Yaojia Wang 87260f4b10 feat: add 67 new endpoints across 10 feature groups
Prerequisite refactor:
- Consolidate duplicate _to_dicts into shared obb_utils.to_list
- Add fetch_historical and first_or_empty helpers to obb_utils

Phase 1 - Local computation (no provider risk):
- Group I: 12 technical indicators (ATR, ADX, Stoch, OBV, Ichimoku,
  Donchian, Aroon, CCI, Keltner, Fibonacci, A/D, Volatility Cones)
- Group J: Sortino, Omega ratios + rolling stats (variance, stdev,
  mean, skew, kurtosis, quantile via generic endpoint)
- Group H: ECB currency reference rates

Phase 2 - FRED/Federal Reserve providers:
- Group C: 10 fixed income endpoints (treasury rates, yield curve,
  auctions, TIPS, EFFR, SOFR, HQM, commercial paper, spot rates,
  spreads)
- Group D: 11 economy endpoints (CPI, GDP, unemployment, PCE, money
  measures, CLI, HPI, FRED search, balance of payments, Fed holdings,
  FOMC documents)
- Group E: 5 survey endpoints (Michigan, SLOOS, NFP, Empire State,
  BLS search)

Phase 3 - SEC/stockgrid/FINRA providers:
- Group B: 4 equity fundamental endpoints (management, dividends,
  SEC filings, company search)
- Group A: 4 shorts/dark pool endpoints (short volume, FTD, short
  interest, OTC dark pool)
- Group F: 3 index/ETF enhanced (S&P 500 multiples, index
  constituents, ETF N-PORT)

Phase 4 - Regulators:
- Group G: 5 regulatory endpoints (COT report, COT search, SEC
  litigation, institution search, CIK mapping)

Security hardening:
- Service-layer allowlists for all getattr dynamic dispatch
- Regex validation on date, country, security_type, form_type params
- Exception handling in fetch_historical
- Callable guard on rolling stat dispatch

Total: 32 existing + 67 new = 99 endpoints, all free providers.

# Research Findings
## Architecture Analysis (2026-03-19)
### Current Codebase
- 22 Python files, flat layout, all under 250 lines
- Pattern: service file (async OpenBB wrapper) + route file (FastAPI router with @safe decorator)
- Shared utils: obb_utils.py, route_utils.py, mappers.py, models.py
### Technical Debt
1. Duplicated `_to_dicts` in openbb_service.py and macro_service.py (same as obb_utils.to_list)
2. calendar_service.py has scope creep (ownership, screening mixed with calendar events)
3. No shared `fetch_historical` helper (duplicated in technical_service.py and quantitative_service.py)
### Provider Availability (Verified)
- **No API key needed:** yfinance, stockgrid, finra, multpl, cftc, government_us, sec, ecb, cboe
- **Already configured:** fred, finnhub, alphavantage
- **Not needed:** fmp (removed), intrinio, tiingo, benzinga
### Key Design Decisions
- Keep flat file layout (avoid breaking all imports for ~40 files)
- Domain-prefixed naming for new files
- Generic technical indicator dispatcher pattern for 14 new indicators
- Consolidate _to_dicts before adding new services
### OpenBB Features Discovered
- 67 new endpoints across 10 groups (A-J)
- 3 Small, 4 Medium, 3 Large complexity groups
- All use free providers (no new API keys required)
