Use `def_iohlcv_fields` for a name and instead of copying and inserting
the index field pop it for the non-index version. Drop creating
`np.dtype()` instances since `numpy`'s apis accept both input forms so
this is simpler on our end.
Turns out you can mix and match `click` with `typer` so this moves what
was the `.data.cli` stuff into `storage.cli` and uses the integration
api to make it all work B)
New subcmd: `piker store`
- add `piker store ls` which lists all fqme keyed time-series from backend.
- add `store delete` to remove any such key->time-series.
- now uses a nursery for multi-timeframe concurrency B)
Mask out all the old `marketstore` specific subcmds for now (streaming,
ingest, storesh, etc..) in anticipation of moving them into
a subpkg-module and make sure to import the sub-cmd module in our top
level cli package.
Other `.storage` api tweaks:
- drop the reraising with custom error (for now).
- rename `Storage` -> `StorageClient` (or should it be API?).
To kick off our (tsdb) storage backends this adds our first implementing
a new `Storage(Protocol)` client interface. Going foward, the top level
`.storage` pkg-module will now expose backend agnostic APIs and helpers
whilst specific backend implementations will adhere to that middle-ware
layer.
Deats:
- add `.storage.marketstore.Storage` as the first client implementation,
moving all needed (import) dependencies out from
`.service.marketstore` as well as `.ohlc_key_map` and `get_client()`.
- move root `conf.toml` loading from `.data.history` into
`.storage.__init__.open_storage_client()` which now takes in a `name:
str` and does all the work of loading the correct backend module, its
config, and determining if a service-instance can be contacted and
a client loaded; in the case where this fails we raise a new
`StorageConnectionError`.
- add a new `.storage.get_storagemod()` just like we have for brokers.
- make `open_storage_client()` also return the backend module such that
the history-data layer can make backend specific calls as needed (eg.
ohlc_key_map).
- fall back to a basic non-tsdb backfill when `open_storage_client()`
raises the new connection error.
The plan is to offer multiple tsdb and other storage backends (for
a variety of use cases) and expose them similarly to how we do for
broker and data providers B)
Was borked on linux if you didn't provide the setting in `conf.toml` due
to some logic errors. Fix that by rejigging `DpiAwareFont` internal
variables:
- add new `._font_size_calc_key: str` which was the old `._font_size`
and is only used when no explicit font size is set by the user in the
`conf.toml` config:
- this is the "key" that is used to lookup a calculation function
which attempts to compute a best fit font size given the measured
system displays DPI settings and dimensions.
- make the `._font_size: int` the **actual** font size integer that is
cached and passed to `Qt` to set the size.
- this is overridden by user config now if defined.
- change the input kwarg `font_size: str` to the constructor to better
change the input kwarg `font_size: str` to the constructor to better
named private `_font_size_key: str` which gets set to the new
`._font_size_calc_key`.
Also, adjust all client code which instantiates `DpiAwareFont` to use
the new `_font_size_key` kwarg input so nothing breaks XD
Was only really borked for higher-precision but lower priced assets
(like TLOS or peeneez) which have a `MktPair.price_tick_digits >= 2`.
The issue was using the wrong attr, the `size_tick_digits`..
Including changing to `LinkedSplits.mkt: MktPair` and adding an explicit
setter method for setting it and being sure that nothing breaks
in the display system init!
For this commit we leave in warning access to `LinkedSplits.symbol` but
will remove in following commit.
Only stuff left was the allocator stuff. Drop the top level subpkg
exports and finally kill off the awkwardly named
`Symbol.lot_size_digits` properties XD
Expose a bunch more util funcs at subpkg top level, do some typing in
allocator method internals.
Contract matching in live setup was borked; switch to
`MktPair.dst.atype` matching, don't override the `cmdty` "venue" (a
weird special case) in `get_mkt_info()` otherwise lookup will fail..
Stash it for now in the (now mutable by default) `.shm_write_opts` and
have the new `Flume._has_vlm: bool` (only set to false internally by
feed layer) which can be read via new public `.has_vlm()` predicate.
Move out the old `.ui/_fsp` helper logic to this flume method.
Using the new `._ahab.start_ahab_service()` mngr of course, and now
support user config overrides (such that our defaults can be modified by
a keen user, say using a config file, or for testing). This is where the
functionality moved out of the `pikerd` init has been moved - instead of
being triggered by bool flag inputs to that factory.
For marketstore actually support overriding the entire yaml config via
runtime `_yaml_config_str: str` formatting with any passed user dict,
primarily focussing on supporting override of the sockaddrs for testing.
Allows for using the `Services.cancel_service()` api for explicit
cancellation in tests and eventually for remote teardown. Change
`.start_ahab()` to an `@acm` `start_ahab_service()` and just yield back
the same values we were returning prior. Also fix the logging (level) to
actually reflect what's passed in - we weren't using the correct name
/ instance from the `.sevice` subpkg..
`Flume.mkt.fqme` might not be exactly the same as the local
version now since we've had to add some hacks to certain backends
(cough ib) to handle `MktPair.src` not being set as an `Asset` (yet).
Since `open_trade_ledger()` now requires a sort we pass in a combo of
the std `pendulum.parse()` for API records and a custom flex parser for
flex entries pulled offline.
Add special handling for `MktPair.src` such that when it's a fiat (like
it should always be for most legacy assets) we try to get the fqme
without that `.src` token (i.e. not mnqusd) to avoid breaking
roundtripping of live feed requests (due to new symbology) as well as
the current tsdb table key set..
Do a wholesale renaming of fqsn -> fqme in most of the rest of the
backend modules.
Turns out that reading **and** writing with `tomlkit` is just wayya slow
for large documents like ledger files so move to using the `tomli`
sibling pkg `tomli-w` which seems to much improve on the latency, though
obviously longer run we're likely going to want:
- a better algorithm for only back loading records using as little
history as possible
- a different serialization format for production maybe something
like apache parquet?
The only issue with using a non-style-preserving writer is that we don't
necessarily get TOML conf ordering for free (without first ordering it
ourselves), and thus this patch also adds much more general date-time
sorting machinery which is now **required** when using
`open_trades_ledger()` via a `tx_sort: Callable`. By default we now
provide `.accounting._ledger.iter_by_dt()` (exposed in the subpkg mod)
which conducts dynamic "datetime key detection" based parsing of records
based on a `parsers: dict[str, Callabe]` input table. The default should
handle most use cases including all currently supported live backends
(kraken, ib) as well as our paper engine ledger-records format.
Granulars:
- adjust `Position.iter_clears()` to use new `iter_by_dt(key=lambda ..)`
signature.
- add `tomli-w` to setup and our `tomlkit` fork to requirements file.
- move `.write_config()` to bottom of class defn.
- fix closed pos popping to not error if pp was already popped..
Since porting all backends to the new `FeedInit` + `MktPair` + `Asset`
style init, we can now just directly pass a `MktPair` instance to the
history endpoint(s) since it's always called *after* the live feed
`.stream_quotes()` ep B)
This has a lot of benefits including allowing brokerd backends to have
more flexible, pre-processed market endpoint meta-data that piker has
already validated; makes handling special cases in much more straight
forward as well such as forex pairs from legacy brokers XD
First pass changes all crypto backends to expect this new input, ib will
come next after handling said special cases..
Since most (legacy) stock brokers design their symbology without
including the target exchange's source asset name - normally a fiat
currency like USD - this adds an option for rendering market endpoints
without that token for simpler use in backends for such brokers.
As an example IB doesn't expect a `mnq/usd.cme.ib` symbol and instead
presumes that since the CME lists all assets in USD then the source
asset is implied.
Impl details:
- add `MktPair.pair: str` which replaces `.key` as a better name.
- offer a `without_src: bool` to a new `.get_fqme()` getter method
which will render everything the same minus the src token.
- expose the new flag through both the new `.get_fqme()` and
`.get_bs_fqme()` methods and wrap those both under the original
property names `.bs_fqme` and `.fqme`.
Previously the subscription response handling was a bit sloppy what with
ignoring the welcome msg; this now correctly expects the correct startup
sequence. Also this avoids warn logging on pong messages by expecting
them in the msg loop and further drops the `KucoinMsg` struct and
instead changes the msg loop to expect `dict`s and only cast to structs
on live feed msgs that we actually process/relay.
Mostly renaming from the old acronym. This also contains necessary
conf.toml loading in order to call `open_storage_client()` which now
does not have default network contact info.
Previously we were passing the `fqme: str` which isn't as extensive nor
were we able to pass `MktPair` direct to backend history manager-loading
routines (which should be able to rely on always receiving it since
currently `stream_quotes()` is always called first for setup).
This also starts a slight bit of configuration oriented tsdb info
loading (via a new `conf.toml`) such that a user can decide to host
their (marketstore) db on a remote host and our container spawning and
client code will do the right startup automatically based on the config.
|-> Related to this I've added some comments about doing storage
backend module loading which should get actually written out as part of
patches coming in #486 (or something related).
Don't allow overruns again in history context since it seems it was
never a problem?
As per the new market info packing schema this patch almost gets it
completely compatible and useful via implementing the `get_mkt_info()`
backend module endpoint B)
There's still some questions around `MktPair.src` since all the contract
search machinery in the ib api isn't expecting a fiat currency in the
symbol key: for ex. `mnq/usd.cme.20230616.ib` has no handling for the
`[/]usd` part. For now i'm just excluding the `.src` since it requires
extra parsing on quotes-feed requests even though this is also currently
breaking forex pairs (idealpro or wtv). I think ideally we do move to
a `dst/src.<venue>.<etc..>` style but it's going to require adjustments
to all the existing crypto backends..
This also allows dropping the old `mk_init_msgs()` closure.
We need to allow overruns during the async multi-broker context spawning
init bc some backends might take longer then others to setup (eg.
binance vs. kucoin) and result in some context (stream) being overrun by
the time we get to the `.open_stream()` phase. Ideally, we can maybe
adjust the concurrent setup to be more of a task-per-provider style to
avoid this in the future - which would also in theory result in
more-immediate per-provider setup in terms showing ready feeds asap.
Also, does a bunch of renaming from fqsn -> fqme and drops the lower
casing of input symbols instead expecting the caller to know what the
data backend it's requesting is going to be able to handle in terms of
symbology.
Instead of pre-converting and mapping piker style fqmes to
`KucoinMktPair`s make `Client._pairs` keyed by the kucoin native market
ids and instead also create a `._fqmes2mktids: bidict[str, str]` for
doing lookups to the native pair from the fqme.
Also, adjust any remaining `fqsn` naming to fqme.
So that styling is preserved on write but requires that we pop `None`
values (in this case any unset `.expiry` transactions) due to `tomkit`
having no support for writing them as values?
So that we aren't creating blank files for legacy configs (as we do name
changes or wtv). Further change `.get_conf_path()` to validate against
new `account.` prefix and a god `conf.toml` file.
Allows for direct loading of an "account file configuration" contents
without having to pass the explicit config dir path. In this case we are
also rewriting the `pps.<brokername>.<accnt_name>.toml` file names to
instead have a `account.` prefix, but providing this helper function
allows such changes more easily in the future - since callers won't have
to use the lower level `.load()` input signature.
Also add some todo comments about moving to `tomlkit`.
I figure we might as well support multiple types of distributed
multi-host setups; why not allow running the API (gateway) and thus vnc
server on a diff host and allowing clients to connect and do their thing
B)
Deatz:
- make `ib._util.data_reset_hack()` take in a `vnc_host` which gets
proxied through to the `asyncvnc` client.
- pull `ib_insync.client.Client` host value and pass-through to data
reset machinery, presuming the vnc server is running in the same
container (and/or the same host).
- if no vnc connection **and** no i3ipc trick can be used, just report
to the user that they need to remove the data throttle manually.
- fix `feed.get_bars()` to handle throttle cases the same based on error
msg matching, not error the code and add a max `_failed_resets` count
to trigger bailing on the query loop.
No longer need to implement connection timeout logic in the streaming
code, instead we just `async for` that bby B)
Further refining:
- better `KucoinTrade` msg parsing and handling with object cases.
- make `subscribe()` do sub request in a loop wand wair for acks.
Previously you couldn't have a brokerd backend which defined
`.trades_dialogue()` but which could also indicate that the paper
clearing engine should be used. This adds that support by allowing the
endpoint task to return a simple `'paper'` string, in which case the ems
will boot a paperboi.
The obvious useful case for this is if you have a broker you want to use
but do not have actual broker credentials setup (yet) with that provider
in your `brokers.toml`; demonstrated here with the adjustment to
`kraken`'s startup to no longer raise a runtime error B)
To fit with the rest of the new requirements added in `.data.validate`
this adds `FeedInit` init including `MktPair` and `Asset` loading for
all spot currencies provided by `kucoin`.
Deatz:
- add a `Currency` struct and accompanying `Client.get_currencies()` for
storing all asset infos.
- implement `.get_mkt_info()` which loads all necessary accounting and
mkt meta-data structs including adding `.price/size_tick` fields to
the `KucoinMktPair`.
- on client boot, async spawn requests to cache both symbols and currencies.
- pass `subscribe()` as the `fixture` arg to `open_autorecon_ws()`
instead of opening it manually.
Other:
- tweak `Client._request` to not expect the prefixed `'/'` for the
`endpoint: str`.
- change the `api_v` arg to just be `api: str`.
Since it's a bit weird having service specific implementation details
inside the general service `._daemon` mod, and since i'd mentioned
trying this re-org; let's do it B)
Requires enabling the new mod in both `pikerd` and `brokerd` and
obviously a bit more runtime-loading of the service modules in the
`brokerd` service eps to avoid import cycles.
Also moved `_setup_persistent_brokerd()` into the new mod since the
naming would place it there even though the implementation really
wouldn't (longer run) since we want to split up `.data.feed` layer
backend-invoked eps into a separate actor eventually from the "actual"
`brokerd` which will be the actor running **only** the trade control eps
(eg. trades_dialogue()` and friends).
`trio`'s internals don't allow for async generator (and thus by
consequence dynamic reset of async exit stacks containing `@acm`s)
interleaving since doing so corrupts the cancel-scope stack. See details
in:
- https://github.com/python-trio/trio/issues/638
- https://trio-util.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#trio_util.trio_async_generator
- `trio._core._run.MISNESTING_ADVICE`
We originally tried to address this using
`@trio_util.trio_async_generator` in backend streaming code but for
whatever reason stopped working recently (at least for me) and it's more
or less implemented the same way as this patch but with more layers and
an extra dep. I also don't want us to have to address this problem again
if/when that lib isn't able to keep up to date with wtv `trio` is
doing..
So instead this is a complete rewrite of the conc design of our
auto-reconnect ws API to move all reset logic and msg relay into a bg
task which is respawned on reset-requiring events: user spec-ed msg recv
latency, network errors, roaming events.
Deatz:
- drop all usage of `AsyncExitStack` and no longer require client code
to (hackily) call `NoBsWs._connect()` on msg latency conditions,
intead this is all done behind the scenes and the user can instead
pass in a `msg_recv_timeout: float`.
- massively simplify impl of `NoBsWs` and move all reset logic into a
new `_reconnect_forever()` task.
- offer use of `reset_after: int` a count value that determines how many
`msg_recv_timeout` events are allowed to occur before reconnecting the
entire ws from scratch again.
Since we have made `MktPair.bs_mktid` mean something else now, change
all the feed setup var names to instead be more representative of the
actual value: `bs_fqme: str` and use the new `MktPair.bs_fqme` where
necessary.
The legacy version was a `dict` of `dicts` vs. now we want to be handed
a `list[FeedInit]`; process both in a factored way.
Drop `FeedInit.bs_mktid` since it's already defined on `.mkt.bs_mktid`
and we don't really need it top level.
More or less a replacement for what @guilledk did with the initial
attempt at a "broker check" type script a while back except in this case
we're going to always run this validation routine and it now uses a new
`FeedInit` struct to ensure backends are delivering the right schema-ed
data during startup. Also allows us to stick deprecation warnings / and
or strict API compat errors all in one spot (at least for live feeds).
Factors out a bunch of `MktPair` related adapter-logic into a new
`.validate.valiate_backend()` which warns to the backend implementer via
log msgs all the problems outstanding. Ideally we do our backend module
endpoint scan-and-complain regarding missing feature support from here
as well (eg. search, broker/trade ctl, ledger processing, etc.).
It needed some work..
- Make `unpack_fqme()` always return a 4-tuple handling the venue and
suffix parts more generally.
- add `Asset.Asset.guess_from_mkt_ep_key()` a like-it-sounds hack at
trying to render a `.dst: Asset` for most most purposes throughout the
stack.
- always try to preprocess the input `fqme: str` with `unpack_fqme()` in
`MktPair.from_fqme()` and use the new `Asset` method (above) to make
up a `.dst: Asset` pulling as much meta-info we can from the caller.
- add `MktPair.bs_fqme` to get the thing without the broker part..
- add an `'unknown'` value to the `_derivs` def.
- drop `Symbol.from_fqsn()` and `unpack_fqsn()` more generally (yes
BREAKING).
- only preload necessary (one for clearing, all for ledger sync)
`MktPair` info from the backend using `.get_mkt_info()`, build the
`mkt_by_fqme: dict[str, MktPair]` and pass it to
`TransactionLedger.iter_trans()`.
- use new `TransactionLedger.update_from_t()` method on clears.
- sanity check all `mkt_by_fqme` entries against `Flume.mkt` values
when we open a data feed.
- rename `PaperBoi._syms` -> `._mkts`.
Turns out we actually had further pp entry bugs due to *not quantizing*
the size inside `.minimize_clears()` method calcs; fix that using
`Position.sys.mkt.quantize()` as is done in `Position.calc_size()`.
Fix `PpTable.write_config()` to drop from the TOML config any
`closed: dict[str, Position]` entries delivered by `.dump_active()`.
Add a more detailed doc string for our position type and a little todo
for the `.bep` B)
Since ledger records are often provided (and thus stored) from most
backends *without* containing the info we normally need for accounting
defined by `MktPair`, this extends the ledger method to take in a table
that allows assigning the `Transaction.sys` from an fqme lookup. This
way client code (like the paper engine and new ledger mgmt tools) can
do the mkt info lookup before hand and then load both ledger
`Transactions` and positions via the `PpTable` and get correct
accounting calculations, always :fingers_crossed:
Also adds `TransactionLedger.update_from_t(t: Transaction)` to allow
updating directly from an existing tran instead of making the user cast
to a `dict` first. Includes fix to `.to_dict()` to always pop the `.sym`
again to avoid client code having to do so.
Wow not sure how that happened, but we should probably use the correct
market precision info for the correct parameter..
Also, use `@lru_cache` on new `get_mkt_info()` ep, seems to work?
In `.feed` and `._sampling` move to using the new
`tractor.Context.open_stream(allow_overruns: bool)` (cough, A BREAKING
CHANGE).
Also set `Flume.mkt` during construction in `.feed.open_feed()`.
Might as well try and flip it over to the new type; make appropriate
dict serialization changes in `.to_msg()`. Alias back to `.symbol:
Symbol` with a property.
Frickin ib, they give you the `0.001` (or wtv) in the
`ContractDetails.minSize: float` but won't accept fractional sizes
through the API.. Either way, it's probably not sane to be supporting
fractional order sizes for legacy instruments by default especially
since it in theory affects a lot of the clearing outcomes by having ib
do wtv magical junk behind the scenes to make it work..
Order mode previously was just willy-nilly sending `float` prices
(particularly on order edits) which are generated from the associated
level line. This actually uses the `MktPair.price_tick: Decimal` to
ensure the value is rounded correctly before submission to the ems..
Also adjusts the order mode init to expect a table of tables of startup
position messages, with the inner table being keyed by fqme per msg.
Tried a couple libs and ended up sticking with `rich` (since it's the
sibling lib to `typer`) but also (initially) implemented a version with
`blessings` that I ended up commenting out (and will likely remove).
Adjusted the CLI I/O a slight bit as well:
- require a fully qualified account name of the form:
`<brokername>.<accountname>` and error on non-matching input.
- dump positions summary lines as humanized size, ppu and cost basis
values per line.
When processing paper trades ledgers we normally won't have specific
`MktPair` info for the backend market we're simulating, as such we
need to look up this info when updating pps.toml files such that we
get precision info correct (particularly in the case of cryptos!) and
can also run paper ledger processing without running the simulated
clearing loop. In order to make it happen we lookup any `get_mkt_info()`
ep on the backend and pass the output to the `force_mkt` input of the
`PpTable.update_from_trans()` method.
This will (likely) act as a new backend query endpoint for other `piker`
(client) code to lookup `MktPair` info from each backend. To start it
also returns the backend-broker's local `Pair` (or wtv other type) as
well.
The main motivation for this is for our paper engine which can require
the mkt info when processing paper-trades ledgers which do not contain
appropriate info to compute position metrics.
Instead of stripping the broker part just use the full fqme for all
`Transaction.bs_mktid: str` values since it makes indexing the `PpTable`
much easier with less key mangling..
Change the root-service-task entrypoint to accept the level and
setup a console log as is now expected for all sub-services. Cast all
backend delivered startup `BrokerdPosition` msgs and log them to
console.
If you want a sub-actor to write console logs (with the right level) the
`get_console_log()` call has to be made somewhere during service task
startup. Previously this wasn't well formalized nor used (depending on
daemon) so passing `loglevel` to the service's root-task-endpoint (eg.
`_setup_persistent_brokerd()`) encourages that the daemon's logging is
configured during init according to the spawner's requesting logging
config. The previous `get_console_log()` call happening inside
`maybe_spawn_daemon()` wasn't actually doing anything in the target
daemon XD, so obviously remove that and instead passthrough loglevel
to the ctx endpoints and service manager methods.
Turns out we don't hookup our eventkit handler until after the
`load_aio_clients()` is complete, which means we can't get
`ib_insync.Client.apiError` events unless inside the asyncio side task.
So I guess try to report any such errors during API scan (note the
duplicate client id case is a special one from ibis itself) even though
we're not going to catch them trio side. The hack to work around this is
to just increment the client id value with the `connect_retries` led `i`
value even though that will break on more then 3 clients attached to an
API endpoint lul ..
Further adjustments that were to the end of trying to fix this proper:
- add `remove_handler_on_err()` cm to disconnect a handler when the trio
side of the channel closes.
- actually connect to client api erros in our `Client.inline_errors()`
- increase connect timeout to a sec.
- change the trio-asyncio proxy response-msg loop over to `match:`
syntax and raise on unhandled msgs from eventkit handlers.
We previously only offered a sync API (which was recently renamed to
`.<meth>_nowait()` style) since initially all order control was from our
`OrderMode` Qt driven UI/UX. This adds the equivalent async methods for
both testing as well as eventual auto-strat driven control B)
Also includes a bunch of renaming:
- `OrderBook` -> `OrderClient`.
- better internal renaming of the client's mem chan vars and add a ref
`._ems_stream: tractor.MsgStream`.
- drop `get_orders()` factory, just always check for the actor-global
instance and always set the ems stream on that client (in case old one
was closed).
This will end up being super handy for testing our accounting subsystems
as well as providing unified and simple cli utils for managing ledgers
and position tracking. Allows loading the paper boi without starting
a data feed and instead just trigger ledger and pps loading without
starting the entire clearing engine.
Deatz:
- only init `PaperBoi` and start clearing loop (tasks) if a non-`None`
fqme is provided, ow just `Context.started()` the existing pps msgs
as loaded from the ledger.
- always update both the ledger and pp table on startup and pass
a single instance of each obj to the `PaperBoi` for reuse (without
opening and closing backing config files since we now have
`.write_config()`).
- drop the global `_positions` dict, it's not needed any more if we use
a `PaperBoi.ppt: PpTable` which persists with the engine actor's
lifetime.
Add a new `class TransactionLedger(collections.UserDict)` for managing
ledger (files) from a `dict`-like API. The main motivations being easy
conversion between `dict` <-> `Transaction` obj forms as well as dynamic
(toml) file updates via a set of methods:
- `.write_config()` to render and write state to the local toml file.
- `.iter_trans()` to allow iterator style conversion to `Transaction`
form for each entry.
- `.to_trans()` for the dict output from the above.
Some adjustments to `Transaction` namely making `.sym/.sys` optional for
now so that paper engine entries can be loaded (offline) without
connecting to the emulated broker backend. Move to using `pathlib.Path`
throughout for bootyful toml file mgmt B)
When loading a `Position` from a pps file we might not have the entire
`MktPair` field-set loaded (though going forward that shouldn't really
ever happen except in the case of a legacy `pps.toml`), in which case we
can check if the `.fqme: str` value loaded from the transaction is
longer and use that instead - presuming it must have more mkt meta-data
filled out.
Also includes some more `fqsn` -> `fqme` renames.
Been meaning to do this port for a while and since it makes passing
around file handles (presumably alongside the in mem obj form) a lot
simpler/nicer and the implementations of all the config file handling
much more terse with less presumptions about the form of filename/dir
`str` values all over the place B)
moar technically, let's us:
- drop remaining `.config` usage of `os.path`.
- return `Path`s from most routines.
- adds a special case to `get_conf_path()` such that if the input name
contains a `pps.` pattern, we avoid validating the name; this is going
to be used by new `.accounting.open_pps()` code which will instead
write a separate TOML file for each account B)
