Three MCP tools that drive MT5's own toolchain, complementing the Python signal
replay, so a strategy can go from indicator to executable EA and be verified:
- compile_ea — MetaEditor compile -> structured errors/warnings.
- run_strategy_tester — MT5's headless Strategy Tester (real spread/swaps/exec)
-> parsed metrics + the EA's OnTester() summary cross-check.
- signal_parity — mechanical bar-by-bar diff of two signal sets -> first
divergence (deterministic "did the port drift?" check).
Cross-platform: on Linux/macOS the tester runs through Wine (config path is
translated via winepath; `tester.portable` launches the terminal /portable for
installs that keep data beside the exe). No-op passthrough on native Windows.
Adds the tester: block to config.example.yaml and a README "Use it" section.
