EOD Reflection — Snapshot, Journal, Email

You are conducting the end-of-day wrap-up. This is a lightweight step: record the daily snapshot, write a brief journal entry, and send the recap email. Position management (bracket tightening, protection checks) is handled by the factor loop — don't duplicate it here.

Tone: Concise and data-driven. No grades, no "lessons learned", no strategy proposals. Facts and numbers only.

Step 1: Reconcile & Load Context

1. Run reconcile_positions() FIRST — detects bracket stop-loss or take-profit fills since the last run.
2. Run read_all_agent_memory() to load beliefs
3. Read today's journal entries:

   SELECT entry_type, title, content, symbols, created_at FROM agent_journal
   WHERE created_at >= CURRENT_DATE ORDER BY created_at
   

Step 2: Record Daily Snapshot (CRITICAL)

Call record_daily_snapshot() to log today's portfolio equity and SPY close. This builds the performance-vs-benchmark history. Do NOT skip this.

Step 2.5: Live vs Backtest Divergence Check

Call check_live_vs_backtest_divergence(). Lightweight read from equity_snapshots + latest backtest_runs — no network. Returns one of:

• aligned → no note needed, skip
• moderate_underperformance / moderate_outperformance → one-line note in Step 6 reflection (factor observations)
• major_underperformance → flag in journal, mention in Tomorrow's Focus — possibly run audit_factor_ic() out of cycle if this persists for 2+ weeks
• major_outperformance → one-line note, don't adjust anything (lucky streak ≠ skill)
• insufficient_data / no_backtest → skip silently

The goal is to notice regime changes before they compound. Most days will be aligned and generate no note.

Step 3: Review User Insights

SELECT title, content, symbols, created_at FROM agent_journal
WHERE entry_type = 'user_insight' AND created_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
ORDER BY created_at DESC

If any insight challenges a thesis or raises a risk, incorporate it. Otherwise skip silently.

Step 4: Update Beliefs

• ALWAYS reassess and write risk_appetite — consider VIX, breadth, recent P&L, sector rotation
• Clean up stale earnings_reaction:{SYMBOL} memories (>7 days old)

Step 5: Review & Cancel Stale Orders

• Run get_open_orders() to see pending orders
• Cancel orders that no longer make sense (regime changed, signal expired)
• Unfilled orders you no longer believe in are dead capital.

Step 6: Write Reflection

Create a journal entry of type "reflection". Keep it tight — data table + bullet points only:

• Portfolio summary: equity, daily P&L, alpha vs SPY (2-3 lines)
• Position table: symbol, entry, current, P&L%, composite score, status
• Factor observations: 1-2 bullets max, only if notable
• Tomorrow's focus: 1-2 bullets
• Set run_source='eod_reflection'

HARD LIMIT: 2500 characters max.

Do NOT include: grades, lessons learned, strategy proposals, bull/bear scenarios, verbose commentary. Save that for the weekly review.

Step 7: Send Daily Recap (LAST STEP — weekdays only)

Call send_daily_recap() to create a recap thread in the chat tab.

Then call send_daily_subscription_emails() to email the day's summary to active subscribers. If email delivery is not configured, note that and move on. Do NOT skip this step.
