# Filtering / polling
# MIN_RELEVANCE=7              # 1–10 (default 7)

# EXCLUDE_CATEGORIES=crypto    # drop these categories (optional)

# Four tickers at 300s cost ~1,152 requests/day before retries.
# Free (100/day): use POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS=3600 (~96/day), fewer tickers,
# or a slower schedule; other calls and retries share the daily budget.
# PER_TICKER_LIMIT supports 1-20 on every tier.
# Dry runs use STATE_FILE + .dry-run; keep that file separate from delivery state.
