name: imperial-execution-modes description: Execution-mode taxonomy for Imperial router workflows in this repo: observe, route-check, paper/spec, live single-shot, and external durable runner.

Imperial Execution Modes

Use these modes consistently:

• observe: read-only market, funding, depth, balances, positions, and orders.
• route-check: evaluate venue, fees, and notional with /funding-rates, /mark-prices, and /route.
• paper/spec: build a trade or strategy plan without submitting.
• live-single-shot: one immediate authenticated order or close through POST /mobile/orders.
• external-runner: durable TWAP/grid logic owned by a real runner, not a webhook.

Telegram note:

• The current Telegram bot can safely do observe, route-check, and live-single-shot.
• Long-lived TWAP/grid behaviour should be described as runner-backed unless a durable worker owns the loop.
