The Strategic Log Archive panel header used to show two engineery
badges sourced from server config:
new logs use: tone intermediate analysis speculative
Both were misleading:
- The tone badge described the SERVER's generator setting, not the
user's reading preference — confusingly disconnected from the
Novice | Pro toggle in the topbar that actually controls what AI
panels render.
- The analysis flag is always SPECULATIVE in production, so the badge
carried no information.
Drop the "new logs use:" prefix and the analysis badge. The tone badge
now mirrors the user's toggle: NOVICE → "novice", INTERMEDIATE → "pro"
(same data values; just the display label flips, matching the header
relabel from 3e1a14f).
Wiring lives in base.html: a new cassandraSyncToneBadge(tone) helper
updates the #tone-badge element when present. Called from
DOMContentLoaded (so the initial badge picks up the localStorage tone)
and from cassandraSetTone (so toggling the header updates the badge
live, without a page refresh).
current_tone / current_analysis are removed from _log_page_context —
log.html was the only consumer and neither key is referenced now.

The strategic log content already refreshes via HTMX on lang-changed
(server-side translation lookup), but the chat sidebar's static labels
— title, hint, helper lede, textarea placeholder, Send button — were
baked into the HTML by Jinja at page render and only updated after a
full reload.
Add a tiny client-side i18n dictionary (CASSANDRA_I18N) plus
applyI18n(lang) in base.html. cassandraSetLang() now calls
applyI18n(newLang) right after the language PATCH succeeds and before
firing the HTMX triggers, so labels swap in step with the AI content.
Convention: <element data-i18n="key">…</element> sets textContent;
<input data-i18n-placeholder="key" …> sets .placeholder. Initial
render still goes through the existing {% if user_lang == 'it' %}
Jinja blocks so there's no flash of English on page load for IT users
— applyI18n is a no-op until the toggle is clicked.
Only the chat sidebar has bindings today. Adding more labels later is
a matter of dropping a key into the dict and tagging the element.

Three connected fixes after the user spotted the 2026-05-28 IT log
cutting off mid-sentence:
1. translation: bump max_tokens 4000 → 8000.
call_llm()'s default cap was 4000, which is what the English log
generator itself uses as its ceiling. Italian expands roughly 15-25 %
over English in tokens, so any near-cap English source produced an
IT translation that hit finish_reason=length and returned a
truncated body — silently, because _call_provider() only raises when
content is fully empty. The strategic_log_translations table has
dozens of rows where completion_tokens landed at exactly 4000 with
content well under half the source length. 8000 gives ample
headroom for any of the five LANGUAGES we ship (en/it/es/fr/de).
2. log.html: localise the chat sidebar strings.
user_lang was already passed into the template by pages.py, so an
inline {% if user_lang == 'it' %} keeps it simple. Covers the
"Ask Cassandra" title, the "grounded on…" hint, the helper lede,
the textarea placeholder, and the Send button label.
3. chat endpoint: append respond_in_clause(user.lang) to the system
prompt. The chat conversation can now happen in IT — the model's
first reply lands in the right language even when the user's first
turn is short.
scripts/backfill_truncated_translations.py: one-off cleanup utility.
Scans strategic_log_translations for rows whose translated content is
< 70 % of the English source (the truncation signal — IT *expands*
beyond English, so a shorter translation is always suspect), deletes
them, and re-translates via the now-uncapped service. Supports --date,
--since, --all and --dry-run. The 2026-05-28 fan-out has already been
re-translated (13/13 rows). Other historical dates still hold older
truncations; the user can decide whether to backfill those (the script
is idempotent).

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.
Marketing + behaviour pass to get the site ready for Paddle approval.
Pricing page
- £7/month, £70/year headline (was "Coming soon").
- Bigger tier names (was 11px uppercase mono — looked like chips).
- Real CTAs (button base styles were only scoped to .hero__ctas).
- "Best value" badge + drop-shadow on the Paid card; full-width
block CTAs that align across both cards.
- "Free vs Paid at a glance" comparison table beneath the cards.
- Compact "Invite a friend — both get 50% off for 3 months"
callout with the detail explanation behind a <dialog> popup.
Tier copy + behaviour now consistent
- Free strategic-log refresh is every 6 hours, not hourly. New
read-side filter on /api/log/{latest,by-date} restricts free
users to logs at boundary hours (00/06/12/18 UTC); paid users
still see the most recent.
- Follow-up chat is paid-only. /api/chat returns 402 for free;
the chat sidebar on /log is replaced with a locked aside and
chat.js no longer loads at all for free users.
- Dashboard meta lines + landing copy softened so they no longer
promise hourly to everyone.
Future-proofing copy on public pages
- Dropped "free forever" wording (we may close the free tier).
- "Trading 212 CSV" became "broker CSV (Trading 212 today; more
planned)" on pricing + landing; the actual import UIs stay
T212-specific.
Terms
- Renamed Terms of Service -> Terms and Conditions (Paddle
expectation), bumped last-updated to 2026-05-26.
- New §6 Refunds covering the 14-day cooling off, post-window
cancellation, termination-by-us refunds, statutory rights, and
how to request a refund.
- Renumbered §7-§14 and fixed the disclaimer link labels.
Tests
- 6 new tests in tests/test_chat_and_log_gates.py cover the
chat 402 + the boundary-hour filter on both log endpoints.
- Full suite: 205 passed, 5 skipped, 0 failed.

- dashboard grid: explicit "header" area as the first row so the
aggregated read panel renders at the top instead of being
auto-placed after the named areas.
- indicators: hide rows flagged stale (older than the group's
freshness threshold). Server still computes stale_symbols;
rendering can be re-enabled by removing the
`{% if not is_stale %}` wrapper in indicators.html.
- /log: add tone-changed to #log-content's hx-trigger and include
it in cassandraSetTone's selector list — toggling Novice /
Intermediate on the Log page was previously a no-op.
- prompts: bump PROMPT_VERSION 7→8. Strengthen the rational-vs-
irrational framing in the strategic-log system prompt from
aspirational to mandatory ("a paragraph without both lenses must
be rewritten"). Require the same lens in the per-group summary,
cross-asset aggregate, and portfolio commentary overrides.

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.

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.
