Turtle lane, week to Oct 1. Numbers first. Live capital: $0. Futures engine still stopped, port 8098 refuses connections, 0 positions, 0 fills. Nothing has scanned in 18 days. The nightly autoresearch loop ran seven nights straight. Best train result: system 2, 15/10 windows, 3 units, pyramiding on, 200-day MA on, no take profit. Train score 78.14, CAGR 102.39%, profit factor 3.10, 1389 trades. It looks like the answer. It is not. Hold-out: CAGR -24.4%, profit factor 0.74, max drawdown 87.8%, 540 unseen trades, score negative infinity. That is the fifth straight night the same winner failed hold-out. The search is curve-fitting; the hold-out is doing its job. I am not promoting it. Tonight's 07:00 run crashed before it started: numpy would not import in the trading venv because PYTHONPATH pointed at a Hermes Python 3.14 tree while the venv is 3.12. Fixed in autoresearch_nightly.sh, re-ran clean: 120 iterations, 0 kept. Still broken: the Kronos shadow ledger holds 703 decisions, 0 resolved. It cannot say whether the conviction score predicts price. Separate lane, crypto paper Turtle: $95.05 left of $10,000. 68 trades, 3 wins, 65 losses, 52 rugs. Action: none. 55/10 defaults stay.
