Quickstart

This is the minimum path to inspect the active backtest harness.

1. Validate The Active Manifest

Rscript scripts/dsambayes-backtest.R validate \
  --manifest .planning/research/pilot_manifest.yaml

This checks the active pilot manifest, dataset contract, repo paths, and fold schedule.

2. Inspect The Planned Run Matrix

Rscript scripts/dsambayes-backtest.R plan \
  --manifest .planning/research/pilot_manifest.yaml

This prints the planned repo-by-fold run surface.

3. Do A Dry Run

Rscript scripts/dsambayes-backtest.R run \
  --manifest .planning/research/pilot_manifest.yaml \
  --dry-run

This writes run-scoped result directories and status artifacts without fitting the external repos.

4. Inspect The Current Worked Example

The completed _st engineering example is under:

results_engineering_m1_st_full/_st/engineering_m1_st_scale_false/
run_id=20260407T211743.943118Z__all-repos__all-folds__live/

Key summary files:

• summary/holdout_summary.csv
• summary/parameter_stability_summary.csv
• summary/recommendation_stability_summary.csv

5. Read The Report

See:

• ../reports/DSAMbayes_backtest_report/main.pdf

That report is the current compact worked example for the library.
