Full description

Set cross-instrument basket allocation using one collection policy.

Equal weight and manual weights use no rebalance. Manual construction supplies weights keyed by every basket symbol, summing to 1, and requires partitioned capital. Rank based holds top_n instruments by construction.score_ref, with optional exit_top_n hysteresis. Signal proportional weights every instrument by construction.score_ref. Both rotations require a calendar rebalance and a raw indicator score, such as {'kind': 'indicator', 'indicator': 'roc', 'period': 20}.

A basket needs two or more instruments. Rotation owns position lifecycle and cannot coexist with standing entry/exit rules. Within-instrument sizing remains builder_set_strategy_config(patch={'sizing': ...}). Returns the persisted allocation and its description.
