Proof: npm test passed 184/184; npm run operator-dashboard:build; focused route tests cover BTC/USDC route seeding, inventory tracking, Kraken/CoinGecko parsing, route-specific price selection, fresh BTC/USDC strategy approval, stale route blocking, and missing USDC reference fields.
Assumptions: BTC/USDC uses Kraken XBTUSDC as primary reference and CoinGecko bitcoin/USD as fallback with USDC ~= USD; operator-enabled maker pairs may mark their assets inventory-tracked, but imported assets remain non-trading by default.
Still fake: BTC/USDC taker request creation is not generalized; USDC/USD parity is an explicit assumption; solver liquidity and fee-complete PnL are not proven by this route.
