The bottleneck on this project has never been the modelling - it is that
every hypothesis costs a compile, a deploy, an attach and a log read, and
answers exactly one question. Days have gone into questions that are
seconds of arithmetic once the data is in hand.
Adds a RESEARCH-ONLY build, gated behind WARRIOR_EXPORT_FEATURES and
never compiled into a shipped binary, which writes two things to
Common\Files\Warrior_EA\Research\ and then does nothing at all:
<symbol>_<tf>_features.csv - one row per bar: index, time, OHLC, ATR,
and the m_neuronsCount feature values. Exactly what the network sees.
The raw bars ride along on purpose: with OHLC and ATR offline, every
barrier geometry, horizon and in-trade target is recomputable without
MetaTrader in the loop.
<symbol>_<tf>_rates.csv - raw OHLCV across a grid of 8 symbols x 5
timeframes. The 26 engineered features only exist for the attached
chart (indicator handles bind to PERIOD_CURRENT); raw rates do not, so
ONE attach yields the whole research grid. The bar time also makes
session/hour/day-of-week derivable - the only inputs in play that are
not a transform of the same OHLCV series.
Safety, because this binary gets attached to a chart on a LIVE ACCOUNT to
reach real history:
- OnTick returns immediately, so Expert.OnTick() - the entire trading
path - is unreachable regardless of the AlgoTrading toggle, the
signal state or the inputs. Structurally incapable of sending an
order, not merely unlikely to.
- No config lock. It never trains and never saves a model, so it has
nothing to protect against a concurrent chart - and taking the lock
would make it refuse to start exactly when the config it wants to
read is already open, which is when it is most useful.

The corrected geometry scan exposed something bigger than the geometry
question it was asked. Every pairing from 2:6 upward came back CLAMPED -
including 2:6, the SHIPPED configuration.
First-passage time for a driftless walk leaving [-m,+k] goes as m*k, and
the measured swing median here is ~12 bars at m*k=1, so 2:6 wants ~144
bars and 3:10 wants ~360. The ladder stopped at 128. A clamped label
stops meaning "does the target come before the stop" and quietly becomes
"...within 128 bars", while the deployed EA holds until SL or TP with no
bar limit. So the target the models have been trained on all along was
not the strategy the EA executes, and the trades it silently reclassified
as Neutral were the SLOW WINNERS - precisely the ones a 1:3 barrier
exists to capture. Timeout share stayed ~0% throughout, which is why this
never showed up: the truncation lands in Neutral, not in the timeout
counter that was watching for it.
Ladder extended to 384 (12..128, 192, 256, 384) so every selectable
geometry gets an honest horizon. Cost is one embargo of at most 384 bars
out of ~38k.
Second fix, same class of error as the H(Y) one: the scan's "best
eligible" was 2:2, a 1:1 barrier, against a shipped Min_Risk_Reward_Ratio
of 1:2. Training four topologies on that target would have produced a
model whose every setup is rejected at the door - the exact failure
behind four consecutive Market rejections for "no trading operations".
Sub-minRR geometries are now ineligible and marked [<minRR], printed
rather than hidden.
Also drops the dense-depth tag from the display name ("Perceptron 3L" ->
"Perceptron"). Depth is derived, so it names nothing a user chose; the
config tag [PAI-0be2] already disambiguates concurrent charts and does it
for every input rather than one. Full topology still logged by "config -".
Compiles 0 errors / 0 warnings, standard and Market. Build tag
horizon-384-v1. Changes the LABEL for every geometry, so the next scan
supersedes the previous numbers - and a retrain is required before any
model trained under the truncated target means anything.

- Moves CLayer neuron construction to AI/Impl/Layer.mqh to keep Network.mqh clean
- Unifies four previously duplicated architecture initialisation blocks (MLP/CONV/LSTM/HYBRID) into a single shared function
- Eliminates risk of behavioural drift where one architecture missed a setter, causing mismatched feature sets or targets
