+"""Targeted offline study of a gate-conditioned initial-stop refresh.
+
+The study replays production entries only for the requested period. Whenever
+an initial stop is touched, it rebuilds that ticker's setup using bars through
+the previous close and recomputes the production momentum gate across the whole
+historical universe. If the gate still passes and the new setup has a lower
+valid stop, the simulator adopts it and checks it against the same day's low.
+
+This is causal: no value from the stop day's eventual close is used to cancel
+an intraday stop. The snapshot is read-only and no live settings are changed.

+"""Offline event study for stateful post-stop re-entry policies.

+Initial entries keep the validated weekly production cadence. After an initial
+stop, the affected ticker is evaluated on every subsequent daily close. This
+isolates the exact churn problem without changing the rest of the portfolio.
+All arms retain the hard stop, production position sizing, 3x ATR trail, and
