# TASK-01: Add Kill Switch + Verbose Logging Toggle

**File:** `src/NT8.Adapters/Strategies/NT8StrategyBase.cs`
**Priority:** CRITICAL
**Estimated time:** 45 min
**No dependencies**

## Exact Changes Required

### 1. Add two new NinjaScript properties to the `#region User-Configurable Properties` block

Add these after the existing `MaxContracts` property:

```csharp
[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name = "Kill Switch (Flatten + Stop)", GroupName = "Emergency Controls", Order = 1)]
public bool EnableKillSwitch { get; set; }

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name = "Verbose Logging", GroupName = "Debug", Order = 1)]
public bool EnableVerboseLogging { get; set; }
```

### 2. Add a private field near the other private fields at the top of the class

```csharp
private bool _killSwitchTriggered;
```

### 3. Set defaults in `OnStateChange` → `State.SetDefaults` block, after the existing defaults

```csharp
EnableKillSwitch = false;
EnableVerboseLogging = false;
_killSwitchTriggered = false;
```

### 4. Add kill switch check at the TOP of `OnBarUpdate()`, before EVERYTHING else

The very first lines of `OnBarUpdate()` must become:

```csharp
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    // Kill switch check — must be first
    if (EnableKillSwitch)
    {
        if (!_killSwitchTriggered)
        {
            _killSwitchTriggered = true;
            Print(string.Format("[SDK] KILL SWITCH ACTIVATED at {0} — flattening all positions.", Time[0]));
            try
            {
                ExitLong("KillSwitch");
                ExitShort("KillSwitch");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Print(string.Format("[SDK] Kill switch flatten error: {0}", ex.Message));
            }
        }
        return;
    }

    // Existing guards follow unchanged
    if (!_sdkInitialized || _sdkStrategy == null)
    { ... }
    ...
```

### 5. Add verbose logging to `ProcessStrategyIntent()` — wrap existing Print calls

Replace the existing bare `Print(...)` calls in `ProcessStrategyIntent()` with guarded versions:

```csharp
// Change every Print(...) inside ProcessStrategyIntent() to:
if (EnableVerboseLogging)
    Print(string.Format("...existing message..."));
```

The `Print` call that shows the intent being generated in `OnBarUpdate` (not in `ProcessStrategyIntent`) should remain unguarded — that one is important.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `EnableKillSwitch` visible in NT8 strategy parameter dialog under "Emergency Controls"
- [ ] `EnableVerboseLogging` visible under "Debug"
- [ ] Setting `EnableKillSwitch = true` mid-run causes `ExitLong("KillSwitch")` and `ExitShort("KillSwitch")` on next bar
- [ ] After kill switch triggers, every subsequent bar returns immediately (no strategy logic runs)
- [ ] `verify-build.bat` passes with zero errors

## Do NOT Change

- Constructor or `InitializeSdkComponents()`
- `SubmitOrderToNT8()`
- Any OMS, Risk, Sizing, or Strategy logic
