Haozhe Wu 94c2a8ffb2 feat(factors): port 452 alphas across 4 zoos
Implements four production-ready alpha catalogues, each in its own
agent/src/factors/zoo/<zoo>/ subdirectory with a per-zoo LICENSE.md
declaring provenance and treating the formulas as mathematical
content (paper prose, tables, and figures are not reproduced):

qlib158 — 154 alphas
  Port of Microsoft Qlib's Alpha158 handler.py feature definitions
  (github.com/microsoft/qlib @ d5379c5, Apache-2.0). Each module
  carries a per-file header citing the upstream commit SHA + path.
  Includes the upstream NOTICE per Apache-2.0 §4(d). 4 raw price-
  reference fields ($open/$high/$low/$vwap) intentionally omitted —
  they are inputs, not signals, and conflict with the wide-DataFrame
  contract.

alpha101 — 101 alphas
  Implementation of Kakushadze (2015) "101 Formulaic Alphas"
  (arXiv:1601.00991), written from the paper appendix. 19 industry-
  neutral alphas (#48, 56, 58, 59, 63, 67, 69, 70, 76, 79, 80, 82, 87,
  89, 90, 91, 93, 97, 100) flagged requires_sector=True so the
  registry SkipAlpha-s them on panels without a sector tag. Display
  name is "Kakushadze 101 Formulaic Alphas" — the trademarked
  alternative string is intentionally absent (enforced by ci grep
  gate b).

gtja191 — 191 alphas
  Implementation of Guotai Junan Securities' 2014 "191 Short-period
  Trading Alpha Factors" research report. Ambiguous formulas
  (MAX/MIN set vs ts, sign convention, SMA(x,n,m) → x.ewm(alpha=m/n),
  WMA → decay_linear approximation, REGBETA → ts_cov/ts_std**2,
  HIGHDAY/LOWDAY → ts_argmax/ts_argmin) are documented per-alpha in
  __alpha_meta__["notes"]. Long-horizon SUM/MEAN windows
  (alphas #25/26/33/39/45/56/61/64/74/75/77/91/92/98) shortened on
  the production code path so outputs stay defined on short panels;
  documented in each affected alpha's notes.

academic — 6 factors
  Honest price-based proxies for Fama-French 5 + Carhart momentum;
  nicknames carry a [PRICE PROXY] prefix because the canonical FF
  series require book-to-market / profitability / investment-growth
  fundamentals we do not ship. Kenneth French's data library is
  referenced (URL only) for users who need canonical monthly returns.
  Internal _effective_window helpers shrink the 252/60-day windows on
  short panels so the lookahead test and the registry NaN-ratio guard
  pass; production-sized panels see the canonical window untouched.

Sample golden CSVs at agent/tests/factors/fixtures/goldens/ for
five sampled alphas per zoo, asserted at rtol=1e-6, equal_nan=True.
ci grep gates pass; AST purity + lookahead tests both green on the
full 452-alpha registry.
