+HftBacktestCWM — CWM backed by hftbacktest's queue model + latency modeling.
+
+Architecture:
+  - Our OrderBookState remains the source of truth for book representation
+  - hftbacktest provides: ProbQueueModel (fill probability), latency modeling,
+    partial fill simulation
+  - transition() maps MALKHUT actions → hftbacktest events → fill results
+  - reward() stays the same MALKHUT reward function
+  - All planners, counterparty ecology, risk gate, CMA-ES unchanged
+
+The key insight: hftbacktest is designed for historical data replay, but its
+QUEUE MODEL and FILL SIMULATION are independently valuable. We feed it our
+synthesized book state and it tells us whether/how orders fill.

+ 10. CMA-ES training loop compatibility
+ 11. Parallel eval compatibility
+ 12. ScenarioFactory venue propagation
+ 13. PerformanceMatrix venue keying
+ 14. Stress testing: rapid actions, large orders, many levels
