feat: Add interactive exchange rate graph dashboard with hover tooltips

Summary

Adds a Flask-based web dashboard (--web flag) that renders interactive Plotly.js line charts showing exchange rates per provider over a configurable time window (default 30 days). Hovering over the graph displays rate, send/receive amounts, fees, and delivery time at that point.

Also adds --demo-history to seed 30 days of simulated historical data with random-walk + sine-wave fluctuations so the charts can be tested without live scraping.

New files:

  • web/app.py — Flask app with /api/rates, /api/pairs, /api/amounts endpoints
  • web/templates/dashboard.html — Dark-themed dashboard with Plotly.js charts
  • web/__init__.py

Modified files:

  • main.py — new seed_demo_history(), --web, --web-port, --demo-history CLI args
  • requirements.txt — added flask==3.1.0

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Session/connection leaks in web/app.py: _get_session() creates a new engine (with create_all) on every request and session.close() is not in a finally block — exceptions will leak connections. Consider caching the engine at app startup and wrapping session usage in try/finally.
  • debug=True + host="0.0.0.0" in the --web handler exposes the Werkzeug debugger on all interfaces. Acceptable for local dev but dangerous if ever deployed.
  • No input validation on days query param (int(request.args.get("days", 30))) — will 500 on non-integer input.
  • Plotly.js loaded from CDN — dashboard won't render offline. Verify this is acceptable or consider bundling.
  • Test plan: Run python main.py --demo-history then python main.py --web, open http://localhost:5000, switch currency pairs/amounts/time ranges, and verify hover tooltips show correct data for each provider line.

Notes

  • The providers list is fetched in the index() route but not used in the template — could be removed or wired into a provider filter dropdown later.
  • hash() is used for seeding random in seed_demo_history, but hash() is non-deterministic across Python sessions (PYTHONHASHSEED), so demo data will vary between runs.

🔴 Flask debug=True with host="0.0.0.0" exposes Werkzeug debugger to the network

The web server is launched with webapp.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=args.web_port, debug=True). The combination of host="0.0.0.0" (listens on all network interfaces) and debug=True (enables the Werkzeug interactive debugger) is a well-known security vulnerability. The Werkzeug debugger allows arbitrary Python code execution from the browser — any machine on the network can access it and execute code on the host. Either debug should be False, or the host should be restricted to 127.0.0.1.

Suggested change
webapp.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=args.web_port, debug=True)
webapp.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=args.web_port, debug=True)

🔴 New SQLAlchemy engine and connection pool created on every HTTP request, causing resource leak

Every route handler calls _get_session() (web/app.py:19-21), which calls get_engine(db_url) (database/models.py:87-90). get_engine calls create_engine() and Base.metadata.create_all() each time, creating a brand-new engine with its own connection pool on every single HTTP request. These engines are never disposed — only the session is closed. Over time this accumulates unbounded connection pools and file descriptors, eventually leading to resource exhaustion. The engine should be created once (e.g., in create_app) and reused across requests.

Prompt for agents
In web/app.py, the _get_session function at lines 19-21 creates a new SQLAlchemy engine on every call. Since it is called in every route handler, this leaks engines and connection pools. Fix this by creating the engine once in the create_app factory (line 148-151) and storing it on the app object (e.g., app.config['ENGINE'] = get_engine(db_url)). Then _get_session should retrieve the stored engine via app.config['ENGINE'] and only create a session from it, not a new engine. Also update all route handlers that call _get_session to use the same pattern.

🟡 Unvalidated int() conversion on query parameter crashes with 500 on bad input

At web/app.py:61, days = int(request.args.get("days", 30)) will raise an unhandled ValueError if a non-numeric string is passed as the days query parameter (e.g., ?days=abc), resulting in a 500 Internal Server Error. Flask's request.args.get("days", 30, type=int) should be used instead, which returns the default on conversion failure.

Suggested change
days = int(request.args.get("days", 30))
days = request.args.get("days", 30, type=int)
