`LangAlpha`: domain-specific agent harness for persistent research

The reusable part is not finance UI but the agent architecture: compile MCP schemas into importable Python modules and keep research state in a persistent workspace. Useful signal if you're building vertical agents where context cost and cross-session memory break generic chat UX.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. MCP schema bloat is the first bottleneck: tool definitions alone can cost 50k+ tokens, so they generate typed Python modules at init and keep only a one-line server summary in prompt.
  2. Tool count stops mattering once the agent imports local wrappers like a normal library; they claim roughly 80 tools with similar prompt cost whether a server exposes 3 or 30 tools.
  3. Each research goal gets its own persistent sandbox, memory file, and file index, then that state is reloaded before every LLM call. This fixes the usual 'start over next session' failure mode.
  4. The stronger wedge is vertical context injection: portfolio, watchlist, risk tolerance, and data sources travel with every call. Same pattern fits SaaS ops, growth, or support agents.
