bug: exchange-qualified multi-symbol lists are only partially captured #108

Summary

extract_exchange_ticker_hints only captures the first symbol after an exchange prefix. Public PR Newswire releases use several human-edited list forms, so extending this behavior requires an explicit list grammar rather than a larger one-off regex. This is intentionally low priority because the observed incremental recall is very small.

Public examples

The following five shapes appeared in one public 24-hour PR Newswire window:

(OTCID: QVCAQ, QVCGQ, QVCPQ)
(NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31)
(NYSE: TME and HKEX: 1698)
(NASDAQ: VMAR; TSXV: VMAR)
(NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR)

Current behavior and impact

The three dual-listing forms with an explicit prefix on each side already yield the supported US symbol (TME, VMAR, and ASR). The two true shared-prefix lists have limited additional value: (NYSE: EVEX, EVEXW; B3: EVEB31) loses only the warrant EVEXW, while the QVC group is entirely under OTCID, which is not in the current exchange whitelist. In this window, the net supported-symbol gain would therefore be approximately one warrant.

Design questions

1. Which separators belong to the grammar: comma, semicolon, and, or a bounded subset?
2. Where does a shared exchange group end when another EXCHANGE: prefix appears?
3. Should numeric symbols and additional exchanges be handled here, or in a separate whitelist policy change?
4. What should NewsTickerHint.raw mean for additional list members: the full group, the individual token, or a reconstructed exchange-symbol pair?

Suggested scope

Define the list grammar and raw semantics before implementation, then use the five strings above as deterministic regression fixtures. Keep this independent from #107, which only normalizes Markdown link and emphasis decoration on the ticker scan copy.
