+ * `SlotBand[]` (per schedule, never pooled into one minter call — audit

+ *
+ *   - the take lands in a slot's band  → that slot's canonical anchor instant

+ *   - the take lands in no band        → `null`: an ad-hoc / PRN take the
+ *     caller inserts standalone with `scheduledFor = takenAt`.
+ *
+ * PRN / empty / malformed schedules mint no bands (`hasExpectedSlots:false`)
+ * and therefore always return `null` — every PRN intake is a standalone row.
+ *
+ * Pure / synchronous: no DB access. The caller `select`s the schedule columns
