- Detect yfinance quote_type (CURRENCY→forex, FUTURE→energy, INDEX→indices,
ETF→etfs, EQUITY→equities) when adding a custom ticker and persist it in
market_watchlist.asset_class
- get_all_quotes() merges custom tickers into their proper group (e.g. EURUSD=X
appears under Forex) instead of always under a separate "Custom" group
- "Custom" tab only shows tickers whose type couldn't be detected
- Add market_watchlist.asset_class migration; ensure backtest_lab_runs and
market_watchlist are always created at init_db() time

Add ability to add/remove custom tickers (e.g. EURCHF=X) on the
Markets & Prices page without editing config. Tickers are validated
via yfinance, persisted in market_watchlist SQLite table, merged into
the quotes feed as a 'custom' group, and shown in a dedicated tab
with per-card remove buttons.

Backend:
- GET /api/market/validate?symbol= — validates ticker against yfinance,
returns {valid, name, price} or {valid: false, reason: 'helpful message'}
- Added SLV, USO, WEAT, CORN, TUR to ETFs WATCHLIST category
Frontend:
- validateTicker() async helper exported from useApi.ts
- InstrumentPicker (PatternLab): custom ticker field now validates before selecting
Shows spinner while checking, red error message if not found on yfinance
- InstrumentLens (PatternExplorer): same validation on Go button + Enter key
