ELLI – Central Intelligence for Configuration & Orchestration

No chaos. No conflict. ELLI configures, standardizes and governs SIPA’s modular machine from boot to battle.

🧭 What is ELLI?

ELLI (Environment Loader and Logic Initializer) is SIPA’s central configuration brain and runtime governance system. It ensures that every module in the SIPA ecosystem – from predictive ML engines to real-time trade execution – operates with the correct, consistent, and context-aware settings.

Forget hardcoded chaos, spaghetti config files, or multiple points of failure.
ELLI enforces a single source of truth for the entire system.

📂 ELLI’s Primary Role in SIPA

ELLI sits at the core of the initialization stack. Before SIPA does anything intelligent, ELLI:

• Loads the correct .env variables

• Parses modular YAML configurations

• Detects and sets operational mode (REAL, TEST, DEBUG)

• Resolves relative and absolute paths dynamically

• Injects system-wide variables and flags

• Passes validated config schemas to every submodule

This means every SIPA session is reproducible, traceable, and environment-specific.

🔧 Core Capabilities of ELLI

1. YAML Configuration Parsing:

   • Reads from config/global.yml, config/module/*.yml

   • Validates schemas using pydantic or Cerberus

   • Merges default, environment-specific, and runtime overrides

2. .env Loader & Secret Management:

   • Parses .env file using python-dotenv

   • Automatically decrypts sensitive variables at runtime

   • Verifies required keys (e.g., KRAKEN_API_KEY, MODE, TELEGRAM_TOKEN)

3. Runtime Mode Detection:

   • Sets SIPA mode: REAL, TEST, DEBUG, or VIRTUAL

   • Propagates flags across modules (used by TEEA, DANI, VIDA, TAMI)

   • Determines whether SIPA trades autonomously or waits for confirmation

4. Contextual Configuration Per Module:

   • Provides scoped configs for each SIPA module (e.g. DABI, SAAN, ROKO)

   • Ensures module isolation with shared secrets and scoped flags

   • Allows dynamic per-strategy, per-market, per-user configuration

5. Dynamic Path Resolution:

   • Normalizes relative paths to the correct working directory (supports Docker, systemd, cron)

   • Ensures all modules resolve logs, data, models, and exports properly

6. Live Reloading & Hot Swapping:

   • Detects config changes without restarting (planned for Q3 2025)

   • Useful for testing different strategy params without full reboot

7. Validation & Fail-Safes:

   • Logs misconfigured or missing parameters with severity levels

   • Auto-fills fallbacks for optional fields

   • Raises fatal errors if critical config keys are absent or invalid

✅ Recap:

ELLI is not “just config” – it is SIPA’s runtime brain and environmental backbone.
Every order, prediction, risk flag, and decision SIPA makes is grounded in the configurations ELLI enforces.

If SIPA is a Formula 1 AI driver, ELLI is the pit crew, telemetry engineer, and crew chief – all in one.
