Three orthogonal fixes for residual issues in smoke stx9p (97 zero
sentinels, 85 i32::MAX sentinels, 840/1024 over-60s holds):
Fix 1 — zero-sentinel residue (px > 0):
- Per-level sanitization in apply_snapshot_kernel only checked sz > 0.
- A book level with px=0, sz>0 passed → walk_* computed total_cost=0
→ avg_px=0 → vwap_entry=0. Trade record reported entry_px=0.
- Add px > 0.0f to bid_ok/ask_ok conditions.
Fix 2 — i32::MAX upper bound (px < 1e8):
- Post-Bug-D (1e9 nanoprice scaling) some boundary events carried prices
larger than any plausible instrument. Saturating cast to i32 produced
the 21474836 sentinel even when isfinite() passed.
- Add px < 1.0e8f upper bound to per-level AND top-of-book validation.
Fix 3 — session-gap force-close:
- max_hold check fires at decision_stride frequency, but during weekend
halts no events advance current_ts → max_hold never fires until next
session. Result: 49h holds in stx9p (840/1024 over 60s threshold).
- Detect ts gap > 1 hour in resting_orders_step. If position is open,
zero position_lots directly. pnl_track_step's existing close branch
emits the TradeRecord on the next call. No synthetic P&L added —
records show realised_pnl from whatever was accumulated before the gap
(honest: cannot fill across a halt).
- New per-backtest last_event_ts_d slot tracks the previous event ts.
- Test session_gap_force_closes_open_positions: 2-hour ts jump after
open verifies force-flat fires and exactly 1 TradeRecord is emitted.
All 16 stop_controller tests pass. All 5 decision_floor_coldstart pass.
