Forecast a metric — answers 'what should I expect?' / 'are we on track this month?' / 'project next month'. Returns a per-store `stores` array (each in its OWN currency — never summed across currencies). Each store has: `currentMonth` (month-to-date actual + projected month-end with low/high band, built from the live daily run-rate), `horizon` (future full months with expected/low/high), `method`, `confidence`, explicit `assumptions`, `historyMonths`, and a ready-to-render `charts[0]` line spec (seriesField='series' splits actual vs forecast). HONESTY: every forecast carries a method (month_to_date_pace / linear_trend / naive_last_month / yoy_seasonal), a confidence level, and an interval — LEAD with the range and the confidence, never present the point estimate as a promise. Current-month projection works immediately from orders; forward months need calendar-month snapshot history and degrade gracefully (low confidence / declines to project when too thin). v1 metrics: revenue, orders.
