The Activity log

Activity is the book's audit log: every desk session, order, fill, verdict, setting change, alert and sign-in, newest first, grouped by day in Chicago time. Nothing here is ever edited after the fact and nothing is left out. Each line is one sentence built from the stored facts ("Posture changed from Moderate to Speculative", "Bought 19.03 AAPL at $332.50 ($6,326)", "The 12:00 intraday check was missed"); a second, quieter clause after it adds the one thing worth knowing next ("6 limits raised", "2¢ a share worse than the price when sent", "nothing ran it within its 5-minute window"). On a phone the clause sits under the sentence. Someone viewing your book read only sees the same log.

The badges

The pill at the end of a row says what kind of thing happened; the tabs above the log filter by it.

• Agent is one desk session: which check it was (morning plan, intraday check, end-of-day check, daily review, research brief, second opinion, wake-up check, Consult answer, Quant run; the same names the Agent screen uses), how it ended, how many steps it took and what it spent in model time. The model that ran it is in the technical detail.
• Proposal and Verdict are an order the desk proposed and what the rules or you decided about it; Approval is your own approve or turn-down. A row that is waiting on you is the only one drawn in orange.
• Order and Fill are what went to the broker and what came back: "Buy order sent for 19.03 AAPL at $332.90 or better", then "Bought 19.03 AAPL at $332.50 ($6,326)". A fill shows how it compared with the price when the order was sent, in cents a share. A cancelled order says who cancelled it and why: Bellwether because trading was halted or its window ended, Bellwether to honour your guidance, the desk withdrawing it, or you.
• Stop is a protective stop resting at the broker (the backstop behind Bellwether's own stop-watch): "Protective stop set on AAPL at $306.94", with the size and how far below the fill it sits. It is not a sale; it sells only if the price falls to it. Its whole-share and fractional legs are one row ("2 legs").
• Setting is a setting change: a posture switch, a limit raised or tightened, a guidance note, a watchlist edit, an accepted Quant suggestion. Halt is trading halted or resumed, by you or by a rule.
• Alert is something for you: an approval waiting, a protective exit that did not fill, a scheduled check that did not run, a guidance step that could not apply. Opening it says how much it matters ("worth a look", "for you to know") and, where something did not happen, what happens next. Notice is housekeeping told at its true weight (a session note shortened to fit, end-of-day books written, a data refresh): recorded, grey, never orange, "for the record".
• Event is a market or book event the desk was woken for ("IWM in the news, “Nasdaq 100 slips…”", "NVDA is close to its stop at $118.20"). A headline is quoted exactly as the source wrote it. Sign-in is you signing in, or a failed attempt.

Tickers in a row are drawn as the symbol tag everywhere; open the row for the symbol's own chip (price, ask, filter).

One row per change

Things written together read as one line. Switching posture writes the posture change and each limit it moved; the log shows "Posture changed from Moderate to Speculative" with "6 limits raised" after it, and opening it lists the six limits by name with their before and after values ("Orders per day 20 → 200", "Largest order $1,000 → $4,000"). The same holds when a scheduled guidance step or the Quant moved the posture. The folded rows are still in the log and still in the download; they are simply read under the row that caused them, and a row's group is never split between two pages.

Opening a row

Click a row (or press Enter on it) to open it. The row's sentence and clause wrap in full, then the panel lists the plain facts (who did it, whether your code was asked, the size, the thesis in the PM's own words, the rule that turned an order down, what happens next), the rows written with it, and links to the session's reasoning or the proposal where there is one. At the end sits Technical detail, closed until you open it: the event code, storage keys, ids, the UTC instant and raw values as recorded, in monospace, each id with a Copy button. That is the only place codes and ids appear on this screen; quote them when you report a problem. Nothing in the open row is shortened.

Links that land on a row

A fill marker on the Overview chart, an alert row, or a "see the change" link after a save open Activity on the right tab with that row already open, scrolled into view and ringed for a moment (with reduced motion the scroll is instant and the ring stays until you touch the page). If the row is older than what has loaded, the screen says so and offers to keep looking in older rows; if the row is not in this log at all, it says that too. Choosing Filter activity on any symbol's chip narrows what is loaded to rows that mention that symbol.

Download

Download the log saves what the current tab shows as a spreadsheet, newest first (up to 5,000 rows), one line per stored row. The first columns are the ones every earlier download had, in the same order: the UTC time, the kind, the row's id, the sentence, its clause (headed "summary"), who, symbol, severity and the technical data. The badge and the event code are added at the end, so a sheet you built on an older download keeps working. Folded rows are separate lines in the file.
