Manual · controlling boundary

Research here. Trade elsewhere.

Pi Sparkles is an evidence, calculation, planning, simulation, and review product. Order entry and lifecycle management belong entirely to the user’s separate trading means.

Non-negotiable rules

The boundary applies to every tier and every market.

  • No plugin can place, route, cancel, replace, or otherwise mutate a paper or live order.
  • Bid/offer interaction and brokerage order management stay outside the plugin boundary; users act through separate means.
  • Credentials are read at runtime from the caller environment and are never product files, defaults, logs, receipts, or persisted plugin state.
  • A provider must be selected explicitly. Failure never triggers silent fallback to another provider or market track.
  • Market observations and research are evidence, not investment, legal, accounting, or tax advice.
  • T6 reviews CN, HK, and US transaction-tape capability packets independently; Futu OpenD, Alpaca, IBKR, provider SDKs or gateways, credentials, login state, entitlements, and live certification remain explicit external dependencies.

Allowed vs out of scope

Planning is not execution.

Inside the product

Evidence and review

Resolve identities, read supported market and document sources, inspect receipts, calculate, screen, compare, plan, run deterministic simulations, journal, import bounded holdings, and reconcile caller-owned execution receipts.

Outside the product

Broker interaction

Obtain executable bid/offer from a brokerage endpoint, place or route orders, cancel or replace them, mutate paper or live state, manage brokerage sessions, or persist write-capable credentials.

T6 truth

Complete core does not turn a provider into a bundled dependency.

T6 independently validates bounded CN, HK, and US transaction-tape capability packets: exact market scope and rights, sequence domains, gap/reset and recovery, correction semantics, provider and exchange clocks, conditions, session coverage, backpressure, unsubscribe, shutdown, and limitations.

External providers remain the caller’s explicit responsibility. Futu OpenD, Alpaca, IBKR, their SDKs or gateways, credentials, login state, entitlements, and live certification do not ship with 0.1.5. The provider path must be selected explicitly, and every order action stays outside the product.

T6 never requests a live stock quote, bid, offer, or order book through a shipped adapter. A provider umbrella name such as Futu’s quote:read is that vendor’s API label; it does not broaden the product surface. The stock_order_book tool accepts caller-supplied observations only.

Trust and credentials

The extension is trusted local code.

  • A Pi extension runs with the user's full permissions. Treat the installed package as trusted local application code, not a sandbox.
  • Only supported, content-locked npm releases should be used. Verify registry integrity and the included SHA256SUMS against release-lock.json.
  • The package pins pdfjs-dist so the CN PDF path can resolve CMap assets at runtime. Pi host libraries stay as required peer ranges and are not bundled.
  • There are no npm lifecycle scripts. Packaging never reads credential values.
  • Report suspected vulnerabilities privately to the repository owner. Revoke any exposed credential before sending a redacted report.

Cancelling is not trading

Lifecycle cleanup stays inside the product.

Cancelling a bounded data acquisition or subscription is request cleanup. It is not an order cancellation. Provider-owned account and order state is never plugin-owned state; it is observed through receipts and reconciled explicitly after the user acts elsewhere.
