Fix 1 — mixed-"trending" regime (ADX strong, EMAs unaligned) was hard-coded bullish in 5 sites: RSI reinterpretation used the uptrend playbook (RSI 38-55 -> STRONG_BUY conf 75), BUY-only confidence bonuses, BUY-only extension penalties, no counter-trend penalty. Now: extremes-only RSI (as transitioning), no directional bonuses, symmetric extension penalties. 6yr validation: H1 +67.2->+61.9R (mixed skew 16B/11S -> 4B/7S), H4 +31.6->+27.5R (the 4 bias BUYs), M15 +152.6->+154.7R, M5 +207.1->+206.1R with maxDD 28.7->24.3R. The ~8R aggregate give-back is bull-market subsidy from the bug. Fix 2 — live session filter now applies the EXACT replay-loop predicate (session window + blocked hours on the signal bar's CLOSE time, from the bar timestamp not wall clock). Replaces a wall-clock filter gated on a "XAU STRATEGY" marker that no code writes, which made live diverge from every validated book. Fix 3 — delete dead _check_xau_oversold_bounce and _generate_xau_trade_setup (unreachable; the latter hardcoded BUY and skipped the spread/RR gates). Backtester: parallel bar replay via forked workers (--workers, default auto = cores-2 capped 12). Per-bar evaluation is pure; the entry cooldown is applied in an ordered phase-2 pass. Proven byte-identical to sequential on the same window; ~300 -> 1030-1680 bars/s (6yr M5: ~26min -> 5-8min). --workers 1 = sequential path. Tests: 179 passed (new mixed-regime RSI regression test).
