+ * Set optimal value for Lightning BTC liquidity management rule 133.
+ *
+ * Rule 133 had optimal = NULL, causing the system to always withdraw exactly
+ * the deficit amount. This leads to micro-withdrawals that fall below exchange
+ * minimums (e.g. Binance minimum of 0.00002 BTC), triggering repeated
+ * pause/reactivate cycles without resolving the liquidity deficit.
+ *
+ * Setting optimal to 0.00001 adds a small buffer to prevent these cycles.
+ *
