The §2 parity gate for any registered bar type. One driver, every port.
C:\\ntbv\\Scripts\\python.exe -m bars.gate --bartype renko --instrument "GC 02-26" \\
--session 2025-12-09 --param brick_ticks=1 --param tick_size=0.1
Exit codes are `gates`': 0 PASS, 1 FAIL, 2 ABORT. An ABORT is not a soft pass -- a
missing reference side, a session the chart never loaded, and a tape without its
sidecar all land here on purpose.
WHY THE PYTHON SIDE IS BUILT OVER EVERY SESSION AND THEN SLICED
--------------------------------------------------------------
NinjaTrader's chart holds several trading days at once, and stock Renko's session
handling REACHES BACKWARDS: on a new trading day it removes the previous session's
last bar and re-adds it flattened to a doji. Build one session in isolation and that
bar stays a brick, so the two sides differ on exactly one bar per session for a reason
that has nothing to do with the port. Building the whole tape and slicing reproduces
the chart's own context.
