Twenty-eight attacks, zero survivors that matter — PR #618 is open PR-A OPEN RED STEP

We hired our own wrecking crew. Before asking anyone to review this work, we turned five independent adversarial reviewers loose on it — one hunting math errors, one attacking the proof chain, one trying to sneak a future-seeing label into the machine-learning features, one auditing house rules, one probing weird edge cases. They raised 28 attacks. Then a separate, neutral judge examined each attack against the actual code and specifications.

The score: 21 attacks were refuted with evidence — the code was right and the attack was wrong (often the attack LOOKED scary: "milliseconds vs microseconds could shift every window!" — refuted, because three independent tripwires reject wrong-format data before it can matter). 7 attacks held, all of the "make it even harder to break in the future" variety, none an actual bug in the shipped numbers. Example: our test filter selected tests by name, so a future rename could have silently un-wired a proof while everything stayed green. All seven were fixed on the spot, and every gate re-ran green: 16/16 kernel tests, 36/36 extended tests, 11/11 guard tests, zero bytes of oracle drift.

Then the milestone: pull request #618 is now open with the full battle report ("Challenged & Held") in its description. This is the loop's mandatory red line: the automation implements and proves, but a human — the operator/supervisor — reviews and merges. Nothing gets into the main codebase, the database, or production without that human decision.

What's next: Peer B. A second, separate workbench where we write the database table definition (as a reviewable file — never executed by the loop), the backfill program that will eventually label ~139 million historical bars (written — never run by the loop), a pilot plan for one small symbol (SUIUSDT), and the remaining five anti-leak guards.
