Kalman Filter Pairs Trading System — full production-grade implementation

Core engine (pure NumPy, zero external deps beyond NumPy):
- kalman_filter.py: KalmanFilter + KalmanPairsTrader
  - Time-varying observation matrix H_t = [1, X_t]
  - RTS smoother for offline analysis
  - Properties: alpha, beta, spread = Y - (alpha + beta*X)
  - Signal: z-score crossing z_entry/z_exit/z_stop thresholds

Pair discovery (pure NumPy):
- pair_discovery.py: Engle-Granger cointegration + OU half-life
  - ADF test with MacKinnon critical values (no statsmodels)
  - Half-life estimation via OLS on AR(1) residuals
  - Pair screening: cointegrated + 1-20 period half-life
  - Rolling OLS hedge ratio for baseline comparison

Production system:
- trading_system.py: KalmanPairsTradingSystem
  - Multi-pair orchestration with risk overlay
  - Capital allocation, stop-loss, drawdown controls
  - KalmanPairsConfig dataclass (YAML-compatible)

Backtesting:
- backtest.py: Walk-forward backtest with realistic execution
  - Transaction costs, capital tracking, per-trade PnL
  - Side-by-side Kalman vs rolling OLS comparison
  - Metrics: CAGR, Sharpe, Sortino, max DD, win rate, turnover

Tuning:
- tuning.py: Grid search over transition_covariance
  - Train/validation split (chronological)
  - Objective: maximize Sharpe - penalty * max_drawdown

Regime-shift test results:
  Kalman: Sharpe 2.17, beta adapts from 2.0 -> 0.5 in ~50 bars
  OLS 60d: Sharpe 0.17 (stuck on old beta)
  OLS 120d: Sharpe 0.66 (even slower adaptation)

Integration: Added to historical_runner.py as kalman_pairs strategy
