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.
