# Fundamentals production deployment This is the one-time production setup for the Dolt earnings and SEC fundamentals imports. The A5 scoring cutover was approved on 2026-07-24; the compat-cache write path is still default-off until the explicit production switch below is set. Do not add OS cron entries: the application scheduler owns both jobs. ## What the deployment adds - `Dolt Earnings Import (shadow)` runs daily at 02:30 America/New_York. - `SEC Fundamentals Import` runs daily at 04:00 America/New_York. Its local `fundamental_data` refresh runs only when the A5 switch is enabled. - `Fundamentals Parity Report (read-only)` runs daily at 05:30 America/New_York. - Both jobs are visible, toggleable, and manually triggerable in Admin → Jobs. - Cron expressions are editable in Admin → Schedule. - Every attempt is recorded in `data_import_runs`; failures also create a system event. A failed validation does not promote partial data. The systemd service uses one application worker. The import framework also holds a PostgreSQL advisory lock per source, so an overlapping manual/scheduled run is skipped safely. ## Prerequisites The production `.env` at `/opt/signalplatform/.env` must contain: ```dotenv DOLT_BINARY=/usr/local/bin/dolt DOLT_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/signal-platform/dolt DOLT_EARNINGS_SUBDIR=earnings DOLT_MIN_FREE_DISK_GB=5.0 SEC_USER_AGENT=signal-platform/1.0 (contact: real-address@example.com) SEC_REQUEST_SPACING_SECONDS=0.2 FUNDAMENTALS_PARITY_REPORT_DIR=/var/lib/signal-platform/reports/fundamentals-parity ``` Use a real monitored contact address. Keep at least 5 GB free at the Dolt data path; 8–10 GB gives comfortable growth headroom. The data directory must stay outside `/opt/signalplatform`, because deployments use `rsync --delete` there. The parity-report directory is also persistent and owned by the service user; its small timestamped JSON/CSV bundles form the temporary A5 review trail. ## One-time provisioning First deploy the commit containing this bundle to production. Then SSH to the server and run: ```bash cd /opt/signalplatform sudo bash ./deploy/provision_fundamentals.sh sudo -u deploy bash ./deploy/provision_fundamentals.sh --check sudo systemctl restart signalplatform.service curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8998/api/v1/health ``` The provisioner is idempotent. It installs the pinned Dolt version, creates the persistent directory as `deploy:deploy`, clones `post-no-preference/earnings`, configures a repository-local author identity for `dolt pull`, verifies free space and `.env`, and refuses an unexpected Dolt version. It does not modify PostgreSQL or start an import. The public clone does not require `dolt login`. For a server provisioned before the author-identity check was added, repair the existing clone once with: ```bash sudo -u deploy -H /usr/local/bin/dolt config --global --add user.name "Signal Platform" sudo -u deploy -H /usr/local/bin/dolt config --global --add user.email "signal-platform@localhost" ``` Do not replace the pinned version with `latest`. A future Dolt upgrade should be a reviewed change to `DOLT_VERSION`, followed by the same provision/check flow. ## First-run verification In Admin → Jobs, wait until no other job is running, then: 1. Trigger **Dolt Earnings Import (shadow)**. Expect `completed` with import status `promoted`; a repeat without an upstream change should report `no_op`. 2. Trigger **SEC Fundamentals Import**. The first run performs the tracked-universe history backfill and can take materially longer than a daily incremental run. Expect `completed` with import status `promoted`. 3. Check Admin → System Events. There should be no new import error. 4. Confirm the next-run times correspond to 02:30 and 04:00 New York time. 5. Open several ticker pages and confirm the fundamentals panel has populated data and still handles partial/missing issuers cleanly. ## A5 parity observation window After both shadow imports are healthy, trigger **Fundamentals Parity Report (read-only)** once in Admin → Jobs. The **A5 Fundamentals Parity** card above the jobs shows the latest coverage/delta summary and provides authenticated JSON and CSV downloads. The canonical server-side bundles are archived at: ```text /var/lib/signal-platform/reports/fundamentals-parity/ ``` The scheduler then generates one report daily at 05:30 New York time, after the 02:30 Dolt and 04:00 SEC jobs. Review 5–7 consecutive reports before making the cutover decision. A report never writes `fundamental_data`, dimension/composite scores, rankings, qualification state, or an approval flag. Materiality bands only highlight rows for review; A5 still requires explicit approval. Each bundle contains legacy and candidate P/E, revenue growth, and earnings surprise; definition notes; source revisions and price dates; recomputed legacy and candidate fundamental scores; and per-universe fundamental-rank changes. Definition changes remain explicit even when numeric deltas are small. Optional database verification: ```sql SELECT source, status, revision, source_max_date, started_at, completed_at, validation_json FROM data_import_runs WHERE source IN ('dolt_earnings', 'sec_facts') ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10; SELECT count(*) FROM earnings_events WHERE source = 'dolt_earnings'; SELECT count(*), count(DISTINCT cik) FROM fundamental_snapshots; ``` During the longer first SEC run, execute the following in a second SSH session. It opens an independent database connection and attempts the same source lock: ```bash cd /opt/signalplatform sudo -u deploy .venv/bin/python - <<'PY' import asyncio from sqlalchemy import text from app.database import engine from app.services.data_import import _advisory_key async def main(): key = _advisory_key("sec_facts") async with engine.connect() as connection: acquired = await connection.scalar( text("SELECT pg_try_advisory_lock(:key)"), {"key": key} ) print("UNEXPECTED: lock acquired" if acquired else "OK: source lock is busy") if acquired: await connection.execute( text("SELECT pg_advisory_unlock(:key)"), {"key": key} ) asyncio.run(main()) PY ``` Expect `OK: source lock is busy`. This is the remaining live-PostgreSQL mutual-exclusion check; SQLite unit tests cannot exercise PostgreSQL advisory locks. A second Admin trigger should independently report the job as busy. ## A5 production activation (approved 2026-07-24) The write path is controlled by the SystemSetting `fundamental_data_sec_dolt_cutover_enabled`. An absent value, `false`, or any value other than `true` leaves `fundamental_data` untouched. Before enabling it, confirm the normal PostgreSQL backup containing `fundamental_data` is current. In **Admin → Settings → Fundamentals data source**: 1. Turn on **Use SEC + Dolt for scoring inputs** and accept the confirmation. 2. Click **Run refresh now**. The SEC import may be `promoted` or `no_op`; either result runs the local cache refresh. The weekly legacy collector is automatically skipped while the switch is on, so it cannot overwrite the activated cache. The switch remains visible even before its SystemSetting row exists because the safe default is off. If the Admin UI is unavailable, enable the cutover directly in PostgreSQL: ```sql INSERT INTO system_settings (key, value, updated_at) VALUES ('fundamental_data_sec_dolt_cutover_enabled', 'true', now()) ON CONFLICT (key) DO UPDATE SET value = EXCLUDED.value, updated_at = now(); ``` Then trigger **SEC Fundamentals Import** once in Admin → Jobs. Once enabled, the same refresh also runs after an SEC network/validation failure or a source-lock skip, because it reads only PostgreSQL snapshots, earnings events, and closes. The job message appends the cache row count and changed score-input count when the import itself completed successfully. Verify the switch and refreshed rows: ```sql SELECT key, value, updated_at FROM system_settings WHERE key = 'fundamental_data_sec_dolt_cutover_enabled'; SELECT count(*) AS rows, max(fetched_at) AS refreshed_at, count(pe_ratio) AS pe_available, count(revenue_growth) AS growth_available, count(earnings_surprise) AS surprise_available, count(next_earnings_date) AS next_date_available FROM fundamental_data; SELECT dimension, is_stale, count(*) FROM dimension_scores WHERE dimension = 'fundamental' GROUP BY dimension, is_stale; SELECT is_stale, count(*) FROM composite_scores GROUP BY is_stale; ``` The first refresh intentionally marks affected fundamental and composite score caches stale. The normal 15:30 near-close scanner recomputes them before using the rankings; until then, reads truthfully expose the stale state. Observe at least several scheduled cycles before A6 removes the legacy providers. ## Failure and rollback - To stop the A5 cache writes without stopping SEC snapshot ingestion, turn off **Use SEC + Dolt for scoring inputs** in Admin → Settings. If the UI is unavailable, set `fundamental_data_sec_dolt_cutover_enabled` back to `false` with the SQL above (changing only the value). This prevents the next local refresh but does not restore rows already replaced. Restore `fundamental_data` from the pre-cutover database backup, or—before A6—manually run the legacy Fundamental Collector if its provider keys and quota are still available. - Disable a failing source-import job in Admin → Jobs only when ingestion itself must stop. Existing promoted snapshots/events remain available. - Inspect the job runtime, latest `data_import_runs.validation_json`, service logs, and Admin → System Events before retrying. - Re-run `sudo -u deploy bash ./deploy/provision_fundamentals.sh --check` for binary, clone, permission, disk, or environment failures. - The Dolt clone is a reproducible cache and does not need a bespoke backup. PostgreSQL (including `earnings_events`, `fundamental_snapshots`, and import audit rows) must remain covered by the normal production database backup. - Do not proceed to A6 until the activated cache has completed the observation window and the forward earnings calendar remains timely. - If report generation fails, inspect Admin → System Events and verify `FUNDAMENTALS_PARITY_REPORT_DIR` exists and is writable by `deploy`. Existing reports and all live data remain untouched.
