 **Next Agent:** Please read this COMPLETELY before starting work
 **User Expectation:** Permanent fixes, not temporary patches
 **Critical Priority:** Stop the "risk management vanished" pattern once and for all

+
+## ✅ FIXES IMPLEMENTED (Dec 9, 2025 - PR #X)
+
+**Status:** COMPLETE - All four bugs fixed with validation, error handling, and comprehensive tests
+
+### Bug #76 Fix: Stop-Loss Placement Validation
+
+**File: `lib/drift/orders.ts`**
+- Added expected order count calculation: `2 + (useDualStops ? 2 : 1)`
+- Wrapped each SL placement type (TRIGGER_LIMIT, TRIGGER_MARKET, soft/hard) in try/catch
+- Added explicit error messages: `throw new Error('Stop loss placement failed: ...')`
+- Added validation after all orders placed:
+  ```typescript
+  if (signatures.length < expectedCount) {
+    return { 
+      success: false, 
+      error: `MISSING EXIT ORDERS: Expected ${expectedCount}, got ${signatures.length}`,
+      signatures 
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+- Enhanced logging: "🔄 Executing SL placement..." before each order type
+- Returns partial signatures on failure for debugging
+
+**File: `app/api/trading/execute/route.ts`**
+- Added signature count validation after `placeExitOrders()` returns:
+  ```typescript
+  const expectedCount = config.useDualStops ? 4 : 3
+  if (exitOrderSignatures.length < expectedCount) {
+    console.error(`❌ CRITICAL: Missing exit orders!`)
+    logCriticalError('MISSING_EXIT_ORDERS', { ... })
+  }
+  ```
+- Logs via `logCriticalError()` with full context (symbol, tradeId, expected vs actual)
+- Continues with trade creation but flags position as needing verification
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- ✅ SL placement failures throw explicit errors (no silent failure)
+- ✅ Function returns `success: false` when signatures missing
+- ✅ Execute endpoint logs CRITICAL error when missing signatures
+- ✅ Persistent logger captures failure details for post-mortem
+- ✅ User notified of unprotected positions
+
+**Tests Added:**
+- `tests/integration/orders/exit-orders-validation.test.ts` (13 test cases)
+- Tests single stop system (3 orders expected)
+- Tests dual stop system (4 orders expected)
+- Tests failure when SL/soft/hard placement fails
+- Tests validation logic catches missing signatures
+
+---
+
+### Bug #77 Fix: Position Manager Monitoring Verification
+
+**File: `lib/trading/position-manager.ts` - `addTrade()`**
+- Added verification after `startMonitoring()` call:
+  ```typescript
+  if (this.activeTrades.size > 0 && !this.isMonitoring) {
+    const errorMsg = `CRITICAL: Failed to start monitoring! ...`
+    await logCriticalError('MONITORING_START_FAILED', { ... })
+    throw new Error(errorMsg)
+  }
+  ```
+- Logs to persistent file with trade IDs, symbols, and state
+- Throws exception to prevent silent failure (Position Manager MUST monitor or fail loudly)
+
+**File: `lib/trading/position-manager.ts` - `startMonitoring()`**
+- Enhanced logging before/during/after:
+  ```typescript
+  logger.log(`   Active trades: ${this.activeTrades.size}`)
+  logger.log(`   Symbols: ${symbols.join(', ')}`)
+  logger.log(`   Current isMonitoring: ${this.isMonitoring}`)
+  logger.log(`📡 Calling priceMonitor.start()...`)
+  // ... after start ...
+  logger.log(`   isMonitoring flag set to: ${this.isMonitoring}`)
+  ```
+- Wrapped `priceMonitor.start()` in try/catch with persistent error logging
+- Re-throws errors so caller knows monitoring failed
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- ✅ If monitoring fails to start, exception thrown (not silent)
+- ✅ Logs show exact state: active trades, symbols, isMonitoring flag
+- ✅ Persistent logger captures failure for post-mortem
+- ✅ System cannot enter "fake monitoring" state (logs say monitoring but isn't)
+
+**Tests Validated:**
+- `tests/integration/position-manager/monitoring-verification.test.ts` (already existed)
+- Tests isMonitoring flag set to true after addTrade()
+- Tests priceMonitor.start() actually called
+- Tests errors bubble up from priceMonitor.start()
+
+---
+
+### Bug #78 Fix: Safe Orphan Removal
+
+**File: `lib/trading/position-manager.ts` - `removeTrade()`**
+- Query Drift for current position size BEFORE canceling orders:
+  ```typescript
+  const driftPosition = await driftService.getPosition(marketConfig.driftMarketIndex)
+  
+  if (driftPosition && Math.abs(driftPosition.size) >= 0.01) {
+    console.warn(`⚠️ SAFETY CHECK: Position still open on Drift (size: ${driftPosition.size})`)
+    console.warn(`   Skipping order cancellation to avoid removing active position protection`)
+    this.activeTrades.delete(tradeId) // Just remove from tracking
+    return
+  }
+  ```
+- Only cancel orders if Drift confirms position closed (size ≈ 0)
+- On error, err on side of caution - don't cancel orders
+- Logs to persistent file when skipping cancellation for safety
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- ✅ removeTrade() checks Drift before canceling orders
+- ✅ If Drift shows open position → skip cancel, just remove from map
+- ✅ If Drift shows closed position → safe to cancel orders
+- ✅ On Drift query error → skip cancel (safety first)
+- ✅ Multiple positions on same symbol protected from orphan cleanup
+
+**Tests Added:**
+- `tests/integration/position-manager/safe-orphan-removal.test.ts` (13 test cases)
+- Tests canceling when Drift confirms closed (size = 0)
+- Tests NOT canceling when Drift shows open (size >= 0.01)
+- Tests removing from tracking even when skipping cancellation
+- Tests safety on Drift query errors
+- Tests multiple positions on same symbol scenario
+

+
+### Bug #80 Fix: Retry Loop Cooldown Enforcement
+
+**File: `lib/monitoring/drift-state-verifier.ts`**
+- Added in-memory cooldown tracking:
+  ```typescript
+  private recentCloseAttempts: Map<string, number> = new Map()
+  private readonly COOLDOWN_MS = 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes
+  ```
+- Check in-memory map FIRST (fast path):
+  ```typescript
+  const lastAttemptTime = this.recentCloseAttempts.get(mismatch.symbol)
+  if (lastAttemptTime && (Date.now() - lastAttemptTime) < this.COOLDOWN_MS) {
+    console.log(`⏸️ COOLDOWN ACTIVE: ${remainingCooldown}s remaining`)
+    return // Skip retry
+  }
+  ```
+- ALSO check database for persistence across restarts
+- Record attempt time BEFORE calling `closePosition()` to prevent race conditions:
+  ```typescript
+  const attemptTime = Date.now()
+  this.recentCloseAttempts.set(mismatch.symbol, attemptTime)
+  const result = await closePosition(...)
+  ```
+- Keep cooldown even on failure to prevent spam
+- Log cooldown state with remaining time and map contents
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+- ✅ First close attempt allowed immediately
+- ✅ Subsequent attempts blocked for 5 minutes
+- ✅ Logs show cooldown status and remaining time
+- ✅ Cooldown persists across container restarts (database)
+- ✅ Prevents retry loop from repeatedly stripping protection
+- ✅ Clear visibility into cooldown state for monitoring
+
+**Tests Added:**
+- `tests/integration/drift-state-verifier/cooldown-enforcement.test.ts` (12 test cases)
+- Tests allowing first close attempt
+- Tests blocking retry within 5-minute cooldown
+- Tests allowing retry after cooldown expires
+- Tests logging remaining cooldown time
+- Tests database persistence of cooldown
+- Tests recording attempt even on failure

+
+## Verification Steps for Production
+
+### 1. Deploy and Monitor Initial Behavior
+```bash
+# Deploy new code
+docker compose build trading-bot
+docker compose up -d --force-recreate trading-bot
+
+# Verify container running new code
+docker logs trading-bot-v4 | grep "Server starting" | head -1
+git log -1 --format='%ai'
+# Container timestamp must be NEWER than commit
+
+# Watch for enhanced logging
+docker logs -f trading-bot-v4 | grep -E "(CRITICAL|MONITORING|Executing SL|COOLDOWN)"
+```
+
+### 2. Test Exit Order Placement
+```bash
+# Open test position via Telegram
+# Watch logs for:
+# - "📊 Expected 3 exit orders total (TP1 + TP2 + single stop)"
+# - "🔄 Executing SL trigger-market placement..."
+# - "✅ All 3 exit orders placed successfully"
+
+# Check database
+docker exec trading-bot-postgres psql -U postgres -d trading_bot_v4 -c \
+  "SELECT slOrderTx, softStopOrderTx, hardStopOrderTx FROM \"Trade\" WHERE id='...';"
+
+# ALL fields should be populated (not NULL)
+```
+
+### 3. Verify Position Manager Monitoring
+```bash
+# After opening position, check logs for:
+# - "📡 Calling priceMonitor.start()..."
+# - "✅ Position monitoring active"
+# - "   isMonitoring flag set to: true"
+# - "✅ Monitoring verification passed: isMonitoring=true"
+
+# If monitoring fails, should see:
+# - "❌ CRITICAL: Failed to start monitoring!"
+# - Exception thrown (container logs show error)
+```
+
+### 4. Test Safe Orphan Removal
+```bash
+# Trigger orphan detection by manually closing position on Drift UI
+# Wait for orphan detection to run (10 min interval)
+
+# Watch logs for:
+# - "✅ Drift position confirmed closed (size: 0)"
+# - "   Safe to cancel remaining orders"
+# OR
+# - "⚠️ SAFETY CHECK: Position still open on Drift"
+# - "   Skipping order cancellation to avoid removing active position protection"
+```
+
+### 5. Monitor Retry Loop Cooldown
+```bash
+# If Drift state mismatch detected:
+# Watch logs for:
+# - "🔄 Retrying close for SOL-PERP..."
+# - "🚀 Proceeding with close attempt..."
+# - "📝 Cooldown recorded: SOL-PERP → 2025-12-09T22:30:00.000Z"
+
+# On subsequent attempt within 5 minutes:
+# - "⏸️ COOLDOWN ACTIVE: Last attempt 120s ago"
+# - "⏳ Must wait 180s more before retry (5min cooldown)"
+# - "📊 Cooldown map state: SOL-PERP:120000ms"
+```
+
+### 6. Check Health Monitor Integration
+```bash
+# Health monitor should now detect missing SL orders immediately
+docker logs -f trading-bot-v4 | grep "NO STOP LOSS"
+
+# If SL missing:
+# - "🚨 CRITICAL: Position {id} missing SL order"
+# - Shows symbol, size, ALL null SL fields
+# - Alerts every 30 seconds until fixed
+```
+
