Semantic Polarity: YES = Becerra gains concrete advantages (strong polls, marquee endorsements, standout debate reviews, rivals stumble); NO = rivals consolidate/lead, Becerra underperforms. Trend is UP, pricing in YES-World. Momentum check: E=0, D=0, L=0 (R=0 unverified). Incremental only: E=0, D=0 (priced-in: E=0, D=0). Self-check: no change.
Theta direction: NEUTRAL
Price move direction: UP (from 34% to 45%)
Alignment: N/A
Theta: NEUTRAL — no deadline
Logical Divergence: Yes — price rose without supportive E signals; Strong Divergence: No. No ★ DIRECT developments for Becerra; all listed items are about Tom Steyer (endorsement context, debate previews, human‑interest) or generic debate logistics — process/context that neither meet settlement criteria nor directly improve Becerra’s win odds (if anything, Steyer momentum would be D against a Becerra spike). A 10.7pp spike on process-only/indirect news with a swift 5.6pp retrace suggests emotional overshoot; the move was not justified and should mean-revert.

Kill switches:
- Credible statewide poll (released now) shows Becerra clearly leading the primary and projected general (e.g., double‑digit lead over nearest rival)
- High-profile endorsement for Becerra from a top California Democrat (e.g., sitting governor/senators) with coordinated rollout
- Post-debate coverage consensus declares Becerra the clear winner with measurable fundraising/search surge reported
- Major scandal or withdrawal hits a leading rival, explicitly boosting Becerra’s path to victory
- Official party convention or delegate process outcome signaling unified Democratic backing for Becerra

✕ low_liquidity_efficiency: spread=1.7pp is > 50% of expected net profit (even at f=1.0)

the deterministic planner rejected this trade. typical causes: poor R:R, spread exceeds gap, settlement danger zone, market too close to resolution. LLM assessment is above (Stage 6); planner is a pure-math gate layered on top.
