CLAUDE.md - Foxhunt HFT Trading System Project Instructions

🎉 CODEBASE STATUS: 100% COMPLETE - PRODUCTION DEPLOYED

Last Updated: 2025-01-24 - PRODUCTION COMPLETION ACHIEVED Reality: Sophisticated HFT system fully operational and deployed Status: All integration complete, all services operational, production validated

🚫 CRITICAL ARCHITECTURAL RULES - NEVER VIOLATE THESE

🔒 NON-NEGOTIABLE ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES

1. CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

• ONLY the config crate can access Vault directly
• NO type aliases - use proper imports from config crate
• NO backward compatibility layers
• NO service-specific config - everything through config crate
• Services import: use config::{ServiceConfig, ConfigManager, etc.}
• NEVER create foxhunt-config-crate or any foxhunt- prefixed crates

2. TLI IS A PURE CLIENT

• NO server components in TLI (no WebSocketServer, no HealthServer)
• NO database dependencies in TLI
• NO ML/Risk/Data dependencies in TLI
• TLI only needs: gRPC client libs, terminal UI (ratatui), core types
• TLI connects to 3 services via gRPC: Trading, Backtesting, ML Training

3. SERVICE ARCHITECTURE

• Trading Service: Monolithic with all business logic
• Backtesting Service: Independent strategy testing
• ML Training Service: Model lifecycle management
• TLI: Pure terminal client connecting to services

4. COMPILATION FIXES PATTERNS

• Check for vault_service references that shouldn't exist
• Use ::std::core:: not core:: when local crate shadows std
• Add async-stream = "0.3" to dependencies when needed
• NO direct vault access outside config crate

5. DEPENDENCY MANAGEMENT

• Config crate is the ONLY crate with vault dependencies
• Services depend on config crate, NOT on vault directly
• NO circular dependencies between services
• NO shared state between services except through config

Model Management Architecture (PRODUCTION OPERATIONAL)

Configuration-Driven Model Loading

-- Enhanced PostgreSQL Schema for Model Configuration
-- File: database/schemas/002_model_config.sql
CREATE TABLE model_config (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    model_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    model_type VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    s3_bucket VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    s3_region VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    cache_path VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
    is_active BOOLEAN DEFAULT true
);

CREATE TABLE model_versions (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    model_config_id INTEGER REFERENCES model_config(id),
    version VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    s3_path VARCHAR(500) NOT NULL,
    checksum VARCHAR(64),
    training_date TIMESTAMP,
    performance_metrics JSONB,
    is_current BOOLEAN DEFAULT false
);

-- Hot-reload Support with PostgreSQL NOTIFY/LISTEN
-- Automatic triggers for configuration change notifications
-- Indexed lookups for fast model retrieval by name/version

S3 Integration with Local Caching

// Model Storage Pipeline
config::ModelConfig {
    s3_path: "s3://foxhunt-models/mamba2/v1.2.3/model.safetensors",
    cache_path: "/cache/models/mamba2-v1.2.3.bin",
    metadata: { model_type: "mamba2", performance_metrics: {...} }
}

// Hot-reload on Configuration Changes
POSTGRES PostgreSQL NOTIFY/LISTEN → ConfigManager → Model Cache Invalidation → S3 Download

Version Management with Metadata

// Model Version Tracking
ModelVersion {
    version: "v1.2.3",
    performance_metrics: { accuracy: 0.94, inference_time_ms: 2.1 },
    training_metadata: { dataset_size: 1M, training_duration: "6h" },
    is_current: true,
    checksum: "sha256:abc123..." // Integrity verification
}

Database Methods for Model Management

// New methods in crates/config/src/database.rs
impl PostgresConfigLoader {
    // Model configuration management
    pub async fn get_model_config(&self, model_name: &str) -> ConfigResult<Option<ModelConfig>>
    pub async fn get_model_config_version(&self, model_name: &str, version: &str) -> ConfigResult<Option<ModelConfig>>
    pub async fn list_model_versions(&self, model_config_id: Uuid) -> ConfigResult<Vec<ModelVersion>>
    pub async fn list_active_models(&self) -> ConfigResult<Vec<ModelConfig>>

    // Model lifecycle management
    pub async fn set_model_active(&self, model_name: &str, version: &str, is_active: bool) -> ConfigResult<()>
    pub async fn upsert_model_config(&self, config: &ModelConfig) -> ConfigResult<()>
    pub async fn upsert_model_version(&self, version: &ModelVersion) -> ConfigResult<()>

    // Model loading with cache support
    pub async fn handle_model_load_request(&self, request: &ModelLoadRequest) -> ConfigResult<ModelLoadResponse>
}

Enhanced Configuration Schemas

// Updated crates/config/src/schemas.rs with comprehensive model structures
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::FromRow)]
pub struct ModelConfig {
    pub id: Uuid,
    pub name: String,
    pub version: String,
    pub s3_path: String,
    pub cache_path: Option<String>,
    pub metadata: serde_json::Value,
    pub is_active: bool,
    // ... timestamps and utility methods
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize, sqlx::FromRow)]
pub struct ModelVersion {
    pub id: Uuid,
    pub model_config_id: Uuid,
    pub version: String,
    pub s3_path: String,
    pub performance_metrics: serde_json::Value,
    pub training_metadata: serde_json::Value,
    pub is_current: bool,
    // ... additional fields and methods
}

Service Integration

# ML Training Service: Model Creation & Upload
training → S3 upload → database registry → PostgreSQL NOTIFY

# Trading Service: Model Loading & Inference
NOTIFY → cache invalidation → S3 download → model reload

# Configuration Management: Hot-reload Architecture
NOTIFY → cache invalidation → S3 download → model reload
