# Log session end checklist

End every agent money session with a short written checklist — fills confirmed in the broker UI, receipts filed, connectors still needed or revoked, sleeve/ceiling state noted. Pair with receipt-log-after-session, confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat, revoke-connectors-when-idle, and empty-sleeve-overnight. Agent Lane does not place trades, invent broker UI, or write your checklist.

## Answer first

When an agent money session ends, write a short session end checklist before you walk away: confirm fills/balances in the broker or wallet UI (not chat), file receipt fields, mark each spend connector keep or revoke, and note sleeve/ceiling state. Caps and review gate the run; the written close stops leftover grants and cash from sitting open overnight.

## Why walking away without a written close is the failure mode

- **Chat is not a close** — summaries scroll; claims lag or miss partials — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).
- **Receipt alone is not enough** — [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md) proves what ran; it does not decide keep-or-revoke or empty the sleeve.
- **Idle grants + leftover cash = overnight blast radius** — [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md), [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md).

## What it means

1. You write it (paper/sheet/note you control) — no invented broker export.
2. Fills confirmed in broker/wallet UI — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).
3. Receipts filed — amount/destination/asset/venue/connector/time — [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md).
4. Connectors: keep only for a deliberate next run; else revoke — [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md).
5. Sleeve/ceiling noted — prefer empty overnight — [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md).

## Shield stack

1. [dedicated-agent-wallet.md](./dedicated-agent-wallet.md) + caps / [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md) + [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md).
2. [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md) while live.
3. [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md) after submit.
4. [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md) for proof.
5. Log session end checklist (this page) — written close.
6. Prefer [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md) + [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md).
7. Incident → [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md); travel → [kill-switch-before-travel.md](./kill-switch-before-travel.md).

## How to run the session end checklist

1. Stop placing deliberately — honor [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md) if set.
2. Confirm fills in broker UI — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md).
3. File receipt — [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md).
4. Keep or revoke each connector — [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md).
5. Note sleeve/ceiling — prefer [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md).
6. Mismatch → [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md); long offline → [kill-switch-before-travel.md](./kill-switch-before-travel.md).

## Practical checklist

- Stop → confirm UI → receipt → keep/revoke → sleeve note.
- Venue truth first (broker/wallet UI, not chat).
- Receipt fields filed.
- Idle default: revoke + empty.
- Official paths only — no invented end-of-session UI.

## FAQ

**What does log session end checklist mean?**
When an agent money session ends, write a short close: fills confirmed in broker/wallet UI, receipts filed, connectors keep-or-revoke, sleeve/ceiling noted. Pair with receipt-log, confirm-fills, revoke-when-idle, empty-sleeve-overnight.

**How is this different from receipt log after the session?**
Receipt = proof of what ran. Session end checklist = closing ritual wrapping receipt with UI confirm, keep/revoke, and sleeve/ceiling state.

**Do I invent a broker end-of-session UI?**
No. Confirm on official venue screens; you write the checklist. Agent Lane does not invent UI.
