Add Autonomous Mode and Library Builder - v4.0 🚀

This commit introduces two powerful new modes that transform QuantCoder
into a self-improving, autonomous system capable of building entire
strategy libraries from scratch.

## New Features

### 🤖 Autonomous Mode (quantcoder auto)
- Self-improving strategy generation with learning loop
- Learns from compilation errors automatically
- Performance-based prompt refinement
- Self-healing code fixes
- SQLite-based learning database
- Real-time progress tracking

Commands:
- quantcoder auto start --query "momentum trading"
- quantcoder auto status
- quantcoder auto report

### 📚 Library Builder Mode (quantcoder library)
- Build comprehensive strategy library from scratch
- 10 strategy categories (momentum, mean reversion, ML, etc.)
- Target: 86 strategies across all major categories
- Systematic coverage with priority-based building
- Checkpoint/resume capability
- Progress tracking and export options

Commands:
- quantcoder library build --comprehensive
- quantcoder library status
- quantcoder library resume
- quantcoder library export

## Architecture

### Autonomous Mode Components:
- quantcoder/autonomous/database.py - Learning database (SQLite)
- quantcoder/autonomous/learner.py - Error & performance learning
- quantcoder/autonomous/prompt_refiner.py - Dynamic prompt enhancement

+# Autonomous Mode Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Autonomous Mode is a self-improving strategy generation system that continuously learns from its own compilation errors and backtest performance. It runs independently, refining its approach over time to generate higher-quality QuantConnect algorithms.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Self-Learning**: Learns from compilation errors and applies fixes automatically
+- **Performance-Based**: Adapts strategy generation based on backtest results
+- **Prompt Evolution**: Dynamically improves agent prompts with learned patterns
+- **Progress Tracking**: SQLite database tracks all learnings and improvements
+- **Graceful Exit**: Multiple exit options (Ctrl+C, max iterations, user prompt)
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+│   ├── Compilation errors & fixes
+│   ├── Performance patterns
+│   ├── Generated strategies
+│   └── Successful fix patterns

+│   ├── Success pattern identification
+│   └── Best practices extraction
+└── Prompt Refiner
+    ├── Inject error avoidance
+    ├── Add success patterns
+    └── Performance insights
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start autonomous mode
+quantcoder auto start \
+  --query "momentum trading" \
+  --max-iterations 50 \
+  --min-sharpe 0.5
+
+# Check status
+quantcoder auto status
+
+# Generate report
+quantcoder auto report
+```
+
+### Advanced Options
+
+```bash
+# Run with custom output directory
+quantcoder auto start \
+  --query "mean reversion" \
+  --max-iterations 100 \
+  --min-sharpe 1.0 \
+  --output ./my_strategies
+
+# Demo mode (no real API calls)
+quantcoder auto start \
+  --query "momentum trading" \
+  --max-iterations 5 \
+  --demo
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Initial Generation
+
+```
+Fetch Papers → Generate Strategy → Validate Code → Backtest → Store Results
+```
+
+### 2. Learning Loop
+
+For each iteration:
+
+1. **Fetch Research Papers**: Search arXiv/CrossRef for relevant papers
+2. **Apply Learnings**: Enhance prompts with error patterns and success strategies
+3. **Generate Code**: Create multi-file QuantConnect algorithm
+4. **Validate**: Check for compilation/syntax errors
+5. **Self-Healing**: If errors found, apply learned fixes automatically
+6. **Backtest**: Run strategy backtest via QuantConnect MCP
+7. **Learn**: Analyze results and update knowledge base
+
+### 3. Self-Improvement
+
+The system improves through:
+
+- **Error Pattern Recognition**: Identifies recurring errors
+- **Automatic Fixes**: Applies previously successful fixes
+- **Prompt Enhancement**: Adds learned patterns to agent prompts
+- **Performance Analysis**: Identifies what makes strategies succeed
+

+
+Total strategies generated: 47
+Successful: 35
+Average Sharpe: 0.73
+
+Common Errors:
+  1. import_error: 12 (91% fixed)

+Average Sharpe: 0.73
+Average Errors: 1.2
+Average Refinements: 0.8
+
+Category Breakdown:
+  • momentum: 25 strategies (avg Sharpe: 0.78)
+  • mean_reversion: 15 strategies (avg Sharpe: 0.65)
+  • factor_based: 7 strategies (avg Sharpe: 0.71)
+```
+
+### JSON Export
+```bash
+$ quantcoder auto report --format json > learnings.json
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Small
+```bash
+# First run: test with few iterations
+quantcoder auto start --query "momentum" --max-iterations 5 --demo
+```
+
+### 2. Use Demo Mode
+```bash
+# Test without API costs
+quantcoder auto start --query "momentum" --demo
+```
+
+### 3. Set Realistic Thresholds
+```bash
+# Start with lower threshold
+--min-sharpe 0.3  # Early iterations
+--min-sharpe 0.8  # After learning
+```
+
+### 4. Monitor Progress
+```bash
+# In another terminal
+watch -n 60 quantcoder auto status
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Too Many Failed Strategies
+
+**Solution**: Lower min-sharpe threshold initially
+```bash
+--min-sharpe 0.3
+```
+
+### Issue: Repeated Errors Not Fixed
+
+**Solution**: Check learning database
+```bash
+quantcoder auto status
+# Look at fix rate for each error type
+```
+
+### Issue: Slow Performance
+
+**Solution**: Use demo mode or reduce iterations
+```bash
+--max-iterations 20
+```
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Database Location
+```
+~/.quantcoder/learnings.db
+```
+
+### Learning Database Size
+- ~1KB per strategy
+- ~50 strategies = ~50KB
+- ~1000 strategies = ~1MB
+
+### Memory Usage
+- Base: ~50MB
+- Per iteration: ~10MB
+- Peak: ~200MB
+
+### API Calls Per Iteration
+- Paper search: 1 call
+- Strategy generation: 3-5 calls (multi-agent)
+- Validation: 1 call
+- Backtest: 1 call
+- **Total: ~6-8 calls per iteration**
+
+## Integration with Other Modes
+
+Autonomous mode can feed the Library Builder:
+
+```bash
+# Run autonomous mode first
+quantcoder auto start --query "momentum" --max-iterations 50
+
+# Then build library using learnings
+quantcoder library build --comprehensive
+```
+
+The library builder will use the learned patterns from autonomous mode!
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **Not Production-Ready**: Requires human review before live trading
+2. **API Costs**: Each iteration makes 6-8 API calls
+3. **Time-Intensive**: Expect 2-5 minutes per iteration
+4. **Domain-Specific**: Learns patterns specific to QuantConnect API
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Multi-query parallelization
+- [ ] Advanced fix strategies (AST manipulation)
+- [ ] Performance prediction before backtesting
+- [ ] Cross-category learning transfer
+- [ ] Hyperparameter optimization
