Three-key safety is zengtrade's model for how live (real-money) execution can ever activate: it requires three separate, independent conditions to all be true simultaneously. The specific strategy has cleared its go-live evidence bar; an OS-level ALLOW_LIVE flag is armed on the machine actually running the engine (something a browser session can never set on its own); and the user has explicitly and deliberately armed live trading themselves.
No single one of these is sufficient on its own. A strategy clearing its evidence bar doesn't arm live trading by itself, and a user "wanting" to go live doesn't matter if the strategy hasn't earned it or the machine-level flag isn't set. All three have to align.
The design intent is straightforward: no single bug, misclick, or compromised session can flip real capital into live execution. It takes an evidence gate, a machine-level flag, and a deliberate human action, together.
