-- **`history --export-chart`.** The `history` command renders a
-  single-series braille chart of portfolio value over time
-  (synthesized into `Candle` records and fed to
-  `format.computeBrailleChart`). It doesn't share the z2d
-  pipeline that `quote` (`tui/chart.zig`) and `projections`
-  (`tui/projection_chart.zig`) use. To export, options:
-    - **A.** Pipe the synthesized candles through
-      `tui/chart.zig`'s `renderChart` - but that draws Bollinger
-      Bands and an RSI panel, both meaningless on a portfolio-
-      value series.
-    - **B.** Add a minimal "single-series line chart" z2d
-      renderer (a slimmed-down `projection_chart.zig` without
-      bands). ~150 lines. Same renderToSurface shape so PNG
-      export is trivial after.
-    - **C.** Skip it permanently; the braille chart is fine for
-      what `history` is. Document as "not exportable".
-  B is the right answer if PNG export of the history chart is
-  ever requested.
 - **`projections --convergence` / `--return-backtest`.** Both
   render forecast-evaluation charts via `tui/forecast_chart.zig`.
