A market sell that sits unfilled means the symbol is halted (or session
closed); cancelling and resubmitting it every exit-manager pass fills no
faster and spams the broker — YXT 2026-08-05: 87 market sells across a
10-minute LULD halt, 86 cancelled, plus one exit_naked_stop journal event
every ~4s. On a halt-down the resting sell is also the position's only
protection.
cancel_protective_and_close now returns False (nothing submitted) when a
market sell for the symbol is already working, and only cancels
non-market protective sells before closing. Exit-manager paths
(catastrophe / naked-stop / first-red / trail) journal the exit only when
a close was actually submitted.
