 ### 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)

 ## [Unreleased]

+## [0.5.0] - 2025-11-07
+
+### 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: DeepSeek returns tool_calls in non-standard format with `args` field directly, bypassing LangChain's `parse_tool_call()`
- Solution: Added `ToolCallArgsParsingWrapper` that normalizes non-standard tool_call format to OpenAI standard before LangChain processing
- Wrapper converts `{name, args, id}` → `{function: {name, arguments}, id}` format
- Includes diagnostic logging to identify format inconsistencies across providers
+  - 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]`

+### Duplicate Simulation Prevention
+
+**Automatic Skip Logic:**
+- `JobManager.create_job()` checks database for already-completed model-day pairs
+- Skips completed simulations automatically
+- Returns warnings list with skipped pairs
+- Raises `ValueError` if all requested simulations are already completed
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+result = job_manager.create_job(
+    config_path="config.json",
+    date_range=["2025-10-15", "2025-10-16"],
+    models=["model-a"],
+    model_day_filter=[("model-a", "2025-10-15")]  # Already completed
+)
+
+# result = {
+#     "job_id": "new-job-uuid",
+#     "warnings": ["Skipped model-a/2025-10-15 - already completed"]
+# }
+```
+
+**Cross-Job Portfolio Continuity:**
+- `get_current_position_from_db()` queries across ALL jobs for a given model
+- Enables portfolio continuity even when new jobs are created with overlapping dates
+- Starting position = most recent trading_day.ending_cash + holdings where date < current_date

+## 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
+
+- [x] Design validated with stakeholder
+- [ ] Implementation plan reviewed
+- [ ] Test coverage defined
+- [ ] Documentation updates planned
+- [ ] Migration guide created
+- [ ] Breaking change acknowledged

+### DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS
+
+**Type:** Integer
+**Default:** 30
+**Required:** No
+
+Number of calendar days to look back when querying `/results` endpoint without date filters.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Default to last 60 days
+DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS=60
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+When no `start_date` or `end_date` parameters are provided to `/results`, the endpoint returns data from the last N days (ending today).

Bill	8f09fa5501	release: v0.4.3 - fix cross-job portfolio continuity	2025-11-07 17:02:02 -05:00
Bill	31d6818130	fix: enable cross-job portfolio continuity in get_starting_holdings Remove job_id filter from get_starting_holdings() SQL JOIN to enable holdings continuity across jobs. This completes the cross-job portfolio continuity fix started in the previous commit. Root cause: get_starting_holdings() joined on job_id, preventing it from finding previous day's holdings when queried from a different job. This caused starting_position.holdings to be empty in API results for new jobs even though starting_cash was correctly retrieved. Changes: - api/database.py: Remove job_id from JOIN condition in get_starting_holdings() - tests/unit/test_database_helpers.py: Add test for cross-job holdings retrieval Together with the previous commit fixing get_previous_trading_day(), this ensures complete portfolio continuity (both cash and holdings) across jobs.	2025-11-07 16:38:33 -05:00
Bill	4638c073e3	fix: enable cross-job portfolio continuity in get_previous_trading_day Remove job_id filter from get_previous_trading_day() SQL query to enable portfolio continuity across jobs. Previously, new jobs would reset to initial $10,000 cash instead of continuing from previous job's ending position. Root cause: get_previous_trading_day() filtered by job_id, while get_current_position_from_db() correctly queries across all jobs. This inconsistency caused starting_cash to default to initial_cash when no previous day was found within the same job. Changes: - api/database.py: Remove job_id filter from SQL WHERE clause - tests/unit/test_database_helpers.py: Add test for cross-job continuity Fixes position tracking bug where subsequent jobs on consecutive dates would not recognize previous day's holdings from different job.	2025-11-07 16:13:28 -05:00
Bill	96f61cf347	release: v0.4.2 - fix critical negative cash position bug Remove debug logging and update CHANGELOG for v0.4.2 release. Fixed critical bug where trades calculated from initial $10,000 capital instead of accumulating, allowing over-spending and negative cash balances. Key changes: - Extract position dict from CallToolResult.structuredContent - Enable MCP service logging for better debugging - Update tests to match production MCP behavior All tests passing. Ready for production release.	2025-11-07 15:41:28 -05:00
Bill	0eb5fcc940	debug: enable stdout/stderr for MCP services to diagnose parameter injection MCP services were started with stdout/stderr redirected to DEVNULL, making debug logs invisible. This prevented diagnosing why _current_position parameter is not being received by buy() function. Changed subprocess.Popen to redirect MCP service output to main process stdout/stderr, allowing [DEBUG buy] logs to be visible in docker logs. This will help identify whether: 1. _current_position is being sent by ContextInjector but not received 2. MCP HTTP transport filters underscore-prefixed parameters 3. Parameter serialization is failing Related to negative cash bug where final position shows -$3,049.83 instead of +$727.92 tracked by ContextInjector.	2025-11-07 14:56:48 -05:00
Bill	bee6afe531	test: update ContextInjector tests to match production MCP behavior Update unit tests to mock CallToolResult objects instead of plain dicts, matching actual MCP tool behavior in production. Changes: - Add create_mcp_result() helper to create mock CallToolResult objects - Update all mock handlers to return MCP result objects - Update assertions to access result.structuredContent field - Maintains test coverage while accurately reflecting production behavior This ensures tests validate the actual code path used in production, where MCP tools return CallToolResult objects with structuredContent field containing the position dict.	2025-11-07 14:32:20 -05:00
Bill	f1f76b9a99	fix: extract position dict from CallToolResult.structuredContent Fix negative cash bug where ContextInjector._current_position never updated. Root cause: MCP tools return mcp.types.CallToolResult objects, not plain dicts. The isinstance(result, dict) check always failed, preventing _current_position from accumulating trades within a session. This caused all trades to calculate from initial $10,000 position instead of previous trade's ending position, resulting in negative cash balances when total purchases exceeded $10,000. Solution: Extract position dict from CallToolResult.structuredContent field before validating. Maintains backward compatibility by handling both CallToolResult objects (production) and plain dicts (unit tests). Impact: - Fixes negative cash positions (e.g., -$8,768.68 after 11 trades) - Enables proper intra-day position tracking - Validates sufficient cash before each trade based on cumulative position - Trade tool responses now properly accumulate all holdings Testing: - All existing unit tests pass (handle plain dict results) - Production logs confirm structuredContent extraction works - Debug logging shows _current_position now updates after each trade	2025-11-07 14:24:48 -05:00
Bill	277714f664	debug: add comprehensive logging for position tracking bug investigation Add debug logging to diagnose negative cash position issue where trades calculate from initial $10,000 instead of accumulating. Issue: After 11 trades, final cash shows -$8,768.68. Each trade appears to calculate from $10,000 starting position instead of previous trade's ending position. Hypothesis: ContextInjector._current_position not updating after trades, possibly due to MCP result type mismatch in isinstance(result, dict) check. Debug logging added: - agent/context_injector.py: Log MCP result type, content, and whether _current_position updates after each trade - agent_tools/tool_trade.py: Log whether injected position is used vs DB query, and full contents of returned position dict This will help identify: 1. What type is returned by MCP tool (dict vs other) 2. Whether _current_position is None on subsequent trades 3. What keys are present in returned position dicts Related to issue where reasoning summary claims no trades executed despite 4 sell orders being recorded.	2025-11-07 14:16:30 -05:00
Bill	db1341e204	feat: implement replace_existing parameter to allow re-running completed simulations Add skip_completed parameter to JobManager.create_job() to control duplicate detection: - When skip_completed=True (default), skips already-completed simulations (existing behavior) - When skip_completed=False, includes ALL requested simulations regardless of completion status API endpoint now uses request.replace_existing to control skip_completed parameter: - replace_existing=false (default): skip_completed=True (skip duplicates) - replace_existing=true: skip_completed=False (force re-run all simulations) This allows users to force re-running completed simulations when needed.	2025-11-07 13:39:51 -05:00
Bill	e5b83839ad	docs: document duplicate prevention and cross-job continuity Added documentation for: - Duplicate simulation prevention in JobManager.create_job() - Cross-job portfolio continuity in position tracking - Updated CLAUDE.md with Duplicate Simulation Prevention section - Updated docs/developer/architecture.md with Position Tracking Across Jobs section	2025-11-07 13:28:26 -05:00

Bill	406bb281b2	fix: cleanup stale jobs on container restart to unblock new job creation When a Docker container is shutdown and restarted, jobs with status 'pending', 'downloading_data', or 'running' remained in the database, preventing new jobs from starting due to concurrency control checks. This commit adds automatic cleanup of stale jobs during FastAPI startup: - New cleanup_stale_jobs() method in JobManager (api/job_manager.py:702-779) - Integrated into FastAPI lifespan startup (api/main.py:164-168) - Intelligent status determination based on completion percentage: - 'partial' if any model-days completed (preserves progress data) - 'failed' if no progress made - Detailed error messages with original status and completion counts - Marks incomplete job_details as 'failed' with clear error messages - Deployment-aware: skips cleanup in DEV mode when DB is reset - Comprehensive logging at warning level for visibility Testing: - 6 new unit tests covering all cleanup scenarios (451-609) - All 30 existing job_manager tests still pass - Tests verify pending, running, downloading_data, partial progress, no stale jobs, and multiple stale jobs scenarios Resolves issue where container restarts left stale jobs blocking the can_start_new_job() concurrency check.	2025-11-06 21:24:45 -05:00
Bill	6ddc5abede	fix: resolve DeepSeek tool_calls validation errors (production ready) After extensive systematic debugging, identified and fixed LangChain bug where parse_tool_call() returns string args instead of dict. Root Cause: LangChain's parse_tool_call() has intermittent bug returning unparsed JSON string for 'args' field instead of dict object, violating AIMessage Pydantic schema. Solution: ToolCallArgsParsingWrapper provides two-layer fix: 1. Patches parse_tool_call() to detect string args and parse to dict 2. Normalizes non-standard tool_call formats to OpenAI standard Implementation: - Patches parse_tool_call in langchain_openai.chat_models.base namespace - Defensive approach: only acts when string args detected - Handles edge cases: invalid JSON, non-standard formats, invalid_tool_calls - Minimal performance impact: lightweight type checks - Thread-safe: patches apply at wrapper initialization Testing: - Confirmed fix working in production with DeepSeek Chat v3.1 - All tool calls now process successfully without validation errors - No impact on other AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) Impact: - Enables DeepSeek models via OpenRouter - Maintains backward compatibility - Future-proof against similar issues from other providers Closes systematic debugging investigation that spanned 6 alpha releases. Fixes: tool_calls.0.args validation error [type=dict_type, input_type=str]	2025-11-06 20:49:11 -05:00
Bill	5c73f30583	fix: patch parse_tool_call bug that returns string args instead of dict Root cause identified: langchain_core's parse_tool_call() sometimes returns tool_calls with 'args' as a JSON string instead of parsed dict object. This violates AIMessage's Pydantic schema which expects args to be dict. Solution: Wrapper now detects when parse_tool_call returns string args and immediately converts them to dict using json.loads(). This is a workaround for what appears to be a LangChain bug where parse_tool_call's json.loads() call either: 1. Fails silently without raising exception, or 2. Succeeds but result is not being assigned to args field The fix ensures AIMessage always receives properly parsed dict args, resolving Pydantic validation errors for all DeepSeek tool calls.	2025-11-06 17:58:41 -05:00
Bill	b73d88ca8f	fix: normalize DeepSeek non-standard tool_calls format Systematic debugging revealed DeepSeek returns tool_calls in non-standard format that bypasses LangChain's parse_tool_call(): Root Cause: - OpenAI standard: {function: {name, arguments}, id} - DeepSeek format: {name, args, id} - LangChain's parse_tool_call() returns None when no 'function' key - Result: Raw tool_call with string args → Pydantic validation error Solution: - ToolCallArgsParsingWrapper detects non-standard format - Normalizes to OpenAI standard before LangChain processing - Converts {name, args, id} → {function: {name, arguments}, id} - Added diagnostic logging to identify format variations Impact: - DeepSeek models now work via OpenRouter - No breaking changes to other providers (defensive design) - Diagnostic logs help debug future format issues Fixes validation errors: tool_calls.0.args: Input should be a valid dictionary [type=dict_type, input_value='{"symbol": "GILD", ...}', input_type=str]	2025-11-06 17:51:33 -05:00
Bill	d199b093c1	debug: patch parse_tool_call to identify source of string args Added global monkey-patch of langchain_core's parse_tool_call to log the type of 'args' it returns. This will definitively show whether: 1. parse_tool_call is returning string args (bug in langchain_core) 2. Something else is modifying the result after parse_tool_call returns 3. AIMessage construction is getting tool_calls from a different source This is the critical diagnostic to find the root cause.	2025-11-06 17:42:33 -05:00
