- selections.py asks what to run; run.py builds the graph, streams it to the live view and saves the report
- main.py keeps the Typer app and its two commands
- display.py holds the message buffer, layout, status tables and report panels, the analyst wall-time tracker (CLI-only, from graph/analyst_execution) and the one Console
- utils.py is renamed prompts.py, which is what it holds; its analyst list is ANALYST_CHOICES, apart from display's ANALYST_ORDER
- get_initial_analyst_node, a one-line helper with one caller, is inlined
- the wall-time tracker tests sit with the other display tests, and tests import cli.prompts as prompts
- analysis stays the bare invocation; backtest runs a ticker and date grid
- selections name the models as the config does
- the pending note prints only when a cell is pending
Interactive selections and flag defaults overrode TRADINGAGENTS_* env vars.
Rule: an explicit env value or CLI flag wins; otherwise the env-applied
default is kept.
- Research depth: skip the prompt when both round-count env vars are set, and
stop overwriting them (#977).
- Checkpoint: --checkpoint/--no-checkpoint is tri-state; omitting it keeps
TRADINGAGENTS_CHECKPOINT_ENABLED (#976).
- Docker ollama: use TRADINGAGENTS_LLM_PROVIDER + OLLAMA_BASE_URL, not a bare
LLM_PROVIDER the overlay never reads (#975).
- Reasoning/thinking knobs: settable via env; the prompt is skipped when set.
- Effort gating: forward effort only to models that accept it (Anthropic
Opus 4.5+/Sonnet 4.6+, OpenAI reasoning models); drop it elsewhere.
- Boolean env values: raise a named error on invalid input instead of
silently becoming False.
Setting the LLM env vars now skips the matching CLI selection step and uses
the value, so OpenAI-compatible endpoints (opencode, LM Studio, etc.) and
unattended runs work without prompting. Unset vars are chosen interactively
as before.
TRADINGAGENTS_LLM_PROVIDER -> skips provider step (still verifies API key)
TRADINGAGENTS_LLM_BACKEND_URL -> custom endpoint (else provider default)
TRADINGAGENTS_DEEP_THINK_LLM / _QUICK_THINK_LLM -> skips model step
TRADINGAGENTS_OUTPUT_LANGUAGE -> skips language step
Builds on the existing TRADINGAGENTS_* config overrides (which already feed
DEFAULT_CONFIG); this wires the CLI to honor them instead of re-prompting.
