The S&P 500's lowest closing print of the 2022-2023 bear market falls within calendar-year 2023 (not before).
Determinable with high confidence from index closing-price records. Fully resolvable at window close (2023-12-31): the 2022 bottom was never breached in 2023. No outcome value assigned per instructions.

Evidence of what happened
The S&P 500's bear-market closing low of 3,577.03 was set on October 12, 2022 (intraday low next day). The index never traded below that level during calendar 2023; its 2023 low was materially higher, and it closed 2023 up ~24%. Therefore the bear-market bottom fell in 2022, NOT 2023 — the criterion (lowest close within calendar 2023) is not met.
Independent confirmation that 3,577.03 on Oct 12, 2022 was the trough (-25.4% from the Jan 3, 2022 peak of 4,796.56), and that 2023 was a strongly positive year (+24.2%), so no lower low occurred in 2023.
