- CHANGELOG: inactivity_kill_secs default is disabled (None), not 120
- TROUBLESHOOTING: clarify inactivity_kill_secs is opt-in (must be
passed explicitly); correct "default 120" claim
- MCP_TOOLS: inactivity_kill_secs is disabled by default; add note
that Wine/macOS may not exit naturally even with ShutdownTerminal=1
- handlers/backtest.rs: remove stale comment claiming inactivity
watchdog is "intentionally skipped when shutdown=true" — replaced
with accurate description of the new 30s HTML-wait + kill behavior
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- fix: inactivity watchdog now waits 30s for HTML report then kills
terminal64.exe unconditionally — ShutdownTerminal=1 does not cause
MT5 to exit on Wine/macOS; relying on natural exit caused all runs
to fall back to journal extraction
- fix: tester agent log deduplication — each deal is written twice in
the log; use HashSet to skip already-seen deal numbers
- fix: position tracker for entry direction inference — infer "in"/"out"
from per-symbol signed lot accumulation instead of guessing
- fix: is_closed_trade() no longer gates on profit!=0.0 — journal deals
have profit=0.0 legitimately; the old gate hid all 140 deals from
list_deals
- fix: log file selection priority — prefer Agent-127.0.0.1 over
Agent-0.0.0.0 (startup-only log), tiebreak by file size
- feat: launch_backtest default shutdown=true; inactivity_kill_secs
default 120s exposed as tool parameter
- feat: report DB stores deals in SQLite; analytics resolve by
report_id / report_dir / latest
Verified: 1-month DPS21/XAUUSD.cent/M5 backtest produces full HTML
report with all metrics (win_rate=70%, profit_factor=0.77, sharpe=-3.61,
max_dd=6.93%) and all 17 analytics tools returning real data.

Add cargo-publish job that runs in parallel with binary builds.
The release job now depends on [build-macos, build-linux, cargo-publish]
so the crate is always published to crates.io before the GitHub release
and binaries are attached.
Requires CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN secret in repo settings.

Add ini_safe() helper that strips CR/LF from user-supplied string params
before they are written into terminal.ini and backtest_config.ini.
Applies to: expert path, symbol, timeframe, set_file — any value that
could carry an embedded newline and inject extra INI directives.

database.rs:
- search_by_tags: replace string-interpolated LIKE with parameterized ?N bindings
- search_by_notes: replace format!() SQL with prepared statement + ?1/?2 params
- search_by_set_file: same — use ?1 for pattern and ?2 for limit
backtest.rs (extract_and_store / monitor_backtest_completion):
- extract_and_store now returns bool — callers only delete report file if true
- guard both success paths with conditional delete + warning on failure
- replace .parent().unwrap() panic with explicit match + error log + graceful return

- mcp_server.rs: #[allow(dead_code)] on NotificationCallback type alias and get_notification_sender method
- handlers/mod.rs: #[allow(dead_code)] on past_complete_month helper
- Cargo.toml: move maintenance key into [package.metadata] (was invalid at package level)

Deals-in-DB architecture: per-deal data now stored in SQLite instead of
deals.csv/deals.json files.
- storage: add `deals` table with report_id FK; insert_deals/get_deals/get_by_report_dir methods
- extract: stop writing deals.csv and deals.json; only metrics.json written to disk
- pipeline: call db.insert_deals() after extraction; HTML report still deleted after parse
- analytics: all 19 tools now load deals from DB (report_id > report_dir > latest)
- analytics: resolve_report() helper replaces load_report_data/read_deals_from_csv
- analytics: calling any analytics tool with no args uses the latest report automatically
- tools: add export_deals_csv for on-demand CSV generation from DB
- tools: add get_by_report_dir for backward-compat lookup by filesystem path

Others can run optimization via terminal but lack:
- Background execution with polling
- Results parsing into structured data
- Automatic .set file generation
- Optimization history and search
- Update 'Others' column to acknowledge Windows MT5 Python package
- Clarify MQL5 compilation: others via GUI/terminal, we do headless
- Add 'Report organization' as unique MT5-Quant feature
- Emphasize focus on backtest analytics and workflow management
On the first tool call of each session, a background task fires once
and fetches the latest release tag from the GitHub API (5 s timeout).
The result is cached in a static OnceLock for the lifetime of the
process — no repeated network calls.
check_update: returns cached result instantly, or fetches on demand
if the background task hasn't completed yet.
update: downloads the latest tarball for the current platform, extracts
the binary, and atomically replaces the running executable via a
temp-file rename. Requires MCP reconnect to activate new version.
Platform support: macos-aarch64, macos-x86_64, linux-x86_64.
Unsupported platforms return a build-from-source hint.
Tool count: 87 → 89. README and MCP_TOOLS.md updated.

release.sh:
- Add --yes/-y flag (and CI=true) for non-interactive execution
- Auto-resolve server.json conflict during rebase-before-push so CI's
SHA256 commit no longer blocks the push
- Fix major version bump (was double-assigned, now single expression)
build-release.sh:
- Remove cp of /CLAUDE.md (gitignored personal file — caused build failure)
- Bundle all IDE setup docs (QUICKSTART, CLAUDE, CURSOR, VSCODE, WINDSURF)
- Use set -euo pipefail; chmod +x binary; clean up dist/ subdir after tar
build-rust.sh:
- Replace Windsurf-specific install hint with generic cargo install --path . --force
- Use set -euo pipefail
setup.sh:
- Replace "Antigravity" with "Claude Desktop" in comments and output

v1.6.0 dropped the version number from asset filenames
(mcp-publisher_linux_amd64.tar.gz, not mcp-publisher_1.6.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz).
Look up the linux/amd64 .tar.gz URL directly from the GitHub releases API
instead of constructing it, so future renames don't break the workflow.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Change from wrong repo (mcp-publisher) to correct repo (registry)
- Use proper tar.gz format with versioned release URL
- Add tar extraction step
- Update manual install instructions with correct URL
- Update WINDSURF.md: Use registry name io.github.masdevid/mt5-quant
- Update CURSOR.md: Use ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant path
- Update QUICKSTART.md: Use standard path for all clients
- Update VSCODE.md: Use standard path
- Update setup.sh: Prefer ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant over project path
- Add fallback warning in setup.sh if project path used
Single source of truth: ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant
- Add final job that displays copy-paste registration commands
- Shows Claude Code, Windsurf, and VS Code/Cursor commands
- Includes release URLs and success banner
- Add workflow_dispatch with version input for manual releases
- Remove tag-only condition - now works with manual triggers
- Use github.event.inputs.version || github.ref_name for flexibility
- Add MCP package artifact upload
- Add mcp-publish job with OIDC support instructions
- Use ~/.local/bin/mt5-quant as single installation location
- Remove redundant project URL references
- Simplify MCP registration for all clients (Claude, Windsurf, VS Code)
- Add handle_notification() for notification messages (no id field)
- Use CARGO_PKG_VERSION for dynamic version in initialize response
- Skip serializing None fields in McpResponse and McpError
- Remove verified field from setup info
tracing_subscriber::fmt::init() defaults to stdout, contaminating the
MCP JSON-RPC stream and causing Claude Code and Windsurf to fail the
initialize handshake with "failed to reconnect".

Both handlers accepted a user-supplied output_path without boundary
validation, allowing MCP clients to write files to arbitrary filesystem
locations. A new safe_output_path() helper canonicalizes the parent
directory and asserts the resolved path stays within the allowed base
directory before any fs::write() call.
Also fixes pre-existing unused-import/dead-code warnings that blocked
the -D warnings release build.

- check_mt5_status: check MT5 terminal readiness
Low Priority Tools:
- create_set_template: generate .set files from EA inputs
- export_report: export reports to CSV/JSON/Markdown
Other Changes:
- Consolidate config into src/models/config.rs, delete src/config.rs
- Add CurrentAccount with UTF-16LE parsing for common.ini
- Add BacktestPreflight struct for pre-flight checks
- Update backtest handler with active account context
- Update list_symbols to filter by active server
Total tools: 57
- Add auto_verify_result field to McpServer
- Run verify_setup automatically during initialize
- Include setup status in serverInfo response:
- verified: bool
- hint: string message
- Users immediately see if environment is ready
Changes to src/compile/mql_compiler.rs:
- Stage compilation to /tmp/mt5_compile_{ea}/ to avoid spaces in paths
(Wine /compile: chokes on spaces in paths like 'Application Support')
- Use bare /log flag - writes log adjacent to source instead of custom path
- Remove host_to_wine_path() conversion - use Unix paths directly
- Simplify MetaEditor invocation (no shell script on Linux)
- Clean up error handling logic
Fixes compilation failures when MT5 is installed in paths containing spaces.
MT5 binaries (MetaEditor64.exe, metatester64.exe, terminal64.exe) are all
GUI applications with no command-line data export capability.
Removed:
- export_ohlc - Cannot read proprietary .hst binary format
- export_ticks - Cannot read proprietary .ticks binary format
- list_available_data - Only scanned directories, didn't export
Total tools: 46 → 43
Alternative for data export:
1. Use MT5 History Center GUI → Export
2. Create MQL5 script using CopyRates()/CopyTicks() → FileWrite
3. Run the MQL5 script inside MT5 terminal
**New Tools:**
- export_ohlc: Export OHLC bar data from MT5 history to CSV/JSON
- export_ticks: Export tick data from MT5 tick database to CSV/JSON
- list_available_data: List available OHLC and tick data in MT5
**Implementation:**
- definitions/data.rs: Tool schemas for data export
- handlers/data.rs: Handlers that scan MT5 directories:
- history/*.hst files (OHLC)
- Tester/cache/* (cached data)
- Bases/* (tick data)
- Provides guidance on how to export since MT5 uses proprietary binary formats
- Includes MQL5 script template for programmatic export
**Note:** MT5 uses proprietary .hst and .ticks binary formats.
Direct export requires MQL5 script using CopyRates()/CopyTicks().

- Returns list of analytics that were run
**Changes:**
- analytics/analyze.rs: Made all analysis methods public
- tools/definitions.rs: Added 8 new tool definitions + updated analyze_report schema
- tools/handlers/mod.rs: Added dispatch for new tools
- tools/handlers/analysis.rs: Added helper load_report_data() + 8 granular handlers + selective analyze_report logic

- Set file snapshotting alongside extracted data
- Database registration integrated into backtest pipeline
**compile_ea Tool Improvements:**
- Support both 'expert' (EA name) and 'expert_path' (full path) parameters
- Auto-discovery: searches MT5 Experts dir and current directory for .mq5 files
- Better error messages when EA not found
- Added files_synced and warning_list to response
- Updated tool definition to reflect new parameters
**Pipeline Updates:**
- Backtest pipeline now registers results in database after completion
- Equity charts moved to OS temp dir with unique report ID
- HTML reports cleaned up after extraction
- Set file snapshots preserved for reproducibility
**Dependencies:**
- Added rusqlite for SQLite database support
