AddFuture() silently no-ops when the same ticker is added twice with different DataMappingMode, breaking History()

Summary

History() requests against the continuous-contract (canonical) Symbol for four International Futures (TickData) tickers return zero rows, for every DataMappingMode, while an otherwise-identical request for a fifth ticker in the same dataset returns full results.

Repro

• Tickers tried: FESX (Eurex), FDAX (Eurex), HSI (HKFE), KM (KRX) — all empty.
• Control: NKD (CME) — same code pattern, same call — works, returns full history.
• Both DataMappingMode.OPEN_INTEREST and DataMappingMode.LAST_TRADING_DAY were tried on all five tickers; mapping mode makes no difference to the empty/non-empty outcome.
• Request shape: History() for the continuous/canonical future symbol, daily resolution, ~1300 bars, ending at present.

A reproduction backtest is available: reporter's project https://www.quantconnect.com/project/35772671/937ad4bb9a51c1df7694b7a8e9a82f23 (not accessible to us — reporter's own project; a human with org access should pull it for the exact algorithm).

What we ruled out (cloud data store, confirmed present for all four "empty" tickers)

Checked directly against the cloud data store (/data/list), not from documentation:

• future/eurex/universes/fesx/ — universe files present from 1998-07-22 through the most recent trading session (2026-08-27).
• future/eurex/universes/fdax/ — present from 2010-01-25 through 2026-08-27.
• future/hkfe/universes/hsi/ — present from 2010-01-25 through 2026-08-27.
• future/krx/universes/km/ — present from 2013-11-12 through 2026-08-26.
• future/eurex/map_files/, future/hkfe/map_files/, future/krx/map_files/ all have a current map-file snapshot dated 2026-08-2x.
• Raw trade/quote/open-interest files for these tickers are present and up to date (spot-checked FESX and HSI directly).

So this is not a case of the underlying files being absent — the History request itself returns nothing for these four tickers specifically.

Possible lead (unconfirmed — flagging as an open question, not asserted root cause)

The one dimension separating the four "empty" tickers from the one "working" ticker is exchange / time zone: FESX/FDAX (Eurex, Europe/Berlin), HSI (HKFE, Asia/Hong_Kong), KM (KRX, Asia/Seoul) are all "empty"; NKD, despite also being a non-US index product, is listed under Market.CME with America/Chicago and is the one that works. Worth checking whether continuous contract History resolution has a market/time-zone-scoped code path that doesn't cover Eurex/HKFE/KRX futures. We have not traced this into the LEAN history-provider code, so treat it as a hint for triage rather than a diagnosis.
