Day 55 Improve the first output - Done
Found three improvements of output and fixed one with highest impact.
Improvement Log — Day 55
Output Gap Analysis
What was produced: Raw run-01 observations log — accurate technical content, but written in shorthand notation (9hrs, ~2hrs, acct.Connection, NPE'd), broken Unicode artifacts (mangled em-dash/arrow chars), failure causes (infra/env, code defects, runtime logic) interleaved in single paragraphs, and priority fixes stated as terse internal reminders rather than explicit implementable actions.
What was expected: Same technical substance, cleaned up: correct encoding/punctuation throughout, full notation instead of shorthand, failures grouped by root-cause category (environment/infrastructure vs. code defect vs. runtime logic), and fixes written as explicit system-behavior requirements — stated as what the agent/spec must do, not as a reminder to self.
Three Specific Improvements
Improvement 1 (Highest impact):
Gap: DP-8 (ATI state) and DP-12 (risk/margin) checks produce a log line only on failure. A pass is silent — indistinguishable from "never checked." Flagged directly in pre-deploy-checklist and confirmed in run-01 as an unverified gap.
Feedback type: Process
Spec change: Require an explicit INFO-level log entry on the pass branch of DP-8 and DP-12, not just the failure branches — so a completed check is always distinguishable from a skipped one.
Improvement 2:
Gap: Observation/debug logs contain broken Unicode characters (mangled em-dash/arrow glyphs from copy-paste) and inconsistent shorthand (9hrs, ~2hrs, NPE'd) instead of clean, parseable notation.
Feedback type: Format
Spec change: Add a logging rule requiring ASCII-safe punctuation (plain hyphen, no smart quotes/dashes) and full units/terms (9 hours, NullPointerException) in all human-readable log and observation output.
Improvement 3:
Gap: Failure causes spanning environment/infrastructure, code defects, and runtime logic were clustered into single undifferentiated paragraphs, making root-cause triage slower.
Feedback type: Content
Spec change: Require observation logs to group findings under explicit category headers — Environment/Infrastructure, Code Defect, Runtime/Logic — instead of one flat "what didn't work" list.
Implement Today
Change to make: Improvement 1 — DP-8 and DP-12 must emit an explicit pass-confirmation log line, closing the silent-no-op gap.
Where in the spec: C:/Users/Tingmei/zero-one/agent-spec.md, Steps section, Step 8 (DP-8) and Step 12 (DP-12)
Current text:
8. **[DP-8: ATI State]** NT8 checks whether ATI is enabled and strategy is un-paused.
- If active: proceed to Step 9.
- If paused or disabled: log WARN, return to IDLE.
- If unreadable: execute Stop-Cancel-Close. Log CRITICAL.
12. **[DP-12: Risk/Margin]** NT8 checks account margin and position size against pre-set limits.
- If within limits: proceed to Step 13.
- If exceeded: block order, log margin violation. Return to IDLE.
- If unresolvable: execute Stop-Cancel-Close. Log CRITICAL.
Revised text:
8. **[DP-8: ATI State]** NT8 checks whether ATI is enabled and strategy is un-paused.
- If active: log INFO "DP-8 PASS — ATI enabled, strategy active", proceed to Step 9.
- If paused or disabled: log WARN, return to IDLE.
- If unreadable: execute Stop-Cancel-Close. Log CRITICAL.
12. **[DP-12: Risk/Margin]** NT8 checks account margin and position size against pre-set limits.
- If within limits: log INFO "DP-12 PASS — margin/position within limits", proceed to Step 13.
- If exceeded: block order, log margin violation. Return to IDLE.
- If unresolvable: execute Stop-Cancel-Close. Log CRITICAL.
