Add resilient multi-account orchestration helpers (#22)

* Add SDK orchestration helpers for resilient multi-account collection

- collect_latest_rates_for_accounts_with_retries(): exponential-backoff
  retries around collect_latest_rates_for_accounts(), retrying only
  Mt5TradingError/Mt5RuntimeError and re-raising on exhaustion.
- resolve_account_spec()/resolve_account_specs() and
  substitute_env_placeholders(): merge explicit overrides over AccountSpec
  fields and expand ${ENV_VAR} placeholders, raising ValueError on missing
  variables.
- ThrottledHistoryUpdater: monotonic-clock throttled wrapper around
  update_history() with should_update()/update() and opt-in suppress_errors.
- load_rate_series_by_granularity(): rate-series loader keyed by
  (symbol | None, granularity_name).
- Export new APIs, add unit tests (100% coverage), and document in README
  and docs/api.

* chore: bump version from 0.5.1 to 0.5.3 (#24)

* fix: resolve leftover merge conflict markers in version files

Co-authored-by: Daichi Narushima <dceoy@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: address PR review feedback on SDK orchestration helpers

- Use single-pass env substitution to avoid TOCTOU KeyError
- Apply backoff_base to all retry delays (backoff_base ** (attempt + 1))
- Preserve integer logins in resolve_account_spec; hide login in repr
- Fix docs examples (env ordering, while True loop, backoff comment)
- Parametrize suppress_errors tests for MT5 and SQLite errors

-History orders and deals are fetched per symbol and concatenated, so the symbol filter is applied consistently across all datasets. The `cash_events` view is derived from symbol-filtered `history_deals`, so account-level cash events with empty or non-matching symbols may be excluded. The `rates` table records the requested `timeframe` so appended runs at different timeframes remain distinguishable. The `positions_reconstructed` view aggregates trade deals by `position_id`, excludes positions without closing deals, and uses volume-weighted open/close prices; reversal deals (`DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT`) are reported via `volume_reversal` / `reversal_count` columns and do not contribute to the weighted prices.

+### Incremental history SDK
+
+For automated pipelines, use the importable incremental API instead of re-fetching fixed date ranges:
+
+```python
+from pdmt5 import Mt5Config, Mt5DataClient
+from mt5cli import Dataset, update_history, update_history_with_config
+
+# Reuse an already-connected pdmt5 client (does not open/close MT5)
+client = Mt5DataClient(config=Mt5Config(login=12345))
+client.initialize_and_login_mt5()
+try:
+    update_history(
+        client=client,
+        output="history.db",
+        symbols=["EURUSD", "GBPUSD"],
+        datasets={Dataset.rates, Dataset.history_deals},
+        timeframes=["M1", "H1"],  # default: all fixed MT5 timeframes
+        lookback_hours=24,
+        create_rate_views=True,
+        with_views=True,
+        include_account_events=True,
+    )
+finally:
+    client.shutdown()
+
+# Standalone wrapper that opens and closes MT5 for you
+update_history_with_config(
+    output="history.db",
+    symbols=["EURUSD"],
+    config=Mt5Config(login=12345),
+)
+```
+
+- **`collect-history`**: explicit date-range export into SQLite.
+- **`update_history`**: incremental append based on existing SQLite `MAX(time)` per symbol (and timeframe for rates); account-level deals use a separate cursor when `include_account_events=True`.
+- **`rates` table**: normalized storage with `symbol` and `timeframe` columns.
+- **Rate compatibility views**: mt5cli manages all `rate_*` views. Naming is `rate_<symbol>__<timeframe>` when a symbol has one timeframe, otherwise `rate_<symbol>__<granularity>_<timeframe>` (for example `rate_EURUSD__M1_1`). Stale `rate_*` views are dropped and recreated when rates change for offline tools such as mteor optimize.
+- **Rate view resolution**: use `resolve_rate_view_name()` / `resolve_rate_view_names()` to map symbols and granularities to existing SQLite compatibility views without creating databases. Both accept `None` (or a missing path) and return deterministic default names unless `require_existing=True`.
+- **Rate view loading**: use `load_rate_data()` / `load_rate_data_from_connection()` to load a SQLite rate table or view into a `DatetimeIndex` DataFrame.
+- **Multi-series rate loading**: use `build_rate_targets()` to build neutral `RateTarget(symbol, timeframe)` pairs, `resolve_rate_tables()` to map them to table/view names (pass `require_existing=True` for strict resolution), and `load_rate_series_from_sqlite()` to load them into a mapping keyed by `(symbol, integer timeframe)`. The loader requires existing managed views unless `explicit_tables` is supplied, and rejects duplicate `(symbol, timeframe)` targets.
+- **Multi-account latest rates**: use `collect_latest_rates_for_accounts()` with `AccountSpec` to read the latest bars for several account groups, merged into a `(symbol, integer timeframe)` mapping. For long-running pollers, `collect_latest_rates_for_accounts_with_retries()` adds bounded exponential backoff that retries only `pdmt5.Mt5TradingError` / `pdmt5.Mt5RuntimeError` and re-raises once `retry_count` is exhausted.
+- **Credential resolution**: use `resolve_account_spec()` / `resolve_account_specs()` to merge explicit override values over `AccountSpec` fields and expand `${ENV_VAR}` placeholders (via `substitute_env_placeholders()`), raising `ValueError` for missing variables. This keeps secrets out of plan/config files without coupling to any strategy code.
+- **Throttled history updates**: use `ThrottledHistoryUpdater` to wrap `update_history()` with a minimum `interval_seconds` between successful runs (monotonic clock). Call `should_update()` / `update(client, symbols)` from an application loop; errors propagate by default, or pass `suppress_errors=True` to swallow recoverable `Mt5*Error`/`sqlite3.Error` and let the caller decide logging.
+- **Granularity-keyed rate loading**: `load_rate_series_by_granularity()` builds targets with `build_rate_targets()`, loads them with `load_rate_series_from_sqlite()`, and returns a mapping keyed by `(symbol | None, granularity_name)` such as `("EURUSD", "M1")` to reduce downstream boilerplate.
+- **MT5 session helper**: use the `mt5_session()` context manager to attach to (or, when `Mt5Config.path` is set, launch) an MT5 terminal, log in, and yield a connected `Mt5CliClient` that shuts down on exit.
+- **SQLite export helpers**: use `export_dataframe_to_sqlite()` for append mode, optional index export, and post-write deduplication by key columns.
+- **Recent ticks and margins**: `recent_ticks()` and `minimum_margins()` SDK helpers (and matching CLI commands) cover common downstream read-only queries.

+# History Collection (SQLite)

+::: mt5cli.history
+
+## `collect-history` schema
+
+The `collect-history` command (and the matching `collect_history` SDK function) writes
+selected MT5 datasets into one SQLite database. Each dataset becomes a table; column
+names and types mirror the pdmt5 DataFrame schema for that export, with two additions:
+
+- `symbol` is prepended on every table.
+- `timeframe` is prepended on `rates` so appended runs at different bar sizes stay
+  distinguishable.
+
+SQLite does not declare foreign keys. Rows are linked logically by `symbol`, time
+windows, and (for deals) `position_id` / `order`. Duplicate rows are removed on
+append using dataset-specific keys (for example `ticket` on history tables, or
+`(symbol, timeframe, time)` on rates).
+
+Optional views are created when `--with-views` is set and the `history-deals` dataset
+was written.

+| `rates`                   | table | `copy_rates_range`   | Indexed on `(symbol, timeframe, time)` when columns exist.                                  |

+| `history_orders`          | table | `history_orders_get` | Fetched per `--symbol`, then concatenated.                                                  |
+| `history_deals`           | table | `history_deals_get`  | Fetched per `--symbol`, then concatenated. Indexed on `(position_id, symbol)` when present. |
+| `cash_events`             | view  | `history_deals`      | Non-trade deal types (deposits, balance ops, etc.). Requires `type` column.                 |
+| `positions_reconstructed` | view  | `history_deals`      | One row per closed `position_id`; volume-weighted prices and reversal stats.                |
+
+Column sets can vary with terminal and pdmt5 version. Views are skipped with a warning
+when required columns are missing.
+
+### Incremental collection
+
+The `update_history` SDK path uses the same base tables and optional
+`cash_events` / `positions_reconstructed` views. It additionally maintains
+`rate_<symbol>__<timeframe>` compatibility views when `create_rate_views=True`.
+
+### Rate view resolution
+
+Downstream tools can resolve mt5cli-managed compatibility view names from an
+existing SQLite history database without creating files or guessing naming
+schemes:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from mt5cli.history import resolve_rate_view_name, resolve_rate_view_names
+
+# Single symbol and granularity
+view = resolve_rate_view_name(Path("history.db"), "EURUSD", "M1")
+
+# Batch resolution in row-major order
+views = resolve_rate_view_names(
+    Path("history.db"),
+    ["EURUSD", "GBPUSD"],
+    ["M1", "H1"],
+)
+```
+
+Resolution rules:
+
+- Returns `rate_<symbol>__<timeframe>` when a symbol stores one timeframe.
+- Returns `rate_<symbol>__<granularity>_<timeframe>` when multiple timeframes
+  are stored for the same symbol.
+- When multiple naming candidates apply, prefers an existing managed
+  `rate_*__*` view from the candidate list.
+- Falls back to single-timeframe naming when the database path is missing or
+  `rates` metadata is unavailable.
+- Pass `require_existing=True` to raise `ValueError` instead of returning a
+  best-guess name when the database or view is missing.
+- Accepts either a SQLite path or an open `sqlite3.Connection`.
+
+### Rate data loading
+
+Use `load_rate_data()` to load a table or view from a SQLite path, or
+`load_rate_data_from_connection()` when you already have a connection:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from mt5cli import load_rate_data
+from mt5cli.history import resolve_rate_view_name
+
+view = resolve_rate_view_name(Path("history.db"), "EURUSD", "M1", require_existing=True)
+rates = load_rate_data(Path("history.db"), view, count=1000)
+```
+
+The loader accepts close-based OHLC rate data or tick-like bid/ask data. It
+validates that `time` exists, parses timestamps with pandas, and returns a
+DataFrame indexed by ascending `DatetimeIndex` named `time`.
+
+### Multi-series rate loading
+
+For loading many rate series at once, build neutral `RateTarget` pairs and load
+them from SQLite in one call. View names are resolved via the same
+compatibility-view rules, or you can pass `explicit_tables` to bypass resolution:
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+
+from mt5cli import build_rate_targets, load_rate_series_from_sqlite
+
+targets = build_rate_targets(["EURUSD", "GBPUSD"], ["M1", "H1"])
+series = load_rate_series_from_sqlite(Path("history.db"), targets, count=1000)
+frame = series["EURUSD", 1]  # keyed by (symbol, integer timeframe)
+```
+
+- `build_rate_targets()` returns `RateTarget(symbol, timeframe)` pairs in
+  row-major order, normalizing timeframe names such as `"M1"` to their integer
+  values; set `allow_missing_symbol=True` to address series solely by
+  `explicit_tables` (targets carry `symbol=None`).
+- `resolve_rate_tables()` maps targets to table or view names and validates that
+  any `explicit_tables` count matches the target count. Pass
+  `require_existing=True` to raise `ValueError` instead of returning a
+  best-guess name when the database or managed view is missing. When
+  `explicit_tables` is provided, names are returned as-is and
+  `require_existing` is ignored.
+- `load_rate_series_from_sqlite()` returns a mapping keyed by
+  `(symbol, integer timeframe)`. Unless `explicit_tables` is supplied, it
+  requires existing managed `rate_*` compatibility views and raises
+  `ValueError` when they are missing. Duplicate `(symbol, timeframe)` targets
+  are rejected.
+- `load_rate_series_by_granularity()` is a thin wrapper that builds the targets,
+  loads the series, and rekeys the result by granularity name to avoid
+  converting integer timeframes downstream:
+
+  ```python
+  from mt5cli import load_rate_series_by_granularity
+
+  series = load_rate_series_by_granularity(
+      "history.db", ["EURUSD"], ["M1", "H1"], count=1000
+  )
+  frame = series["EURUSD", "M1"]  # keyed by (symbol | None, granularity_name)
+  ```

 # SDK Module
 
 ::: mt5cli.sdk
+
+## Resilient multi-account orchestration
+
+The SDK ships strategy-agnostic helpers for building long-running collectors on
+top of the read-only client. None of them depend on a particular trading
+application.
+
+### Retrying transient rate collection
+
+`collect_latest_rates_for_accounts_with_retries()` wraps
+`collect_latest_rates_for_accounts()` with bounded exponential backoff. Only
+`pdmt5.Mt5TradingError` and `pdmt5.Mt5RuntimeError` are retried; the final
+failure is re-raised once `retry_count` is exhausted.
+
+```python
+from mt5cli import AccountSpec, collect_latest_rates_for_accounts_with_retries
+
+accounts = [AccountSpec(symbols=["EURUSD"], login=12345)]
+rates = collect_latest_rates_for_accounts_with_retries(
+    accounts,
+    ["M1", "H1"],
+    count=500,
+    retry_count=3,
+    backoff_base=2,  # sleeps 2s, 4s, 8s between attempts
+)
+```
+
+### Resolving credentials and `${ENV_VAR}` placeholders
+
+`resolve_account_spec()` / `resolve_account_specs()` merge explicit override
+values over `AccountSpec` fields and expand `${ENV_VAR}` placeholders, keeping
+secrets out of plan/config files. A missing environment variable raises
+`ValueError`.
+
+```python
+import os
+
+from mt5cli import AccountSpec, resolve_account_specs
+
+os.environ["MT5_LOGIN"] = "12345"
+os.environ["MT5_PASSWORD"] = "secret"
+accounts = [
+    AccountSpec(symbols=["EURUSD"], login="${MT5_LOGIN}", password="${MT5_PASSWORD}")
+]
+
+resolved = resolve_account_specs(accounts, server="Broker-Demo")
+# resolved[0].login == "12345", resolved[0].server == "Broker-Demo"
+```
+
+### Throttled incremental history updates
+
+`ThrottledHistoryUpdater` wraps `update_history()` with a minimum interval
+between successful runs (using a monotonic clock), so an application loop can
+call it every iteration without over-fetching.
+
+```python
+from pdmt5 import Mt5Config, Mt5DataClient
+
+from mt5cli import Dataset, ThrottledHistoryUpdater
+
+updater = ThrottledHistoryUpdater(
+    output="history.db",
+    datasets={Dataset.rates},
+    timeframes=["M1"],
+    interval_seconds=60,  # <= 0 updates on every call
+)
+
+client = Mt5DataClient(config=Mt5Config(login=12345))
+client.initialize_and_login_mt5()
+try:
+    while True:
+        updater.update(client, ["EURUSD", "GBPUSD"])  # no-op until 60s elapse
+        # ... do other work; break when shutting down ...
+finally:
+    client.shutdown()
+```
+
+By default `Mt5TradingError`, `Mt5RuntimeError`, and `sqlite3.Error` propagate so
+the caller controls logging; pass `suppress_errors=True` to swallow them and
+return `False` without advancing the throttle.

The `cash_events` view is derived from symbol-filtered `history_deals`, so account-level cash events with empty or non-matching symbols may be excluded. The `positions_reconstructed` view excludes positions with no closing deal, uses volume-weighted open/close prices, and reports reversal deals (`DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT`) via `volume_reversal` / `reversal_count`.
