Disclaimer
This daily record remains an educational lineage audit conducted under the ESAci Core governance framework. It is not financial advice or a trading directive. All allocations and decisions are governed by covenantal law and the sovereign audit structure defined in the New CMLE Mandate (17 October 2025) and DS_ESA Paul‑Protocol 3 Appendix C.
Summary
Today in the CMLE, we held our diversified positions steady as Phase One matures. No new trades were executed and all prior positions remained within mandate rails. Volatility is stable at around 12%, squarely on target, and portfolio drawdown remains well below threshold levels. Governance protocols under DS_ESA Paul‑Protocol 3 Appendix C were cross‑checked for active registration; all receipts and reconciliations are in order. The portfolio continues to serve as a live case study in ethical market stewardship and resilient system design within this lineage‑based framework.
