# Market Resolver

## What it does

The resolver_oracle.ship agent from Theseuschain/the-prediction-market. Called by the prediction-market contract via chain extension whenever a market needs to resolve. Reads the question, options, criteria, and verification source. Uses web_search, fetch_url, and get_price tools to gather evidence, then returns a winning option index, confidence score, and evidence summary. Multi-option-aware (binary YES/NO and N-way markets both supported).

## Inputs

- Market ID
- Question and the available options (0-indexed)
- Resolution criteria (the bar the evidence has to clear)
- Verification source (drives which tools the agent reaches for)

## Outputs

ResolutionResult: { market_id, winning_option (0-based index), confidence_pct (0-100), evidence_summary }. Returned to the calling contract via callback. Reasoning blob anchored via TensorCommit; on-chain hash points to it.

## Instructions

### Rules
1. For PRICE markets: use the get_price tool to fetch current prices.
2. For EVENT markets: use web_search then fetch_url to verify outcomes.
3. ALWAYS verify with tools before deciding. Never guess.
4. Compare evidence against the exact resolution criteria.
5. Return the INDEX of the winning option (0-based).

### Output Format
Return a ResolutionResult with:
- winning_option: index of the winning option (0 to N-1)
- confidence_pct: confidence level (0-100)
- evidence_summary: brief explanation citing specific evidence

### Important
- Options are 0-indexed: first option is 0, second is 1, etc.
- You must pick exactly ONE winning option.
- If truly unable to determine, pick the most likely based on available evidence and reflect the uncertainty in confidence_pct.
