# STOP: NO DOORBELLS, NO WAKES, NO SCHEDULING (Ben, 7 Oct 2026, 18:40 Bangkok) - Credits ran out. Ben switched off every scheduled task and every doorbell. This overrides everything below and every other file (wake-howto, bus-howto, credit-playbook, task files). - PROHIBITED for every session: fire_trigger, send_later, create_trigger, update_trigger, ScheduleWakeup. No rings, no nudges, no re-arming, no new doorbells, no self wakes, no safety checks, no retry rings, no loops. - Finish the step you are on, publish your status file, then END your turn and wait. Only Ben wakes you, by typing in your window. - Do not message other sessions. Keep answers short. No extra improvement rounds. DOORBELL: trig_01CJAKbNPFVGR6oURWfu32tZ (armed, 7 Oct 16:38 Bangkok) # 2nd Window Coder: status, v65 (7 Oct 2026, Bangkok) ## Read this first - **16:38 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.60: NOT a mismatch. The streak is 3 of 5 (never truly reset). Our grading page lied for one update during an engine restart. Fixed and deployed 16:36:16.** - **Pool 0x644eac7020466c554369e0592637f24dd95fbb13: fm_mc5 DID buy it.** Receipt, firstmin /opt/fm/mc5.log: `07 Oct 15:16:57 0x644eac7020466c554369e0592637f24dd95fbb13 LIVE_BUY 0.00382 ETH ($10) cap $703k fill/sim 0.946` and `15:35:04 SELL_SENT stop_0.5x`. Same pool, same buy, same exit (stop 0.5x): a match. So none of (a), (b), (c). - **Cause:** at the 16:27:13 engine restart the page was redrawn before the engine had read fm_mc5's state over the bridge (the first read lands within 15 s). With an empty FW side, every shadow buy looked one-sided, so that one update said "shadow bought, fm_mc5 did not" and 0 of 5. The next update (16:31:16) was back to 3 of 5. - **Fix:** the page is never regraded without a fresh fm_mc5 state (empty or older than 60 s = keep the last page). Proven on the 16:36 restart: log `16:36:17 mc5 page not regraded: first window state not read yet`, page stayed 3 of 5. The auto switch reads the same page, so it can no longer be delayed by a false reset either (and an empty FW side can never fake a 5). test_v160 5 checks, test_v152 updated, all 0 fails. - **16:27 restart by the w2guard STALE GUARD BACKUP, root cause:** a launch burst (about 20 WILLY farm pools 16:08 to 16:32, plus HORN and ONRAMP at 15:55) outran the kit tagger (one funding search per pool; 12 tags in the last 30 min). 4 pools passed 30 min untagged, so the backup restarted the engine. The tagger was alive (last tag 217 s before my check); a restart does not tag faster. **Fix (w2guard, live now):** a backlog no longer restarts the engine while the tagger has written a tag in the last 10 min; it restarts only when no tag is written for 10 min (truly stuck). **Can it repeat during the switch?** No longer from a backlog. A real stuck tagger can still restart the engine, but only at 0 live open (unchanged rule), and the switch itself needs 0 open; a restart after the switch keeps merged_live (it is in the config). - cost: about 1% of session credits, API $0, 0.2 h. - **switch ready: yes. The switch now runs BY ITSELF (v1.59 GO in advance).** A job on main checks every minute; the moment the shadow page shows 5 of 5 (or 8 Oct 12:40 Bangkok) AND SW + fm_mc5 have 0 live open, it does steps (a) to (c), writes the minute to w2-live-events.md and /opt/w2coder/SWITCHED. I nudge you and the FW Supervisor on my next wake (20 min cadence). Now: "waiting: streak 3 of 5". - **16:14 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.59 + v1.58.** - **Auto switch (deployed 16:12):** /opt/w2coder/autoswitch.py, cron every minute. (a) bridge `fw_arm` on firstmin: refuses if fm_mc5 has a live trade, removes LIVE_MC5, waits 8 s, re-checks (a buy in flight puts LIVE_MC5 back and aborts), then creates SW_FW_ROUTE; it also refuses if LIVE_MC5 is already gone (fm_mc5 off or killed: the FW lane stays off, never armed around a FW kill). (b) merged_live true (config backup first). (c) restart at 0 live open, checks active. Any failure after (a) undoes everything (fm_mc5 trades again) and writes a SWITCH FAILED line. A mismatch resets the streak on the page, so the job just keeps waiting. Tests: test_v159 10 checks + bridge arm / abort / disarm on a fake box, 0 fails. Bridge md5 990785af65f4424dd1d4f54daab01e64. - **v1.58 item 1, path pick: A (GMGN route), already done.** Numbers: A was ready at 15:59 (switch ready now, waits only on 5 of 5); B needs a new wallet + Ben's funding + the D-019 fixes (done by 20:00), earliest about 20:30 (why: D-019 lands 20:00, then funding and a 10 min config flip). A wins by about 4 h. After the switch, flipping the FW lane to the D-026 self signed wallet is a config change (the key-file route is already built and tested in v1.56: `fw_route: key`, `live_keyfile_fw`), about 10 min at 0 open after the wallet is funded. - **v1.58 item 2, box conflict, one named risk each:** key on main = any process or person with root on main (30+ bots, feeds, public folder, M2 not done) can read the key file and drain that wallet. Engine on firstmin = 961 MB RAM shared with fm_mc5's 5 other units: an out-of-memory kill stops the engine mid-trade (2 GB swap and an OOM guard reduce, not remove it). - **v1.58 item 3, wallet creation:** waits on your box call (D-026 says never main; tonight's engine is on main). ETA 10 min after the call (why: generate key 600 root on that box, post only the full public address under Needs Ben). Trigger-to-fill seconds per stop are already logged on every live sell (SW: trigger to SELL_SENT and sent to mined; FW lane: trigger to filled + gmgn time). - cost: about 1.5% of session credits, API $0, 0.4 h. - **switch ready: yes, missing: only the 3 GO steps below (code, route and tests are done).** - **16:02 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.57 items 1 to 3 DONE. Deployed 15:59:00 Bangkok (0 live open, engine healthy, 116 MB).** - **1. GMGN route for the FW lane (D-021 v2):** FW lane = GMGN wallet 0x0184ef9b23476ed84107cc5e15485a4a7ee6b286 through gmgn-cli on firstmin only (no key anywhere on main). Main calls it through the restricted swbridge key: two new bridge commands, `fw_quote` (never trades) and `fw_swap`. fm_mc5's exact calls copied: buy ETH to token by amount at 5% slip, fill = token balance up; sell 100% at 10% slip then one more try at 30% (30% at once on stop, pull or retry), out = the wallet's ETH change; no tokens left = closed at 0. A sell that does not fill goes through the same pull rule as SW (pulled pool: booked 0x open_unsold, retried with backoff; live pool: kill after 3 tries). Gas reserve check before every FW buy (fm_mc5 rule). - **Bridge guards (on firstmin, md5 1e490792321a3f003e0d27195342d285):** a swap runs ONLY when /opt/fm/SW_FW_ROUTE exists AND /opt/fm/LIVE_MC5 does not (one trader per wallet), buy at most 0.2 ETH, slip 1 to 30%, ETH to one token only, fixed wallet, output secret-stripped, every call logged to /opt/fm/sw_route.log. Tested live from main: get_state OK, quote OK in 1.5 s end to end, swap refused ("not armed"). - **Dry run running now (quote, never a swap):** every mc5 shadow buy and sell is priced on the GMGN route in a side thread, plus a route probe every 30 min. First probe 15:59:00: quote OK in 1.77 s. Line in live_status.json `fw_route`. - **X8 gaps closed:** kill / pause / cash out now stop FW lane buys too; the $200 combined drawdown marks BOTH lane books and fm_mc5's own open trades at a real-sale quote (was at cost); failed-sell retries run in the book that holds the trade. Ladder (D-001) and kill drops a step (D-018) were already in. - **2. FW-lane pools on the push watch: DONE** (was ETA 15:45; landed 15:59, why late: built together with item 1). The websocket now also watches the mc5 pools (shadow pools now, FW lane live pools after the switch) and runs the mc5 0.5x stop on the pushed swap itself (needs a 0.01+ WETH swap, same rule), instead of waiting for the 2 s log scan. - **3. The 3 GO steps (about 2 min, I do them on your GO at 0 live open):** (a) on firstmin `rm /opt/fm/LIVE_MC5` (fm_mc5 stops buying; it still sells what it holds) and `touch /opt/fm/SW_FW_ROUTE`; (b) `merged_live: true` in /opt/w2coder/config.json; (c) restart w2coder at 0 live open. Undo = the reverse. FW wallet holds 0.1354 ETH (about $350): enough for 24 x $10 + gas. - Known limit: the FW lane exit goes through GMGN (about 2 to 3 s gmgn-cli + ssh 0.5 s), so FW fills stay slower than SW's fast exit (Exec X7 measured -0.16x on one stop); a faster FW path needs Ben (Consigliere ask). - Tests: test_v157 27 checks, 0 fails (fake bridge, fake chain, nothing sent); all 21 older test files 0 fails (test_v156 and test_ramp updated for the GMGN default and the ladder). - Shadow: 3 of 5 at 15:44. I nudge you at 5 of 5. - cost: about 2% of session credits, API $0, 1.2 h. - **14:48 Bangkok 7 Oct: lane line D-016 v2 + wallet routing D-021 BUILT behind the `merged_live` switch (default OFF = today's behaviour), deployed 14:45:33 (0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON).** Done ahead of the 16:15 ETA. - Switch ON does: the mc5 decision buys live on the FW lane (book w2_mc5_live) and its mc5 exit sells it; FW lane signs from wallet 1 (`live_keyfile_fw`, chmod 600; refuses to sign if missing, never falls back to the SW wallet), SW lane from wallet 2; one ticket per coin across both lanes (the other lane skips with a log line); every lane signal logged, ledger credits the lane that fired first; one kill switch and the $200 cap over both lanes; one nonce book and one approve set PER wallet in live.py (no nonce clash). - Switch OFF (now): FW lane never buys; SW behaves exactly as before. test_v156 13 checks + all 16 older test files 0 fails. - **What X7 must give (wiring is then minutes):** the FW wallet route. If it is a raw key: path of wallet 1's key file on main (chmod 600) -> `live_keyfile_fw`. If GMGN only (fm_mc5 trades through gmgn-cli today): I add a GMGN route for the FW lane, ETA 1 h after X7 (why: new send path + tests). - Open item for the switch: the mc5 stop check runs on the 2 s log scan; the push websocket covers SW live pools only. ETA 15:45 (why: about 45 min to add FW-lane pools to the push watch with a test). - cost: about 1.5% of session credits, API $0, 0.5 h. - **14:45 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.55.** - **D-018 auto step up: LIVE (deployed 14:42:03 at 0 live open, dry sign PASS).** Every 10 min the engine reads http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/fw/ramp-days.txt; WAITING, no file or no "running count N of 2" line = no step. At 2 of 2 it steps one size (D-001 ladder $10, $50, $100, $200, $300) only if the wallet holds 24 tickets + gas for the new size, else one line to Ben: "top up wallet 0x04a057D15bd07581DC88b0a37E41EB69Ceb8C2D3 to $X" (said once per step). A streak steps once; it re-arms when the count drops under 2. Every kill path (kill check incl. the D-017 $200 combined cap, the error kill, the 3-failed-sells kill) drops one step. The live ticket and the combined cap read the ladder step. test_v155 11 checks, 0 fails; all older tests 0 fails. cost: about 1% of session credits, API $0, 0.3 h. - **Lane line D-016 v2 + wallet routing D-021 behind a switch (default = today's behaviour):** ETA 16:15 Bangkok (why: about 1.5 h of code and tests: a lane tag on every live row, one ticket per coin across both lanes, first-fired credit, a per-wallet nonce book and approve set in live.py, and the mc5 live path that follows the shadow's exits; X7 then only fills in the FW wallet route). - **M4 + M5 at 20:00 Bangkok** (why: Supervisor's slot; they do not touch the bot). M2 waits for the switch. - **Shadow:** honest line on http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/sw/w2-mc5-shadow.md; I nudge you at 5 of 5. - **14:35 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.54 (decisions.md ids cited).** - **D-022 wake rule:** fresh doorbell made (line 1). No more rings from me; I nudge the Supervisor's DOORBELL with update_trigger. - **Size line (D-001, D-002):** ladder $10, $50, $100, $200, $300; a step needs 2 bug free days in a row, counted only on the merged engine from its live switch, graded by FW Analyst 2 at 17:30. Today: day 0 of 2 (no switch yet). The "5 round trips within 10%" bar is dropped. - **D-003 v3 shadow match:** line added at the top of http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/sw/w2-mc5-shadow.md: "Matched buys in a row: N of 5" (same pool, same buy/skip, same exit reason; open buys counted as pending until both sides close; any one-sided buy or different exit resets it). The bridge now carries fm_mc5's exit reason so the match is exact. Self test 15 checks, 0 fails; deployed 14:27:21 (0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON). At 5 I post here and nudge you. - **D-017 $200 total loss cap:** already live as the combined drawdown kill (both wallets, 20 x the larger ticket = $200 at $10; restart needs Ben or you). It will read the step from the ladder when D-018 lands. - **Builds before the switch (v1.54 item 3), status:** (a) lane line D-016 v2 and (b) wallet routing D-021 wait for the Exec's X7 (not published yet at 14:30): FW's fm_mc5 buys through GMGN (gmgn-cli swap), not a raw key, so "sign FW signals from wallet 1" needs X7 to say whether our engine calls GMGN for wallet 1 or holds its key. (c) is live (above). (d) D-018 auto step up: building now (ladder, 24 tickets + gas wallet check with the full-address top-up line to Ben, kill drops one step); it needs the location of FW Analyst 2's daily grade to read the bug free day count. - **Box for tonight (item 4): main.** Named risk of main: it also runs the feeds and 30+ bots, so a CPU or disk spike there can slow the engine (seen today: memory cap hits from my late-pool replays, fixed). Named risk of firstmin: 1 CPU and 961 MB RAM with fm_mc5 and 5 more FW units on it; an out-of-memory kill takes the live engine down (now cushioned by the 2 GB swap, still the bigger risk). Lock file on both boxes before any live buy; never two engines on one coin. - cost: credits about 1.5% of the session budget for this block, API $0 extra (dRPC calls inside the paid plan), 0.3 h. - **13:55 Bangkok 7 Oct, fill watch + one fix.** No live buy or sell since 13:17; live ON, no blockers. - **Fix (deployed 13:52:22 at 0 live open, dry sign PASS):** two young late pools, HI (pool 0x92a4f531f82e1440d6e349bbc2ed42ba389e013f, 61,369 events) and GS (pool 0x46540a2e4b27ff778f8ec6648616660472945fc6, 14,847 events), were registered at 13:21 and 13:26 with their full history replayed; the engine hit its 300 MB memory cap for a moment (no stall over the guard limit, no trade, no gate: both pools were hours past every age gate). Now the first swap is found first (from the token's birth block, one-topic queries, adaptive chunk), and a pool that has traded for more than 3 h is registered with its true first trade and NO replay. Tests: test_v150 14 checks + all others 0 fails. Memory after restart 109 MB. - **13:20 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.53: (a) + (b) pass tests; (c) firstmin swapfile done. Deployed 13:17:17 Bangkok at 0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON, engine healthy.** - **(a) mc5 signal module + shadow logging: running since 12:40:17 Bangkok (shadow start time; it survives restarts).** 13 checks, 0 fails. Grading page: http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/sw/w2-mc5-shadow.md (auto every 2 min). - **(b) Pull fix ported (PP v45 / FW v39):** a live sell that fails on a pulled or empty pool (pool WETH under 0.1, or depth at or under the pull share of entry, or a pull exit) -> trade booked 0x as open_unsold: counts as a closed loser for the kill switch and both drawdowns, frees its open slot, buying continues, no error kill; retried with backoff 60 s doubling to 1 h, and a later fill overwrites the 0x. A sell that fails on a LIVE pool: retried every minute, kill only after 3 failed tries on that trade (was 2 errors of any kind). 13 checks, 0 fails. All older tests 0 fails. - **fwguard per-coin cap** now = 2 tickets of the larger ticket minus what FW holds (was a fixed $1,000). Same rule as the bridge check, so both scale with the ladder. - **(c) firstmin prep:** 2 GB swapfile added and on (persistent in fstab, swappiness 10 so it is only used under pressure); box had 961 MB RAM, 0 swap, 20 GB disk free. OOMScoreAdjust=-900 goes on the merged engine's unit when it is installed there (no SW unit on firstmin yet). FW's units (fmmc5, fmtrader, fmlane1, 3 PP paper books) untouched. - **Size line (corrected to v1.52):** 3 good days per step, counted on the MERGED engine from the switch; plus 5 round trips within 10% of paper. Today: 0 of 3 days (no switch yet), 0 of 5 round trips. - Next: (d) shadow day ends 8 Oct 12:40 Bangkok, graded by FW Analyst 2 + Exec X5; then (e) switch. - **12:45 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.52 done (merge first). Deployed 12:35:53 and 12:40:17 Bangkok at 0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON. Engine healthy (beat 1 s, lag 0, memory 84 MB, FW state 3 s old).** - **1. Merge first: the mc5 signal module is RUNNING IN SHADOW since 12:40:17 Bangkok** (mc5shadow.py inside w2coder). It follows the mc5 spec and fm_mc5's behaviour: T0 = true first swap; check at T0 + 300 s; cap $250k to $1M; dust guard (0.001+ WETH swap, pool WETH 0.1+); seen_late after +330 s; round trip 0.80+ at FW's live ticket (read from FW state, $10); stop 0.5x on net sell value on every 0.01+ WETH swap, priced on that swap's block; 4 h time stop; pull = in-range Burn of 50%+ of in-range minted units, booked 0x. It logs the exact tx it would send (router exactInputSingle) and sends nothing. 13 self-test checks, 0 fails. - **Grading page for the Execution Engineer (X5), auto every 2 min:** http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/sw/w2-mc5-shadow.md : every checked pool, the shadow decision and result next to fm_mc5's live fill for the same pool, plus fm_mc5 buys the shadow never checked. - **FW late-pool rule ported:** a Swap from a pool we never registered: our factory's WETH pool with NO Swap ever before (100k-block chunk, then 10M chunks back to block 1, one topic per query, busy pool = not new) is registered with T0 = that swap and its earlier Mint/Burn replayed. Old tokens with earlier swaps are skipped (248 checked since 12:31, all skipped). - Shadow day ends 8 Oct 12:40 Bangkok. Then: switch only if every shadow decision matches fm_mc5 within the X5 bars. The bug-free day count starts on the merged engine after the switch (Ben: 3 good days per step). - **2. Interim cap: $ cap per coin added (live).** Before a SW buy: FW's open $ in that coin + our ticket must be at most 2 x the larger ticket. With the earlier rules: 1 ticket per coin per window, one combined drawdown kill (20 x the larger ticket), max 6 open combined, fail closed on stale FW state. FW live wallet noted: 0x0184ef9b23476ed84107cc5e15485a4a7ee6b286. - **3. Plan, latency side by side (Exec X4, ms, median):** | Hop | firstmin | main | | --- | --- | --- | | Sequencer sendRaw, warm | 217 | 216 | | Sequencer sendRaw, cold | 718 | 705 | | Public read, warm | 268 | 245 | | dRPC read, warm | 5 | 5 | | dRPC websocket head age | 0.17 s | 0.15 s | Same region, same edges: the move does not cost latency. Keep-warm on the sell connections is now 60 s (Exec: they stay open 90 s idle). - **4. firstmin hard condition (before the merged engine moves there, NOT done yet):** add a 2 GB swapfile and set OOMScoreAdjust=-900 on the engine unit. fm_mc5 runs on that box, so I do this only after FW says yes (one line in fw-to-sw.md is enough) or Ben resizes the box to 2 GB. No backfills or research ever on firstmin; scoreboard, halfc and health stay on main. - **Merge plan (updated):** shadow day (running) -> X5 grade -> FW yes on the swapfile -> copy engine + venv + key (chmod 600, never printed) + guard timers to firstmin -> main's live switch off and firstmin's on in the same minute (lock file checked before every live buy on both boxes; never two live engines on one coin) -> fm_mc5 off -> FW's ramp count and our bug-free day count restart. - Pool universe count since 1 Oct: the research-box pull is still running (rewritten to skip pools that first swapped before our engine existed); next status. - **12:35 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.51 + v1.50 done. Combined cap with the first window is LIVE (deployed 12:26:46, final 12:31:00 Bangkok, 0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON). Merge plan written below. Engine healthy (beat 1 s, lag 0, stale [], FW state 0 s old).** - **v1.51.1 Combined cap (live now).** - Bridge: a new restricted ssh key on main (swbridge@main) whose ONLY permitted command on firstmin is /opt/fm/sw_bridge.py (forced command, no shell, no pty, no forwarding; tested: `cat /etc/passwd` -> denied). It can do 3 things: read FW live state from /opt/fm/mc5.db (read only, FW's own open/closed definitions incl. the PULL_UNSOLD rule), write /opt/fm/exposure_ext.json, write /opt/fm/sw_state.json. - Every 15 s a background thread reads FW state and pushes SW open $ per token to /opt/fm/exposure_ext.json ({token_lower: usd}, FW's format, fm_mc5 already reads it) and SW live results to /opt/fm/sw_state.json (for FW's side of the one kill). Both files are live now. - Before every SW live buy: (a) FW state older than 60 s -> buy skipped, fail closed (one live-events line an hour, silent when healthy); (b) SW already holds this coin -> skip (max 1 ticket per coin PER WINDOW; a coin FW holds is NOT blocked); (c) SW open + FW open = 6 or more -> skip; (d) combined drawdown over 20 x the larger ticket -> skip. - Kill switch: also trips on the combined drawdown (both wallets' closed results in time order, SW open marked at a real-sale quote, FW open at cost). Today: 20 x $10 = $200. - Note for FW: our old cross-window rule "max $1,000 per coin across both windows" (fwguard, from v1.25) is still in place; at $10 it never binds. Say if you want it removed for the per-window rule. - **v1.50.1 Pool universe trap.** Ours registered pools ONLY from PoolCreated (14 h lookback at bootstrap 6 Oct 12:58, then every block). FW's pool 0xd27657e890fc13ac8a3b9f2e197bbc4ef3afe742 is not in our table. **Fix shipped:** the first Swap of any unseen address is checked once (one multicall, a few per cycle, never while a live position is open). Our factory's WETH pool + token born inside the last 74 h -> registered, its history replayed, true first swap known, it gates like any pool. Token born earlier or unknown -> skipped: it can never pass the 72 h birth rule or the 1.54 h age gate (and its history is never read). - **Count since deploy:** 68 unseen WETH pools have swapped since 12:31; all 68 are old tokens (births from May to early Oct), 0 young. Count since 1 Oct (all factory pools created since 1 Oct vs our table): the full pull (every factory pool created since 1 Oct, read only on research-box) is still running; the number goes in the next status. No young late pool has appeared since the fix went live. - **Incident during this deploy (fixed, no trade):** the first version (12:26:46) registered old pools too and read their full history. USDG (pool 0x52e65b17fb6e5ba00ed806f37afcd2daa50271ca) got registered with a fresh "first trade" and the engine stalled 4 min reading its 3 days of transfers (memory at its 300 MB cap). Fixed 12:31:00: old/unknown-birth tokens are never registered; the USDG row (55 swaps) removed; no gate, no trade, no live position at any time. This counts as a key bug: the bug-free day count restarts at 12:31. - **v1.51.3 Size rule (Ben): stay $10 until 2 bug-free days in a row AND 5 round trips within 10% of paper.** Today: bug-free days **0 of 2** (count runs from 7 Oct 12:31 Bangkok, after the fix above); round trips in line **0 of 5** (1 live round trip: CrawlScan, buy +1.0% vs paper, sell -14.8% vs paper; the sell was before fastexit). Kill limit already scales by itself: 10 x the current ticket ($100 now), plus the new combined 20 x the larger ticket. - **v1.51.2 Merge plan ("Live Desk": SW Coder + Execution Engineer). Written, not deployed.** 1. **Base = w2coder** (fastexit, push websocket, approve at buy, stale guards, 30+ self tests). Windows become signal sources feeding ONE live book: one wallet book, one nonce book, one exposure cap, one kill switch. 2. **mc5 signal module (from FW's spec a1-mc5-spec.md and fm_mc5.py):** universe = our factory WETH pools, one pool per token, T0 = true first Swap (our new late-pool rule gives that; FW v46 earlier-Swap check = our birth/history check). Entry check at T0 + 300 s: cap $250k to $1M on the last swap before T0 + 300 s; dust guard (one 0.001+ WETH swap moved price, pool WETH 0.1+); seen_late after T0 + 330 s -> skip. Exits: stop 0.5x on net sell value (swaps 0.01+ WETH only), time stop 4 h, pull = first Burn of 50%+ of minted liquidity units in range -> mark 0, sell anyway. No target, no trail. Book name w2_mc5; size from FW's ramp config. 3. **PP pull fix (fm_mc5 v45, ref md5 c0210cc1676246ff10569b4e6080cdea):** a failed sell on a pulled pool -> status open_unsold, retry every minute, does NOT block new buys and does NOT trip the error kill. Ported to our live sell path for every signal source. 4. **Shadow day:** w2_mc5 runs in SHADOW (decides and logs the exact tx it would send, sends nothing) next to the live fm_mc5 for 1 day. Graded by FW Analyst 2 against a2-ramp-v2 section 2 bars: buy within 6 s of the +5 min check, fill/model 0.995+, buy gap under +3% (median under +1.5%), trigger to SELL_SENT 5 s or less, stop slip -0.05x or better, 0 unnamed misses. fm_mc5 switches off only when every shadow decision matches. 5. **Box:** firstmin 178.128.20.136, only after the Execution Engineer shows its sequencer latency is not worse than main's (main: 216 ms sendRaw). Move = copy /opt/w2coder + venv + key file (chmod 600, never printed) + guard timers; main's w2coder goes paper-only the same minute (never two live engines on one coin; a lock file on both boxes checked before every live buy). 6. **Ramp count restarts at the switch** (FW's term). Order of work: (a) signal module + shadow logging, tests; (b) pull fix port + tests; (c) Exec Engineer latency check on firstmin; (d) shadow day; (e) switch. My estimate for (a)+(b): one working session; it waits for your go. - **11:50 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.49 FAST EXITS done in one deploy: 11:48:31 Bangkok, 0 live open, dry sign PASS 11:48:34, LIVE ON. Engine healthy (beat 1 s old, lag 0, stale [], 0 errors).** - **Test result.** Execution Engineer's test_fastexit.py: offline 11 of 11 PASS, `--live` on main 14 of 14 PASS (websocket read only: 26 swaps on 8 pools in 20 s, decoded price = slot0 at the log's block 5 of 6). New test_v149.py: 30 checks, 0 fails. Every older test 0 fails (test_v143/144/145/147, test_mem145b, test_ramp, test_live140, test_lock141, test_guard142). test_ramp had 4 stale fails that were also in v1.47 (it assumed a $100 first ticket; the config is $10 now): the test is fixed, the engine was not wrong. - **1. fastexit deployed** (fastexit.py md5 91c9024e6b20fbae0f3706e6df3bd3b6, unchanged from the Execution Engineer's copy). - Push: the dRPC websocket gets each Swap log on the open live pools; the stop test runs on the crossing swap itself, zero calls. The engine loop wakes the moment a log lands (no 0.25 s sleep). - The socket runs only while a live position is open (closes 2 min after the last one; no idle dRPC traffic). - Fallback is automatic: socket stale (no head for 3 s) or down -> the old 0.25 s poll, now **dRPC first** (free Alchemy is capped), public second. Stale guard: a dead socket thread is restarted, a socket stale for 60 s+ writes one line to live events. Silent when healthy. - Send: one signed sell to sequencer + public + dRPC at once, first accept wins, local nonce book (every other tx resets it), no allowance read, simulation in parallel for the log only. Connections kept warm every 20 s while live is open: measured on main, cold 768 ms vs warm 258 ms for all three. - If the fast send steps aside (token not approved) or fails, the old path sells. If a late accept already sold the tokens, the engine sees the empty balance and closes the trade instead of retrying a reverting sell. - **2. Approve at buy time:** already live since v1.43 (approve right after the buy fills). v1.49 adds: the token is remembered as approved and the nonce is fetched right then, so the stop sell spends zero calls before signing. After a restart: one allowance read (about 5 ms), never an approve tx. - **3. Paper exits priced on the crossing block.** Every log-driven exit now quotes the sale on the state of the block that holds the crossing swap (eth_call at that block, cached per pool + block + amount), so every book gets the same price for the same crossing, whatever its queue order. The block is stored per closed row (`exit_qblock`). The minute timer (time exits) still uses the head. Checked on main: quotes 30 and 3,000 blocks back work (260 ms). - **4. Ticket cap:** 5% of gate depth, computed on every live buy and stored per trade (`ticket_cap_usd`, `R_gate`, also in the LIVE BUY line). Enforced from a $1,000 ticket (ladder step 3) on; below that it is logged only. - **First live exit timing after the change:** no live position since the deploy. The next LIVE SELL line will carry: fast send endpoint + seconds to accept, crossing swap block -> mined block (+N blocks), swap log arrived -> sell accepted (s). I ring you with it. - **For the Execution Engineer:** read access is the same as before (w2.log, live events, w2.db read only on main). Your new columns: `exit_qblock`, `ticket_cap_usd`, `R_gate`; beat field `ws` (stale, logs, head_age). One question back: does the dRPC websocket bill per pushed message? If yes, the socket-only-while-live rule keeps it small. - Next: v1.48.1 (size ladder step score + kill limit at 10 tickets), then v1.46 (nightly verdicts). - **11:25 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.47 done: impact check + stale guards with a backup checker. Deployed 11:22:01 at 0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON.** - **1. Impact check (06:07 to 11:02 Bangkok).** One coin was gated in the window, SAI (pool 0xddefc8467c9b77e3f2c1525e0cb0f453e4408fc0), in all three gate tables. Army share was recomputed with the fixed memory (read only, script /tmp/inv147.py, output /tmp/inv147.json): | Gate table | Coin | Gate time (Bangkok) | Army share then | Army share now (fixed memory) | Gate verdict | Would it change? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | coins ($1M gate) | SAI | 07 Oct 09:52:33 | 0.0754% | 0.0754% | fail: too_old_95min (age, not army) | no | | coins750 | SAI | 07 Oct 09:05:25 | 0.0603% | 0.0603% | pass | no | | coinslg750 | SAI | 07 Oct 09:05:25 | 0.0603% | 0.0603% | pass | no | - **No trade was missed or wrongly taken.** The shares are identical because the coins missing from memory in that window were not among SAI's buyers' prior coins. Both limits (0.9% main, 1.5% wide/750k) are far above 0.08%. - **2. Stale guard (in the engine, every 60 s; silent when healthy).** Each check, what it does when it trips, and the one event line it writes (at most once an hour per issue): - **Army memory, loop:** the same coin picked 5 times in a row. That coin is skipped (mem_done=2) and the queue moves on. - **Army memory, flat:** no growth for 30 min while eligible coins wait. The memory job is run at once. - **Old-token coins:** now marked skipped (mem_done=2) instead of staying "waiting" forever, so a waiting count always means real work. - **Kit tags (srctag thread):** if the thread is dead, it is restarted. Pools older than 15 min with no tag are re-queued with their create tx (read from the PoolCreated log), at most twice per pool. - **Milestone tracker (kit300):** a coin whose check fails 5 times is dropped. - **Price heads:** an ETH price older than 10 min forces a fresh read. A block cursor more than 600 blocks behind for 3 checks writes a line (w2guard restarts at 6,000). - Open issues are written to the beat as `stale`. - **Backup checker (w2guard.py, every 2 min by timer and every 5 min by cron, read-only db):** - Trips on any coin waiting 45+ min for army memory, or 3+ pools older than 30 min without a kit tag. - Action: restarts w2coder (never with a live position open, at most once per 30 min) and writes "STALE GUARD BACKUP" to the events file. - Right after deploy it read 0 coins waiting and 0 untagged pools, so it stayed silent. The beat shows stale [], memory 293 coins. - **Files:** - w2.py 9188849036ff71eeb443ff1005b486b7 - w2guard.py 725105f5081315d97e8cc910621ec36d - test_v147.py 4401953ed64a23221fe94f56a9afaff7 - Backups: bak_v147/ - **Tests:** - test_v147, 14 checks, 0 fails. Covers: a failing coin looped 5 times then skipped with the queue moving on, memory flat 33 min triggers the job, old token marked, dead tag thread restarted, untagged pool re-queued twice at most, old ETH price refreshed, cursor lag flagged, healthy = no event line, backup restart, backup cooldown, no backup restart with live open. - test_guard142, test_mem145b, test_v145, test_v144, test_v143, test_w2, test_live140, test_ramp, test_lock141: 0 fails. - **Next:** v1.48.1 (size ladder and step score), then v1.46 (auto-verdict). - **11:05 Bangkok 7 Oct: army memory was stuck for 5 hours (06:07 to 11:02). Fixed, deployed 11:03:04 at 0 live open, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON.** - **What broke:** mem_jobs adds one coin per loop to the army memory (the wallets the army-share gate checks against). Coin blohard (pool 0xe507152250372fadb2c6cb50f2b5ff5e89dd8d21) was already in memcoin (from the daily backfill). - mem_add_coin returned early without marking it done. So every loop picked blohard again, logged "memory +", and returned. - That happened 7,980 times from 06:07 to 11:02. **No other coin entered the army memory in that window.** - **Effect:** gates in that window computed army share on a memory 5 hours stale. The gate's other checks and the trade path were not touched. - **Fix (w2.py 8735cce2abce28f2863cafcaa4e52201):** an already-stored coin is now marked done at once. Right after the restart the queue drained: ORBANCY (pool 0x4fc807391d8dd76992043950248b26a610231075) at 11:03:12, then SAI (pool 0xddefc8467c9b77e3f2c1525e0cb0f453e4408fc0) at 11:03:15, and so on. - Test test_mem145b.py 83e09f232faa89cb3a52f1b00356ffa6: a stored coin is marked done on the first pass, and the next coin is added on the second pass. 0 fails. - Regressions (v145, v144, v143, w2, live140): 0 fails. Backup: bak_v145b/. - **Also seen:** main rebooted at 10:45 Bangkok (now 4 CPU, 8 GB). w2coder came back by itself at 10:45:58 with dry sign PASS and LIVE ON at 10:46:22. No live position was open. - **New books:** w2_v3_addon5m bought its first add-on: CHONK (pool 0x8da021f34c2f2a95696c4fd842b0cd0cc4e18468) at 10:02, cap $15.26M, net buy over the last 60 min +$360, 10.2 h after the gate. w2_v3_kit300k: no milestone yet. - **10:32 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.45: paper book `w2_v3_kit300k` (A1.27 lead, pre-registered for half C) is RUNNING.** Restart 10:29:51 at 0 live open. Nice -10 kept, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON. - **Universe:** every NEW v3 coin (first trade after the book started, 07 Oct 10:29:53 Bangkok, kv `kit300_start`) whose pool-create tag is Kit A or Kit B, or whose code hash is in the 3,587-byte family (srctag.KITC: 51d0e39db2ed, 2696b754c8e3, 60341fa374bf, already tagged). No age gate, no top-receiver or army filter. - **Fair $300k milestone:** buys made at a cap of $300k or more, summed from the swap tape, reach $15k. The dev's price jump alone does not count. - If the kit tag lands after the milestone, the milestone time is read back from the tape. - The buy is never placed in the past: it fills at max(milestone + 30 s, now). - Each milestone is stored in the new table `kit300` (pool, kit, code hash, fair_ts, cap, $ bought). - **Entry:** $1,000 paper at the first moment 30 s after the milestone. It is a real simulated fill on the pool, with the same fee and in-range depth as every other book. - **Exits = the live book:** 0.3x stop, 5x then kit hold for Kit A/B (50% trail, 48 h), pull, 12 h before 5x. Kit C sells all at 5x, exactly as live does. The book is in STOP_BY_BOOK, TRAIL_BOOKS and KIT_BOOKS. - **Overlap:** new trade column `gate_overlap` on the kit300 row is 1 if the live gate (w2_v3_wide_s03 or w2_v3_live) also took the coin. It is set at the kit300 buy and again if the live gate buys the coin later. - **Paper only:** no tx, no live slot (only the live entry book can buy live). - **Shown:** - Scoreboard card "Paper: kit coins at a fair $300k (w2_v3_kit300k)" (trades, open, result at $1k, average, overlap), plus `kit300k` in w2-scoreboard.json. - Half C line "kit coins at fair $300k (A1.27 lead)", with A1.27's reference $3,416 (A) and $14,471 (B) a day.

My deploys use `systemctl restart`, which keeps the drop-in. - At 10:24, none of the top CPU users on main were mine. They were signer.py, daily_analysis.py, pickguard.py, reconcile.py and ppexit.py. - My one-off investigation script (/tmp/inv143.py, read only) ran once at 08:05 and finished. - From now on, any research or backtest of mine runs on research-box 152.42.241.219. On main I keep only the live engine, its guards, the hourly scoreboard and half C, and the short self-tests at deploy time. - No new coder tasks (tasks md5 a9714d14fce272ed328980c30b8a0155, v1.44 done). Live engine: beat age 0 s, no coin open. - **09:51 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.44: paper book `w2_v3_addon5m` (A2.32) is ON.** Deployed 09:48:21, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON, restart at 0 live open. - **Which coins:** every coin the live book bought (w2_v3_live) plus its paper twin's entries (w2_v3_wide_s03, the live config: same gate, so every coin live would have bought), gated within the last 7 days. With live at one trade so far, using only w2_v3_live would mean almost no data. Config `addon_src_books` narrows it to w2_v3_live alone if you want. **Watching 2 coins now.** - **Entry:** on every swap of a watched coin, it checks whether this is the FIRST moment within 7 days of the gate where cap is at least $5M AND net buy $ (buys minus sells, from the swap tape) over the last 60 min is above 0. If so, a $1,000 paper buy fills 30 s later at a real simulated fill. One add-on per coin. Coins whose cross already happened before 09:48 are not back-filled. - **Exit:** no stop and no 5x sale. It sells on a 50% drop from the add-on peak (cap vs add-on entry cap), a liquidity pull (pool quote reserve at or under 50% of the add-on entry reserve, same R as every other book), or 7 days. - **No live path, no slot:** only the live entry book can buy live, and the add-on book is not it. The book does not count in live_open or the 750k_lg slot rule. - **Shown:** - Scoreboard card "Paper add-on at $5M (w2_v3_addon5m)", always shown, with add-ons, open, result at $1k, average and coins watched. It is also in w2-scoreboard.json as `addon5m`. - Half C row "add-on at $5M + net buying (A2.32), $1k paper", run once now: 0 trades. - **Files:** - w2.py 44c1f4794081021fb58f8eadbac481aa - scoreboard.py cf2cf689aa60b5af4d5955b6347181f1 - halfc.py 470effea0ed26ee295ab6c49a085d9b7 - test_v144.py 0dd4f4d70fe6064510c563f226c59ba8 - Backups: /opt/w2coder/bak_v144/ - **Tests** (droplet venv): - test_v144, 20 checks, 0 fails.

The rules are the same; only the order changed. - The fast watch also runs only that check before the rest. Test: test_v143 "exit loop: the row the live trade follows runs FIRST", PASS. - Restart at 08:06:49 with 0 live open (live_open 0 in the beat). Dry sign PASS, LIVE ON. - **08:09 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.43 items 1 to 3 done and deployed (restart 08:06:49, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON). No live coin open.** - **1. Pre-approve: yes, the 3.6 s INCLUDED an approve tx.** The wallet nonces show it: buy nonce 4, approve nonce 5, sell nonce 6. The sell path checked the allowance, saw 0, sent the approve, waited for it to mine, and only then sent the swap. - **Now:** right after a live buy is recorded, the engine sends a max approve to the router. The stop sell is ONE tx. The LIVE SELL line now says either "sell was ONE tx (pre-approved)" or "sell needed an approve tx first (hash)". - Also cut from the hot path: the two wallet balance reads before the sell. The sell result now comes from the WETH Transfer in the sell receipt. - **The row the live trade follows now runs FIRST in the exit loop.** On CrawlScan, 4 paper books (s03, wide_s03, wide_ladder, regime) were quoted and closed before the kit_hold row fired the live sell. - Expected trigger to SELL_SENT is about 1 s (allowance read, nonce, simulation, send), next to FW's 1.4 s. This is not measured yet; the next live sell line will show it. - **2. Stop watch: how it was, what CrawlScan shows, what it is now.** - **How it was:** a live coin's price was read only from swap logs, on the main loop (poll_s 2 s, plus whatever else that loop pass did). There was no head read. - **CrawlScan timeline** (blocks are about 0.1 s apart): | Bangkok time | Block | Cap vs entry | What happened | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 07:51:25 | 82066359 | 0.331x | swap | | 07:51:27 | 82066380 | **0.274x** | **one swap straight through 0.3x** (tx 0x8b3d59d971e0dd4fd0f28a565c23a950ad0fea2b5f90e4accf6fef8e924d8aa2) | | 07:51:28 | 82066388 | 0.294x | bounce | | 07:51:29 | 82066400 | 0.237x | swap; this is when the engine read the cross and fired | | 07:51:31 | 82066418 | 0.241x to 0.245x | two swaps | | 07:51:32 | 82066425 | 0.195x | another seller | | 07:51:33 | 82066437 | 0.195x | **our sell mined** (tx 0x9ad953b36c2c00c3d89505cc0e42160fe8156b4ec419ad3b671077d220adcf79) | - **Gap between the 0.3x cross and our trigger read: about 2 s** (07:51:27 to 07:51:29, about 20 blocks). The price we read, 0.274x, WAS the crossing swap. The coin gapped from 0.331x to 0.274x in one swap, so no watch could have sold at 0.3x. The 2 s of read lag plus the 4 s sell path is what cost us. - **Now (live_fast_watch):** while a live trade is open, the engine reads its pool at the chain head every **0.25 s** (about every 2 to 3 blocks). That is ONE multicall (slot0 + liquidity) for all live pools, free Alchemy first, public second, never the paid node. - If the row the live trade follows would exit at that price (stop, target, pull, 12 h, or trail when held), it runs the normal exit code at once with that state. It is the same rule and the same rows, just read sooner. With no live trade open, it makes no calls. - Every block (0.1 s) would be 10 calls a second, over the free limits, so 0.25 s is the setting (config `live_watch_s`). - **Rough estimate for CrawlScan with all of v1.43:** read at about 07:51:27.3, a one-tx sell mined around 07:51:28, near the 0.27x to 0.29x swaps instead of 0.195x. - **3. Kill switch: sell fills did NOT count before. They do now.** - The "2 fills over 10% worse than paper in a row" rule now reads buy AND sell fills in time order. A sell's gap is 1 minus live result over the paper exit row's result. - **Count is now 1 of 2:** the CrawlScan sell, 14.8% worse (stored on trade 24, sell_vs_paper 0.148). The CrawlScan buy was 1.0% better and does not count. The kill message now says "live fill (buy or sell)". - **My view: count crash sells too.** Most of the 14.8% was our own 6 s (2 s read plus approve plus queue), which this switch exists to catch. If crash gaps start tripping it after v1.43, the fix is more speed, not leaving sells out. Your call. - **Files:** - live.py ec38c7d910a406fd4010f79cbba2ecb5 - w2.py 42e90f82ca003bf1f95baeb45efd7cb5 - ramp.py 095e5666541712293f56c0180b380288 - test_v143.py 1ebf32f83e411aacae3adc0c5e133073 - test_ramp.py 59621eefb4d8ab54a640c2775f6fdc97 (its fake live module got WETH and preapprove) - Backups: /opt/w2coder/bak_v143/ - **Tests** (droplet venv): - test_v143, 16 checks, 0 fails.

Sent to mined 0.2 s. No error and no kill switch. w2-ring.json wrote at once (n 1). - **Fill:** the trigger price was 0.274x cap and we got 0.195x, a gap of 0.079x. Sell vs paper exit (kit_hold twin, 0.229x): **-14.8%**. - Why the gap: the coin went through the 0.3x stop in one tick. The first stop read was already 0.27x cap at 07:51:29, and by 07:51:34 the no-stop books exited on **pull** (liquidity pulled) at 0.24x cap. So most of the gap is the market falling as we sold, not the sign path. - **One finding for you (no change made; live exits change only after A2.29/A3):** on that tick the engine closed 5 paper books first (07:51:29) and the live sell went out 4 s later (07:51:33). The paper sims fell 0.28x, 0.23x, 0.19x down that queue. If the live sell runs first in the exit loop, it would go out about 4 s earlier on a fast dump. Say the word and I'll ship it with a test. - Engine after the sell: active, beat age 1 s, live_open 0, no new "locked" lines (count still 5, all from 05:58 to 06:01). Live is still ON with a $10 ticket. - **06:14 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.42 items 1 to 3 done, item 4 armed. CrawlScan still open, live ON.** - **1. Fast stall guard:** new timer w2guard-fast (every 15 s, runs `w2guard.py --fast`). While a live position is open: restart if the beat is over **45 s** old, start grace 60 s, at most one restart per 90 s. With no live position it does nothing, and the 2 min timer + cron keep the 180 s rule. - It never restarts in the middle of a live buy or sell: the engine writes live_busy.json during live_buy/live_sell; a marker under 120 s old blocks the restart. - The beat now carries live_open (CrawlScan: 1). If the beat is unreadable, the guard reads the db read only (WAL, never blocked). - test_guard142.py, 7 checks (60 s with live = restart, 30 s = no, no live = fast guard idle, 180 s rule kept, mid-sell = no restart, stale marker = restart): 0 fails. - **2. Write-lock audit, every writer to w2.db:** - srctag thread: fixed in v1.41 (autocommit). - **health.py (cron :03 every hour): same bug, fixed now.** It ran first_eth (slow RPC balance searches) for up to 12 wallets per coin inside one open write transaction. Its connection is now autocommit. - army_backfill.py (daily 04:17): OK, each memory insert commits right after it; the network read comes before the insert. Its engine writes go to a scratch db. - halfc.py, scoreboard.py: open w2.db read only, cannot lock. - Engine main thread: can hold its own transaction, but cannot lock itself out. - test_lock141.py now checks srctag, health, halfc, scoreboard, plus the lock reproduction: 0 fails. - **3. Labels:** LIVE BUY, LIVE SELL and both ERROR lines now print `token` and `pool`, labelled. For CrawlScan: token 0x1ec25a196c49dd3445f1fcc53c37c513af92839c, pool 0xa6caf95634d4bcffdfb535eec889c9c928ff13d5 (the 05:56:59 line showed the pool only). - **4. First LIVE SELL, armed:** the line now carries the tx, live buy vs paper buy %, trigger vs our fill (x of cap), **sell vs paper exit %** (when the kit_hold twin has closed first; otherwise it says so), and **trigger to SELL_SENT seconds + sent to mined seconds** (live.py now records the time the node accepted each tx). The first one is marked **FIRST LIVE SELL**, and it writes w2-ring.json at once. My watch rings you the moment it appears. - Files: w2.py 2b34ca630ed4d929b17cdd89240b36f3, live.py 4f8937293f24c7ad6544c5d08ed3e0e6, w2guard.py 8626a3231b415b46c8e447a6dd038755, health.py ef48b29218f6bedbe63cb44a821f6c22, test_lock141.py 5554cd144797393fb873d4c787debb77, test_guard142.py 8aaf014fa9a750557eb3cea0ec5bea45, w2guard-fast.service/.timer installed.

Gate 05:56:39 at $1.03M (age 8 m, receiver 5.5%, army 0.11%), filled 05:56:59 (20.9 s), $10, entry cap $1,004,910, tx 0xf4921256fed26e57b8df0890a006b8b83adbf84000d06bdd587bb0899f06df1f. Live fill vs paper fill -1.0%. The signing fix worked on the real path. - Still OPEN. It exits with the w2_v3_kit_hold row (stop 0.3x). Price fell fast: the 0.5x-stop paper books (w2_v3_1m, w2_v3_hold, w2_v3_rep) sold at 06:01:33 at about 0.57x. The live trade and its twins in w2_v3_wide_s03 / w2_v3_kit_hold are still open above 0.3x. - **Bug: right after the buy the engine stalled for 4 minutes** (05:58 to 06:01, "database is locked" x3). w2guard saw the beat 194 s old and restarted it at 06:01. No trade was lost, and no live exit was due in that window. - Cause: the srctag background thread (farm_funded / first_eth, which runs at every gate) wrote a row and then did slow balance searches over RPC for up to 12 wallets **inside the same open write transaction**, so the main loop could not write. - **Fix (v1.41, deployed 06:04):** the srctag thread's connection is now autocommit, so it never holds the write lock across a network call. srctag.py f87f8e7402a3123e6fa7ac29e73c8038 (backup bak_v140/srctag.py). New test_lock141.py reproduces the old lock and proves the fix: 0 fails. Restart 06:04:16, dry sign PASS, LIVE ON. - Why it matters: a 4 minute freeze while a live coin is dumping could skip the 0.3x stop. This class of freeze is now closed for the tagging thread, and w2guard still catches any other stall at 180 s. - **00:17 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.40 item 2b done: SIGN PATH PROVEN with real transactions.** All three went through the exact live functions (`_send`, `live.buy`, `live.sell`), simulated first, status 1: - Wrap 0.0001 ETH to WETH: tx 0x180d617613d8d4e53f0f5b7cc2bc754911e019e6ababd584e620e303b8c95474 - $1 buy of CHONK (token 0x717d38587504b79e2e888c860bd1569c0d5984af, pool 0x8da021f34c2f2a95696c4fd842b0cd0cc4e18468, fee 100): tx 0x144752a803ce3eda29b5a6da2d65883a1c518dc5f68d29d378f8e1aeea772636, got 268.98 tokens - Immediate sell (approve + swap): tx 0x1237e8b2e6280a65675efeadc72f3c63a91521e8ff95b916f8b60c88fcdf0016, back 0.000350 WETH = $0.94 - Line written to w2-live-events.md at 00:15:33.

Live stayed ON the whole time (00:13:12), no errors. - Small fix to v43: there I wrote "CHONK 0x8da0..."; that address is the POOL. The token is 0x717d38587504b79e2e888c860bd1569c0d5984af. - **00:15 Bangkok 7 Oct, tasks v1.40 done: your hotfix is right, and now this whole class of bug is blocked. Live is ON at $10, all 12 checklist lines PASS.** - **1. Your fix checked:** every signing path goes through one function. I grepped all of /opt/w2coder: there is exactly one `sign_transaction(` in live code. buy, approve, sell, unwrap (WETH to ETH) and the cash-out transfer all call `_send`. Your `to_checksum_address` line was correct. - I moved signing into a new `_sign()` (live.py). It checksums `to`, signs, then decodes the signed bytes and checks the sender is our wallet. `_send` and the dry sign both use it, so the self-test tests the exact live code. - **2. Dry-sign self-test (new):** `live.dry_sign()` signs, and never sends, 5 transactions with the real key, the chain nonce and lowercase addresses on purpose: buy, approve, sell, unwrap, cash-out transfer. - The engine runs it at every restart, before every OFF to ON, and every 10 min while it fails. Any fail = blocker "dry-sign self-test failed", live stays OFF, one events line, and a ring. - Ran on the droplet at 00:11:14 and 00:13:12: PASS. Events line written. - **LIVE CHECKLIST item 11 = Dry-sign self-test.** The wallet line is now item 12. Re-ran `checklist.py --write` at 00:13: **ALL 12 PASS** (block in w2-live-events.md). - **3. Errors ring at once, 2 in a row = kill:** - Every LIVE BUY ERROR and LIVE SELL ERROR now: (a) writes the events line, (b) writes http://159.223.88.168/hx-c9ois/sw/w2-ring.json (count, time, text, last 20), (c) sends Ben's Telegram alert at once through alertgate (min wait 0; one message per coin and side until it is fixed, then a "fixed" line). - 2 errors in a row with no good buy or sell between = kill switch (new buys stop, open trades still exit by the rule). A good fill resets the count. - Also fixed: the old kill switch Telegram alert never sent. `import alertgate` failed silently because /opt/common was not on the path. It now goes through the same ring. - **Honest limit:** the droplet cannot press your doorbell itself; only a Claude session can. So: Ben's Telegram fires at once, and my fill watch now reads w2-ring.json and rings you when it changes. My watch runs every 15 min (was 30) while live is at stage 1. If you want faster, the bus.json md5 of w2-ring.json is the signal to watch. - **CHONK 0x8da021f34c2f2a95696c4fd842b0cd0cc4e18468, missed live fill (for A2.30):** gate 23:52:46, live buy died 23:52:51 (lowercase `to`). Paper twin: w2_v3_wide_s03 and w2_v3_kit_hold both OPEN, $500 each, entry cap $1,094,331. Not re-bought, correct. - **Self-tests:** test_live140.py (new, 12 checks with a throwaway key and a fake chain: proves eth_account refuses a lowercase `to` and `_sign` fixes it, dry sign never broadcasts, 2 errors kill, error then good then error does not) 0 fails. test_w2, test_srctag, test_cashout 0 fails on the droplet. - test_ramp: 0 fails here, 4 fails on the droplet. **The same 4 fail with the pre-v1.40 code**: the test reads the droplet's live config ($10 cap), so its $100 ramp and 10-loser drawdown asserts don't match. Not a new bug; I will pin the test config next. - Tests no longer write to the live w2.log (they only print). Before, test runs added lines to it. - Files: w2.py 145244d39a62f60a36beb29d2f8052cf, live.py 9ba3e1cfbedcd2ff09810d1258e588f8, checklist.py 272ff160058e48025fd6c9ad4497aae7, test_live140.py 774e293a6d698805e4c198e45ffeea47, test_ramp.py 820a540cacec6a31dfa280590ca2848f. Backups: /opt/w2coder/bak_v140/ and your bak_live_pre_checksum.py. - Live: ON since 00:13:12, ticket $10, wallet 0x04a057D15bd07581DC88b0a37E41EB69Ceb8C2D3 holds 0.0413 ETH, no live trade yet. - **20:52 Bangkok, tasks v1.39 answer: the live gate watcher is 0 s behind the chain. Nothing to fix.** - **Live path:** the engine (w2coder) reads every block itself, and the gate fires inside that same loop. At 20:50:47 its cursor was 81674625 with chain head 81674623: 0 blocks, 0 s behind. The heartbeat was 0 s old, and the newest stored swap was 2 s old. - **Why kitb-count.json looks 8,401 blocks behind:** its `feed_last_block` is the block of the LAST WETH pool launch (81661681), not the feed position. A direct factory log read shows only 2 PoolCreated since 81661000: the WETH one at 81661681, and one non-WETH at 81670544. Launches have simply been quiet for about 22 minutes. The counter is not behind, so I left it alone. - Live: ON, $10, no trade yet. - **20:33 Bangkok, live check plus one correction.** - **Correction to v40:** v40 said "no gate has fired since 19:25". That was wrong: my query used a timestamp 10 hours in the future. One gate did fire: - CORES 0x2cdf271007c7ebb6013d55492e156031c535094f at 19:48:17. It failed on top receiver 25% (limit 0.08), at 0 minutes old, so no live buy. That is correct behaviour. - It is a Kit B launch, operator key 0x8876789976decbfcbbbe364623c63652db8c0904. `operator` is 0, because that contract key is under the 1 in 5 gate rate. The gate was counted for the key. - So the v40 line "none of the 6 keyless launches reached the gate" still holds: CORES was the one launch that did get a key. - **Live:** ON, $10 ticket, no blockers (live_status 20:30). No live trade yet. A second "LIVE ON" line at 20:00:35 in the events file is the restart for the srctag fix, not a new switch. - **Operator tag after the fix:** 1 launch since 20:00, an "old" deployer (funded over 1 h before launch), which is a correct result. No more "state pruned" misses. More launches are needed to confirm the hit rate; I re-check at 21:00. - **20:01 Bangkok, live check plus a fix to the v1.37 operator tag.** - **Live:** ON since 19:25, $10 ticket, no blockers (live_status 19:57). No gate has fired since 19:25, so there is no live buy yet. - **Operator tag bug, fixed:** 6 of the first 7 launches after v1.37 got no key ("block scan (state pruned)"). The public node is a few blocks behind, so it refused the launch block's balance read; the old code tried 3 times in a row with no wait and no paid fallback. The same read works now (tested on the droplet: balance at 100 to 35,087 blocks back, 3 of 3 on both nodes). Now each balance read retries with a short wait, and the paid node answers on the 4th try. srctag.py 53f18e8825cd4ff9a9b3f323ed998048, test_srctag 0 failures, restarted 20:00. - Those 6 launches keep `operator` = 0 (no key). None of them reached the gate, so no gate learning was lost. - I re-check the tag hit rate at my next watch (20:30). - **19:27 Bangkok, tasks v1.38 done. LIVE IS ON at $10 a trade** (events file: "LIVE CHECKLIST (v1.38): ALL PASS" at 19:25:38, then "LIVE ON" at 19:25:48, ticket $10, wallet 0.0413 ETH). - **Ticket:** `max_ticket_usd` = 10 and `ramp_steps_usd` = [10, 100, 500, 1000]. It stays $10 until you write "LIFT CAP" (self-tested: 12 good $10 trades plus a big wallet still give $10). - **Fund check at $10:** need = 8 x $10 + 0.005 ETH = 0.0345 ETH at ETH $2,712. The wallet holds 0.0413, so it passes. The hair-miss fallback is built: if it misses, live keeps running at $10 while liquid ETH covers 3 tickets + 0.003 ETH. The first use is logged once. - **LIVE CHECKLIST: all 11 lines PASS.** The full block with evidence is in w2-live-events.md. It was written before live turned on: live_auto was held off until the checklist passed. - Entry: wide gate, real swap from 0x04a057D15bd07581DC88b0a37E41EB69Ceb8C2D3. The key file derives exactly that address and is mode 600. - Exit: kit hold, 0.3x stop, pull, 12 h, slots 3 + 2. - Auto revert: armed from 17:12:27. - Kill switch: all four rules, plus max 3 open and the 45 s median. Not tripped. - Cross-window guard: mc5live.txt 69 s old, plus 0x0184ef9b23476ed84107cc5e15485a4a7ee6b286, $1k combined cap. - Command lines: read every minute; no payout set, so CASH OUT keeps the ETH. - Gas reserve 0.003 ETH: the engine checks it, and now live.buy also refuses itself. - Fills logged vs paper. - Health: heartbeat 0 s, 0 blocks behind, w2guard timer + cron. - Paper books never place orders. - Wallet and ticket, plus a quote-only $10 round trip on CLAUS 0x206211d456a3a9dbe45e13507aac5131ace9c716: PASS. - **Fixed before go-live (found in the audit):** - (a) **Orphan risk:** if the paper simulation failed right after a live buy, no paper rows existed, and live exits follow the paper rows, so the live coin would never be sold. Now the paper rows are built from the live fill. Self-test: the live position still exits on its stop. - (b) **Gas reserve:** it was checked only when the minute balance was fresh. live.buy now refuses any buy that would leave under 0.003 ETH. - (c) **"Stalled engine stops new buys":** new blocker when the engine is over 600 blocks behind the chain head or its beat is over 180 s old (on top of the 60 s late-gate rule and the w2guard restart). - (d) **The $10 cap:** it was below the old first step ($100), so the old code would have stayed at $100. A cap under the first step now is the ticket. - **Self-test, 0 failures** (test_w2, test_ramp with 9 new v1.38 checks, test_srctag, test_cashout), on the droplet too. Live config and events were byte-identical across the tests; config was changed only afterwards, by v138cfg.py. - Files: w2.py b255d5cd7c890bc21ec85214c45287cb, ramp.py fde53a60c3db0225dc038bfe263168d8, live.py 64145ed49fee99a229b277099e737ed3, checklist.py b0513795686a12a9d732ae5c6be097f8. - **Next rings:** FIRST LIVE BUY, first LIVE SELL, any KILL SWITCH. My watch reads the events file every 30 minutes, so a ring can lag by up to 30 minutes. - **19:14 Bangkok, tasks v1.37 done. OPERATOR tag and the KIT DRIFT alarm are live. New paper book `w2_v3_opflag`. Live is unchanged.** - **The tag at each new v3 WETH launch** (srctag thread, every launch, not only kits): - It reads the deployer's first funding with a balance search back 1 h, then that block. - Key = the contract the funding went through when the deployer is named in its calldata (a disperse), else the sender. - `operator` = 1 if the key is on the watch list at that moment. The flag goes on `pool_src`, every coin row and every trade row (`operator`, `op_key`). - A deployer funded over 1 h before launch gets no key ("old") and `operator` 0. - **Watch list (`op_stats`):** seeded from a1-21-operator-wallets.json with its 25 gate keys (all 25 loaded on the droplet). Walk forward only: - When any coin reaches the sellable $1M gate (pass or fail), its key is added and its gate counted. This happens once per pool, at gate time. - Coins already tagged before the gate are never re-flagged. - Contract keys need at least 1 in 5 of their funded launches to have gated (A1.21 caution). Launches and gates are counted live per key: 0x84157d3d24630c297849c84d49ae7f1805c1b60f passes (34 of 155), 0x03802649e469ed5680c58dff9e65425e22d21cc5 passes, 0x8876789976decbfcbbbe364623c63652db8c0904 fails (2 of 15). - The other lists in the json (24 Kit A funders, 15 parents, the Kit B and 3,587-family callers) are not used as keys. A1.21's rule uses the 25 gate keys only. - **KIT DRIFT alarm:** when an operator = 1 coin reaches the gate with launcher code that is not Kit A, Kit B or kit_c_watch, w2-live-events.md gets one line per new code hash: "KIT DRIFT: operator on new code " (with pool, key, launcher). - Position manager launches (no launcher code) do not alarm. Operator A uses the plain position manager on purpose; that is not new code. - **Ring timing:** the droplet cannot ring you directly. My 30 minute watch reads the events file and rings you, so the worst delay is about 30 minutes. - **Paper book `w2_v3_opflag`:** the live book (wide + 0.3x); at 5x it holds all on the 50% trail if the code is Kit A or B, OR `operator` = 1. It never feeds the live auto revert. It is on the scoreboard and in half C. - **Live is unchanged:** live exits still follow `w2_v3_kit_hold` (code hash A or B only), until A2.29 and A3 pass. - **Self-test, 0 failures** (test_w2, test_srctag, test_ramp, test_cashout), on the droplet too. Live config and w2-live-events.md were byte-identical before and after. The tests cover: - Direct key and disperse key. - Unknown key = 0, then learned at the gate, then the next launch = 1. - 0x84157 flags; 0x8876 (13%) does not. - "old" deployer. - KIT DRIFT written once per hash; none on Kit B code. - Tags on coin and trade rows. - opflag holds an operator coin at 5x while kit_hold sells it all. - Files: w2.py 4d3b2af030fee0805eadc76829f54e64, srctag.py be2d3cc0df70803749fafafbdcb8f98c, scoreboard.py a80e37ba39a93b6abe6d75015d22a0a5, halfc.py 30594586f8050f1fd9603361fb51e09f, a1-21-operator-wallets.json 2338323e8b29914172b3c97589a242b7. Restarted 19:11 Bangkok, active. No new launch yet in the first 3 minutes, so no tagged row yet. I will confirm the first tagged launch at my next watch. - **Still the only live blocker:** funding. 0x04a057D15bd07581DC88b0a37E41EB69Ceb8C2D3 holds 0 ETH and needs about 0.30 ETH. - **18:57 Bangkok, tasks v1.36 done. Kit C WATCH is running, paper only. Live is untouched.** - **Tag:** `kit_c_watch` on every coin row (and every trade row). It is 1 when the launch contract's code hash is 51d0e39db2ed, 2696b754c8e3 or 60341fa374bf (the A1.20 "3,587-byte" family), else 0. `kit` stays "other" for these coins, so **live sells all at 5x** on them. Live exits still follow the `w2_v3_kit_hold` row, which holds only Kit A and Kit B. The tagger sweep fills old rows every minute. - **Paper book `w2_v3_kitc`:** the live book (wide gate + 0.3x stop, kit hold at 5x for Kit A and B), plus kit hold for kit_c_watch coins (all held on a 50% trail, pull or 48 h). There is no slot rule, the same as the `w2_v3_kit_hold` paper row. It never feeds the live auto revert counter (`kit_log`). It is on the scoreboard and in w2-halfC.md. - **First new Kit C launch:** the tagger writes one line to w2-live-events.md the first time a new launch with one of these hashes appears: "KIT C WATCH: first new launch seen", with the pool, deployer and block. Backfills never write it. My 30 minute watch reads the events file and rings you on it. - **Right now:** 0 Kit C launches tagged on the droplet. That fits A1.20 (none since 3 Oct 08:21 Bangkok). - **Self-test, 0 failures** (test_w2, test_srctag, test_ramp, test_cashout), on the droplet too. Live config and w2-live-events.md were byte-identical before and after. The tests cover: - Kit C coin tag = 1, Kit B tag = 0, and the tag on every trade row. - The kitc book holds a Kit C coin at 5x, and the 50% trail sells it. - kit_hold (what live follows) sells it all at 5x. - kit_log is untouched. - Exactly one event for the first new Kit C launch. - Files: w2.py e4056870547d9e965f744f419c37d56f, srctag.py 080f9b6a147f2e86f7d8cfc55b629e00, scoreboard.py ac9ce9b31ce452c4607fd82b9bfdcb06, halfc.py 3c08457f3c96cb37986001e34b9c9946.

New paper book `w2_v3_750k_lg`, running now, never live.** - **Name clash, please note:** `w2_v3_750k` already exists (the v1.29 A2.16 cell: top receiver 0.10, wide + 0.3x exits). I kept it unchanged, so its half C row stays clean, and named the new book **`w2_v3_750k_lg`** ("live gate"). Say if you want it renamed. - **Gate:** the exact live gate (what puts a coin in `w2_v3_wide_s03`): age up to 3 h, army up to 0.015, top receiver up to 0.08, token born up to 72 h before its first trade, one pool per token, supply re-read, sell check. It fires when $20k sellable is bought at $750k+ instead of $1M. Own table `coinslg750`; the $1M gate state is never touched. - **Exit:** the live exit. Kit hold (a Kit A or B coin at 5x holds all on a 50% trail, pull or 48 h; others all out at 5x), 0.3x stop, plus the slot rule inside the book (3 open; holds past 5x ride free, up to 2). Slot skips are logged (`coinslg750.slot_skip`). The book never feeds the live auto revert counter (`kit_log`). - **Ticket:** a $1,000 paper buy and sell (other paper books stay at $500). Multiples are over each trade's own ticket. - **passed_1m (yes/no) on every trade and coin row:** "yes" the moment the coin passes the $1M live gate. "No" if it fails that gate, or has not passed 3 h 10 min after its $750k gate (the live gate's 3 h age limit means it never can). - **Scoreboard:** a paper card right under the live card. It shows trades, result and $ a day at $1k, and splits closed trades into coins that later passed the $1M gate vs the extra ones that never did. Also added as a row in w2-halfC.md. - **Self-test, 0 failures (test_w2, test_ramp, test_srctag, test_cashout), on the droplet too.** It covers: a $1k buy, the 0.3x stop, never live, passed_1m no / yes, a 9% top receiver passing the A2.16 cell but failing this gate, Kit B hold and trail, kit_log untouched, the slot rule and skip. Live config and w2-live-events.md were byte-identical before and after. - Files: w2.py 8fc61c774189a3545e08411b9f56d74a, scoreboard.py e0a0012709ae23f52f8a1f1fcc4609ce, halfc.py 205887944f31d67a0671f84f79191c58.
