Prefetch on Load

On startup, the app prefetches 60 hours of 1-hour bars for all active assets:

const from = now - 60 * 3600; // 60 hours ago
await fetch(`/api/benchmarks?symbol=${sym}&resolution=60&from=${from}&to=${now}&countback=60`);

This pre-populates the correlation history buffer so the Matrix is meaningful from the first tick — rather than waiting 10 minutes for live data to accumulate.

Pyth Benchmarks data availability varies by asset. Equity feeds (AAPL, SPY, etc.) may return "no_data" outside US market hours.
