ORE Studio Sprint 21 – Release Notes

• Commission: country: Commission country across all access layers: verify the Qt UI end-to-end post-NATS migration, verify existing shell and CLI commands, fix any regressions found, and add the entity chapter to the user manual.
• Consistent synthetic market data generation: approach analysis: Establish a documented, developer-ready approach for generating a single consistent synthetic market data environment that covers all ORE-supported asset classes, can price all products in the ORE Examples suite, and can be evolved through time in a way that maintains cross-asset consistency.
• PoC: synthetic market data generation — FX spot vertical slice: Validate the approach developed in the sprint-21 analysis story by building a working vertical PoC limited to FX spot.
• Synthetic generation configuration and config-driven feeds: Replace the PoC's transient, boot-time, system-tenant generation with a proper producer: a persisted synthetic generation config in ores.synthetic that a user authors, and a service that generates from it autonomously and publishes on its own namespaced channel — stamping the config's tenant and source name so the data is correctly owned and traceable.
• Config-driven synthetic feed generation (per-config series, lifecycle): A user can configure any FX spot rate in the Market Simulator and start a feed for it that generates correct, isolated synthetic market data — not just the single hard-wired EUR/USD PoC feed.
• Market data feed binding, ingestion and official stream: Make ores.marketdata the authority: a source-agnostic feed-config binding records which producer channel feeds each official series; an ingest loop subscribes to the bound producer channels, persists observations (tenant + source) and remaps them to the official tenant-scoped stream consumers use.
• Source-agnostic market data control panel: A generic Qt control panel to manage market data feeds — list, start/stop, monitor — driven by the feed-config registry and a source-agnostic control contract, with no knowledge of what produces each feed.
• Hotfix: market_fixing entity carries audit columns absent from lean SQL schema: Restore the marketdata repository test suite by trimming market_fixing's domain type, entity, mapper, generator, json_io, handler and service down to the columns that actually exist on ores_marketdata_market_fixings_tbl — the table intentionally has no audit trail (version, modified_by, performed_by, change_reason_code, change_commentary) because fixing volume makes per-row audit impractical.

• Refactor ores.codegen: merge generator.py into codegen/ package: Eliminate the structural coupling between codegen/generate.py and the top-level generator.py monolith.

• Open sprint 21: Scaffold sprint 21, move all 24 postponed stories from sprint_20/ to sprint_21/ (updating filetags and parent sprint references), wire the sprint into the version manifest and agile index, and update the vcpkg submodule to latest master.
• Knowledge graph housekeeping: Keep the org-roam knowledge graph navigable and internally consistent.
• Fix readme badges: readme.org badges are correct: Sprint badge shows the current sprint, PRs badge does not show a shields.io error.

• Accumulate face dataset: Build the external/facestudio/ seed catalog; fix accumulation script; wire into seeder.
• Fix compass review workflow for Claude-based code reviews: Restore the compass PR review round workflow after the switch from Gemini to Claude as the automated code reviewer.
• Compass environment improvements: port auto-assignment and fleet env-type display: Improve compass env provision so it never collides with existing environments by scanning all ores_dev_* directories and picking the next available base port.
• Environment provisioning overhaul: GCP-style naming, genesis env, light env type, direct-emacs compass commands, env type through the stack, bootstrap docs.
• Hotfix: sccache wrapper breaks Windows builds: Restore green Windows CI by ensuring sccache_wrapper.sh is only used as a compiler launcher on platforms that can execute POSIX shell scripts.
• Hotfix: base32 alphabet uses string-literal paren-init rejected by Apple libc++: macOS CI compiles ores.utility without error.
• Hotfix: macOS debug CPack packaging fails with Xcode 16 strip regression: Restore the macOS debug CI build after it started failing during CPack Bundle packaging when Xcode 16 was selected (PR #1325).
• Fix Qt party_type build: request.type renamed to code/codes: Restore the ores.qt.party.lib build after the party_type messaging codegen sync renamed request fields, by updating the Qt party_type consumers to the new field names.

Dual-axis bar chart. PRs (left axis) and commits (right axis) per day. A high commits-to-PR ratio may indicate scope creep.

Lines added (green) and deleted (red) per day. Building work produces mostly additions; refactoring produces a mix.

Hours from PR open to merge, one bar per PR. Long bars indicate review bottlenecks.

Line chart tracking stories marked DONE during the sprint. Steady upward slope is healthy; plateauing signals a stall.
