Promotion Verdict (KP, the 11th-cusp three-condition gate)
get_promotion_verdict
The orthodox promotion gate, which the older get_career_advanced never applied because it does not read a cusp sub lord at all. Three conditions from Jyotish Part 5 p.185 quoting KP Reader 6 p.287, restated verbatim at R6 p.297: the 11th cuspal sub lord must be direct, its star lord must be direct, and the 11th CSL must signify 2, 6, 10 or 11. The star-lord condition is returned as 'starLordRetrogradeOverride', a flag rather than a hard veto, because the source author himself overrides it on evidence at P5 pp.186-188. Returns two window sets that consultations routinely conflate: 'selectionNewsWindows' (an 11th significator that also signifies the 3rd, which is hearing of the selection, R3 p.433) and 'actualPromotionWindows' (the 11th conjoined with 2, 6 or 10, which is the order itself). Also returns 'stagnationFlag' (a 10th CSL tied to the 1st and 10th and nothing else is structural stagnation, Part 1 p.198), 'delayAgent' (Saturn owning the 11th delays until the native gives up, then delivers, R6 p.299), 'bothCuspsVariant' (the stricter applied form requiring the 6th and 10th CSLs to signify 2/6/10/11 simultaneously) and 'transferCoincides'. No salary or increment figure is derivable from a chart and none is returned.

}Birth data
This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
