Code Review
This pull request introduces important security fixes, primarily by adding input validation for ticker symbols to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities. It also disables a potentially dangerous database reset feature in ChromaDB. The changes are well-documented with new markdown files explaining the security issues and future hardening plans.
My review focuses on improving code maintainability and correctness. Specifically:
- In
cli/main.py, I suggest simplifying the error handling. - In
tradingagents/dataflows/local.py, I've pointed out a small redundancy in the validation logic.
Overall, these are great improvements to the security posture of the application.

The try...except Exception block is too broad and can hide important errors. For instance, if the user presses Ctrl+C, typer.prompt raises a typer.Abort exception, which would be caught here, printing an error and continuing the loop instead of exiting the program as expected. The validation logic itself is unlikely to raise exceptions. It's better to remove the try...except block and let exceptions like Abort propagate naturally.

The checks for / and \ are redundant because the regular expression r'^[A-Za-z0-9.\-]+$' on line 27 already ensures the symbol does not contain these characters. You can simplify this check to only look for ...
