📖About & Usage

About

Budget Compliance Watch is the daily guardian of Carolverse’s spending discipline. Its job is to run at 21:50 every day and answer a simple but critical question: are we following our own money rules? Specifically, it checks that every charge goes through a single spend gate, that only two authorised things can refuse a purchase, that activity‑true charging is turned on, that recorded costs line up with reality, and that every limit is explainable by the journal.

It doesn’t wait for anyone to ask — being a scheduled droid, it fires off on its own each evening. In practice, it likely inspects logs and records from apps like Token Cost Tracker or Azure Cost Tracker, and compares them-monitor">Daily Budget Cap Monitor. Because its execution engine isn’t recorded yet, we can’t say whether it’s a pure‑software routine or whether it calls Claude under the hood.

This droid belongs to Midas, who relies on it to keep a tight grip on the purse strings. It isn’t a one‑off, though. The family it comes from (shown as “(none)” in the directory) is used by 213 droids across virtually every agent in the Carolverse, so the design is a standard reusable pattern. What is unique is its name — there’s only one “Budget Compliance Watch” — but the recipe for how it works is shared by many.
