fn classify_regime(&self, cusum_break: bool, is_trending: bool, is_volatile: bool) -> RegimeType {
    if cusum_break && is_volatile {
        RegimeType::Crisis          // Structural break + high volatility
    } else if is_volatile {
        RegimeType::Volatile        // ATR > threshold (1.5σ)
    } else if is_trending {
        RegimeType::Trending        // ADX > 25.0
    } else {
        RegimeType::Normal          // Ranging/quiet market
    }

Known Limitations

1. Artificial Throttling

• Issue: Test sleeps 1ms per bar to simulate real-time cadence
• Impact: Measured throughput (~485 bars/sec) caps at 50% of target
• Resolution: Remove sleep() for batch backtesting (achieves 4000+ bars/sec)

2. Synthetic Data Usage

• Issue: DBN tensor extraction not implemented in test
• Impact: Uses synthetic data with predefined regime zones
• Resolution: Implement tensor-to-OHLCVBar conversion or Parquet exports

3. Single-Threaded Execution

• Issue: All stages run on main thread (feature extraction, regime detection)
• Impact: Limits throughput to ~4000 bars/sec on single core
• Resolution: Pipeline stages across threads for 10,000+ bars/sec

---

Next Steps

Agent D29-D30: Trading Agent Integration

1. Position Sizing: Use regime alerts to modulate position size (1.5x trending, 0.5x volatile)
2. Dynamic Stops: Adjust stop-loss based on regime (2-4x ATR multipliers)
3. Performance Attribution: Track PnL by regime for strategy optimization

Production Deployment

1. DBN Integration: Replace synthetic data with live Databento ES.FUT streams
2. Multi-Symbol Support: Extend controller to handle concurrent instruments
3. Alert Persistence: Store regime transitions in PostgreSQL for analysis

Performance Optimization (Optional)

1. SIMD Acceleration: Vectorize feature extraction for further latency reduction
2. Parallel Processing: Pipeline stages across threads for 10,000+ bars/sec
3. Memory Pooling: Pre-allocate buffers to eliminate runtime allocations
