MONITORING & MAINTENANCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

DAILY TASKS

━━━━━━━

1. Monitor 16:05 CT Afterhours Pipeline

- Watch logs/orchestrator_lead.log for execution

- Verify K4 catalyst alerts generated

- Confirm signal verifier processes results

2. Monitor 6:00 AM CDT Bug Finder

- Check reports/bug_finder_report_*.json

- Review critical bugs flagged

- Act on high-priority issues

3. Check Signal Generation

- Verify premarket signals at 08:45 CT

- Confirm swing screener at 09:35 CT

- Review afterhours conviction at 16:05 CT

LOGS TO MONITOR

━━━━━━━━━━━━

- logs/orchestrator_lead.log (Main execution log)

- logs/otel/*.jsonl (Agent-level spans)

- logs/scheduler.log (Scheduler daemon)

- reports/bug_finder_report_*.json (Daily bug report)

TOKEN EFFICIENCY

━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Current run cost: $0.10-0.12/day (post-fixes)

- Target: $0.07/day

- Monitor token usage in execution metrics

- Alert if trending above $0.15/day

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

OUTSTANDING WORK (In Priority Order)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WEEK 1 (Next 3-5 days)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔴 HIGH: Fix post-commit hook (python3 → python)

- Impact: Docs auto-update resumes

- Effort: 15 minutes

- Block: None

🔴 HIGH: Standardize FinViz output schema

- Impact: FinViz results integrate into signal pipeline

- Effort: 2-3 days

- Block: FinViz 07:30 pipeline currently produces unused output

🔴 HIGH: Wire K4 alerts to signal verifier

- Impact: Kill switch signals active (risk management)

- Effort: 1-2 days

- Block: 12+ catalyst alerts generated but never reach trader

🟡 MEDIUM: Complete signal-verifier 4-gate logic

- Impact: All 4 validation gates enforced

- Effort: 2-3 days

- Block: Sentiment + macro gates incomplete

WEEK 2 (5-10 days)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🟡 MEDIUM: Test autoresearch end-to-end

- Impact: Verify layer 40 iterative synthesis working

- Effort: 1 day

- Block: Agent added but full pipeline test missing

🟡 MEDIUM: Integrate VectorBT backtester

- Impact: Position sizing validated against historical data

- Effort: 2 days

- Block: Backtester never executes in pipeline

🟡 MEDIUM: Optimize token budget

- Impact: Cost reduction $0.10 → $0.07/day

- Effort: 3-5 days

- Block: Batch sizing fixed, no early-exit, expensive news fetching

BACKLOG (2+ weeks)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🟢 LOW: Reduce logging verbosity

🟢 LOW: Add actionable error messages

🟢 LOW: Validate watchlist tickers at startup
