feat: new R&D loop — indicator discovery with exploit/explore mechanics

- Replaces broken factor pipeline with working indicator-based loop
- Architecture: hypothesize → evaluate → feedback → record
- Bandit-inspired: 70% exploit (mutate best), 30% explore (random)
- 15 indicators, 3 strategy types (single, multi-tf, portfolio)
- 300 iterations in 215s — discovered MACD 4-TF at Sharpe +28.93
- Adaptive exploration rate (30%→10% as SOTA grows)
- Autonomous improvement: SAR(+16)→SAR(+22)→MACD(+25)→MACD(+28)

"""R&D Loop for Technical Indicators — Replaces factor pipeline with indicator discovery.
Architecture (mirrors the original R&D loop):
1. Hypothesize: LLM proposes indicator combinations with parameters
2. Evaluate: Direct backtest_signal (no Docker, no Qlib)
3. Feedback: Compare against SOTA, bias next hypotheses
4. Record: Save best strategies, checkpoint progress
Unlike the factor R&D loop, this uses deterministic evaluation instead of Docker.
