Subject: [PATCH] fix: parse backtest end date from period string with trailing
 paren
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Period format is "H4 (2024.12.25 - 2026.06.22)" — use regex to extract
the date before the closing paren instead of split+strip which fails on
the trailing ")".
