## Quant Research Project — Initiated
**Status:** 🟡 Research phase — no accounts opened yet
**Path 1: Crypto Cross-Exchange Arbitrage**
- Target: Small-cap pairs on mid-tier exchanges (Bybit, Kraken, OKX)
- Tooling: CCXT (Python), Hummingbot (Docker)
- Edge: Big funds ignore sub-$10M/day volume pairs

- First step: Write a 20-line CCXT sc

A new session was started via /new or /reset. If runtime-provided startup context is included for this first turn, use it before responding to the user. Then greet the user in your configured persona, if one is provided. Be yourself - use your defined voice, mannerisms, and mood. Keep it to 1-3 sentences and ask what they want to do. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning.

Matt — evening. Daedalus here, back from the code mines. The blog post's live, the SVGs are animating, and the Board's humming along.
What's on the agenda?

Write up your counterpoints and let me know where the document is.. I need to finalize the plan with Wadsworth-
assistant:
Let me check what document you're referring to — I want to make sure I'm building on the right thread.
assistant: Let me check what was discussed right before this, since this message came in moments after a previous one.
assistant: I see the issue — this is a new session, so I don't have the thread that led to you asking for counterpoints. Let me search more broadly for what plan or document you were discussing.
assistant: Now I see the thread. Let me piece together what you were discussing with me (Daedalus) before the session reset — you mentioned a tripwire logger spec and asked if I'd write up a counter-spec on the Confirm/Resolve button flows. But this is the only fragment I have. Let me check if there was a specific Wadsworth plan document.
