[codex] Add generic MT5 SDK and SQLite rate loader (#19)

* Add generic MT5 SDK and SQLite rate loader

* Fix MT5 latest rates connection reuse

* Make MT5 summary export safe

* Address PR review feedback for SDK and SQLite rate loader.

Reuse parse_sqlite_timestamp for rate time parsing, document empty-table
errors, tighten tests, and align docs with require_existing=True.

 - **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 `mt5cli.history.resolve_rate_view_name()` / `resolve_rate_view_names()` to map symbols and granularities to existing SQLite compatibility views without creating databases.

 The `update_history` SDK path uses the same base tables and optional

+
+### Rate view resolution
+
+Downstream tools can resolve mt5cli-managed compatibility view names from an
+existing SQLite history database without creating files or guessing legacy
+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")

+views = resolve_rate_view_names(

+    ["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`.

 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 `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`.
