 ### GET /results

-Get trading results grouped by day with daily P&L metrics and AI reasoning.
+Get trading results with optional date range and portfolio performance metrics.

 **Query Parameters:**

 | Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
 |-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `job_id` | string | No | Filter by job UUID |
-| `date` | string | No | Filter by trading date (YYYY-MM-DD) |
+| `start_date` | string | No | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). If provided alone, acts as single date. If omitted, defaults to 30 days ago. |
+| `end_date` | string | No | End date (YYYY-MM-DD). If provided alone, acts as single date. If omitted, defaults to today. |
 | `model` | string | No | Filter by model signature |
-| `reasoning` | string | No | Include AI reasoning: `none` (default), `summary`, or `full` |
+| `job_id` | string | No | Filter by job UUID |
+| `reasoning` | string | No | Include reasoning: `none` (default), `summary`, or `full`. Ignored for date range queries. |

-**Response (200 OK) - Default (no reasoning):**
+**Breaking Change:**
+- The `date` parameter has been removed. Use `start_date` and/or `end_date` instead.
+- Requests using `date` will receive `422 Unprocessable Entity` error.
+
+**Default Behavior:**
+- If no dates provided: Returns last 30 days (configurable via `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS`)
+- If only `start_date`: Single-date query (end_date = start_date)
+- If only `end_date`: Single-date query (start_date = end_date)
+- If both provided and equal: Single-date query (detailed format)
+- If both provided and different: Date range query (metrics format)
+
+**Response - Single Date (detailed):**

-
-**Daily P&L Calculation:**
-
-Daily profit/loss is calculated by valuing the previous day's ending holdings at current day's opening prices:
-
-1. **First trading day**: `daily_profit = 0`, `daily_return_pct = 0` (no previous holdings to appreciate/depreciate)
-2. **Subsequent days**:
-   - Value yesterday's ending holdings at today's opening prices
-   - `daily_profit = today_portfolio_value - yesterday_portfolio_value`
-   - `daily_return_pct = (daily_profit / yesterday_portfolio_value) * 100`
-
-This accurately captures portfolio appreciation from price movements, not just trading decisions.
-
-**Weekend Gap Handling:**
-
-The system correctly handles multi-day gaps (weekends, holidays):
- `days_since_last_trading` shows actual calendar days elapsed (e.g., 3 for Monday following Friday)
- Daily P&L reflects cumulative price changes over the gap period
- Holdings chain remains consistent (Monday starts with Friday's ending positions)

+### Added
+- **Comprehensive Test Coverage Improvements** - Increased coverage from 61% to 84.81% (+23.81 percentage points)
+  - 406 passing tests (up from 364 with 42 failures)
+  - Added 57 new tests across 7 modules
+  - New test suites:
+    - `tools/general_tools.py`: 26 tests (97% coverage) - config management, conversation extraction
+    - `tools/price_tools.py`: 11 tests - NASDAQ symbol validation, weekend date handling
+    - `api/price_data_manager.py`: 12 tests (85% coverage) - date expansion, prioritization, progress callbacks
+    - `api/routes/results_v2.py`: 3 tests (98% coverage) - validation, deprecated parameters
+    - `agent/reasoning_summarizer.py`: 2 tests (87% coverage) - trade formatting, error handling
+    - `api/routes/period_metrics.py`: 2 tests (100% coverage) - edge cases
+    - `agent/mock_provider`: 1 test (100% coverage) - string representation
+- **Database Connection Management** - Context manager pattern to prevent connection leaks
+  - New `db_connection()` context manager for guaranteed cleanup
+  - Updated 16+ test files to use context managers
+  - Fixes 42 test failures caused by SQLite database locking
+- **Date Range Support in /results Endpoint** - Query multiple dates in single request with period performance metrics
+  - `start_date` and `end_date` parameters replace deprecated `date` parameter
+  - Returns lightweight format with daily portfolio values and period metrics for date ranges
+  - Period metrics: period return %, annualized return %, calendar days, trading days
+  - Default to last 30 days when no dates provided (configurable via `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS`)
+  - Automatic edge trimming when requested range exceeds available data
+  - Per-model results grouping
+- **Environment Variable:** `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS` - Configure default lookback period (default: 30)
+
+### Changed
+- **BREAKING:** `/results` endpoint parameter `date` removed - use `start_date`/`end_date` instead
+  - Single date: `?start_date=2025-01-16` or `?end_date=2025-01-16`
+  - Date range: `?start_date=2025-01-16&end_date=2025-01-20`
+  - Old `?date=2025-01-16` now returns 422 error with migration instructions
+- Database schema improvements:
+  - Added CHECK constraint for `action_type` field (must be 'buy', 'sell', or 'hold')
+  - Added ON DELETE CASCADE to trading_days foreign key
+  - Updated `drop_all_tables()` to match new schema (trading_days, actions vs old positions, trading_sessions)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical:** Database connection leaks causing 42 test failures
+  - Root cause: Tests opened SQLite connections but didn't close them on failures
+  - Solution: Created `db_connection()` context manager with guaranteed cleanup in finally block
+  - All test files updated to use context managers
+- Test suite SQL statement errors:
+  - Updated INSERT statements with all required fields (config_path, date_range, models, created_at)
+  - Fixed SQL binding mismatches in test fixtures
+- API integration test failures:
+  - Fixed date parameter handling for new results endpoint
+  - Updated test assertions for API field name changes
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+**Before:**
+```bash
+GET /results?date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+```
+
+**After:**
+```bash
+# Option 1: Use start_date only
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+
+# Option 2: Use both (same result for single date)
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&end_date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+
+# New: Date range queries
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&end_date=2025-01-20&model=gpt-4
+```
+
+**Python Client:**
+```python
+# OLD (will break)
+results = client.get_results(date="2025-01-16")
+
+# NEW
+results = client.get_results(start_date="2025-01-16")
+results = client.get_results(start_date="2025-01-16", end_date="2025-01-20")
+```

+## [0.4.3] - 2025-11-07
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical:** Fixed cross-job portfolio continuity bug where subsequent jobs reset to initial position
+  - Root cause: Two database query functions (`get_previous_trading_day()` and `get_starting_holdings()`) filtered by `job_id`, preventing them from finding previous day's position when queried from a different job
+  - Impact: New jobs on consecutive dates would start with $10,000 cash and empty holdings instead of continuing from previous job's ending position (e.g., Job 2 on 2025-10-08 started with $10,000 instead of $329.825 cash and lost all stock holdings from Job 1 on 2025-10-07)
+  - Solution: Removed `job_id` filters from SQL queries to enable cross-job position lookups, matching the existing design in `get_current_position_from_db()` which already supported cross-job continuity
+  - Fix ensures complete portfolio continuity (both cash and holdings) across jobs for the same model
+  - Added comprehensive test coverage with `test_get_previous_trading_day_across_jobs` and `test_get_starting_holdings_across_jobs`
+  - Locations: `api/database.py:622-630` (get_previous_trading_day), `api/database.py:674-681` (get_starting_holdings), `tests/unit/test_database_helpers.py:133-169,265-316`
+
+## [0.4.2] - 2025-11-07
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical:** Fixed negative cash position bug where trades calculated from initial capital instead of accumulating
+  - Root cause: MCP tools return `CallToolResult` objects with position data in `structuredContent` field, but `ContextInjector` was checking `isinstance(result, dict)` which always failed
+  - Impact: Each trade checked cash against initial $10,000 instead of cumulative position, allowing over-spending and resulting in negative cash balances (e.g., -$8,768.68 after 11 trades totaling $18,768.68)
+  - Solution: Updated `ContextInjector` to extract position dict from `CallToolResult.structuredContent` before validation
+  - Fix ensures proper intra-day position tracking with cumulative cash checks preventing over-trading
+  - Updated unit tests to mock `CallToolResult` objects matching production MCP behavior
+  - Locations: `agent/context_injector.py:95-109`, `tests/unit/test_context_injector.py:26-53`
+- Enabled MCP service logging by redirecting stdout/stderr from `/dev/null` to main process for better debugging
+  - Previously, all MCP tool debug output was silently discarded
+  - Now visible in docker logs for diagnosing parameter injection and trade execution issues
+  - Location: `agent_tools/start_mcp_services.py:81-88`
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical:** Fixed stale jobs blocking new jobs after Docker container restart
+  - Root cause: Jobs with status 'pending', 'downloading_data', or 'running' remained in database after container shutdown, preventing new job creation
+  - Solution: Added `cleanup_stale_jobs()` method that runs on FastAPI startup to mark interrupted jobs as 'failed' or 'partial' based on completion percentage
+  - Intelligent status determination: Uses existing progress tracking (completed/total model-days) to distinguish between failed (0% complete) and partial (>0% complete)
+  - Detailed error messages include original status and completion counts (e.g., "Job interrupted by container restart (was running, 3/10 model-days completed)")
+  - Incomplete job_details automatically marked as 'failed' with clear error messages
+  - Deployment-aware: Skips cleanup in DEV mode when database is reset, always runs in PROD mode
+  - Comprehensive test coverage: 6 new unit tests covering all cleanup scenarios
+  - Locations: `api/job_manager.py:702-779`, `api/main.py:164-168`, `tests/unit/test_job_manager.py:451-609`
+- Fixed Pydantic validation errors when using DeepSeek models via OpenRouter
+  - Root cause: LangChain's `parse_tool_call()` has a bug where it sometimes returns `args` as JSON string instead of parsed dict object
+  - Solution: Added `ToolCallArgsParsingWrapper` that:
+    1. Patches `parse_tool_call()` to detect and fix string args by parsing them to dict
+    2. Normalizes non-standard tool_call formats (e.g., `{name, args, id}` → `{function: {name, arguments}, id}`)
+  - The wrapper is defensive and only acts when needed, ensuring compatibility with all AI providers
+  - Fixes validation error: `tool_calls.0.args: Input should be a valid dictionary [type=dict_type, input_value='...', input_type=str]`
+
+## [0.4.1] - 2025-11-06
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed "No trading" message always displaying despite trading activity by initializing `IF_TRADE` to `True` (trades expected by default)
+- Root cause: `IF_TRADE` was initialized to `False` in runtime config but never updated when trades executed
+
+### Note
+- ChatDeepSeek integration was reverted as it conflicts with OpenRouter unified gateway architecture
+- System uses `OPENAI_API_BASE` (OpenRouter) with single `OPENAI_API_KEY` for all providers
+- Sporadic DeepSeek validation errors appear to be transient and do not require code changes

+## Position Tracking Across Jobs
+
+**Design:** Portfolio state is tracked per-model across all jobs, not per-job.
+
+**Query Logic:**
+```python
+# Get starting position for current trading day
+SELECT id, ending_cash FROM trading_days
+WHERE model = ? AND date < ?  # No job_id filter
+ORDER BY date DESC
+LIMIT 1
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Portfolio continuity when creating new jobs with overlapping dates
+- Prevents accidental portfolio resets
+- Enables flexible job scheduling (resume, rerun, backfill)
+
+**Example:**
+- Job 1: Runs 2025-10-13 to 2025-10-15 for model-a
+- Job 2: Runs 2025-10-16 to 2025-10-20 for model-a
+- Job 2 starts with Job 1's ending position from 2025-10-15

+# Results API Date Range Enhancement
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-07
+**Status:** Design Complete
+**Breaking Change:** Yes (removes `date` parameter)
+
+## Overview
+
+Enhance the `/results` API endpoint to support date range queries with portfolio performance metrics including period returns and annualized returns.
+
+## Current State
+
+The `/results` endpoint currently supports:
+- Single-date queries via `date` parameter
+- Filtering by `job_id`, `model`
+- Reasoning inclusion via `reasoning` parameter
+- Returns detailed day-by-day trading information
+
+## Proposed Changes
+
+### 1. API Contract Changes
+
+**New Query Parameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `start_date` | string | No | Start date (YYYY-MM-DD). If provided alone, acts as single date (end_date defaults to start_date) |
+| `end_date` | string | No | End date (YYYY-MM-DD). If provided alone, acts as single date (start_date defaults to end_date) |
+| `model` | string | No | Filter by model signature (unchanged) |
+| `job_id` | string | No | Filter by job UUID (unchanged) |
+| `reasoning` | string | No | Include reasoning: "none" (default), "summary", "full". Ignored for date range queries |
+
+**Breaking Changes:**
+- **REMOVE** `date` parameter (replaced by `start_date`/`end_date`)
+- Clients using `date` will receive `422 Unprocessable Entity` with migration message
+
+**Default Behavior (no filters):**
+- Returns last 30 calendar days of data for all models
+- Configurable via `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS` environment variable (default: 30)
+
+### 2. Response Structure
+
+#### Single-Date Response (start_date == end_date)
+
+Maintains current format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 2,
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "date": "2025-01-16",
+      "model": "gpt-4",
+      "job_id": "550e8400-...",
+      "starting_position": {
+        "holdings": [{"symbol": "AAPL", "quantity": 10}],
+        "cash": 8500.0,
+        "portfolio_value": 10000.0
+      },
+      "daily_metrics": {
+        "profit": 100.0,
+        "return_pct": 1.0,
+        "days_since_last_trading": 1
+      },
+      "trades": [...],
+      "final_position": {...},
+      "metadata": {...},
+      "reasoning": null
+    },
+    {
+      "date": "2025-01-16",
+      "model": "claude-3.7-sonnet",
+      ...
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+#### Date Range Response (start_date < end_date)
+
+New lightweight format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "count": 2,
+  "results": [
+    {
+      "model": "gpt-4",
+      "start_date": "2025-01-16",
+      "end_date": "2025-01-20",
+      "daily_portfolio_values": [
+        {"date": "2025-01-16", "portfolio_value": 10100.0},
+        {"date": "2025-01-17", "portfolio_value": 10250.0},
+        {"date": "2025-01-20", "portfolio_value": 10500.0}
+      ],
+      "period_metrics": {
+        "starting_portfolio_value": 10000.0,
+        "ending_portfolio_value": 10500.0,
+        "period_return_pct": 5.0,
+        "annualized_return_pct": 45.6,
+        "calendar_days": 5,
+        "trading_days": 3
+      }
+    },
+    {
+      "model": "claude-3.7-sonnet",
+      "start_date": "2025-01-16",
+      "end_date": "2025-01-20",
+      "daily_portfolio_values": [...],
+      "period_metrics": {...}
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Performance Metrics Calculations
+
+**Starting Portfolio Value:**
+- Use `trading_days.starting_portfolio_value` from first trading day in range
+
+**Period Return:**
+```
+period_return_pct = ((ending_value - starting_value) / starting_value) * 100
+```
+
+**Annualized Return:**
+```
+annualized_return_pct = ((ending_value / starting_value) ** (365 / calendar_days) - 1) * 100
+```
+
+**Calendar Days:**
+- Count actual calendar days from start_date to end_date (inclusive)
+
+**Trading Days:**
+- Count number of actual trading days with data in the range
+
+### 4. Data Handling Rules
+
+**Edge Trimming:**
+- If requested range extends beyond available data at edges, trim to actual data boundaries
+- Example: Request 2025-01-10 to 2025-01-20, but data exists 2025-01-15 to 2025-01-17
+- Response shows `start_date=2025-01-15`, `end_date=2025-01-17`
+
+**Gaps Within Range:**
+- Include only dates with actual data (no null values, no gap indicators)
+- Example: If 2025-01-18 missing between 2025-01-17 and 2025-01-19, only include existing dates
+
+**Per-Model Results:**
+- Return one result object per model
+- Each model independently trimmed to its available data range
+- If model has no data in range, exclude from results
+
+**Empty Results:**
+- If NO models have data matching filters → `404 Not Found`
+- If ANY model has data → `200 OK` with results for models that have data
+
+**Filter Logic:**
+- All filters (job_id, model, date range) applied with AND logic
+- Date range can extend beyond a job's scope (returns empty if no overlap)
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+
+| Scenario | Status | Response |
+|----------|--------|----------|
+| No data matches filters | 404 | `{"detail": "No trading data found for the specified filters"}` |
+| Invalid date format | 400 | `{"detail": "Invalid date format: 2025-1-16. Expected YYYY-MM-DD"}` |
+| start_date > end_date | 400 | `{"detail": "start_date must be <= end_date"}` |
+| Future dates | 400 | `{"detail": "Cannot query future dates"}` |
+| Using old `date` param | 422 | `{"detail": "Parameter 'date' has been removed. Use 'start_date' and/or 'end_date' instead."}` |
+
+### 6. Special Cases
+
+**Single Trading Day in Range:**
+- Use date range response format (not single-date)
+- `daily_portfolio_values` has one entry
+- `period_return_pct` and `annualized_return_pct` = 0.0
+- `calendar_days` = difference between requested start/end
+- `trading_days` = 1
+
+**Reasoning Parameter:**
+- Ignored for date range queries (start_date < end_date)
+- Only applies to single-date queries
+- Keeps range responses lightweight and fast
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Core Logic
+
+**File:** `api/routes/results_v2.py`
+
+1. Add new query parameters (`start_date`, `end_date`)
+2. Implement date range defaulting logic:
+   - No dates → last 30 days
+   - Only start_date → single date
+   - Only end_date → single date
+   - Both → range query
+3. Validate dates (format, order, not future)
+4. Detect deprecated `date` parameter → return 422
+5. Query database with date range filter
+6. Group results by model
+7. Trim edges per model
+8. Calculate period metrics
+9. Format response based on single-date vs range
+
+### Phase 2: Period Metrics Calculation
+
+**Functions to implement:**
+
+```python
+def calculate_period_metrics(
+    starting_value: float,
+    ending_value: float,
+    start_date: str,
+    end_date: str,
+    trading_days: int
+) -> dict:
+    """Calculate period return and annualized return."""
+    # Calculate calendar days
+    # Calculate period_return_pct
+    # Calculate annualized_return_pct
+    # Return metrics dict
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Documentation Updates
+
+1. **API_REFERENCE.md** - Complete rewrite of `/results` section
+2. **docs/reference/environment-variables.md** - Add `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS`
+3. **CHANGELOG.md** - Document breaking change
+4. **README.md** - Update example queries
+5. **Client library examples** - Update Python/TypeScript examples
+
+### Phase 4: Testing
+
+**Test Coverage:**
+
+- [ ] Single date query (start_date only)
+- [ ] Single date query (end_date only)
+- [ ] Single date query (both equal)
+- [ ] Date range query (multiple days)
+- [ ] Default lookback (no dates provided)
+- [ ] Edge trimming (requested range exceeds data)
+- [ ] Gap handling (missing dates in middle)
+- [ ] Empty results (404)
+- [ ] Invalid date formats (400)
+- [ ] start_date > end_date (400)
+- [ ] Future dates (400)
+- [ ] Deprecated `date` parameter (422)
+- [ ] Period metrics calculations
+- [ ] All filter combinations (job_id, model, dates)
+- [ ] Single trading day in range
+- [ ] Reasoning parameter ignored in range queries
+- [ ] Multiple models with different data ranges
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### For API Consumers
+
+**Before (current):**
+```bash
+# Single date
+GET /results?date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+
+# Multiple dates required multiple queries
+GET /results?date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+GET /results?date=2025-01-17&model=gpt-4
+GET /results?date=2025-01-18&model=gpt-4
+```
+
+**After (new):**
+```bash
+# Single date (option 1)
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+
+# Single date (option 2)
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&end_date=2025-01-16&model=gpt-4
+
+# Date range (new capability)
+GET /results?start_date=2025-01-16&end_date=2025-01-20&model=gpt-4
+```
+
+### Python Client Update
+
+```python
+# OLD (will break)
+results = client.get_results(date="2025-01-16")
+
+# NEW
+results = client.get_results(start_date="2025-01-16")  # Single date
+results = client.get_results(start_date="2025-01-16", end_date="2025-01-20")  # Range
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+**New:**
+- `DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS` (integer, default: 30) - Number of days to look back when no date filters provided
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- No new dependencies required
+- Uses existing database schema (trading_days table)
+- Compatible with current database structure
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+**Risk:** Breaking change disrupts existing clients
+**Mitigation:**
+- Clear error message with migration instructions
+- Update all documentation and examples
+- Add to CHANGELOG with migration guide
+
+**Risk:** Large date ranges cause performance issues
+**Mitigation:**
+- Consider adding max date range validation (e.g., 365 days)
+- Date range responses are lightweight (no trades/holdings/reasoning)
+
+**Risk:** Edge trimming behavior confuses users
+**Mitigation:**
+- Document clearly with examples
+- Returned `start_date`/`end_date` show actual range
+- Consider adding `requested_start_date`/`requested_end_date` fields to response
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Add `max_date_range_days` environment variable
+- Add `requested_start_date`/`requested_end_date` to response
+- Consider adding aggregated statistics (max drawdown, Sharpe ratio)
+- Consider adding comparison mode (multiple models side-by-side)
+
+## Approval Checklist
