💡 What: Replaced O(n) Array.prototype.filter calls with an O(log n) binary search (findLastBarIndex) for chronologically sorted OHLCV bars.
🎯 Why: In backtestRunner.ts, the inner loop was repeatedly filtering the entire historical bar array for every interval turn (asOf) across multiple symbols. This caused significant O(n) bottleneck during long backtests.
📊 Impact: Lookup time per turn reduces from O(n) to O(log n). For a backtest spanning thousands of interval turns and many symbols, this eliminates a major computational bottleneck, significantly speeding up the evaluation cycle without altering behavior.
🔬 Measurement: Run pnpm test to verify correctness and pnpm typecheck to ensure type safety. Performance can be tested locally by running a long multi-month /backtest.

Replaces O(n) array filtering with O(log n) binary search in
the hot paths of the backtest runner (vnindexAt and priceOverride)
and in clipBars, significantly improving performance for
interval turn evaluations.

Also updates undici to 6.27.0 and applies overrides for cheerio>undici
and ws to resolve high severity vulnerabilities, fixing the tests failure
with Node 20 by using undici v6.
