Root cause of "price plan needed in bulk but fine on manual reload": on free
tiers FMP returns only market cap (others 402) and the chain merged that as a
partial success — so when the Finnhub/Alpha Vantage fallbacks were rate-limited
during a bulk run, the chain silently returned market-cap-only and the
collector's backoff never engaged. Manual single fetches worked because the
fallbacks weren't throttled at that moment.
Fixes:
- Chain distinguishes RateLimitError from other failures: if a fallback is
rate-limited and fields are still missing, raise RateLimitError (unless
allow_partial=True) so the collector backs off and retries.
- Bulk job paces requests (fundamental_request_spacing_seconds, default 3s) to
stay under Finnhub's ~60/min, and on retry-exhaustion stores partial data and
continues instead of aborting the whole run.
- Manual fetch passes allow_partial=True so a lone 429 doesn't fail the refresh.

Triggered by CNC showing "LONG (High Confidence)" with SHORT reasoning
and no long setup.
- A: recommendation action + reasoning are ticker-level and identical
on both setups; reasoning always matches the shown action
- B: recommended_action only picks a direction with a tradeable setup;
strong bias with no setup (e.g. price at ATH) → NEUTRAL with an
explanatory reason instead of a fake LONG_HIGH
- C: confidence is a directional-agreement model — opposing signals push
it below 50 (SHORT on a 92-technical/99-momentum stock ~0%, not 55%)
- D: fundamental score requires >=2 real metrics (market-cap-only no
longer yields a high score)
- E: RSI score peaks at healthy momentum (~60) and penalizes
overbought/oversold extremes instead of treating RSI 90 as maximal
- F: fundamentals chain merges fields across providers (FMP market cap
+ Finnhub P/E) instead of stopping at the first with any field
- NEUTRAL label: "No Clear Setup" (covers untradeable-bias case)
Scores recompute on next scan/scoring run; C and E shift score
distributions intentionally.
