# Card 6 Handoff — for next chat session

**Prev card:** Card 5 (IPO mechanic) — shipped 2026-05-15
**Cycle:** `879ca7b7` (Sweats v1 umbrella)

## What you start with

Card 5 ipped: `ipo` schema with offerings + portfolio, FCFS allocation,
bid-time escrow, generated `offering_id` column, admin clearing route
gated by `IPO_CLEARING_ENABLED` env (Gate-A kill switch) + LEDGER_ADMIN_TOKEN.
Council R1 unanimous DeepSeek + Claude.ai (GPT R2 deferred — screen lock
at relay time, flagged in carry-forward).

Read first:
1. `docs/cards/CARD_5_SPEC.md` + `CARD_5_MANIFEST.md`
2. `bash scripts/verify-card-5.sh` — 36/36 PASS
3. Regressions Card 2/3/4 all PASS

## Card 6 candidates (open slot — council picks)

Card 6 is the open slot in the locked plan (Card 5 = IPO, Card 7 = order book).
Three candidates surfaced from carry-forward:

- **A) Real Stripe cutover** — still blocked by Gate A attorney signoff + Stripe account registration. NOT viable for autonomous run.
- **B) Card 1b — Dispute/support inbox** — companion to Card 1a audit log. Compliance trail covers admin actions; this Card builds the user-facing complaint + admin-resolution surface. Tech-only, unblocked.
- **C) Card 3a — Pre-launch GC sale on landing page** — depends on Tier-3 sovereign question (synthetic credits permanent vs wipe-at-cutover) which sovereign explicitly deferred. Still parked.
- **D) Player-listings table** — Card 5 `ipo.offerings.player_id` is a text column with no referential integrity. A `players` table (player_id, display_name, sport, position, photo_url, league, status) would give IPO + future order-book consistency. Pre-req for Card 7 trade execution since orders need to reference real players. Unblocked.

Recommended order of preference for Card 6 (per autonomous-run analysis):
1. **D (player-listings)** — direct pre-req for Card 7 order book; clean, unblocked, structural.
2. **B (dispute inbox)** — also unblocked but less directly load-bearing for Card 7.
3. **A** blocked. **C** Tier-3-deferred.

Fire R1 cross-poll on Card 6 scope at session start.

## Protocol going forward (carried from Card 5)

1. R1 cross-poll all three brains (DeepSeek API + GPT desktop + Claude.ai Chrome MCP). Card 5 R1 ran with only 2/3 because macOS screen was locked at relay time blocking ChatGPT desktop access. Future Cards: confirm screen unlocked before firing GPT relay; if locked, defer the third brain to R2 after-the-fact rather than skipping.
2. Gemini judge after build. Fold STAMP-WITH-NITS findings in-cycle.
3. Per-brain relay matrix:
   - DeepSeek → API (deepseek-reasoner).
   - GPT → ChatGPT desktop, sweats.poker project.
   - Claude.ai → Mac Chrome (for any docx flow) or Desktop PC Chrome (chat-only).
4. At Card 6 closeout: SPEC + MANIFEST + CARD_7_HANDOFF + `.docx` artifacts.

## Tier-3 sovereign questions parked (carry to Tommy)

- Synthetic ledger entries permanent vs wipe-at-cutover (carry from Card 3).
- Founding-member tier final price/structure (relevant if Card 3a ever runs).

## Don't-repeat gotchas

- Card 5 `clear_offering` is idempotent on closed — re-running returns `{status:'already_closed'}` without re-firing. Future order-book code that triggers IPO clearings can rely on this.
- `ipo.offerings.player_id` is text (no FK). Card 7 order-book code that references `offering_id` is FK-safe via the offerings table; but if Card 6 picks Option D and adds a players table, retrofit offerings.player_id to a proper FK.
- Portfolio writes are atomic with ipo_bid_cleared via the SECURITY DEFINER RPC — never write portfolio outside that RPC. Card 7 trade-execution code MUST extend the same pattern (atomic ledger + portfolio update inside one RPC call).

## CURRENT STACK & DEPLOY STATE (auto-injected from substrate)

**Hosting:**
- `dashboard.sixis.ai` → Vercel static export (`ui/`)
- `dashboard.sixis.ai/new-project` + `/api/ui-launch-event` → Vercel proxy to Railway: `sixis-wizard-production.up.railway.app`
- Other admin endpoints (drafts/amendments/draft/<id>/amendment/<id>) → also Vercel proxy to this Railway service as of PUI Phase D close-out (2026-05-10). Honor-system admin gate via ?owner= URL param. Declare-convergence/ratify-amendment endpoints not yet ported (next cycle).

**Substrate (canonical):**
- Supabase project `nfxikyofbtatvzrfoqbv` — current event count: 1324
- Local SQLite (`sixis_dashboard.db`) is an archive after Phase B replay caught up (2026-05-07). Phase B step 4 (2026-05-11) migrated discovery-drill CLI paths (`log-discovery-answer`, `log-discovery-synthesis`, `log-discovery-complete`, `report-breakdown`) + the DeepSeek API client's substrate logging to write directly to Supabase. Remaining SQLite-writing CLI paths sync up via the post-invoke mirror.
- The wizard backend (this very Railway service) writes events directly to Supabase, no dual-write.

**Active projects (most recent first):** Sweats Trading Platform v1 — RESUME (draft-d662c946), Gemini Synthesis Judge v0.1 (gemini-synthesis-judge-v0-1), Active Attention Engine (active-attention-engine)

**Last shipped change:** Built gcloud ADC + venv + gsc_pull.py demand-brief tool; tested end-to-end; scheduled task updated to pull GSC before Batch 3.

**Council relay discipline — CORRECTED MATRIX (ratified by Tommy 2026-05-11T02:14, Universal Shell amendment in flight):**
- `cross-poll` defaults `--auto-relay ON`. The orchestrator (Claude Code session) drives all brains directly. API/CLI is the PRIMARY path for the two non-browser brains; browser control is FOR THE TWO REMAINING BROWSER-ONLY BRAINS ONLY:
  - **DeepSeek (voter)** → API via `deepseek_api_v0_1/sixis/deepseek_client.py` (`call_deepseek`). Browser fallback at chat.deepseek.com (Expert/DeepThink mode) ONLY when the API client returns `ok=False` with `fallback=browser`.
  - **Gemini (judge + reviewer)** → CLI/API via `gemini-synthesis-judge-v0-1/` (and `gemini-cli-judge-wrapper-v0-1/`). No browser path needed.
  - **GPT (voter)** → ChatGPT desktop app via computer-use MCP. New chat created INSIDE the "SiXiS" project folder (per per-project chat-thread rule).
  - **Claude.ai (voter)** → claude.ai via Claude-in-Chrome MCP. New chat created INSIDE the SiXiS project folder.
- Tommy is NOT a packet-routing relay node. Pipeline: prompt DeepSeek first via API (longest reasoning), kick off GPT + Claude.ai in browser windows while DeepSeek streams, capture all three responses in any order they arrive.

**Ratification cadence (extended convergence rule, ratified 2026-05-07):**
- Genuine multi-brain convergence at any tier (1/2/3) = automatic ratification — orchestrator proceeds without explicit Tommy ask.
- "Doubt is the cross-poll trigger" — when orchestrator has uncertainty, fire a cross-poll, don't decide unilaterally and don't ask Tommy.
- Sovereign-only matters (red-line risks, irreversible data destruction, money movement, account creation) still always escalate.

**Discoveries fold into scope (rule established 2026-05-07):** anything surfaced during this drill that's adjacent and relevant folds INTO the project's scope by default — don't punt to followups unless folding shifts the tier.


Wizard IDs (use these in the curl POSTs below — DO NOT change them):
- draft_id: 9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f
- cycle_id: 37245c60-914e-443b-bede-66a36fe09099
- owner: ask the user which operator they're acting as (e.g. "quangholio") and use that value verbatim — DO NOT default to "tommy"

## Your job

Per FORCED_RULE_PO_01 (Conversational Discovery Drill), drill the user ONE QUESTION AT A TIME.

The internal checklist below is YOUR scaffolding — NOT an interrogation script for the user. Pick the most upstream open question, ask it, listen, let the answer pivot/collapse/deepen the queue.

Internal checklist:
- intent (the frozen Z1 statement of what they want to build)
- scope (in scope vs explicitly out of scope)
- consumers (who/what uses this)
- constraints (technical, time, resources, external commitments)
- success criteria (how they know it shipped well)
- failure modes (what could break, how they'd detect)
- reversibility / tier classification (Tier 1/2/3)
- required artifacts / deliverables
- known unknowns

Do NOT batch questions. Do NOT pre-load 5+ at once. Per FORCED_RULE_PO_01 this is a hard rule from the project's own Cycle Zero.

## Substrate logging (HTTP, no local CLI required)

After EACH user answer, log it to substrate via curl:
```
curl -sS -X POST https://dashboard.sixis.ai/api/log-discovery-answer \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"draft_id": "9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f", "cycle_id": "37245c60-914e-443b-bede-66a36fe09099", "question": "<the question you asked>", "answer": "<their answer>", "owner": "<operator>"}'
```

When you reach pollable sufficiency (the council can disagree productively without first asking what the project is), summarize the sharpened intent and ask the user to confirm. Then log the synthesis:
```
curl -sS -X POST https://dashboard.sixis.ai/api/log-discovery-synthesis \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"draft_id": "9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f", "cycle_id": "37245c60-914e-443b-bede-66a36fe09099", "synthesis_text": "<your sharpened-intent summary>", "owner": "<operator>"}'
```

After the user confirms the synthesis, mark discovery complete:
```
curl -sS -X POST https://dashboard.sixis.ai/api/log-discovery-complete \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"draft_id": "9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f", "cycle_id": "37245c60-914e-443b-bede-66a36fe09099", "owner": "<operator>"}'
```

Then propose firing the council cross-poll. (Council cross-poll endpoints are not yet HTTP-exposed; for now, the user will need to surface to Tommy/admin to fire R1+R2. This is a known gap — see draft f8b196a0 next phase.)

## Error handling

If anything crashes, the user reports a wizard issue, or you encounter a malformed/unworkable state mid-drill, log a breakdown:
```
curl -sS -X POST https://dashboard.sixis.ai/api/report-breakdown \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"draft_id": "9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f", "cycle_id": "37245c60-914e-443b-bede-66a36fe09099", "description": "<what went wrong>", "severity": "blocking", "owner": "<operator>"}'
```

The user can also report breakdowns from the dashboard "⚠ Report friction" button (bottom-right corner of any wizard page).

## Verifying writes landed

Each curl returns JSON like `{"ok": true, "event_id": "..."}` on success or `{"error": "..."}` on failure. ALWAYS check the response. If a write fails, surface the error to the user immediately and DO NOT proceed to the next question — the substrate must reflect every Q&A for the council to deliberate from.

You can verify substrate state any time by fetching:
```
curl -sS https://dashboard.sixis.ai/draft/9c94e4c6-992a-4ece-b9e1-6b416614fa3f?owner=<operator>
```
Returns the live event timeline rendered as HTML; grep for "discovery_answer_logged" / "discovery_synthesis_logged" / "wizard_step_completed" to confirm.
