Greg Pomerantz 2c48d94f69 Tax engine: fix loss-pool corruption, wash double-subtract, progressive keep
- liquidation is now a pure function of state: the daily mark-to-market
  netting no longer consumes the carried loss pools or the open
  wash-sale candidates (unrealized gains/losses were leaking into the
  carryover pools, so equity[t] depended on past unrealized values)
- loss offsetting is now global (chronological, by type) instead of
  per-symbol: a symbol A gain consuming a symbol B loss marks B's event
  consumed, so a later B repurchase cannot subtract the same loss a
  second time (pools could go negative -> over-taxed gains)
- progressive mode: the reinvested after-tax remainder now uses the
  SAME marginal rates the tax is recorded at (was flat d_keep/c_keep,
  so recorded tax and cash flow diverged); the bracket position also
  advances by net short-term gains
- renames: WASh->WASH, lt_rf/st_rf->lt_fed/st_fed (rf is the project's
  risk-free-rate convention); buys pruned to the 30d wash window;
  dropped the per-call sorted() on the constant bracket tables

tests: wash-sale disallowance; liquidation purity (no-trade day with
unrealized gains must not eat the pool); cross-symbol consumption (no
double subtract). All scenarios verified to fail on the pre-fix code.

"""After-tax portfolio value: "what do I keep if I sell everything today?"
Model (simplified DAS)
----------------------
The account starts at 1.0 (growth-ratio units; no fixed capital).
- Holdings are valued on RAW (close) prices, in raw share units.
Distributions (per-share dollars from the event files) are taxed on
their event date and the after-tax remainder is REINVESTED at the same
day's raw close (the ex-div price): a fund paying d drops by d, the
investor keeps d(1-tau) and buys it back cheaper. The tax's effect is
carried by the (smaller) reinvested units; it is recorded in `taxes`
but not separately deducted from cash (that would double-count it).
dividend income -> taxed at (div_rate + niit + sl_rate)
capital gain dist-> taxed at (lt_rate + niit + sl_rate)
`niit` = federal 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (0 if MAGI is under
the threshold). `sl_rate` = STATE+LOCAL marginal rate (e.g. NY+NYC)
applied at ORDINARY rates to every flow: state and local have no
preferential capital-gains rate, so a NYC resident pays city + state
on top of the federal rate for the same dollar. The after-tax
remainder also increases each lot's cost basis proportionally
(standard after-tax-IRR convention, so a liquidation doesn't re-tax
the distribution).
- On rebalance, sells are FIFO. A lot is long-term if held more than
365 days at sale, else short-term; realized gains/losses are taxed at
`lt_rate` / `st_rate`.
- THE headline number, `equity[t]`, is the after-tax value if you
LIQUIDATE the entire account on day t:
equity[t] = market value + cash - tax_on_unrealized_gains(t)
where tax_on_unrealized_gains marks every remaining lot to market,
classifies it LT/ST by age, nets losses against gains, and applies the
rates. This is what you would actually have in your pocket after
selling everything and filing your taxes.
NOTE: distribution event dates must be EX-DIV dates for the reinvestment
pricing to be right (the raw close on that day already reflects the
drop). Yahoo usually dates events on the ex-div date; the record-date
misalignments found by scripts/scan_adj_misalign.py are corrected by
remove/add ops in overrides/corrections/ where a symbol is analyzed.
Losses realized along the way are carried forward (loss pools) and offset
later gains; repurchases within WASH_WINDOW_DAYS of a loss sale of the
same security disallow the loss (wash sale). The daily liquidation is a
PURE function of the simulated state (it never consumes loss pools or
wash-sale candidates). Progressive federal brackets are used when
`progressive` is on (marginal rate at the investor's taxable income
position, starting at `fed_base`, less the `salt` deduction, advanced by
dividend income and net short-term gains); otherwise the flat lt/st/div
rates are used.
