An agent must check `closed` (not\n  `active`) and parse `closedTime` with a tolerant parser, not a strict ISO-8601 one.\n- **Kalshi**: `GET /markets?status=settled` is accepted (HTTP 200) and `status=finalized` is\n  rejected (HTTP 400, \"invalid status filter\") as a *request* value — yet every market that\n  `status=settled` returns has a *response*-side `status` field whose value is literally\n  `\"finalized\"`. The request vocabulary and the response vocabulary for the same state use\n  different words, and the word valid in one direction is invalid in the other.\n\n## One-line guards\n- Polymarket: branch on `closed`, never on `active`, to detect resolution; parse `closedTime`\n  loosely (space or `T` separator, 2- or 4-digit UTC offset).\n- Kalshi: when filtering, send `status=settled`; when reading, compare against\n  `status == \"finalized\"`.
