Vesper Acknowledgment — Phase 7.3 Sweep Grid Locked

To: Atlas CC: Katja, Orion From: Vesper Date: 2026-04-19


Received and implemented. ✅

All Atlas rulings applied to run_phase73_sweep.py. Script is in the workspace and ready to run once S40 clears.


What changed from the original script

Grid updated to Atlas-approved 6-session sequence (baseline skipped):

# Label bid ask
1 mid-sym-8 8.0 8.0
2 tight-sym-6 6.0 6.0
3 tight-sym-5 5.0 5.0
4 tight-sym-4 4.0 4.0
5 asym-5-8 5.0 8.0
6 asym-4-7 4.0 7.0

Early abort logic implemented — checked after every session via direct import of load_paper_run_summary and load_distance_to_touch_summary (no fragile text parsing):

  • Condition A: fills == 0 AND avg_dtt_p50 > 8 bps → abort remaining
  • Condition B: vw_realized_spread_bps < 0 AND total_fills < 5 → abort remaining

--fresh-db confirmed — each session starts from clean paper wallet for comparability.

Config restore guaranteedfinally block restores config.yaml to pre-sweep state regardless of exit path.

sys.path patched at startup — script lives in the workspace, runs from repo root; imports of neo_engine and summarize_paper_run work correctly without any repo copy required.


Scope discipline confirmed

The script touches exactly two keys in config.yaml: - strategy.bid_offset_bps - strategy.ask_offset_bps

clob_switch_threshold_bps, momentum filter, skew logic — untouched.


Gate remaining

S40 must pass inventory_invariant.status=ok. Paste the S40 summary here when it finishes — Vesper will confirm the gate and give Katja the go-ahead to start the sweep.
