Owner guidance 2026-08-29 for governor review 10361 (PR #8), finding by finding:
1. Loss-reserve stop direction — the stop read 'session net loss (total
assets - initial capital) > 162,990'; a loss makes that LHS negative so
it could never exceed the positive reserve (the stop could never fire).
Now expressed everywhere as 'initial capital - total assets > 162,990'
(stop_conditions, worked-example step 6, recovery block, version pin):
a loss makes the difference positive, the strict-greater comparison
fires on losses and never on profits, and exactly-at-boundary does not
fire. tools/validate.py gains alch_accounting_regression(): comparator
boundary fixtures (below 162,989 / at 162,990 / above 162,991 / profit
side +50,000 / breakeven) plus entry-text pins rejecting the reversed
form anywhere in the file.
2. Fill-price scenarios for realized GP bounds — previously gp_per_hour_low
/high derived only from the live-low -3.00/cast margin while the buy
policy permits live low + 5% (candidate 423.15 + nature 147 = 570.15 vs
540 lowalch = -30.15/cast). The economy block now declares FILL-PRICE
SCENARIOS A (live-low 543 -> -3.00/cast) and B (max allowed +5% 570.15
-> -30.15/cast) as the single ledger behind capital, batch economics
AND the GP bounds: gp_per_hour_low -29,463 (scenario B x session-fast
977.2), gp_per_hour_high -1,758 (scenario A x session-slow 585.9),
midpoints -22,365 / -2,225 pinned; validator enforces the exact bound
values and the -30.15/570.15/423.15 scenario pins.
Preserved: complete GE acquisition/restock flow, one-cast iteration,
monotonic break/restock counters, total-assets accounting (floor
575,150), fail-closed staff path, and the earlier fixed pacing/equip
findings. version 5 -> 6, updated 2026-08-29.
Gate: python3 tools/validate.py -> 2 entries, 0 errors, 1 pre-existing
F2P WARN (low-alch-f2p researched, untouched); git diff --check clean;
regression negative-tested (old gp pins, reversed form, missing scenario
pins all rejected).
Owner guidance 10325 (governor 10297 findings, exactly):
- GE acquisition path for initial buy AND every restock: open -> place ->
wait/fill -> collect (ge_open/ge_buy/ge_collect; new wait_offers state),
partial-fill collect + re-place recovery, bank-stock fast path only when
the bank actually holds stock — never withdraw an unbought batch.
- Capital model: staff cap 5,000 + first batch at max fill 570,150 +
6-batch worst-case loss reserve 162,990 + float 570,150 (~1.31M);
capital stops use TOTAL ASSETS (cash + supplies), never raw cash.
- Monotonic counters: breaks at 550/1,100/1,650 independent of restocks
at 901/1,802 (gcd 550,901=1); validator regression rejects the old
1,452 restart bug and enforces the pins.
- Rates: loop-only 837.2 labelled ceiling; steady-state 639-1020 (mid
791.2); session-realized 586-977 (mid 741.8) over the explicit 2h
session horizon -> xp 23,000, gp -2,930..-1,760.
- Staff equip FAIL-CLOSED after bounded retries; fire-rune fallback prose
removed everywhere.
Preserves one-cast iteration, cast-count breaks, rune javelin tips anchor,
pacing/equipment fixes. version 4 -> 5.
- Pacing: 3-tick cast is 1.8s (0.6s/tick), not 5.4s; xp_per_hour and
gp_per_hour now derive from the mandatory anti_ban.delay [1600, 3400]ms
pause (2.5s midpoint -> 1,440 casts/hr -> 44,640 XP/hr), arithmetic pinned.
- Anchor: model the actual least-loss liquid candidate, rune javelin tips
(id 19580, -3/cast live, limit 10,000, lowalch==highalch*2//3 asserted);
top-10 margin list re-fetched live; sign errors in old caveat fixed
(opal amulet (u) stale-low artifact disqualified, jade ring now
marginal-profit and flagged as flip candidate, not the anchor).
- Bryophyta's staff + Tome: document the 30 Attack equip gate; accounts
below it keep the ordinary Staff of Fire path (default, no Attack req).
- version 1 -> 2. Validator: 0 errors (1 pre-existing F2P WARN).
Live-verified 2026-08-27 against prices.runescape.wiki mapping/latest
(members catalog: lowalch != null, members=true, 3232 tradeable items)
plus OSRS wiki spell infoboxes and Module:Exchange limits.
- Same state machine + actions as low-alch-f2p (golden template)
- Top-10 least-loss members candidates in economy.profit_drivers
- Handoff note verified from LA page: switch to HLA at 55 (hard level
gate + strictly more coins and xp per cast); Superheat Item (43) is
a smithing production spell, not the magic-XP handoff
- best_practice: staff of fire, noted items, Bryophyta's staff + Tome
of Fire combo, self-crafted natures via Abyss; every line sourced
- accounts: membership members, min_level 21
