  5. Scale to 0-100 range: proba * 100

SCORE INTERPRETATION:
  0-30:   Weak signal - Avoid/Sell
  30-50:  Neutral - Hold
  50-70:  Positive signal - Consider buying
  70-100: Strong signal - Buy recommendation

TRAINING:

  → Check cache key: "recommendation:top10:latest"
  → If found: Return cached result immediately

Step 2: DATA FETCHING (1-3 seconds)
  → For each stock symbol (600000, 600031, 601988, 601398):
    ├─ Check if TuShare token available
    ├─ Try TuShare API with format conversion (600000 → 600000.SH)
    ├─ Fallback to yfinance with format conversion (600000 → 600000.SS)
    └─ Aggregate into {symbol: DataFrame} dict

Step 3: FEATURE ENGINEERING (0.5 seconds)
  → For each stock OHLCV DataFrame:
    ├─ engineer_features() → Generate 33 indicators
    ├─ Extract latest row (most recent trading day)
    ├─ Select 33 feature columns (exclude OHLCV)
    └─ Create numpy array [1, 33] for ML input

Step 4: ML PREDICTION (0.3 seconds)
  → For each stock feature array:
    ├─ model.predict_scores(X)
    ├─ Get binary probability [0-1]
    ├─ Scale to 0-100 range
    └─ Store as recommendation score

Step 5: METADATA RETRIEVAL (cached)
  → For each stock:
    ├─ get_realtime_quote() → Current price (cached 60s)
    ├─ fetch_fundamentals() → PE, PB, market cap (cached 1h)
    └─ Combine with score into recommendation object

Step 6: RANKING & SELECTION (0.2 seconds)
  → select_top_recommendations(scores, metadata, n=10)
    ├─ Sort stocks by score (descending)
    ├─ Select top 10
    └─ Format as list of recommendation dicts

Step 7: LLM EXPLANATION (2-3 seconds, optional)
  → generate_recommendation_explanation(top_5, market_context)
    ├─ Format prompt with top 5 recommendations
    ├─ Call Claude API via OpenRouter
    ├─ Get narrative explanation in Chinese
    └─ Cache result for 1 hour

Step 8: RESPONSE CACHING (0.1 seconds)
  → cache.set("recommendation:top10:latest", result, ttl=60)

Step 9: RETURN RESPONSE
  → JSON with:
    ├─ timestamp
    ├─ recommendations (list of 10)
    ├─ market_context (sentiment data)
    └─ explanation (LLM text)

TOTAL TIME:

================================================================================
10. DATA QUALITY & VALIDATION
================================================================================

INPUT VALIDATION:
  ✓ Required columns: [Open, High, Low, Close, Volume]
  ✓ Type conversion: float for prices, int for volume
  ✓ Positive values: Volume > 0, Close > 0
  ✓ Logical consistency: High >= Low, Close within High-Low

FEATURE VALIDATION:
  ✓ NaN handling: Filled with 0 before ML input
  ✓ Division safety: Epsilon (1e-6) added to denominators
  ✓ Rolling window: min_periods set appropriately
  ✓ Normalization: StandardScaler ensures valid range

ERROR HANDLING:
  - Try-except on all API calls
  - Continues processing on individual stock failures
  - Graceful fallbacks (TuShare → yfinance → mock data)
  - Detailed error logging with context

FALLBACK CHAIN:
  Data:
    TuShare (Chinese) → yfinance (global) → mock data (demo)
  
  Fundamentals:
    TuShare → yfinance → default values
  
  Quotes:
    yfinance → cached values

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS:
  1. Implement proper model training pipeline
  2. Add comprehensive logging and monitoring
