Alpaca live: drop backtesting-only process_pending_orders call at market close - #1253
Live Alpaca strategies crash at market close because the broker calls a step that only exists in backtesting. This removes that call from the live broker.
Problem
Alpaca._await_market_to_close calls self.process_pending_orders(strategy=strategy), which only BacktestingBroker defines. Every live Alpaca strategy therefore raises AttributeError: 'Alpaca' object has no attribute 'process_pending_orders' at market close (#1113).
Change
The live call is removed and the docstring updated. Pending-order processing simulates fills bar by bar; live fills arrive through the trade stream. This matches StrategyExecutor, which already guards its own calls with if self.broker.IS_BACKTESTING_BROKER:. BacktestingBroker is untouched.
Tests
The new tests/test_alpaca_live_await_market_close.py reproduces the AttributeError on dev @ 8810a3f before the fix, and passes after it.

Walkthrough
Alpaca’s market-close wait method no longer calls pending-order processing. Tests verify the live broker setup and confirm that the method returns None when the remaining wait is negative.
Changes: Alpaca market-close wait
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Live Alpaca close-wait behavior lumibot/brokers/alpaca.py, tests/test_alpaca_live_await_market_close.py
The method no longer calls process_pending_orders. Its documentation identifies the strategy argument as unused. Tests check that the broker is not a backtesting broker and that the method returns None when get_time_to_close() returns -60.
The crash fix is mergeable; update the docstring to mention both streaming and polling update paths.

Explanation
Issue #1113 requires that live or paper Alpaca execution does not call the backtesting-only process_pending_orders during _await_market_to_close. The PR removes that call from Alpaca._await_market_to_close and documents that live fills arrive through the trade stream. The added test constructs a paper Alpaca broker and verifies that the post-close call returns without the reported AttributeError. The diff does not change BacktestingBroker.

Document both live order-update paths.
OAuth-only and injected trading_client configurations use do_polling() to retrieve and dispatch order updates. API-key configurations use the WebSocket trade-update stream. Replace “trade stream” with “configured trade-update path” so the docstring covers both supported modes.
