Yijia-Xiao f8042efdde fix(agents): keep one unreadable price from discarding the decision
- 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

"""Pydantic schemas used by agents that produce structured output.
The framework's primary artifact is still prose: each agent's natural-language
reasoning is what users read in the saved markdown reports and what the
downstream agents read as context. Structured output is layered onto the
three decision-making agents (Research Manager, Trader, Portfolio Manager)
so that:
- Their outputs follow consistent section headers across runs and providers
- Each provider's native structured-output mode is used (json_schema for
OpenAI/xAI, response_schema for Gemini, tool-use for Anthropic)
- Schema field descriptions become the model's output instructions, freeing
the prompt body to focus on context and the rating-scale guidance
- A render helper turns the parsed Pydantic instance back into the same
markdown shape the rest of the system already consumes, so display,
memory log, and saved reports keep working unchanged

Three shapes show up in practice: a placeholder string ("None", "N/A") in
place of an omitted value (#1058); a percentage where a price was asked for
("15%", #1288); and a human-formatted price ("$1,234.50"). A percentage
cannot be salvaged into an absolute level -- reading "15%" as 15 would put a
stop at $15 on a $600 stock -- so it is dropped like a placeholder, leaving
one bad field to null out instead of failing the whole proposal. A formatted
price is reduced to its number.
Anything that is not a single number is dropped the same way. A range
("150-160") or a hedge ("around 150") would otherwise reach pydantic, fail
validation, and discard the whole decision, losing every field the model got
right along with the price.
