+1. **HMM high-vol pause**: when the cross-sectional mean of ``sp_hmm_p_regime1``
+   (HMM high-vol regime probability) on the signal date is >= ``hmm_pause_pct``,
+   new buys are paused. The time-series study showed HMM high-vol probability
+   pulses BEFORE sharp moves (regime-change cut) — pausing new exposure at the
+   boundary reduces drawdown from price over-reaction.
+2. **Drawdown pause**: when the account equity drawdown from its running peak
+   exceeds ``drawdown_pause_pct``, new buys are paused. This is the
+   ``drawdown_pause_pct`` risk-limit expressed inside the backtest (the pure
+   executor-side gate is documented as not expressible in a one-shot backtest).
+3. **Liquidity floor**: names whose 20-day average daily dollar volume is below
+   ``liquidity_floor_adv`` are dropped from BUY candidates (the proven mitigant
+   from exp-18: $5M floor cut drawdown 7.9%->5.4% at higher IR).
