This table summarizes Phoenix perpetuals implementation traps without reproducing account data or operational tuning. Live observations, simulations, public source facts, and experimental safeguards have distinct scopes.
TL;DR
Exact numbers, raw account identity, one-signature intents, parsed transaction results, and trusted slot evidence are required to interpret an operation. Chain confirmation alone is insufficient.

2. Diagnostic evidence
Recognize margin evidence (InsufficientFunds, unhealthy exposure increase), no-position reduce-only failure, OrderNotFound, cold cancel no-op, compute exhaustion, and program return-data inconsistencies. Public Rust event reasons include capacity, post-only cross, packet, time-in-force, and band rejection. Their names do not prove the live envelope or establish a unique cause without transaction context.
Keep no-send, preflight rejection, landed failure, confirmed empty result, confirmed post/fill, and unknown separate. Only record public protocol conclusions after removing identities, experiment values, and encoded live transaction data.
Open questions / not verified
- Resting reduce-only match after flat, post-only reduce-only/market acceptance, band-edge behavior, capacity event form, and large-batch CU requirements.
- Idle account-slot meaning, cancellation risk thresholds, isolated delegate workflows, and experimental signer/delegation validation.
