dennisthiessenandClaude Opus 5 f2ef8e5438 feat(backtest): make an incomplete run visibly incomplete
A snapshot whose schema predated a migration made every _fetch_columns call
raise, both dispatch paths caught the per-ticker exception and continued, and
the run wrote a report with zero candidates that was indistinguishable from an
honest run that found no setups. Nothing said the run had lost its universe.

run_backtest now builds a completeness ledger and emits it as
report["data_quality"]: expected / loaded / evaluated counts, per-symbol
failures with stage and reason, bar-less symbols named, and benchmark
availability. Every universe symbol lands in exactly one terminal bucket and
the arithmetic is checked, so a counter that stops being maintained reports
itself as a failure rather than under-counting quietly.

Benchmark availability is a separate axis: without SPY, residual 12-1 momentum
silently degrades to raw 12-1, and the report now says so instead of leaving it
in a log line.

Three statuses, because severity differs. "failed" (nothing evaluated, empty
universe, unbalanced ledger, missing benchmark) replaces the performance tiles
with the callout rather than warning above them — a banner over ordinary-looking
numbers is exactly how the zero-candidate run would still have read as a quiet
week. "degraded" keeps the tiles with a note. A report with no data_quality
block reads as unknown, not clean; defaulting old reports to complete would
reproduce the bug being fixed.

The same gate applies to the two other consumers of backtest numbers:
productionBaseRates returns null for a failed run, and EvaluationPanel will not
report drift against a broken baseline.

"complete" means the processing and coverage checks passed. It does not mean
the prices are correct — a complete run over silently wrong bars is still
complete, and the card says so.

Also threads an explicit terminal-events option through the replay, validated
before dispatch so a stale events file aborts the run instead of quietly
degrading it. Verified against a healthy snapshot (degraded, 505/506) and one
with tickers.cik dropped (failed, 0/506, 506 fetch failures).

"""Runner-level guard: a stale terminal-event map must abort the whole run.
``_replay_ticker`` rejects a mismatched date, but both dispatch paths in
``run_backtest`` swallow per-ticker exceptions so one unreadable symbol cannot
kill a long replay. That safety net would turn a wrong events file into a
quietly incomplete report, so the map is validated before any replay starts —
and the runner must therefore write no report at all.
