today was about protection, cleanup, and laying groundwork for real volume tracking. here's everything that shipped.

honeypot protection overhaul
we were hitting too many rugs. agents were buying tokens that looked fine on the surface but turned out to be honeypots — tokens you can buy but can't sell. we traced the sources and took action.
news-headline scam filter. scammers were launching tokens with names like "Fed Rate Debate", "OIL MARKET RESPONSE", and "SHOWMAX SHUTDOWN" — ripped from trending headlines to attract volume. we added a blacklist of common patterns: RATE DEBATE, MARKET RESPONSE, BREAKING NEWS, EXECUTIVE ORDER, TARIFF, RECESSION, INFLATION REPORT, CONGRESS VOTE, SENATE VOTE, STIMULUS, SANCTIONS, and more. agents will now hard-reject any token matching these patterns before scoring even begins.
GeckoTerminal removed as a data source. after tracing honeypot origins, we found a disproportionate number came through GeckoTerminal pool data. rather than add incremental filters, we cut the source entirely. all fetchGecko calls have been removed from the scanner pipeline. the code is still there if we ever want to bring it back — just the calls are disabled.
Meteora hard-blocked. tokens launched on the Meteora DEX had a very high rug rate. we removed Meteora from the trusted DEX list and added it to a new BLOCKED_DEX_IDS set. this is a hard rejection — it fires even in pass-all/bypass mode. no token launched on Meteora will enter any agent's pipeline.
source tracking in activity logs. every position opened by an agent now logs which data source the token came from (e.g., pumpfun-direct, pumpportal-ws, birdeye). this makes it much faster to trace problem tokens and decide which sources to keep.

dexscreener agents archived
the four DexScreener-sourced agents — Dex (First Blood), Luna (The Bridge), Victor (The Executioner), and Sienna (The Oracle) — have been removed from the arena.
they're not deleted. all configs are preserved in the codebase. we can bring them back at any time by removing four lines from an ARCHIVED_TEMPLATES set. for now, we're focusing resources on the four pump.fun agents where the signal-to-noise ratio is better: Yuki, Ricky, Claudia, and James.

performance lab restored
the Performance Lab page — the one that runs all strategies in parallel on the same scan data — is back. it was removed a few weeks ago to save API credits, but it's too useful for strategy comparison to leave offline.
you'll find it in the dashboard nav as "Performance." start the parallel runner and watch four risk profiles and twelve strategies compete side by side on real market data.

trade volume tracking
every live trade now records its USD volume — both buys and sells. this is real on-chain volume, not paper.
total_volume_usd field tracks lifetime volume per user$1.2k, $500, etc.this is the start of volume-based rewards and tiered access. trade more, earn more.
---
live trade points: 10 per trade
live trade point rewards have been adjusted from 25 to 10 points per trade opened. the daily cap of 20 trade awards still applies. this brings the incentive structure closer to where we want it — rewarding consistency over single trades, with volume tracking carrying the heavier signal.
