+# Explainable Rebalancing — Decision Rationale Ledger (#343)
+
+Every automated money movement now leaves a structured, durable `RebalanceDecision` row that explains *why it happened and why then*, so a user, an auditor, or a support engineer can reconstruct the decision after the fact.
+
+## Model — `RebalanceDecision`
+
+One row per `protocol:strategy:followId` batch evaluation per tick, whether or not a rebalance fired:
+
+```
+RebalanceDecision {
+  id, correlationId, batchKey,
+  fromProtocol, toProtocol,           // toProtocol null when the decision was "hold"
+  outcome         REBALANCED | HELD | BLOCKED
+  blockedReason   risk_ceiling | below_min_improvement | cost_exceeds_gain | no_candidates | null
+  strategyName, strategyIsFollowed, followedStrategyId
+  thresholds      { minimumImprovement, maxGasPercent }   // snapshot at decision time
+  currentApy, chosenApy, rawImprovement, estCostPercent, netImprovement  // Decimal(12,6)
+  candidates      [{ protocol, apy, riskScore, eligible, rejectionReason }]
+  rationale       String?   // server-templated, never free-form user text
+  affectedUserIds String[]  // every user whose position was in the batch
+  affectedPositions Int
+  outboxOpId      String?   // links the decision to the durable outbox op when one was enqueued
+  heldSince, lastEvaluatedAt   // window for consecutive identical HELD collapsing
+  createdAt
+}
+```
+
+`candidates` is the full ranked protocol list. Each non-winner carries `rejectionReason`:
+
+- `lower_apy` / `lower_target_weight` — eligible but lost on yield/weight,
+- `over_risk_ceiling` — score present but below ceiling,
+- `risk_score_unknown` — fail-closed when absent from the risk-score map.
+
+Thresholds are snapshotted into the row so a later config change never rewrites what the agent actually used.
+
+## Persistence — best-effort, never blocks a rebalance
+
+`src/agent/rebalanceDecision.ts#persistRebalanceDecision` is the single writer. Failures are `logger.error` + `alertingService.emit` (`agent:decision-persist:<batchKey>:<outcome>`) and return `null`; the rebalance itself never rolls back. Decisions are backfillable from the correlation-scoped logs (same pattern as tax-lot creation in `src/stellar/events.ts`).
+
+### Consecutive-HELD collapsing
+
+A batch that holds every tick would otherwise write 24 rows/day/batch. Consecutive identical `HELD` decisions for the same `batchKey` — same `candidates` ranking and same `thresholds` (canonicalized via `audit/chain#canonicalizeAuditPayload`) — collapse into one row: the existing row's `lastEvaluatedAt` is bumped and `affectedUserIds` is union-merged; a change in inputs starts a new row (`heldSince` marks the window start).
+
+## Audit-ledger feed (#315)
+
+Each **new** decision row's canonical payload is hashed via `audit/chain#auditPayloadHashFor` and inserted into `audit_payload_hashes` (`tableName=rebalance_decisions`, `kind=REBALANCE_DECISION`). The row hash is the per-decision contribution to the hash-chained audit ledger; the ledger's chain verification (`audit/chain#verifyAuditChain`) therefore covers every decision.
+
+## Real-time — `agent.decision_recorded`
+
+On every new decision row, `agent.decision_recorded` is published to each affected user's stream (`publishUserEvent` with `EVENT_TYPE_TOPIC['agent.decision_recorded'] = 'agent'`):
+
+```
+{ decisionId, outcome, fromProtocol, toProtocol, blockedReason, createdAt }
+```
+
+Allowlisted in `utils/api-formatters#USER_EVENT_PAYLOAD_ALLOWLIST` so only those keys reach the client. The `agent.rebalanced` event is still emitted per-batch as before; `agent.decision_recorded` arrives right after it so a dashboard can deep-link to `/api/v1/agent/decisions/:id` without polling.
+
+## API
+
+### User — owner-scoped via `affectedUserIds`
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/agent/decisions
+  ?outcome=REBALANCED|HELD|BLOCKED
+  &fromProtocol=Blend
+  &from=2026-08-10T00:00:00Z
+  &to=2026-08-11T00:00:00Z
+  &page=1&limit=10
+```
+
+Paginated `findMany` where `affectedUserIds has <callerId>`, ordered `createdAt desc`. Filterable by `outcome`, `fromProtocol`, and a `createdAt` date range. Response is projected per-user: `affectedUserIds` is stripped (no sibling userIds leak) and `affectedPositions` is batch-level (not per-user size); `candidates` and apy/threshold fields are batch-level.
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/agent/decisions/:id
+```
+
+The same `affectedUserIds has <callerId>` guard, but returns the full trace (ranked `candidates`, thresholds, the `rationale`, and — when the decision linked an `outboxOpId` — the current outbox `status` so the UI can show “decided to rebalance → on-chain submission failed”).
+
+#### Per-user projection
+
+- No field from another user's position is echoed: only protocol names, public APYs, public risk scores, and the batch decision.
+- Followed-strategy privacy: `followedStrategyId` (the publisher's `PublishedStrategy.id`) is shown to the follower; the publisher's userId and other followers are never exposed.
+- Outbox op later fails: `RebalanceDecision.outcome` stays `REBALANCED`; the API joins `outboxOpId` to `outbox_ops.status` so the UI can explain the discrepancy.
+
+### Admin — unrestricted, audit-logged
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/admin/agent/decisions
+  ?outcome=&fromProtocol=&from=&to=&correlationId=&batchKey=&page=&limit=
+  — requires `read` scope (admin-scoped), written to `AdminAuditLog` as `LIST_AGENT_DECISIONS`.
+```
+
+Returns every row (no `affectedUserIds` filter) with `affectedUserIds + affectedPositions` included for support/audit. No user projection, no stripping.
+
+## Strategy plumbing
+
+`src/agent/strategies.ts#rankCandidates` builds `RankedCandidate[]` from the ordered protocol list the strategy actually evaluated. Each strategy decision now carries `candidates` and — for non-rebalances — `blockedReason` so the ledger doesn't need to string-match `reasoning`:
+
+- `risk_ceiling` — ceiling excluded every candidate,
+- `below_min_improvement` — net improvement below the effective threshold,
+- `cost_exceeds_gain` — payback gate rejected the move,
+- `no_candidates` — no protocols available / no APY,
+- (internal) `exposure_unplaceable` — caps summed below 100% (if seen, surfaced as `no_candidates` in the strategy path).
+
+`src/agent/router.ts#compareProtocols` now returns `ProtocolComparison.trace` (candidates + `cost.breakdown` + thresholds + APYs) instead of only logging it. The strategy engine returns `candidates` alongside its `reasoning`. `src/agent/router.ts#executeRebalanceIfNeeded` persists a decision for every outcome (REBALANCED/HELD/BLOCKED), best-effort, and links `outboxOpId` when it enqueues.
+
+## Backfill
+
+Historical rebalances are not backfilled; only prospective decisions are recorded (#343 is forward-only).

+*   **Trustline:** `buildSponsoredTrustline({accountId, asset:` USDC `, sponsor})` sandwiches `ChangeTrust` similarly; only for classic `G...` USDC (Soroban `C...` needs no trustline). Sponsored before first deposit of a new asset.
+*   **Ledger:** `ReserveSponsorship` (one row per sponsored entry, `xlmReserved` 1 / 0.5, `status ACTIVE|REVOKED|RECLAIMED`, `ledgerKey` for revoke) tracks outstanding liability (`SUM WHERE ACTIVE` → gauge `reserve_sponsorship_outstanding_xlm`).
+*   **Multi-sponsor:** `STELLAR_SPONSOR_KEYS` comma-separated, `pickSponsor()` selects most available XLM above `SPONSOR_MIN_XLM_FLOOR` (default 10 XLM); if none, `503 sponsor_capacity_exhausted` + critical alert, never silently under-reserves.
+*   **Revoke:** `buildRevokeSponsorship` leaf-first (trustlines before account) for close; reconciliation job walks on-chain sponsor fields and joins pending outbox before alerting on drift.

+## Fee oracle & congestion policy (#342)
+
+The outbox no longer sets fees blindly and bumps only after failure.
+
+### Fee oracle (`src/stellar/feeOracle.ts`)
+
+A small service that polls `server.getFeeStats()` and `server.getLatestLedger()` every `FEE_ORACLE_POLL_MS` (default 10s) via the resilient RPC client, keeps a short in-memory history (and a Redis-mirrored snapshot at `fee-oracle:snapshot`), and publishes:
+
+```ts
+FeeSnapshot {
+  recommendedBaseFee: number   // p70 inclusion fee, floored 100 stroops
+  aggressiveBaseFee: number    // p95, for CRITICAL ops
+  congestionLevel: 'low'|'elevated'|'high'|'severe'
+  ledgerCapacityUsage: number  // 0..1
+  sampledAt: string
+  ttlMs: number
+}
+```
+
+`congestionLevel` is derived from `ledgerCapacityUsage` and the `min→p95` spread, with hysteresis and a 30s dwell so a single noisy sample does not flap. Recommended/aggressive fees are clamped to `[FEE_ORACLE_MIN, FEE_ORACLE_MAX]` (`100`–`50000` stroops) and floored at `100`. On poll failure the snapshot goes stale; consumers fall back to `FEE_ORACLE_DEFAULT_BASE_FEE` (100) and staleness is a metric + `fee-oracle:stale` alert. `ttlMs` (default 30s) is evaluated on the consumer clock with 1s grace. Redis absence is logged, not fatal — in-memory still serves.
+
+### Dispatcher integration
+
+`submitClaimedOp` reads the current snapshot before the first attempt:
+
+*   `NORMAL` (deposits): `recommendedBaseFee`
+*   `LOW` (rebalances): `recommendedBaseFee`, but if `congestionLevel >= high` the op is **deferred** — left `PENDING` with `nextAttemptAt = now + OUTBOX_LOW_DEFER_MS` (default 15s), bounded by `OUTBOX_LOW_MAX_DEFER_MS` (default 5m) after which it dispatches regardless (a rebalance is never cancelled, only delayed). Counter `outbox_low_deferred_total`.
+*   `CRITICAL` (withdrawals): `aggressiveBaseFee` when `congestionLevel >= elevated`, otherwise `recommendedBaseFee`. Never waits. Counter `outbox_aggressive_fee_used_total`.
+
+Per-attempt `computeFeeMultiplier` still compounds on top (`feeBumpMultiplier ** min(attempts-1, feeBumpMaxAttempts)`), but the product `baseFee * multiplier` is now capped by an **absolute** `OUTBOX_MAX_ABS_FEE` (default 100000 stroops) so a high oracle base cannot compound without bound. Hitting the cap on a `CRITICAL` op still submits at the cap and emits a critical `outbox:max-fee-hit` alert (`outbox_max_fee_hit_total{priority}`).
+
+`reconcileStuckSubmitted` uses the *current* oracle base for its fee-bump resubmission, not a multiple of the original.
+
+### API surface
+
+*   `GET /api/v1/network/conditions` (public, rate-limited) → current `FeeSnapshot` + per-priority `etaBands` derived from `outbox_op_latency_seconds` percentiles.
+*   `POST /api/v1/deposit` and `POST /api/v1/withdraw` responses now include `estFee` (stroops) and `estConfirmationSeconds` from the oracle.
+
+### Telemetry
+
+Gauges `fee_oracle_recommended_base_fee`, `fee_oracle_aggressive_base_fee`, `fee_oracle_ledger_capacity_usage`, `fee_oracle_congestion_level` (0..3), `fee_oracle_staleness_seconds`; counters `fee_oracle_clamp_total{bound}`, `outbox_low_deferred_total`, `outbox_aggressive_fee_used_total`, `outbox_max_fee_hit_total{priority}`. Grafana `latency` dashboard panel + alerts `oracle stale > N s`, `severe > M min`.

+Asset keys matched by predicate: `USD_STABLECOIN`/`STABLECOIN` matches `USDC|USDT|DAI|USD*` case-insensitive; `XLM` matches `XLM`; else exact symbol case-insensitive. Response lists which positions each shock hit.
+
+## Model
+
+*   **Order fixed:** `protocolLoss` (principal) → `assetPriceShock` → `apyShock`/`incentiveApyToZero` (forward yield only). Overlapping shocks on one position compound in that order.
+*   **Incentive fallback:** `incentiveApyToZero` with `incentiveApy==null` assumes 15% share (`apy*0.85`) and sets `assumedIncentiveShare:true` + caveat.
+*   **Recovery:** `dailyYield = postValue * (postYield%/100)/365`. `modeledRecoveryDays = ceil(|impact|/dailyYield)`. If `postYield ≤0` → `null` + `permanentImpairment:true`. Linear path documented; `recoveryDays` is assumption for time-to-recover.
+*   **Degenerate:** empty `ACTIVE` positions → `null` with `reason:"no active positions"`. Never fake 0 impact.
+*   **Bounds:** custom `|price|≤90`, `apyShock≥-100`, `0≤protocolLoss≤90`, `1≤recoveryDays≤365`; rejected 400.
+*   **Determinism:** pure `applyScenario(portfolio, scenario, asOf)` — no wall-clock; `asOf` snapshot in result.
+
+## API
+
+*   `GET /api/v1/analytics/stress/scenarios` → `{scenarios, caveat}` owner-scoped.
+*   `POST /api/v1/analytics/stress` body `{scenarioId}` or `{custom:{shocks}}` + `runAll?:boolean, asOf?:ISO` → single result or `runAll` ranked by `impactPct` (most negative first). Always `caveat` field.
+
+## Limits
+
+*   O(positions) compute, rate-limited like other analytics reads.
+*   No correlation/second-order modeling, no optimizer integration, no auto-derisking.

+/**
+ * RebalanceDecision persistence (#343) — the per-decision rationale ledger.
+ *
+ * `persistRebalanceDecision` is the single writer of `rebalance_decisions`
+ * rows. One row per (protocol, strategy, follow) batch evaluation per tick,
+ * written whether or not a rebalance fired, so "held" and "blocked" decisions
+ * are as visible as "rebalanced" ones.
+ *
+ * ── Never blocks a rebalance ────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * Persistence is best-effort: a failure logs + alerts and returns null, exactly
+ * like the tax-lot pattern in src/stellar/events.ts. The rebalance itself is
+ * never rolled back or gated on the ledger write. Decisions are backfillable
+ * from the correlation-scoped logs.
+ *
+ * ── Consecutive HELD collapsing ─────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * A batch that holds every tick would otherwise write 24 rows/day/batch.
+ * `collapseHeldInto` compares the newest HELD row for the same batchKey on
+ * (candidates, thresholds): identical inputs bump `lastEvaluatedAt` and merge
+ * `affectedUserIds`; a change in inputs starts a new row.
+ *
+ * ── Audit-ledger feed (#315) ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * Every write emits a canonical payload hash into `audit_payload_hashes`
+ * (tableName=rebalance_decisions, kind=REBALANCE_DECISION), so the decision
+ * record itself is tamper-evident and feeds the hash-chained audit ledger.
+ *
+ * ── Real-time stream ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * On a NEW row (not a collapsed repeat), `agent.decision_recorded` is published
+ * to every affected user's stream with the decision id + outcome, so a client
+ * can deep-link to the explanation right after `agent.rebalanced`.
