- Buy-limit reset NEVER cancels an offer: quote_age_policy now aborts
only on a stale scanned edge or explicit strategy reallocation; the
4h window is a capacity clock (limit_ledger), not an offer deadline.
Removed every lapse-as-cancel trigger from best_practice, whens,
quote_age_policy, a5/a8, worked example, risk, and the a6 verdict.
- Completed offers pass through the collection box: new canonical
sub-states buy-filled-awaiting-collect / sell-filled-awaiting-collect;
a full buy cannot sell and a full sell cannot close before ge_collect
(scheduler dispatches collect for all four *-awaiting-collect states).
- Works the arrowtips example side-aware: a 4,000/10,000 partial BUY
cancel returns 4,000 units + refunded CASH for the unfilled 6,000 —
never 'refunded units'; the phantom 10,000-unit withdrawal is gone.
- conservation_violations() is now side-aware (buy: quoted =
filled + still_open + cancelled_unfilled with acquired items = filled
only, cash = spent + still_committed + refunded; sell: quoted =
sold + still_open + returned_unsold) with slot_phase_violations()
phase gates and committed negative fixtures: phantom refunded buy
units, a full buy sold before collection, a full sell closed before
proceeds collection. Existing tax/scheduler/limit fixtures preserved.
- grammar (ge_cancel/ge_collect), schema sub_states minItems, entry
version 5 + sources updated accordingly.
Owner lifecycle addendum (2026-08-28) + governor bounce 4 (lifecycle contract):
- state machine now covers the ENTIRE buy -> sell -> collect flow with no
stranded state: partial fills tracked per slot (filled_qty ledger), 4h-lapse
buys go to a new cancel_requote state (ge_cancel: units return to inventory,
cash refunds, slot freed) instead of collect, cancelled units still sell at
the high edge, lapse sells re-quote or lower rather than strand
- action grammar + schema extended ONCE with the cancellation mutation
ge_cancel (was missing; ge_clear/ge_offers_done are predicates only) and
used explicitly in the new a8 cancel-requote action
- concrete runtime state: minimum per-slot capital table (buy x 4h limit),
members 8-slot vs F2P 3-slot paths, per-slot offer phase + quantities,
buy-limit window, inventory/collection reconciliation in a9
- breaks connected to an explicit safe/resume path: resting offers persist
server-side + per-slot ledger survive the pause; resume = re-open GE,
re-check offers, continue current phase; never break mid-collect/mid-place
- rates qualified against the full lifecycle: 149,500 gp/h is named the 4h
buy-limit CEILING; realized range = ceiling x fill_factor (~0.5-0.9) x
duty_cycle (~0.90-0.95) ~ 96,300 gp/h midpoint; gp_per_hour_low 74,750
- pinned worked example: capital 22.5M -> 8 slot quotes -> arrowtips partial
fill (4,000/10,000 tracked) -> iron bar full fill sell (90,000 net) ->
cosmic no-fill ge_cancel + requote -> arrowtips partial matures at lapse
(cancel, sell 4,000, 68,000 net) -> first break after 6-10 rotations ->
resume -> stop conditions
- version 2 -> 3; evidence: validate 2 entries 0 errors 1 pre-existing WARN,
selftest 4 PASS (fractional-tax fail, ge non-margin pass, floored pass,
above-cap pass), synthetic merge main 79cab78 + head clean + gate green,
