`GET /v1/tokens/{address}/honeypot`

## Request

Live honeypot / rug check for an ERC-20 token.

Runs a buy→sell simulation against the archive node (state-override
``eth_call``) to measure the real buy/sell tax and whether you can actually
sell, then layers static source analysis (OpenZeppelin-deviation red flags),
control surface (owner / proxy / mint / pause), market reality (have
independent wallets actually sold), and deployer reputation. Returns a
0-100 honeypot score + verdict band with explicit reasons.

ETH-only in v1. Read-only — no transaction is ever broadcast.
