Reject false-positive matches where Jaccard overlap is high but the outcome is
not equivalent (e.g. Poly nomination vs Manifold "If X is nominee, will he win").
- _is_conditional(): detect conditional Manifold markets (If/Conditional on/
Assuming/Given that prefixes + mid-sentence " if ...," clauses) -> reject with
reason "conditional_market".
- _classify_outcome(): classify into nomination|primary_win|general_win|
conditional|other; reject when poly/mfld types differ or either is conditional
-> reason "outcome_mismatch: poly=... manifold=...".
- Persist poly_outcome_type/mfld_outcome_type on ManifoldMatchResult, in
manifold_match_audit (CREATE + idempotent ALTER), save_manifold_audit() and
the bayesian call site.
- Tests covering classification, conditional detection and the Graham Platner
regression (now rejected); valid nomination<->nomination still accepted.
Untouched: _MATCH_THRESHOLD (0.40), MANIFOLD_LOGODDS_WEIGHT, edge thresholds,
exposure, trading logic.

Adds feat_fg_lo / feat_mom_lo / feat_news_lo / feat_mfld_lo / feat_btc_dom_lo
to every trade, all normalized to log-odds contribution for direct comparability.
- fg / mom / btc_dom: raw probability-delta × 2 → log-odds
- news / mfld: already log-odds (LOGODDS_WEIGHT already applied), no scaling
- btc_dom tracked separately in bayesian.py instead of bundled in total_adj
- reasoning string updated to fg_lo= / mom_lo= notation for self-documentation
Schema: 5 new DOUBLE PRECISION columns + 2 partial indexes
Stack: TradingSignal → Order → Trade → save_trade all carry feat fields
Startup: backfill_feature_columns() recovers fg/mom/news/mfld from old
reasoning strings (×2 applied to fg/mom); btc_dom_lo stays NULL for legacy
API: /api/metrics/features — triggered/material split per feature with
two-level thresholds (0.05 for fg/mom/btc_dom, 0.10 for news/mfld)
API: /api/trades/legacy — exposes pre-Phase-1 trades (edge_net IS NULL)
API: _enrich_trade backward-compat: reads DB columns first, falls back to
reasoning regex with unit conversion for pre-Phase-6 trades

Signal 5: ManifoldClient queries Manifold Markets API for a matching binary
market by keyword overlap (threshold 0.25) and applies a log-odds adjustment
proportional to the divergence from the Polymarket prior.
manifold_log_adj = (log_odds(manifold_prob) - log_odds(prior)) × 0.6
A 30pp divergence (Manifold 0.75 vs Poly 0.45) produces edge_gross ≈ 0.19,
clearing the politics far-horizon regime_min=0.12 after costs. Confidence
boosted +0.08 when Manifold match found.
Per-feature observability: every SKIP_EDGE_NET and TRADE log line now includes
fg=±X.XXX mom=±X.XXX mfld=±X.XXXX news=±X.XXXX
so the contribution of each signal to edge is auditable per market.

Phase 1 — Edge neto real (paper.py, bayesian.py, risk/manager.py, db.py):
- Trade records now store edge_gross, edge_net, prior_prob, final_prob,
mid_price, spread_estimate, commission, family_key
- edge_net = edge_gross - SPREAD_ESTIMATE(0.02) - COMMISSION_RATE(0.02)
NOTE: both constants are heuristics, not exact Polymarket exchange costs
- Execution gate changed from edge_gross > MIN_EDGE to edge_net > regime_min_edge
Phase 2 — Market families (polymarket.py):
- market_family_key(market) groups related markets:
texas-republican-2026, fed-april-2026, openai-2026, etc.
- At most 1 trade per family per cycle; occupied_families propagated via main.py
- Family key logged on every TRADE and SKIP line
Phase 3 — GNews priority (news.py, bayesian.py, main.py):
- NewsClient.get_freshness() returns 1.0/0.75/0.40/0.10 by cache age
- gnews_priority(market, news) = uncertainty × volume_score × freshness
- Politics markets sorted by priority DESC before eval so best markets get
the 5-query/cycle GNews budget first
Phase 4 — Regime min-edge by category/horizon (bayesian.py):
- politics >60d → 0.12, 30-60d → 0.10, <30d → 0.08
- tech / crypto/finance → 0.10
- All thresholds applied to edge_net (not edge_gross)
Phase 5 — Observability (bayesian.py, main.py):
- Structured skip labels: SKIP_UNSUPPORTED, SKIP_NO_SIGNALS,
SKIP_PRIOR_EXTREME, SKIP_FAMILY, SKIP_GNEWS_PRIORITY, SKIP_EDGE_NET
- TRADE lines now include family_key, edge_gross, edge_net, regime_min, days
- schema.sql: 8 new cols on trades, 7 new cols on signals (via ALTER TABLE IF NOT EXISTS)

Markets where Polymarket consensus is near-certain leave no room for our
signals to generate MIN_EDGE=0.10 — evaluating them wastes GNews quota and
produces noise. Filter them out early with a clear log reason.

- CACHE_TTL: 4h → 6h (≤36 req/day with ≤9 politics markets)
- GNews only called for is_politics markets (BTC/F&G cover crypto/macro)
- MAX_NEWS_QUERIES_PER_CYCLE=5: BayesianStrategy.reset_cycle() called each
iteration; counter increments only on actual API call (cache hits free)
- 2s asyncio.sleep in news.py finally block after each real HTTP request
- main.py sorts markets: politics first by end_date ascending, so soonest-
resolving markets consume the 5-query budget before others

bot/data/news.py (new):
- NewsClient with in-memory cache (TTL=4h) to stay within 100 req/day limit
- _build_query(): strips dates, punctuation and stopwords from market question
- _score_headlines(): keyword-based pos/neg vote per article, averaged ∈ [-1, +1]
- Degrades to 0.0 on missing key, 403 quota, or network error
bot/strategy/bayesian.py:
- BayesianStrategy(news=NewsClient) — optional, backwards compatible
- Signal 4: GNews sentiment applied as direct log-odds shift (weight=1.5)
so a ±1.0 sentiment score moves a 50% prior to 82%/18%
- +0.10 confidence boost when news signal is present
- NEWS_LOGODDS_WEIGHT constant documented at module level
bot/main.py:
- Instantiate NewsClient, pass to BayesianStrategy, close in finally block

Every market now emits an INFO line:
TRADE/SKIP <question> | cat=... | prior=... | est=... | edge=... | conf=... | dir=... | signals=... [| reason=...]
Unsupported-category and no-external-signals early exits also log at INFO
so the full evaluation funnel is visible without changing log level.

- polymarket.py: add keyword lists for politics (election, trump, ukraine…),
tech (AI, OpenAI, Apple, nvidia…), and events (super bowl, oscar, spacex…);
introduce _detect_category() so all four categories flow through a single
code path; filter already-expired markets (end_dt < now) in addition to
the existing future-cutoff filter; log per-category counts at startup
- bayesian.py: extend is_any_supported to include is_politics / is_tech /
is_events; use BTC as a risk-sentiment proxy for non-crypto categories
(halved weight to reflect weaker correlation); cap confidence_cap at 0.65
for macro/politics/tech/events; MIN_EDGE stays at 0.10
