This box no longer decides what firms exist. It caches the master's catalog
and stores one thing of its own: the Tradovate login for each firm. Creating
firms locally is gone — app/add, POST /api/firms, the account-config routes
and the banned-symbol route with it.
The cache is the point, not an optimisation. The scheduler needs every
account's target and size on each 60s tick, so fetching them per tick would
stop trading with positions open the first time the master rebooted. It is
one JSON blob in settings, replaced only by a complete valid response, and a
response with zero firms is refused outright: a misconfigured FIRMS_DB serves
{"firms":[]} as a healthy 200, and mirroring that would idle the whole fleet
at once.
Accounts bind to an account type by prefix AND size, the size taken from the
opening funding transaction. That does not arrive with the first sync, so an
account sits Unassigned and the resolver tries again next sync rather than
guessing. A type picked by hand is never overwritten by an auto pass. This
replaces the longest-prefix helper that had been copy-pasted into five files,
which could not tell two types with the same prefix apart at all.
firm_credentials and account_assignments deliberately have no foreign key to
the cached catalog. foreign_keys is ON, so a cascade would erase the Tradovate
passwords the moment a firm was removed on the master — routine, not
exceptional. They survive it, and are re-keyed by name if the master's database
is ever rebuilt with fresh ids.
The legacy firms/account_configs/firm_banned_symbols tables are left on disk,
unreferenced. firms is the only table that ever held plaintext credentials and
dropping it would make a rollback unrecoverable.

Three changes that ride together because they touch the same surface.
A control link to the master. lib/master-link.ts dials out to
<master>/ws/instance and holds it open, so the dashboard can trigger a trade or
queue an AutoBuyer run here. Commands call the same functions the local pages
call — runTrade, startScheduler, queueRun — so nothing reaches the broker by a
path the UI does not also use. Reports prefer the socket and fall back to the
existing POST, which keeps older masters working unchanged.
startMasterLink is idempotent, and that matters more than it looks: getClients()
is lazy and starts the link, so the first command re-enters it from inside a
command the live socket is waiting to ack. Tearing the socket down there loses
the ack and reports a trade that actually executed as a failure — which invites
pressing the button twice.
queueRun is lifted out of the automations route so the socket and HTTP share one
copy of the input clamping that decides how many times a purchase fires.
Page capture loses its switch and gains a scope. It now runs every tick, but
only against the active tab of the last-focused window that matches
host_permissions — so it follows the page in front of you and stops when you
switch away, where before it would fall back to any firm tab left open in the
background.
autobuyer_enabled is gone entirely. The AutoBuyer is ready whenever the runner
is; a run happens because someone asked for one. That does mean a queued run
executes as soon as clicker/runner.py claims it, with no second gate — stopping
the runner is now the way to make a machine idle.
Extension to 0.10.0; it needs a manual reload at chrome://extensions.
