Fix cache collision preventing API data load on data source switch

[Copilot]

Cache keys in useStockData and useQuote omitted the dataSource parameter. Switching from Mock to API returned cached mock data instead of fetching fresh API data.

Changes

Modified cache key generation to include dataSource:

// Before: cache keys collide between mock and API data
const cacheKey = apiCache.generateKey('stockData', symbol, interval, timeRange);

// After: separate caches per data source
const cacheKey = apiCache.generateKey('stockData', dataSource, symbol, interval, timeRange);

Files changed:

• src/frontend/src/hooks/useStockData.ts - Include dataSource in cache key
• src/frontend/src/hooks/useQuote.ts - Include dataSource in cache key
• src/frontend/e2e/data-source-switching.spec.ts - Add E2E tests for data source switching

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
