{"wiki":{"id":246,"slug":"daily-budget-monitor","entity_type":"app","entity_id":"daily-budget-monitor","title":"Daily Budget Cap Monitor","prose_md":"## About\n\nThe Daily Budget Cap Monitor is the daily financial dashboard for the Carolverse, designed for [[agt_021]] (Midas, Head of Finance). It gives a single, at-a-glance view of how much of the day’s approved budget has already been consumed—and what’s left—across every service, agent fleet, and AI track. Budgets are defined as registry entries in [[daily-budget]], and this monitor reads those caps in real time, showing not just spending but also the enforceable limits on fleet size, active agents, and *consciousness* resources. Think of it as the AI ecosystem’s fuel gauge: it keeps Midas informed so that no process runs away with today’s credits, and so that operational caps are never accidentally breached before the day is done.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nMidas typically opens the Daily Budget Cap Monitor first thing each morning to verify that the previous day’s spending closed cleanly and that today’s caps are correctly loaded. Throughout the day, the monitor fires automatically to reflect live consumption—when an agent like [[agt_012]] (Forge) triggers a build or when a high-traffic service like [[carol-chat]] processes lots of tokens, the consumed-against-budget numbers tick upward. A concrete scenario: mid-afternoon, Midas notices that the fleet cap for EU-region experiments is approaching 90%. He pauses an upcoming migration script from [[agt_032]] (Gimli) and reallocates budget from a underused admin track, preventing an automated enforcement shutdown. Because the monitor shows all caps side by side—budget, fleet, agent, consciousness—he can make a single trade-off decision without digging through logs.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/app/daily-budget-monitor.png","source_hash":"7ff50a32b5f753a7f02494739ddf1593bf74945132a928cf73b9f63f66441505","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-08-01 20:38:34","created_at":"2026-07-23 03:25:44","updated_at":"2026-08-01 20:38:34"},"facts":{"id":"daily-budget-monitor","name":"Daily Budget Cap Monitor","port":7311,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/daily-budget-monitor/","description":"Midas daily view of budget vs consumed across every Carolverse service and track — budgets are registry entries; enforced fleet/agent/consciousness caps shown.
