How is this different from revoke before you debug?

Revoke before you debug is the incident kill order when a live path misfires — disconnect, lock, empty, revoke, then dig. Flatten all before connector revoke is the pre-revoke risk gate: clear working orders and open exposure in the broker UI before you cut the agent path, so you do not orphan risk.

How is this different from revoke connectors when idle?

Revoke connectors when idle is the idle/session-end grant close. Flatten all before connector revoke is the order of operations before that revoke (or any intentional disconnect): flatten or cancel in the venue UI first, then revoke.

How is this different from flatten before news you cannot size?

Flatten before news is the catalyst rule — flatten or cut before binaries you cannot size. This page is the connector-lifecycle rule — flatten or cancel before you revoke the agent path so orphan working risk cannot outlive the connector.

How is this different from empty the sleeve overnight or kill switch before travel?

Empty the sleeve overnight parks spendable cash when the run ends. Kill switch before travel is the travel/offline composite. This page is specifically: clear working risk in the broker UI before you revoke or disconnect the live connector.

Do I invent a flatten-then-revoke broker UI?

No. Use official venue position and order screens you already control, plus your written flatten-then-revoke rule. Agent Lane does not invent revoke dashboards, flatten menus, or Agentic click-paths.

Does this replace confirm cancel or one cancel one confirm?

No. Confirm cancel in the broker not chat is the truth source for cancel/flat claims. One cancel one confirm is the cadence. This page is when those steps must finish before connector revoke. You need the stack.

Where do I apply this next?

Before any intentional revoke or disconnect of a live trading or spend connector: check opens and working orders in the broker UI, flatten or cancel per the named plan, confirm in the broker not chat, then revoke. Agent Lane publishes the checklist; we do not place trades or invent broker UI.

Flatten all before connector revoke

Before you revoke or disconnect a live trading or spend connector, flatten or cancel working risk in the broker UI first — revoke without flattening can leave orphan working orders or open exposure you can no longer manage through the agent path. Pair it with revoke before you debug, revoke connectors when idle, confirm cancel in the broker, not chat, one cancel, one confirm, empty the sleeve overnight, and kill switch before travel.

Answer first

Before any intentional revoke or disconnect of a live trading or spend connector: inventory opens and working orders in the official broker UI. Flatten or cancel that working risk. Confirm cancel or flat in the broker, not chat. Only then revoke the connector. Revoke-first with open risk can orphan orders and exposure outside the agent path. Agent Lane publishes the checklist. We do not place trades, hold wallets, invent broker UI, or run your agents.

What this page is

A short operator guide for the pre-revoke flatten gate on the shield — flatten all before connector revoke — so cutting the agent path does not leave orphan working orders or open exposure you can no longer manage through that connector. Pair it with revoke before you debug, revoke connectors when idle, confirm cancel in the broker, not chat, one cancel, one confirm, empty the sleeve overnight, kill switch before travel, flatten before news you cannot size, log session end checklist, and the shared-box checklist.

We are a publisher, not a trading desk. Product screens change; use official venue order and position screens and your written notes. We do not invent revoke dashboards or Agentic click-paths. You flatten or cancel in the broker UI, then revoke.

Flatten all before connector revoke in plain terms

Inventory first — opens and working orders from the official venue UI, not chat.
Flatten or cancel working risk — close exposure the agent path was managing before you cut the connector.
Confirm in the broker — confirm cancel in the broker, not chat; cadence via one cancel, one confirm.
Then revoke — idle grants and intentional disconnects come after risk is clear (or explicitly held under a written non-agent plan).

Revoke before you debug is the incident kill order. Revoke connectors when idle is the idle grant close. Flatten before news is the catalyst rule. Empty the sleeve parks cash. Kill switch covers travel. Flatten all before connector revoke is the order-of-operations gate: clear working risk in the broker UI before you cut the agent path.

Why revoke-first is the failure mode

Orphan working orders. Limits and stops still live at the venue after the agent connector is gone — you lost the path you used to manage them — confirm cancel in the broker, not chat, one cancel, one confirm.
Open exposure without the agent path. Revoke does not flatten positions. Exposure remains until you close it in the broker UI — empty the sleeve overnight parks cash; it does not close amplified opens.
Confused with incident revoke. Mid-misfire you may need revoke before debug fast — still treat residual venue risk in the broker UI; do not assume disconnect equals flat.
Idle revoke without inventory. Ending the session and revoking idle grants without checking working tickets leaves overnight orphans — revoke connectors when idle, kill switch before travel.

“I’ll just revoke the connector — we’re done” while working orders or opens still sit at the venue is not a clean close. Revoke without flatten is how orphan risk outlives the agent path you used to manage it.

Where it sits in the shield stack

Confirm cancel in the broker, not chat — cancel/flat truth source.
One cancel, one confirm — cancel cadence before the next place or size change.
Flatten all before connector revoke — clear working risk in the venue UI before you cut the agent path.
Revoke connectors when idle — idle/session-end grant close after risk is handled.
Empty the sleeve overnight — park spendable cash when the run ends.
Kill switch before travel — travel/offline composite.
Revoke before you debug — incident kill order when a live path misfires (still clear residual venue risk in the broker UI).
Log session end checklist — record flatten, confirms, and revoke.

Healthy flow: inventory opens/working orders → flatten or cancel → confirm in broker UI → then revoke idle/disconnect → park sleeve → travel kill-switch if leaving → journal. Skip the flatten and revoke alone will orphan risk outside the agent path.

How to run flatten all before connector revoke

Inventory opens and working orders in the venue UI. Official screens only — not chat. Know what the connector can still touch.
Flatten or cancel working risk first. Close or cancel exposure the agent path was managing. Use one cancel, one confirm.
Confirm flat / cancel in the broker, not chat. Confirm cancel in the broker, not chat; fills via confirm fills in the broker, not chat.
Then revoke or disconnect the connector. Idle close: revoke connectors when idle. Incident path: revoke before you debug — still treat residual venue risk in the UI.
Park cash and close the session if ending the run. Empty the sleeve overnight; leaving → kill switch before travel.
Journal what you flattened and what you revoked. Journal every override; session close on log session end checklist.

Practical checklist

Opens and working orders inventoried in the official venue UI.
Working risk flattened or canceled before revoke.
Cancel/flat confirmed in the broker — not chat.
One cancel → one confirm cadence respected.
Then revoke idle grants or intentional disconnect.
Distinct from incident revoke-before-debug, idle revoke, news flatten, empty-sleeve cash park, and travel kill-switch.
Sleeve parked if the session is ending.
Flatten + revoke journaled.
No invented UI. Official tickets and your notes; you enforce.
Shared-box pass. Who can revoke on a shared computer — see shared-box.
