jgrusewski 244ccaaf0b feat(harvest): premium-harvesting tested — simple 60/40 beats the sophisticated system ...

The strategy class we never tried: harvest structural premia + risk system, not predict.
Diversified futures + risk-parity/vol-target/trend; clean 5-asset-class version (ES/ZN/GC/CL/BTC).
Result: plain 60/40 (Sharpe +0.72, 2010-2026) BEATS risk-parity+vol-target (+0.46) and RP+trend
(+0.33, trend hurts); 5-asset+crypto RP only ties 60/40 and loses to buy-hold equity. Meta-pattern
now complete in BOTH games: simple beats/equals sophisticated in prediction AND harvesting.
Constructive deliverable: a simple premium harvest (60/40 / risk-parity) IS a real deployable
robust strategy (~0.5-0.72 Sharpe, low DD, no prediction, minimal complexity). The engine's
sophistication was never the return-generator -- deployable path is light (harvest + risk overlay),
engine's value is infra/discipline/product. (Also: CAISO intraday gate blocked by OASIS plumbing.)
