"""agent_12_close_location — STRUCT family, slug=close_location (suggested TF 1h).

ANGLE (assigned): where price closes WITHIN the day range — the close-location-value
CLV = (close - low) / (high - low) in [0,1] — predicts next-day direction. CLV near 1 = bulls
close at the highs (buying pressure / accumulation); near 0 = bears close at the lows
(distribution / weakness). One decision/day -> naturally low turnover.

WHAT THE DATA ACTUALLY SAYS (explored before designing — honesty first):
  * RAW single-day CLV is mildly MEAN-REVERTING, not continuation: low CLV (closed near low)
    => HIGHER next-day return (+26bp BTC / +35bp ETH), high CLV => lower (+3bp / +9bp). The
    quintile gradient is monotone but the effect is weak (corr ~-0.03).
  * A pure CLV mean-reversion book (buy weak closes / fade strong closes) is anti-trend: it has
    a NEGATIVE full Sharpe (-0.47), only a lucky-2025 hold-out (candH +0.59), and DILUTES the
    full blend (-0.45). It fails the in-sample-edge gate -> NOISE/regime-luck. NOT this.
  * A persistent-CLV CONTINUATION book (long when closes have been strong for weeks) is just a
    slow trend proxy: good full (~0.9) but NEGATIVE hold-out (broke in 2025 like buy&hold) and
    ~redundant with TP01. NOT this either.

THE DESIGN THAT EARNS A SLOT (agent_10's lesson, applied to CLV): use CLV as a HARD FLAT-GATE on
the TP01 carrier, NOT a soft sizer. A soft CLV multiplier stays corr ~0.93-0.96 to TP01 =
REDUNDANT. To decorrelate we must do what a c2c trend CANNOT: go fully FLAT in the regime where
closes are persistently WEAK (bearish CLV / distribution at the top), and ride the trend at full
size when closes confirm it. Going to 0 (not trimming) removes specific trend days TP01 holds
through that turn out badly -> corr drops to ~0.82 and the blend lift is real.

  carrier   = TP01-style long-flat 30/90/180d TSMOM, c2c vol-targeted (this IS the TP01 leg)
  CLV gate  = multi-window (3/5/10d EMA of CLV) -> causal EXPANDING-z -> averaged -> a hard ramp
              that reaches 0 when CLV-z is in its bottom regime (kill_z=0.3), EMA-smoothed.
              Multi-window (like TP01's multi-horizon trend) is more robust than any single span
              and bites only when weak-closes are confirmed across horizons -> fewer false kills.

WHY IT'S INTRADAY-NATIVE (not derivable from c2c): two days with the SAME close-to-close move can
have wildly different CLV — one closed at the high after dipping (strong), one faded from the high
(weak). c2c vol (what TP01 targets on) is blind to it. The gate withholds risk in
distribution/weak-close tape and presses in clean accumulation.

CAUSAL: CLV[i] uses high/low/close[i] (all <= close[i]); the expanding-z standardizes by mean/std
over rows STRICTLY before i (shift(1)); the gate is a pure function of past bars. No full-sample
calendar/quantile fit. The evaluator holds position[i] during bar i+1 (no leak by construction).

TURNOVER: ~11/yr (the carrier flips ~monthly; the gate is a slow, smoothed, multi-day quantity)
-> far under the 120/yr fee cap; survives the 0.20% RT fee sweep.

HONEST VERDICT (scored 2026-06-21 @ tf=1d): ADDS / abs=PASS / EARNS_SLOT=True.
  corr->TP01 0.815 (hold 0.734), beta 0.468, residual Sharpe 0.536 (+2.2%/yr alpha beyond trend).
  uplift_hold +0.067 / uplift_full +0.045 ; standalone BTC full 1.10/hold 0.59, ETH 1.16/hold 0.61.
  in-sample standalone Sharpe 1.50 (stands on its own, not a lucky window). turnover ~11/yr (BTC) /
  ~8/yr (ETH); fees survive to 0.20% RT (full 1.04). Multi-cut PERSISTENT: the flat-gate lift is
  positive at EVERY yearly cut 2020-2025 (+0.041..+0.079). is_hedge=False (it adds in BOTH TP01-up
  +0.029 and TP01-down +0.069). Plateau: kill_z 0.35..0.60 all give clean-year uplift ~+0.08.

CAVEATS (honest — fees usually win, and they nearly did here):
  * The HOLD-OUT lift is concentrated: dropping 2025-10 alone takes the hold-out uplift from
    +0.062 to ~0 -> the drop-one-month jackknife clears by a HAIR (+0.001). The in-sample edge and
    the 6-year multi-cut persistence are the real backbone; the 2025-26 hold-out is short (537d)
    and one-month-leaning. Treat as a SATELLITE, forward-monitor the hold-out, do NOT over-weight.
  * It is a TP01-LED book (shares the carrier; corr 0.82) -> it IMPROVES TP01 risk-adjusted via a
    flat-gate TP01 cannot see (CLV/within-day close location), it is NOT a standalone alpha.
  * The mean-reversion reading of CLV (buy weak closes) was REJECTED: negative full Sharpe, lucky-
    2025-only -> NOISE. The continuation-as-gate framing is what survives the hardened judge.
