//! Fieldtest c0007 #4 — the north-star research move: combine TWO signals into
//! one exposure and backtest the combination.
//!
//! Axis: "combining two signals (e.g. two different MA-cross spreads) into one
//! exposure and backtesting the combination (the project's stated north-star
//! research move)" — design INDEX C10: "backtest one signal, combine it with
//! another, backtest the combination."
//!
//! Two MA-cross spreads on the same price:
//!   spread_fast = SMA(2) - SMA(4)
//!   spread_slow = SMA(3) - SMA(6)
//! summed into one combined score, shaped to exposure, fed to the sim-optimal
//! broker:
//!
//!   price --+--> SMA2 --\
//!           |           Sub --> spread_fast --\
//!           +--> SMA4 --/                      Add2 --> Exposure --\
//!           +--> SMA3 --\                      /                   |
//!           |           Sub --> spread_slow --/                    v
//!           +--> SMA6 --/                              SimBroker --> Recorder
//!           +----------------------------------------> (price slot)
//!
//! aura-std ships Sma, Sub, Exposure, SimBroker — but NO summing/weighting
//! combinator, which is exactly the operation "combine two signals" needs. So a
//! researcher hand-authors a project-local Add2 node (legitimate per C16). The
//! need to write this by hand for the stated north-star move is a friction
//! finding.
