# Recurring Bug Patterns Patterns that have appeared multiple times — check here before debugging. ## Trading Bugs ### Phantom trades / PnL discrepancies **Symptom**: Bot reports trades that don't appear on Polymarket, or P&L doesn't match wallet. **Cause**: CLOB order placed but not filled; bot counts it as a trade before confirmation. **Fix**: Always verify position via `PolymarketClient.get_positions()`, not local state. ### Confidence over-inflation on small moves **Symptom**: Bot betting at 0.65-0.70 confidence on 0.03-0.05% BTC moves, losing. **Cause**: Booster stack (volume + flow + cross-asset) adds up to +0.08 regardless of move size. **Fix**: Move-proportional boost scale: `_boost_scale = min(1.0, abs(move_pct) / 0.08)`. **Location**: `bot_fishy.py` before the booster section. ### CL-EARLY tier multipliers never firing **Symptom**: All trades at $10 base size even when conf > 0.88. **Cause**: `hard_cap_usdc` was $14, but tier2 (2.4x) = $24 — always capped. **Fix**: Raised `hard_cap_usdc` to $25. ### Auto-tune overwriting manual config **Symptom**: toxic_hours or min_move back to old values after manual reset. **Cause**: `strategy_adaptor` auto-tune runs on schedule and uses historical data. **Fix**: Add fields to `config_locked_fields` in `trading_config.json` to protect them. ## Bot / Discord Bugs ### Bot not responding to commands **Debug order**: `systemctl status` → recent logs → `should_respond()` logic → memory files → taskboard. ### Duplicate task callbacks / EXEC spam **Symptom**: EXEC fires the same strategy message 7+ times. **Cause**: Task processor loop bug — task marked processed but re-processed on next tick. **Fix**: Add `not r.get("processed")` check before processing; set `report["processed"] = True` after. ### bot_fishy.py rolling win-rate cooldown broken **Symptom**: Circuit breaker fires too early or too late. **Cause**: Rolling window was 8 trades; at 2 trades/hour actual volume, too few samples. **Fix**: Extended to 16 trades, threshold stays 35%, cooldown 15min. Plus 2-red-window correlation skip. ## Infrastructure Bugs ### systemd EnvironmentFile in wrong section **Symptom**: `systemctl start` fails with "Invalid section" error. **Cause**: `EnvironmentFile=` placed in `[Install]` section instead of `[Service]`. **Fix**: Move `EnvironmentFile=` line to `[Service]` section. ### VPS can't resolve own domain **Symptom**: `curl https://wiki.deepbluebase.xyz` fails with DNS resolution error from within the server. **Cause**: Local DNS doesn't see the new A record (external-only DNS propagation). **Fix**: Use `--resolve domain:443:IP` for local testing, or test from external host. ### Port 5432 already in use for Docker **Symptom**: `docker run -p 5432:5432 postgres` fails. **Cause**: System PostgreSQL already running on 5432. **Fix**: Map to a different host port: `-p 5433:5432`. ## Graphify / Knowledge Graph Bugs ### Recursion depth exceeded during graph build **Symptom**: Python `RecursionError` when running graphify on bots/. **Cause**: `_rebuild_code()` follows symlinks and descends into node_modules (55k+ JS/TS files). **Fix**: Manually collect only `.py` files with explicit exclusion: node_modules, __pycache__, symlinks, .* dirs. ### `generate()` called with wrong arguments **Symptom**: `TypeError: generate() missing 7 required positional arguments`. **Cause**: Report generation function has a long signature that must be called exactly. **Fix**: Call: `generate(G, communities, cohesion, labels, gods, surprises, detection, token_cost, root, suggested_questions=questions)`
