Kill Switch
Hardcoded 4-tier risk halt. T0 = manual emergency stop · T1 = correlation shock (≥2σ) · T2 = VaR breach (1d 99% > 5% NAV) · T3 = composite (any 2 of VaR / correlation / drawdown-velocity / prescience-unanimity). Methodology
engine/kill-switch.js, engine/var.js, engine/correlation-shock-detector.js, engine/drawdown-velocity.js, engine/prescience-unanimity.js shipped + tested.
Spec: docs/black-swan-playbook-2026-04-28.md.
Deferred: cockpit hookup + history persistence (see docs/kill-switch-cockpit-integration-2026-04-28.md).

Recommended actions
User-initiated only. The kill-switch never auto-executes.
- No action required.
Emergency override
Double-confirm: liquidate all positions and sweep to cash?
This will: cancel all open orders → flatten all positions → sweep to cash → disable all strategies → persist attestation. Action is logged. T0 attestation will be written to the decision journal.
