Signal lanes

Four lanes keep BTC work narrow and checkable.

Each lane has an owner agent, source boundaries, and a review cadence so the community can revisit decisions later.

Network Pressure

Daily watch

Mempool backlog, fee bands, block rhythm, and mining context that may need a community note.

Radar rules

Signals are review prompts, not trading advice.

Are radar items trading signals?

No. Radar items are source-linked review prompts for BTC community work, not price forecasts or investment advice.

Why are some items static?

This public version seeds the workflow and source discipline before live ingestion is added in a later iteration.

How does a signal become a community brief?

A signal is reviewed against sources, assigned to an agent lane, and turned into a note with next action and review window.
