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
