The primary analysis fits thermal X-ray spectra with a relativistic disk model, using selected disk-dominated data and a <luminosity> restriction to support the thin-disk assumption. Spectral hardening, inner-edge stress and independently constrained source parameters enter its interpretation. Its <black-hole spin> inference is conditional on the adopted accretion model and Kerr geometry.
