Pull request overview
This pull request fixes L3 backtest behavior when a resting order is modified to a marketable (book-crossing) price: instead of allowing the order to “rest” at a crossed price, the exchange now cancels and re-submits the order so it properly takes liquidity (leveraging existing ack_new marketable-fill behavior). This aligns L3 behavior with the existing L2 NoPartialFillExchange approach.
Changes:
- Detect marketable (book-crossing) modifies in
L3NoPartialFillExchange::ack_modifyand handle them via cancel + re-submit (then fill viaack_new). - Preserve existing rejection behavior when the order being modified is not found (already gone).
- Add unit tests covering marketable buy/sell modifies and a non-marketable modify that continues to rest/reposition via the queue model.

Summary
When a resting L3 order is modified to a price that crosses the book (buy >= best ask, sell <= best bid), it must take liquidity rather than reposition in the queue at a crossed price.
L3NoPartialFillExchange::ack_modifynow detects a marketable modify and cancels + re-submits the order (re-normalizingleaves_qtyto the newqty), mirroring the L2NoPartialFillExchange, which modifies via cancel + new. If the order is already gone (filled/expired/unknown id), the modify is rejected, matching the existingOrderNotFoundpath.Tests
Added unit tests covering:
cargo test -p hftbacktest --no-default-features --features backtestpasses (25 tests).
