- yfinance returned its errors as text, which the router counted as an answer, so the chain stopped and the text reached the analyst
- an empty result is checked against the vendor being reachable, so an outage is not reported as a company with no data
- a chain where every vendor is unavailable says so instead of ending the run
- xAI: Grok 4.6 and 4.5; DeepSeek: deepseek-flash (V4.1); Qwen: the 3.8 series; Mistral: the current dated snapshots
- every provider can name a model the picker does not list
- retired IDs stay valid, so existing configs run without a warning
- a price written as a range or a hedge is dropped like any other unusable value
- a field the model did not give is named as not provided, rather than omitted
- the custom model option does not exist for every provider; name any model ID instead
- alpha is measured against the regional benchmark, not always SPY
- the environment overrides a fixed set of config keys
- list the providers the picker offers, and the macro data key
- drop the example call to a method that was removed
- 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
- rows carry the transaction date; a Form 4 is filed up to two business days later
- an indicator that could not be read is unavailable, not a blank value for the day
- gap filling keeps indicators on a continuous series, but put the previous session's open, high and low under an unsettled bar's date
- load_ohlcv takes fill_gaps, and the snapshot reads the frame as reported
- the fundamentals brief reached the model as a Python tuple
- analysts no longer emit a trade call that nothing reads
- a report that was not produced says so instead of appearing as a blank section
- holding_period_days sets it; the price request covers the calendar span those trading days occupy
- reflection states the window it judges, so a short one does not read as a failed thesis
- a Sell that fell counted as a miss and a Sell that rose as a hit
- Hold claims no direction, so it reports mean alpha and no hit rate
- the report names the window the outcomes were measured over
- a non-blank message is text, whatever it would mean as a Python literal
- the live layout renders on the alternate screen, so a tall layout does not scroll
- a run with no readable rating says so instead of looking like a normal result
- the state log keeps non-ASCII readable (#1081)
- the field list lived only in the schema, which a provider without structured output never sees
- the trader maps the five-tier recommendation onto its three actions
- the labelled rating decides, whatever dash separates it, and a scale the model echoed is not one
- prose naming several ratings is reviewed rather than read as the first word in the text
- an unreadable decision is tagged REVIEW everywhere instead of a tradeable Hold
- unrated decisions are counted apart from the backtest figures
- statements are limited to facts filed by the run's date, at the values filed then
- quarterly figures are picked by span, so a year to date total is not read as a quarter
- a fourth quarter is reported unavailable rather than derived
- opt in with sec_edgar in the fundamental_data chain; a non-filer falls through
- settling a past decision is per entry; a provider error leaves it pending
- an explicitly configured benchmark ticker is normalized like any other symbol (#1075)
- 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
- 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
- run_backtest runs the pipeline per cell into its own decision log and resumes by skipping logged cells
- summarize scores settled cells by rating on realized alpha
- settle_pending settles a ticker whose last decision would otherwise stay open
- PortfolioContext input, rendered once into state and read by the trader, risk and portfolio agents
- --portfolio JSON file on the CLI
- a run without it is never treated as a flat book
- the checkpoint signature keys on the portfolio
- the key prompt created .env with the default umask, typically readable by
other local users
- create it 0600 and tighten an existing file before writing the key; a
read-only file is still updated
- FRED and Alpha Vantage authenticate with a query parameter, and requests
quotes the full URL in HTTP, connection and timeout errors, so the key was
written into any log or traceback that recorded one
- route both vendors through one request helper that re-raises a requests error
as the same class with the key removed, carrying no request, response or
exception chain, each of which still held the URL #1324
- anonymous RSS allows about one request per minute per IP, so fetching each
subreddit separately hit a 429 and a 60s back-off on nearly every run
- search the subreddits as one combined feed at Reddit's full page size and
group posts by the subreddit each entry names; each subreddit keeps its own
limit, and a full page is not taken as evidence of absence
- drop the unused JSON search path, still blocked with a 403, and the
per-subreddit pacing; arguments after subreddits are keyword-only
- the sentiment prompt no longer asks for vote and comment counts, which the
RSS feed does not carry
- Yahoo news and the Reddit and StockTwits feeds serve only recent items, so a
historical window trimmed to nothing was reported as "no news" or "no
posts", and the sentiment analyst scored that silence as a neutral signal
- judge each empty window in one shared rule: it is a real absence only when
the feed's coverage reaches the window's first day and the window ends by
today; otherwise report it unavailable with where coverage starts
- coverage comes from the returned timestamps, which are newest-first on these
feeds, plus Reddit's one-week search lookback; merged global-news searches
prove no continuity and are bounded by the present alone
- state in the sentiment analyst that historical sentiment inputs are not
guaranteed to be point-in-time
- OpenAI: gpt-6-astra
- Google: gemini-3.8-flash and gemini-3.5-flash-lite
- Anthropic: claude-opus-5 and claude-fable-5-1
- models taken out of the picker stay valid through LEGACY_MODELS, so configs
that name them run without an unknown-model warning
