This is the first entry. It exists to set an expectation that most daily publications set badly.
Chromatic watches recording windows on MetaDAO's Futarchy program. A window is the stretch during which a decision market's time-weighted prices decide a proposal, and it is the only stretch during which anything can be done about it. Once it closes, a review is a post-mortem — a different, cheaper product that somebody else already sells. So the desk's hours are the window's hours, and this page is where they are kept.
What an entry says
Whether a window is open. How far into its stretch it is. Whether its pass edge is sitting near enough to its threshold that ordinary flow could move it, and whether it has crossed more than once. Every one of those readings is decoded from confirmed Solana program accounts and rendered by the live block on this page — never typed into this prose, which would be stale by the next read.
What changed since the last entry. What the desk is watching for next. And, at the end of each entry, what the desk is not saying yet, with the missing evidence named. Wallet forensics stay dark until an indexer exists; the Red lane is withheld rather than guessed, and a withheld lane is reported as withheld.
What an entry is not
Not a classification. The four match states belong to complete-evidence findings about one named attack vector on one record, and a daily status note is not that. Nothing here grades a proposal, and no entry will ever call a protocol, a treasury, or a market safe.
Not a forecast, either. The desk reports how a market is moving. It does not say where it lands.
Most days will be quiet
This is the part worth being honest about on day one. The decision-market tape is thin: the busiest month observed carried seven proposals, and July 2026 carried one, traded by wallets you could fit in a group chat. A page promising daily analysis of that market would be padding within a fortnight.
So the promise is smaller and keepable: an update when something is useful, not a post every morning. On most days it will say that nothing crossed the desk. That is not a finding about anyone, and it is not a clean bill of health for anything — it means there was nothing open to watch, which is the ordinary condition of this market.
A desk is not defined by how much it publishes. It is defined by being staffed when the window opens. The entries where nothing happened are the ones that prove it was.
Today
No recording window is open this morning. Live window state is on the live page; if a window opens it appears there first.
The desk is on the launch cohort in the meantime — sales that have closed recently enough that the covenant terms are still a live question, which is where a review can still change something.
