+"""Sync floors from copybot.paper.json to config.live.json.
+
+sync_floors.py only updates copybot.paper.json (paper bot). The live bot's
+config.live.json floors are never auto-updated (HANDOFF.md: "nothing
+auto-writes it"). This script mirrors the paper bot's floors into the live
+config so both bots gate on the same conviction thresholds.
+
+Run after sync_floors.py (daily.sh calls sync_floors.py, then this):
+    python3 sync_live_floors.py
+
+Or add to daily.sh after the sync_floors.py line:
+    python3 sync_live_floors.py || echo "[daily] live floor sync skipped"
