Autonomy authorization 2026 10 01

STANDING AUTHORIZATION — options pipeline, granted by owner (human:yasu) 2026-10-01 in chat. This is a GOVERNANCE RECORD. Do not re-litigate it; do not widen it. Quote it when acting under it.

CORRECTION 2026-10-01 — the deadline is 1 NOVEMBER, not 1 October

Owner, in chat 2026-10-01: "dead line is misstated it is nov 1."

Every "1 Oct deadline" below is wrong and is superseded by this block. The original text is left unedited because agents acted under it and the record should show what they were told. Correcting an owner-stated fact is not re-litigating the authorization: the authorization itself is unchanged, only the date it cites.

What this changes in practice. The record's reasoning leaned on the deadline being today — "deadline pressure is exactly when a versioned gate change must not be self-applied" was written against hours, not a month. With 1 Nov there is no pressure to resolve: roughly 22 trading days are available before the gate cutover decision, which is the difference between presenting the owner one day of shadow agreement data and presenting a month of it. The cutover gate (a63ZvWo4GPXA8KtPw) wants a distribution, not a data point.

What this does NOT change. mapping_version, the regime gate and regime_config.json stay reserved to the owner, the plan docs stay reserved, no real orders, TASTYTRADE_READ_ONLY=1, ledger strikes stay owner determinations, and measurement claims still need artifacts on disk. A longer runway relaxes none of it. It removes the argument for haste, not the reserved categories.

The authorization

Owner decided, verbatim intent: he is short of time, wants the agents as autonomous as possible, and the options OKF system must be online by 1 Oct.

Operating rule for the options pipeline: - Standing authorization (owner-delegated): the agent may approve + merge its own coding PRs, and may wire approved changes into the daily round/cron, WITHOUT further per-change sign-off from Yasu. - Route to Yasu (always): changes to the plan doc (the wiki plan/framework docs), and to anything touching the regime gate, regime_config.json, or mapping_version — this is the single item he selected as "really big". These are NOT covered by the standing authorization, ever. - Also route to Yasu if it is obviously big in the ordinary sense (money spent, host/VPS/DNS infra changed, access granted) — he asked to be routed "only for the plan doc changes and something really big", so the two named categories are binding and any genuinely large call still goes to him.

The deadline and its scope (owner-confirmed, answer #2)

The gate cutover is IN SCOPE for the 1 Oct deadline — i.e. iv30_atm replacing the VIX proxy, which carries a mapping_version bump. Note the tension this creates and resolve it the honest way: the owner selected the cutover as within the deadline AND separately listed mapping_version as the one thing that must still come to him. Both hold: do the work, prepare the cutover fully, and take the mapping_version change itself to him for the final go. A cutover needs (a) shadow agreement evidence and (b) his sign-off on the version bump. Do not self-apply the bump because the deadline is close; deadline pressure is exactly when a versioned gate change must not be self-applied.

What this authorization does NOT cover (unchanged by it)

  • Never place real orders. TASTYTRADE_READ_ONLY=1 stays set. No order-mode credential file, not even as a placeholder. (Owner did not list the cash/order path as a big call, which makes the existing rule — it is never agent work — the operative one, not the reverse.)
  • Ledger corrections and strikes remain owner determinations (append-only correct records are the agent's tool; striking a record is his).
  • Chart/research measurement claims still need their artifacts on disk; autonomy is not licence to assert.
  • Host/VPS/DNS infra mutations: still propose-before-POST per the home-proxmox-ops rule.
