User reported phone still showing old behaviour (Qty/Avg portfolio
columns visible) even though the server-side JS had been updated.
Root cause: every <link>/<script> URL was a plain
/static/css/foo.css with no query string, so mobile Chrome served
the file from its HTTP cache rather than refetching it.
Adds a process-startup timestamp to the Jinja environment as
ASSET_VERSION (computed once when templates_env is imported). Every
<link>/<script> reference now appends `?v={{ ASSET_VERSION }}` so a
container restart bumps the URL and the browser refetches. 38 URLs
across 8 templates updated via sed; tests still pass.
Side benefit: future CSS/JS edits no longer require users to hard-
refresh.
Adds the unauthenticated surface that's needed to invite outsiders:
- Landing (/) — dual-purpose root: dashboard for logged-in users,
landing for everyone else. New maybe_current_user soft-auth helper
in app/auth.py supports it without disturbing the per-route
require_token deps on /news, /log, /upload, /settings.
- About, Pricing, Disclaimer, Terms, Privacy — own router
(app/routers/public.py), no auth dep, shared public_base layout
(brand link, thin nav, footer with legal links + ICO ref + date).
- Editorial positioning: news aggregator with a macro brain; tagline
"Understand markets. Don't gamble on them."; anti-trading-as-gambling
stance carried through About and Landing.
Legal pass following an independent lawyer-style review:
- Privacy: explicit UK-GDPR Art. 6 lawful-basis section; Art. 22
automated-decision line; explicit consent for sessionStorage sync
key (PECR); 30-day IP-log retention; Art. 21 objection right;
Children clause; Art. 33/34 breach-notification clause;
international-transfer mechanism (IDTA + UK Addendum). ICO
registration ZC098928 surfaced at the top.
- Pricing: paid-card AI-portfolio-analysis bullet rewritten to remove
advice-shaped wording ("what would invalidate the posture" gone);
added italic carve-out citing FSMA / FCA COBS.
- Disclaimer: separate EU/EEA carve-out + MAR 596/2014 Art. 3(1)(34)
commentator safe-harbour; "qualifies the Terms" line; hallucination
wording fixed.
- Terms: cl.4 explicit AI-training prohibition + harassment line;
cl.5 CCR 2013 14-day cancellation; cl.7 softened AI copyright
claim under CDPA s.9(3) ambiguity; cl.8 proportionate suspension +
pro-rata refund for paid users; cl.10 CRA 2015 Pt 1 statutory-rights
carve-out from the liability cap; cl.11 right to close account on
material change; cl.12 non-exclusive jurisdiction + UK consumer
local courts.
Code-side enforcement of the Privacy claim:
- openrouter.py: outbound OpenRouter calls now carry
X-OR-Allow-Training: false. DeepSeek doesn't expose a per-request
flag; the Privacy page discloses this caveat verbatim.
Apex domain prep:
- branding.APP_URL flipped to https://read.markets (was app.). DNS for
the apex already resolves; pending operator NPM step is a cert that
covers the bare apex + a 301 from app.read.markets. No hard-coded
subdomain references remain in code (verified with grep).
Nav + chrome:
- app dropdown gains Pricing / Terms / Privacy / Disclaimer links.
- login.html gains a small legal-links footer for the
highest-leverage moment to surface them.

The product is now "Read the Markets" served at https://read.markets,
with the app at https://app.read.markets. "Cassandra" survives only as
the in-product AI persona (system prompt + "Ask Cassandra" chat label).
Centralised the brand in app/branding.py: BRAND_NAME, BRAND_SHORT,
DOMAIN, SITE_URL, APP_URL, EMAIL_FROM_DEFAULT. Jinja templates pull
{{ BRAND_NAME }} via globals registered in templates_env.py; Python
code reads branding.BRAND_NAME directly. The future-rename surface
is now a one-liner.
Updated: FastAPI app title, every page title (dashboard, news, log,
settings, upload, login, verify), header brand div, auth-card brands,
OTP email subject + HTML + plain-text bodies (incl. uppercase header
tag), OpenRouter X-Title + HTTP-Referer attribution headers, README.
Email tests now assert against branding.BRAND_NAME rather than the
literal string.
Internal identifiers deliberately kept on the legacy "cassandra" name
to avoid invalidating live sessions / advisory locks / configs:
cookies (cassandra_session, cassandra_pending) + itsdangerous salts,
MariaDB GET_LOCK keys, CASSANDRA_TOKEN env var, cassandra.css filename,
pyproject package name, localStorage prefs, outbound User-Agent strings.

Server no longer holds portfolios. Holdings live in the browser
(localStorage); the server publishes an anonymous ticker_universe and a
gzipped /api/universe payload identical for every authenticated user, so
access patterns can't betray which tickers a user holds. AI commentary
is generated ephemerally from the browser-supplied pie and the cost
ledger row records no positions. Migrations 0009-0011 added the
universe table and dropped positions / portfolio_snapshots /
portfolios.
Authentication is now e-mail OTP only. Migration 0010 dropped
password_hash and email_verified (every active session is by
construction proof of email control). The /signup endpoint is gone;
signup and login share a single email-entry page. Email rendering is
HTML+plain-text multipart with a shared brand palette (app/branding.py)
asserted in sync with the CSS by a drift-detection test.
LLM provider defaults to DeepSeek-direct (cheaper, api.deepseek.com)
with OpenRouter as automatic fallback if DeepSeek fails. ai_log_job and
indicator_summary_job now iterate the two tones (NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE)
per cycle so the dashboard's tone toggle is instant; PROMPT_VERSION
bumped to 6 with an educational anti-TA / anti-gambling stance baked
into _CORE. NOVICE mode renders a curated glossary inline (CBOE VIX,
yield curve, HY OAS, etc.) with JS-positioned tooltips that survive
viewport edges and sticky bars. Model name and tokens hidden from the
user UI; still recorded in StrategicLog.model and AICall for admin.
Layout adds a sticky top nav, a sticky bottom markets bar (one chip per
exchange with status LED + headline index + 1d change), and
Phase H feedback reporting is queued in tasks/todo.md.

Containerised macro-strategy dashboard: 4-panel web UI (indicators,
portfolio, flash news, AI strategic log), MariaDB store, hourly
ingestion jobs, OpenRouter-backed AI analysis.
Ports the four prototype scripts in the parent dir (market_pulse,
flash_news, trading212, strategic_log) into async services backed by a
persistent DB and served via FastAPI + Jinja2 + HTMX. APScheduler runs
as a separate compose service for crash-safety and easier restarts.
Portfolio composition + position names come live from Trading 212;
news per-ticker headlines reuse those names. Tone (NOVICE/INTERMEDIATE/
PRO) and analysis style (DRY/SPECULATIVE) are env-configurable and
stored on each log row so historical entries show what produced them.
Default model is deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash (overridable via env).
Light/dark theme toggle, sans-serif for prose surfaces, monospace for
data. Bearer-token auth, OpenRouter monthly cost cap, RSS feeds auto-
disabled on consecutive failures.
