ALPACA PAPER · AUTONOMOUS OPTIONS RESEARCH

Competing theses.
Accountable decisions.

Three strategy agents challenge the same market. A critic questions every thesis. Deterministic risk gets the final veto—and every refusal leaves evidence.

LIVE BROKER OBSERVATIONS

Market intelligence

Source-labelled Alpaca option snapshots. Stale observations remain visible for evidence but cannot authorize execution.

MARKET CLOSED
No eligible current option snapshots

The backend returned no current contract observations. ThesisCircuit will not substitute prototype prices.

DETERMINISTIC FEATURE ENGINE

Market regime

A rule-based classification recomputed each cycle. Missing or stale inputs resolve to uncertainty, not confidence theater.

No completed research cycle

Regime state will appear only from a recorded backend cycle.

MULTI-AGENT OPTIONS ENGINE

Strategy arena

Three independent theses compete on the same recorded state. Capital allocation remains zero unless every hurdle clears.

No completed agent cycle

No strategy state is fabricated while the research ledger is unavailable.

ADVERSARIAL GOVERNANCE

Decision council

Agent proposals flow through an independent critic, allocator, and deterministic risk officer.

NO RECORD
Council record unavailable

No debate or verdict is synthesized without backend evidence.

ACTUAL ALPACA PAPER POSITION

Position watch

Broker-reported valuation and source-labelled option metrics. Recommendations are research only; closing authority is disabled.

NO CLOSING AUTHORITY
No open paper position

Only an actual broker-reported position can populate this panel.

PRESERVED PHASE 1 EVIDENCE

The original paper trade

One controlled opening order, reconciled from Alpaca and persisted in Supabase. No additional or closing order was sent.

NO ORDER
No reconciled Alpaca order

Readiness records are never presented as executed orders.

DETERMINISTIC CAPITAL GOVERNOR

Risk engine

The agent layer cannot override these checks. Any blocked or unknown condition prevents broker dispatch.

FAIL CLOSED
Risk record unavailable

An absent risk decision never implies approval.

COUNTERFACTUAL · NEVER SENT TO ALPACA

Shadow desk

Rejected ideas are marked against later observed bids to measure decision quality without claiming fills, fees, or executable returns.

NOT EXECUTED
No shadow records

The system does not invent counterfactuals when no eligible rejected proposal exists.

EVIDENCE-WEIGHTED ALLOCATION

Agent leaderboard

Scores shrink toward a neutral prior with sparse samples. Phase 1 performance is not attributed to these research agents.

No scored agents

Leaderboard values appear only from recorded evidence.

FINITE DRY-RUN DISPATCH

Autonomous cycles

Recorded research cycles are idempotent and non-overlapping. Autonomous broker execution remains disabled.

UNAVAILABLE
No cycle history

No autonomous cycle values are synthesized.

IMMUTABLE RESEARCH LEDGER

Research audit

A replayable stage trail from underlying selection through risk, shadow research, and position review.

No audit timeline

Audit stages appear only from a persisted cycle.

BUILT TO FAIL CLOSED

Reliability architecture

Execution is a separately authorized, durable transaction—not a side effect of agent output.

01Cycle leaseSingle-flight coordination

One active research cycle; stale locks expire safely.

02Durable intentPersist before dispatch

Every broker action is recorded before network contact.

03Atomic claimOne worker wins

Database coordination prevents overlapping submission ownership.

04ReconciliationRead before retry

Unknown broker responses are queried by client order ID.

05Bounded sessionExpiry plus budgets

Opening, closing, and total order budgets are atomic.

06Terminal shutdownFlags return false

Completion, expiry, kill, or failure forces execution off.
