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 it with receipt log after the session, confirm fills in the broker, not chat, revoke connectors when idle, and empty the sleeve overnight.

Answer first
When an agent money session ends, write a short session end checklist before you walk away: confirm fills and balances in the broker or wallet UI (not chat), file the 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. 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 closing ritual on the shield — end-of-session proof that venue, receipt, connectors, and cash state were checked. Pair it with receipt log after the session, confirm fills in the broker, not chat, revoke connectors when idle, empty the sleeve overnight, session time-box, fund the session ceiling, kill switch before travel, and the shared-box checklist.
We are a publisher, not a trading desk. Product screens change; confirm fills and balances on the official page. We do not invent end-of-session menus or export click-paths. You write the checklist.
Why walking away without a written close is the failure mode
- Chat is not a close. Summaries scroll; agent claims lag or miss partials — confirm fills in the broker, not chat.
- Receipt alone is not enough. A receipt log proves what ran; it does not decide keep-or-revoke or empty the sleeve.
- Idle grants + leftover cash = overnight blast radius. Without a deliberate close, a stale connector beside a funded sleeve can still place while you are away — revoke when idle, empty overnight.
Receipt log files what ran. Confirm-fills checks venue truth. Session end checklist is the short written close that stacks those with connector keep-or-revoke and sleeve/ceiling state before you walk away.
What “log session end checklist” means
- You write it. Paper, sheet, or note you control — not agent-editable memory alone, and not an invented broker export.
- Fills confirmed in UI. Broker or wallet UI is source of truth — confirm fills in the broker, not chat.
- Receipts filed. Amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time — receipt log after the session.
- Connectors: keep or revoke. Keep only for a deliberate next run; otherwise revoke when idle.
- Sleeve/ceiling noted. Empty/parked, still funded to ceiling, or lowered — prefer empty overnight.
“I’ll check the broker later” and “the connector can stay connected overnight” are not a session end checklist. Unconfirmed fills plus idle grants plus leftover sleeve cash is how a quiet evening becomes an expensive morning.
Where it sits in the shield stack
- Dedicated agent wallet + spend caps — money and limits the bot can reach.
- Fund the session ceiling + session time-box — cash and clock for this run.
- Never skip review before place — human gate while the session is live.
- Confirm fills in the broker, not chat — venue truth after submit.
- Receipt log after the session — proof of what ran.
- Log session end checklist — written close: UI confirm + receipt + keep/revoke + sleeve/ceiling note.
- Revoke connectors when idle + empty the sleeve overnight — preferred default after the close.
Healthy close: stop placing → confirm in UI → file receipt → decide keep/revoke → note sleeve/ceiling → prefer empty + revoke for overnight. Skip the written close and leftover grants or cash can outlive the session.
How to run the session end checklist
- Stop placing deliberately. End the live place/pay/sign run. Do not empty, raise, or walk away until the checklist is written. Honor the session time-box if one was set.
- Confirm fills in the broker UI. Open the broker or wallet UI and confirm fills and balances there — confirm fills in the broker, not chat. Note mismatches before any next place.
- File the receipt log. Write amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, and time — receipt log after the session. You write it; do not invent a broker export path.
- Decide keep or revoke each connector. For each spend or trading connector still connected: keep only if a next run is deliberate; otherwise revoke connectors when idle.
- Note sleeve and ceiling state. Write whether the sleeve is empty/parked, still funded to the session ceiling, or lowered. Prefer empty the sleeve overnight beside live rails.
- Mismatch: stop and revoke before debug. If venue UI, receipt, or connector state mismatches what you expected: stop placing and revoke before you debug. Do not raise the sleeve first. Travel or long offline: kill switch before travel.
Practical checklist
- Stop → confirm UI → receipt → keep/revoke → sleeve note. That order before you walk away.
- Venue truth first. Broker/wallet UI, not chat.
- Receipt fields filed. Amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time.
- Idle default: revoke + empty. Keep connected or funded only for a deliberate next run.
- No invented UI. Official venue screens only; you write the checklist.
- Shared-box pass. Who can see the close note on a shared computer — see shared-box.
Brokerage path: Shield brokerage spend. On-chain pay: Shield crypto spend.

FAQ
- What does log session end checklist mean?
- It means: when an agent money session ends, write a short end-of-session checklist before you walk away — fills confirmed in the broker or wallet UI (not chat), receipts filed, connectors still needed or revoked, and sleeve/ceiling state noted. Pair with receipt log after the session, confirm fills in the broker, not chat, revoke connectors when idle, and empty the sleeve overnight.
- How is this different from receipt log after the session?
- Receipt log after the session is the proof of what ran — amount, destination, asset, venue, connector, time. Log session end checklist is the closing ritual that wraps that receipt with venue confirmation, connector keep-or-revoke, and sleeve/ceiling state so you do not leave live spend open by habit.
- Why is walking away without a written close the failure mode?
- Chat scrolls. Memory fades. A live connector and a funded sleeve can still place while you are idle. Without a written close — confirm in UI, file the receipt, decide keep or revoke, note sleeve/ceiling — overnight risk and next-session confusion stack up.
- Do I invent a broker end-of-session UI?
- No. Confirm fills and balances in the broker or wallet UI your product already shows. Write the checklist yourself (paper, sheet, or note you control). Agent Lane does not invent broker menus, export click-paths, or product screens.
- What belongs on the session end checklist?
- At minimum: fills/balances confirmed in broker or wallet UI; receipt fields filed; each spend/trading connector marked keep-for-next-run or revoked; sleeve/ceiling state noted (empty/parked, still funded to ceiling, or lowered). Optional: paper vs live mark, time-box ended, next planned reopen.
- Does the checklist replace empty-sleeve or revoke-when-idle?
- No. The checklist is the written close that reminds you to run those steps. Prefer empty/park the sleeve and revoke idle connectors unless you have a deliberate next run. The checklist records that you decided.
- Where do I apply this next?
- Venue truth: confirm fills in the broker, not chat. Proof: receipt log after the session. Idle grants: revoke connectors when idle. Cash overnight: empty the sleeve overnight. Clock: session time-box. Incident: revoke before you debug. Agent Lane publishes the checklist; we do not place trades or hold wallets.
