Production strategy change based on the July 2026 backtest: paper trades now default to a 30-trading-day hold with the initial stop (classic momentum hold-and-rerank), while target and trailing exits remain available in Admin. The exit policy API/UI now carries hold_days and close_reason can be 'time'.
The activation confidence floor default is now 0/off because the gate ablation showed it added no per-trade edge while filtering out usable setups. Migration 015 clears stored activation_min_confidence and paper_exit_mode so the new defaults take effect; this intentionally resets Track Record comparability from this deploy.
Verification: 451 backend tests pass, ruff check app/ clean, frontend npm run build clean.

Adds the validated-vs-not verdict table, the iron rule for strategy
changes, ranked next experiments, a maintainer guide (invariants, file
map, verification, roadmap), and corrects the deploy docs: deploys are
automated by Gitea Actions (push to main = deploy), service is
signalplatform.service at /opt/signalplatform.

- Add "How It Works": daily load (ordered pipeline steps), intraday flow,
other jobs, and the score -> activation gate -> top pick chain.
- Add "Key Use Cases" (find today's best long setup; track a paper trade).
- Fix stale facts: user-curated (not auto) watchlist, actual routes/pages,
scheduler description, wrong env defaults (RR 3.0->1.5, fundamentals
daily->weekly).
- Add missing surface: paper trading, activation gate, market regime, Telegram
alerts, backtest; API groups (paper-trades, market/regime, jobs); FRED +
Telegram env vars; note that pipeline timing is admin-cron, not env.
