 - **Modified reads:** `IsReadModified = true` with `ReturnBounds = true` is `Bad_InvalidArgument` per node (Part 11 §6.5.3.3).
 - **Kill switch:** `ServerHistorian:HonorReturnBounds` (default `true`). `false` ignores `ReturnBounds` exactly as before #691 —
   stored samples only, and no modified-read rejection.
