4) Learning log

• Change today: fixed Pulse chain id parsing + token address selection; added paper-trading skip diagnostics; added price sanity + major-token denylist + min liquidity filter; fixed tsx runner flag for Node >=20.6.
• Evidence: see paper_diag in scratchpads; it reports why entries were skipped (no price, caps, etc.).
• Next hypothesis: if skipped_major dominates, we need better filtering to target non-major tokens; if skipped_liquidity dominates, tune minLiquidityUsd; if skipped_no_price dominates, add pricing fallbacks.

5) Next 24h plan

1. Add pricing fallback for common Base tokens + better Dexscreener pair selection (expected: fewer skipped_no_price). Guardrail: keep $/trade + exposure caps unchanged.
2. Enforce maxPositions consistently (expected: prevent over-entry). Guardrail: maxPositions from config.
3. If still zero entries, log first 5 candidate token addresses + chains for manual inspection.
