TopstepX: book Topstep's commission with each fill

TopstepX's gateway reports a fill's exchange and NFA fees only (NQ $1.39 a
side, GC $1.66, CL $1.51, MNQ $0.36). Topstep's own commission, $0.50 a side
on a full-size contract and $0.25 on a micro, comes off the balance with no
trade row carrying it, so our P&L ran $1.00 per full-size round turn above
Topstep's. On 2026-10-18 the combines sat $6 to $8 under their books and an
XFA $27.50 under, and one combine had its $18 booked as a "withdrawal".
Topstep's published round turns (NQ $3.78, MNQ $1.22, GC $4.32, CL $4.02)
are the reported fees plus this commission.

- lib/topstep-fees.ts: the per-product commission table, and TopstepX
  contract ids mapped to roots (ENQ, GCE and CLE as seen on real fills,
  overridden by contracts the client resolves itself; an unknown product
  pays the full-size rate and is logged once).
- Daily P&L, today's realized, and so the measured entry fee a take-profit
  is placed from, all net the commission. The 90-day refetch rewrites the
  cached days.
- npm run check: the table against the micro flags, the id mapping, and
  the published round turns.

/**
* Topstep's own commission on TopstepX — the part of a fill's cost the
* gateway never reports.
*
* Trade/search and the user hub carry `fees` on every half-turn, but only the
* exchange and NFA fees (NQ $1.39 a side, GC $1.66, CL $1.51, MNQ $0.36).
* Topstep's commission — $0.50 a side on a full-size contract, $0.25 on a
* micro — comes off the balance with no trade carrying it. Topstep's
* "TopstepX Commissions and Fees" page totals both: NQ and ES $3.78 a round
* turn, MNQ and MES $1.22, GC $4.32, CL $4.02. Left out, the books ran $1.00
* a full-size round turn above the balance (2026-10-18: an XFA $27.50 off
* after 26 NQ/GC round turns and 3 MNQ, each combine $1.00 per round turn).
*
* No imports, so scripts/check-instruments.mjs can test it directly.
