+# TICKET-045: Wire Portfolio value-history into SimulationRunner; retire ad-hoc Sharpe/ROI
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Date:** 2025-08-16
+**Cycle:** 36
+**Priority:** Medium
+**Issue:** https://github.com/belarusian/alloc/issues/111
+
+## Summary
+
+`alloc/models/portfolio.py` now tracks `portfolio_values` and exposes
+`calculate_returns()` (daily / cumulative / annualized / Sharpe / max-drawdown)
+and `calculate_portfolio_statistics()`. However, `SimulationRunner` in
+`alloc/core.py` never calls `record_value()`, so the history stays at its
+single seeded entry and the new methods are dead code in the live path.
+Meanwhile `core.py` still computes Sharpe and ROI ad-hoc.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- `alloc/models/portfolio.py` — `Portfolio.__init__` seeds
+  `self.portfolio_values = [float(initial_cash)]`; `record_value()` appends.
+- `alloc/core.py` — `SimulationRunner.run()` builds `portfolio_values` as a
+  local list (returned in `results["portfolio_values"]`) but never invokes
+  `portfolio.record_value(...)`.
+- `alloc/core.py` — the `_trainer` closure recomputes Sharpe inline:
+  `daily_returns = np.diff(values) / np.maximum(values[:-1], 1e-8)` and
+  `sharpe_ratio = mean/std * sqrt(252)`, and ROI as
+  `(final_value - initial_value) / initial_value * 100`. These duplicate the
+  logic now centralised in `Portfolio.calculate_returns()`.
+
+## Impact
+
+- The seed-parity capability is present but unused in the production loop.
+- Two divergent Sharpe implementations (core.py ad-hoc vs. Portfolio method)
+  risk drifting apart; core.py's version uses `np.diff/np.maximum` while the
+  Portfolio method uses a guard on `values[i-1] > 0`.
+- No max-drawdown or annualized-return is surfaced in results today.
+
+## Suggestion (implementation plan)
+
+1. In `SimulationRunner.run()`, after each day's trades execute, call
+   `portfolio.record_value(prices)` so `portfolio.portfolio_values` mirrors the
+   per-day valuation series.
+2. Replace the ad-hoc Sharpe/ROI block in `_trainer` with a call to
+   `portfolio.calculate_returns()`; map its keys onto the existing result
+   fields (`sharpe_ratio`, `model_roi` from `cumulative_return * 100`).
+3. Add `max_drawdown` and `annualized_return` to the returned results dict.
+4. Keep the `np.maximum(values[:-1], 1e-8)` guard semantics or reconcile with
+   the Portfolio method's `> 0` guard — pick one and document it.
+5. Add a test in `tests/test_core.py` asserting `results["portfolio_values"]`
+   length equals `trading_days + 1` and that `sharpe_ratio` matches
+   `portfolio.calculate_returns()["sharpe_ratio"]`.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- `SimulationRunner` populates `portfolio.portfolio_values` via `record_value`.
+- Sharpe/ROI in results are derived from `Portfolio.calculate_returns()`.
+- `max_drawdown` and `annualized_return` present in results.
+- Full test suite green.

+# TICKET-046: HHI normalization diverges from seed — document + regression-guard
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Date:** 2025-08-16
+**Cycle:** 36
+**Priority:** Low
+**Issue:** https://github.com/belarusian/alloc/issues/112
+
+## Summary
+
+The seed's `calculate_portfolio_statistics` computes HHI directly over the
+non-cash allocation fractions. Because those fractions sum to < 1 whenever
+cash is held, the seed's "normalized" HHI
+`(hhi - 1/n) / (1 - 1/n)` can go **negative** (observed -0.45 in a 3-asset,
+cash-heavy portfolio), which is outside the documented [0, 1] range.
+
+alloc's implementation deliberately renormalizes the non-cash weights to sum
+to 1 before squaring, so HHI ∈ [1/n, 1] and the normalized form ∈ [0, 1].
+This is an intentional improvement over the seed, but it means alloc's HHI
+values are **not numerically equal** to the seed's for the same portfolio.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Seed `trader/models/portfolio.py` `calculate_portfolio_statistics` (line
+  ~648): `hhi = sum(np.square(non_cash_allocations))` where
+  `non_cash_allocations` are raw allocation fractions (sum < 1 with cash).
+- alloc `alloc/models/portfolio.py` `calculate_portfolio_statistics`:
+  `weights = [w / total_nc for w in non_cash]` then `hhi = sum(square(weights))`.
+- Reproduced: 3 equal non-cash positions + large cash → seed normalized HHI
+  ≈ -0.45; alloc normalized HHI ≈ 0.0.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Any downstream consumer expecting seed-identical HHI numbers will see a
+  difference. This is a parity gap by design, not a bug, but it must be
+  documented so it is not "fixed" back into the negative range.
+
+## Suggestion (implementation plan)
+
+1. Add a module-level note in `alloc/models/portfolio.py` (or docs/) stating
+   that HHI is computed on renormalized non-cash weights and therefore
+   differs from the seed's raw-fraction HHI.
+2. Add a regression test asserting `hhi_normalized` stays within [0, 1] for a
+   cash-heavy portfolio (guard against reintroducing the negative range).
+3. If strict seed parity is ever required, add an optional
+   `renormalize: bool = True` parameter to
+   `calculate_portfolio_statistics` and document the trade-off.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Documented divergence between alloc and seed HHI semantics.
+- Regression test pins `hhi_normalized ∈ [0, 1]` for cash-heavy portfolios.

+# TICKET-047: Issue #101 "alloc.__main__ zero coverage" is stale — consolidate tests
+
+**Status:** OPEN
+**Date:** 2025-08-16
+**Cycle:** 36
+**Priority:** Low
+**Issue:** https://github.com/belarusian/alloc/issues/113
+
+## Summary
+
+Issue #101 claims `alloc/__main__.py` has zero test coverage. This is no
+longer true: `__main__` is exercised by **two** test classes, and a third
+was added this cycle. The issue should be closed and the duplicate coverage
+consolidated.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- `tests/test_cli.py::TestMainModule` (line ~803) — 2 tests (import, has main).
+- `tests/test_actor_critic.py::TestMainModule` (line ~505, tagged TICKET-034)
+  — 7 tests (import, delegation, callable, exit code, invalid args, AST
+  guard check, runpy invocation).
+- `tests/test_portfolio.py::TestMainEntryPoint` (added this cycle) — 2 tests
+  (delegation identity, exit-code propagation).
+- All pass: `pytest tests/test_cli.py::TestMainModule
+  tests/test_actor_critic.py::TestMainModule tests/test_portfolio.py::TestMainEntryPoint`
+  → 11 passed.
+
+## Impact
+
+- Issue #101 is misleading; a newcomer would believe the entry point is
+  untested and may add redundant tests.
+- Three near-duplicate `TestMainModule`/`TestMainEntryPoint` classes scatter
+  the same concerns across three files.
+
+## Suggestion (implementation plan)
+
+1. Close issue #101 with a note that coverage now exists (cite the three
+   classes).
+2. Consolidate the `__main__` tests into a single `tests/test_main.py`
+   (or keep them in `test_cli.py` since `__main__` delegates to `cli.main`),
+   removing the duplicates in `test_actor_critic.py` and
+   `test_portfolio.py`.
+3. Keep the strongest assertions: delegation identity
+   (`alloc.__main__.main is alloc.cli.main`), exit-code propagation, and the
+   runpy `python -m alloc --help` invocation.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Issue #101 closed.
+- A single canonical test location for `alloc.__main__`.
+- No loss of the delegation / exit-code / runpy assertions.
