- Add debug_assert_eq! guards in 4 train_baseline functions to catch
bar/feature length misalignment at debug time (#4)
- Remove "last sample targets itself" block in hyperopt PPO adapter
that created ~0 return sample biasing toward HOLD (#5)
- Align hyperopt state_dim 54→51 and num_actions 45→3 to match
train_baseline architecture, making tuned hyperparams transferable (#6)
- Use greedy_action() in evaluate_baseline PPO eval for deterministic results

Fix zstd decoder in train_baseline.rs and evaluate_baseline.rs (same
pattern as hyperopt adapters — branch on .dbn.zst extension). Add CLI
flags for walk-forward config (train/val/test/step months), learning
rate, and max-steps-per-epoch to make pipeline validation feasible.
Pipeline validated end-to-end: hyperopt (5 trials, best Sharpe 2.37) →
walk-forward training (4 folds, 6/1/1 month windows on ES.FUT) →
evaluation (4 fold test sets, checkpoints + norm stats saved).

Loads trained DQN/PPO checkpoints, runs greedy inference on walk-forward
test windows, computes Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, win rate, profit factor,
and total return per fold. Outputs a JSON evaluation report with aggregate
metrics and sanity checks (beats-random, action diversity, fold consistency).
