| SPY 200d-MA regime overlay (block entries / go flat) | **Reject** | Halves return (315%→138%) with zero drawdown benefit — the ATR trail already manages downside, and the filter blocks the recovery-phase entries that make the money |

| Selection cutoff {70, 75, 85, 90} × book size {10, 15, 20} | **Keep cutoff 80; capacity reopened** | The older weekly replay favored 80 × 10, but its no-cap-pressure conclusion is superseded by 519 book-full rejections versus 472 trades under the current daily gate-reset control |
| Position sizing: equal-weight, inverse-vol, risk-% sweep | **Keep 1% fixed-fractional** | See the inverse-vol warning below |
| Post-stop re-entry: immediate, fixed 2–5 sessions, gate resets, confirmation filters | **Keep normal gate reset for the 10-position production book** | Sharpe 1.77 vs 1.67 immediate and 1.47 cooldown 5; rerun before changing portfolio capacity |
| FIP path-smoothness as an in-book tie-breaker/filter | **Reject** (but see the lead below) | Non-monotonic across FIP quintiles within the qualified set; either half of a median split underperforms the full book — thinning the entry stream costs more compounding than the tilt returns |

Two findings future sessions must not re-litigate:
- **The "inverse-vol sizing win" (July 2026) was mis-attributed — do not resurrect.** The diagnostic sized `notional = equity × 1% / vol_6m`, and the 20% notional cap bound on 95% of entries, so it actually measured "~5 positions × 20% notional each" — a concentration/risk-appetite bump economically equivalent to raising risk to 1.5%, not vol-managed sizing. Genuine inverse-vol sizing (risk budget × median-vol/vol) cuts max drawdown to −18.2% but costs ~58pp total return at flat Sharpe: a risk-preference trade, not edge.
