Research provenance now rides with the debate state, cache metadata, live payloads, and trace dumps so degraded research no longer masquerades as a normal sample. Bull/Bear/Manager nodes also return explicit guarded fallbacks on timeout or exception, which gives the graph a real node budget boundary without rewriting the bull/bear output shape or removing debate.\n\nConstraint: Must preserve bull/bear debate structure and output shape while adding provenance and node guards\nRejected: Skip bull/bear debate in compact mode | would trade away analysis quality before A/B evidence exists\nConfidence: high\nScope-risk: moderate\nReversibility: clean\nDirective: Treat research_status and data_quality as rollout gates; do not collapse degraded research back into normal success samples\nTested: python -m pytest tradingagents/tests/test_research_guard.py orchestrator/tests/test_llm_runner.py orchestrator/tests/test_live_mode.py web_dashboard/backend/tests/test_executors.py web_dashboard/backend/tests/test_services_migration.py web_dashboard/backend/tests/test_api_smoke.py -q; python -m compileall tradingagents/graph/setup.py tradingagents/agents/utils/agent_states.py tradingagents/graph/propagation.py orchestrator/llm_runner.py orchestrator/live_mode.py orchestrator/profile_stage_chain.py; python orchestrator/profile_stage_chain.py --ticker 600519.SS --date 2026-04-10 --provider anthropic --model MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed --base-url https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic --selected-analysts market --analysis-prompt-style compact --timeout 45 --max-retries 0 --overall-timeout 120 --dump-raw-on-failure\nNot-tested: Full successful live-provider completion through Portfolio Manager after the post-research connection failure
The previous hardening pass still dropped source diagnostics and data-quality context once live-mode serialized a dual-lane failure. Keep those fields when a structured CombinedSignalFailure reaches the websocket layer so consumers can distinguish provider mismatch, stale data, and other degraded cases even when no final signal exists.
Constraint: Follow-on fix after 63858bf should stay minimal and not reopen unrelated executor/calendar work
Rejected: Fold this into a larger amend of the prior commit | history is already shared and the delta is a single behavioral correction
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When failure exceptions carry structured diagnostics, live serializers must preserve them instead of flattening to a generic message

Team execution produced recoverable commits for market-holiday handling, live websocket contracts, regression coverage, and the remaining frontend contract-view polish. Recover those changes into main without waiting for terminal team shutdown, preserving the verified payload semantics while avoiding the worker auto-checkpoint noise.
Constraint: Team workers were still in progress, so recovery had to avoid destructive shutdown and ignore the worker-3 uv.lock churn
Rejected: Wait for terminal shutdown before recovery | unnecessary delay once commits were already recoverable and verified
Rejected: Cherry-pick worker-3 checkpoint wholesale | would import unrelated uv.lock churn into main
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Treat team INTEGRATED mailbox messages as hints only; always inspect snapshot refs/worktrees before claiming the leader actually merged code
