live: 2026-07-20 reconcile — settle empty-cond Odyssey auto-redeem, fold $0.05 rounding (refs #18)

CASH≠CHAIN -$1.75 root-caused: the 07-16 BikesAreTheBikes copy booked with
empty title/outcome/cond, so settle_resolved could never resolve it; the
venue auto-redeemed $1.694914 on-chain (tx 0x4f303e0e…) while the book
held it open. Hand-settled exactly as settle_resolved would (won @ 1.0,
pnl +$0.68, my_pos/conds cleaned, metadata backfilled from the venue
record) and folded the +$0.050314 fill-rounding remainder as an
adjustments entry (non-trading income, zeroes CASH≠CHAIN, cash credited).
Post: cash == chain $49.324270 (3 RPCs agree), raw drift +0.0003 (0.00).
Machine stopped + heartbeats watched to cessation per the HANDOFF ops
procedure; root cause filed as #18.
