Proof: quote-to-relay maker timing now propagates through ingest, normalized quotes, strategy decisions, commands, executor results, quote outcomes, lifecycle rows, dashboard summaries, and runtime alerts; relay failures preserve original text while classifying quote_not_found_or_finished; targeted tests, full npm test, and operator dashboard build passed before commit.
Assumptions: response-age policy stays disabled by default and is only activated through DB-backed pair strategy config after operators review timing evidence; unrelated pre-existing dirty worktree files were left unstaged.
Still fake: relay acceptance is not settlement or realized PnL; live policy thresholds still require post-deploy evidence before enabling skips for production pairs.
