+The live daily pipeline runs the R:R scan **before** Outcome Eval. A trade that

+after the full scan—was therefore still open when the day's gate observation

+subsequent full scan.

+The study simulator closes positions before checking same-session re-entry
+state, so its normal `gate_reset` arm can count the stop-day close. At this first
+transition boundary, current live ordering is instead analogous to
+`strict_gate_reset`. The distinction is material: the strict full-period row
+recorded Sharpe 1.68, CAGR 44.8%, and 23.4% drawdown; its disjoint 2025+ row
+recorded Sharpe 1.38, CAGR 32.9%, and 21.0% drawdown. The selected normal-reset
+result (Sharpe 1.77) is therefore policy-study evidence, not exact live
+scheduler-order parity. Changing that ordering would be a separate production
+decision.
