Blockers
- None at Phase 0. Seven cluster nodes unreachable (m2m16, M2M32, M2M32b, M4M36, m4ma, m4mb, m4mc): E7 reports them as not tested unless they come back.
Next safe action
Phase 2: FinData client (C++ libcurl: catalog, bars Arrow pages, exports with polling/download, provenance, cache,
token bucket, retries), raid data CLI, offline tests with a recorded OpenAPI/fixture server, opt-in live tests
(RAID_LIVE=1), aggregate-vs-FinData-5m check.
