Spectral positivity of the stable process #
The offspring-law witness of exists_stableDomain has no step below -1. Its
reciprocal-normalizer jump bound passes to the unique limiting law by the closed-set inequality
in the Portmanteau theorem (Billingsley, Convergence of Probability Measures, 2nd ed., 1999,
Theorem 2.1). The limit is spectrally positive; Bertoin, Lévy Processes, 1996, Chapter VII,
treats the mirror image (spectrally negative processes).

Almost surely, simultaneously at all times t ∈ [0,T], the path has no negative jump:
f (t-) ≤ f t. Proved through the offspring witness (steps ≥ -1) and uniqueness, not through
the absence of fixed discontinuities.
