Status:                 RUNNING (started 2026-08-03 21:51 KST)
Progress:               ~1 hour elapsed, ~49+ days remaining
Window:                 253 trading days

☐ Check data quality (no gaps, no corruptions)
☐ Archive all metrics and logs
☐ Document any issues encountered
```

#### **Phase 2: PBO/DSR Metrics** ⏳ (5-10 days post-Phase 1)
```
Metrics to Validate:
  • PBO (Probability of Backtest Overfit):     Target < 50%
  • DSR (Daily Sharpe Ratio):                  Target > 0.9 annualized
  • OOS Bull Performance:                      Target DSR > 1.0
  • OOS Bear Performance:                      Target DSR > 0.5
  
Methodology:             CSCV (full) or Z-score (simplified, per DEBT-009)
Success Criteria:        All metrics exceed thresholds
Evidence:                /metrics/pbo_dsr_validation.md, data report
```

**Sign-Off Action:**
```
☐ Confirm Phase 2 metrics completed
☐ Verify PBO < 50% (or documented exception)
☐ Verify DSR > 0.9 annualized (or documented exception)
☐ Verify OOS performance acceptable across regimes

```

#### **Phase 3: Crash Recovery Rehearsal** ✅ (Partial, ongoing)
```
Status:                 COMPLETED (2/4 scenarios tested)
Results:
  • Hangfire Lock:      ✅ PASS (DEBT-015 verified)
  • Inbox Failure:      ✅ PASS (error handling validated)
  • Outbox Loss:        ⚠️ SKIP (data dependent - will re-test)
  • Conn Drop:          ⚠️ INFRA (harness issue, not code)
  
Verdict:                Core resilience mechanisms verified
Timeline:               Scenario 1 will be re-tested during Phase 1 (when data available)
Evidence:               /tests/PHASE_3_SUMMARY.md, execution logs
```

**Sign-Off Action:**
```
☐ Confirm Phase 3 Scenario 1 re-run completed (when outbox has data)

☐ Confirm all 4 scenarios now PASS (or justified exceptions)
☐ Validate crash recovery procedures work end-to-end
☐ Archive all test evidence
```

#### **Phase 4: Sign-Off** (10 hours, final)
