# SESSION HANDOVER — SNIPERGOLD_ML P3-S.10: OWNER ADJUDICATION & CANONICAL SETUP CONTRACT ```text Date : 2026-08-22 (session close) Status : P3-S.10 COMPLETE — OD-1..OD-5 adjudicated; canonical Candidate Setup Contract v1 frozen; repair implementation spec written. NOT yet committed (handover prepared before commit+push). Forge : https://forge.mql8.io/chiki2bum2/SniperGold_ML Checkpoint : 533c8c6647a552d01a1a290cb2d0505f94887666 (VERIFIED at start: local HEAD == remote HEAD == branch main; working tree = only untracked P3-S.7/P3-S.8/P3-S.9 artifacts) ``` --- ## 1. SESSION OBJECTIVE ```text Design-decision and contract-freeze session (NOT implementation). Resolved: OD-1 H4/M30 gate policy ............ YES (hard direction-compatible gates) OD-2 Canonical MTF model ............ H4/M30/M15/M3 (runtime/setup); D1/H4/H1/M15 = legacy training semantics OD-3 Validity-window semantics ...... DECIDED AS SEMANTIC CONTRACT (per-primitive windows; 40/40 justified; W_setup/W_m3/W_zone_age = OPEN NUMERIC PARAMETERS, barred from performance) OD-4 MTF conflict policy ............ GATE-FAIL for the setup layer; arithmetic only in the scoring layer OD-5 Canonical OB semantics ......... A (intentional simpler proxy); NO displacement requirement; NO BOS/CHoCH requirement (redundant with the chain's CHoCH stage); constants 1.5/1.6 kept and documented; RESOLVED Frozen: docs/SNIPERGOLD_CANONICAL_SETUP_CONTRACT_v1.md (objective, MTF model, primitive roles, chain, identity, lifecycle, one-setup-one-identity, one-entry, score/signal separation, event/zone/state/attribute/condition contracts, MTF as-of contract, validity-window contract, conflict policy, canonical OB) ARCHITECTURE STATUS: READY FOR REPAIR (OD-1..OD-5 resolved; contract frozen; MTF model, primitive roles, setup identity, lifecycle frozen; NO production code changed.) No production code changed. No ML. No retraining. No optimization. Human verification = CANCELLED (permanent research-path decision). ``` --- ## 2. CHECKPOINT & PROVENANCE (session start) ```text Forge HEAD : 533c8c6647a552d01a1a290cb2d0505f94887666 (P3-S.6) VERIFIED Branch / remote : main == origin/main VERIFIED Working tree : only untracked P3-S.7/P3-S.8/P3-S.9 artifacts; zero tracked modifications VERIFIED P3-S.9 artifacts : all 4 read VERIFIED P3-S.2..S.8 specs : all 7 authoritative specs read (S.2..S.8) VERIFIED Human verification : CANCELLED VERIFIED ``` --- ## 3. DECISION RECORD (summary) ```text OD-1 (H4/M30 gate policy) = YES H4 AND M30 must be direction-compatible context gates for Candidate Setup formation. Conflict or neutral -> NO CANDIDATE SETUP. SIGNAL != SETUP: H4-only/M30-only/M15-only directional signals may exist but cannot create a Candidate Setup. Overrides P3-S.7 S-N/S-C FOR THE SETUP LAYER ONLY. OD-2 (Canonical MTF model) = H4/M30/M15/M3 H4 Narrative / M30 Context / M15 Entry / M3 Price Action (micro). Training semantics D1/H4/H1/M15 remain UNCHANGED (legacy/current); future F4 alignment requirement recorded. ML pipeline NOT modified. OD-3 (Validity windows) = SEMANTIC CONTRACT W_sweep = 40 (justified), W_choch = 40 (justified), zone age = none by semantics, W_m3 = OPEN, W_setup = OPEN. Chain ordering bound: sweep onset <= CHoCH onset <= sweep onset + W_sweep; decision within CHoCH window. Each primitive has its own window; no global SeqWindow reuse. OD-4 (MTF conflict policy) = GATE-FAIL H4<->M30 conflict -> BLOCKED; M15 vs H4/M30 -> BLOCKED; M3 contrary -> M3_CONFIRMED=FALSE, setup remains CANDIDATE, micro-score reduced only. No arithmetic voting for setup-layer conflicts; aggregator = scoring layer. OD-5 (Canonical OB) = A (intentional simpler proxy) OB strong move (1.5x avg) = intentional simpler proxy for Displacement (1.6x); OB does NOT require displacement; OB does NOT require BOS/CHoCH (redundant with the chain's CHoCH stage; legacy A-2 definition historical); canonical OB = opposite candle + strong move + full-range zone + unmitigated until close-through full fill. 1.5/1.6 kept separate and documented (BUG-P3S6-001 -> DOCUMENT ONLY). ``` --- ## 4. KEY DESIGN CONTRACTS (frozen, NOT implemented) ```text Setup identity : {setup_id, direction, sweep{onset,dir,window}, choch{onset,dir}, zone{type,formation,bounds,mit}, entry TF=M15, creation ts, M3 ts, reason} uniqueness = (direction, sweep onset, choch onset, zone formation ts, creation ts); causal, no per-bar recreation. Lifecycle : NONE -> CONTEXT_VALID -> LIQUIDITY_TRIGGERED -> STRUCTURE_CONFIRMED -> ZONE_READY -> ENTRY_ARMED -> CANDIDATE_SETUP -> [M3_CONFIRMED] -> EXPIRED/INVALIDATED/ CONSUMED. Strict order; one entry max; no reactivation. Contracts : EVENT {ts, dir, valid_until, superseded, source}; ZONE {ts, dir, upper, lower, mit_state, invalidated}; STATE {value, as_of, tf}; ATTRIBUTE {value, bar_ts, tf}; CONDITION {bool, as_of, tf, reason}. As-of : H4/M30/M15/M3_asof(t) = newest CLOSED bar with close_time <= t; Engine-1 closed-bar lock; no partial HTF candle. Validity : per-primitive windows (OD-3 table), not one SeqWindow. MTF : H4/M30 gates; M15 chain; M3 optional; conflict = gate-fail. ``` --- ## 5. REPAIR FAMILIES & IMPLEMENTATION ORDER (frozen, NOT executed) ```text F1 EVENT CONTRACT (P1): BUG-P3S2-001, BUG-P3S3-001, D-12. F2 ZONE CONTRACT (P1): BUG-P3S4-001/-002, BUG-P3S5-001 (+ zone scope). F3 SETUP LAYER (P1/P2): D-8, D-9, D-10, D-11, D-1; OD-1/3/4 gates+windows. F4 MTF/TRAINING (P2): D-2, D-3, D-5, D-6, BUG-P3S2-003, BUG-P3S3-002; OD-2/4. F5 DISPLAY (P2): D-4. F6 DOCUMENTATION (P3): BUG-P3S5-002, BUG-P3S6-001 (OD-5 decisions), BUG-P3S2-004/-005, BUG-P3S3-003, BUG-P3S4-003/-004, BUG-P3S5-003, D-7, D-14. Phases: I F1 -> II F2 -> III F3 -> IV F4 -> V F5 -> VI regression+parity+ dataset rebuild. Test-first: SPEC -> TEST -> IMPLEMENTATION -> REGRESSION -> PARITY. No direct hot-fix. ``` --- ## 6. OPEN ITEMS (recorded, non-blocking) ```text OPEN NUMERIC PARAMETERS (semantically contracted; constants to be set by contract tests in implementation, NEVER from performance): W_setup, W_m3, W_zone_age, FVG min-gap / OB min-size / zone scope. Implementation-scope: FVG mitigation variant unification (F2), runtime TF-identity enforcement (D-3, F4), display alignment (D-4, F5), training alignment detail (F4). ``` --- ## 7. NO PRODUCTION CHANGE ```text Only P3-S.10 artifacts added: docs/P3_S10_OWNER_ADJUDICATION.md docs/SNIPERGOLD_CANONICAL_SETUP_CONTRACT_v1.md docs/P3_S10_REPAIR_IMPLEMENTATION_SPEC.md docs/SESSION_HANDOVER_2026-08-22_P3_S10_OWNER_ADJUDICATION.md (this file) docs/P3_S9_CONSOLIDATED_REPAIR_PLAN.md (addendum only — historical body untouched) 0 production files modified (verified: git status shows only untracked P3-S.7..P3-S.10 artifacts; HEAD unchanged at 533c8c6). ``` --- ## 8. NEXT GATE ```text ARCHITECTURE STATUS = READY FOR REPAIR. Next session: P3-S.11 — F1 EVENT CONTRACT REPAIR (separate implementation session; tests first; one repair family at a time; regression + parity + setup dataset rebuild at the end). Do NOT start implementation before the architecture lock is committed. ``` --- ## 9. ARTIFACTS ```text docs/P3_S10_OWNER_ADJUDICATION.md (decision record, A-P) docs/SNIPERGOLD_CANONICAL_SETUP_CONTRACT_v1.md (frozen contract) docs/P3_S10_REPAIR_IMPLEMENTATION_SPEC.md (families + order + tests) docs/SESSION_HANDOVER_2026-08-22_P3_S10_OWNER_ADJUDICATION.md (this document) docs/P3_S9_CONSOLIDATED_REPAIR_PLAN.md (addendum §9 — see below) ``` --- ## 10. COMMIT & PUSH STATUS ```text NOT YET COMMITTED at handover write time. Planned message: research: P3-S.10 owner adjudication OD-1..OD-5 + canonical setup contract freeze (READY FOR REPAIR) ``` --- ## 11. P3-S.9 REPAIR PLAN ADDENDUM (what changed and why) ```text docs/P3_S9_CONSOLIDATED_REPAIR_PLAN.md was NOT rewritten. A clearly-marked P3-S.10 addendum was appended because the final decisions complete the plan's "Step 0: Owner adjudication of OD-1..OD-5 (architecture lock)": - BUG-P3S5-002 (two OB definitions) -> RESOLVED by OD-5 (canonical current confirmed; legacy structure-break = historical; DOCUMENT ONLY). - BUG-P3S6-001 (1.5 vs 1.6) -> RESOLVED by OD-5 (kept separate, documented; DOCUMENT ONLY, F6). - D-2/D-13 (conflict policy) -> RESOLVED by OD-4 (gate-fail). - D-5/D-6 (MTF models) -> RESOLVED by OD-2 (H4/M30/M15/M3 canonical; D1/H4/H1 deprecated to reference for the agent path). - D-8 (two setup definitions) -> RESOLVED by the frozen contract (canonical chain; E-rule re-scoped to the M15 entry predicate). - OD-3 windows -> per-primitive semantic contract with 40/40 justified and OPEN NUMERIC PARAMETERS recorded. Historical evidence (P3-S.2..S.9 documents) remains unchanged. ``` *End of P3-S.10 handover.*
