Description

Expected Behavior

We have a standard way to flag that a framework model doesn't support certain security types. For example, BrokerageModel has CanSubmitOrder.

Actual Behavior

For example, if an alpha model doesn't handle options, it shouldn't try to generate insights.

Potential Solution

Implement CanSubmitInsight(Symbol) to be called in Update or RegisterSecurity(Symbol) to be called in OnSecuritiesChanged to filter out unsupported assets.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing BrokerageModel.CanSubmitOrder pattern and the framework model paths described in the issue. Determine where an equivalent insight or security support check would be invoked, and consider the work complete when unsupported assets are filtered from insight generation or security registration without affecting supported assets.
