# Desk Trade Lifecycle

## L1 - Summary
The strict stage order every ticket follows: Lead (SCOUT), Audit (RISK), Context (WHALE plus SHILL), Ticket Creation (CHIEF), Human Approval, Single Buy (SNIPER), Monitor (RUG), Exit (EXIT), Journal (CHIEF plus EXIT). No stage may be skipped.

## L2 - Method
1. Run the stages in strict order:
   - Lead (SCOUT).
   - Audit (RISK).
   - Context (optional WHALE plus SHILL).
   - Ticket Creation (CHIEF): allocate with `pumpgrok ticket next`, write the proposal with `create`.
   - Human Approval: exact phrase with ticket ID, mint, size, and max slippage.
   - Single Buy (SNIPER).
   - Monitor (RUG).
   - Exit (EXIT).
   - Journal (CHIEF plus EXIT).
2. Ticket format is `SOL-YYYYMMDD-NNN`. Generate only via:
```bash
pumpgrok ticket next
pumpgrok ticket create --mint <MINT> --ticket <LEAD-ID> --status PENDING_HUMAN
```
3. Ticket operations run through the `pumpgrok ticket` verbs; the retired root-oracle `ticket_helper.py` spellings are gone with `tools/` (05-08).

## Failure modes
- Skipped stage: the ticket returns to the skipped stage; nothing downstream counts.
- SNIPER acting on a non-APPROVED ticket: refused.
- Size or mint changed after human approval: the approval is void; re-approve.
