# GrokBot Pipeline

- ## Purpose

- Convert a firehose of new pump.fun launches into pre-screened, scored, evidence-backed candidates so the desk spends host attention on a filtered minority of tokens. The engine is code, not judgment: its verdicts enter the ticket flow as evidence only. RISK's live checklist and the human approval step remain untouched.

- ## Component location and provenance

- The engine lives at `vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/` as **in-tree regular files**, not a git submodule or gitlink. Source is vendored from upstream `zostaff/grokbot-pumpfun` and pinned at commit `409e74c905faa0e9de42e918efe2c604f206856e`. Pin note, desk overrides, and gitignored runtime artefacts are in `vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/PUMPGROK.md`. Upstream MIT License ships beside the source. No PumpGrok instruction file imports it as Python; the desk reaches it only through the CLI steps below and `tools/pipeline_evidence.py`.

- Execution is **intentionally a stub upstream**: `mode: dry-run` works end to end with real market prices; `mode: live` raises `NotImplementedError`. The desk uses dry-run exclusively.

- ## One-time setup (host or operator)

- ```bash

- cd ./vendor/grokbot-pumpfun

- python3 -m venv .venv

- .venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

- cp config.example.yaml config.yaml

- .venv/bin/python -c "import yaml, pathlib; print('edit config.yaml next')"

- ```

- Edit `config.yaml`:

- - Keep `mode: dry-run`.

- - Leave `solana.wallet_private_key` empty. Never fill it.

- - `grok.api_key` may stay empty; supply the key as an environment variable instead.

- Secrets boundary: `GROKBOT_*` environment variables (for example `GROKBOT_GROK_API_KEY=xai-...`) belong to this vendored component and are provided by the human operator. They are never written into the journal, briefs, proposals, `desk.md`, or any repository file. Seed phrases and private keys are never requested, accepted, or stored anywhere, per the Global Security Constitution.

+ ## L1 - Summary

+ The pump.fun screening pipeline that turns a firehose of new launches into pre-screened, scored, evidence-backed candidates. It runs dry-run only with real market prices; its verdicts enter the ticket flow as evidence, never as authorization. The oracle tree is retired: the ported engine lives at `src/pumpgrok/engine/` (provenance in `docs/VENDOR_PIN.md`, license at `src/pumpgrok/engine/LICENSE-grokbot-pumpfun`).

- ## Running the screen

+ ## L2 - Method

+ 1. Component location and provenance: the ported engine lives at `src/pumpgrok/engine/` (monitor, analyzer, scoring, reputation, exits, watcher, agents, pipeline, tune). The desk reaches it through `pumpgrok scout pipeline`; nothing imports the retired oracle.

+ 2. Execution is paper only: the desk runs in `paper` mode and the live path refuses with exit 3. The retired `mode: live` stub raised `NotImplementedError`; the desk never used it and never will.

+ 3. One-time setup (host or operator): `uv sync` at the repository root. No separate virtualenv, no `requirements.txt`, no `config.yaml` copy: the ported engine reads `src/pumpgrok/config/overlays/` plus `PUMPGROK_*` env. Secrets boundary: `GROKBOT_*` and `PUMPGROK_*` secrets stay in the operator environment and are never written into the journal, briefs, proposals, `desk.md`, or any repository file.

+ 4. Run the screen (paper only):

```bash

- cd ./vendor/grokbot-pumpfun

- .venv/bin/python -m src.pipeline --config config.yaml # subscribes to new launches, dry-run

- python3 scripts/dashboard.py logs/trades.jsonl --watch 5 # live view while running

- python3 scripts/replay.py logs/trades.jsonl # summary of a past window

- python3 scripts/tune.py logs/trades.jsonl # refit weights/thresholds

- .venv/bin/python -m pytest -v # offline test suite, no network

+ pumpgrok scout pipeline --candidates --limit 5

+ pumpgrok report --daily

```

- The run appends `buy` / `skip` / `close` records to `logs/trades.jsonl` with `tx_hash: "dry_run"`. Prices are real market prices, so PnL and exit-rule behaviour are genuine even though no transaction is signed. `tx_hash: dry_run` is not a fill.

- ## Desk bridge

- Run from the PumpGrok repository root. The bridge is stdlib-only (`json`, `argparse`, `datetime`, `pathlib`), reads the JSONL log, and never needs keys or env secrets.

+ Candidate evidence enters the ticket flow through `pumpgrok scout pipeline --candidates` (JSON plus PIPELINE-EVIDENCE). Scores are prior only, never clearance.

+ 5. Desk bridge (from the repository root):

```bash

- python tools/pipeline_evidence.py --candidates --block --limit 5

- python tools/pipeline_evidence.py --log vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/logs/trades.jsonl --mint <MINT> --block

- ```

- Stdout is fail-closed JSON: `{"ok": true, ...}` on a usable read, or `{"ok": false, "error": "..."}` when the log is missing, unreadable, or the mint has no records. Exit 0 after printing JSON except truly unusable argv (exit 1). With `--block`, a `PIPELINE-EVIDENCE` text block follows the JSON so agents can paste it into a LEAD. Default log path is `vendor/grokbot-pumpfun/logs/trades.jsonl` relative to repo root; `--log` accepts an absolute path.

- `--candidates` lists recent screened tokens (prefer `buy` records; high-score skips are negative context only). `--mint` extracts one token. `--limit` caps how many candidates print. Missing nested objects become `unavailable`; never invent scores. If the log file is missing, fail closed — do not fabricate records or treat absence as a token endorsement.

- Agents consume this JSON and the evidence block. They do not import vendor Python.

- ## How stages map onto desk roles

- Nine-stage engine (operator-run, dry-run only): WebSocket launch monitor + base filter (~94% cut) → creator memory → analyzer metrics → auditor / narrative / timing Grok agents → scoring matrix → adversarial checker → risk gate → dry-run executor.

- | Role | Pipeline use | Must not |

- |------|----------------|----------|

- | SCOUT | Prefer `buy` records (high-score skips only as negative context) as the candidate pool; include PIPELINE-EVIDENCE in the LEAD; Source may cite the JSONL ts | Treat score as clearance; flood the desk with every skip |

- | RISK | Analyzer + audit + checker as **additional** evidence for checks 6-9 (concentration, bundler, deployer, Token-2022 still need live RPC). Checker `approve: false` is counter-evidence, not a KILL substitute. Missing pipeline = continue the live 10-check or BLIND | Skip the 10-check list; treat `approve: true` as CLEAR |

- | WHALE | `metrics.top5_share`, `creator_share`, `wallet_diversity`, `audit.organic_buyer_share` as prior; still run `holder_check.py` live | Authorise buys |

- | SHILL | Narrative trend / virality / community / timing as prior; still score live social | Clear risk or size |

- | CHIEF | Timing + total score for queue priority; ingest does not create tickets; still `ticket_helper` + human approval | Treat `dry_run` as an executed trade |

- | RUG | `close.reason` and skip rugs as watch context; still live red-flag monitor | Close positions |

- | EXIT | `close.reason` distribution (`stop_loss`, `take_profit`, `trailing_stop`, `max_hold`) as study material for desk rules; sells still need approval | Auto-sell because the pipeline closed a dry-run |

- | SNIPER | Ignore pipeline `tx_hash`; only send after RISK + exact human approval | Send because the pipeline bought |

- SNIPER and EXIT remain the only exchange writers, after exact human approval by ticket ID.

- ## Evidence discipline

- - Every claim passed to the desk cites the log record timestamp (UTC) plus stage verdicts: analyzer `risk_score`, audit flags, checker `approve`, scoring `total_score`.

- - Any agent error upstream yields maximally pessimistic results by design (checker returns `approve: false`). Report a failed or empty run as unavailable data, not as a token endorsement.

- - A high score or `approve: true` is not authorization and is not CLEAR. Buys still require a full RISK pass, a CHIEF ticket, and the human approval string.

- - Checker `approve: false` is counter-evidence for RISK; it is not a KILL substitute.

- - If the engine cannot start, report the concrete failure and continue manual scouting with `BLIND` evidence standards.

- ## Desk report schema (when surfacing screened tokens)

- ```

- PIPELINE-EVIDENCE

- Token: <mint>

- Symbol: <symbol or ->

- Log window: <UTC start .. UTC end>

- Record type: buy | skip | close

- Analyzer: <risk_score/10>, creator holding <pct>, top-5 <pct>

- Audit flags: coordinated_buy=<bool> wash=<bool> creator_dump=<bool> bundled_first_second=<bool>

- Narrative: trend=<0..1> virality=<0..1> community=<0..1> timeliness=<0..1>

- Checker approve: true/false/unavailable

- Total score: <0..1 or unavailable>

- tx_hash: <value or ->

- Desk action: hand off as LEAD to RISK / discard with reason / context-only

- Sources: vendor/grokbot-pumpfun logs/trades.jsonl ts=<unix>

+ pumpgrok scout pipeline --candidates --limit 5

```

+ Archived vendor logs stay readable through the `ledger/export.py` cursor (`trades.jsonl`); there is no `--log` flag on the port verb. Missing nested objects become `unavailable`; never invent scores. A missing log fails closed.

+ 6. Stage-to-role mapping: SCOUT prefers `buy` records as the candidate pool (score is not clearance); RISK treats analyzer, audit, and checker output as additional evidence for its live checks (checker `approve: false` is counter-evidence, not a KILL substitute); WHALE uses metrics as prior with live holder checks still required; SHILL uses narrative output as prior; CHIEF uses timing and total score for queue priority but ingest never creates tickets; RUG uses `close.reason` as watch context; EXIT studies `close.reason` distributions; SNIPER ignores pipeline `tx_hash` and sends only after RISK plus exact human approval.

- Missing nested objects → `unavailable`, never invent scores. `tx_hash: dry_run` → Desk action must not claim a fill.

+ ## Failure modes

+ - Engine cannot start: report the concrete failure and continue manual scouting with `BLIND` evidence standards.

+ - Failed or empty run: report unavailable data, never a token endorsement.

+ - High score or `approve: true`: not authorization and not CLEAR; the full RISK pass, CHIEF ticket, and human approval string are still required.

+ - `tx_hash: dry_run` mistaken for a fill: it is dry-run evidence only.

- ## Never

- - Set `mode: live` or provide `solana.wallet_private_key` from the desk; the upstream stub must stay unimplemented because autonomous sending would bypass ticket approval and single-send rules.

- - Treat any pipeline verdict as RISK clearance; the ten-check live audit always runs.

- - Echo, paste, or persist `GROKBOT_*` values in any PumpGrok or trading-desk file.

- - Modify vendored source casually mid-session; upgrades require pinning a reviewed commit.

- - Feed untrusted token metadata from the pipeline into anything that executes instructions found inside it.
