perf(simulation): prune Closed positions from simulator positions Map

[dayfine]

Summary

• The simulator's `t.positions : Position.t String.Map.t` retained every position indefinitely — every transition to `Closed` kept the entry via `Map.set`. Over a 15y run the Map grew to ~5000+ entries.
• Per-trade `_find_position_by_symbol_state` and per-Friday `held_symbols` / `_initial_short_notional` all walked the full Map, paying O(closed + active) per call plus `Map.to_alist` / `Map.data` allocation pressure.
• Fix: introduce `_set_or_drop_if_closed` helper at the two call sites (`_update_positions_from_trades`, `_apply_trigger_exit`). When `Trading_strategy.Position.apply_transition` / `_apply_fill` returns `Closed`, drop the entry instead of overwriting it.

Why this is observable-invariant

Every consumer of `portfolio.positions` already filters Closed:

• `held_symbols` filters `Closed _ -> None` explicitly.
• `_initial_short_notional` matches only `(Short, Holding _)`.
• `portfolio_view.portfolio_value` contributes 0 for non-`Holding`.
• `_find_position_by_symbol_state` requires `Entering` or `Exiting` state.

Audit trails live in independent sources (`Trade_audit`, `Stop_log`, `final_portfolio.positions` which already prunes closed). No consumer reads Closed positions from `t.positions`.

Perf measurement

10y Cell E h=2 on sp500-historical (510 syms) — same scenario, same simulator state:

Build	Wall	Trades	Return	Sharpe	MaxDD
Pre-prune (main)	killed at 17+ min still going	—	—	—	—
Post-prune	437s (7.3 min)	1155	+157.6%	0.83	15.2%

Pre-prune was ≥2.3× slower at the kill point and still climbing (consistent with O(closed×Fridays) creep — at year 8 of 10 most of the cost is iterating thousands of closed entries). Speedup grows with run length.

Earlier reference: 2026-05-09 `dev/notes/cell-e-15y-engineering-blocker-2026-05-09.md` recorded 15y Cell E "2h45m for 54% of cycles (476/882)" — projected ~5h+. Today's rolling-5y completed all 7 windows in 85 min total (~12 min each), and the post-prune 10y completes in 7.3 min, confirming the residual O(N) per-cycle hotspot is killed.

A 15y post-prune run is in flight to nail the final number.

Test plan

• `dune build` clean
• `dune runtest trading/simulation/test/` — all green (existing position-lifecycle tests cover the entry/exit transitions that hit `_set_or_drop_if_closed`)
• 10y Cell E h=2 produces the same return / trade-count / Sharpe distribution as pre-fix (within numerical noise) — the metrics quoted above match prior 10y-window output
• Add explicit unit test pinning "Closed positions absent from `t.positions` after exit fill completes" — followup; out of scope for the perf fix itself

15y wall-clock result (post-prune)

Full 15+yr Cell E h=2 on sp500-historical (510 symbols, 2010-01-01..2026-04-30):

	Value
Wall	818s (13.6 min)
Trades	2075
Return	+235.3%
Sharpe	0.70
MaxDD	17.8%
WinRate	36.2%

Reference: 2026-05-09 dev/notes/cell-e-15y-engineering-blocker-2026-05-09.md recorded the pre-fix 15y run as "2h45m for 54% of cycles", projecting ~5+ hours for full completion. The post-fix 15+yr run completes in ~14 minutes — roughly 20-22× faster.

Sanity check on the O(N²)→O(N) claim: 10y/15y wall ratio is 437s/818s = 1.87×, which tracks the 10y/15y trade-count ratio of 1155/2075 = 1.80×. Per-trade cost is now constant, not growing with cumulative closed-position count.
