A firm's client used to stay logged in around the clock, renewing on a fixed
timer overnight and at weekends. Now, once a firm has nothing open, nothing
pending and nothing left to trade before its next session for a random
15–45 minutes, its client disconnects and the dashboard shows it Resting.
It logs back in a random 20–50 minutes before the next session opens, at a
check-in every 3–7 Central daytime hours, or at once when trading starts, a
manual leg, copy trade, manual order or AutoBuyer run needs it. Token
renewals fall at random points (Tradovate 15–45 min before expiry, TopstepX
every 45–150 min). Settings → Trading → Rest idle broker sessions
(session_rest) turns it off.

Four features:
- Backup: lib/backup-sync.ts pushes the full settings table and firm
credentials (the deliberate exception to "credentials never leave the
machine") to the master's bearer-gated /api/instances/backup — every
5 minutes when the content hash changed, within seconds of a settings
or credential edit, and on the new backup-now command. Enabled by the
master_backup_token setting.
- Restore: a dead VPS's replacement pulls the backup and adopts its
uuid/name, so roster, payouts and card links carry on. Pre-boot via
seed-settings.js --restore-from (setup-linux.sh prompts for it) or
the Settings page's restore picker (lib/backup-restore.ts). Stop the
old machine first; the master 409s a live-name rename.
- Proxy: the proxy_url setting routes BROKER traffic only — TopstepX
REST + SignalR hub, Tradovate REST + websocket, Yahoo quotes — via
lib/outbound-proxy.ts (axios agents, undici dispatcher, ws agent).
The master link, reporter, catalog and backup push stay direct, so a
dead proxy cannot take down the control channel. Restart to apply.
- Multi-instance: AUTOFIRMER_DB moves the SQLite file so one checkout
runs N instances; scripts/instances.json (per-device, gitignored)
drives start-all/update-check, and add-instance.sh / remove-instance.sh
manage the extra PM2 processes. Absent registry = single-instance
behavior, unchanged. Instance 1 keeps port 3000 for the clicker and
extension.

The welcome now carries a personId; it lands in the instance_id setting
and rides on every hello and HTTP report from then on. The master keys
the person by that uuid, so changing instance_name moves our history to
the new name instead of starting a stranger. Read-only in Settings on
purpose — editing it by hand would detach this machine from its person.

The two Tradeify automations clicked the 2captcha *extension's* solve button
and waited for it to go green. That needed a second extension installed and
signed in, put a real mouse click on a button whose markup is 2captcha's to
change, and gave a run no way to tell "still solving" from "not installed".
Replaced with one `solveCaptcha` step. No mouse: the extension reads the
widget's sitekey out of the page, the dashboard buys a token from 2captcha,
and the extension puts it in the response field and fires the page's own
callback.
captcha-hook.js is the part that earns its keep. A widget rendered
programmatically puts nothing in the DOM — no sitekey, and no callback. Most
pages only enable submit from that callback, so filling the hidden field alone
leaves the page looking unsolved. The hook wraps turnstile/grecaptcha/hcaptcha
`render` at document_start to hold on to what the page passed.
Solves go through 2captcha's residential proxy. Its API rejects host names in
proxyAddress, so na.proxy.2captcha.com is resolved to an IP first (cached);
the gateway was confirmed to work addressed that way.
Covers reCAPTCHA v2 (incl. invisible and Enterprise), hCaptcha and Turnstile.
NOT reCAPTCHA v3: a v3 page carries an anchor iframe with k=, so it is
detected as v2 and would be solved with the wrong task type. Everything else
unsupported fails loudly instead.
The API key and proxy credentials are hardcoded in the captcha route on
request. Unlike the sqlite database, that file is in the repo, so they travel
with it. TWOCAPTCHA_API_KEY / TWOCAPTCHA_PROXY and the settings rows still
override; neither has a field on the Settings page.
Runner VERSION and RUNNER_EXPECTED_VERSION both to 0.17.0 — they are a pair,
and a mismatch shows as a red "restart your runner" banner that blames the
wrong process.

Dropdown on settings page with two options:
- Full CME (5:00 PM – 3:00 PM CT) with 5 min buffer
- Equity Hours (8:30 AM – 3:00 PM CT) with 5 min buffer
Setting is read live each tick, no restart needed.

- New reporter module that pushes firm stats (total accounts, accounts
traded, in trade) to a configurable master dashboard every 30 seconds
- Add Instance Name and Dashboard URL fields to the settings page
- Register master_dashboard_url and instance_name in settings API
- Seed default (empty) values for new settings in db

- Seed tick_interval_seconds setting (default 60s)
- Expose tick_interval_seconds via GET/PATCH /api/settings
- startScheduler reads the setting at start time; enforces 5s minimum
- getSchedulerStatus returns intervalSeconds for the UI
- Main page: "Every [__] s" input in idle bar — saves on blur, persists across
restarts; running state displays "every Ns" next to symbol/action

- Auto-trade scheduler fires every 60s; uses Promise.allSettled batch so no new trades fire while any position from the current batch is open
- Commission gross-up: read entryCommission from cash.realizedPnL after fill (fallback 2.5×contracts), grossTarget = target + 2×entryCommission
- Sync gate: TradovateClient.syncComplete flag; scheduler skips tick until every client finishes initial position/balance sync
- Contracts formula changed to Math.ceil so $1500 target = 2 contracts
- Removed all fee caching (perContractFees, recentFills, fillFee handler) from tradovate-class.ts
- Removed firm_fees table, getFirmFees, upsertFirmFee from db.ts
- Deleted instrument-configs API routes; removed Fees UI from firm settings page
- /api/instruments returns full {symbol, enabled}[] objects; dashboard filters to enabled-only for trade selector
- Added auto-trade, debug, orders, settings, and trade API routes
- Instrument selector on dashboard now driven by enabled instruments from DB
