Review of the shadow book found seven ways the two books could leak into
each other; all are fixed here. The most serious silently invalidated the
comparison the shadow book exists to make.
- Shadow holdings no longer suppress the manual candidate list. The
open-trade exclusion filtered on any book, so shadow taking the
top-ranked names removed exactly those from the user's list and alerts,
confining the discretionary book to leftovers. Scoped to the manual
book. Closed-trade alerts and paper-book equity were leaking the same
way and are likewise scoped.
- Shadow sizing now matches _simulate_portfolio: min(1% risk, 20% notional
cap, available cash) from marked equity, plus the sub- dust guard.
Previously risk-only from realized equity, so a tight stop produced a
multiples-of-equity leveraged position the strategy would never take.
- Shadow only trades setups from the scan that just ran (<6h old) with one
setup per ticker. A failed or disabled scan step could otherwise open
positions from a prior session at stale prices.
- Gate-reset transitions are observed for both books, so a shadow stop-out
completes fail -> requalify instead of staying locked forever.
- Manual list/close endpoints default to the manual book and reject
hand-closing shadow trades; the performance endpoint is scoped to the
caller so 'your picks' is not every user's book.
- run_shadow_book is registered as a paused job so Admin can trigger it.
Also anchors three pre-existing paper-trade tests (and the new alpaca
window test) on the UTC date. They build fixtures from the local date but
the service stamps opened_at in UTC, so they failed only between 00:00 and
02:00 in a UTC+hh timezone -- latent on ba2df8b, exposed by the clock.
