 ## Core Requirements & Features
 
 | Requirement | Description | Implementation |
 |-------------|-------------|----------------|
-| **Weather-Dependent Activities** | Ice scooting requires sunny weather | Guard queries weather Repository for the activity date |
-| **Insurance Sub-Order** | Travel provider purchases insurance as supply chain sub-order | Machine forward creates insurance Order via Progress |
+| **Weather Data Query** | Demonstrate querying weather Repository | Guard checks if weather data exists for a given date |
 | **Multi-Node Workflow** | Start -> Buy Insurance -> SPA -> Ice Scooting -> Complete | Machine with 5 nodes and conditional paths |
 | **Time-Lock Completion** | Prevent premature order completion | Guard using Order + convert_witness(TypeOrderProgress) |
-| **Cancellation Support** | Allow order cancellation before completion | Cancel forward with permission-based access |
+| **Cancellation Support** | Allow order cancellation from Ice Scooting node | Cancel forward with permission-based access |
 | **Arbitration** | Dispute resolution for order conflicts | Arbitration object bound to Service |
-
-### Key Design Decisions
-
-1. **Weather Data via Repository**: Weather conditions are stored in a Repository object with policy "Condition". Each day's weather is keyed by UTC timestamp (converted to Address via `convert_number_address`).
-2. **Insurance as Sub-Order**: The "Buy Insurance" node creates a sub-order on the insurance service, linking the two workflows.
-3. **Time-Lock via Witness Conversion**: The Complete node Guard uses `convert_witness: 100` (TypeOrderProgress) to access Progress data from the submitted Order.
-4. **Dynamic Time Calculation**: Weather data timestamps are calculated dynamically based on current time, ensuring the example is always testable.

 ## Step 0: Setup Weather Data
 
-Before creating the travel service, set up the weather Repository with recent 5-day weather data.
+Before creating the travel service, set up the weather Repository with the next 5 days of weather data. The weather data is keyed by timestamp, and the `weather_check_guard` (Step 3.1) will query this repository at runtime when the customer enters the "Ice Scooting" node (Step 7.3). You must use timestamps that are valid at the time you run this example.
 
 ### 0.1 Calculate Weather Timestamps
 
-Use the following JavaScript to calculate recent 5-day UTC timestamps:
+The weather record `id` is a UTC timestamp (in milliseconds). It must be **aligned to UTC 00:00:00** so that the same timestamp can be reproduced and submitted later in Step 7.3. Run the following JavaScript (also available as `calc-weather-timestamps.js` in this example folder):
 
 ```js
-const DAY_MS = 86400000;
+const DAY_MS = 86400000; // 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
 const now = Date.now();
+// Align to UTC 00:00:00 of today, then compute the next 5 days.
+// Repository data is keyed by timestamp, so the submitted activity date
+// must match exactly the id used when adding weather data.
 const todayStart = Math.floor(now / DAY_MS) * DAY_MS;
-// Recent 5 days UTC day start timestamps (from 4 days ago to today)
-for (let i = 4; i >= 0; i--) {
-  const ts = todayStart - i * DAY_MS;
-  console.log(`Day ${5-i}: ${ts} (${new Date(ts).toISOString()})`);
+for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

 ## Step 5: Create and Publish Service
 
-Create the travel service with Machine, Arbitration, sales, and order_allocators, then publish in a single transaction.
+Create the travel service with all configurations and publish it in one operation. The Service requires:
+- Machine binding (must be published first)
+- Sales items (product listing)
+- Arbitration binding
+- Order allocators (fund distribution rules)
+- `pause: false` and `publish: true` to make it active
 
-**Prompt**: Create and publish "travel_service" with all bindings and sales.
+**Prompt**: Create and publish a Service named "travel_service".

-> **Note**: The `order_allocators` field is required for publishing a Service. It defines how order revenue is allocated. In this example, we use a simple allocator with the travel_complete_guard.

-## Step 6: Unpause Service
-
-Unpause the service to allow order creation.
+**order_allocators Field Reference**:
 
-**Prompt**: Unpause "travel_service".

+| `threshold` | number | Minimum threshold for allocation (0 = no minimum) |
+| `allocators` | array | Array of allocator configurations |
+| `allocators[].guard` | string | Guard name/ID that must pass for this allocation |
+| `allocators[].fix` | string | Fixed amount per recipient ("0" = none) |
+| `allocators[].sharing` | array | Array of sharing rules |

-## Step 7: Verify Service Configuration
+| Type | Syntax | Resolves To | Use Case |
+|------|--------|-------------|----------|
+| `Entity` | `{"Entity": {"name_or_address": "travel_service"}}` | The named address | Merchant receipts (Service object) |
+| `GuardIdentifier` | `{"GuardIdentifier": 0}` | Address from Guard table index 0 (submitted at runtime) | Customer refunds (Order ID submitted to Guard) |
+| `Signer` | `{"Signer": "signer"}` | The caller of `alloc_by_guard` | When caller should receive all funds |
 
-Query the service to verify all configurations are correct.
+> **Important**: All allocation Guards (merchant_victory_guard, no_ice_scooting_guard, no_spa_guard) have `identifier: 0` as a submission field accepting the Order ID at runtime. `{"GuardIdentifier": 0}` resolves to this submitted Order ID, so funds are sent to the Order object — the customer (Order builder) can then withdraw.
 
-**Prompt**: Query "travel_service" to verify configuration.
+**Allocation Logic**:
 
-```json
-{
-  "query_type": "onchain_objects",
-  "objects": ["travel_service"],
-  "no_cache": true,
-  "network": "testnet"
-}
-```
+| Guard | Condition | Service Receives | Customer Receives |
+|-------|-----------|-----------------|-------------------|
+| merchant_victory_guard | Progress is "Complete" | 100% (Entity → travel_service) | 0% |
+| no_ice_scooting_guard | Progress is "Cancel" or "Ice Scooting" | 80% (Entity → travel_service) | 20% (GuardIdentifier: 0 → Order) |
+| no_spa_guard | Progress is "SPA" | 5% (Entity → travel_service) | 95% (GuardIdentifier: 0 → Order) |

+## Step 8: Execute Fund Allocation
+
+After the Progress reaches a terminal state (Complete or Cancel), execute the fund allocation. This operation verifies the allocation Guard and distributes funds according to the `order_allocators` configured in Step 5.
+
+**Anyone can call this operation** — the caller does not need to be the merchant or the customer. The Guard verification determines which allocator's sharing rules apply, and funds are distributed to the recipients defined in those rules.
+
+### 8.1 Query the Order ID
+
+The allocation Guard requires the Order ID as a submission (identifier: 0). Query the Progress object to find the `task` field, which contains the Order ID.
+
+**Prompt**: Query the Progress object to get the Order ID.
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation_type": "progress",
+  "data": {
+    "object": "alice_travel_progress"
+  },
+  "env": {
+    "network": "testnet",
+    "no_cache": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> **Note**: The response includes a `task` field containing the Order object ID. Copy this value for the allocation submission.
+
+### 8.2 Execute Allocation (Merchant Victory Path)
+
+When the Progress is "Complete", the `merchant_victory_guard` passes, and 100% of funds go to the Service object.
+
+**Prompt**: Execute fund allocation with the merchant_victory_guard, submitting the Order ID.
+
+```json
+{
+  "operation_type": "allocation",
+  "data": {
+    "object": "alice_travel_allocation",
+    "alloc_by_guard": "merchant_victory_guard"
   },
   "submission": {
     "type": "submission",
     "guard": [
       {
-        "object": "travel_complete_guard_v1",
+        "object": "merchant_victory_guard",
         "impack": true
       }
     ],
     "submission": [
       {
-        "guard": "travel_complete_guard_v1",
+        "guard": "merchant_victory_guard",
         "submission": [
           {
             "identifier": 0,
             "b_submission": true,
             "value_type": "Address",
-            "value": "<travel_order_id>"
+            "value": "<ORDER_OBJECT_ID>",
+            "name": "Order ID"
           }
         ]
       }
     ]
+  },
+  "env": {
+    "account": "travel_provider",
+    "network": "testnet",
+    "no_cache": true
   }
 }
 ```
 
-> **Note**: Replace `<travel_progress_id>` and `<travel_order_id>` with actual values from step 8.1.
+> **Note**: Replace `<ORDER_OBJECT_ID>` with the actual Order object ID from Step 8.1.
+>
+> **Two-phase submission**: If the first call returns a submission prompt (without executing), re-call with the `submission` field populated as shown above.

+### 8.3 Execute Allocation (Refund Paths)
 
-## Step 9: Test Weather Check Guard (Optional)
+For refund scenarios (Cancel or SPA), use the corresponding Guard. The same submission structure applies — the Order ID is submitted to identifier 0.
 
-Test the weather check Guard independently to verify weather data is correctly stored.
+**Cancel/Ice Scooting path** (80% Service, 20% Order):
 
-**Prompt**: Test "weather_check_guard" with a sunny day timestamp.
+```json
+{
+  "operation_type": "allocation",
+  "data": {
+    "object": "alice_travel_allocation",
+    "alloc_by_guard": "no_ice_scooting_guard"
+  },
+  "submission": {
+    "type": "submission",
+    "guard": [{"object": "no_ice_scooting_guard", "impack": true}],
+    "submission": [{
+      "guard": "no_ice_scooting_guard",
+      "submission": [{"identifier": 0, "b_submission": true, "value_type": "Address", "value": "<ORDER_OBJECT_ID>", "name": "Order ID"}]
+    }]
+  },
+  "env": {"account": "travel_provider", "network": "testnet", "no_cache": true}
+}
+```
+
+**SPA path** (5% Service, 95% Order):
 
 ```json
 {
-  "operation_type": "gen_passport",
+  "operation_type": "allocation",
   "data": {
-    "guard": "weather_check_guard",

-      "guard": [
-        {
-          "object": "weather_check_guard",

-        }
-      ],
-      "submission": [
-        {
-          "guard": "weather_check_guard",
-          "submission": [
-            {
-              "identifier": 2,
-              "b_submission": true,
-              "value_type": "U64",
-              "value": 1745884800000
-            }
-          ]
-        }
-      ]
-    }
+    "object": "alice_travel_allocation",
+    "alloc_by_guard": "no_spa_guard"
   },
-  "env": {
-    "account": "travel_provider_v1",
-    "network": "testnet"
-  }
+  "submission": {
+    "type": "submission",
+    "guard": [{"object": "no_spa_guard", "impack": true}],
+    "submission": [{
+      "guard": "no_spa_guard",
+      "submission": [{"identifier": 0, "b_submission": true, "value_type": "Address", "value": "<ORDER_OBJECT_ID>", "name": "Order ID"}]
+    }]
+  },
+  "env": {"account": "travel_provider", "network": "testnet", "no_cache": true}
 }
 ```
 
-> **Note**: Replace the timestamp with one of the sunny day timestamps from step 0.1 (DAY1-DAY4). This should pass.
+### 8.4 Verify Allocation Result
 
-Test with a rainy day to verify rejection:
+After allocation, query the Allocation and Payment objects to verify the fund distribution.
 
-**Prompt**: Test "weather_check_guard" with a rainy day timestamp.
+**Prompt**: Query the Allocation object to verify the balance and payment records.
 
 ```json
 {
-  "operation_type": "gen_passport",
+  "operation_type": "allocation",
   "data": {
-    "guard": "weather_check_guard",
-    "info": {
-      "type": "submission",
-      "guard": [
-        {
-          "object": "weather_check_guard",
-          "impack": true
-        }
-      ],
-      "submission": [
-        {
-          "guard": "weather_check_guard",
-          "submission": [
-            {
-              "identifier": 2,
-              "b_submission": true,
-              "value_type": "U64",
-              "value": 1746230400000
-            }
-          ]
-        }
-      ]
-    }
+    "object": "alice_travel_allocation"
   },
   "env": {
-    "account": "travel_provider_v1",
-    "network": "testnet"
+    "network": "testnet",
+    "no_cache": true
   }
 }
 ```
 
-> **Note**: Replace the timestamp with the rainy day timestamp (DAY5). This should fail because the weather is "rainy", not "sunny".
+> **Expected result**: The Allocation `balance` should be 0 (all funds distributed), and the `payment` array should contain the Payment object ID(s) created by the allocation.
 
----
+**Allocation Operation Structure**:
+
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| `data.object` | string | Allocation object name/ID |
+| `data.alloc_by_guard` | string | Guard name/ID to verify (determines which allocator's rules apply) |
+| `submission` | object | Guard submission data (Order ID at identifier 0) |
+| `env.no_cache` | boolean | Set to `true` to avoid stale cache issues |
 
-## Execution Checklist
-
-- [ ] Create `travel_provider`, `weather_provider`, `alice` accounts
-- [ ] Get test tokens for all accounts
-- [ ] Step 0.1: Calculate weather timestamps
-- [ ] Step 0.2: Create `weather_repo` Repository
-- [ ] Step 0.3: Add "Condition" policy to repository
-- [ ] Step 0.4: Add weather data (5 days)
-- [ ] Step 1: Create `travel_permission`
-- [ ] Step 2: Create `travel_arbitration`
-- [ ] Step 3.1: Create `weather_check_guard` (update weather_repo address)
-- [ ] Step 3.2: Create `travel_complete_guard`
-- [ ] Step 3.3: Create `travel_cancel_guard`
-- [ ] Step 4: Create `travel_machine` (with nodes including Complete/Cancel, published)
-- [ ] Step 5: Create and publish `travel_service` (with machine, arbitration, sales, order_allocators)
-- [ ] Step 6: Unpause Service
-- [ ] Step 7: Verify Service configuration
-- [ ] Step 8.1: Create test travel order (as alice)
-- [ ] Step 8.2: Advance Initial -> Start
-- [ ] Step 8.3: Advance Start -> Buy Insurance
-- [ ] Step 8.4: Advance Buy Insurance -> SPA
-- [ ] Step 8.5: Advance SPA -> Ice Scooting
-- [ ] Step 8.6: Wait 1s, advance Ice Scooting -> Complete
-- [ ] Step 9: Test weather check Guard (sunny passes, rainy fails)
+> **Important**: `alloc_by_guard` accepts Guard names (e.g., `"merchant_victory_guard"`) or Guard object IDs. The Guard must exist in the Allocation's `allocators` list. Only the first Guard that passes (first-Guard-wins) triggers fund distribution.

 ## Best Practices
 
-### 1. Machine Node Configuration
+### 1. Guard Root Format
 
-Ensure at least one node has a pair with `prev_node: ""` (empty string). This defines the entry point from the initial state where Progress starts with `current: ""`.
+Guards use a direct GuardNode as the `root` field — no wrapper needed:
+```json
+"root": {
+  "type": "logic_equal",
+  "nodes": [...]
+}
+```
 
-### 2. Service Publish Requires order_allocators
+### 2. Machine Node Structure
 
-Always include the `order_allocators` field when publishing a Service. This defines how order revenue is distributed.
+Each node's `pairs` define how to **enter** that node. The `prev_node` specifies the source, and `forwards` are the operations to advance:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "TargetNode",
+  "pairs": [{
+    "prev_node": "SourceNode",
+    "threshold": 1,
+    "forwards": [{"name": "forward_name", "weight": 1, "permissionIndex": 1000}]
+  }]
+}
+```
 
-### 3. Progress Operation Format
+- Use `prev_node` (not `prior_node`)
+- `threshold` is required for every pair
+- Consolidate forwards with the same `prev_node` into one pair
 
-Use the `operate` field with `operation` object containing `next_node_name` and `forward`, not the `task` field.
+### 3. Machine Publish Before Service
 
-### 4. Repository Data Policy
+The Machine must be published (`"publish": true`) before binding it to a Service. Unpublished Machines cannot be referenced by Services.
 
-When creating a Repository, include policies in the initial `policies` field instead of adding them later (this avoids "Invalid policy name" errors).
+### 4. Service Creation in One Step
 
-### 5. Submission Format
+Create the Service with all configurations — including `pause: false` and `publish: true` — in a single operation:
+```json
+{
+  "pause": false,
+  "publish": true,
+  "order_allocators": {...},
+  "sales": {...},
+  "machine": "...",
+  "arbitrations": {...}
+}
+```
 
-Ensure submission items include `b_submission: true` for values submitted at runtime during progress advancement.
+### 5. Guard Submission for Progress
 
----
+When a forward has a Guard, the Progress operation requires a `submission` field at the **top level** (not inside `data`):
+```json
+{
+  "operation_type": "progress",
+  "data": {...},
+  "submission": {
+    "type": "submission",
+    "guard": [{"object": "guard_name", "impack": true}],
+    "submission": [{
+      "guard": "guard_name",
+      "submission": [{"identifier": 0, "b_submission": true, "value_type": "Address", "value": "0x...", "name": "Order ID"}]
+    }]
+  },
+  "env": {"no_cache": true, ...}
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Cache Management
+
+Add `"no_cache": true` to the `env` field for all Progress operations and queries after mutations to avoid stale cache issues.
 
-## See Also
+### 7. Weather Data Timestamps
 
-- [Insurance Example](../Insurance/Insurance.md) - The insurance service used as sub-order
-- [WOWOK Documentation](../../skills/WOWOK.md) - Core WoWok protocol documentation
+Weather data in the Repository is keyed by timestamp (`id`). The `weather_check_guard` queries `repository.data has("Condition", convert_number_address(activity_date))` — the `activity_date` submitted at runtime in Step 7.3 **must exactly match** the `id` used when adding data in Step 0.4.
+
+- Always align timestamps to UTC 00:00:00 (`Math.floor(now / DAY_MS) * DAY_MS`) so they are reproducible.
+- Re-run `calc-weather-timestamps.js` at test time — the values depend on the current date.
+- The Guard only checks data **existence**, not the condition value. A "rainy" day will still pass. To reject by condition value, use a Guard querying `repository.data` with a value comparison.
+
+### 8. Order Placement
+
+Customers place orders using the `order_new` field in the Service operation. This automatically creates Order, Progress, and Allocation objects:
+```json
+{
+  "operation_type": "service",
+  "data": {
+    "object": "service_name",
+    "order_new": {
+      "buy": {
+        "items": [{"name": "Product", "stock": "1", "wip_hash": ""}],
+        "total_pay": {"balance": "price_amount"}
+      },
+      "namedNewOrder": {"name": "order_name", "replaceExistName": true},
+      "namedNewProgress": {"name": "progress_name", "replaceExistName": true},
+      "namedNewAllocation": {"name": "allocation_name", "replaceExistName": true}
+    }
+  },
+  "env": {"account": "customer", "network": "testnet"}
+}
+```
