Work from time one; a finite initial prefix does not affect convergence. Fix a positive integer , and use the stopping time and budget from part (b). Define
It is nonnegative. For each finite , the stopped variable is integrable: it is bounded by the finite sum , and the budget is bounded by .
The stopped increment of is
Taking conditional expectations, the assumed drift bound gives
The last term is bounded by ; no integrability assumption on the unlocalized has been used. Its contribution is exactly cancelled by the budget decrement from part (b), giving
Thus is an integrable nonnegative supermartingale. By the almost sure supermartingale convergence theorem it has a finite almost-sure limit. The bounded decreasing budget has a finite pathwise limit as well, so converges to a finite limit almost surely.
Take the intersection of these probability-one convergence events over all positive integers . On the further probability-one event , choose an integer strictly larger than that total. Then , so the stopped sequence is the original one. Consequently
This proves supermartingale convergence with summable adapted drift under almost-sure summability alone; it does not require .
