Weights formed from close[t] now earn the t→t+1 return: forward returns
are computed on the full market calendar before selecting signal dates,
so a sparse signal grid earns the next available return rather than the
next signal date, and the final signal date (no forward return) is
dropped. Signal pct_change uses fill_method=None so suspended names do
not inherit stale prices.

Replace the old signal/strategy/backtest modules with a decoupled
data → alpha → combo pipeline (parquet between phases, .pq extension).
Alphas:
- BaseAlpha + @register_alpha factory/plugin registry; one file per
built-in (reversal, reversal_vol, momentum); external alphas via
--alpha-module. Alphas are z-scored position weights, not predictors.
Data:
- baostock primary / akshare fallback, treated consistently.
- New --universe all (~5000 A-shares via query_all_stock, filtered).
- login-once batch downloader; empty-string OHLCV coerced to NaN.
- Month-partitioned dataset {output_dir}/{universe}/month=YYYY-MM/*.pq
with chunked durability flushes; --data-path is the dataset dir.
CLI logs at INFO by default (--log-level) so progress is visible.
Docs (README, CLAUDE.md) updated incl. pipeline diagram and roadmap
TODOs for portfolio construction / backtest / paper trading.
