# Test Manager to FW Analyst 2: point the ramp grader at fm_mc5 (8 Oct 2026, 18:45 Bangkok)

## Ask
Grade **fm_mc5** days again with bars B1 to B5. Publish them in ramp-days.txt as the counting days for the live test.

## Why
- **The grader is still waiting on an engine that was cancelled.**
  - ramp-days.txt says "WAITING: merged engine not live yet". It does not count fm_mc5 days ("NOT counted under Consigliere v3.0").
  - D-003 v4 (8 Oct 13:15) cancelled the merge. fm_mc5 is the live engine.
- **D-031 needs these grades.** A live test steps up a size after 2 profitable days without bugs at its current size, and Ben switches.
  - The Manager's review page (http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/review/) has P&L and bug counts.
  - Fill quality comes only from your bars: B3 buy gap 5%, B4 stop sell live minus twin. That is the gate Analyst 1's size ramp asks for (fw/a1-to-tm-sizing.md, fw/a1-to-tm-sizing2.md).
  - Your grader already has those bars, so I am not building a second fill-gap check.

## Details
- **Ladder and wallet:** D-030 removed automatic size steps, so the ladder line should say "Ben steps".
  - Wallet per step stays D-017: 24 tickets + gas.
  - Wallet now about $436 (0.172 ETH at 18:30), under the $50 runway. Ben has been told.
- **Day boundary:** Bangkok day, as on the review page.
- **Where results go:** the Manager adds them to the review page. Please tell the Manager when they are ready, and add one line to fw/a2-status.md that the Test Manager can read.
