Bundles three related pieces that came out of the operator's first
end-to-end test of the paid flow:
1. Manage subscription button on /settings (paid users with a real
Stripe sub — i.e. not credit-granted access). POSTs to the existing
/api/stripe/portal endpoint; Stripe-hosted customer portal handles
card updates, cancellation, monthly↔annual switch, invoice history.
Replaces the stale "Paid features unlock with Paddle (D.3) or
invite credits" hint for free users with a live link to /pricing.
2. Per-cadence cooling-off treatment:
- **Annual £70**: 14-day free trial via
subscription_data.trial_period_days=14. No money moves during
the trial, so the CCR 2013 14-day refund question doesn't arise
(nothing paid = nothing to refund). Card is still required at
checkout so Stripe can charge on day 15.
- **Monthly £7**: bills immediately. A 14-day trial there would
give away ~50% of cycle one. Instead, /pricing now carries a
required tick-box above the Subscribe buttons (subscribe stays
disabled until checked) — by ticking, the user expressly
consents to begin performance immediately and acknowledges that
this extinguishes their statutory 14-day right under Reg 36
CCR 2013. Consent collected on our own page (not via Stripe's
account-wide consent_collection.terms_of_service) so each
product can keep its own Terms URL as we add more.
3. T&C §6 clause 1 split into 1a (annual / trial substitute) +
1b (monthly / Reg 36 waiver via on-page tick-box). Clause 2
(post-cooling-off cancellation) unchanged.
Settings page shows "Free trial — N days remaining" while the
sub is in `trialing` status, falling back to "Paid subscription
active." once it transitions to active. Countdown is computed
server-side from User.stripe_trial_end_at (new column, migration
0020) populated by the subscription.created/updated webhook from
the Stripe trial_end timestamp; cleared on the trialing→active
transition and on revoke.
Drive-by: fixed a structlog kwarg-name collision on
`log.warning(..., event=event_type, ...)` in both polar_webhook.py
and stripe_billing.py — `event` is structlog's positional event
name and "got multiple values" crashed the user-not-found log
path. Renamed to `event_type=` everywhere it appeared. Caught by
the new trialing-stores-trial-end test.
Tests
- 4 new in test_stripe_billing.py covering monthly (no trial, no
consent_collection), annual (trial, no consent), trialing stores
trial_end, trialing→active clears trial_end.
- 1 existing test renamed + reworked for the consent split.
- Full suite: 224 passed, 5 skipped.

Read the Markets
Containerised macro-strategy dashboard — hourly market data, RSS news, Trading 212 portfolio, and an AI-generated strategic log written by Cassandra, the in-product seer. Read-only by design.
Production:
- Landing: https://read.markets
- App: https://app.read.markets
The Python package is still named cassandra and several internal identifiers (cookie names, advisory-lock keys, CASSANDRA_TOKEN env var, CSS filename) keep the legacy name on purpose — renaming them would invalidate live sessions / locks / configs for no user benefit. See app/branding.py for the brand single-source-of-truth.
Quick start (local dev)
cp .env.example .env # fill in API keys; set CASSANDRA_TOKEN if exposing
docker compose up --build # db + app + scheduler + daily backup sidecar
open http://localhost:8000/ # or whichever CASSANDRA_PORT you set
docker-compose.override.yml is auto-loaded and adds the host port
binding so the app is reachable on localhost.
Production (VPS, NPM-fronted)
Always invoke with explicit -f flags — that way the dev override is
skipped and the prod overlay (no host port, joins the external
intranet Docker network, uvicorn on port 80) is applied:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
Point Nginx Proxy Manager at upstream readmarkets-app-1:80.
Architecture
- app (FastAPI + Jinja2 + HTMX) — web dashboard on port 8000
- scheduler (APScheduler) — hourly ingestion jobs (market, news, portfolio, AI log)
- db (MariaDB 11) — quotes, headlines, portfolio snapshots, strategic logs, job runs
- backup (sidecar) — daily mariadb-dump to
./backup/
See /home/gg/.claude/plans/ok-i-think-this-tidy-lake.md for the design plan.
