Part of #1 (EPIC: OSRS Codex) — implements the epic's uncovered P0 economy backlog item "flip candidates". This PR intentionally does NOT say "Closes #1": the epic is a tracking umbrella and its backlog items #2-#6 are still open.

986fc1a+ head04a4af0(synthetic merge 0ea12ae).Blocking findings:
The GE tax calculation is fractional, but the game floors the 2% tax to whole coins per item. At the committed Rune arrowtips prices, tax is floor(244 * 0.02) = 4, so net is 244 - 4 - 223 = 17 GP, not 16.12. Applying the same integer rule to the committed top-eight table gives 598,000 GP per four-hour window, or 149,500 GP/hour, not 138,000. Update net_per_cycle and every derived table/rate; add a deterministic calculation check so fractional-tax arithmetic cannot return.
The state machine cannot complete a sell cycle. sell transitions to wait_fill, but wait_fill only defines all pending buys filled -> sell. There is no pending sells filled -> collect transition, so a literal translator can loop back through sell instead of collecting. Split buy-fill and sell-fill states or add phase-aware transitions, and pin the full buy -> sell -> collect path.
The advertised high rate assumes eight GE slots and includes members-only candidates, while accounts.membership is hybrid. F2P accounts have three slots and cannot trade the members-only rows. Qualify the existing economics as members-only and provide a separate F2P candidate/rate path, or change the account classification.
Evidence: python3 tools/validate.py passes with 2 entries, 0 errors, and the one pre-existing warning; git diff --check is clean. These are semantic translation/economy defects rather than schema failures. Repair this same issue-1 branch and retain PR #7.

Repaired the same
issue-1branch; no new branch/PR. Commit864f2c9on top of04a4af0(head now864f2c9, base main unchanged). Fixes finding-by-finding:1. GE tax is floored per item — whole-coin net.
Wiki (fetched today): "The 2% tax rounds down to the nearest whole number, so items sold for below 50 coins have a tax of less than one coin". Model changed from
0.98*sell - buytosell - floor(0.02*sell) - buy:tools/validate.py: GE-margin entries (tags flipping/merchanting/ge) must satisfynet_per_cycle == income - floor(0.02*income) - cost; fractional arithmetic is now an ERROR (verified: the old 16.12 fails the gate with exit 1).2. Sell cycle can now complete.
Split
wait_fillinto phase-awarewait_buy_fill/wait_sell_fill. Pinned path is now explicit:buy -> wait_buy_fill -> sell -> wait_sell_fill -> collect—wait_sell_fill -> collectfires on "all pending sells filled", and window-lapse sell re-quotes loopwait_sell_fill -> sell. A literal translator cannot loop sell→wait_fill→sell anymore.3. Members economics qualified; separate F2P path added.
accounts.membershipstayshybridbut the modeled economics are now explicitly the members path (8 slots). New F2P path (3 slots, F2P-tradeable rows only — members flags cross-checked against wiki item pages): Iron bar 90,000 + Cosmic rune 72,000 + Silver ore 65,000 = 227,000 per 4h = 56,750 gp/h (alternates swordfish/lobster). Summary, requires_other, best_practice, profit_drivers all carry the split.Tests:

Re-reviewed repaired head
864f2c9against main986fc1a(synthetic merge a93c82a). The original three findings are fixed correctly and the merge-result gate passes.New blocking finding:
tools/validate.py documents and comments this as a GE-margin rule scoped to flipping/merchanting, but the implementation checks tags & {flipping, merchanting, ge}. The generic ge tag is not proof that income_per_cycle is a taxed resale: a training, processing, or procurement entry may legitimately carry ge while its income/cost model is unrelated to flip tax. Such an entry would now fail the global gate unless its economics accidentally satisfy the flip equation.
Scope the rule to unambiguous margin tags (flipping/merchanting), or add an explicit economy model discriminator. Add two regression fixtures/checks: a fractional-tax flipping entry must fail, while a non-margin entry carrying only ge plus a non-flip tag must pass.
Evidence: python3 tools/validate.py on the synthetic merge returns 2 entries, 0 errors, 1 pre-existing warning; git diff --check is clean. The blocker is the newly broadened global validator behavior. Repair the same issue-1 branch and retain PR #7.

Repaired the same
issue-1branch; no new branch/PR. Commitf6675baon top of864f2c9(head nowf6675ba, base main unchanged). Fixes the attempt-2 review finding on tools/validate.py:Finding (validator over-scoped):
tools/validate.pydocumented the floor-tax rule as GE-margin scoped to flipping/merchanting, but the implementation gated ontags & {flipping, merchanting, ge}. The genericgetag is not proof that income_per_cycle is a taxed resale — a training/processing/procurement entry may legitimately carrygewhile its income/cost model is unrelated to flip tax, and would fail the global gate unless its economics accidentally satisfied the flip equation.Fix: scoped the rule to the unambiguous margin tags —
MARGIN_TAGS = {flipping, merchanting}. The baregetag no longer triggers the floor-tax gate. The rule itself is unchanged (extracted intoge_floor_tax_error()), so flip entries are still gated exactly as before.Regression fixtures added (--selftest, wired to run on every gate invocation):

f6675baagainst current main79cab78. The attempt-2 genericgescoping finding is fixed, the exact tree passes (2 entries, 0 errors, 1 pre-existing warning), and all three current selftests pass.One blocking false-positive remains in the new global validator:
ge_floor_tax_error()now applies to everyflipping/merchantingentry, but it always usesfloor(sell * 0.02)and never applies the 5,000,000 GP per-item cap. The new Codex entry itself documents that cap in bothbest_practiceandrisk. For a valid per-item high-value flip with sell=300,000,000, buy=294,000,000, the real capped tax is 5,000,000 and correct net is 1,000,000; the validator instead computes 6,000,000 tax and demands net=0, rejecting the correct entry.Please either implement the documented cap in this global rule (
min(floor(0.02 * sell), 5_000_000)) or scope the rule behind an explicit economy/tax-model discriminator rather than inferring a universal formula from tags. Add a regression fixture for a sale above the cap that accepts the correct capped-tax net. Keep the existing fractional-tax failure and generic-genon-margin pass fixtures.This is a validator-scope blocker, not a problem with the Rune arrowtips arithmetic itself.

PR !7 (osrs-codex, head
issue-1@f6675ba, base main) has been bounced three times; two[worker-bounce-fix]attempts are already on the branch, so per lane policy the third review's finding goes to guidance instead of a third repair.Review request (latest governor review, 2026-08-27):
ge_floor_tax_error()in tools/validate.py appliesfloor(sell * 0.02)to everyflipping/merchantingentry and never applies the 5,000,000 GP per-item cap that the flip-candidates entry itself documents (best_practice + risk). For a valid high-value flip with sell=300,000,000 / buy=294,000,000, the real capped tax is 5,000,000 and the correct net is 1,000,000; the validator instead computes 6,000,000 tax and demands net=0, rejecting the correct entry. The reviewer requires either the documented cap in the rule (min(floor(0.02 * sell), 5_000_000)) or an explicit economy/tax-model discriminator, plus a regression fixture for a sale above the cap (keeping the existing fractional-tax failure and generic-genon-margin pass fixtures).Attempted commits/fixes on the same
issue-1branch (PR !7 retained throughout):864f2c9(attempt 1): floored GE tax to whole coins per item (sell - floor(0.02*sell) - buy), split wait_fill into wait_buy_fill/wait_sell_fill pinning buy -> sell -> collect, qualified the 8-slot members economics and added a separate F2P path (3 slots). Fixed review 1.f6675ba(attempt 2): scoped the floor-tax gate from tags & {flipping, merchanting, ge} to MARGIN_TAGS = {flipping, merchanting}; added --selftest regression fixtures (fractional-tax flip must fail, generic-ge non-margin must pass, correctly-floored flip must pass). Fixed review 2.Exact remaining failure: the still-broad tag-scoped rule computes uncapped floor tax for all margin entries. Verifiable now: a flip entry with sell=300,000,000 / buy=294,000,000 / net=1,000,000 fails the current gate (6,000,000 tax demanded -> net 0), though the wiki-capped tax makes it a correct entry.
One direct question: for the next repair, may the implementer add the documented per-item cap to the rule (
min(floor(0.02 * sell), 5_000_000)in ge_floor_tax_error()) plus the above-cap regression fixture — or do you want the rule moved behind an explicit economy/tax-model discriminator in the schema so the global validator never infers a universal tax formula from tags?[governor-guidance-request]
Decision needed: What tax-validation contract should the Codex use?
A. Apply the documented capped OSRS tax formula globally (Recommended) — use
min(floor(0.02 * sell), 5_000_000)and add an above-cap regression.B. Require an explicit tax-model field per entry — avoids assuming one universal formula but expands the schema and every applicable entry.
C. Remove the global margin/tax gate — keeps entry-local arithmetic but gives up cross-entry validation.
Mandatory regardless of choice:
genon-margin pass fixture.issue-1branch; do not open a replacement PR.Owner: reply with A, B, or C. The governor will translate the choice into worker-ready guidance and then transition this same PR back to
bouncedfor repair.[owner-guidance]
Owner decision: use a single global GE tax formula for all entries:
min(floor(0.02 * sell_price), 5_000_000)Please update this same PR branch accordingly. Preserve the validator coverage that proves fractional tax is rejected, the 5,000,000-coin cap is enforced, and a generic GE entry that is not a margin-flipping entry still passes validation.

This repair must also follow the owner's global activity-lifecycle contract. The GE flipping entry must cover the complete runnable flow rather than only its margin arithmetic: required starting capital and prerequisites; selecting and buying the item; offer placement and monitoring; partial fills and cancellations; tax-aware sale handling; inventory and GE-slot state; collecting proceeds; repeating or switching items; breaks; recovery from insufficient funds, no fill, or stale prices; and explicit stop conditions.
Add a worked example that begins with preparation and capital allocation, completes a buy/sell cycle, crosses the first relevant recovery or break boundary, and shows how the activity resumes. Validators and rates must describe the complete lifecycle, not an idealized inner loop.

Implements the owner lifecycle addendum (owner-guidance-addendum, comment 10271) — the head previously pushed (00bfc35) predated it; the tax repair itself is untouched (per the governor: do not reopen the already-fixed tax findings).Governor bounce 4 (lifecycle contract) answered finding by finding:
Complete worked example — pinned under run_control. Deterministic, start-to-finish: capital 22,500,000 gp allocated per slot (buy edge x 4h limit table: arrowtips 2.23M, iron 1.45M, cosmic 2.196M, silver 0.949M, swordfish 3.09M, lobster 1.59M, magic logs 9.264M, mud 1.728M) -> 8 slot quotes at the low edges -> PARTIAL FILL (arrowtips 4,000/10,000 tracked in the per-slot ledger, offer keeps resting) -> FULL FILL (iron bar: sell 10,000 @ 157, tax floor(157x0.02)=3, net 90,000, collect + reconcile) -> NO-FILL on cosmic (ge_cancel at window lapse: 0 units, 2,196,000 refunded, slot freed; re-scan -> requote fresh window) -> PARTIAL MATURES at lapse (arrowtips 4,000 cancel -> units return to inventory, 6,000x223 refunded -> sell 4,000 @ 244, tax 4, net 68,000) -> FIRST SCHEDULED BREAK after 6-10 rotations -> resume -> stop condition (session target / capital floor / 3 aborted offers).
State machine can no longer strand anything. wait_buy_fill -> collect on lapse is GONE; lapse/stale with filled_qty < quoted_qty now goes to a new
cancel_requotestate (a8, verbge_cancel): acquired units return to inventory, unspent cash refunds, slot freed, then re-quote at the fresh edge (buy while margin positive) or free the slot with any acquired units still sold at the high edge. Sell-side lapse also cancels + re-quotes (or lowers to the current band) — units, coins, and slots are fully accounted for through collect + reconciliation (a9: inventory empty, slots free, ledger closed).The grammar LACKED a cancellation mutation —
ge_clear/ge_offers_doneare documented predicates only — so per the governor's instruction it was extended ONCE:ge_canceladded to docs/action-grammar.md (Exchange section) and to the schema verb enum, and used explicitly by a8. No unavailable action is referenced.Preparation and runtime state are concrete. Minimum starting capital per slot + per path (members ~22.5M / F2P 3-slot ~5.5M) in
requires_other; members 8-slot vs F2P 3-slot paths in summary/economy/profit_drivers; per-slot offer phase + quantities in the ledger (quoted/filled/sold/collected); buy-limit window in a4 + economy; reconciliation after collection in a9; failure paths cover insufficient funds (a4 ledger, idle transition), no fill (cancel_requote), stale prices (scan verdicts + cancel_requote), unavailable slots (slot-set qualification).Break cadence connected to an explicit break/resume path.
take-break(a10) documents the safe point (offers rest server-side at their quoted edges; state = GE + per-slot ledger, both persist) and the resume path (re-open GE a2 -> check-fills a6 -> continue the current phase a4/a7/a8/a9); the entry states it never breaks mid-collect (coins in hand) or mid-place (half-configured offer).Rates qualified against the full lifecycle. 149,500 gp/h is named the "4h buy-limit CEILING" (8 slots, ideal full fills, zero overhead) and is never presented as an achieved runtime rate; the operating range is derived: realized = ceiling x fill_factor (~0.5-0.9: partial fills, cancels, requotes) x duty_cycle (~0.90-0.95: scan/place/collect ~3 min per ~40-min rotation + breaks) ~ 96,300 gp/h midpoint; gp_per_hour_low 74,750 = 50% ceiling sits under it as a conservative bound. Same lifecycle math is written into profit_drivers.

limit_used/limit_resets_atfrom an independently configured quote-age or market-staleness policy. Cancelling does not renew the buy limit, and a re-quote before the reset cannot buy additional units beyond the remaining limit.ge_cancelprimitive encodes the wrong asset movement. It says bought units return directly to inventory and unspent cash refunds directly, then the state immediately sells/requotes. Grand Exchange assets from full or partial transactions—including after aborting—remain in the collection interface until collected; partially completed trades can be collected at any bank.

Thecollectgoal nevertheless requires "all GE slots free" and every slot ledger closed, which is impossible without cancelling unrelated active offers. Model each slot as an independent sub-state (free,buy-open,buy-cancelled-awaiting-collect,ready-to-sell,sell-open,sell-cancelled-awaiting-collect,ready-to-requote,closed) plus a global scheduler that checks/collects one or more slots without losing the other slots' phases. Add a fixture that reproduces the worked example's simultaneous partial buy, full sell/collect, and no-fill buy and proves no unrelated slot is closed.ge_collectafter one completed sell must close only that slot while preserving every still-resting offer and its ledger. Cancellation may yield both filled units and a refund, and a partially filled sell may yield proceeds plus unsold units; reconcile each quantity explicitly before the next transition. Pin conservation invariants per slot: quoted cash/items = still offered + collected/refunded + sold, and no negative/duplicated quantities.gp_per_hour_highremains the ideal 149,500 buy-limit ceiling even though the owner required lifecycle rates rather than ideal inner-loop output. The proposed 0.5-0.9 fill factor and 0.90-0.95 duty cycle are uncited assumptions, not measured or derived from the state machine. Put the economic ceiling in a distinct, clearly typed field; makegp_per_hour_low/highrealized scenario bounds with declared quote-check cadence, measured/explicit fill scenarios, cancellation/collection overhead, and wall-clock breaks. Validate the formula and retain assumptions as parameters, not prose multipliers.break.every: [6,10] rotationsis not executable.

slot_state_machine.limit_ledger(limit_used / first_fill_ts / limit_resets_at / remaining) is now DISTINCT fromquote_age_policy: offers rest independently of the 4h window; cancellation NEVER renews the limit. Committed fixtures prove it: requote at 6,000 after 4,000/10,000 used is allowed, 6,001 is blocked, and a full 10,000-used slot cannot requote any amount beforelimit_resets_at.ge_cancelnow moves filled items, refunds, unsold units AND unspent coins to the collection box (never directly to inventory);ge_collectwithdraws and reconciles the ledger before any slot reuse. Actions a8/a9 rewritten;docs/action-grammar.mdge_cancel/ge_collect rows amended; worked example t4/t5 walks the box + reconciliation before requote.slot_transitions+ 14slot_transition_whens, andscheduler_iteration: one pass at the 600 s cadence where only DISPATCHABLE slots act. Worked example t2/t3/t5 + committed selftest prove a pass never closes or advances unrelated slots (arrowtips buy-open resting and cosmic buy-open resting are untouched while iron sells).conservation_violations(): per item quoted == still_offered + collected_items + refunded + sold (partition, no losses/duplication/negatives), cash equality, and impossible pairs (still_offered+sold, still_offered+refunded). Five committed fixtures: balanced partial-fill ledger passes; live-offer+sold pair, over-reported sum, negative bucket, cash mismatch all fail.economy.ceiling_gp_per_hour: 149500(typed 4h buy-limit economic ceiling) distinct fromgp_per_hour_low: 74750/gp_per_hour_high: 138000, both DOCUMENTED scenarios with explicit arithmetic (requote-heavy = 149,500 x 0.50; resting-fill = 149,500 x 37/40 rotation duty) — the uncited fill_factor/duty multipliers are gone.

issue-1, commit76f8e5a(pushed; PR #7 retained). Finding-by-finding:quote_age_policynow defines offer lifetime independently of the limit ledger: a resting offer stays open while its scanned margin stays positive and is aborted ONLY on a stale band edge (margin no longer positive) or an explicit strategy reallocation — never onlimit_resets_at. The limit-window reset only restores buy capacity (limit_ledger). Removed the lapse-as-cancel semantics frombest_practice,slot_transition_whens,quote_age_policy,limit_ledger, actions a5/a8, the a6lapseverdict, the worked example t4/t6, andrisk. Committed fixtures still prove cancellation never renews the limit and a full-usage slot cannot requote before reset.buy-filled-awaiting-collectandsell-filled-awaiting-collect: a full buy reachesready-to-sellonly afterge_collectwithdraws the units, and a full sell reachesclosedonly afterge_collectwithdraws the proceeds.scheduler_iterationdispatchesge_collectfor all four*-awaiting-collectstates; the worked example's iron slot now walks buy-filled -> ge_collect -> ready-to-sell -> sell-open -> sell-filled -> ge_collect -> closed.conservation_violations()enforces: BUY — quoted units = filled + still_open + cancelled_unfilled with acquired items = filled ONLY (arefunded/soldunit bucket on a buy is a violation) and cash_quoted = spent + still_committed + refunded; SELL — quoted = sold + still_open + returned_unsold. Newslot_phase_violations()adds the phase gates. Committed fixtures include the three required negatives: phantom refunded buy units (FAIL), a full buy sold before collection (FAIL), a full sell closed before proceeds collection (FAIL), plus the kept partition/impossible-pair/negative guards. Capped/floored tax (4 fixtures) and the asynchronous scheduler-dispatch regression (now dispatch = collect for the full-fill slot) all preserved.Evidence:

76f8e5ad): the state machine encodessell-filled-awaiting-collect -> closed, whereclosedhas no outgoing transition and the scheduler intentionally leaves closed slots untouched. The prose claims collection frees the slot, but the model gives every GE slot exactly one usable flip — after the first completed buy/collect/sell/collect cycle the slot can never place a second buy, so rotations, breaks, and longer sessions cannot continue. Counter-check:slot_transitions/scheduler_iterationin codex/economy/flip-candidates.yaml and tools/validate.py contain noclosed -> free(or equivalent archival) edge and no regression exercising a second buy in the same physical slot.ONE DIRECT QUESTION: is a SEVENTH repair iteration authorized on this same

Apply the same executable release to a deliberately closed cancelled-sell path. Add a committed two-rotation regression that completes buy/collect/sell/collect, archives the first ledger, then opens a second buy in the same physical slot without loss, duplication, or mutation of the archived record.Preserve the capped/floored tax model, buy-limit versus quote-age separation, collection-box semantics, independent slot scheduler, and all side-aware conservation fixtures.
