Receipt

A mission is one run of a crew. Agents execute in order; prompts, raw outputs, parsed JSON, tools, memory, approvals, and receipts are persisted.

What this page is

The black-box recorder for one mission.

Open receipt →
Each agent step
Saved with prompt, raw model output, latency, and token counts.
Raw model output
Stored verbatim alongside the parsed JSON, so you can replay or audit.
Parsed JSON
Validated against the agent's Zod schema; failures self-correct or fail loudly.
Tool calls
Every browser_qa_audit, web_snapshot, etc. is recorded with input + output.
Approvals
Risky outputs (drafts, trades, exports) wait for your decision before they count.
Receipt
A WorkflowReceipt with an integrity hash captures the whole run for the trust ledger.

This page auto-refreshes while the mission is queued or running.

Mission objective: Analyze AAPL and NVDA for a paper trade this week given the macro backdrop.

Identify 2-4 symbols implied by the objective (or general macro tickers if none). For each symbol, give sentiment (must be exactly one of "bullish", "bearish", or "neutral" — lowercase only, no other values), 2-3 catalysts, and a notable technical level. Then produce a 2-4 sentence market brief.

Respond as JSON: { "marketBrief": "...", "symbols": [{ "symbol": "AAPL", "sentiment": "bullish", "catalysts": ["..."], "notableLevel": "..." }] }
