VIOLET_PART_SPEC_OA_TODO_PASS7.md — the V5 ladder layer as six independent units extending
contracts_v3 (AssetRank/SlotState/CapitalAllocation/SlotPolicy):
31. Selection contracts + SlotPolicy.
32. ARS ranking pipeline (faithful to AlphaAssetSelector.rank_assets + OB Sub-1 ±5/10% + IRP
alignment filter + stablecoin exclusion).
33. Multi-asset slot manager (max_slots, assignment by rank, hysteresis anti-churn, no double-occ).
34. Capital allocation across slots (BLUE notional = base_fraction × conviction × capital; no
invented normalization).
35. Selection→slot→intent multi-asset DARK flow harness.
36. Ranking bit-identity @gate vs the real AlphaAssetSelector.
NOTE (CRITICAL #1): the disappointing live parity (pick-match 1.5%, no-pick 86%, sizing near-
identical when aligned) implicates THIS selection/timing layer. PASS 7 PINS the ranking math
bit-for-bit (Task 36), which narrows the live-parity suspect to timing/join — but the
live-aggregate root-cause stays Claude's job (not this pass). Faithful to AlphaAssetSelector /
BIBLE §5; cite kernel file:line. New-file-only under selection/.
Standing ready for PASS 8–9. Added PASS 7 to the review queue in VIOLET_TODO_CRITICAL.md.
