While you were away

When you open the Candle Harness after ten minutes or more away, a note at the top of the agent pane says what happened since you last closed it.

It shows only when something happened, up to five lines, most important first:

• what was refused or stopped, such as a trade over a limit, or the kill switch;
• trades, with or without a card, and how each ended: filled, failed or expired;
• trades outside the Candle Harness: fills on your agents’ keys that the Candle Harness didn’t send, such as a candle command run in another terminal;
• P&L since your last session;
• your signals on Hacc, from your own rules, on Pro and Max;
• your triggers: what fired, what waited for you, what was held, and what was missed;
• what an agent changed with nobody there: a trigger it switched off or narrowed, a trigger that stopped watching, and a bot it narrowed. A stop an agent switched off also notifies you when it happens;
• your bots: each one’s trades, its P&L over the gap from its own fills, what it still holds, and anything held. For a code bot, also the trades that waited for you, and its crashes.

The note sits in the rows the cards leave, and ends at your next message, or with its ✕.

• show all opens every section over the screen: when the Candle Harness wasn’t running, the agent turns that ended (a woken one marked ⚡), every trade and card, what each trigger and bot did, the agents’ changes, what was refused, P&L since you left, fills outside the Candle Harness, your signals, and each wallet then and now. Token rows are picks, and wallets have ⧉. esc closes it.
• ask puts a question about it on the input line for the agent.

How things run while you’re away

The agent doesn’t start turns on its own: only a trigger you set up to wake it does. What can still happen:

• a turn you started finishes after you quit the view. The core keeps running until it’s done.
• your triggers keep running, with the view closed: a trigger that’s on keeps the core up. Each one trades, notifies or wakes an agent as it would with you there, and a card it makes for you expires if nobody presses it (Triggers).
• your rules bots keep running, with the view closed: a bot that enters, or holds a position, keeps the core up. Its buys go through the wallet’s figures, and its exits sell without a card (Rules bots).
• your code bots keep running, with the view closed: the core runs each one that’s on, and starts it again after a crash. Its buys go through its figures and the wallet’s, and its sells of its own and the exits the core holds sell without a card (Code bots).
• a wallet that trades inside limits keeps doing so for that turn. The note says what ran without a card.
• a card you left waiting expires. Nothing is sent.
• anything run outside the Candle Harness with your agents’ keys: the note catches those fills by matching Candle’s record to the Candle Harness’s own.

If the Candle Harness’s core stopped while you were away, the note says when it wasn’t running, and still counts P&L across the whole gap.

Going further

• The agent reads the same summary with its history, so “what happened while I was away?” gets the same answer.
• A layout of your own can hold an Away pane, which keeps every section on screen.
• candle-harness doctor names when the main view last closed, and the last gap the note covered.
