Root cause: PRICE_STABILITY_INTERVAL (300s) was too long relative to
MIN_RECENTER_INTERVAL (60s). After any significant trade moving the tick
>1000 positions, the 5-minute TWAP lagged behind the current price by
hundreds of ticks, exceeding MAX_TICK_DEVIATION (50). Recenter reverted
with "price deviated from oracle" for ~285s — creating a window where
the LM could not reposition and adversary parasitic LP could extract
value from passive holders.
Fix: Reduce PRICE_STABILITY_INTERVAL from 300s to 30s. This ensures
TWAP converges within the 60s cooldown while still preventing same-block
manipulation (30s > ~12s Ethereum mainnet block time).
