Deep audit fixes: A-S gamma scaling + Mean Rev window

1. A-S reservation price now uses gamma*500000 scaling.
   Before: bash.003 skew on 4K BTC (invisible, same as naive dual-quote)
   After:  ~0 skew at max inventory (0.05% of mid — enough to suppress one side)

2. Mean Reversion: 20-tick → 60-tick window, threshold 1.0σ → 0.5σ.
   20 seconds of 1s ticks is noise, not mean-reverting.
   60 seconds captures real short-term reversion dynamics.

Fill attribution verified: BTC sizes differ by 50 μBTC, ETH by 0.0025 — all above matching tolerance.
Orderbook null guards present — no crash on failed fetch.
