Lesson 12 · Monitor (nav)

Monitor, reconcile, kill switch

The control plane. Watch the origin, prove the card still matches, freeze acts if anything drifts.

Observe still runs when frozen. List on BotCentral will refuse until you thaw Catalog.

Step 1

Observe vs act

Audit, monitor, and reconcile always run. Publish, mentions, spend, and autopilot are acts — the kill switch can freeze them.

Step 2

Run monitor + reconcile

Probes each property (200 / 404 / SPA 404 / 402), pings citefleet.app and botcentral.org health, then scores ten checks. Drift blocks the next mention spike in policy even if a checkbox is ticked.

Step 3

Freeze

Freeze all acts, or freeze one door (catalog, mentions, submissions, spend, autopilot). Thaw from the same page. Command and Campaign show a banner while frozen.

Step 4

Proof

A done task with no evidence URL fails “Ticks have proof.” Do not tick Trustpilot without a live listing URL.
