Root cause: MT5 actually reads live EA inputs from MQL5/Profiles/Charts/Default/chartNN.chr at boot, not from the .set presets -- and it never rewrites that file on container shutdown (files were found frozen at their Aug 6 mtimes through every restart since, including graceful ones with stop_grace_period). This is why the XAUUSD spread-filter fix (Jul 30) and the Monday A/B reversion (Aug 10) both kept reverting after restarts. sync-ea-inputs.sh (+ .py) runs on every container boot via custom-cont-init.d, before MT5 launches, and writes each chart's matching bo-*.set values directly into its .chr cache -- bypassing MT5's broken save-on-exit path entirely. Validated with a real corrupt-then-restart-then-verify cycle (see vault note). Deployed copy lives at ~/mt5-docker/custom-cont-init.d/ (mt5-docker is not a git repo); this is the tracked source, kept in sync with the deployed version by hand like the other scripts here (e.g. export-history.sh).

# Thin wrapper: the linuxserver.io custom-cont-init.d runner invokes every

|
# executable file directly in this directory via `sh`, ignoring shebangs,
|
|
# so a plain .py file placed here fails outright when picked up on its
|
|
# own. The real logic lives in lib/ (a subdirectory, which the runner
|
|
# does not recurse into) and is invoked explicitly via python3 here.

# Runs on every container start (before MT5 itself, per the s6 cont-init
