Weekly Edge #9WebsiteOctober 19, 2026

Issue #9: the board switched to Alt Risk Off, 66 bear flips at the weekly close, and two days the research lane could not read

Public release

  • Issue 9 covers 12 to 18 October. Bitcoin lost 2.0% on the week while the median coin in our daily list of 78 lost 10.3%, and only 13 did better than bitcoin. Our Regime Board switched from Rally to Alt Risk Off at 18:00 UTC on Wednesday, when the S&P 500 closed 0.08% under its 20 day average, and it did not switch back. At the weekly close 66 coins flipped bear on the Trend Flip Scanner, Ether and Solana among them, and weekly breadth fell to 30%. It also has the research lane's tests (a switch that held, open interest moving one exchange at a time on bitcoin, short sellers paid and not squeezed), everything we shipped, and thirty one resolved receipts with the fifteen losses listed before the sixteen wins.
  • The research lane lost two days of its own exchange data, Thursday and Friday, to a country block on the Mac that runs it. The issue prints the hole instead of filling it: the session table has five rows, the week's coin count comes from the Sunday file's own seven day field, and the receipt vault says which reads are missing.
  • Issue 8's five things to watch are graded on the playbook page, all five due this week, and a fresh list of five is set for 19 to 25 October. This is the second issue built by the Monday routine.
Weekly Edge #8WebsiteOctober 12, 2026

Issue #8: two hours did the damage, our regime board read rally throughout, and the first issue built by a routine

Public release

  • Issue 8 covers 5 to 11 October. Bitcoin lost 3.2% on the week and almost all of it went in two hours, between 01:00 and 03:00 UTC on Wednesday and in the single hour from 15:00 UTC on Thursday, both with US stocks close to flat, so our Regime Board read Rally for all 168 hours and never came within 0.6% of switching. Of the 53 coins in our daily list all week, 17 finished higher and the median one fell 4.2%. It also has the weekly trend close with seventeen bear flips and four bull, Ether's open interest at a 30 session low on one exchange while the other grew, short sellers who were paid rather than squeezed, the thin coins that doubled, everything we shipped, and twenty four resolved receipts with the eleven losses listed before the thirteen wins.
  • This is the first issue built by a routine. A scheduled task froze every source at 05:15 UTC on Monday 12 October, five hours after the week closed, derived every number from those files, wrote the pages, rendered them and opened the pull request that put them here. The receipt vault on the last page says where every number came from.
  • Issue 7's five things to watch are graded on the playbook page, four of them due this week, and a fresh list of five is set for 12 to 18 October.
Weekly Edge #6 and #7WebsiteOctober 11, 2026

Issues #6 and #7: our board said rally, then risk off for a day, while the coins went nowhere

Public release

  • Issue 7 covers 28 September to 4 October. Bitcoin held a range and rose 2.4%, most of it on Sunday, while the median liquid coin in our daily list finished the week flat. Our Regime Board switched to Alt Risk Off for 23.5 hours on Thursday and Friday, and our research lane had written down on Thursday that one ordinary up day in US stocks would switch it back, which is what happened. It also has the weekly trend close with nine bear flips, Solana's open interest falling a fifth on one exchange while the price sat still, everything we shipped, and six resolved receipts with the three losses listed before the three wins.
  • Issue 6 covers 21 to 27 September and is a short one that lives on the site only. Nothing builds this report automatically, so it was not built in its own week; we built it on 5 October from the same sources and filtered every read back to that week so the archive has no gap. It has the week, fifteen resolved receipts with the seven losses listed first, and Issue 5's five things to watch, graded, and it carries no new watch list because one written with hindsight would not be a test.
  • From these issues we print open interest from Bybit as percentage changes only. Bybit counts both sides of every contract, so its raw count is twice what Binance reports for the same positions, and the cross exchange ratios in our daily research from 25 September to 4 October read about twice too high, so we do not use them.
Weekly Edge #5WebsiteSeptember 25, 2026

Issue #5: our board said risk off, and the coins went up anyway

Public release

  • Issue #5 covers 14 to 20 September: the Regime Board's one flip, from Chop to Alt Risk Off when the dollar rose past its band on Monday, and the other 160 hours it held that call through Tuesday's washout, Wednesday's Fed rate hike and a three day rally in which all 47 coins in our daily list finished above Tuesday's close. It also has the weekly trend close, the research lane's tests, the Cascade Radar's first eleven days read with the correction we made to our own note, and every resolved receipt with the five losses listed before the five wins.
  • This issue is late. It was due on 21 September, but the Monday routines that build it ran out of account usage that day, so we froze the evidence on 25 September and filtered every read back to the week. The PDF says so on its playbook page, and Issue #6 will cover 21 to 27 September.
  • Same locked design as the last three issues: the cover is the week's real BTC tape with the flip drawn from the board's own log, every chart is drawn from the frozen data, and the funnel is printed as measured, including zero trial starts in 30 days for a third issue running.
NavigationWebsiteSeptember 16, 2026

The main menu is trimmed to the tools that get daily use

Public release

  • The main menu at the top of every page now carries the scanner, Signals, Research, the Trend Flip Scanner, the Regime Board, the Cascade Radar and Plans. The scanner dashboard has its own menu and it keeps Signals, Research, Trend Flip and the Cascade Radar. On a phone the shortcut row under the header follows the same list.
  • The Pump.fun Radar, the Pump.fun Holder Check, the Receipts page, the Verify page, the Loss ledger and the Open tape have moved out of the main menu into a small group at the foot of every page called Archive. Nothing was deleted: every one of those pages stays live at the same address, and any saved link or search result still works.
  • The reason is focus. We have no edge we can prove on pump.fun tokens over the established tools, and the proof pages are not part of the daily trading loop, so we have stopped building on them and put the effort into the Cascade Radar, the Regime Board and the scanner.
Weekly Edge #4WebsiteSeptember 14, 2026

Issue #4: one flip, the longest Chop run, the rally given back

Public release

  • Issue #4 covers the Regime Board's one flip from BTC Dominant to Chop after the US holiday and the 132 hour Chop run that followed, the longest in the board's log; the 73 flip weekly cohort at its third grade; the research lane's week, which is the breadth test that fired the day liquidity came back, Thursday's oil and rates shock, Friday's CPI bounce that cut bitcoin open interest by 6.7%, and three squeezes that all showed shorts paying first; and every resolved receipt with the four losses listed first.
  • Same locked design system as Issues #2 and #3: the cover is the week's real BTC tape with the flip drawn from the board's own log, every chart is data true by construction, and the funnel is printed as measured, including zero trial starts in 30 days for a second issue running.
  • This one landed on the day the last issue promised, 14 September, and it is the first issue written under the owner's plain voice rule, so every term is explained the first time it appears.
Cascade RadarWebsiteSeptember 14, 2026

Cascade Radar: every liquid Bybit perpetual placed by the fuel it carries

Members release

  • The new /tools/cascade-radar page maps every liquid Bybit USDT perpetual by how much the shorts are paying to stay short (funding per day, across) and how fast open interest is building under the price (24 hour change, up). Members see each coin, the stage the scanner has it in, the next trigger with its numbers, a 24 hour timeline of price, open interest and funding, and a 48 hour replay of the coin's path across the map. Visitors see the stage counts.
  • Stages come from the scanner's own episode memory (rules squeeze-rules-v1.2, refreshed every two minutes over the $1m+ crypto universe), so the page and its event feed cannot disagree.
  • The page carries the 90 day replay as measured: the ignition print alone had no entry edge, a quarter of ignitions ran +20% before −10%, spike-then-shorts carried twice the share of +50% moves, and the open interest turn was the exit warning that helped. Measured conditions, not advice.
Weekly Edge #3WebsiteSeptember 6, 2026

Issue #3: four labels, one record closed, losses first

Public release

  • Issue #3 covers the Regime Board's eleven label changes in one week, how the record 180 hour BTC Dominant run ended, the 73 flip weekly cohort at its first grade, four entries the gate refused, the research lane's jobs print and breadth findings, and every resolved receipt with the three losses listed first.
  • Same locked design system as Issue #2: the cover is the week's real BTC tape with every regime field drawn from the board's own log, and the funnel is printed as measured, including zero trial starts in 30 days.
  • Issue #3 was promised for 1 September and slipped a week; the archive says so instead of moving the calendar.
Daily briefWebsiteSeptember 2, 2026

SENTINEL Daily: one read per UTC market date

Public release

  • The new /daily page and the dashboard's brief line carry the accepted regime, the nearest flip in typical-move units, crypto breadth, counts-only weekly outcomes, and the gate's fixed +4h counterfactual for the entries it declined. Context, not signals.
  • Up to three reviewed research highlights ship with their evidence class and cutoff time, and the brief names the sealed source document it was composed from.
  • Subscribers receive the same brief inside their morning digest.
Weekly Edge #2WebsiteAugust 25, 2026

Issue #2 and the redesigned report system

Public release

  • Issue #2 covers the record 178.6 hour BTC Dominant run, the 73-flip weekly close on the Trend Flip Scanner, what 24,960 backtests refuted, both free TradingView indicators, and every resolved receipt with the loss listed first.
  • The report wears a new design system: a dark cover drawn from the week's real BTC tape, warm paper reading pages, and charts generated directly from the board's own logs so every graphic is data-true by construction.
  • The design went through a two-panel expert review before shipping, and its rules are simple: amber always means bitcoin, losses print first, and nothing decorative gets drawn unless it is also data.
Holder checkWebsiteJuly 21, 2026

Free pump.fun holder truth check

Public release

  • The /tools/holder-check page runs a free holder-truth check for any tracked pump.fun token: holder clustering, concentration and the wallet-quality read, with the verdict framed as evidence rather than a call.
  • Results carry a shareable card and link into the Pump.fun Alpha Radar for the full terminal view.
Weekly Edge #1WebsiteJuly 19, 2026

Free weekly report archive and Issue #1

Public release

  • The new /reports archive makes each weekly research receipt free to read or download without an account or email gate.
  • Issue #1 covers resolved model evidence, the strongest and weakest signal outcomes, Solana activity, measured marketing evidence, and the next product work.
  • Landing and scanner banners point to the same immutable issue file; future corrections will be labelled instead of silently replacing a published PDF.
Release A/BWebsiteJuly 13-14, 2026

Glass v3, wallet-first onboarding, and radar preview hardening

Design system

  • The glass v3 design system shipped across every public page, with self-hosted fonts replacing third-party font delivery.

Access and sessions

  • Wallet-first onboarding is the primary access path; member sessions are server-backed and revoked when the wallet disconnects.
  • Admin routes now authenticate with a distinct admin secret, separate from integration webhook secrets.

Proof surfaces

  • The Pump.fun radar anonymous preview is bonding-native and factual-only, with the member surface code-split behind access (Phase A).
  • The member radar view now shows DEX-paid status by default (member surface only).
  • /research adds a live equity walk and an all-time receipts tab beside the existing windows.
July auditModelJuly 2, 2026

Short Watch and proof boundaries refreshed

Research boundaries

  • Short Watch remains Research/Admin evidence only: no CORE route, public receipt, tracked position, or prediction-row promotion.
  • Pump.fun promotion and live-consumption paths remain locked while source, route, and deploy-baseline audits continue.
  • CORE delivery: sweet (liqsqueeze contained to shadow-only since 2026-07-27); Research Lab live delivery remains super after risk acknowledgement.

Proof ownership

  • Glass Ledger /verify is backend-owned, with the static frontend redirect removed so the live verification route stays authoritative.
  • TradingView tv_* prediction rows are outcome-tracking rows; forwarded=false is not subscriber-delivered proof.
Full sweepSecurityJune 9, 2026

Public boundary and entitlement audit

API boundary

  • Raw trade and backtest API surfaces moved behind integration/admin access; public consumers use receipts and tier performance instead.
  • Copilot request bodies now have size caps, safer logging, and request guards so prompt content is not stored raw.
  • Production CORS now requires explicit origins instead of relying on a wildcard fallback.

Subscriber copy

  • Telegram and web copy name the live surfaces plainly; at that release CORE named both tiers, and liqsqueeze has since moved to shadow-only containment (see current docs for the present state).
  • Alpha remains paused/logged (now presented as Composite (paused)), and legacy squeeze rows are not presented as live delivery.
Receipt passWebsiteJune 8, 2026

Proof pages and free-tool copy refreshed

Public pages

  • /tape, /losses, /verify, and /performance carry the public proof path instead of asking visitors to trust a static claim.
  • The Trend Flip Scanner keeps failed flips visible and now has a mobile card view for narrow screens.
  • The SENTINEL Trend tool is hosted as a free open-source Pine script on the site.
Phase 3WebsiteMay 5, 2026

Marketing surfaces aligned to the SENTINEL desk

Website

  • Home scanner chrome, About, Docs, Performance, Signals, and Updates moved onto the SENTINEL design primitives.
  • Each redesigned page carries its own title, description, OpenGraph metadata, and Twitter metadata.
  • The scanner table itself remains untouched for a later product phase.

Audit rollup

  • Snapshot export now starts with SENTINEL SNAPSHOT.
  • Docs no longer describe tickers as trade links.
  • Performance figures on /beta pull live from the scanner — no static constants.
  • Static HTML cache headers now allow short edge caching after deploy.
Phase 2BetaMay 5, 2026

Design system and founding beta proof

Design system

  • Added the sentinel color tokens, 8px-radius components, and shared Badge, Button, Card, KV, and Section primitives.
  • Recorded the web voice reference so page copy stays aligned with the public research desk.

Founding beta

  • /beta now uses the design system as the proof page for the rollout.
  • Public receipt components pull live CORE context from the scanner rather than static marketing constants.
  • Founding access copy explains wallet-first onboarding, 14-day access, manual renewal, and non-custodial USDC flow.
Phase 1.5SecurityMay 4, 2026

Web perimeter hotfix

Trust and SEO

  • Trade URLs were removed from scanner web components.
  • /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml now serve real static files instead of the home page.
  • Unknown routes return HTTP 404 with the exported 404 page.
  • Root copy dropped hype phrasing in favor of research-desk positioning.
  • Root OpenGraph and Twitter metadata were added for shared links.
Phase 1WebsiteMay 4, 2026

Read-only web audit

Audit scope

  • Inventoried the marketing pages, scanner dashboard surface, robots, sitemap, metadata, and operational link rules.
  • Catalogued findings across blocker, high, medium, and low severity in docs/WEB_AUDIT_2026-05-04.md.
  • All blockers and high findings resolved by Phase 1.5.
  • Confirmed no frontend env leaks, no client references to admin APIs, and no stale performance constants in frontend copy.
BillingBillingMay 4, 2026

Solana Pay rail wired for founding access

Subscription flow

  • /subscribe and /renew create one-off Solana Pay invoices for the founding CORE subscription.
  • Helius webhook auth, polling fallback, invoice expiry, and duplicate-payment idempotency are wired.
  • Payments activate access only after matching the expected recipient, mint, amount window, and timing rules.
v7 archiveModelApril 6, 2026

Historical model and scanner pass

Model history

  • The April model pass rebalanced scoring weights and improved forward-return validation tooling.
  • Model versioning is tracked in git; all live performance figures serve from the scanner endpoint directly.
  • Static changelogs carry no performance constants — figures belong to the live scanner, not this page.

Scanner UX

  • Column presets, filter persistence, data staleness indicators, onboarding, mobile cards, and error boundaries were added earlier in the product cycle.
  • Those scanner-table workflows remain separate from the Phase 3 marketing redesign.
