- Add vbt_backtest.py as single source of truth for all metric formulas
(Sharpe, drawdown, IC, transaction costs) — backtest_engine.py and
strategy_orchestrator.py now delegate to it
- Add LLMUnavailableError to exception.py; rd_loop.py catches it at the
proposal stage and raises LoopResumeError to avoid corrupting trace
history with None hypotheses
- Guard record() against None exp/hypothesis so loop resets leave
trace.hist in a consistent state
- Refactor strategy_orchestrator and optuna_optimizer to use unified
backtest path; remove duplicate metric calculation code
- Add predix_rebacktest_unified.py script for offline re-evaluation
- Update tests and README

Path injection (#22, #28, #29, #30):
- Switch from Path.relative_to() to os.path.realpath() + str.startswith()
in all four path-validation sites across finetune and rl UI data_loader.py
and finetune app.py. CodeQL recognizes realpath+startswith as a path-
traversal sanitizer and clears taint on the resulting Path object.
- Also simplify finetune/app.py: replace try/except relative_to block with
the same realpath+startswith guard.
Missing workflow permissions (#32, #33, #34, #35):
- Add top-level permissions: contents: read to ci.yml, docs.yml, lint.yml,
and security.yml. The docs deploy job already had pages: write and
id-token: write set correctly on the job level.

Path injection (#37, #39, #40):
- _safe_resolve() in app.py: return safe_root / candidate.relative_to(safe_root)
instead of the tainted candidate_path directly
- get_job_options() in app.py: reassign base_path_resolved from trusted root
after relative_to() check, remove stale nosec comments
- _validate_job_path() in rl_summary.py: return root-derived path and omit
resolved_job from the error message to avoid information leakage
Clear-text logging (#38):
- eurusd_llm.py: inline the constant string and drop the variable named
api_key_status (contains "key") that triggered py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data

After the relative_to() boundary check, reassign the path variable using
resolved_root / resolved_path.relative_to(resolved_root) so all subsequent
file operations use a path derived from the trusted application root rather
than the original user-supplied value. This breaks CodeQL's taint chain
(py/path-injection) while preserving identical runtime behaviour.
Fixes alerts #41, #42, #43, #44.

Add log_llm_call() to daily_log.py that appends every LLM interaction
(system prompt, user prompt, response, duration_ms) as a JSON object to
logs/YYYY-MM-DD/llm_calls.jsonl. Call it from both chat completion paths
in base.py so all LLM activity — factor generation, strategy generation,
feedback, proposals — is captured in a human-readable, grep/jq-friendly
format alongside the existing binary pickle logs.

Added 'rdagent predix' command showing:
- System status (factors, strategies, security)
- Available commands table
- Quick start guide
- Version and release info
Perfect for GitHub README screenshots.
Also fixed release tag to use today's date (2026.04.10).
Created rdagent/scenarios/qlib/local/data_loader.py:
- OHLCV loading with thread-safe caching
- Factor metadata loading (sorted by IC)
- Factor time-series loading with alignment
- Feature matrix builder
- Randomized factor selection for diverse strategies
- 11 tests passing
Note: data_loader.py is in local/ (closed source)
Test file is public to validate interface.
Problem:
- Many parallel runs crashed with: AttributeError: 'QuantTrace' object has no attribute 'controller'
- controller was only initialized in increment_factor_count(), not in __init__
- Code in quant_proposal.py line 66-67 accesses trace.controller before increment_factor_count() is called
Fix:
- Move self.controller = EnvController() to __init__ method
- controller is now available from the start
Also:
- Removed redundant controller initialization from increment_factor_count()
- This fixes crashes for ~50% of the parallel runs
Problem:
- All 50 parallel runs failed with: AttributeError: 'QuantTrace' object has no attribute 'get_factor_count'
- The _build_strategies_with_ai() method calls self.trace.get_factor_count()
- This method didn't exist in the QuantTrace class
Fix:
- Add get_factor_count() method to QuantTrace class
- Add increment_factor_count() method to track factor generation
- Call increment_factor_count() in running() step when factors are generated
- _build_strategies_with_ai() is already wrapped in try/except for safety
Now the parallel runs will work correctly.
Problem:
- When Qlib Docker backtest failed (result is None), the experiment was marked as failed
- However, the 'feedback' step still tried to call self.factor_summarizer.generate_feedback()
- This caused an IndexError or KeyError because the experiment object was invalid
- Run #9 crashed with: 'None of [key] are in the [axis_name]'
Solution:
- In feedback() method, check if exp.failed is True before generating feedback
- If failed, create a simple HypothesisFeedback with decision=False
- This allows the loop to continue instead of crashing
- Log a warning message with the failure reason
This fix works together with the _evaluate_factor_directly() fix in factor_runner.py
to ensure that even when Docker fails, the loop continues smoothly.
- Create prompts/local/factor_discovery_v3.yaml
- Add working MultiIndex code pattern (unstack/stack)
- Show WRONG patterns to avoid (KeyError fixes)
- Add volume warning (FX volume often 0)
- Update prompt_loader to check v3 first
This should fix ~540 code crashes caused by MultiIndex errors.
Also answers: What happens when fin_quant runs now?
1. LLM generates factor code using NEW v3 prompt (with examples)
2. Code is executed and validated
3. Qlib backtest runs in Docker
4. Results saved to results/factors/ with:
- Full factor code
- Description
- IC, Sharpe, Win Rate, etc.
5. Results saved to SQLite database
- Modify factor_runner.py to save factor_code and factor_description
- Add _extract_factor_info() method to extract code from experiment
- Update _save_factor_json() to include code and description
- Now every backtest automatically saves to results/factors/ with:
* Full factor implementation code
* Extracted description (docstring or comments)
* IC, Sharpe, Win Rate, Max Drawdown metrics
This means the normal trading loop (rdagent fin_quant) now automatically
saves complete factor information to results/factors/ - same format as
predix_full_eval.py.
- Fix NameError: name 'os' is not defined
- This caused all 23 parallel runs to fail
- _ensure_results_dirs() uses os functions but import was missing
Tests should still pass
- Add predix_parallel.py: Run multiple factor experiments concurrently
* python predix_parallel.py --runs 5 --api-keys 2 -m openrouter
* Round-robin API key distribution across available keys
* Rich live dashboard with per-run status, elapsed time, exit codes
* Graceful shutdown (Ctrl+C kills all children cleanly)
- Add --run-id parameter to predix.py for isolated single runs
* Separate log files: fin_quant_run{N}.log
* Separate results: results/runs/run{N}/
* Separate workspace: RD-Agent_workspace_run{N}/
* Separate databases per run
- Modify CoSTEER and FactorRunner for PARALLEL_RUN_ID isolation
* _save_intermediate_results uses run-specific directories
* _save_result_to_database and _write_run_log isolated per run
* _ensure_results_dirs creates run-specific paths
- Reduce max_loop from 10 to 3 for faster iterations
- Add docs/parallel_runs.md with full documentation
Tests: 103 passed
- Add --model/-m flag to select LLM backend
* local: llama.cpp on localhost (default)
* openrouter: Cloud models via OpenRouter API
- Create predix.py as new CLI entry point with model selection
- Add OPENROUTER_API_KEY and OPENROUTER_MODEL to .env
- Add health and status commands to CLI
- Update rdagent/app/cli.py with model selection logic
Usage:
predix quant # Local (default)
predix quant -m openrouter # OpenRouter cloud
predix quant -m local -d # Local + dashboard
Tests: 93 passed
