- backtest takes --run-id, so an interrupted sweep continues
- an inverted date range or an empty ticker list is an error, not a clean zero-cell run
- a setup failure in a sweep reports one line instead of a traceback
- the remembered endpoint URL is offered back
- a round count set in the environment says it overrode the chosen research depth
- the run directory validates the ticker, and the report saves under results_dir
- the run says whether it resumed a saved run or started fresh
- analysts, depth, provider, models and language prefill; prompts still shown
- values no longer offered by the current catalog are dropped
- environment variables keep skipping their step
