- Added pipelineEnabled flag to Helm values (default: true)
- Worker services (scheduler, ingestion, parser, extractor, aggregation,
recommendation, broker-adapter, lake-publisher) scale to 0 when disabled
- API services always run regardless of toggle
- Redis-based runtime toggle: POST /api/ops/pipeline/toggle
- Scheduler checks the flag before each cycle
- Frontend: green/red Pipeline ON/OFF button on the pipeline page
- Beta defaults to pipelineEnabled: false
- Base values.yaml: blanked external URLs (Ollama, Polygon, Alpaca)
so stages only connect to what they explicitly configure
