What I Will Not Add to abrownfox001

Parts 1–4 defined the production contract, the slot log, the failure catalog, and the retune order.

Part 5 is the other half of production: saying no.

After TWAP60 and the 150ms taker delay, the tempting move is to add products until the 5-minute book feels easy again. That is how a specialist becomes a junk drawer.

1. The Thing I Am Protecting

One loop:

BTC 5m
→ 60s Chainlink TWAP vs open
→ 45–55¢ only
→ re-score
→ scratch or redeem
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Public shell: twapFeed.ts, signal.ts, engine.ts, clob.ts.

Private layer: calibrated P(up).

Every extra product competes with that loop for attention, logs, and risk budget.

2. I Will Not Add Combos to engine.ts

Combos are RFQ multi-leg parlays.

5m BTC Up/Down is a single-clock CLOB.

Shared logger: fine.

Shared trigger: no.

If Combos ever get research time, they get a separate adapter and a separate cap. They do not inherit 5m scratch timers or TWAP path features.

3. I Will Not Let an Agent Connector Become the Trigger

Exa Connect and similar tooling can query the venue. That is a client.

Production decisions still require:

  • official TWAP freshness
  • delay-aware execution
  • per-slot caps
  • skip-on-stale

An agent that “buys Up if BTC is green” is the old CEX-last bot with a new coat of paint.

4. I Will Not Spray Assets to Replace a Weaker BTC Read

ETH / SOL / XRP 5m markets exist. They are not a patch for BTC calibration decay.

Different books. Different depth. Different lead-lag.

Same official-sounding word (“TWAP”) does not make the weights portable.

The public footprint is ~99% BTC for a reason.

5. I Will Not Share 5m Weights With 15m or Kalshi

15-minute Kalshi CF-close and Polymarket 5m TWAP60 are cousins, not clones.

Reuse:

  • risk caps
  • stale-data hard-fail
  • structured logs

Do not reuse:

  • P(up) weights
  • 47s / 226s timing constants
  • scratch thresholds
  • open-pin code

Part 4’s rule still holds: change one system at a time.

6. I Will Not Revive Snapshot Logic

No CEX-close labels.

No “use spot until RTDS returns.”

No 30s leftovers on new 5m markets.

If the official series is missing, the slot is skipped. That skip is a feature.

7. I Will Not Treat July Stats as Live Setpoints

The README sample is style evidence:

  • mid-band fills
  • later sells than buys
  • filtered resolved book around 60.7% on 150 markets

Useful to audit identity.

Useless as a frozen production KPI after the delay change.

Copy the shape. Re-estimate on post-Sept 4, 60s-TWAP data.

8. What I Will Keep Adding

Only things that make the existing loop auditable:

  • better freshness checks
  • signal / submit / fill clocks
  • rate-limit backoff
  • scratch-spread logging
  • Data API reconciliation
  • hard tags for STALE_TWAP, FILL_TAX, DELAY_ROT

That is production work. It is not a new product.

9. Series Recap

  • Part 1: Production means the 5m contract, not a longer README
  • Part 2: A slot log has to separate signal death from venue friction
  • Part 3: Mid-band bots still die from stale pins, fill tax, thin scratches, quota storms
  • Part 4: Retune feed → delay/fills → scratch → threshold → weights, on the right calendar
  • Part 5: Do not dilute the specialist loop with Combos, agents, or extra coins

One line:

Forecast the official TWAP path, buy it only near fair value, refuse weak tickets — and refuse every extra product that would make that loop un-auditable.
