Gamma Shepherd: Autonomous Options Agent on Alpaca

Paper-only autonomous options agent on Alpaca: reads OI-gamma balance across 37 symbols at 13 intraday checkpoints, trades iron condors / reverse condors as atomic 4-leg orders, with a veto-only LLM, code-enforced risk gates and a timed close ladder.
