jaxperro 8c07343735 discord: retire per-trade pings, add daily sharp digest; trust: v2 self-certify + invalidated-wallet fallback
* per-trade Discord pings removed everywhere: copybot placement/settle/startup
  alerts silenced (engine.webhook forced off), webhook_receiver.py archived,
  Procfile removed. The ONLY Discord output is now live/discord_daily.py at the
  end of the daily pipeline: one embed listing every watch_sharps wallet with a
  Polymarket profile link + 30D conviction win% / record / P&L.

* trust.py fixes found on the first scheduled run (sharp list collapsed 25->7):
  - Polymarket rewrites endDate after resolution, so freshly re-pulled wallets'
    corrected res_t stopped matching the stale cross-wallet consensus
    (374/454 of iohihoo's rows wrongly distrusted). v2 rows with resolved=TRUE
    are now self-certifying (resolved=TRUE implies endDate-based res_t observed
    post-end) — consensus only gates legacy rows.
  - daily.sh invalidates watchlist wallets by DELETING their pulled row; a
    transiently failed re-pull then dropped the wallet's entire history from
    the trusted set (the 0x73afc816 whale vanished). Legacy rows of wallets
    missing from pulled now fall back to trusting markets resolved >=14d ago.
  Re-run: 85 conviction wallets, 34 copy-positive sharps — whale/iohihoo/
  Stavenson/LSB1/Kruto all recovered.

Archive — strategies that didn't work

These tools were built and tested during the research in ../FINDINGS.md. They all proved to be dead ends (the market is efficient / the metric was biased), so they're archived here for reference rather than deleted. Each one works as written — it's the strategy that didn't clear. They import smart_money/copytrade from the repo root, so to run one you'd adjust the import path.

File What it did Why it's here
copytrade.py Paper/live copy-trade engine — mirror a watchlist's entries/exits, % -of-bankroll sizing, price guard, per-position cap, Discord alerts. Copying entries is EV; followed wallets win ~50%. Backtested 48%.
backtest.py Replay a watchlist over a window, mark outcomes from resolution. The tool that proved copy-trading loses.
edge_research.py Scan ~2000 wallets for reliable weekly consistency (% green weeks, profit factor, Sharpe). "Consistent" wallets were mostly young accounts (survivorship); no durable edge.
lookback.py Deep-dive a wallet list over a long window, split into halves for out-of-sample reads. Showed the "best" wallets had <90 days of history.
table_77.py Aggregate a wallet set to CSV (ROI, total staked, consistency). Supported the above; ROI inversely related to size.
lp_screener.py Rank reward-eligible markets by risk-adjusted LP yield. The high APRs were illusory — see lp_paper.
lp_paper.py Paper liquidity-provision loop: simulate quoting, track net = rewards adverse selection. Polymarket refunds unearned reward pool; thin-book "jackpots" don't pay.
xarb.py Cross-venue scanner: match the same event on Polymarket vs Kalshi, flag price gaps. Venues priced efficiently (~1¢); both legs cost >$1 after fees.

The keeper that came out of all this lives at the repo root: insider.py.
