backtesting

name	backtesting
description	The directional-specific half of backtesting — window sizing, the metric threshold table, parameter sweeps, and the out-of-sample go/no-go. The tool contract and the family-agnostic rules live in the shared `backtest_flow` skill.
when_to_use	After a controller config is uploaded, whenever you run, interpret, sweep, or compare backtests. Read this hub first, then pull the companion for the step you are on. Never deploy a config that has not passed the go/no-go here.
