3. portfolio_health_check — full diagnostic
4. stress_test — historical crash scenarios
5. analyze_edge_decay — is the strategy still working?
6. get_correlation_matrix — are strategies truly independent?
7. run_monte_carlo — simulating possible futures
8. compare_blocks — comparing portfolios side by side
9. what_if_scaling — what if I ran less (or more) of this?
