agent_panel.verdict_source defaults to "macro": the macro take's stance is the
verdict, the synthesizer call is skipped (4 LLM calls per panel instead of 5);
"chair" restores the four-voice consensus + OPPOSE guard. Verdict source is
cached per mode and logged (panel_verdict_source). 406 tests.

Add panel_verdict, panel_confidence, panel_rationale, panel_takes_json
columns to the signals table (additive, idempotent ALTER TABLE migration
for existing DBs). _report_row now reads the panel fields attach_panel
writes onto the SignalReport, so LLM panel verdicts stop evaporating on
process exit. Also documents the Oanda re-pin (round_trip_cost stays
$0.30 for cross-book comparability and the live TP gate; $0.65 is the
measured headline) and adds the feed-divergence / parity / shadow-scan
study tooling referenced by CLAUDE.md.
New signal_log.py logs each SignalReport to logs/signals.db via a
fail-safe hook in SignalAggregator.analyze_pair — the live-only entry
point used by the bot, daemon, CLI and dashboard. Backtester calls
analyze_from_dataframes directly, so live==backtest parity is preserved
(test-locked). Rows carry signal/grade/price/spread, MTF + trade-setup +
reasons/warnings JSON, and news-at-scan-time (calendar events + scored
headlines JSON via NewsEngine class-level caches).
Config: signal_log block (enabled, path; env SIGNAL_LOG_ENABLED/PATH),
source tagged per consumer (telegram/oanda_daemon/cli/dashboard).
381 tests pass (24 modules).
