fix(auto-fixer): disable _fix_min_periods for intraday data

The fixer was raising min_periods to match window size, which causes
all-NaN output for intraday factors with 96 bars/day — window=240 means
zero valid bars per day, window=60 means 61% NaN per day. Critics were
consistently flagging this as incorrect for intraday factors. The LLM
now controls its own min_periods.
