[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

risk:
  max_xrp_exposure: 150.0
  max_rlusd_exposure: 150.0

Everything else unchanged. Proceed with merge + session.
