+summary: Add real Databento futures contract mapping for GC backtests so the page can support gold futures without fail-closed restrictions.
+acceptance_criteria:
+  - Backtest-page Databento runs support GC without requiring users to know raw contract symbols.
+  - Contract selection or front-month rollover rules are explicit and test-covered.
+  - The selected contract path yields non-empty historical price data for supported windows.
+  - Browser validation confirms the GC path works from `/{workspace_id}/backtests` with no visible runtime error.
+technical_notes:
+  - Current hardening work intentionally fail-closes GC on the backtest page because the raw `GC` symbol does not resolve reliably in Databento historical requests.
+  - Follow-up work should decide between explicit contract selection, continuous mapping, or deterministic rollover logic before re-enabling GC in the Databento path.

+summary: Make the backtests page render immediately by deferring expensive preview metadata until the user requests it, while hardening the Databento path used by the page.
+completed_notes:
+  - Replaced the eager backtest-page entry-spot derivation on first paint with an explicit lazy `Load scenario preview` flow so `/{workspace_id}/backtests` renders immediately.
+  - Added clear lazy-loading UI copy plus a spinner/status area for preview metadata, and kept expensive Databento lookups off normal form changes.
+  - Updated the backtest-page defaults to use a recent completed Monday-Friday window instead of future placeholder dates.
+  - Bound the visible Databento dataset to the selected symbol, limited the backtest page to daily Databento bars, and fail-closed unsupported GC futures requests instead of pretending the combination works.
+  - Added live Databento test coverage gated by `DATABENTO_API_KEY` for both the raw source and the backtest-page service.
+  - Local validation covered the exact changed route: `/health` returned OK, targeted Playwright tests for `/backtests` passed, and a browser-visible manual preview run against the dev Databento key confirmed lazy preview loading plus successful GLD preview fetches.
