Backtester (run.py):
- cash_available = (self._cash + parking_value) * multiplier caused trades to be
approved even when self._cash ≈ 0 (all money in SGOV/QQQ). Trades executed
by deducting from self._cash → negative cash (phantom money).
- Fix: after simulate_entry, if self._cash < actual trade cost and parking exists,
call _liquidate_parking_for_cash(shortfall) before deducting from cash.
- Verified: 2022-2026 backtest with qqqm_low_dd shows 0 cash_negative events.
Live engine (engine.py):
- Add _parking_liquidate_for_event(): frees parking cash to fund event entries.
SGOV (virtual) reduces entry_value in DB; QQQM/QQQ sells real shares via broker.
- Both entry loops (engines mode + flat/reaction_close mode) now attempt parking
liquidation when plan.skip_reason == "insufficient_cash" before giving up.
Also includes prior session work (accumulated since last commit):
- 6 novel parking gate signals: VRP, Market Temperature, Hurst exponent, Rolling
Kurtosis, Return Autocorrelation, SPY-QQQ Correlation (composite risk score v2)
- QQQM parking symbol support (lower expense ratio vs QQQ)
- Snapshot auto-refresh + bar extension cache (pickle) to avoid 10-min re-fetches
- Bar extension clamps to last market-closed date (ET 4PM check)
- fithia2 refresh command; --no-refresh flag for paper backtest
- Paper backtest macro extension beyond last event date (parking-only periods)
- parking_state DB schema: 7 new columns (peak_price, gate_in_sgov,
committed_target, pending_target, pending_days, sgov_entry_value, sold_today)
- Live engine: target confirmation (2-day), top-up drawdown gate, trailing stop,
SGOV interest accrual, full 6-signal gate evaluation
- New PARKING_PRESETS: qqqm_low_dd, composite_v2, vv_24_vrp8, vt_24_t13, etc.
- Web GUI / CLI result parity fix (Oracle URL via get_settings().stock_oracle_url)
- Force-close uses last_exec_date (has bar data); parking liquidates at last_date

Extends selector with new scoring model support, adds execution
enhancements, and improves snapshot store loading and split handling.

FilledTrade now carries event_type and score from the Candidate.
These fields are written to trade_blotter.parquet and displayed in
paper backtest trade logs.
Previously score showed as 0.00 for all trades because the field
wasn't propagated from Candidate → FilledTrade → Parquet.
Score=0.00 is valid for trades from engines with score_threshold_override=0.0
(e.g. guidance_unknown_orderly) where engine gates, not score, determine entry.

Phase 1-4 of engine unification to eliminate research/live divergence.
Phase 1 — Scoring (event_detector.py):
EventDetector now uses config's scoring_model (v5/v9 etc.) when
event_v1 features are present (parse_confidence_overall not null).
Falls back to compute_entry_score only for incomplete events.
Phase 2 — Execution config (execution.py):
Extracted build_effective_execution_config() as shared function.
BacktestRunner delegates to it. PaperTradingEngine can now use
identical per-engine overrides, adaptive exit, tiered targets.
Phase 3 — Attention filtering (attention.py):
New AttentionFilterService class extracted from BacktestRunner.
Provides: engine_requires_attention, apply_filters, rescoring.
BacktestRunner now delegates to this service.
PaperTradingEngine can import and use the same service.
Phase 4 — Gap cap (execution.py):
check_next_open_gap_cap() shared function for next-open gap rejection.
All 450 unit tests pass. Paper backtest verified working.

Remove 5 non-alpha features (earnings surprise, risk penalty, parse confidence,
direction clarity, LM sentiment) from composite score to eliminate double-counting
with hard gates and noise sources. Redistribute weights to 5 alpha features.
Add default-deny for unknown event types, no-follow-through early exit (D+1),
kill switch log-only mode, macro regime size scaler. Remove SUE gate (Gate 8).
