Both validated at the measured $0.65 spread on Oanda bars (12mo halves + PF, OOS 2024-06->2025-03, 5yr; full evidence in pair_signals/xauusd.py M5 overrides 4-5): - m5_pullback_enabled False on M5: loss forensics identified XAU_PB as the largest wrong-direction loss source; 12mo PF 1.26 (failing the acceptance bar) -> 1.44, max DD 23.9R -> 13.9R. PB code stays for future regime-gated experiments. - New TechnicalConfig.ema_partial_neutral (default False), True on M5 only: partial 4-EMA ribbon alignment (2-3 of 4 checks) scores NEUTRAL instead of a weak BUY/SELL (-0.008R/84 vs +0.230R/341 fully aligned). Squash mirrored in the backtester's precomputed EMA scorer in this same commit (live==backtest parity). 12mo +97.6R/556 PF 1.48 DD 10.7R halves +47.8/+49.8; 5yr +127.4R PF 1.38; OOS one-trade tie. - Rejected and logged (memory + docstring): hour-19 block (OOS fail), hours-14/15, trail dist 0.75, confirm-TF swaps incl M15+H4 (OOS ordering), divergence/candlestick weight changes, bollinger removal. - Tests 296 -> 302: partial-alignment fixture test, factory-equivalence mirrors, per-TF isolation test, BC-gate fixture force-enables PB.
