+# Planning Decisions
+
+This file records concrete decisions made to resolve open questions and contract gaps in `planning/PLAN.md`.
+
+## 2026-04-13
+
+### LLM configuration
+
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is required only when `LLM_MOCK=false`.
+- `LLM_MOCK=true` is a supported no-key development and test mode.
+- The backend should fail fast at startup if mock mode is off and the API key is missing.
+
+Reasoning: this preserves the intended low-friction local and CI workflow while keeping production configuration errors obvious.
+
+### Docker persistence
+
+- Local development and test runs use a bind mount from repo `db/` to `/app/db`.
+- The plan no longer mixes bind mounts with a named Docker volume.
+- `db/finally.db` is intentionally visible on the host for inspection and persistence.
+
+Reasoning: one persistence model is easier for agents to implement consistently, and host-visible SQLite data is useful for a course project.
+
+### Chat API contract
+
+- `/api/chat` returns persisted `user_message` and `assistant_message` objects, including message IDs and timestamps.
+- Action results are returned only after execution, under `assistant_message.actions`.
+- Partial failures are represented per action with `status` plus `error`, while the overall response remains `200` for valid requests.
+- The response also includes post-execution `portfolio` and `watchlist` state so the frontend can reconcile immediately.
+
+Reasoning: this removes frontend/backend ambiguity around inline confirmations, persisted message identity, and partial trade failures.
+
+### Position lifecycle
+
+- Selling a position to zero keeps the row but resets `avg_cost` to `0`.
+- A later buy in the same ticker establishes a brand-new cost basis.
+
+Reasoning: unrealized P&L after re-entry should reflect only the new position, not stale historical basis.
+
+### Trade validation
+
+- Tickers are normalized to uppercase and trimmed.
+- Unsupported symbols are rejected.
+- Quantity must be finite, positive, and no more than 4 decimal places.
+- Manual and LLM-originated trades use the exact same validation rules.
+
+Reasoning: shared validation rules prevent drift between frontend behavior, direct API usage, and AI-triggered actions.
+
+### SSE protocol
+
+- `/api/stream/prices` uses named SSE events: `snapshot`, `price`, `watchlist`, and `heartbeat`.
+- The server sends an initial `snapshot` immediately on connect.
+- Watchlist add/remove operations emit a `watchlist` event on existing connections rather than requiring reconnect.
+
+Reasoning: explicit event types give frontend and backend a stable contract for initial render, live updates, and reconnect behavior.

+If a trade or watchlist change fails validation (e.g., insufficient cash or duplicate watchlist add), the backend still returns the assistant message but marks the individual action `status="rejected"` with an `error` string. The HTTP response remains `200` unless the overall request is malformed.

+# Review of `planning/PLAN.md`
+
+## Findings
+
+### High
+
+1. **The environment variable contract contradicts the documented mock-mode workflow.**  
+   `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is marked as required in the environment section, but later the plan says `LLM_MOCK=true` supports development and E2E runs without an API key. Those two statements produce different bootstrap behavior for the backend and Docker scripts. The plan should explicitly say whether the API key is required only when `LLM_MOCK=false`.  
+   References: `planning/PLAN.md:123-140`, `planning/PLAN.md:363-382`
+
+2. **The Docker persistence model is internally inconsistent.**  
+   The plan first specifies a named Docker volume with `docker run -v finally-data:/app/db ...`, then immediately says the project-root `db/` directory maps to `/app/db` in the container. Those are different deployment models with different local-development behavior. Agents implementing scripts and compose files will make incompatible choices unless one source of truth is selected.  
+   References: `planning/PLAN.md:101-114`, `planning/PLAN.md:432-440`
+
+3. **The chat API is underspecified relative to the frontend and storage requirements.**  
+   The frontend depends on inline confirmations for executed trades/watchlist changes, and the database stores `actions` JSON on assistant messages, but `/api/chat` only says “message + executed actions” with no request/response schema. That leaves unresolved whether the response includes persisted message IDs, per-action success/error states, partial failures, updated portfolio/watchlist data, and whether assistant text is returned before or after execution. This is likely to create frontend/backend contract churn.  
+   References: `planning/PLAN.md:241-242`, `planning/PLAN.md:293-296`, `planning/PLAN.md:313-351`, `planning/PLAN.md:398`
+
+### Medium
+
+4. **The zero-quantity position rule leaves average-cost reset behavior undefined.**  
+   The plan keeps `positions` rows after a full sell by setting `quantity=0`, but it does not define what happens to `avg_cost` when the user later buys the same ticker again. If the old average cost is reused, unrealized P&L will be wrong after re-entry; if it is reset, that needs to be part of the trade logic contract.  
+   References: `planning/PLAN.md:212-220`, `planning/PLAN.md:470`
+
+5. **Trade validation rules are too loose for a shared implementation contract.**  
+   Manual and LLM-driven trades both depend on “the same validation,” but the plan never defines normalization and rejection rules for invalid input such as lowercase tickers, unsupported symbols, zero quantity, negative quantity, excessive decimal precision, or NaN/non-numeric values. Without this, UI validation, API behavior, and test expectations will diverge.  
+   References: `planning/PLAN.md:263`, `planning/PLAN.md:340-351`, `planning/PLAN.md:470-472`
+
+6. **The SSE/watchlist behavior is specified at a UX level but not at the protocol level.**  
+   The plan requires an existing `EventSource` connection to become “watchlist-aware” when the watchlist changes, but it does not define how the backend communicates non-price events such as `added`, `removed`, `snapshot`, heartbeat, or stale/reconnected state. The frontend also needs an initial snapshot to avoid rendering empty prices/charts until the next tick. Without explicit event types and payloads, both sides will infer different SSE semantics.

+## Open Questions
+
+- Should `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` be optional whenever `LLM_MOCK=true`, or should startup fail unless a key is present regardless of mode?
+- Is persistence supposed to use a named Docker volume, a bind mount to repo `db/`, or one for scripts and the other for tests?
+- What is the exact `/api/chat` response shape, especially for partial trade failures and inline action rendering?
+- After selling a position down to zero, should the next buy recreate cost basis from scratch?

 ## Findings
 
-### High
+### 1. Trade execution is underspecified for concurrent requests, which can corrupt cash/position state
+`planning/PLAN.md:171-173`, `planning/PLAN.md:275`, `planning/PLAN.md:304-305`, and `planning/PLAN.md:401` define trading against an in-memory price cache with validation on current cash/owned quantity, but the plan never requires atomic database transactions or any per-user locking around the read-modify-write sequence. In practice, two rapid requests from the trade bar, double-clicks, or overlapping chat/manual trades can both pass validation before either write commits, resulting in overspending cash or overselling shares. The plan should explicitly require transactional trade execution and define how concurrent requests are serialized.
 
-1. **The environment variable contract contradicts the documented mock-mode workflow.**  
-   `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` is marked as required in the environment section, but later the plan says `LLM_MOCK=true` supports development and E2E runs without an API key. Those two statements produce different bootstrap behavior for the backend and Docker scripts. The plan should explicitly say whether the API key is required only when `LLM_MOCK=false`.  
-   References: `planning/PLAN.md:123-140`, `planning/PLAN.md:363-382`
+### 2. The test plan conflicts with the shared bind-mounted SQLite database, so E2E runs will not be deterministic
+`planning/PLAN.md:521` says the repo-root `db/` directory is the single source of truth for runtime persistence in local development and test runs, while `planning/PLAN.md:565-577` expects repeatable E2E scenarios such as a fresh start with the default watchlist and `$10k` cash. Reusing the same host-mounted database across test runs means prior trades/watchlist edits will leak into later runs unless every test manually resets the file. The plan should reserve an isolated database path or disposable volume for test execution instead of sharing the developer runtime database.
 
-2. **The Docker persistence model is internally inconsistent.**  
-   The plan first specifies a named Docker volume with `docker run -v finally-data:/app/db ...`, then immediately says the project-root `db/` directory maps to `/app/db` in the container. Those are different deployment models with different local-development behavior. Agents implementing scripts and compose files will make incompatible choices unless one source of truth is selected.  
-   References: `planning/PLAN.md:101-114`, `planning/PLAN.md:432-440`
+### 3. Chat history is persisted but there is no read API to restore it on page reload
+`planning/PLAN.md:249-255` defines a persistent `chat_messages` table, and `planning/PLAN.md:397` says the backend reloads recent conversation history for LLM context, but `planning/PLAN.md:315-382` exposes only `POST /api/chat`. That leaves the frontend without a supported way to populate the “scrolling conversation history” after refresh or on first load, despite storing the data. Either the product should explicitly accept ephemeral UI history, or the API section needs a `GET /api/chat/history`-style contract.
 
-3. **The chat API is underspecified relative to the frontend and storage requirements.**  
-   The frontend depends on inline confirmations for executed trades/watchlist changes, and the database stores `actions` JSON on assistant messages, but `/api/chat` only says “message + executed actions” with no request/response schema. That leaves unresolved whether the response includes persisted message IDs, per-action success/error states, partial failures, updated portfolio/watchlist data, and whether assistant text is returned before or after execution. This is likely to create frontend/backend contract churn.  
-   References: `planning/PLAN.md:241-242`, `planning/PLAN.md:293-296`, `planning/PLAN.md:313-351`, `planning/PLAN.md:398`
+### 4. The documented chat response example contradicts the portfolio contract
+In the `POST /api/chat` example at `planning/PLAN.md:327-370`, the assistant reports an executed buy of 5 AAPL shares at `191.2`, and the returned `cash_balance` drops to `9044.0`, but the `portfolio.positions` array is still empty (`planning/PLAN.md:364-367`). That directly conflicts with the earlier `/api/portfolio` contract at `planning/PLAN.md:278-296`, where open positions must be returned and `total_value` includes their market value. This kind of example-level inconsistency is likely to leak into implementation and tests unless corrected.

-   The plan keeps `positions` rows after a full sell by setting `quantity=0`, but it does not define what happens to `avg_cost` when the user later buys the same ticker again.

-   The plan requires an existing `EventSource` connection to become “watchlist-aware” when the watchlist changes, but it does not define how the backend communicates non-price events such as `added`, `removed`, `snapshot`, heartbeat, or stale/reconnected state. The frontend also needs an initial snapshot to avoid rendering empty prices/charts until the next tick. Without explicit event types and payloads, both sides will infer different SSE semantics.  
-   References: `planning/PLAN.md:177-182`, `planning/PLAN.md:289-291`, `planning/PLAN.md:392-406`
+### 5. The watchlist API contract is too thin for the UI it is supposed to power
+`planning/PLAN.md:311-313` says `GET /api/watchlist` returns the current watchlist tickers with latest prices, but the frontend requirements at `planning/PLAN.md:473-487` need at least daily change, stale/disconnected state handling, and enough market fields to seed the watchlist immediately before SSE updates arrive. Unlike `/api/portfolio` and `/api/chat`, there is no response schema here, so frontend and backend agents can easily diverge on field names and completeness. The plan should define the watchlist response shape explicitly, ideally aligned with the SSE `snapshot` payload.
 
 ## Open Questions
 
-- Should `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` be optional whenever `LLM_MOCK=true`, or should startup fail unless a key is present regardless of mode?
-- Is persistence supposed to use a named Docker volume, a bind mount to repo `db/`, or one for scripts and the other for tests?
-- What is the exact `/api/chat` response shape, especially for partial trade failures and inline action rendering?
-- After selling a position down to zero, should the next buy recreate cost basis from scratch?
+- Is chat history intended to survive refreshes, or is persistence only for LLM context/audit?
+- Should test infrastructure use a separate SQLite file under `test/` or a disposable tmp path/volume?
+- Is trade execution expected to be safe under overlapping manual and AI-originated requests, or is single-flight enforcement acceptable?

+
+You are an expert code reviewer specializing in full-stack TypeScript/Python applications. Your task is to review all changes made since the last git commit and produce a structured, actionable review document.
+
+## Your Process
+
+1. **Gather the diff**: Run `git diff HEAD` to see all unstaged changes, and `git diff --cached HEAD` to see staged changes. Also run `git status` to get the full picture of new/modified/deleted files.
+
+2. **Inspect new files**: For any new untracked files, read their contents directly since they won't appear in `git diff HEAD`.
+
+3. **Analyze the changes** with these lenses:
+   - **Correctness**: Does the logic match the project spec in PLAN.md? Are edge cases handled?
+   - **Code quality**: Is it simple and clear? Are names self-documenting? Are functions short and focused?
+   - **Project conventions**: Does it follow the patterns established in this codebase? (uv for Python, no emojis, no workarounds, no defensive programming, no over-engineering)
+   - **API contract adherence**: Do backend endpoints match the shapes defined in PLAN.md section 8? Do frontend calls match?
+   - **Potential bugs**: Race conditions, missing error handling where genuinely needed, off-by-one errors, incorrect calculations
+   - **Security/data integrity**: SQLite transactions, input validation, trade execution atomicity
+
+4. **Write the review** to `planning/SINCE-COMMIT-REVIEW2.md`, overwriting any existing content.

+
+## Project Context to Keep in Mind
+
+- This is the FinAlly AI trading workstation project
+- Backend: FastAPI + Python managed with `uv`. Never use `pip`, always `uv add`/`uv run`
+- Frontend: Next.js TypeScript, static export, Tailwind CSS, Lightweight Charts (not Recharts)
+- Database: SQLite with lazy initialization, single user (`user_id="default"`)
+- Real-time: SSE (not WebSockets), named events: `snapshot`, `price`, `watchlist`, `heartbeat`
+- LLM: LiteLLM → OpenRouter → `openrouter/openai/gpt-oss-120b` with Cerebras, structured outputs
+- No emojis anywhere. No workarounds. No over-engineering. Simple, incremental, clear.
+- Trade execution must be atomic (SQLite transaction + per-user asyncio lock)
+- Zero-quantity positions: row kept in DB, `avg_cost` reset to 0, filtered from display
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+- Flag any use of `pip install` instead of `uv add`
+- Flag any use of `python3` instead of `uv run`
+- Flag any emojis in code, logs, or print statements
+- Flag over-engineered abstractions introduced prematurely
+- Flag workarounds that patch symptoms instead of fixing root causes
+- Flag any API response shapes that deviate from PLAN.md section 8
+- Flag missing input validation on trade endpoints
+- Confirm SSE event types match the protocol spec
+
+Be direct and specific. Every issue should include the file path and line number if applicable. Do not pad the review with praise — focus on what matters.
+
+# Persistent Agent Memory
+
+You have a persistent, file-based memory system at `/Users/abgupta/Projects/finally/.claude/agent-memory/commit-diff-reviewer/`. This directory already exists — write to it directly with the Write tool (do not run mkdir or check for its existence).
+
+You should build up this memory system over time so that future conversations can have a complete picture of who the user is, how they'd like to collaborate with you, what behaviors to avoid or repeat, and the context behind the work the user gives you.
+
+If the user explicitly asks you to remember something, save it immediately as whichever type fits best. If they ask you to forget something, find and remove the relevant entry.
+
+## Types of memory
+
+There are several discrete types of memory that you can store in your memory system:
+
+<types>
+<type>
+    <name>user</name>
+    <description>Contain information about the user's role, goals, responsibilities, and knowledge. Great user memories help you tailor your future behavior to the user's preferences and perspective. Your goal in reading and writing these memories is to build up an understanding of who the user is and how you can be most helpful to them specifically. For example, you should collaborate with a senior software engineer differently than a student who is coding for the very first time. Keep in mind, that the aim here is to be helpful to the user. Avoid writing memories about the user that could be viewed as a negative judgement or that are not relevant to the work you're trying to accomplish together.</description>
+    <when_to_save>When you learn any details about the user's role, preferences, responsibilities, or knowledge</when_to_save>
+    <how_to_use>When your work should be informed by the user's profile or perspective. For example, if the user is asking you to explain a part of the code, you should answer that question in a way that is tailored to the specific details that they will find most valuable or that helps them build their mental model in relation to domain knowledge they already have.</how_to_use>

These are a very important type of memory to read and write as they allow you to remain coherent and responsive to the way you should approach work in the project. Record from failure AND success: if you only save corrections, you will avoid past mistakes but drift away from approaches the user has already validated, and may grow overly cautious.</description>
+    <when_to_save>Any time the user corrects your approach ("no not that", "don't", "stop doing X") OR confirms a non-obvious approach worked ("yes exactly", "perfect, keep doing that", accepting an unusual choice without pushback). Corrections are easy to notice; confirmations are quieter — watch for them. In both cases, save what is applicable to future conversations, especially if surprising or not obvious from the code. Include *why* so you can judge edge cases later.</when_to_save>

+    <body_structure>Lead with the rule itself, then a **Why:** line (the reason the user gave — often a past incident or strong preference) and a **How to apply:** line (when/where this guidance kicks in). Knowing *why* lets you judge edge cases instead of blindly following the rule.</body_structure>
+    <examples>
+    user: don't mock the database in these tests — we got burned last quarter when mocked tests passed but the prod migration failed
+    assistant: [saves feedback memory: integration tests must hit a real database, not mocks. Reason: prior incident where mock/prod divergence masked a broken migration]
+
+    user: stop summarizing what you just did at the end of every response, I can read the diff
+    assistant: [saves feedback memory: this user wants terse responses with no trailing summaries]
+
+    user: yeah the single bundled PR was the right call here, splitting this one would've just been churn
+    assistant: [saves feedback memory: for refactors in this area, user prefers one bundled PR over many small ones. Confirmed after I chose this approach — a validated judgment call, not a correction]

+
+## What NOT to save in memory
+
+- Code patterns, conventions, architecture, file paths, or project structure — these can be derived by reading the current project state.
+- Git history, recent changes, or who-changed-what — `git log` / `git blame` are authoritative.
+- Debugging solutions or fix recipes — the fix is in the code; the commit message has the context.
+- Anything already documented in CLAUDE.md files.
+- Ephemeral task details: in-progress work, temporary state, current conversation context.
+
+These exclusions apply even when the user explicitly asks you to save. If they ask you to save a PR list or activity summary, ask what was *surprising* or *non-obvious* about it — that is the part worth keeping.
+
+## How to save memories
+
+Saving a memory is a two-step process:
+
+**Step 1** — write the memory to its own file (e.g., `user_role.md`, `feedback_testing.md`) using this frontmatter format:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: {{memory name}}
+description: {{one-line description — used to decide relevance in future conversations, so be specific}}
+type: {{user, feedback, project, reference}}
+---
+
+{{memory content — for feedback/project types, structure as: rule/fact, then **Why:** and **How to apply:** lines}}
+```
+
+**Step 2** — add a pointer to that file in `MEMORY.md`. `MEMORY.md` is an index, not a memory — each entry should be one line, under ~150 characters: `- [Title](file.md) — one-line hook`. It has no frontmatter. Never write memory content directly into `MEMORY.md`.
+
+- `MEMORY.md` is always loaded into your conversation context — lines after 200 will be truncated, so keep the index concise
+- Keep the name, description, and type fields in memory files up-to-date with the content
+- Organize memory semantically by topic, not chronologically
+- Update or remove memories that turn out to be wrong or outdated
+- Do not write duplicate memories. First check if there is an existing memory you can update before writing a new one.
+
+## When to access memories
+- When memories seem relevant, or the user references prior-conversation work.
+- You MUST access memory when the user explicitly asks you to check, recall, or remember.
+- If the user says to *ignore* or *not use* memory: Do not apply remembered facts, cite, compare against, or mention memory content.
+- Memory records can become stale over time. Use memory as context for what was true at a given point in time. Before answering the user or building assumptions based solely on information in memory records, verify that the memory is still correct and up-to-date by reading the current state of the files or resources. If a recalled memory conflicts with current information, trust what you observe now — and update or remove the stale memory rather than acting on it.
+
+## Before recommending from memory
+
+A memory that names a specific function, file, or flag is a claim that it existed *when the memory was written*. It may have been renamed, removed, or never merged. Before recommending it:
+
+- If the memory names a file path: check the file exists.
+- If the memory names a function or flag: grep for it.
+- If the user is about to act on your recommendation (not just asking about history), verify first.
+
+"The memory says X exists" is not the same as "X exists now."
+
+A memory that summarizes repo state (activity logs, architecture snapshots) is frozen in time. If the user asks about *recent* or *current* state, prefer `git log` or reading the code over recalling the snapshot.
+
+## Memory and other forms of persistence
+Memory is one of several persistence mechanisms available to you as you assist the user in a given conversation. The distinction is often that memory can be recalled in future conversations and should not be used for persisting information that is only useful within the scope of the current conversation.
+- When to use or update a plan instead of memory: If you are about to start a non-trivial implementation task and would like to reach alignment with the user on your approach you should use a Plan rather than saving this information to memory. Similarly, if you already have a plan within the conversation and you have changed your approach persist that change by updating the plan rather than saving a memory.
+- When to use or update tasks instead of memory: When you need to break your work in current conversation into discrete steps or keep track of your progress use tasks instead of saving to memory. Tasks are great for persisting information about the work that needs to be done in the current conversation, but memory should be reserved for information that will be useful in future conversations.
+
+- Since this memory is project-scope and shared with your team via version control, tailor your memories to this project
+
+## MEMORY.md
+
+Your MEMORY.md is currently empty. When you save new memories, they will appear here.

+# Code Review — Changes Since Last Commit
+
+**Reviewed at**: 2026-04-15T00:00:00-07:00
+**Files changed**: 6 visible in working tree (`2` modified, `4` untracked)
+
+## Findings
+
+1. Critical — `.claude/settings.json:8`
+The new `Stop` hook matches every stop event (`"matcher": ""`) and runs `codex exec "Review changes since last commit..."`. That spawned Codex process will itself reach a stop event and, with the same config, can invoke the hook again. There is no guard to prevent self-triggering recursion, so this can loop indefinitely and keep spawning review sessions.
+
+2. High — `README.md:19`
+The revised quick-start instructions are not runnable in this checkout. They tell users to copy `.env.example`, but there is no `.env.example` at repo root, and then to run `./scripts/start_mac.sh` or `scripts\start_windows.ps1`, but there is no top-level `scripts/` directory. A new contributor following the README will fail immediately.
+
+3. Medium — `planning/SINCE-COMMIT-REVIEW2.md:5`
+The generated review artifact says the working tree is clean and reports `Files changed: 0`, which is false. The repo currently has modified files (`.claude/settings.json`, `README.md`) and untracked files. Because this document contradicts observable repo state, it is not reliable as an audit artifact.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- If the stop hook is intentional, what condition is supposed to prevent the review command from retriggering itself?
+- Were `.env.example` and the startup scripts meant to be added in the same change, or should the README continue to document a different startup path?
+
+## Summary
+
+The main regressions are operational rather than code-level: the new Claude stop hook can recursively self-invoke, and the README now documents a startup path that does not exist in the repository. There is also a generated review file that incorrectly states there are no pending changes, so it should not be used as a source of truth.

-# Code Review — Changes Since Last Commit
-
-**Reviewed at**: 2026-04-15T00:00:00-07:00
-**Files changed**: 6 visible in working tree (`2` modified, `4` untracked)
-
-## Findings
-
-1. Critical — `.claude/settings.json:8`
-The new `Stop` hook matches every stop event (`"matcher": ""`) and runs `codex exec "Review changes since last commit..."`. That spawned Codex process will itself reach a stop event and, with the same config, can invoke the hook again. There is no guard to prevent self-triggering recursion, so this can loop indefinitely and keep spawning review sessions.
-
-2. High — `README.md:19`
-The revised quick-start instructions are not runnable in this checkout. They tell users to copy `.env.example`, but there is no `.env.example` at repo root, and then to run `./scripts/start_mac.sh` or `scripts\start_windows.ps1`, but there is no top-level `scripts/` directory. A new contributor following the README will fail immediately.
-
-3. Medium — `planning/SINCE-COMMIT-REVIEW2.md:5`
-The generated review artifact says the working tree is clean and reports `Files changed: 0`, which is false. The repo currently has modified files (`.claude/settings.json`, `README.md`) and untracked files. Because this document contradicts observable repo state, it is not reliable as an audit artifact.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-- If the stop hook is intentional, what condition is supposed to prevent the review command from retriggering itself?
-- Were `.env.example` and the startup scripts meant to be added in the same change, or should the README continue to document a different startup path?
-
-## Summary
-
-The main regressions are operational rather than code-level: the new Claude stop hook can recursively self-invoke, and the README now documents a startup path that does not exist in the repository. There is also a generated review file that incorrectly states there are no pending changes, so it should not be used as a source of truth.

-# Review of `planning/PLAN.md`
-
-## Findings
-
-### 1. Trade execution is underspecified for concurrent requests, which can corrupt cash/position state
-`planning/PLAN.md:171-173`, `planning/PLAN.md:275`, `planning/PLAN.md:304-305`, and `planning/PLAN.md:401` define trading against an in-memory price cache with validation on current cash/owned quantity, but the plan never requires atomic database transactions or any per-user locking around the read-modify-write sequence. In practice, two rapid requests from the trade bar, double-clicks, or overlapping chat/manual trades can both pass validation before either write commits, resulting in overspending cash or overselling shares. The plan should explicitly require transactional trade execution and define how concurrent requests are serialized.
-
-### 2. The test plan conflicts with the shared bind-mounted SQLite database, so E2E runs will not be deterministic
-`planning/PLAN.md:521` says the repo-root `db/` directory is the single source of truth for runtime persistence in local development and test runs, while `planning/PLAN.md:565-577` expects repeatable E2E scenarios such as a fresh start with the default watchlist and `$10k` cash. Reusing the same host-mounted database across test runs means prior trades/watchlist edits will leak into later runs unless every test manually resets the file. The plan should reserve an isolated database path or disposable volume for test execution instead of sharing the developer runtime database.
-
-### 3. Chat history is persisted but there is no read API to restore it on page reload
-`planning/PLAN.md:249-255` defines a persistent `chat_messages` table, and `planning/PLAN.md:397` says the backend reloads recent conversation history for LLM context, but `planning/PLAN.md:315-382` exposes only `POST /api/chat`. That leaves the frontend without a supported way to populate the “scrolling conversation history” after refresh or on first load, despite storing the data. Either the product should explicitly accept ephemeral UI history, or the API section needs a `GET /api/chat/history`-style contract.
-
-### 4. The documented chat response example contradicts the portfolio contract
-In the `POST /api/chat` example at `planning/PLAN.md:327-370`, the assistant reports an executed buy of 5 AAPL shares at `191.2`, and the returned `cash_balance` drops to `9044.0`, but the `portfolio.positions` array is still empty (`planning/PLAN.md:364-367`). That directly conflicts with the earlier `/api/portfolio` contract at `planning/PLAN.md:278-296`, where open positions must be returned and `total_value` includes their market value. This kind of example-level inconsistency is likely to leak into implementation and tests unless corrected.
-
-### 5. The watchlist API contract is too thin for the UI it is supposed to power
-`planning/PLAN.md:311-313` says `GET /api/watchlist` returns the current watchlist tickers with latest prices, but the frontend requirements at `planning/PLAN.md:473-487` need at least daily change, stale/disconnected state handling, and enough market fields to seed the watchlist immediately before SSE updates arrive. Unlike `/api/portfolio` and `/api/chat`, there is no response schema here, so frontend and backend agents can easily diverge on field names and completeness. The plan should define the watchlist response shape explicitly, ideally aligned with the SSE `snapshot` payload.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-- Is chat history intended to survive refreshes, or is persistence only for LLM context/audit?
-- Should test infrastructure use a separate SQLite file under `test/` or a disposable tmp path/volume?
-- Is trade execution expected to be safe under overlapping manual and AI-originated requests, or is single-flight enforcement acceptable?
