# Weekly Summary · 2026‑03‑15
*Week of 2026‑03‑09 to 2026‑03‑15*

## Overview
This week marked the initialization of the structured workspace per the Agent Programme. The focus was on setting up the knowledge system, optimizing morning‑report generation, and addressing session‑persistence and model‑configuration issues.

## Key Achievements
### 1. Workspace Initialization (Mar 10)
- Created full directory tree (`trading/`, `project/`, `knowledge/`, `memory/`, etc.) with parallel `topics/`‑`delivery/` structure.
- Published `knowledge/INDEX.md` as the central map of the knowledge system.
- Established cron jobs for weekly and daily reminders.

### 2. Morning‑Report Pipeline Optimization (Mar 11–12)
- Identified timeout root causes: browser automation stuck in ad‑tech frames, Tavily variable latency, sequential workflow.
- Implemented browser timeouts (`timeoutMs: 15000`), batched Tavily queries, concise cron payload.
- Defined data‑source decisions: AAStocks for ADR excess moves and ex‑dividend dates.
- Built VPN toolkit (`infrastructure/vpn/`) for proxy switching, tested Tavily with/without proxy.

### 3. Deep‑Dive Research (Mar 12)
- Explored index‑basis‑arbitrage business model, lifecycle, and bank advantages (stamp‑duty avoidance, cheap funding).
- Created `knowledge/trading/index‑basis‑arbitrage.md`.
- Launched sub‑agents for warrant‑market research (toxic flow, vol‑margin calibration, cash‑margin arbitrage).

### 4. Model & Session Configuration (Mar 14)
- Fixed model mismatch: updated `openclaw.json` to use `deepseek/deepseek‑reasoner` (was `deepseek‑chat`).
- Extended session‑maintenance settings (`pruneAfter: "90d"`, `maxEntries: 1000`, etc.) to preserve conversation history after restarts.

## Learnings
- **Token‑burn reduction**: Verbose prompts and browser snapshots can add >70k tokens; concise templates are essential.
- **Cache‑first logic**: Morning‑report generation must fall back to cached data when external sources timeout (AAStocks, Tavily).
- **Proxy advantage**: ADR data quality improves when fetched via US proxy (cleaner parsing, fewer geo‑blocks).
- **Session persistence**: `/restart` commands can discard previous session context; config tweaks can extend retention.

## Issues Resolved
- **Timeout hangs**: Added explicit timeouts to browser automation calls.
- **Empty reports**: Implemented fallback strategy (Tavily for ADR data when AAStocks times out).
- **Model mismatch**: Corrected agent model configuration to use reasoning‑optimized variant.
- **Session loss**: Extended session‑maintenance parameters to retain older sessions longer.

## Next Steps (Week Ahead)
1. **Implement timeout‑wrapper** for Tavily searches and browser automation.
2. **Set up cache‑refresh cron job** for ex‑dividend and other static data.
3. **Populate project‑specific `topics/` files** (warrant vol management, algo vol fitter, etc.).
4. **Test parallel subagents** for independent morning‑report sections.
5. **Monitor session persistence** after gateway restart with new config.
