Gahow Wang e55c4ffbdb Restart the Gateway when its historical data farm stops serving
On 2026-10-12 the Gateway answered account requests but every bar request
timed out from 09:50 to 10:24 ET: make gateway reported OK, so the Gateway was
never restarted, and six retries 5 minutes apart gave up after 35 minutes. The
data came back only with the Gateway's daily restart.

ibkr-quant gateway --history also requires SPY daily bars within 30 s; the
trade job's ExecStartPre passes it, so ensure-gateway.sh restarts a Gateway
whose data farm is down. The trade job now retries every 10 minutes until
about 15:30 ET (34 starts in 6 h) instead of giving up after 35 minutes.

Makefile

# Needs IB Gateway or TWS running and logged in, with
# "Enable ActiveX and Socket Clients" on and the port matching config.toml.
# Daily flow, 09:31-15:45 ET on a trading day: `make bars` (picks up today's
# open), `make plan` to review, `make submit` to send MOC orders filled at the close.
# Only rebalance sessions (every strategy.rebalance_every from strategy.anchor)
# trade; on other days plan and submit say so and do nothing.
# With delayed data (market_data_type = 3) today's bar appears ~15 min after the
# open, so start after 09:47 ET.
