• Migration 032: trading_universes + asset_selections tables (✅ Already exists)
• Migration 033: portfolio_allocations table (✅ Already exists)
• Migration 039: agent_performance_metrics table (✅ Fixed FK dependency)

Migrations Not Yet Created (future work):

• Migration 035: Extended portfolio allocation schema (optional, using JSONB for MVP)
• Migration 036: Order batches table (optional, using JSONB for MVP)
• Migration 037: Agent strategies table (optional, using JSONB for MVP)
• Migration 038: Agent activity log table (optional, using JSONB for MVP)

5. Docker Integration

docker-compose.yml:

• ✅ Added trading_agent_service container
• ✅ Ports: 50055 (gRPC), 8083 (health), 9095 (metrics)
• ✅ Depends on: postgres, redis, vault
• ✅ Health check: curl -f http://localhost:8083/health
• ✅ Environment variables:
  • DATABASE_URL (PostgreSQL)
  • REDIS_URL
  • VAULT_ADDR + VAULT_TOKEN
  • JWT_SECRET (from .env)

Dockerfile:

• ✅ Multi-stage build (Rust 1.83 builder + Debian bookworm-slim runtime)
• ✅ Installs grpc_health_probe v0.4.24
• ✅ Binary: /usr/local/bin/trading_agent_service
• ✅ Exposes ports: 50055, 8083, 9095

6. Proto Definition

trading_agent.proto (616 lines):

• ✅ Unified TradingAgentService with 18 methods
• ✅ Comprehensive message definitions:
  • Universe: SelectUniverseRequest/Response, GetUniverseRequest/Response
  • Assets: SelectAssetsRequest/Response, AssetScore
  • Allocation: AllocatePortfolioRequest/Response, AssetAllocation
  • Orders: GenerateOrdersRequest/Response, GeneratedOrder
  • Strategies: RegisterStrategyRequest/Response, Strategy
  • Monitoring: GetAgentStatusRequest/Response, AgentPerformanceMetrics
• ✅ Enums: InstrumentType, SelectionMode, AllocationType, OrderSide, OrderType, StrategyType, StrategyStatus, AgentState
• ✅ Server streaming: StreamAgentActivity returns stream of AgentActivityEvent

7. Integration Tests

tests/integration_test.rs:

• ✅ 7 smoke tests for proto struct compilation
• ✅ Tests all major request/response types:
  • SelectUniverseRequest/Response
  • HealthCheckRequest/Response
  • SelectAssetsRequest
  • AllocatePortfolioRequest
  • GenerateOrdersRequest
  • RegisterStrategyRequest

🔧 Technical Notes

SQLx Compilation Issue

• ⚠️ Issue: SQLX_OFFLINE=true requires cached queries
• ⚠️ Solution: Run cargo sqlx prepare after implementing database queries
• ⚠️ Workaround: Use SQLX_OFFLINE=false for development

Stub Implementations

• All 18 gRPC methods return valid proto responses
• Database queries are stubbed (universe.rs has full implementation)
• Future agents will replace stubs with production logic

Dependencies

• ✅ Tonic 0.14 (gRPC)
• ✅ SQLx 0.8 (async PostgreSQL)
• ✅ Tokio 1.x (async runtime)
• ✅ Common, config workspace crates
