Adriano Dal Pastro de72e3ce1f feat(skyhook): SKH01-V2-DD — asymmetric %-exits cut standalone DD <30% (2-wave agent research)
Second agent wave (skyhook-improve-v2, 14 DD-reduction families, each adversarially
verified by 2 skeptics) beats the prior winner on the only unmet goal (DD<30%).

Winner = ASYM_LS -> promoted to engine as SKH01_V2_DD:
  same signal (ptn_n=45, vola[35,95], vol_lo=0, exit-bars 24/16) but exits switched
  from ATR to FIXED-PCT ASYMMETRIC — long sl4%/tp10%, short sl2%(tighter)/tp8%.
  The tight short %-SL caps the per-trade loss that forms the maxDD in vol spikes.

Verified (sk.study, independent re-run): standalone maxDD BTC 21.4% / ETH 27.4% (<30%),
minFull +0.99, minHold +1.26, causality 0/400 both assets, fee-surviving to 0.40%RT,
marginal vs TP01 ADDS (corr 0.09, in-sample edge, robust_oos, multicut, clean-year +0.57),
blend 0.75*TP01+0.25*SKH uplift_hold +0.87; blend 50/50 full 1.84/hold 1.59/DD 10.7%.
Plateau (not knife-edge); both skeptics holds_up=high, killer=null.

Engine: per-direction short exit overrides (exit_mode_short/sl_*_short/tp_*_short),
backward-compatible (None -> symmetric, V1/intermediate-winner unchanged). +3 tests (8/8 pass).

Lessons: DD is cut by changing the exit MECHANISM (%-SL, L/S asymmetry, ensembles), NOT by
entry-only kill-switch / vol-target / cadence. PATTERN_CONF killed as overfit (knife-edge).
PCTL_DD unverified (rate-limit) and ENS_PARAM/TPSL_DD recency/hedge-loaded -> forward-monitor.
NOT yet wired to live sleeves: re-verify blend@0.25 + causality on execution code before deploy.

Includes both waves' research scripts (runs/SKH_* wave 1, runs/SKH2_* wave 2).

"""SKH2_DDKILL — CAUSAL drawdown kill-switch overlay on Skyhook entries.
Family: drawdown kill-switch on entries [DDKILL].
Idea
----
Walk the trade-by-trade REALIZED equity of the V2-winner Skyhook. Track the running peak.
Once standalone DD from the running peak exceeds `dd_kill`, enter a "killed" state and SUPPRESS
new entries until equity recovers within `recover` of the running peak (i.e. DD shrinks back
below `recover`). This is sequential & causal: the kill decision for a new entry at bar i uses
ONLY the equity realized by trades that closed at/before i (busy_until <= i).
Implementation
--------------
1. Build base entries with the winner SkyhookParams.
2. Run backtest_signals -> realized equity path (mark-at-trade-exit, forward-filled).
3. From that equity path compute a per-bar boolean `killed[i]` (causal: peak/DD use eq up to i,
and eq[i] only changes at a trade-exit bar -> the state at the moment we'd open a new entry
at i reflects only past closed trades).
4. Null entries where killed -> re-run. Equity changes (suppressed losers/winners during DD),
so ITERATE to a fixed point (state stabilizes, usually 2-5 iters).
5. Evaluate FULL + HOLD-OUT + fee-sweep + per-year on BOTH assets, marginal-vs-TP01,
combined-curve max-DD, causality (truncated-prefix recompute of the FINAL entries).
CAUSALITY of the overlay itself
-------------------------------
The base skyhook_entries are already causal (sk.causality). The kill mask at bar i is a function
of equity[0..i], and equity[j] for j<=i only embeds trades whose exit_idx <= i. The mask never
references a future bar. We additionally PROVE it by a truncated-prefix recompute: re-deriving the
final (killed) entries on a data prefix must match the full-run final entries on the overlap.
