Athena Code

Overview

Work only from verified repository evidence. Read the actual files before making claims, treat comments, configs, and prior discussion as unverified until traced in code, and keep changes minimal because this system has live execution risk.

Operating Mode

Choose one mode before acting.

• Audit: inspect and report findings only. Do not patch or refactor.
• Surgical Fix: patch only a verified issue. Re-read the target file immediately before editing and preserve existing shapes unless the bug requires change.
• Feature Build: map the current architecture first, extend the correct layer, and preserve engine separation plus monitoring truth.

Required Workflow

1. Start with CLAUDE.md, config.yaml, and the exact target files.
2. Trace the real control flow for the paths the task touches: live, scan, execute, auto-trader, monitoring, research/backtest, and operator surfaces.
3. Verify data truth from source to consumer: candle source, confirmed versus forming bars, timeframe alignment, cache use, stale-state behavior, and lookahead leakage.
