Giorgio Gilestro f1903e1e61 public: landing + pricing + legal pages, apex-ready, lawyer-reviewed
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.

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:

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.

Config

File Purpose
config/default.toml Universal data tables: indicator groups, RSS feeds, keyword presets
config/portfolio.toml User-specific portfolios (overrides default.toml)
.env Secrets and runtime knobs — mounted read-only into containers

Endpoints

  • GET / — dashboard
  • GET /portfolio/{name} — portfolio detail
  • GET /news — news feed
  • GET /log — strategic-log archive
  • GET /api/health — job status (last success / failure per job)

All authenticated routes require Authorization: Bearer $CASSANDRA_TOKEN if the env is set; if unset, the app is open (LAN-only mode).
