Makulus — recorded work

Work log, not a live indicator

Next: Verify ordinary M3 management and AI01/AI02 post-checks through existing receipts without replay. S1 is enrolled simulation-only. No new monitor or trading authority.

Waiting on: No installation blocker remains for the two October 29 technical corrections; ordinary M3 management and scheduled-report recurrence remain pending.

Latest findings

Oct 31 evening

Platform completion: the three “missing” databases were restored.

edgar_meta.db, pit_universe.db and xbrl_wide.db were restored from byte-verified copies found inside the transferred tree. Both live consumers are proven working — the weekly market calendar liquidity map returns 1,880 tickers — and nothing on the paper-operation path consumes any of the three.

Linux health checks are live — and they caught a real defect.

The new Linux health set runs on a report-only timer. Building it exposed that after that evening’s VM replacement, no Makulus systemd units existed and the Brain-refresh cadence had been silently down about 2.4 hours. Units were reinstalled and the cadence is live; a recovery-path fix is commissioned so it cannot recur silently.

TradingView chart liveness: verified.

Two frame captures 68 seconds apart show the signed-in layout with a Ford daily chart fully rendered, data through Oct 30. No in-scope workflow depends on TV chart data.

Native IBKR connectivity: settled.

Direct, tunnel-free Gateway login passed after the platform’s other_tcp policy was set to Ask — the restriction was that policy all along. IBC dialog-watcher re-proof PASS (watcher v6, cold-start proof, final read identical to the cent).

Foreign crashes don’t foreshadow US crashes — “no usable signal.”

Global-markets correlation study, phase 2, delivered and emailed Oct 31: 1.2% hit rate vs a 2.94% base rate across 85 events; clean subset 0 of 25. The reliable arrow points outward from the US.

Live-Readiness Assurance Case: delivered Oct 31.

Live trading is currently impossible through both code write paths (verified). 24 gates are defined for any live pilot — all but four provable during November paper operation. Nothing is authorized or activated by it.

Dip-buying test: the honest answer was no.

Buying dips in the Magnificent 7 beat the index, but did not beat simply owning the same stocks — and one positive result vanished once trading costs were counted.
