What Flow explains and how to use it
Flow is the human-readable activity stream in Chilla. It helps you answer two questions quickly: what happened, and why it happened.
What you will see
- Flow action buttons: Replay logs, Expand Flow, Download logs.
- Category chips: All, Entry, Exit, Pass, Warn, Live.
- Per-event status pills: ENTRY, EXIT, PASS, WARN, LIVE.
- Summary counters above the feed for Entry, Exit, Pass, Errors, and Live.

LIVE
What each major element means
| Element | Meaning | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Entry event | Automation opened a position within your instruction scope. | Confirm environment and instruction are the expected ones. |
| Exit event | A tracked position lifecycle ended and was closed. | Review sequence around the event if you need context. |
| Passed event | System stepped aside with a specific reason such as comfort boundary, instruction scope, or environment minimum. | Open event details and compare with instruction comfort and account readiness. |
| Warning event | Validation or environment warning event was recorded. | Use troubleshooting steps and include the warning title in support requests. |
| Live event | Monitoring update without an entry/exit action. | No action needed unless the update conflicts with your expected setup. |
Common skip reasons and app wording
| Flow reason code | User-visible headline |
|---|---|
insufficient_balance | Entry paused by available resources |
broker_minimum | Entry paused by environment minimum |
not_authorized | Entry paused by instruction scope |
validation_failed | Action paused by validation check |
risk_cap_exhausted / risk_cap_approaching | Entry paused by comfort boundary |

Flow FAQ
I expected activity but Flow is quiet. Is that a problem?
Not always. A quiet period can mean no valid conditions, active monitoring, or step-aside behavior within your boundaries. Check instruction status, environment readiness, and capacity first.
Can Flow be used for support requests?
Yes. Include recent event timestamps, event types, and any warning labels when you contact support.
