Add paper liquidity-provision loop (lp_paper.py)

Simulates two-sided quoting on the screener's top low-vol markets against the
live order book, tracking net = rewards accrued - adverse-selection bleed.
Clean cash + mark-to-market accounting; fills modeled when midpoint crosses a
resting quote (slightly pessimistic on fill rate); rewards accrue by
score-share of each pool. Discord summaries + state persistence so it can run
for days. This is the decisive, no-money test before any funded/hosted bot.

Fills are modeled when the midpoint crosses a resting quote (deliberately a bit
pessimistic on fill rate); rewards accrue by score-share of each pool. Net P&L,
per-market breakdown, and Discord summaries let it run for days to see whether
the edge survives mean-reversion. **Only if net stays clearly positive does a
real, funded, hosted bot make sense.**

"""Paper liquidity-provision loop — measures NET reward yield without real money.
It simulates posting two-sided limit orders near the midpoint on the screener's
top markets, against the LIVE order book, and tracks:
net P&L = rewards accrued - adverse-selection / inventory P&L
Reward model (per poll, per market):
your_share = your_notional / (your_notional + competing_notional_near_mid)
rewards += daily_pool * your_share * (seconds_elapsed / 86400)
(matches Polymarket's score-share mechanic; assumes ~equal price-quality, which
is conservative since we quote tight to mid.)
Fill / adverse-selection model:
We rest a bid at mid-tick and an ask at mid+tick. Between polls, if the
midpoint crosses a quote, that quote is assumed FILLED at its price, and we
take on inventory marked at the NEW mid — so a price that runs through us
books an immediate loss. This is the bleed that must stay below rewards.
Each poll we "cancel and re-quote" around the new mid (a bot requoting every
poll interval). Shorter --poll = less bleed, fewer missed requotes.
This is an APPROXIMATION (ignores queue position, partial fills, requote
latency), deliberately a bit pessimistic on fills. Good enough to answer the
one question that gates real money: is net positive, and how big?
