Deployment: Added multi-provider presets (TogetherAI, Gemini, Local), implemented 429 retries, and added COLAB_VLLM_SETUP guide for high-throughput testing.

Simulation Engine — the core tick loop.
Each tick:
1. Build market state string for each agent
2. Dispatch all agents concurrently (LLM or offline fallback)
3. Collect orders from responses
4. Submit orders to the order book (matching happens automatically)
5. Update agent positions and cash from executed trades
6. Record metrics
7. Log to CSV
