v5.6: Thursday wind-down + Friday shadow metric

Wind-down (Thu 19:00 server = Thu noon ET -> weekend close): cancel
entry pendings, no new grids, trail tightened to 200/150pts so open
positions walk out at their natural end instead of being chopped at the
midnight deadline. Hard close unchanged as backstop.

Shadow metric: first tick of each new server week, every EA reports what
its weekend-flattened positions would have done through Friday (MTM at
Friday's last H1 close + worst adverse excursion) — quantifies the cost
of the no-Friday policy from live data.
