What

A third cotdata price provider (after Norgate/databento) — Yahoo Finance — for markets those don't cover, plus the MSCI EM / EAFE held-out markets it unlocks.

  • Registry Symbol gains an optional yahoo ticker; providers/yfinance.py fetches Yahoo OHLCV and writes the store's standard Open/High/Low/Close/Volume + Date-index shape. ETF/spot proxies have no roll, so backadj == unadj. CLI: --prices-yahoo.
  • Adds MME (MSCI Emerging Markets → EEM) and MFS (MSCI EAFE → EFA): the liquid, out-of-selection equity indices for a clean generalization test. COT is the real ICE futures positioning; price is the ETF proxy (no roll gaps). ~15y COT + deep ETF history each.

Why

These are the only liquid, out-of-selection, CFTC-reported markets available, and Norgate/databento don't cover them. They flipped the generalization read from "confounded no-edge" (illiquid markets) to +0.66R / PF 1.52, both markets positive — suggestive that the edge travels, just underpowered at n=36.

Caveat (by design)

Research-grade. Yahoo is free/unofficial — gaps, silent revisions, and the scraper breaks when Yahoo changes their site. Not a production replacement for Norgate. ETF-as-index-proxy is an approximation (COT on futures, price on the tracking ETF).

Tests

Hermetic provider tests (mock download + write_prices — no network, no store writes): normalization of Yahoo's MultiIndex frame, both adjustments written, skip-without-ticker, empty→failure. Golden registry tests bumped 47→49 / Equities 6→8 / checksum. 58 passed.

A third price provider (after Norgate/databento) for markets those don't cover.
Registry Symbol gains an optional `yahoo` ticker; `providers/yfinance.py` fetches
Yahoo OHLCV and writes the store's standard Open/High/Low/Close/Volume + Date-index
shape (ETF/spot proxies have no roll, so backadj == unadj). CLI: --prices-yahoo.
Research-grade (Yahoo is free/unofficial — gaps/revisions/API breakage possible).

Adds MSCI Emerging Markets (MME → EEM) and MSCI EAFE (MFS → EFA): the liquid,
out-of-selection equity indices needed for a clean generalization test — COT is the
real ICE futures positioning, price is the ETF proxy (no roll gaps). ~15y COT + deep
ETF history each.

The provider tests imported the real yfinance, which isn't installed in CI (it's an
optional dep). Inject a fake yfinance module into sys.modules instead, so the tests
run without the package. Declare yfinance as the [yahoo] optional extra (matching
norgate/databento).

* docs: fix dangling doc refs and backfill CHANGELOG

The docs/plan_promote_reconstructed_volume.md spec was removed in #15 but was
still referenced from config.py, store.py (a user-facing RuntimeError), and
README.md — each a dead pointer. Drop the references; the surrounding text and
the README reconstructed-volume section already explain the schema-v2 behavior.

Backfill the Unreleased CHANGELOG, which had only #23: add the Yahoo provider +
MSCI held-out markets (#24), fold #26 into the propadj entry, and record the
metadata-upsert (#25) and Yahoo-only-skip (#27) fixes.

* chore: commit uv.lock for reproducible installs

uv.lock was neither tracked nor ignored, so it perpetually showed as untracked.
The README promotes the uv workflow (`uv pip install -e .`), so track the lock
for reproducible resolution. Verified current with `uv lock --check`.

* test: cover dormant databento provider and COT read API

The largest provider (databento, 280 LOC) had no tests and cot.py's consumer
read path was untested. Add:

- test_databento_provider.py — smoke tests mocking the databento SDK (an optional
  extra) that lock the hard-won statistics parsing: Open Interest from stat_type 9,
  and settlement (stat_type 3) overriding Close dated by ts_ref.
- test_cot.py — get_cot report dispatch, symbol/CFTC-code lookup, and the
  predecessor-code stitching (scale numeric cols, re-stamp code, keep primary on
  overlapping dates, sort).

* fix(prices): fail fast on Norgate outage; drop null metadata rows

Two producer reliability fixes for the Norgate path.

1. Preflight NDU reachability. norgatedata retries each data call 10x then calls
   bare sys.exit() — which exits 0 (a scheduled --prices run looks "successful"
   while writing nothing and never triggers scheduler retry) and raises SystemExit
   past the per-symbol `except Exception`, killing the run on the first symbol.
   update()/update_metadata() now probe norgatedata.status() (a safe, non-exiting
   check) first and raise a clear RuntimeError → non-zero exit if NDU is down.

2. Guard all-null metadata rows. get_symbol_metadata catches each field error to
   None, so a transient Norgate failure on a covered symbol wrote an all-null spec
   row (and on a scoped upsert would overwrite good specs with nulls). Skip such
   rows with a warning.

Tests: preflight aborts update()/update_metadata() when status() is False; the
all-null row is skipped on a full run. Full suite 81 passed.
