src/quant_research_starter/frontend/cauweb/src/pages/Watchlists.tsx

+    }
+    setLoading(true);
+    try {
+      await api.createWatchlist({ name });


The createWatchlist API call is incorrectly passing the name as an object property in the request body, but the api.ts function expects a plain string parameter. This will cause the API call to fail. The function signature expects createWatchlist(name: string) but is being called with an object.

+      return;
+    }
+    try {
+      await api.addToWatchlist(selectedList.id, { symbol: symbol.toUpperCase() });


The addToWatchlist API call is passing the symbol as an object, but according to the api.ts function signature, it expects addToWatchlist(id: number, symbol: string) - a plain string for the symbol parameter, not an object. This inconsistency will cause the API call to fail.

start.ps1

+Write-Host ""
+
+# Check if we're in the right directory
+$projectRoot = "c:\Users\PRAJWAL\OneDrive\Desktop\quantresearch\QuantResearch"


Hardcoded absolute path to a specific user directory. This script will only work on the developer's machine (PRAJWAL). Use a relative path or detect the project root dynamically to make this portable across different environments and users.

src/quant_research_starter/frontend/cauweb/src/pages/SystemStatus.tsx

+
+        <div style={{ padding: '1rem', background: 'var(--black)', borderRadius: '6px', border: '1px solid var(--border)' }}>
+          <div style={{ fontFamily: 'monospace', fontSize: '0.875rem' }}>
+            <div>Frontend URL: http://localhost:3006</div>


The port number in the SystemStatus component is incorrect. The code checks http://localhost:3006 in the diagnostic display (line 77), but the actual frontend runs on port 3003 as shown in the component itself and in the start.ps1 script. This will confuse users during troubleshooting.
