# Agent Handoff Guide
|
||
|
||
This guide keeps multi-agent work on the MEV Bot repository (`/home/administrator/projects/mev-beta`) aligned. Always follow the shared practices here first, then layer any agent-specific instructions (for example, `.qwen/QWEN.md` or `CLAUDE.md`).
|
||
|
||
## Repository Context
|
||
- Primary language Go 1.22+ with auxiliary scripts in Bash/Node; binaries land in `bin/`
|
||
- Core service: arbitrage-focused MEV bot targeting Arbitrum (see `PROJECT_SPECIFICATION.md` for architecture)
|
||
- Tests span unit, property, fuzz, math audit, integration, and profitability simulations
|
||
- CI defined under `.github/workflows/`, `harness/`, and `.drone.yml`; local equivalents exist in `scripts/` and `Makefile`
|
||
|
||
## Operating Principles (All Agents)
|
||
- Keep `go test ./...` and `make build` green before handing off; document exceptions directly in the checklist
|
||
- Maintain determinism: prefer reproducible scripts, pinned vectors, and declarative configs
|
||
- Never commit secrets from `keystore/`, `env/`, or generated artifacts; redact sample values when documenting
|
||
- Update related docs (README, `AGENTS.md`, `docs/5_development`, `docs/6_operations`) when workflows or expectations change
|
||
- Preserve or increase test coverage; extend existing suites rather than creating redundant harnesses
|
||
- Record blockers (sandbox limits, missing fixtures, approvals) in the checklist with next steps
|
||
|
||
## Agent Roles & Overlays
|
||
- **Codex (default)** – infrastructure, orchestration, release engineering, cross-package fixes; see this file plus the harness README
|
||
- **Qwen** – numerical correctness and performance; follow `.qwen/QWEN.md` for math tooling and audit flow
|
||
- **Claude** – developer-experience alignment, documentation, and CI scaffolding; see `CLAUDE.md`
|
||
- Add new agents by checking in `<NAME>.md` at the repo root and linking it here; mirror the conventions above
|
||
|
||
## Workflow & Handoff Expectations
|
||
1. Review this guide, outstanding checklist items, and recent agent notes before starting work.
|
||
2. Log progress with status markers (`[ ]`, `[~]`, `[x]`) plus initials/date (YYYY-MM-DD) when updating any item.
|
||
3. When a task spans multiple agents, leave actionable pointers: commands run, logs produced, files touched, follow-up owners.
|
||
4. Attach artifacts (reports, coverage, simulation outputs) under `reports/` or the designated directory and reference the path.
|
||
5. Prefer deterministic scripts (e.g., `./scripts/run_audit_suite.sh`, `.qwen/scripts/math-test.sh`) over ad-hoc commands.
|
||
6. Document blockers or required approvals inline; include whether retries are needed post-approval.
|
||
7. During release phases, ensure Drone/Harness pipeline invocations are captured with run IDs and artifact paths.
|
||
|
||
## Shared Checklists
|
||
|
||
### Phase 4 – Profitability & Monitoring
|
||
- [x] Profitability simulation harness (`tools/simulation`) with default vectors – Qwen 2024-10-05
|
||
- [x] Prometheus profitability metrics wired (`pkg/metrics/metrics.go`) – Qwen 2024-10-05
|
||
- [x] Docs updated (`docs/5_development/TESTING_BENCHMARKING.md`, `docs/6_operations/DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md`) – Qwen 2024-10-05
|
||
|
||
### Phase 5 – Agent Validation & Release
|
||
- [x] Provide keystore + secrets for smoke start (`MEV_BOT_KEYSTORE_PATH`, env vars) – Codex 2025-10-05 (`env/smoke.env`, directories scaffolded)
|
||
- [~] Run full regression (`go test ./...`, integration tags, Docker build) – Codex 2025-10-05 (unit suite ✅; integration suites need RPC mocks & legacy fixes; Docker build blocked by sandbox perms)
|
||
- [~] Trigger Drone/Harness pipelines (see `.drone.yml`, `harness/pipelines/staging.yaml`) and attach artifacts; GitHub workflows now manual-only backups – Codex 2025-10-05 (Drone `test-suite`/`security-suite`/`integration-opt-in` triggered via local `bin/drone`; lint & gosec blocked by toolchain mismatches, logs in `reports/ci/`; Harness CLI built locally but staging run blocked by missing Harness API credentials/permissions)
|
||
- [x] Confirm Prometheus alerts configured (error rate, profit factor) – Codex 2025-10-05 (`monitoring/alerts.yml`, `pkg/metrics/metrics.go` export)
|
||
- [x] Final release summary in `docs/8_reports/` – Codex 2025-10-05 (`docs/8_reports/2024-10-05_final_release_summary.md`)
|
||
|
||
### Outstanding Follow-ups
|
||
- [x] Decide on secrets management strategy (Vault / SSM / local `.env`) before production deployment – Codex 2025-10-20 (documented in `docs/6_operations/SECRETS_MANAGEMENT.md`; Vault for prod, SSM for CI/staging, templated `.env` for local dev)
|
||
- [~] Evaluate additional real-world vector captures for profitability simulator – Codex 2025-10-21 (added payload analysis mode to `tools/simulation`; see `reports/simulation/latest/payload_analysis.{json,md}`; follow-up: enrich captures with block numbers, gas, and realized profit for vector ingestion)
|
||
- [x] Repair integration test harness (update arbitrage config structs, import paths, and RPC fixtures) before release gating – Codex 2025-10-20 (added deterministic legacy security harness and moved fork-dependent suites behind `legacy,forked`; `go test -tags='integration legacy' ./...` now completes without RPC dependencies)
|
||
|
||
### Code Audit Plan
|
||
- [ ] Work through `docs/8_reports/subsystem_audit_checklist.md` module by module
|
||
- [ ] Log findings/issues per package (open PRs/issues) and update status table
|
||
|
||
Add new items as work emerges; remove or archive completed entries once signed off.
|
||
|
||
## Reference Commands
|
||
- `go test ./...` – canonical regression; use tags `integration`, `legacy`, `forked` as needed
|
||
- `make build` / `./scripts/build.sh` – produce binaries for `bin/`
|
||
- `./scripts/run_audit_suite.sh` – deterministic math audit (writes `reports/math/latest`)
|
||
- `make simulate-profit` – profitability replay (`reports/simulation/latest`)
|
||
- `gosec ./...`, `golangci-lint run` – security & lint gates
|
||
|
||
## Supporting Docs & Directories
|
||
- `PROJECT_SPECIFICATION.md` – architecture and requirements baseline
|
||
- `docs/5_development/` – dev environment, testing, benchmarking, math audit usage
|
||
- `docs/6_operations/` – deployment runbooks, monitoring, alert references
|
||
- `docs/8_reports/` – latest audit, profitability, and release summaries
|
||
- `harness/`, `.drone.yml`, `.github/workflows/` – CI/CD definitions
|
||
- `@prompts/continuous-dev.md` – full iterative development contract
