CLAUDE.md - Foxhunt HFT Trading System

Last Updated: 2025-10-12 (Wave 151 Complete - Backtesting Service Concurrency Bug Fix, 95.5% E2E Pass Rate)

---

🎯 System Overview

Foxhunt is a high-frequency trading system built in Rust with ML/AI-powered decision making. The system uses microservices architecture with gRPC communication, PostgreSQL for persistence, and advanced ML models (MAMBA-2, DQN, PPO, TFT) for trading strategies.

Core Principle: REUSE existing infrastructure. DO NOT rebuild components.

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://foxhunt:foxhunt_dev_password@postgres:5432/foxhunt
REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
VAULT_ADDR=http://vault:8200
VAULT_TOKEN=foxhunt-dev-root
JWT_SECRET=dev_secret_key_change_in_production
RUST_LOG=info
RUST_BACKTRACE=1

Production (use Vault for secrets):

# Load from .env (never commit this file!)
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with production credentials

GPU/CUDA Configuration (ML Inference)

CUDA Environment (RTX 3050 Ti - enabled in Wave 115):

# CUDA environment variables (already in ~/.bashrc)
export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CUDA_HOME/lib64:$CUDA_HOME/targets/x86_64-linux/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$CUDA_HOME/bin:$PATH

# Verify CUDA availability
nvidia-smi  # Check GPU status
nvcc --version  # CUDA compiler version (12.8/12.9/13.0)

ML Crate CUDA Support:

# ml/Cargo.toml (Wave 115: CUDA enabled)
[dependencies]
candle-core = { version = "0.9", features = ["cuda"] }  # GPU acceleration
candle-nn = { version = "0.9" }
candle-optimisers = { version = "0.9" }

[features]
cuda = ["candle-core/cuda", "candle-core/cudnn"]  # Optional for CI/Docker

Usage in Code:

// ml/src/inference.rs
use candle_core::{Device, Tensor};

// GPU device selection (automatic fallback to CPU)
let device = Device::cuda_if_available(0)?;  // Use GPU 0 if available

// Create tensor on GPU
let input = Tensor::new(&[1.0, 2.0, 3.0], &device)?;

// All candle operations automatically use GPU when device is CUDA
let output = model.forward(&input)?;  // Runs on GPU

Testing with GPU:

# Run ML tests (GPU-enabled)
cargo test -p ml --lib

# Slow GPU tests are marked with #[ignore]
cargo test -p ml --lib -- --ignored  # Run slow GPU tests explicitly

# Check GPU utilization during tests
watch -n 1 nvidia-smi  # Monitor GPU usage in real-time

Docker GPU Support (for production):

# docker-compose.yml (add for ML training service)
services:
  ml_training_service:
    runtime: nvidia  # NVIDIA Container Runtime
    environment:
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility

Performance Impact:

• ML inference: CPU → GPU (RTX 3050 Ti)
• Model loading: ~60s (3 models with GPU initialization)
• Inference latency: 10-50x faster for large models
• MAMBA-2, TFT, DQN all GPU-accelerated

Troubleshooting:

# If GPU not detected
nvidia-smi  # Verify GPU visible
nvcc --version  # Verify CUDA installed
echo $CUDA_HOME  # Should be /usr/local/cuda
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH  # Should include CUDA libs

# Rebuild ml crate with CUDA
cargo clean -p ml
cargo build -p ml --features cuda

# Check candle GPU support
cargo test -p ml --lib test_model_loading_multiple_models -- --nocapture

🚫 Critical Architectural Rules

1. Configuration Management

• ONLY the config crate accesses Vault directly
• NO type aliases or backward compatibility layers
• Services import: use config::{ServiceConfig, ConfigManager};
• NEVER create foxhunt-config-crate or foxhunt-* prefixed crates

2. TLI Architecture

• TLI is a PURE CLIENT - NO server components
• NO WebSocketServer, NO HealthServer
• NO database/ML/risk dependencies
• Connects ONLY to API Gateway (port 50051)

3. Service Boundaries

• API Gateway: Server for TLI, client for backend services
• Trading Service: Monolithic business logic
• Backtesting/ML Services: Independent, specialized services
• All inter-service communication via gRPC

4. Error Handling Patterns

// CommonError factory methods (common/src/error.rs)
CommonError::config("message")           // Configuration errors
CommonError::network("message")          // Network errors
CommonError::service(ErrorCategory, "msg") // Service errors
CommonError::validation("message")       // Validation errors
CommonError::internal("message")         // Internal errors

// StorageError variants (storage/src/error.rs)
StorageError::ConfigError { message }    // Config errors
StorageError::IoError { message }        // I/O errors
StorageError::NetworkError { message }   // Network errors
// NO StorageError::Common variant!

5. Configuration Management

Unified Configuration Pattern (Post-Wave 131 Fix):

All services now follow consistent configuration precedence:

CLI_FLAG > ENV_VAR > DEFAULT

ML Training Service (Fixed in Wave 131 Agent 214):

#[derive(Parser, Debug)]
pub struct Config {
    #[clap(long, env = "GRPC_PORT", default_value_t = 50054)]
    pub port: u16,

    #[clap(long, env = "HEALTH_PORT", default_value_t = 8095)]
    pub health_port: u16,

    #[clap(long, env = "PROMETHEUS_PORT", default_value_t = 9094)]
    pub prometheus_port: u16,
}

Example Usage:

# Three equivalent ways (precedence: CLI > ENV > DEFAULT)

# 1. CLI flags (highest priority)
cargo run -p ml_training_service --port 50054 --health-port 8095

# 2. Environment variables
GRPC_PORT=50054 HEALTH_PORT=8095 cargo run -p ml_training_service

# 3. Defaults (from code)
cargo run -p ml_training_service  # Uses 50054, 8095, 9094

Port Validation (Added in Wave 131 Agent 215):

Services now validate port availability at startup with clear error messages:

❌ PORT CONFLICT DETECTED - Cannot start service:
  • Port 50054 (gRPC) already in use: Address already in use

💡 Troubleshooting:
  1. Check running services: lsof -i :PORT
  2. Kill conflicting process: kill -9 PID
  3. Change port via CLI: --port PORT or env var GRPC_PORT

Configuration Anti-Patterns (Eliminated):

❌ NEVER hardcode secrets or ports ❌ NEVER ignore CLI arguments in code ❌ NEVER use inconsistent startup patterns ❌ NEVER fail silently on port conflicts

✅ ALWAYS use clap's env var support ✅ ALWAYS validate configuration at startup ✅ ALWAYS provide clear error messages ✅ ALWAYS document precedence explicitly

6. Common Compilation Fixes

// Use ::std::core:: not core:: when local crate shadows std
use ::std::core::mem;

// Add async-stream when needed
async-stream = "0.3"

// NO direct vault access outside config crate
// ❌ use vault_service::...
// ✅ use config::ConfigManager;

🧪 Testing Infrastructure (REUSE)

See TESTING_PLAN.md for comprehensive testing strategy.

Existing Components

Parquet Market Data Replay:

// data/src/parquet_persistence.rs
let writer = ParquetMarketDataWriter::new(...);
writer.write_event(market_event).await?;

let reader = ParquetMarketDataReader::new(...);
let events = reader.read_file("test.parquet").await?;

Backtesting Service (gRPC):

let client = BacktestingServiceClient::connect("http://localhost:50053").await?;
let response = client.start_backtest(request).await?;

Feature Engineering:

// data/src/training_pipeline.rs
let processor = FeatureProcessor::new(config);
let features = processor.process_batch(&market_data).await?;

Test Database Setup

# 1. Start PostgreSQL
docker-compose up -d postgres

# 2. Run migrations
cargo sqlx migrate run

# 3. Verify schema
psql postgresql://foxhunt:foxhunt_dev_password@localhost:5432/foxhunt -c '\dt'

cargo run -p trading_service &
cargo run -p backtesting_service &
cargo run -p ml_training_service &  # ← NO "serve" subcommand needed!

# With custom ports (using env vars)
GRPC_PORT=50054 cargo run -p ml_training_service &

# With custom ports (using CLI flags)
cargo run -p ml_training_service --port 50054 --health-port 8095 &

Port Validation:

# Services now fail-fast with clear messages if ports unavailable
# Check what's using a port:
lsof -i :50054

# Kill conflicting process:
kill -9 $(lsof -ti:50054)

• ✅ No hardcoded credentials in source
• ✅ API keys from environment variables
• ✅ Docker secrets for production

Production

• Use Vault for all secrets (not environment variables)
• Enable MFA for critical operations
• Rotate JWT secrets regularly
• Use TLS for all gRPC communication
• Enable audit logging (ENABLE_AUDIT_LOGGING=true)

Current Vulnerabilities

🐛 Anti-Workaround Protocol

FORBIDDEN Approaches

❌ NEVER create stubs or placeholders ❌ NEVER create fallback/compatibility layers ❌ NEVER skip features to avoid fixing them ❌ NEVER estimate when you can measure

REQUIRED Approaches

✅ ALWAYS fix root causes ✅ ALWAYS proper rewrites, not simplifications ✅ ALWAYS complete implementations ✅ ALWAYS reuse existing infrastructure

Examples

Bad:

// ❌ Stub implementation
pub fn read_file(&self, filename: &str) -> Result<Vec<MarketDataEvent>> {
    warn!("Not implemented yet");
    Ok(Vec::new())
}

Good:

// ✅ Complete implementation
pub async fn read_file(&self, filename: &str) -> Result<Vec<MarketDataEvent>> {
    let file = tokio::fs::File::open(filepath).await?;
    let builder = ParquetRecordBatchReaderBuilder::try_new(file).await?;
    // ... full Arrow-based Parquet reading
}
