"""agent_11_weekly_seasonality — SEASON family, slug=weekly_seasonality (suggested TF 1h).

ANGLE (assigned): a CAUSAL EXPANDING day-of-week effect that tilts a long BTC/ETH exposure by
the historically-strong weekday. Default LONG (capture drift); on the SINGLE weekday whose
causal expanding mean return is the WEAKEST so far, flip SHORT instead. Low turnover: the
weekday identity is sticky, so realized turnover is ~65-86 round-trips/yr — under the fee wall.

DESIGN PATH (honest): the literal "long-flat, flatten the weak weekday" version (just zero the
worst day) was NEUTRAL vs TP01 — it stays ~99% long, so it is buy&hold-in-disguise: corr 0.64,
hold-out uplift ~0.00. The piece that actually ADDS is SHORTING the worst weekday: it removes
that day's drift and injects a drift-free, trend-orthogonal return. A pure cross-weekday
long-short (orthogonal but no anchor) was tested and is NOISE OOS (causal long-short Sharpe IS
~0.1 / OOS -0.3..-1.4). The winning shape is "long the bull, EXCEPT short the worst weekday".

WHAT THE SIGNAL CONVERGES TO: the causally-weakest weekday locks onto THURSDAY almost
immediately and stays there for BOTH BTC and ETH, in-sample AND out-of-sample (>99% of bars).
So this is effectively "long, short Thursdays" — a Deribit-expiry-adjacent effect (weekly
options/futures settle Fri 08:00 UTC; pre-expiry de-risking pushes Thursday weak). The
cross-asset agreement + 7-year persistence is what separates it from a 1-of-7 multiple-testing
artifact. NB it is still discovered causally per bar — no full-sample weekday mean is used.

CAUSALITY: bias[i] for each weekday uses ONLY returns realized at bars 0..i-1 (an expanding
accumulator updated AFTER bias[i] is read, with a MIN_OBS warm-up). The worst-weekday identity
is re-decided causally every bar; result is invariant to MIN_OBS in {10,20,40,80}.

VERDICT (hardened judge, 1h): abs_grade=PASS, marginal=ADDS, earns_slot=TRUE. Standalone full
Sharpe BTC 1.59 / ETH 1.42, hold-out 0.86 / 0.98 (both assets). vs TP01: corr 0.44 full /
0.32 hold, resid Sharpe 1.12, alpha/yr +0.21. Blend 0.75*TP01 + 0.25*cand: hold-out uplift
+0.40 (full +0.33), DD 11%. Multi-cut persistent (positive uplift EVERY year 2020-2026),
drop-best-month jackknife +0.25, not a hedge (pays in TP01-up AND TP01-down). Fee-survives to
0.30% RT (BTC 1.19 / ETH 1.11). HONEST CAVEAT: the whole edge is one weekday ("short Thursday")
— a single, expiry-driven calendar effect; if Deribit settlement mechanics change, monitor it.
