feat: creative alpha models + portfolio layer targeting Sharpe > 1.5

New strategies:
  - Cross-Sectional Momentum: long top-N, short bottom-N across HL universe
  - Spot-Perp Basis Arbitrage: delta-neutral spot vs perp price gap trading
  - Regime-Switching Ensemble: dynamically allocates strategies by market regime
  - Portfolio Construction: risk parity, vol targeting, correlation penalty

Infrastructure:
  - DuckDBDataProvider: real tick/candle data for backtests (replaces synthetic)
  - Walk-Forward Validation: systematic IS/OOS across all 12 strategies
  - 3 Jupyter research notebooks (EDA, strategy research, portfolio)

Pipeline integration:
  - deploy.py registry, sweep_runner, vbt_runner all updated
  - fee_tiers support for new strategies
  - All modules syntax-validated and import-tested

+1. **Asset universe**: BTC dominates volume; ETH, SOL, HYPE are the next most liquid. Use 3-6 assets for cross-sectional strategies.
+2. **Return distributions**: Crypto returns are leptokurtic (fat tails) — expect black swans. Size positions accordingly.
+3. **Correlations**: BTC/ETH correlation ~0.7. Most alts >0.5 correlated with BTC. True diversification is hard.
+4. **Regime frequency**: NORMAL dominates but HIGH_VOL regime provides the best trading opportunities.
+5. **Fee hurdle**: At Tier 0, a round-trip costs ~0.09%. This means a 1bps edge is enough for a single tick, but barely. We need 2-5bps edges minimum for consistent profitability. At higher tiers, the bar drops significantly.
+6. **DuckDB data**: Enables sub-second queries on tick-level data. Essential for Hurst/VPIN and microstructure strategies.

+Spot-Perp Basis Arbitrage — delta-neutral strategy exploiting spot/perp price gaps.
+
+Hyperliquid has both spot and perpetual futures markets for most assets.
+The spot price and perp price should converge at settlement, but the perp
+can trade at a premium (contango) or discount (backwardation) to spot.
+
+Strategy:
+  - When perp > spot + threshold: short perp, long spot
+  - When perp < spot - threshold: long perp, short spot
+  - Hold until basis converges or funding arbitrage overwhelms
+
+Key advantages:
+  - Delta-neutral (market-neutral)
+  - Low correlation to other strategies
+  - Capital-efficient (spot + perp use separate collateral on HL)
+  - Combinable with funding arb (earn funding while holding basis trade)
+
+Data needed:
+  - Hyperliquid spot mid price
+  - Hyperliquid perp mark price
+  - Perp funding rate (for combined carry trade)
