 ## In Flight
 - [in_progress] anti-silence workflow hardening — main — workflow rules hardened again after finding a completion-consumption bug: runtime worker results can reach Tao before main updates state and summarizes them; ACP smoke-test heartbeat is now paused because repeated blocked/no-change updates became noise
-- [in_progress] Geopolitical Turbulance Trapper planning — main — project scope has been re-anchored using Tao's restored chats + old Claude draft; Development Plan v1 and project skeleton are created, next step is HK-first data/verification layer
+- [in_progress] Geopolitical Turbulance Trapper planning — main — project scope has been re-anchored using Tao's restored chats + old Claude draft; project moved out of OpenClaw workspace to `~/Projects/geopolitical-turbulance-trapper`, next step is HK-first data/verification layer in the external project repo
 
 ## Blocked / Waiting
 - [blocked] ACP + Codex smoke test — main — 15:01 watchdog timeout re-check: tracked ACP Codex session still has no messages/history or visible artifact trace at all, so status remains blocked / no change and should be treated as an ACP launch/config-path blocker, not in-progress execution

-# Geopolitical Turbulance Trapper
-
-Small-scale event-driven trading intelligence and derivatives decision-support system.
-
-## Current focus
-- HK-first MVP
-- dashboard-first output
-- verified derivatives metadata before recommendation
-- liquidity / execution risk as first-class signals
-
-## Planned modules
-- `docs/` — brief, roadmap, decisions
-- `schemas/` — target / derivative / alert / risk schemas
-- `src/events/` — event tagging and severity logic
-- `src/regime/` — market regime classification
-- `src/instruments/` — derivative metadata verification and suitability logic
-- `src/risk/` — liquidity / execution / gap / KO risk logic
-- `src/signals/` — actionable strategy outputs
-- `src/dashboard/` — UI layer
-
-## Status
-Early project skeleton created from Development Plan v1 on 2026-03-09.

-# Derivatives Verification Workflow
-
-Before any derivative is elevated from candidate to recommendation:
-
-1. Verify underlying-symbol mapping.
-2. Verify instrument type (CBBC, warrant, option, LEAP).
-3. Verify call/barrier/strike/expiry/ratio from a trusted source.
-4. Record issuer / venue.
-5. Record bid, ask, spread, volume, turnover, and outstanding when available.
-6. Mark verification status:
-   - `unverified`
-   - `partial`
-   - `verified`
-7. Do not present `unverified` products as high-confidence trade suggestions.
-
-## Extra checks for HK CBBC / warrants
-- KO/call buffer vs current underlying price
-- liquidity deterioration risk near barrier
-- outstanding concentration risk
-- likely spread behavior under fast markets
-
-## Extra checks for US options / LEAPS
-- IV level and term structure
-- theta decay
-- option volume / OI
-- earnings event proximity

-# Project Brief
-
-## Goal
-Track geopolitical, macro, commodity, earnings, and market information across HK / US / AU focus markets and convert them into actionable derivatives trading support.
-
-## MVP
-HK-first:
-- HSI
-- HSTECH
-- Tencent
-- Alibaba
-- Xiaomi
-
-## Key outputs
-- market regime
-- derivative candidates
-- buy zone / danger zone / reduce zone
-- liquidity and execution risk review
-- dashboard alerts
-
-## Hard rules
-- facts before opinions
-- verify product metadata before recommendation
-- support bear as well as bull workflows
-- treat liquidity / outstanding / spread risk as first-class
-- AI explains; AI does not act as the facts source
