Lab Path Implementation

Implements the lab-path spec defined in docs/SPEC-lab-path.md — the experimental browserless WebSocket track for TradingView data access.

Features Added (Lab-1 through Lab-4)

# Feature MCP Tool CLI Command Status
Lab-1 Historical OHLCV bars experimental_get_bars tradingview-cli experimental bars
Lab-2 Bounded quote streaming experimental_stream_quotes tradingview-cli experimental stream-quotes
Lab-3 Bounded bar streaming experimental_stream_bars tradingview-cli experimental stream-bars
Lab-4 WebSocket/session adapter layer src/ws/* (7 modules) Internal

Architecture

src/ws/
  types.ts       — Bar, Quote, WsConfig, Timeframe, QuoteField types
  errors.ts      — TvWsError, ConnectionError, AuthError, SymbolError, TimeoutError
  auth.ts        — isExperimentalEnabled(), getAuthToken(), getWsConfig()
  protocol.ts    — encodePacket(), decodePacket(), createPong(), 15+ message builders
  parser.ts      — parseBarData(), parseQuoteData(), normalizeTime(), message detectors
  client.ts      — TvWsClient (EventEmitter-based WebSocket client with session dispatch)
  session.ts     — ChartSession (bar data) + QuoteSession (price data) managers
  index.ts       — Module barrel export
src/tools/
  bars.ts        — getBars() tool with validation, connection lifecycle, error mapping
  stream.ts      — streamQuotes() + streamBars() with bounded duration collection

Spec Verification

Lab-1 experimental_get_bars

  • ✅ Input matches spec: symbol, timeframe, limit, extended_session
  • ✅ Output matches spec: symbol, timeframe, count, bars[], source="experimental_tradingview_ws"
  • ✅ Bars sorted ascending by time
  • ✅ Bounded output (default 300, max 5000)
  • ✅ Fails clearly on auth/symbol errors

Lab-2 experimental_stream_quotes

  • ✅ Input matches spec: symbols[], fields[], duration_seconds
  • ✅ Output matches spec: duration_seconds, updates[]
  • ✅ Bounded duration (default 10s, max 60s)
  • ✅ Returns cleanly even with zero updates
  • ✅ Avoids indefinite streams for MCP

Lab-3 experimental_stream_bars

  • ✅ Input matches spec: symbol, timeframe, duration_seconds, mode
  • ✅ Output matches spec: symbol, timeframe, mode, events[]
  • ✅ Supports rolling and close_only modes
  • ✅ Bounded event collection (default 30s, max 120s)

Lab-4 WebSocket/session adapter

  • ✅ Protocol encoding/decoding (~m~<len>~m~<payload> framing)
  • ✅ Ping/pong handling
  • ✅ Session management (chart + quote sessions)
  • ✅ Bar data parsing with deduplication and ascending sort
  • ✅ Quote data parsing from qsd messages
  • ✅ Error hierarchy (TvWsError → ConnectionError, AuthError, SymbolError, TimeoutError)
  • ✅ Environment-gated access (TV_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLED=1)

Experimental Boundary

  • All tools prefixed with experimental_
  • CLI under experimental subcommand namespace
  • Requires TV_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLED=1 environment variable
  • Clearly labeled docs and help text with instability warnings

Tests

  • ✅ 213 tests all passing
  • ✅ 31 new tests: protocol (19), parser (14), bars (8), stream (4)
  • ✅ All parser/session modules testable without live TradingView connection

Fix Applied

  • Added missing ws + @types/ws dependencies (build was failing)
  • Added docs/SPEC-lab-path.md as source of truth

bearmug added 3 commits April 11, 2026 01:25
- Add src/ws/ module: types, errors, protocol, auth, client, session, parser
- Add src/tools/bars.ts: experimental_get_bars tool
- Add src/tools/stream.ts: experimental_stream_quotes and experimental_stream_bars tools
- Wire experimental tools into MCP server (gated by TV_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLED)
- Wire experimental CLI commands: experimental bars, stream-quotes, stream-bars
- Add CLI help text and argument parsing for experimental commands
- Add tests: ws-protocol, ws-parser, bars, stream
- Add ws and jszip dependencies
- Update CLAUDE.md with experimental tools and WebSocket architecture

All experimental tools require TV_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLED=1 to activate.
The WebSocket module uses TradingView's undocumented socket.io protocol.
Tools connect to wss://data.tradingview.com/socket.io/websocket,
create chart/quote sessions, and collect bounded data.
- Add ws and @types/ws as dependencies
- Add docs/SPEC-lab-path.md as source of truth
- Remove docs/SPEC-lab-path.md (moved to separate planning repo)

feat(lab):
- Add src/tests/integration/lab-tools.test.ts with 18 tests covering:
  - Lab-1: experimental_get_bars interface
  - Lab-2: streamQuotes validation
  - Lab-3: streamBars validation and live WS streaming
  - Lab-4: ws adapter layer (parser, protocol, auth, errors, types, module exports)
- Add test:integration script to package.json
- Add experimental lab feature section and commands
- Document experimental env vars and CLI usage
- Expand MCP tools table to include experimental WebSocket tools
- Update development instructions with lab integration test command
