/// <param name="args">
/// Command-line arguments for simulation configuration:
/// --orders=N (number of orders to simulate, default: 5),
/// --maxSteps=N (max simulation steps, default: 2000),
/// --tickMs=N (time advance per step in ms, default: 5),
/// --printEvery=N (snapshot frequency in steps, default: 50),
/// --seed=N (random seed for deterministic fault injection, default: 123),
