+// @dexterm/mcp — the AUTOTRADE chat tools (task-1507 AT-5, AUTOTRADE-SPEC §2a). PAPER ONLY.
+//
+// The analyst (and any MCP agent) changes a strategy ONLY through these seven tools:
+//
+//   strategy_list          observe  ids, names, versions, hashes, mode, last backtest line, pending proposals
+//   strategy_get           observe  one document (+ its exit profiles resolved) and its validation warnings
+//   strategy_validate      observe  {ok, errors[{path,msg}], warnings[]} for a whole document
+//   strategy_propose_edit  propose  JSON-patch ops (<= 20) on a user strategy -> a PROPOSAL, never applied
+//   strategy_propose_new   propose  a new strategy from a preset (+ ops) -> a PROPOSAL, never applied
+//   strategy_backtest      observe  a strategy or a proposal on recorded history (days <= 14), read-only, rate-limited
+//   autotrade_status       observe  the paper runner's status file, strategies and pending proposals
+//
+// A proposal is a file in `$DEXTERM_HOME/strategies/.proposals/`. Nothing in this module writes a strategy:
+// the user applies a proposal on the Q screen with a keypress (a LOOSER one needs a second keypress, the
+// "less safe" popup), and that path re-checks everything here from scratch (`checkProposal`) instead of trusting
+// the stored file. The model deny-list (`STRATEGY_DENIED_FOR_MODELS`) is checked on the document AFTER the ops,
+// so replacing a parent object cannot smuggle a change to `/mode`, `/bankroll`, `/agent/budgetUsdPerDay` or
+// `/execution/minExitLiquidityUsd` past it.
+//
+// @dexterm/autotrade imports @dexterm/mcp (the firewall), so the server loads the engine lazily (`loadEngine`);
+// the CLI hands its own static import to the same functions.
