# v4tape #2363: A1 touch extension (14 Oct 2026)
v4tape.py (backup .bak-2363, restarted 20:46 UTC, resumed from hb, no gap).
- A1 native/weth pools are now watched up to init+8h (price only, no extra rows). When token price reaches 6x its init price (seed ~25k cap -> ~150k; ratio of sqrtP^2, independent of ETH price), the pool is taped (swaps.jsonl + liq.jsonl) until touch + 3 h.
- Touch inside the normal 25-min window: no gap. Touch after the window: swaps between window end and touch are NOT written (gap); rows resume at the touching swap. Detect by time gap in swaps.jsonl.
- Restart: load_active re-derives the touch from swaps.jsonl (147 of 858 A1 pools already touched 6x in-window).
- Approximation: threshold is 6x init price, not an exact 150k USD (cap_first 24-26k -> 144-156k).
- Forward only; no backfill of pools that already ended.
