## Context RC1 currently uses `buy_block_glued_high_weak_rebound` as a quality-preserving hard veto. Historical evidence does not support globally relaxing this block, especially for `ql_rebound_weak_followthrough`. The requirement is to add a **minimal, isolated, reversible** research path: - day-0 remains blocked - selected subtype can be queued as pending in a probe branch - delayed reentry is allowed only after explicit confirmation ## Goals / Non-Goals **Goals** - Preserve RC1 default branch behavior exactly. - Keep `buy_block_glued_high_weak_rebound` hard block in default path. - Keep `ql_rebound_weak_followthrough` hard-blocked by default. - Add a branch-gated pending scaffold for followthrough research. - Make behavior locally testable. **Non-Goals** - Promote probe behavior to formal alpha. - Relax global veto in RC1. - Rework sell families in this phase. - Introduce a broad scoring framework. ## Decisions ### 1. Base path hard-veto remains unchanged Blocked signals still return `buy_block_glued_high_weak_rebound` on the current bar. Pending only records a candidate in probe branch. ### 2. Phase-1 pending subtype scope is narrow Only `mid_zone_very_weak_b1` is enabled in the probe branch by default. `high_zone_weak_b1` and `ql_rebound_weak_followthrough` remain disabled. ### 3. Confirmation requires explicit repair Probe reentry requires all of: - at least one bar waited - no sell cross - `ql_buy=True` - `close > signal_close` - `b1 - signal_b1 >= threshold` ### 4. Keep pending implementation isolated New glued pending logic is isolated in a dedicated module and dedicated strategy-context fields; no merge with deep-oversold module. ## Risks / Trade-offs - [No immediate performance gain] acceptable; this phase targets structure and observability first. - [Default-path drift] mitigated by hash regression and golden regression tests. - [Probe path overreach] mitigated by strict branch-level config gating. ## Migration Plan 1. Add config flags + probe branch config. 2. Add glued followthrough confirmation module. 3. Wire pending lifecycle in strategy facade (queue/confirm/clear). 4. Register new reason family mapping. 5. Add shadow branch to daily pipeline list. 6. Add tests and run full validation. ## Rollback Plan If any RC1 default regression appears, revert: - probe branch config entry - glued pending fields and strategy hooks - glued followthrough module - daily pipeline shadow branch registration RC1 default behavior must remain unchanged after rollback.
