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
