11.1 How to read it

• mode: live — operator key loaded, launches open, drops running. paper — no key; the engine records intents only and the builder refuses payment.
• Last tick — acid under 3 minutes, white under 15, red beyond. The engine runs every minute; a stale tick means the cron or the database is down. Anyone can POST /api/tick/poke to run one.
• Operator ETH — read live from the public RPC. It is gas: it should hover around the ops reserve. Operator USDG — claimed creator fees waiting to be spent on capsules. Escrow pending USDG — swept into the pons Fee Escrow to the operator's name but not yet claimed; it belongs to whichever capsules earned it. A large, growing USDG balance with no drops is the thing to shout about.
• pons v2 launch checks — from /api/health: ponsVersion, whether the factory has launches enabled, whether the operator passes canLaunch, and whether USDG is still an approved pair token (pairApproved). All three must be green for the builder to take money; the builder shows the same three.
• Fees collected — v2 coins in USDG, everything in dollars, and the legacy WETH line for capsules launched before v2.
• Journal — the engine's own log from /api/events, newest first: sweeps, claims, drops, purchases, payouts, phase changes, errors. The same table is shown per capsule at the bottom of each capsule page.
