Replaces #86, which was opened from a branch in this repository. The changes are the same; the commits were re-signed with corrected authorship.

Addresses migration note archived-bisq1-trade-limit-macros ("Trade limits: restored macro values are historical"), which lists 23 articles.

Where the values come from

The 0.0624 BTC and 0.50 BTC figures are not written in the article sources. Each of the 23 articles contains only a macro call, kept as <span class="wiki-template-gap">…{{MaxTradeSizeBisq1}}…</span> (or {{MaxTradeSizeAltcoin}} on Main Page and Templates as macros). At build time scripts/lib/archived-templates.mjs replaces each call with the value of the archived template, recorded in migration/template-renderings-20261014.json:

Template Archived value Template revision Placements
MaxTradeSizeBisq1 (archive-templates/644.wiki.txt) 0.0624 BTC 3891, 30 January 2025 26 in 23 articles
MaxTradeSizeAltcoin (archive-templates/645.wiki.txt) 0.50 BTC 3893, 30 January 2025 2 (Main Page, Templates as macros)

Change

A render-time label, not an article wording change. Each of these 28 expansions keeps its archived value and its existing "2026 source" link, followed by:

(historical wiki value; check the limit shown in Bisq 1)

The link goes to the migration note already shown, open, at the top of each of these pages. To make that possible, each migration-note section now has an id (migration-note-<note id>) in src/components/SourceHistory.astro. The renderer throws if a labelled template ever appears on a page that does not show the note, so the link cannot point nowhere.

The note itself stays as it is. An earlier commit added two sentences and two sources to it; that edit was dropped because existing migration notes are now frozen (#188). Only the label remains.

Example, Zelle: "Maximum BTC per Trade: 0.0624 BTC2026 source" → "Maximum BTC per Trade: 0.0624 BTC2026 source (historical wiki value; check the limit shown in Bisq 1)".

Not labelled: MaxTradeSizeUnsigned (.002 BTC) and MinTradeSizeToBeSigned (.0005), which the note does not cover; .002 BTC matches the pinned code's small-trade amount and note bisq1-dynamic-limits. MaxBisqEasyTrade (Bisq 2) is also unchanged.

Why not per-article wording

  • The article sources hold no number to correct, only the macro call. A wording change would mean adding text next to 28 placements in 23 articles, several of which are still one-line sources needing a formatting commit first.
  • Editing the template renderings would break their hash receipts and misrepresent what the archive contains.
  • The note does not say 0.0624 BTC is wrong, only that it is not universal. Under the pinned code, if the DAO parameter is at or above the 0.25 BTC clamp, the risk-factor formula gives 0.0624 BTC for the highest-risk methods (factor 4), 0.0832 (3), 0.1252 (2) and 0.25 BTC (1); Bisq's own TradeLimitsTest asserts these values. NEFT, UPI, PayTM, Bizum and Tikkie scale their own limits instead (at the cap 0.0025, 0.00625, 0.00625, 0.005 and 0.00625 BTC), and account signing and age can lower the allowance for buyers using chargeback-risk methods. This is arithmetic from the code; the live DAO parameter was not looked up. So the label says "check the limit shown in Bisq 1" rather than "not a valid limit". Bisq enforces the limit when an offer is created, so a reader cannot exceed it by following the page.

Sources

At Bisq commit ea9d5dff90c99ac462f2b0a7bf9ef92683956619 (tag v1.10.11):

What was checked and what was not

  • Checked: the source lines above; all 28 placements render the label (test in scripts/archived-templates.test.mjs, which fails if the label or the altcoin mapping is removed); the 23 labelled pages match the note's source_slugs exactly; no label lands inside a link, heading or code element. Pages that show any migration note differ from main by the new section ids; the 23 labelled pages also by the label.
  • Not done: nothing was run in the Bisq application, no offer was created, and the live DAO parameter value was not checked.
  • Possibly worth a separate look: the "2026 source" superscript names the archive capture date, not the January 2025 template revision; the 0.50 BTC altcoin value is above the 0.25 BTC cap (the note mentions the clamp); Zelle's hard-coded "limited to 0.01 BTC" for unsigned trades is not a macro and is not labelled, while the pinned code gives 0.002 BTC.

Overlap

No article files change, so there is no textual overlap with #155, #156, #158, #159, #161, #162, #163 or #166. #155, #159, #161, #162, #163 and #166 edit other lines in some of the same articles; #156 and #158 change hard-coded numbers in Account limits and Payment methods, which are not macros and are not labelled here.

Expected check results

No wording, receipt or note changes, so the restoration gate passes: npm test 167/167, and DOCS_SITE=https://bisq-network.github.io DOCS_BASE=/documentation/ npm run build passes ("Source fidelity passed: 209 original bodies/titles/raw sources…", "Checked 601 HTML pages…").

The 0.0624 BTC and 0.50 BTC values on 23 articles come from the archived
MaxTradeSizeBisq1 and MaxTradeSizeAltcoin templates, expanded at build
time; the article sources contain only the macro calls. Keep the archived
values and add a short label at render time that links to the page's
existing migration note, so no article wording or template receipt
changes.

Sources: Bisq 1 v1.10.11 TradeLimits.java L40-L88 (0.25 BTC clamp, DAO
parameter) and PaymentMethod.java L395-L431 (risk-factor calculation),
commit ea9d5dff.
The label now says "check the limit shown in Bisq 1", and the note names
where: the payment account's Limitations field, and the create-offer
amount check. Tikkie scales its own default (0.05 BTC times the clamped
DAO parameter over 2 BTC), so under v1.10.11 it is at most 0.00625 BTC
and the 0.0624 BTC on its page never applies; the note says so and cites
the default.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Archived Bisq 1 trade-limit values now display a historical-value label linking to a migration note.
    • Migration notes have linkable page sections.
  • Tests
    • Added checks for the archived values and labels, and to ensure current account limits are not labeled historical.

Archived Bisq 1 trade-limit expansions now show historical-value labels that link to migration notes. Migration-note sections receive IDs for those links. Tests check the archived values and labels, and confirm that the account-limits article has no historical-value label.

Changes: Archived Trade-Limit History Links

Generate and link historical-value labels
scripts/lib/archived-templates.mjs, src/components/SourceHistory.astro, scripts/archived-templates.test.mjs
The two archived trade-limit macros map to a migration note. Their inline expansions add a label that links to the note, whose section now has an ID. Tests check the archived values and labels, and verify that the account-limits article has no historical-value label.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Low · up to 35e41

The new historical-value labels are accurate and link to valid targets, but they do not tell readers where to find the current limit. This is a minor documentation gap and does not block merging.

Explanation

The description is complete and relevant. It explains the change, affected macro placements, migration note, source revisions, evidence, limitations, overlap, and reported test results. It does not use every template heading verbatim, and it does not provide a separate Articles section, but the required information appears elsewhere in the description.

main converted the articles to Markdown and froze the existing migration
notes (bisq-network#188). The note archived-bisq1-trade-limit-macros stays as main has
it, so this branch no longer extends it; only the render-time label
remains. The label test now renders each article first, as the site does.
