Spec is Law
The design principle that the compiled spec is the sole authority — the bot does exactly what the spec says, nothing more, nothing less.
Spec is Law means the compiled configuration is the complete and exclusive instruction set for the bot. The spec defines the modules, the parameters, the growth target, the tolerance, the constraints. The runtime executes against the spec. The gate validates against the spec. The ledger records against the spec.
No runtime decision can override the spec. No market condition can modify it. No external signal can alter it. If the spec says the maximum position size is $500, then $500 is the maximum — regardless of opportunity, conviction, or momentum.
The corollary: if the spec is wrong, the bot follows wrong instructions precisely. Discipline means following the rules. It does not mean the rules are correct. The user wrote the rules in the builder. The bot follows them. Responsibility stays with the person who configured the spec.
