jaxperro 3d0bc7f001 Add live/ skilled-wallet scanner + cache; document clean OOS finding
live/: operationalizes the LBS/Yale "skilled ~3%" result against the live
data-api. Enumerate recent liquid markets -> top traders -> candidate pool;
cache every wallet's resolved bets once in DuckDB (~26k wallets / 12.5M bets,
keyed by per-bet resolution time so any cutoff re-scores in seconds); 5-gate
skill funnel (n>=15, z>0, BH-FDR, split-half OOS, MM/bot cap); dashboard +
daily refresh.

Key finding: copying the high-win-rate "favorite-rider" cohort looks +23.6%
in-sample but loses -7.4% once selected on pre-June-1 data only (99% -> 68%
win rate) — selection bias, reproducing the paper's "lucky winners revert"
result on live data. Win rate != edge, again.

wide/: bulk subgraph->DuckDB scanner (survivorship-bias-free over all wallets),
but the public subgraph is frozen at Jan 2026 -> historical tool only.

Large local data (*.duckdb, candidates.json, *_scored.json, history/) gitignored.
README + FINDINGS updated with the current logic and the clean result.

"""Rank wallets by edge from the ingested DuckDB — with the guardrails that
stop a massive scan from just surfacing luck.
Edge metric: z = (wins - Σp)/√Σp(1-p), wins above what entry odds implied.
A high win rate alone is meaningless (buy 95¢ favorites -> 90% wins, no edge),
and on this data win rate isn't even biased-high the way the data-api is.
Guardrails:
* min_n resolved bets and a market-maker cap on num_trades (a 300k-trade
grinder posts huge z with no information — see FINDINGS.md / bjprolo).
* Benjamini-Hochberg FDR: scan 100k wallets and thousands clear z>3 by
chance. We report how many survive a 5% false-discovery rate.
* Out-of-sample: --cutoff scores wallets on bets resolved on/before a date,
then measures the SAME wallets forward. Edge that's real persists; edge
that's curve-fit (every strategy we tested) reverts to z~0 / 50%.
