contrarian-setup-gate

Synthesize the three Jason Shapiro contrarian-pipeline verdicts (COT crowding, news-reaction failure, weekly price-action confirmation) into one actionable setup_status via a fail-closed precedence state machine. Pure, offline synthesis -- no network, no API keys, no computation beyond validation and precedence.

# Contrarian Setup Gate

## Overview

Synthesize the outputs of Jason Shapiro's 3-step contrarian process into one actionable state. cot-contrarian-detector (step 1) flags crowded positioning, news-reaction-failure-analyzer (step 2) tests whether the market failed to react to news favorable to the crowd, and technical-analyst's contrarian-confirmation mode (step 3) confirms weekly price-action evidence of a reversal. This gate reads those three report JSONs and applies an explicit, exhaustively-tested precedence rule set to produce one `setup_status`, with a fail-closed reason attached to every input that could not be confirmed.

The gate does no fetching, no API calls, and no computation beyond validating and combining the three inputs it is given. It is the pipeline's synthesis center, not a data source.

## When to Use

- After running cot-contrarian-detector (always required -- this is the pipeline's entry point)
- Mid-pipeline, with only the detector report, to see the CROWDED state and what steps remain
- After running news-reaction-failure-analyzer, to see whether the setup advances to WATCHING_PRICE or is REJECTED
- After running technical-analyst's contrarian-confirmation mode, to see whether the setup reaches READY_FOR_PLAN
