25-delta skew computed IN DELTA SPACE from the snapshot's contract deltas: implied volatility is linearly interpolated at call delta +0.25 and put delta -0.25 between the adjacent bracketing contracts, and skew_25d = iv_put_25d - iv_call_25d (positive = downside protection priced over upside). The raw call_iv_skew/put_iv_skew strike rows of /iv-surface are the strike-space INPUT view; this endpoint answers in the delta convention practitioners quote. Contracts failing the shared IV plausibility gate (API-1.8) or missing a delta are excluded and counted - the literal-0.0 IV marker never enters the formula. A target outside the reliable chain's delta range yields null, never an extrapolated number. Defaults to the nearest expiry; error codes match /snapshot.
