+## Kalshi API Compatibility Notes (March 2026)
+
+Kalshi migrated API payloads from legacy integer-centric fields to fixed-point fields.
+
+- **March 10, 2026:** fixed-point migration docs updated
+- **March 12, 2026:** legacy integer fields removed from API responses (per migration timeline)
+
+### What changed
+
+Use these fields when parsing order/fill data:
+
+- `fill_count_fp` (string) instead of `fill_count`
+- `taker_fill_cost_dollars` (string dollars) instead of `taker_fill_cost` (cents)
+- `yes_price_dollars` / `no_price_dollars` for price strings
+- similar `_fp` / `_dollars` fields across REST + WebSocket
+
+### Why this matters for Kalbot
+
+If code only reads legacy integer fields, a real fill can be interpreted as zero fill, causing:
+- missing ntfy fill alerts
+- position visible on Kalshi but not tracked correctly in local live state
