+    # [FEATURE 2026-08-20] momentum_slope_class added to both log strings
+    # below, purely additive -- no change to should_enter/disqualified
+    # logic here (that's intraday_health.compute_health()'s job, see the
+    # 2026-08-20 raw_state classification change there). This was
+    # previously computed on every HealthReading but never surfaced in
+    # the CONFIRMATION log line, which made it impossible to retroactively
+    # check what momentum was doing at real past entries (confirmed gap:
+    # QUBT's two 2026-08-20 losing entries could not be analyzed for this
+    # after the fact because the value was never logged in the first
+    # place). Going forward every CONFIRMATION line carries it.
