"""Flask backend for IB dashboard.
Provides simple REST endpoints that the vanilla-JS frontend polls:
- GET /api/quotes -> latest market quotes
- GET /api/positions -> latest positions
- POST /api/subscribe { symbols: ["AAPL","MSFT"] } -> start subscribing
This app expects an IB Gateway or TWS running locally on port 7496.
