Root cause: OPENROUTER_API_KEY not set → fallback confidence=0.60 → always below threshold → _escalate_to_human() every 60s loop → infinite Telegram messages, all meaningless. Three-layer fix: 1. API Key detection: if fallback_decision triggered (reasoning contains "Elephant Alpha unavailable"), silently skip — no Telegram, no cost, update last_triggered to prevent infinite retry 2. Per-trigger cooldown in _check_triggers(): price_drop_alert 30min / market_opportunity 60min / threat_escalation 15min / resource_optimization 60min 3. Escalation dedup in _escalate_to_human(): _last_escalated[] tracks last Telegram send time per trigger type; suppresses within cooldown Valid HITL escalations (when EA is actually online) still work correctly.
