Never re-centring did about as well in three-day holds (-0.7%), where a +-30% range seldom needs a re-centre, but it leaves a position holding its falling token idle and wholly exposed for good; a re-centre puts it back around the price, about half in ETH or USDG, earning fees, so case (a) keeps its daily adjustment. On 2026-09-29 the source vault re-centred WETH/CHUMP 0.6% past the bound where it held only WETH; CHUMP fell 40% against WETH within two hours, and the re-centre cost $15.74 against leaving it. LIVE (v1.7.3): in the first 66 hours of v1.7.2, 4 of 38 re-centres on this chain moved a position that held only ETH, WETH or USDG while the action said it held its risk token (each checked on the position's own token amounts).

This chain's best RAPTOR-X vault compounded once in 2,300 actions over 30 days. In the week to 27 September, vaults here compounding 5%+ of their actions trailed holding ETH by a median -10.6% against -2.2% for the rest (n=6 and 56, PAMAN left out); on the sister BSC chain, where positions gained on the native coin that week, compounding did better, and it keeps v1.7's rule. adjust_range already collects and reinvests a position's fees, and withdraw_and_swap already harvests. Do not promise zero swap, slippage or residuals. research/2026-09-26-raptor-vs-paman/README.md.", "feasibility": "The executor caps a transaction fee near 30% of the value an action moves (a $0.466 harvest was refused with 'Maximum allowed transaction fee is $0.138 but actual transaction cost is $0.670'). With measured p90 harvest gas of $0.47 on this chain, no harvest executes below about $1.59 of pending fees whatever the position is worth; harvest.rule also waits for fees >= 7% of position value (the framework line, kept as a batching rule), so the two coincide above a position of about $23. harvest.minimum_fees_usd is set to $1.80, just above the executor floor with margin, so this file never proposes a harvest the executor will refuse; on larger positions the 7% batching line, not this minimum, decides when to bank. Before proposing a harvest, SUM the USD value of every pending-fee token on that position, compare the sum to both gates, and state the sum in the plan. Rank candidate positions by that sum, highest first, and never propose a harvest on a position whose sum is below the gate while another position clears it. In that run an older position holding $2.69 of fees was ignored. harvest takes no input amount; never write one into the scenario." }, "costs": { "historical_baseline_usd": { "adjust_range": 0.88, "compound": 0.47, "harvest": 0.47, "swap_and_increase": 0.58, "swap_and_mint": 1.06, "withdraw_and_swap": 0.8 }, "baseline_observed_date": "2026-09-11", "reward_fee_assumption_fraction": 0.1, "rule": "Krystal documents 10% of generated rewards for Auto-Farm Vaults and no separate automation/zap/rebalance fee inside the vault.

The previous release assumed $1.50/$1.20/$1.80/$1.50/$0.70 - between 1.6x and 2.8x too high, which made every cost-derived gate stricter than reality warranted.

Reconcile the pending outcome and refresh state first. A rejection naming a saved limit (for example \"position value exceeds maxValuePerStrategy\") is settings-bound: never retried in any form until the operand it names has changed. Otherwise a FAILED (action type, position) pair may be retried once within 24h (Action History carries no error text, so the cause cannot be read); a second failure quarantines the pair for 24h, read per data.history (d): report EXECUTION_QUARANTINE and take the next eligible action in actions.plan. When nothing else is eligible and 24h cannot be shown, one more try is allowed; a third visible failure of the pair leaves it alone until those entries leave the view. Three failures of one action type on ANY positions in 24h lock that type vault-wide for 24h: report ACTION_TYPE_LOCKOUT; cycling one action across positions is the observed evasion. Exits under a measured exit.RED clause are exempt from this vault-wide lock (each position still gets at most two tries): in a crash several exits can fail at once on thin liquidity, and a lock would stop every other emergency exit for a day. A verified amount/target mismatch pauses mints and increases per amounts.revalidation, never longer than 24h.

Replayed with measured fees under v1.7.2's other rules it gave -1.0% per 3-day position against -1.2% at the platform's own widths, a day in range cost 3.0% instead of 5.0%, and a position needed 0.14 re-centres instead of 0.61 (research/2026-09-30-rh-review/v172-evidence.txt).
