= Moving-variable conditional-expectation convergence

If bounded random variables $X_n$ converge almost surely to $X$, then
$$
\mathbb E[X_n\mid\mathcal F_n]
\longrightarrow
\mathbb E[X\mid\mathcal F_\infty]
$$
almost surely and in $L^1$. For $Z_n=\sup_{m\geq n}|X_m-X|$, the variables $\mathbb E[Z_n\mid\mathcal F_n]$ form a nonnegative supermartingale with expectations tending to zero.
