+VBT Post-Simulation Analysis — vectorized trade analysis and metrics.
+
+Uses VectorBT for analyzing MALKHUT's trade records after the engine
+produces results. This is an ANALYSIS tool, not an engine component.
+
+VBT is used here for:
+  - Trade record → performance metrics (Sharpe, Sortino, VaR, CVaR)
+  - Multi-asset equity curves and comparisons
+  - Parameter sensitivity visualization
+  - Portfolio-level risk analysis
+
+Usage:
