+# Ollama lives on 11434 (the standard port). The stack pointed at 30068/4000 with
+# a model that was never pulled, so catalyst enrichment produced nothing from
+# 2026-08-03 to 2026-09-13 — silently, because enrich_recent_news reports failure
+# in its return value rather than raising. Smoke-tested 2026-09-13: tools:latest
+# parses 8/8 headlines in ~2.8s each and classifies offering_dilution / fda_approval
+# correctly. Verify the model is pulled before changing either line.

+# EXIT MANAGEMENT — retuned 2026-09-13. The previous config stacked FOUR
+# independent ratchets (BE@+5% from the env default, step-trail every 0.25R,
+# prior-low trail, and profit-lock tiers). Together they capped every winner at
+# ~1R: over 62 live + 172 paper trades the bot kept only 9.3% of the move on
+# trades that ran >=20%, and held winners a median 10 min vs 19 min for losers.
+# Replaced with a single percentage giveback that starts only after +1R. The
+# 8/12/15/20% neighbourhood all beat the old config on BOTH stacks in BOTH
+# train and test splits (mean R 0.20-0.25 vs 0.125), so 12% is a plateau pick,
+# not a fitted one. Re-sweep with sweep_exits.py before changing.
