Destroy pass — breakout_rr residual gates

Historical destroy pass on breakout_rr with rs_sector_resid. Full-sample DSR passes; bear 2022 and 2023 chop fail.

Setup: breakout_rr · gates rs_sector_resid · min_rr 2.0
Source: private report destroy_pass_20260827_063010

Rule used on the host: try to destroy the edge before confirming it — survive bear/chop, and DSR ≥ 0.95, or treat the edge as suspect.

Full-sample DSR passing does not mean the book is regime-proof. 2022 and 2023Q3 fail the destroy check. The Aug 27 breakout paper restart uses these gates anyway, with that failure in view.

Factor note (same day)

A PnL decomposition on 943 residual-gate trades vs SPY and vs SPY+XLK printed R² ≈ 0.011. The annualized-α number from that regression is not a CAGR and is not published here. Low R² is the usable sentence: this R stream is not mostly a hidden SPY/XLK bet.

Paper loop ≠ this 947-trade history.
