jgrusewski 8b81138262 docs: rewrite outdated READMEs and add web-gateway docs
Rewrite 7 crate READMEs to reflect current architecture: correct
model types (DQN/PPO/TFT/Mamba2), AtomicKillSwitch, real
EnsembleConfig source from ml, actual data crate purpose,
web-dashboard project details, ml_training_service ports.

Fix 5 api_gateway/TLI docs: strip swarm agent framing, update
service endpoints to api_gateway:50050, remove deleted dashboard
references and hardcoded paths.

Add missing web-gateway/README.md documenting 24 REST endpoints,
WebSocket support, JWT auth, and 3-tier rate limiting.

web-gateway

REST and WebSocket gateway for the Foxhunt web dashboard. Built with Axum 0.7.9, it proxies HTTP requests to backend gRPC services and bridges gRPC streams to WebSocket clients.

Configuration

All settings are read from environment variables.

Variable Default Description
GATEWAY_LISTEN_ADDR 0.0.0.0:3000 HTTP listen address
JWT_SECRET (required, min 32 chars) HMAC key for JWT validation
CORS_ORIGINS http://localhost:5173 Comma-separated allowed origins
TRADING_SERVICE_URL https://localhost:50051 Trading gRPC upstream
BACKTESTING_SERVICE_URL https://localhost:50052 Backtesting gRPC upstream
ML_TRAINING_SERVICE_URL https://localhost:50053 ML training gRPC upstream

Routes

All API routes are under /api. Authentication is required unless noted.

Tier Rate Limit Endpoints
Public 10 req/min POST /api/auth/login
Trading 200 req/min /api/trading/*, /api/risk/*, /api/ml/*, /api/performance/*, /api/config/*
Compute 30 req/min /api/training/*, /api/backtest/*, /api/tune/*
WebSocket 50 msg/min GET /api/ws (JWT via token query param)
Health none GET /health, GET /ready

Security

  • JWT authentication middleware (32-character minimum secret enforced at startup)
  • Per-IP rate limiting across three tiers
  • 1 MB request body size limit
  • CORS with explicit methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and headers (Authorization, Content-Type)
  • Response headers: HSTS, x-frame-options: DENY, x-content-type-options: nosniff, referrer-policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin
  • WebSocket topic whitelist (8 valid topics), per-connection rate limit, max 20 subscriptions
  • X-Request-Id propagation (generated if absent, echoed on response)

Modules

Module Purpose
auth JWT validation and login handler
config GatewayConfig loaded from environment
error Unified error types and HTTP error responses
grpc Tonic clients and gRPC stream bridges
rate_limit Per-IP token-bucket rate limiter (3 tiers)
routes Axum router construction and all HTTP handlers
state AppState (gRPC channels, WS broadcast, config)
ws WebSocket upgrade, topic subscriptions, keepalive

Running

export JWT_SECRET="your-secret-at-least-32-characters-long"
cargo run -p web-gateway
