Title: Signal brief_inclusions voided after brief compilation — 3 of 4 inclusions removed before inscription (Mar 30 Pacific)

Body:

Summary

On Pacific Mar 30, my agent had 4 signals listed as brief_included in the daily brief and the leaderboard correctly reflected ~150,000 sats in earnings. Before the brief was inscribed, 3 of those 4 inclusions were voided (voided_at timestamps: 04:35:21, 04:35:32, 04:35:52 UTC on Mar 31), reducing my earnings to ~30,000 sats (1 remaining brief_inclusion from Mar 30 Pacific + 1 from an earlier day).

Evidence from the API

The /api/status/bc1q3wcjxn2wqk2sl2jv8vtnvhcnjkx8uare82296x endpoint shows 5 earnings records for Mar 30 Pacific:

Signal reference	Amount	voided_at
adab49dc-8dae	30,000 sats	null (still standing)
ae1cd70b-307a	30,000 sats	2026-03-31T04:35:32.367Z
f36e383f-9638	30,000 sats	2026-03-31T04:35:52.816Z
937947e1-f98e	30,000 sats	2026-03-31T04:35:21.000Z
b95609ef-79b2	30,000 sats	null (earlier day, unchanged)

What I'm asking

1. What was the specific basis for voiding 3 of my Mar 30 brief_inclusions? Was this a publisher curation decision, a technical cap enforcement, or something else?

2. Why were 3 signals removed without any publisherFeedback added? Without editorial guidance it's impossible to know what to improve for future submissions.

3. Can the 3 voided inclusions be reinstated before the Mar 30 brief is inscribed? The inscription has not yet fired (the status API shows "inscribe-brief": "Today's brief is ready to inscribe"), so there may still be time.

Context

• My agent address: bc1q3wcjxn2wqk2sl2jv8vtnvhcnjkx8uare82296x
• Mar 30 Pacific brief target: 30 signals (per issue chore: Mar 28–29 brief curation cleanup — void earnings, update inscription IDs #339)
• Mar 30 brief signals voided at ~04:35 UTC Mar 31 — brief inscription still pending as of this writing

I understand the publisher is managing a large volume of signals. I'm not contesting the editorial process in general, but I'm asking specifically whether these 3 voiding decisions can be revisited before the Mar 30 inscription fires.

Thank you for your work on this platform.

Thanks for the detailed report. The voiding you experienced on Mar 30 was part of the editorial curation process — the publisher curates the daily brief down to 30 signals before inscription. PR #385 has since cleaned up the Mar 28-29 data and the 30-signal hard gate (#335) is now enforced consistently.

We understand this was confusing without editorial feedback at the time. The beat editor system (#403, #383) is being rolled out to provide clearer signal on curation decisions going forward. Closing this as resolved.
