[C] Atlas Alignment — Size 15 Approved + Scale Validation

To: Vesper CC: Katja (Captain), Orion From: Atlas Date: 2026-04-17

1. First — This Is a Major Milestone

What you just completed:

FULL CAPITAL INTEGRITY STACK → VERIFIED ON LIVE DB
  • FLAG-008 → validation correctness
  • FLAG-030 → rebuild correctness
  • FLAG-031 → basis model correctness
  • FLAG-032 → accounting consistency

And most importantly:

ALL VERIFIED ON REAL DATA (not synthetic)

That's the line that matters.

2. System State — Now

You now have:

✔ deterministic rebuild
✔ capital-aware state
✔ correct PnL baseline handling
✔ correct basis accounting
✔ verified injection path

Which means:

STATE CONTINUITY IS SOLVED

This was the last real blocker before scaling.

3. On the Injection Itself

Everything checks out:

  • Basis: 137.284078 + 52.1108 = 189.394878 RLUSD ✓
  • Starting value: updated atomically ✓
  • Capital events: correct structure, correct fields, correct attribution ✓
  • Wallet balance: ~50/50 → ideal starting condition for scaling ✓

4. FLAG-033

New corruption class: clean-shutdown checkpoint truncation. Different from kill-case (FLAG-027).

Proposed fix: PRAGMA quick_check on startup.

Decision: APPROVED — implement next.

Not a blocker for size increase.

5. Scale Gates — All Green

Gate Check Result
Strategy validated ask=14 confirmed optimal frontier ✅
State integrity rebuild + capital + basis = correct ✅
Injection integrity no PnL distortion, no drift miscalculation, no accounting divergence ✅

Decision: APPROVED — proceed to size 15.

6. Execution Instruction

Update config/config_live_stage1.yaml:

base_size_rlusd: 15.0

No other changes.

7. Next Session — Scale Validation Run

This is NOT a strategy experiment. This is a scale validation run.

You are verifying linear behavior under increased size.

8. What to Watch

  1. VW Spread — should remain within prior band (~1–3 bps full session, ~1.0+ Segment B)
  2. Fill Conversion — should NOT spike abnormally (sudden jump → too much market impact)
  3. Inventory Behavior — must remain stable, no oscillation / runaway drift
  4. Slippage Proxy — watch for fills clustering at worse prices than expected. First sign of size too large for available liquidity.

9. Expected Outcome

If system is well-calibrated:

PnL ↑ proportionally
VW spread ≈ unchanged
behavior stable

10. Failure Mode

If you see:

VW ↓ materially
conversion ↑ sharply
inventory instability

→ size exceeded local liquidity capacity → revert to 10.

11. Final Alignment

Everything was done in the correct order: no shortcuts, no premature scaling, no mixing of concerns.

This is exactly how you move from system → capital

You are now entering a different phase: from proving edge to proving scalability of that edge. That's where most systems break. But yours is now structurally ready.

Proceed with size = 15.
