🔔 Price alerts that survive restarts

You:  "Alert me if RELIANCE drops below ₹1,270"        → stored server-side (Postgres)
      ...
Bot:  "PRICE ALERT FIRED — RELIANCE.NS moved below 1270.00, now at 1268.20"

Alerts are one-shot, persist across server restarts, and pair with a scheduled Claude task that checks hourly during market hours and pushes to your phone. Setup in docs/price-alerts.md.

🎯 Why this instead of a stock screener?

1. It answers the trading question, not just the data question. Indicators tell you RSI is 43. build_trade_plan tells you entry, stop, how many shares, and where your thesis dies — sized to your account.
2. India is a first-class citizen. NSE tickers, NIFTY benchmarking, 8 Indian sector indices, ₹ formatting. Not a US tool with .NS bolted on.
3. The numbers are audited. Every calculation was adversarially tested against textbook references and live data — 161 automated tests pin the math, including regression tests for 11 real bugs found and fixed along the way. See docs/architecture.md.
4. Honest about its data. Delayed quotes are labeled with timestamps. Stale feeds are flagged, not hidden. FX limitations are disclosed, not papered over.
