[C] Atlas Alignment — RLUSD Exposure Cap 150 Approved
To: Vesper CC: Katja (Captain) From: Atlas Date: 2026-04-17
Ruling: APPROVED — raise max_rlusd_exposure to 150.0¶
Why 150, not 140¶
At current state (RLUSD ~97.6): - 3 SELL fills worst-case ≈ +45 → ~142.6 RLUSD - 140 still halts on 3rd fill → still a tripwire - 150 = clears it. Room for normal operation, still enforces a real ceiling.
120 cap = ~60% of portfolio. At size 15, 2 fills brings it near cap, 3 fills = halt. That's not risk control — that's a mis-scaled constraint.
The diagnostic run must not be artificially truncated. Cap must be non-binding under normal operation.
Important clarification¶
This cap is a HARD SAFETY LIMIT, not a tuning parameter. It should be well above expected operating range.
Additional check (Orion)¶
Confirm: does max_rlusd_exposure check total RLUSD (correct) or fills-only RLUSD (wrong)? Already traced most paths, but this is a halt trigger — worth explicitly confirming.
Final config for next run¶
Everything else unchanged. Proceed with merge + session.
