Scope

In scope

• A complete quantitative trading pipeline: data adapters (MT5/paper/gateway),

causal feature engineering (50D active contract; 60D/70D research family), deep model inference (ScalpNet TCN + self-attention), SMC policy matrix, invariant risk engine, execution with 60-scenario router, SQLite WAL accounting ledger, experience/autopsy intelligence, research & validation (walk-forward, OOS gate, robustness), replay and shadow runtimes, model governance, observability (structured logs, incidents, forensics, Telegram), FastAPI Control Center UI, packaged Windows release + installer + update/rollback.

• Multi-agent engineering memory: architecture map, bug ledger, runtime

invariants, contracts, taskboard, decision records — treated as first-class repository artifacts.

Out of scope (by design)

• Multi-broker support beyond the MT5 surface (Win32 IPC / ZMQ remote gateway /

paper simulator).

• Web/mobile trading frontends other than the bundled Control Center.
• Guaranteed profitability, signal selling, or managed accounts.
• Non-Windows packaged releases (Linux is developer/Docker via the remote

gateway adapter only; ARM64 is explicitly unsupported).

• Cloud SaaS deployment of the trading engine.

Adjacent systems (interfaces only)

• MetaTrader 5 terminal — external; the engine integrates through

IMT5Port adapters and refuses to start without a healthy terminal.

• News feeds (opt-in) — RSS/Atom ingestion with a bounded gate that can

never force a trade or bypass risk.

• Telegram — read-only observability channel (INV-010).
