+# factory-reset.sh — Factory reset a Stonks Oracle stage
+#
+# Drops and recreates the database, flushes Redis keys, empties S3 buckets,
+# re-runs migrations, and re-seeds the symbol registry.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   bash scripts/factory-reset.sh <stage> [--component <component>] [--yes] [--verbose]
+#
+# Stages:
+#   production   — stonks-oracle namespace, DB=stonks, Redis DB=0, buckets=stonks-*
+#   paper        — stonks-paper namespace, DB=stonks_paper, Redis DB=2, buckets=paper-stonks-*
+#   beta         — stonks-beta namespace, DB=stonks_beta, Redis DB=1, buckets=beta-stonks-*
+#
+# Components (optional, default: all):
+#   all          — Full factory reset (DB + S3 + Redis)
+#   db           — Database only (drop/recreate + migrations + seed)
+#   s3           — S3 buckets only (empty all stage buckets)
+#   redis        — Redis only (flush stage keys)
+#   computed     — Computed data only (trends, recommendations, orders, positions)
+#
+# Examples:
+#   bash scripts/factory-reset.sh beta                    # Full reset of beta
+#   bash scripts/factory-reset.sh production --component db   # DB-only reset of production
+#   bash scripts/factory-reset.sh paper --component computed  # Clear computed data in paper
+#   bash scripts/factory-reset.sh beta --verbose              # Full reset with per-object output
+#
+# Requirements:
+#   - kubectl access to the cluster
+#   - mc (MinIO client) configured with alias "stonks"
+
