"""Locks the two harness-realism gates codified from the 2026-06-21 intraday wave: * day_boundary_robust — a calendar/session/hour signal whose marginal uplift INVERTS when the UTC day boundary is shifted is a labeling ARTIFACT (this killed open_drive). A price signal that ignores the calendar is INVARIANT; a genuine calendar effect is ROBUST. * eval_weights_smallcap — at ~$600 a sub-min_order rebalance can't execute; the modeled proportional fee on thousands of sub-dollar moves is a fiction. The realistic evaluator skips them.
