BREAKING CHANGE: end_date is now required and cannot be null/empty
New Features:
- Resume mode: Set start_date to null to continue from last completed date per model
- Idempotent by default: Skip already-completed dates with replace_existing=false
- Per-model independence: Each model resumes from its own last completed date
- Cold start handling: If no data exists in resume mode, runs only end_date as single day
API Changes:
- start_date: Now optional (null enables resume mode)
- end_date: Now REQUIRED (cannot be null or empty string)
- replace_existing: New optional field (default: false for idempotent behavior)
Implementation:
- Added JobManager.get_last_completed_date_for_model() method
- Added JobManager.get_completed_model_dates() method
- Updated create_job() to support model_day_filter for selective task creation
- Fixed bug with start_date=None in price data checks
Documentation:
- Updated API_REFERENCE.md with complete examples and behavior matrix
- Updated QUICK_START.md with resume mode examples
- Updated docs/user-guide/using-the-api.md
- Added CHANGELOG_NEW_API.md with migration guide
- Updated all integration tests for new schema
- Updated client library examples (Python, TypeScript)
Migration:
- Old: {"start_date": "2025-01-16"}
- New: {"start_date": "2025-01-16", "end_date": "2025-01-16"}
- Resume: {"start_date": null, "end_date": "2025-01-31"}

Reorganize documentation into user-focused, developer-focused, and deployment-focused sections.
**New structure:**
- Root: README.md (streamlined), QUICK_START.md, API_REFERENCE.md
- docs/user-guide/: configuration, API usage, integrations, troubleshooting
- docs/developer/: contributing, development setup, testing, architecture
- docs/deployment/: Docker deployment, production checklist, monitoring
- docs/reference/: environment variables, MCP tools, data formats
**Changes:**
- Streamline README.md from 831 to 469 lines
- Create QUICK_START.md for 5-minute onboarding
- Create API_REFERENCE.md as single source of truth for API
- Remove 9 outdated specification docs (v0.2.0 API design)
- Remove DOCKER_API.md (content consolidated into new structure)
- Remove docs/plans/ directory with old design documents
- Update CLAUDE.md with documentation structure guide
- Remove orchestration-specific references
**Benefits:**
- Clear entry points for different audiences
- No content duplication
- Better discoverability through logical hierarchy
- All content reflects current v0.3.0 API
