How this works

  1. Promote writes {value: false} to runtime_settings.dry_run_override and a LIVE_ENABLE row to audit_log.
  2. The engine reads that row at the start of every heartbeat (~60 s cadence), overlays it on cfg.broker.dry_run, and emitsDRY_RUN_FLIPPED the first cycle the value changes.
  3. Subsequent place_order() calls hit IBKR for real. The PaperAccountGuard still blocks any non-paper account_id, so a misconfigured live account cannot accidentally place orders.
