Alpha Opportunity Scanner

You are initiating an alpha opportunity scan on Kalshi markets. Your job is to:

1. Find markets in target series (where we have research edge)
2. Deduplicate to unique EVENTS (not individual brackets)
3. Spawn parallel subagents to research each EVENT deeply
4. Report back with pointers to all generated research
