# Receipt log after the session

After every live agent spend or place session, write down what ran (amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time) before you empty the sleeve or raise caps — a short receipt log beats memory when something looks wrong later. Pairs with review-before-place (gate), empty-sleeve-overnight, fund-session-ceiling, revoke-before-debug. Operator fields checklist — not a broker export product claim. Agent Lane does not place trades or hold wallets.

## Answer first

When a live agent spend or place session ends, write a short record of what ran — amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, and time — before you empty the sleeve or raise caps. Review before place shows the gate; the receipt log keeps the proof after you click.

## Why trusting memory after a live spend is the failure mode

- **The gate fields scroll away** — review showed the fields once; then chat moved, a retry fired, or you emptied the sleeve.
- **“It was fine” is not a receipt** — later dispute or weird fill needs fields, not a feeling.
- **Agent memory is not proof** — chat and saved prefs drift; they are not a session spend record — [agent-memory.md](./agent-memory.md).

Review shows the gate; the receipt keeps the proof after you click. Write the fields before you empty the sleeve or raise caps.

## What it means

1. Fields checklist — amount/notional, destination or symbol, asset, venue or network, connector or MCP, time.
2. After the click, before empty/raise — log first; then [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md) or raise only if planned.
3. You write it — paper, sheet, or note you control; do not invent broker export paths.
4. Same field family as review — [review-before-place.md](./review-before-place.md).
5. Paper vs live marked — [paper-before-live.md](./paper-before-live.md).

## Shield stack

1. [dedicated-agent-wallet.md](./dedicated-agent-wallet.md) — money the bot can reach.
2. [agent-spend-caps.md](./agent-spend-caps.md) — write the numbers.
3. [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md) — empty/park excess, fund only that ceiling.
4. [review-before-place.md](./review-before-place.md) — human gate at the desk.
5. Receipt log after the session (this page) — write what ran before empty/raise.
6. [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md) — park cash on end/idle.
7. [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md) — kill-and-isolate on incident.

## How to write the receipt log

1. End the live run deliberately — stop place/pay/sign; do not empty or raise until fields are written.
2. Write the fields — amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time.
3. Note paper vs live and any venue id the official page showed — do not invent export click-paths.
4. Keep the log off agent-editable memory alone — [agent-memory.md](./agent-memory.md).
5. Then empty/park or raise only if planned — [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md), [fund-session-ceiling.md](./fund-session-ceiling.md), [rotate-before-raise-balance.md](./rotate-before-raise-balance.md); reopen [one-connector-at-a-time.md](./one-connector-at-a-time.md).
6. If something looks wrong later — compare receipt to venue history on the official page; incident: [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md). Shared computer: [shared-box.md](./shared-box.md).

## Practical checklist

- End-of-session order — stop live places → write receipt → empty or park → prefer disconnect for overnight.
- Minimum fields — amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time.
- Not a product claim — you write the log; no invented broker export paths.
- Memory is not the receipt — pair with agent-memory hygiene.

## FAQ

**What does receipt log after the session mean?**
When a live agent spend or place run ends, write a short record of what ran — amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, and time — before you empty the sleeve or raise caps. Operator checklist, not a broker export product feature.

**Why is trusting memory the failure mode?**
Gate fields scroll away; caps and wallets do not reconstruct the session. A short receipt log is the proof you keep.

**What fields belong on the receipt?**
Amount or notional, destination or symbol, asset, venue or network, connector or MCP, time. Optional: paper vs live, venue-shown order/payment id.

**Replace review before place?**
No — review is the gate; receipt is the proof after you confirm.

**Broker export feature?**
No — you write the log. Do not invent product click-paths.

**Where in the shield stack?**
Wallet → caps → fund ceiling → review → receipt log → empty overnight. Incident: revoke before you debug.
