Remove dead code: legacy config fields, unused helpers/imports, stray files

- Delete test_ws_dual.py (standalone probe, unused) and a stale tracked log
- config.py: drop MarketSession enum, is_jpy_pair, candle_buffer_seconds,
  and the never-read legacy SignalConfig/XauStrategyConfig fields
- data_provider.py: drop uncalled get_latest_price/get_spread_estimate
- Remove unused imports (engine, telegram_bot, main, news_engine)
- test_all.py: drop/trim the corresponding defaults assertions (199 tests)
- CLAUDE.md updated to match

Zero behavior change: no production code read any removed field
(verified reference-by-reference); suite green at 199/199.

### FilterConfig (`config.backtest` — despite the name it applies LIVE too)
`session_filter=True`, window 03:00–23:00 UTC, `blocked_hours_utc` mirrors XAU's list (non-XAU pairs read this copy), `allowed_weekdays` Mon–Fri+Sun. `regime_filter=False` (optional H4-ADX≥25 gate, off).
### PlatformConfig (top level)
`symbol="XAU/USD"`, primary TF H1, confirmations [M15, H4], `data_lookback_days=60`, `scan_pairs=[XAUUSD]` (mirrors config.json `scanning.pairs` — see below), `scan_timeframes=[M5,M15,H1,H4]`, `candle_buffer_seconds=10`, `ws_cooldown_seconds=300`.
`symbol="XAU/USD"`, primary TF H1, confirmations [M15, H4], `data_lookback_days=60`, `scan_pairs=[XAUUSD]` (mirrors config.json `scanning.pairs` — see below), `scan_timeframes=[M5,M15,H1,H4]`, `ws_cooldown_seconds=300`.
Per-pair base blocked hours plus `scan_pairs`/`scan_timeframes` overlay from config.json via `app_config.apply_pair_overrides`, applied in the pair factory BEFORE per-TF deltas. Credentials, alert quality, and log level never touch `PlatformConfig` — `telegram_bot.py` and `data_provider.py` read them directly from `app_config.get_app_config()` and its resolvers. `scanning.pairs` in config.json is the deployment switch for what the bot scans — `PlatformConfig.scan_pairs` just carries the resolved value.

7. **Don't zero/disable indicators via config in production paths** — `disabled_indicators` exists for experiments; composite thresholds assume the full set.
8. **The forming candle must stay dropped** and analysis must only ever see closed bars, or live signals repaint.
9. Keep `test_all.py` green (`python test_all.py`); extend it for every new gate/knob.
10. Legacy/no-op config fields exist (flagged above) — do not build new logic on them; delete only with test updates.
10. Dead/legacy config fields were removed 2026-07-21 (`MarketSession`, `is_jpy_pair`, `candle_buffer_seconds`, the unused `SignalConfig`/`XauStrategyConfig` legacy knobs). Do not add config fields that nothing reads; delete dead fields only with test updates.
