Root cause of zero live placements: the FIRST two qualifying signals
(Kruto 21:21, badaf Epic 21:53) each CRASHED the bot inside the
unguarded live order path (machine events: exit_code=1 seconds after
each signal; tick-size rejection the likely thrower — price was rounded
to 3dp on 1c-tick books). Fly restarted it and boot baseline marked the
fresh trades seen-without-copying: crash -> restart -> trade eaten,
twice. Fixes: _order never raises (failures return ok:False and feed
the new missed-row instrumentation); tick-size-aware pricing (cached
get_tick_size, buys ceil / sells floor, 0.01 fallback valid on every
book); size floored to 2dp; per-wallet poll guard (parity with the push
handler); baseline exempts trades younger than the stale window so a
restart can never eat a copyable trade again. host/order_probe.py =
controlled end-to-end placement proof (~$2 round trip).

- start.sh: COPYBOT_ROLE=live — unarmed (missing LIVE_PRIVATE_KEY /
LIVE_FUNDER_ADDRESS / LIVE_CONFIRM) idles in geocheck, no clone, no
book, no orders; armed runs config.live.example.json + own state file
copybot_state.live.json, --live, poll mode (webhook stays on paper).
- confirm_live: accepts the phrase from LIVE_CONFIRM env — the USER
types it into flyctl secrets set (rule 0.7 human checkpoint, headless);
wrong value aborts, unset disarms at next boot.
- config.live.example.json: Set E + pinned floors (mirrors paper),
bankroll $50 @ 10% = $5 stakes, caps untouched (rule 0.6), leaked
Discord webhook URL removed (ROTATE it — was committed publicly).
- fly.live.toml: separate app wwf-copybot-live, arn, no inbound, no
checks, role env baked.

Polymarket geoblocks order placement by IP and Railway ran the worker in a
US region — fine for the paper bot (reads only) but a dead end for going
live. Fly arn (Sweden, unrestricted, ~25ms from the CLOB's eu-west-2
primaries) passes: geocheck VERDICT TRADABLE, pm geoblock blocked:false.
- host/geocheck.py: 3-probe geo-gate verdict (ipinfo, pm /api/geoblock,
unauth CLOB order POST); --idle keeps a test machine up
- host/start.sh: geocheck at boot (GEOCHECK_ONLY=1 = probe-and-idle test
mode, no second book-writer); warns loudly if a region is blocked
- fly.toml/fly.Dockerfile: wwf-copybot, single machine, http_service :8080
for the Alchemy push webhook (now wh_blf4qjjvfdbqs9mc -> fly.dev domain)
- deploy_bot.sh: railway redeploy -> flyctl apps restart + banner wait

Setting ALCHEMY_SIGNING_KEY on the worker switches start.sh to webhook
mode: instant copies on POST /alchemy (signature-verified), a 60s
housekeeping heartbeat (settle, feed, summary), and a full backstop poll
every 5 min so a dropped push costs minutes, not a silent miss. Webhook
mode now baselines at boot and publishes an initial feed like poll mode.
No signing key -> classic 60s poll, unchanged.

- portfolio.py: follow set -> the fee-aware copy-positive sharps (Kruto2027,
shisan888, fortuneking) + LSB1; entries pay the 0.03 sports taker fee and a
+0.5%/~90s lag haircut (entry_model); backfilled from June 1; feed exposes
fee_rate/slip/lag_est_s/fees_paid and unreal uses true cost basis.
- copybot.paper.json: same four wallets, p80 conviction floors from the cache
(Kruto $123.08, shisan $704.33, fortuneking $970, LSB1 $231). Fresh $1k state
committed separately by the bot - clean July book.
- host/start.sh + nixpacks: turnkey 24/7 worker for Railway/Fly/VPS - clones
with GITHUB_TOKEN, resumes the committed state, polls 60s, publishes
state+feed+fills back through publish_feed. Replaces the Mac poller.
