Six live predictions were marked unresolvable, including MSFT twice, WMT and
ITW. Re-running the calculation against yahoo resolves all six, so they were
never unresolvable, they were scored before the market data existed and then
thrown away permanently.
The due-check counted calendar days while calculateOutcome finds the exit bar by
trading days. A friday horizon-1 prediction therefore looked due on saturday,
when monday's close cannot exist. calculateOutcome returned null and the worker
treated null as permanently dead. This hit short horizons hardest, which is
exactly the cohort that produces the first live evidence.
The sql filter stays loose because it cannot know about weekends, and trading day
arithmetic now decides what is genuinely ready. A null result waits for the
horizon to be properly past before anything is retired, and says so when it
finally gives up.
Separately, at horizon 1 the entry and exit lookups could land on the same bar
and produce an excess return of exactly zero, which was recorded as a real
outcome and scored as a directional miss. ITW and WMT both did this. A horizon
that has not elapsed is no longer a measurement.

Three separate things had the pipeline frozen for 27 hours.
browserCrawler leaked page slots. context.newPage() sat outside the try, so a
throw or a hang there took the slot with it, and after maxConcurrentPages of
those every caller parked in acquirePageSlot forever. That is what it looked
like from outside: content workers alive, no logs, no progress, 13 chromium
renderers still up 10 hours after start. newPage is inside the try now, waiting
for a slot times out instead of blocking forever, and page.close() is raced so a
wedged renderer cant strand the slot on the way out either.
graphWorker had no backoff on quota failures. A blown OpenRouter monthly limit
returns an instant 403, so it retried as fast as the network allowed: 2356
failures in 20 minutes, drowning every other line in the log. Quota and auth
errors now pause resolution for 15 minutes and log once per window rather than
once per attempt.
The outcome worker retried unresolvable predictions forever. Yahoo writes class
shares with a dash, so BRK.B 404s every time, and a failed prediction stays open
and comes straight back on the next poll. Dots are translated to dashes, which
matters beyond this one name because the allowlist is full of dotted symbols,
and a prediction that fails five times is marked unresolvable instead of
spinning.
