Makes config_path an internal server detail rather than an API parameter.
Changes:
- Remove config_path from SimulateTriggerRequest
- Add config_path parameter to create_app() with default
- Store in app.state.config_path for internal use
- Update trigger endpoint to use internal config path
- Change missing config error from 400 to 500 (server error)
API calls now only need to specify date_range (and optionally models):
POST /simulate/trigger
{"date_range": ["2025-01-16"]}
The server uses configs/default_config.json by default.
This simplifies the API and hides implementation details from clients.
Changed the API to respect the 'enabled' field in model configurations,
rather than requiring models to be explicitly specified in API requests.
Changes:
- Make 'models' parameter optional in POST /simulate/trigger
- If models not provided, read config and use enabled models
- If models provided, use as explicit override (for testing)
- Raise error if no enabled models found and none specified
- Update response message to show model count
Behavior:
- Default: Only runs models with "enabled": true in config
- Override: Can still specify models in request for manual testing
- Safety: Prevents accidental execution of disabled/expensive models
Example before (required):
POST /simulate/trigger
{"config_path": "...", "date_range": [...], "models": ["gpt-4"]}
Example after (optional):
POST /simulate/trigger
{"config_path": "...", "date_range": [...]}
# Uses models where enabled: true
This makes the config file the source of truth for which models
should run, while still allowing ad-hoc overrides for testing.
The web UI (docs/index.html, portfolio.html) exists but is not served
in API mode. Removing the port configuration to eliminate confusion.
Changes:
- Remove port 8888 mapping from docker-compose.yml
- Remove WEB_HTTP_PORT from .env.example
- Update Dockerfile EXPOSE to only port 8080
- Update CHANGELOG.md to document removal
Technical details:
- Web UI static files remain in docs/ folder (legacy from batch mode)
- These were designed for JSONL file format, not the new SQLite database
- No web server was ever started in entrypoint.sh for API mode
- Port 8888 was exposed but nothing listened on it
Result:
- Cleaner configuration (1 fewer port mapping)
- Only REST API (8080) is exposed
- Eliminates user confusion about non-functional web UI
Consolidated the configuration simplification changes (RUNTIME_ENV_PATH
removal, API_PORT cleanup, MCP port removal) into the v0.3.0 release
notes under the 'Changed - Configuration' section.
This ensures all v0.3.0 changes are documented together in a single
release entry rather than split across Unreleased and v0.3.0 sections.
MCP services are completely internal to the container and accessed
only via localhost. They should not be configurable or exposed.
Changes:
- Remove MATH_HTTP_PORT, SEARCH_HTTP_PORT, TRADE_HTTP_PORT,
GETPRICE_HTTP_PORT from docker-compose.yml environment
- Remove MCP service port mappings from docker-compose.yml
- Remove MCP port configuration from .env.example
- Update README.md to remove MCP port configuration
- Update CLAUDE.md to clarify MCP services use fixed internal ports
- Update CHANGELOG.md with these simplifications
Technical details:
- MCP services hardcode to ports 8000-8003 via os.getenv() defaults
- Services only accessed via localhost URLs within container:
- http://localhost:8000/mcp (math)
- http://localhost:8001/mcp (search)
- http://localhost:8002/mcp (trade)
- http://localhost:8003/mcp (price)
- No external access needed or desired for these services
- Only API (8080) and web dashboard (8888) should be exposed
Benefits:
- Simpler configuration (4 fewer environment variables)
- Reduced attack surface (4 fewer exposed ports)
- Clearer architecture (internal vs external services)
- Prevents accidental misconfiguration of internal services
The API_PORT variable was incorrectly included in the container's
environment section. It should only be used for host port mapping
in docker-compose.yml, not passed into the container.
Changes:
- Remove API_PORT from environment section in docker-compose.yml
- Container always uses port 8080 internally (hardcoded in entrypoint.sh)
- API_PORT in .env/.env.example only controls the host-side mapping:
ports: "${API_PORT:-8080}:8080" (host:container)
Why this matters:
- Prevents confusion about whether API_PORT changes internal port
- Clarifies that entrypoint.sh hardcodes --port 8080
- Simplifies container environment (one less unused variable)
- More explicit about the port mapping behavior
No functional change - the container was already ignoring this variable.
Simplifies deployment configuration by removing the RUNTIME_ENV_PATH
environment variable, which is no longer needed for API mode.
Changes:
- Remove RUNTIME_ENV_PATH from docker-compose.yml
- Remove RUNTIME_ENV_PATH from .env.example
- Update CLAUDE.md to reflect API-managed runtime configs
- Update README.md to remove RUNTIME_ENV_PATH from config examples
- Update CHANGELOG.md with this simplification
Technical details:
- API mode dynamically creates isolated runtime config files via
RuntimeConfigManager (data/runtime_env_{job_id}_{model}_{date}.json)
- tools/general_tools.py already handles missing RUNTIME_ENV_PATH
gracefully, returning empty dict and warning on writes
- No functional impact - all tests pass without this variable set
- Reduces configuration complexity for new deployments
Breaking change: None - variable was vestigial from batch mode era
Removes dual-mode deployment complexity, focusing on REST API service only.
Changes:
- Removed batch mode from docker-compose.yml (now single ai-trader service)
- Deleted scripts/test_batch_mode.sh validation script
- Renamed entrypoint-api.sh to entrypoint.sh (now default)
- Simplified Dockerfile (single entrypoint, removed CMD)
- Updated validation scripts to use 'ai-trader' service name
- Updated documentation (README.md, TESTING_GUIDE.md, CHANGELOG.md)
Benefits:
- Eliminates port conflicts between batch and API services
- Simpler configuration and deployment
- API-first architecture aligned with Windmill integration
- Reduced maintenance complexity
Breaking Changes:
- Batch mode no longer available
- All simulations must use REST API endpoints
Update changelog with comprehensive release notes including:
- All features added during alpha testing phase
- Configuration improvements and new documentation
- Bug fixes and stability improvements
- Corrected release date to 2025-10-31
