+/**
+ * mmWsFillWatcher.js
+ * Real-time order fill detection for the Market Maker via Polymarket RTDS WebSocket.
+ *
+ * Subscribes to the `activity` topic and filters events by the bot's own proxy wallet.
+ * When a SELL trade is detected on a token we're watching, emits a 'fill' event
+ * so mmExecutor can react instantly instead of polling every 10s.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   import { mmFillWatcher } from './mmWsFillWatcher.js';
+ *   mmFillWatcher.watch(tokenId);          // start watching a token
+ *   mmFillWatcher.unwatch(tokenId);        // stop watching
+ *   mmFillWatcher.on('fill', ({ tokenId, size, price }) => { ... });
+ *   mmFillWatcher.start();
+ *   mmFillWatcher.stop();
