feat(resistance-v2): age-banded supply histogram (lever f, default-off)

[dayfine]

What it does

resistance-v2 lever (f), the age-banded supply histogram (sketch v3, user-approved 2026-07-19). Replaces the age-blind trailing-130w Res_hist histogram with a 20 price-bucket × 4 age-band histogram (age bands 0-26w / 26-78w / 78-130w / 130-520w), 80 band-major Res_hist columns. Supply should decay with AGE (old bag-holders capitulate) and the 130-520w band makes old supply MEASURED rather than only floored by the max-high horizons.

• Schema (snapshot_schema): Res_hist is now n_hist_cells = n_age_bands(4) * n_hist_buckets(20) = 80 columns, band-major (cell k = age band k/20, price bucket k mod 20). Width 37 → 97; schema hash bumps as intended.
• Pipeline (resistance_sketch): the histogram window extends to 520 weekly bars and each weekly bar is tagged into its age band by age relative to the row (partial week = age 0).
• Scoring (Resistance_supply): four config.band_weight_* fields ([@sexp.default 1/1/1/0]) collapse the bands into one effective histogram at score time — NOT a build-time decay half-life, so the decay is an Overlay_validator axis family (no warehouse rebuild per value).

Default bit-identical (experiment-flag-discipline R1/R2)

Default weights [1;1;1;0] sum the three 0-130w bands (which union to the pre-lever-f 130w window) and ignore the 130-520w band, reproducing the old age-blind histogram bit-identically (integer counts; adding 0.0 / multiplying by 1.0 is exact). Pinned by test_default_collapse_sums_recent_bands (a band-split sketch scores identically to the same mass packed legacy-style) and test_stale_band_inert_at_default; the mechanism is proven live by test_stale_band_weight_activates. The floors staircase is untouched. Each band weight is a real Resistance_supply.config sub-field (searchable, same wiring as the existing floors) and carries [@sexp.default] so a pre-lever-f config sexp still round-trips (test_config_parses_without_band_weights).

v3 warehouse back-compat (no rebuild)

The warehouse reader (resistance_sketch_reader) detects width: a v4 warehouse carries all 80 cells and reshapes into 4 bands; a v3 warehouse carries only the 20 age-blind columns (probe of the last v4 cell fails), so the reader packs them into the youngest band via Resistance_supply.hist_bands_of_legacy — which under default weights scores identically. Daily_panels gates each file against its own manifest schema (not Snapshot_schema.default), so v3 warehouses still load. Existing v3 warehouses keep working with NO rebuild (test_read_sketch_v3_width_packs_youngest_band). dune runtest is green on the affected suites with no snapshot fixture rebuilt.

Warehouse v4 rebuild DEFERRED

Per the dispatch, this PR lands code only; the schema-hash bump requires a full v4 warehouse rebuild which is gated on the pending bundle verdict. Existing v3 warehouses stay in service.

Test plan

• test_snapshot_schema: layout constants (20/4/80), n_fields = 97, all_fields / field_name span n_hist_cells.
• test_resistance_sketch: age-band separation (an age-~200w spike lands in band 3, recent bands empty); test_histogram_buckets reproduced by summing bands.
• test_resistance_supply: default collapse = legacy, stale band inert at default, stale-band weight activates the score, sexp back-compat, is_clear_of_supply ignores the stale band.
• test_resistance_sketch_reader: v4 (80-cell) reshape + v3 (20-cell) width fallback.
• test_snapshot width assertion delegated to n_fields default.

Ran the affected test dirs green (resistance, snapshot_pipeline, stock_analysis, data_panel/snapshot, strategy, snapshot/gen, snapshot_runtime, backtest/scenarios); full dune build green. The full-suite dune runtest repeatedly wedged the dune daemon against the concurrent multi-hour sweep in the container, so the full suite is left to CI.

Structural QC — resistance-v2-age-bands

Summary

PR #2015 implements resistance-v2 lever (f): the age-banded supply histogram, replacing the age-blind 130w Res_hist histogram with a 20 price-bucket × 4 age-band histogram (80 band-major Res_hist columns). The mechanism lands default-off per experiment-flag-discipline, with backward-compatible v3 warehouse support via width-detection fallback.

Builds: dune build @fmt PASS, dune build PASS (ran targeted test dirs: resistance, snapshot_pipeline, stock_analysis, data_panel/snapshot, strategy, snapshot/gen). Full dune runtest wedged against concurrent sweep in container (expected; CI is authoritative for full lint suite).

CI Status: build-and-test FAIL (nesting linter; see below), perf-tier1-smoke PASS.

Experiment-Flag-Discipline Audit (R1/R2)

R1 — Default-off: ✓ PASS

• New config fields band_weight_0_26w, band_weight_26_78w, band_weight_78_130w, band_weight_130_520w all carry [@sexp.default] values.
• Defaults are 1.0 / 1.0 / 1.0 / 0.0 = pre-lever-f no-op (summing three 0-130w bands reproduces age-blind 130w histogram bit-identically).
• Verified by test_default_collapse_sums_recent_bands and test_config_parses_without_band_weights (sexp back-compat).

R2 — Searchable (real config fields): ✓ PASS

• All four band weights are fields in Resistance_supply.config (not hardcoded).
• Comments state "Each band weight is an [Overlay_validator] axis (a real [config] sub-field), so the age decay is searchable without a warehouse rebuild."
• No mechanism gated by anything other than config fields.

R3 — Promotion needs ledger ACCEPT: ✓ NA

• Defaults unchanged (no promotion); mechanism remains default-off as an axis.

Known Collateral

dump_snap.ml callout (not a blocker, noted in PR body):
The PR docstring notes that dump_snap.ml still iterates n_hist_buckets (the old age-blind cell count) and will dump only band-0 of a v4 warehouse until updated. This is acknowledged as deferred follow-up work (utilities layer, not core functionality). Confirm it does not crash:

# From the prompt notes:
# "Known deferred follow-up (NOT a finding blocker, but confirm it builds): `dump_snap.ml` still iterates `n_hist_buckets` so dumps only band-0 of a v4 warehouse."

Checked: the affected test dirs build green. The full suite includes this binary; CI will confirm it doesn't break (test_snapshot.ml delegates width assertion to n_fields default).

NEEDS_REWORK Items

P1: Nesting linter failure in live_resistance_sketch.ml

• Finding: CI build-and-test reports nesting linter failure on trading/weinstein/snapshot/gen/lib/live_resistance_sketch.ml line 10, function _sketch_at: max nesting depth 7, which exceeds the limit.
• Location: trading/weinstein/snapshot/gen/lib/live_resistance_sketch.ml:10–24, the _sketch_at function
• Root Cause: The function contains two nested Array.init closures (to reshape the column-major histogram into age-band-major layout), and the inner lambdas combined with the record literal constructor create too many nesting levels.
• Required Fix: Extract the inner histogram-reshape logic to a helper function, or refactor to a lower-nesting approach (e.g., imperative loop or a higher-order helper). Example:

  let _reshape_histogram ~hist ~i ~n_bands ~n_buckets =
    Array.init n_bands ~f:(fun band ->
        Array.init n_buckets ~f:(fun bucket ->
            hist.((band * n_buckets) + bucket).(i)))
  
  let _sketch_at ~arrays ~bars ~i : Resistance_supply.sketch =
    let n_bands = Resistance_supply.n_age_bands in
    let n_buckets = Array.length arrays.hist / n_bands in
    {
      Resistance_supply.max_high_130w = arrays.max_high_130w.(i);
      (* ... other fields ... *)
      hist_bands = _reshape_histogram ~hist:arrays.hist ~i ~n_bands ~n_buckets;
      anchor_close = bars.(i).Types.Daily_price.close_price;
    }

• harness_gap: LINTER_CANDIDATE — the nesting linter is deterministic and catches this precisely. No inference needed; the fix is mechanical.

Verdict

NEEDS_REWORK

The nesting linter failure must be fixed before merge. All other structural checks (build, targeted tests, format, architecture, experiment-flag-discipline R1/R2, test-pattern conformance) are PASS/FLAG as noted.

Once the nesting refactor is complete and CI build-and-test passes green, qc-behavioral should review (flagged A1 for strategy module integration generalizability).

Structural QC — resistance-v2-age-bands (Rework Review)

Rework Verification

Fix commit 175512f extracted the nested histogram reshape into a helper function _hist_bands_at in trading/weinstein/snapshot/gen/lib/live_resistance_sketch.ml.

Diff read confirms:

• ✓ Extracted helper _hist_bands_at holds the two nested Array.init closures (lines 8–13)
• ✓ Proper naming: _hist_bands_at follows internal-helper convention, descriptive of its purpose
• ✓ _sketch_at now calls the helper via a flat record field assignment (line 24), reducing its nesting depth
• ✓ Scope: only one file touched, +14/−11 lines (minimal, mechanical change)
• ✓ No new violations introduced: helper is properly documented, no magic numbers, no scope creep

Build agent linter report: OK: nesting linter — all 4127 functions within limits (targeted linting pass post-rework).

Schema layout (20/4/80, n_fields=97, band-major, hash bump) → test_snapshot_schema (equal_to (20,4,80), n_fields = 97, hash-change test).
CP2	Each PR-body "Test plan" claim has a corresponding committed test	PASS	Every advertised test exists: test_snapshot_schema (layout constants), test_resistance_sketch age-band separation (test_age_bands_separate_old_supply) + test_histogram_buckets, the five test_resistance_supply cases (default collapse, stale inert, stale weight activates, sexp back-compat, is_clear ignores stale), test_resistance_sketch_reader v4 reshape + v3 width fallback. No advertised-but-absent test.

Behavioral Checklist (Weinstein domain)

#	Check	Status	Notes
A1	Core-module modification is strategy-agnostic (qc-structural FLAGged)	PASS	resistance_sketch_reader.ml lives in trading/trading/weinstein/strategy/lib/ — the WEINSTEIN strategy subtree (its home turf), NOT the shared trading/trading/strategy/ core module, so no Weinstein logic leaks into a strategy-agnostic path. The FLAG was path-string-triggered ("strategy"). The width-detection heuristic (probe Res_hist (n_hist_cells-1); present ⇒ v4/80-cell reshape, absent ⇒ v3/20-cell legacy pack) is a clean binary discriminator: the only two warehouse widths in existence are 20 (v3) and 80 (v4), strictly different, with no third schema width to alias against. Robust and correctly Weinstein-scoped.
S1–S6	Stage definitions / buy criteria	NA	Scoring-infrastructure lever; no stage classifier or buy/sell-signal logic touched.
L1–L4	Stop-loss rules / state machine	NA	No stop logic touched.
C1–C3	Screener cascade / macro / sector	NA	No screener cascade touched.
T1–T4	Stage/stop/macro test coverage	NA	Domain scenario rows not applicable to a resistance-scoring lever.

Faithfulness (weinstein-faithful-core W1/W2, experiment-flag-discipline R1/R2): spine intact (no change to stage framework, Stage-2-only entry, volume confirmation, stops, or macro gate). The mechanism is a faithful DIAL on the overhead-resistance measurement — age-decay of overhead supply ("old bag-holders capitulate", weinstein-book-reference.md §overhead resistance / base analysis). Default 1/1/1/0 reproduces pre-lever-f behavior bit-identically (R1 default-off), each weight is a real Resistance_supply.config sub-field wired for the Overlay_validator axis surface (R2 searchable). R3 (promotion) N/A — no default flipped. Warehouse v4 rebuild correctly DEFERRED; v3 back-compat holds with no rebuild (reader width detection + Daily_panels per-file manifest gating).

Purity: Resistance_supply remains a pure function of plain floats (sketch/config/breakout_price → result), no snapshot dependency — n_age_bands is pinned equal to Snapshot_schema.n_age_bands by test rather than imported, preserving the layering. Confirmed.

Quality Score

5 — Reference-quality contract pinning: default bit-identical proven at both the score layer (float-equal) and the pipeline layer (bit-identical), the lever proven live, all reader/schema guards and the v3 back-compat path exhaustively tested. Docstrings are exemplary. Clean, faithful, default-off.

Verdict

APPROVED

Note: at review time GitHub CI (build-and-test, perf-tier1-smoke) is still pending. This behavioral APPROVED is independent of CI; the merge gate still requires both CI checks green per .claude/rules/pr-merge-gates.md.
