# Real-LOB Integration Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Build a CUDA-only realistic limit-order-book simulator + per-horizon adaptive decision policy + backtest harness that turns the trained ml-alpha model's `p_h(t)` predictions into P&L numbers at IBKR+Scaleway latency.

**Architecture:** New modules extend the existing `crates/ml-backtesting/` crate alongside `barrier_backtest.rs`. Block-per-backtest CUDA kernels (one warp/block, ~1.4 KB shared mem per block). Three captured CUDA Graphs (trunk perception, LOB step-event, LOB decision) with host branches only between captures. The harness reuses `ml-alpha`'s `MultiHorizonLoader` + `CfcTrunk::capture_graph_a` + `perception_forward_captured` verbatim — zero train-vs-deploy skew.

**Tech Stack:** Rust 2021 / cudarc 0.19 / CUDA 12.4 / nvcc → cubins / serde-JSON for fixtures / parquet via `parquet` crate for sweep aggregation / `clap` 4 for CLI.

**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-18-real-lob-integration-design.md` @ commit `bfbaea266`. Read it BEFORE starting any task; this plan references it heavily.

**Branch:** Stay on `ml-alpha-phase-a` for the entire implementation. Commit after each task that has a `Commit` step.

## Commit Map (10 atomic commits)

| # | Title | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | ml-alpha loader: inference_only mode | Add `inference_only`, `peek_first()`, `next_inference_input()` to `MultiHorizonLoader`. No backtest code yet. |
| C2 | ml-backtesting: order types + SlotTag | Host-only `OrderIntent` / `OrderEvent` / `SlotTag` / `Side` / `LimitKind` enums and packing. |
| C3 | ml-backtesting: policy tree + bytecode | `Strategy` recursive enum, `StopRules`, `LatencyConfig`, `SizingPolicyId`, host-side flattening to bytecode program. |
| C4 | ml-backtesting: build.rs + book_update kernel + sim skeleton | Cubin pipeline; first CUDA kernel + bindings; first 3 Ring 1 fixtures (book mechanics). |
| C5 | ml-backtesting: order_match kernel | Resting-order matching, queue decay, latency-aware fills. 4 more Ring 1 fixtures. |
| C6 | ml-backtesting: pnl_track kernel | Realized/unrealized P&L, segment_complete events. 1 Ring 1 fixture. |
| C7 | ml-backtesting: decision_policy kernel | Bytecode interpreter, per-horizon ISV-Kelly, WeightedByRealizedSharpe aggregator, OCO + overflow. 3 Ring 1 fixtures. |
| C8 | ml-backtesting: harness + trainer parity | `BacktestHarness` orchestrator wiring loader → trunk → sim. Ring 1b bit-equality test. |
| C9 | ml-backtesting: artifacts + aggregate + fxt-backtest binary | summary.json / trades.csv / pnl_curve.bin writers, sweep aggregation, single CLI binary with `run` + `aggregate` subcommands. |
| C10 | ml-backtesting: Ring 2 invariant fuzz tests | Property-based fuzz with N ∈ {1, 16, 256}. |

After C10: Ring 3 (production-data replay) is OUT of scope for this plan — it requires real data and external validation. Plan ends with C10 producing a working CLI.

## Conventions for every task

1. **Read the spec section referenced in each task before coding.** Tasks cite spec sections (e.g. "see spec §5") rather than restating design rationale.
2. **`SQLX_OFFLINE=true` is set in the environment.** All `cargo` commands assume it.
3. **GPU tests are `#[ignore]`d by default**; run with `--ignored`. Convention follows existing ml-alpha tests (see `crates/ml-alpha/tests/perception_overfit.rs`).
4. **Cubin path convention** follows `crates/ml-alpha/cuda/`: `concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/<name>.cubin")` in source, `build.rs` writes there.
5. **Tests use the real GPU**, no CPU oracle. RTX 3050 locally is enough for N=1 fixtures. Per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks.md`.
6. **Commits use Conventional Commits** matching existing repo style (`feat(ml-backtesting):`, `perf(...)`, etc.) and end with the Claude co-author trailer.

## Commit 1 — ml-alpha loader: `inference_only` mode

**Why first:** The backtest harness depends on `MultiHorizonLoader::next_inference_input()`. Land this in `ml-alpha` so subsequent commits can `use ml_alpha::data::loader::*` without forward references.

**Spec reference:** §1 (trainer parity), §7 (orchestrator code).

### Task 1.1: Extend `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig` with `inference_only`

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs:88-122` (add field to config struct)
- Test: `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs` (inline `#[cfg(test)]` module)

- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current config struct + impl**

Read `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs:85-260` to understand `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig`, `MultiHorizonLoader::new()`, `LoadedFile`, and the per-file label precomputation loop (lines ~199-235).

- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing test**

Append to `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs` (inside the existing `#[cfg(test)] mod tests { ... }`, or create one if none exists):

```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod inference_mode_tests {
    use super::*;
    use std::path::PathBuf;

    fn test_fixture_files() -> Vec<PathBuf> {
        // Mirrors existing test-fixture discovery used elsewhere in the crate.
        let root = PathBuf::from(std::env::var("FOXHUNT_TEST_DATA")
            .unwrap_or_else(|_| "test_data/futures-baseline".to_string()));
        discover_mbp10_files_sorted(&root).expect("test fixtures").into_iter().take(1).collect()
    }

    #[test]
    fn inference_only_skips_label_precompute() {
        let files = test_fixture_files();
        let cfg = MultiHorizonLoaderConfig {
            files: files.clone(),
            predecoded_dir: files[0].parent().unwrap().to_path_buf(),
            seq_len: 1,
            horizons: [30, 100, 300, 1000, 6000],
            n_max_sequences: 1,
            seed: 0,
            decision_stride: 1,
            inference_only: true,    // new field
        };
        let loader = MultiHorizonLoader::new(&cfg).expect("loader new");
        // In inference-only mode the per-file labels_full vectors must be empty.
        assert!(loader.files_loaded.iter().all(|f| f.labels_full.iter().all(|v| v.is_empty())),
            "inference_only=true must not precompute labels");
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test (it fails on field not existing)**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib inference_mode_tests::inference_only_skips_label_precompute
```

Expected: compile error — `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig` has no field `inference_only`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Add the field + skip label precompute when set**

Edit `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs`. Inside `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig`, before the closing `}`:

```rust
    /// When `true`, skip per-file forward-label precomputation
    /// (~50 % of file-load cost) and emit raw chronological snapshots
    /// only. Used by `crates/ml-backtesting` backtest harness; trainer
    /// always passes `false`. See spec §1 trainer-parity row.
    pub inference_only: bool,
```

Then in `MultiHorizonLoader::new()` find the per-horizon label loop (around lines 213-235 — `for (h_idx, &h) in cfg.horizons.iter().enumerate() { ... }`) and gate it:

```rust
            let mut labels_full: [Vec<f32>; 5] = Default::default();
            if !cfg.inference_only {
                for (h_idx, &h) in cfg.horizons.iter().enumerate() {
                    // ... existing label-precompute body unchanged ...
                }
            }
```

The downstream `next_sequence()` already returns NaN labels when out-of-window, so empty `labels_full` is safe — but `next_sequence()` MUST NOT be called in inference-only mode. We add `next_inference_input()` for that in Task 1.3.

Update every existing trainer call-site that constructs `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig` to pass `inference_only: false`. Find them with:

```bash
grep -rn "MultiHorizonLoaderConfig {" /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/crates/ml-alpha/ /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/ /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/bin/
```

Add `inference_only: false,` to every struct literal found.

- [ ] **Step 5: Verify the test passes**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib inference_mode_tests::inference_only_skips_label_precompute -- --nocapture
```

Expected: PASS.

- [ ] **Step 6: Verify trainer-side tests still pass**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib data::loader
```

Expected: all pre-existing loader tests PASS (we only gated the label loop, didn't change its body).

- [ ] **Step 7: Verify the whole workspace still builds**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace
```

Expected: clean build, no errors. (If trainer call-sites were missed they will fail with "missing field `inference_only`".)

- [ ] **Step 8: Stage but do NOT commit yet** (Task 1.2 + 1.3 ride the same commit)

```bash
git add crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs
# Any modified call-sites also staged:
git add $(grep -rln "MultiHorizonLoaderConfig {" crates/ml-alpha/ services/ bin/ 2>/dev/null | xargs)
```

### Task 1.2: Add `MultiHorizonLoader::peek_first()`

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs` (extend `impl MultiHorizonLoader`)

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Append to the same `inference_mode_tests` module:

```rust
#[test]
fn peek_first_returns_first_chronological_snapshot() {
    let files = test_fixture_files();
    let cfg = MultiHorizonLoaderConfig {
        files: files.clone(),
        predecoded_dir: files[0].parent().unwrap().to_path_buf(),
        seq_len: 1,
        horizons: [30, 100, 300, 1000, 6000],
        n_max_sequences: 1,
        seed: 0,
        decision_stride: 1,
        inference_only: true,
    };
    let loader = MultiHorizonLoader::new(&cfg).expect("loader new");
    let first = loader.peek_first().expect("peek_first ok");
    // First snapshot of first file must have non-zero ts_ns (real data).
    assert!(first.ts_ns > 0);
    // bid/ask must be sane (10 levels each).
    assert_eq!(first.bid_px.len(), 10);
    assert_eq!(first.ask_px.len(), 10);
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test (fails on missing method)**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib inference_mode_tests::peek_first_returns_first_chronological_snapshot
```

Expected: compile error — no method `peek_first` on `MultiHorizonLoader`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `peek_first`**

Find the `impl MultiHorizonLoader { ... }` block in `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs`. After `pub fn yielded(&self) -> usize { self.yielded }`, add:

```rust
    /// Return a clone of the first chronological snapshot from the
    /// first loaded file. Used to seed CUDA Graph capture in inference
    /// callers (e.g. backtest harness — see spec §7). Pure read; no
    /// state mutation. Available in both training and inference modes.
    pub fn peek_first(&self) -> Result<Mbp10RawInput> {
        let first_file = self.files_loaded.first()
            .context("loader has no loaded files")?;
        let first_snap = first_file.snapshots.first()
            .context("first loaded file has no snapshots")?;
        // Mirror the existing Mbp10RawInput-from-snapshot conversion
        // pattern used in next_sequence() — same shape.
        Ok(snapshot_to_raw_input(first_snap, &first_file.regime_full[0]))
    }
```

If `snapshot_to_raw_input` doesn't exist as a free function, factor the existing inline conversion from `next_sequence()` into one. Search for the conversion site:

```bash
grep -n "Mbp10RawInput {" crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs
```

Extract the relevant assignment block into:

```rust
fn snapshot_to_raw_input(s: &Mbp10Snapshot, regime: &[f32; REGIME_DIM]) -> Mbp10RawInput {
    let mut out = Mbp10RawInput::default();
    out.bid_px = s.bid_px;     // adjust field names to match Mbp10Snapshot's exact layout;
    out.bid_sz = s.bid_sz;     // verify by reading crates/ml-alpha/src/data/mod.rs Mbp10Snapshot.
    out.ask_px = s.ask_px;
    out.ask_sz = s.ask_sz;
    out.prev_mid = s.prev_mid;
    out.trade_signed_vol = s.trade_signed_vol;
    out.trade_count = s.trade_count;
    out.ts_ns = s.ts_ns;
    out.prev_ts_ns = s.prev_ts_ns;
    out.regime = *regime;
    out
}
```

Then replace the inline conversion site(s) in `next_sequence()` with `snapshot_to_raw_input(snap, regime)`. The function refactor must produce an output identical to before — verify with the existing loader tests.

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify test passes + existing tests still pass**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib data::loader inference_mode_tests
```

Expected: all PASS.

- [ ] **Step 5: Stage** (still no commit — Task 1.3 next)

```bash
git add crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs
```

### Task 1.3: Add `MultiHorizonLoader::next_inference_input()`

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Append to `inference_mode_tests`:

```rust
#[test]
fn next_inference_input_yields_chronological_with_stride() {
    let files = test_fixture_files();
    let cfg = MultiHorizonLoaderConfig {
        files: files.clone(),
        predecoded_dir: files[0].parent().unwrap().to_path_buf(),
        seq_len: 1,
        horizons: [30, 100, 300, 1000, 6000],
        n_max_sequences: 0,        // unlimited in inference mode
        seed: 0,
        decision_stride: 4,
        inference_only: true,
    };
    let mut loader = MultiHorizonLoader::new(&cfg).expect("loader new");

    let snap0 = loader.next_inference_input().expect("snap 0").expect("not none");
    let snap1 = loader.next_inference_input().expect("snap 1").expect("not none");
    let snap2 = loader.next_inference_input().expect("snap 2").expect("not none");

    // Chronological monotonicity.
    assert!(snap0.ts_ns < snap1.ts_ns);
    assert!(snap1.ts_ns < snap2.ts_ns);

    // Inference mode yields EVERY snapshot — decision_stride is the
    // CALLER's concern (e.g. "infer every Nth snapshot"). The loader's
    // job is just to walk the stream chronologically.
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib inference_mode_tests::next_inference_input_yields_chronological_with_stride
```

Expected: compile error — no method `next_inference_input`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `next_inference_input`**

Add to `impl MultiHorizonLoader`, after `peek_first`:

```rust
    /// Iterator-style accessor for inference mode: walks every loaded
    /// snapshot across every loaded file in chronological order. Returns
    /// `Ok(None)` when the stream is exhausted. Unlike `next_sequence`,
    /// does NOT slice fixed-length windows and does NOT apply
    /// `decision_stride` (caller's concern — see spec §7 orchestrator).
    /// Mutates internal cursor state.
    pub fn next_inference_input(&mut self) -> Result<Option<Mbp10RawInput>> {
        anyhow::ensure!(
            self.cfg.inference_only,
            "next_inference_input requires MultiHorizonLoaderConfig.inference_only = true"
        );
        loop {
            let Some(file) = self.files_loaded.get(self.inference_file_idx) else {
                return Ok(None);
            };
            if self.inference_snap_idx >= file.snapshots.len() {
                self.inference_file_idx += 1;
                self.inference_snap_idx = 0;
                continue;
            }
            let snap = &file.snapshots[self.inference_snap_idx];
            let regime = &file.regime_full[self.inference_snap_idx];
            let out = snapshot_to_raw_input(snap, regime);
            self.inference_snap_idx += 1;
            self.yielded += 1;
            return Ok(Some(out));
        }
    }
```

Add two cursor fields to `MultiHorizonLoader`:

```rust
pub struct MultiHorizonLoader {
    cfg: MultiHorizonLoaderConfig,
    rng: ChaCha8Rng,
    yielded: usize,
    files_loaded: Vec<LoadedFile>,
    // NEW — chronological cursor for inference-mode iteration.
    inference_file_idx: usize,
    inference_snap_idx: usize,
}
```

In `MultiHorizonLoader::new()`, initialise both cursors to `0` in the returned struct literal. In `reset()`, also reset both to `0`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify all tests pass**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-alpha --lib data::loader inference_mode_tests
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace
```

Expected: all PASS, clean build.

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit C1**

```bash
git add crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ml-alpha): MultiHorizonLoader inference-only mode

Add inference_only flag to MultiHorizonLoaderConfig that skips per-file
forward-label precomputation, plus peek_first() and next_inference_input()
methods for chronological snapshot streaming. Used by upcoming
ml-backtesting LOB backtest harness; trainer call-sites unaffected
(pass inference_only=false). See docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-18-real-lob-integration-design.md §1, §7.

```

Expected: pre-commit hooks pass, commit lands.

## Commit 2 — ml-backtesting: order types + SlotTag

**Why now:** Host-only types with no GPU dependency; can land before any CUDA work. Establishes the audit-log schema that later kernels write into.

**Spec reference:** §3 (OrderIntent flat representation), §5b (state ownership row for audit ring).

### Task 2.1: Extend `crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml` with new deps

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml`

- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current Cargo.toml**

Read `crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml` end-to-end. Note that it currently depends only on `ml-core`, `serde`, `chrono`, `anyhow`.

- [ ] **Step 2: Add the required deps**

Edit `crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml`. After the existing `[dependencies]` block additions:

```toml
[dependencies]
ml-core.workspace = true
ml-alpha = { path = "../ml-alpha" }     # loader + trunk reuse (see spec §1)
serde = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] }
serde_json.workspace = true
chrono.workspace = true
anyhow.workspace = true
cudarc.workspace = true                  # block-per-backtest CUDA bindings
parquet.workspace = true                 # sweep aggregation output (C9)
arrow.workspace = true                   # parquet schema construction (C9)
bytemuck = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] }   # SlotTag pod cast
clap = { workspace = true, features = ["derive"] }       # used by bin/fxt-backtest (C9)
tracing.workspace = true
thiserror.workspace = true
half.workspace = true

[build-dependencies]
# Cubin compilation (C4).
anyhow.workspace = true

[dev-dependencies]
ml-alpha = { path = "../ml-alpha" }
tempfile.workspace = true
```

If any of these deps aren't already in the workspace `Cargo.toml`'s `[workspace.dependencies]` section, add them by mirroring the version used in `crates/ml-alpha/Cargo.toml` (it uses cudarc, bytemuck, parquet, arrow, clap, tracing, thiserror, half already — they should all be there).

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify it builds**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml-backtesting
```

Expected: clean build (no new code yet, just deps).

- [ ] **Step 4: Stage** (no commit yet — Tasks 2.2 + 2.3 ride this commit)

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml
```

### Task 2.2: Define `SlotTag` packed handle + `Side` / `LimitKind` enums

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/order.rs`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lib.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

Create `crates/ml-backtesting/src/order.rs` with:

```rust
//! Host-side order representation. See spec §3.

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

#[repr(u8)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum Side {
    Buy = 0,
    Sell = 1,
}

#[repr(u8)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum LimitKind {
    Limit = 0,
    Ioc = 1,
    Fok = 2,
}

#[repr(u8)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum SlotKind {
    Limit = 0,
    Stop = 1,
}

/// Stable handle for cancel/modify. Packed into u32 so the device-side
/// audit kernel can emit it as a single field. Layout (LSB → MSB):
///   bits  0..  7 : slot_kind   (SlotKind as u8)
///   bits  8.. 15 : slot_index  (u8)
///   bits 16.. 31 : gen_counter (u16) — incremented on every slot reuse;
///                                       distinguishes new occupant from
///                                       stale references to a previous one
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct SlotTag(pub u32);

impl SlotTag {
    pub fn pack(kind: SlotKind, idx: u8, gen: u16) -> Self {
        SlotTag((kind as u32) | ((idx as u32) << 8) | ((gen as u32) << 16))
    }
    pub fn kind(self) -> SlotKind {
        match (self.0 & 0xFF) as u8 {
            0 => SlotKind::Limit,
            1 => SlotKind::Stop,
            _ => unreachable!("invariant: SlotTag.kind() in {0,1}"),
        }
    }
    pub fn index(self) -> u8  { ((self.0 >> 8) & 0xFF) as u8 }
    pub fn gen(self)   -> u16 { ((self.0 >> 16) & 0xFFFF) as u16 }
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn slot_tag_roundtrips() {
        let t = SlotTag::pack(SlotKind::Stop, 7, 1234);
        assert_eq!(t.kind(), SlotKind::Stop);
        assert_eq!(t.index(), 7);
        assert_eq!(t.gen(), 1234);
    }

    #[test]
    fn slot_tag_max_gen_fits() {
        let t = SlotTag::pack(SlotKind::Limit, 31, u16::MAX);
        assert_eq!(t.gen(), u16::MAX);
        assert_eq!(t.index(), 31);
    }

    #[test]
    fn slot_tag_packs_distinct_kinds() {
        let a = SlotTag::pack(SlotKind::Limit, 0, 0);
        let b = SlotTag::pack(SlotKind::Stop, 0, 0);
        assert_ne!(a.0, b.0);
    }
}
```

Then in `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lib.rs`, after the existing module declarations, add:

```rust
pub mod order;
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests (they fail to compile because lib.rs doesn't have `order` module yet, then pass once added)**

```bash

feat(ml-backtesting): host-side order types + SlotTag

OrderIntent / OrderEvent / SlotTag / Side / LimitKind defined per spec
§3. OrderEvent is repr(C) Pod, 24 bytes — matches the on-device audit
record layout the decision kernel will write (C7). SlotTag packs
{kind, index, gen_counter} into u32 for cancel/modify robustness
against slot reuse. No CUDA dependency yet.

Adds cudarc, parquet, arrow, bytemuck, clap, tracing, thiserror, half,
serde_json, tempfile to ml-backtesting deps in preparation for upcoming
LOB sim + harness + binary commits.

## Commit 3 — ml-backtesting: policy tree + bytecode

**Why now:** Host-only types; the bytecode emission is the contract the decision-policy kernel (C7) will interpret. Defining it now means C7 can be implemented against a stable schema.

**Spec reference:** §6 (Strategy tree, EnsembleAggregator, ConflictPolicy, Regime, default_strategy, host-side flattening).

### Task 3.1: Define `Strategy` recursive enum + `StrategyConfig`

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/policy/mod.rs`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/policy/composition.rs`

feat(ml-backtesting): policy tree + bytecode program

Recursive Strategy enum (Leaf | Ensemble | Portfolio | RegimeSwitch)
with EnsembleAggregator including WeightedByRealizedSharpe for adaptive
horizon weighting (no static horizon_mask per spec §6).
Strategy::default_for(max_lots) emits the 5-horizon adaptive Ensemble
that will be the v1 default policy.

Strategy::flatten() walks the tree → linear bytecode Program (Pod
Instruction { op, arg0, arg1, arg2 }) for upload to device-global
memory at slot blockIdx.x. The C7 decision_policy.cu kernel will
interpret this bytecode against per-horizon ISV-Kelly state.

LatencyConfig defaulted to Constant(100ms) per IBKR+Scaleway baseline.
StopRules, SizingPolicyId, ConflictPolicy, Regime defined as host-side
config types. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Expected: pre-commit hooks pass, commit lands.

## Commit 4 — ml-backtesting: build.rs + book_update kernel + sim skeleton

**Why now:** Establishes the CUDA pipeline (build.rs → cubin → cudarc loading → fixture harness) end-to-end with the simplest kernel. Every subsequent kernel commit follows the exact same pattern, so getting this right pays off.

**Spec reference:** §2 (shared-mem layout), §8 Ring 1 fixtures, §10 (`feedback_no_nvrtc.md`, `feedback_no_atomicadd.md`, `pearl_build_rs_rerun_if_env_changed.md`).

### Task 4.1: `build.rs` cubin compilation

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/build.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Read the reference build.rs from ml-alpha**

```bash
cat crates/ml-alpha/build.rs | head -80
```

Note the pattern: walks `cuda/` dir, invokes `nvcc --cubin -arch=...`, writes to `$OUT_DIR/<name>.cubin`, emits `cargo:rerun-if-changed` AND `cargo:rerun-if-env-changed` (per `pearl_build_rs_rerun_if_env_changed.md`).

- [ ] **Step 2: Create `crates/ml-backtesting/build.rs`**

```rust
//! Compile every .cu file under cuda/ to a cubin in $OUT_DIR.
//! Mirrors crates/ml-alpha/build.rs. Per feedback_no_nvrtc.md:
//! cubins only, no runtime nvrtc.

use std::path::{Path, PathBuf};
use std::process::Command;

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    let cuda_dir = PathBuf::from(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR")).join("cuda");
    let out_dir = PathBuf::from(std::env::var("OUT_DIR")?);

    // Per pearl_build_rs_rerun_if_env_changed.md: pair every env::var
    // with rerun-if-env-changed.
    let arch = std::env::var("FOXHUNT_CUDA_ARCH").unwrap_or_else(|_| "sm_89".into());
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=FOXHUNT_CUDA_ARCH");
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=CUDA_PATH");

    let nvcc = std::env::var("NVCC")
        .map(PathBuf::from)
        .unwrap_or_else(|_| PathBuf::from("nvcc"));
    println!("cargo:rerun-if-env-changed=NVCC");

    if !cuda_dir.exists() {
        // No kernels yet — first build before any .cu lands.
        return Ok(());
    }

    println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed={}", cuda_dir.display());
    for entry in std::fs::read_dir(&cuda_dir)? {
        let entry = entry?;
        let path = entry.path();
        if path.extension().and_then(|s| s.to_str()) != Some("cu") { continue; }
        let stem = path.file_stem().unwrap().to_string_lossy().to_string();
        let cubin = out_dir.join(format!("{stem}.cubin"));

        println!("cargo:rerun-if-changed={}", path.display());

        let status = Command::new(&nvcc)
            .args(["--cubin", "-O3", "-std=c++17"])
            .arg(format!("-arch={arch}"))
            .arg("-o").arg(&cubin)
            .arg(&path)
            .status()
            .map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("spawn nvcc: {e}"))?;
        anyhow::ensure!(status.success(), "nvcc failed for {}", path.display());
    }
    Ok(())
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify it builds (with no .cu files yet — should no-op)**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo build -p ml-backtesting
```

Expected: clean build (cuda/ dir doesn't exist yet so build.rs early-returns).

- [ ] **Step 4: Stage** (no commit — Task 4.2 next)

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/build.rs crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml
```

### Task 4.2: Per-block shared-mem layout (CUDA header) + book_update kernel

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/lob_state.cuh`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/book_update.cu`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create shared-mem layout header**

`crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/lob_state.cuh`:

```cuda
// Per-block shared-mem layout for the LOB simulator.
// One block = one parallel backtest. See spec §2 + §5b.
//
// MUST stay in sync with crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs's
// LobSharedMem (used only for size assertions on host side).

#ifndef LOB_STATE_CUH
#define LOB_STATE_CUH

#define N_HORIZONS 5
#define MAX_LIMITS 32
#define MAX_STOPS  16

struct Book {
    float bid_px[10];
    float bid_sz[10];
    float ask_px[10];
    float ask_sz[10];
};

struct LimitSlot {
    unsigned char active;       // 0=free, 1=resting, 2=in-flight
    unsigned char side;         // 0=buy, 1=sell
    unsigned char type;         // 0=Limit, 1=Ioc, 2=Fok
    unsigned char oco_pair;     // 0xFF = none
    float price;                // ticks (i32 reinterpret)
    float size_remaining;
    float queue_position;
    unsigned long long arrival_ts_ns;
    unsigned short gen_counter;
};

struct StopSlot {
    unsigned char active;
    unsigned char side;
    unsigned char type;         // 4=StopMarket, 5=StopLimit
    unsigned char oco_pair;
    float trigger_price;
    float limit_price;
    float size;
    unsigned long long arrival_ts_ns;
    unsigned short gen_counter;
};

struct Orders {
    LimitSlot limits[MAX_LIMITS];
    StopSlot  stops[MAX_STOPS];
};

struct Pos {
    int position_lots;
    float vwap_entry;
    float realized_pnl;
    float peak_equity;
    unsigned int submission_overflow;
    unsigned int open_horizon_mask;
};

struct IsvKellyState {
    float pnl_ema_win;
    float pnl_ema_loss;
    float win_rate_ema;
    unsigned int n_trades_seen;
    float realised_return_var;
    float recent_sharpe;
};

#endif // LOB_STATE_CUH
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Create `book_update.cu`**

`crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/book_update.cu`:

```cuda
// MBP-10 event apply. Mutates shared-mem Book state.
// One block per backtest. Thread tid handles one of 10 levels per side
// (20 threads used out of 32 in the warp; remainder idle).
// Per feedback_no_atomicadd.md: no atomics — single-writer per level.

#include "lob_state.cuh"

// Event types (mirror Mbp10RawInput; one event = one snapshot apply).
// The full snapshot REPLACES the book — simpler than tracking deltas,
// matches MBP-10 semantics (each snapshot is a full top-10 image).
extern "C" __global__ void book_update_apply_snapshot(
    const float* __restrict__ bid_px_in,   // [N_backtests, 10] — broadcast same row across all
    const float* __restrict__ bid_sz_in,
    const float* __restrict__ ask_px_in,
    const float* __restrict__ ask_sz_in,
    // Per-block book state pointer (device-global, blockIdx.x indexed).
    Book* __restrict__ books_out           // [N_backtests]
) {
    int b   = blockIdx.x;
    int tid = threadIdx.x;
    if (tid >= 10) return;

    // Broadcast: same snapshot applied to every backtest. bid_px_in is
    // shape [10] (single backtest) for v1; the simulator owns N_backtests
    // book replicas but the input is one snapshot. Indexing by tid only.
    books_out[b].bid_px[tid] = bid_px_in[tid];
    books_out[b].bid_sz[tid] = bid_sz_in[tid];
    books_out[b].ask_px[tid] = ask_px_in[tid];
    books_out[b].ask_sz[tid] = ask_sz_in[tid];
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Trigger nvcc compile via cargo build**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo build -p ml-backtesting
```

Expected: nvcc emits `target/.../out/book_update.cubin`. Verify:

```bash
find target -name "book_update.cubin" | head
```

Expected: at least one `.cubin` file printed.

- [ ] **Step 4: Stage** (no commit yet — Tasks 4.3 + 4.4 ride this commit)

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/
```

### Task 4.3: Rust bindings + `LobSimCuda` skeleton

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lib.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**

```

Update `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lib.rs`:

```rust
pub mod lob;
pub mod sim;
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify it compiles**

```bash

feat(ml-backtesting): build.rs + book_update CUDA kernel + sim skeleton

build.rs compiles every .cu under crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/ to
$OUT_DIR/<name>.cubin via nvcc (no nvrtc per feedback_no_nvrtc.md);
pairs every env::var with rerun-if-env-changed per
pearl_build_rs_rerun_if_env_changed.md.

First kernel: book_update_apply_snapshot — block-per-backtest replace
of the 10-level book from a broadcast MBP-10 snapshot. Single-writer
per level (thread tid = level idx), no atomics per feedback_no_atomicadd.md.

lob_state.cuh defines the canonical per-block shared-mem layout (Book,
Orders.LimitSlot[32], Orders.StopSlot[16], Pos, IsvKellyState[5]) that
all subsequent kernels share — see spec §2.

LobSimCuda host struct allocs device book state + mapped-pinned input
snapshots. apply_snapshot launches the book_update kernel and synchronises.

Three Ring 1 fixture tests (book_update_replace, _two_step,
_n_backtests=4) — N≤4 bit-exact GPU oracle assertions loaded from JSON.

## Commit 5 — ml-backtesting: order_match kernel + latency-aware fills

**Why now:** With book state working, we can layer in resting orders, queue position, and latency-bounded marketability checks. This commit makes the sim able to accept market orders and emit fills.

**Spec reference:** §2 (`orders.limits[]`, `orders.stops[]`, `oco_pair`, `arrival_ts_ns`), §3 (OrderEvent), §4 (LatencyConfig + arrival-event timestamp mechanics), §8 Ring 1 fixtures `market_order_consumes_top`, `limit_rest_queue_init`, `limit_fill_via_trade`, `latency_in_flight_miss`.

### Task 5.1: Per-block `Orders` + `Pos` state buffers + `OrderEvent` audit ring

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs` (extend `LobSimCuda` with new buffers)
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs` (host mirrors)

- [ ] **Step 1: Add device buffers**

In `crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs`, add to the `LobSimCuda` struct:

```rust
    // NEW — per-backtest orders + position state (device-global; one slice per backtest).
    pub(crate) orders_d:  CudaSlice<u8>,            // packed bytes; sized per-block via lob::ORDERS_BYTES
    pub(crate) pos_d:     CudaSlice<u8>,            // packed; lob::POS_BYTES
    // Mapped-pinned audit ring per backtest. RING_CAP_EVENTS events × OrderEvent (24 B).
    pub(crate) audit_d:   CudaSlice<u8>,            // [n_backtests * RING_CAP_EVENTS * 24]
    pub(crate) audit_head_d: CudaSlice<u32>,        // [n_backtests] — write index, kernel-mutated
```

Add to `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs`:

```rust
pub const MAX_LIMITS: usize = 32;
pub const MAX_STOPS:  usize = 16;
/// Bytes per LimitSlot (matches lob_state.cuh LimitSlot struct).
pub const LIMIT_SLOT_BYTES: usize = 24;   // 4 × u8 + 3 × f32 + u64 + u16 + 2 pad
pub const STOP_SLOT_BYTES:  usize = 24;
pub const ORDERS_BYTES:     usize = MAX_LIMITS * LIMIT_SLOT_BYTES + MAX_STOPS * STOP_SLOT_BYTES;
pub const POS_BYTES:        usize = 24;
pub const RING_CAP_EVENTS:  usize = 256;
pub const ORDER_EVENT_BYTES: usize = 24;
```

In `LobSimCuda::new()`, allocate the new buffers:

```rust
        let orders_d = stream.alloc_zeros::<u8>(n_backtests * crate::lob::ORDERS_BYTES)?;
        let pos_d    = stream.alloc_zeros::<u8>(n_backtests * crate::lob::POS_BYTES)?;
        let audit_d  = stream.alloc_zeros::<u8>(n_backtests * crate::lob::RING_CAP_EVENTS * crate::lob::ORDER_EVENT_BYTES)?;
        let audit_head_d = stream.alloc_zeros::<u32>(n_backtests)?;
```

Add accessor `pub fn read_audit_ring(&self, b: usize) -> Result<Vec<u8>>` that copies the per-backtest ring slice + clears `audit_head_d[b]` (for fixture inspection).

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify build**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml-backtesting
```

Expected: clean build.

- [ ] **Step 3: Stage** (no commit)

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs
```

### Task 5.2: `order_match.cu` kernel

Create `crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/order_match.cu`:

            emit_event(audit_base, audit_head, b, (unsigned int)ring_cap_events,
                       current_ts_ns, ((unsigned int)j << 8) | (1u),
                       4, st.side, (unsigned short)filled, 0,
                       (int)(st.trigger_price / tick_size + 0.5f));
        }
        // OCO link: if this stop has an oco_pair, cancel the paired slot.
        if (st.oco_pair != 0xFF) {
            const int pair_idx = (int)st.oco_pair;
            if (pair_idx < MAX_LIMITS) {
                orders.limits[pair_idx].active = 0;
            } else if (pair_idx - MAX_LIMITS < MAX_STOPS) {
                orders.stops[pair_idx - MAX_LIMITS].active = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Wire bindings into sim.rs**

Add a method `pub fn step_event(&mut self, current_ts_ns: u64, trade_signed_vol: f32) -> Result<()>` to `LobSimCuda` that launches `order_match_step_event` after `apply_snapshot`. Pass `ORDERS_BYTES`, `POS_BYTES`, `RING_CAP_EVENTS`, `0.25` (tick size) as kernel args. Launch config: grid (n_backtests, 1, 1), block (32, 1, 1).

```rust
    pub fn step_event(&mut self, current_ts_ns: u64, trade_signed_vol: f32) -> Result<()> {
        let module = self.ctx.load_module(
            cudarc::nvrtc::Ptx::from_src(include_bytes!(concat!(env!("OUT_DIR"), "/order_match.cubin")).as_ref())
        )?;
        let func = module.load_function("order_match_step_event")?;
        let cfg = LaunchConfig { grid_dim: (self.n_backtests as u32, 1, 1),
                                 block_dim: (32, 1, 1), shared_mem_bytes: 0 };
        let n = self.n_backtests as i32;
        let orders_bytes  = crate::lob::ORDERS_BYTES as i32;
        let pos_bytes     = crate::lob::POS_BYTES as i32;
        let ring_cap      = crate::lob::RING_CAP_EVENTS as i32;
        let tick: f32 = 0.25;
        let mut launch = self.stream.launch_builder(&func);
        unsafe { launch.arg(&self.books_d).arg(&mut self.orders_d).arg(&mut self.pos_d)
                       .arg(&mut self.audit_d).arg(&mut self.audit_head_d)
                       .arg(&current_ts_ns).arg(&trade_signed_vol)
                       .arg(&orders_bytes).arg(&pos_bytes).arg(&ring_cap).arg(&tick).arg(&n)
                       .launch(cfg)?; }
        self.stream.synchronize()?;
        Ok(())
    }
```

Also need to retain a CudaContext handle in `LobSimCuda` (add `pub(crate) ctx: Arc<CudaContext>` to the struct and capture in `new()`).

Add `pub fn submit_market(&mut self, backtest_idx: usize, side: u8, size: u16) -> Result<()>` that directly mutates `orders_d` from host to seed a market order — this is for fixture testing only (the production path is via `decision_policy.cu` in C7). The mechanism: pre-populate a single LimitSlot with active=1, side, price=0, marking it as a "market fill on next step" via a sentinel — simpler for v1 is to launch a tiny host-side kernel `seed_market_order` that takes (b, side, size) and writes into `orders[b].limits[0]` with marketable price. Define this minimal kernel inline in `cuda/order_match.cu`:

```cuda
extern "C" __global__ void seed_market_order(
    unsigned char* orders_base, int orders_bytes,
    int b, unsigned char side, float size, float marketable_px
) {
    if (threadIdx.x != 0 || blockIdx.x != 0) return;
    Orders& orders = *orders_at(orders_base, b, (unsigned int)orders_bytes);
    LimitSlot& s = orders.limits[0];
    s.active = 1;
    s.side = side;
    s.type = 0;     // Limit
    s.oco_pair = 0xFF;
    s.price = marketable_px;
    s.size_remaining = size;
    s.queue_position = 0.0f;
    s.arrival_ts_ns = 0;
    s.gen_counter = 1;
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify build**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo build -p ml-backtesting
find target -name "order_match.cubin" | head
```

Expected: cubin present.

- [ ] **Step 4: Stage** (no commit — fixtures next in 5.3)

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/order_match.cu crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs
```

### Task 5.3: Four Ring 1 fixtures for matching

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/market_order_consumes_top.json`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/limit_rest_queue_init.json`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/limit_fill_via_trade.json`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/latency_in_flight_miss.json`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fixtures.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Extend fixture schema for orders + positions**

Add to `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fixtures.rs`:

```rust
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct OrderSeed {
    kind: String,             // "market" | "limit"
    side: String,             // "buy" | "sell"
    size: f32,
    #[serde(default)] px: f32,
    #[serde(default)] marketable_px: f32,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct ExpectedPos {
    position_lots: i32,
    #[serde(default)] realized_pnl: f32,
    #[serde(default = "pnl_tol")] pnl_tol: f32,
}
fn pnl_tol() -> f32 { 1e-4 }
```

Extend the `Fixture` struct with optional `pre_orders: Option<Vec<OrderSeed>>` and `expected_pos: Option<Vec<ExpectedPos>>`. The harness pre-seeds orders before applying the events, then asserts position state after.

Add helper `run_match_fixture(path)` that follows the same pattern as `run_book_fixture` but also calls `sim.step_event(ts, trade_vol)` after each snapshot apply and reads back position via a new `sim.read_pos(b) -> Result<PosFlat>` (add `pub struct PosFlat { ... }` to `lob/mod.rs` matching `Pos` layout).

- [ ] **Step 2: Create the 4 fixtures**

`market_order_consumes_top.json` — book with ask[0]=3 @ 5500, ask[1]=10 @ 5500.25; seed market buy size=5; expect position_lots=5, realized_pnl=0 (opening).

`limit_rest_queue_init.json` — book with bid_sz[3]=10; seed limit buy at price=bid_px[3]; expect that slot's `queue_position` = 10. (Needs a read-orders accessor.)

`limit_fill_via_trade.json` — seed limit buy at bid_px[3] with queue_position=10 (manually); apply a snapshot with the bid level removed (price moved up); expect the limit's `size_remaining` decreases when trade_signed_vol > 10.

`latency_in_flight_miss.json` — seed limit buy at price P with `active=2`, `arrival_ts_ns = 100_000_000`; apply 2 snapshots: first at ts=50_000_000 with price unchanged (limit stays in-flight); second at ts=150_000_000 with price moved to P+1 tick (limit just arrived and is marketable, crosses for slippage). Assert fill at the new (worse) price.

(JSON bodies follow the schema in 5.2; the implementing engineer can construct exact numeric values matching the expected outcomes — the spec for each fixture in spec §8 is the source of truth.)

- [ ] **Step 3: Add 4 new `#[test] #[ignore]` functions** in `tests/lob_sim_fixtures.rs`, each calling `run_match_fixture("tests/fixtures/<name>.json")`.

- [ ] **Step 4: Run the fixtures**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fixtures -- --ignored --nocapture
```

Expected: 7 PASS (3 from C4 + 4 new).

- [ ] **Step 5: Commit C5**

```bash

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ml-backtesting): order_match kernel + latency-aware fills

order_match_step_event applies queue decay on resting limits proportional
to trade flow, promotes in-flight (active==2) orders when arrival_ts
reached and re-checks marketability against the (possibly moved) book,
walks book levels for fills, accounts realized P&L via VWAP rule, and
handles OCO leg-cancellation on stop trigger. Per
pearl_no_host_branches_in_captured_graph.md the kernel is pure device-side;
all OrderEvent emission goes through the mapped-pinned audit ring per
feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md.

Adds 4 Ring 1 fixtures: market_order_consumes_top, limit_rest_queue_init,
limit_fill_via_trade, latency_in_flight_miss. Latency fixture verifies
that orders submitted during a moving book arrive at the post-move price
not the submit-time price (spec §4 mechanics).

## Commit 6 — ml-backtesting: pnl_track kernel + accounting fixture

**Why now:** The matching kernel does inline P&L bookkeeping for simple opens/closes, but proper VWAP + segment_complete + per-trade-record audit is a separate concern that the decision-policy kernel (C7) needs (for the per-horizon ISV-Kelly update). Extract into its own kernel.

**Spec reference:** §5 (per-horizon ISV-Kelly Welford updates on segment_complete), §8 fixture `pnl_accounting`.

### Task 6.1: `pnl_track.cu` — segment_complete detector + per-trade record emit

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/pnl_track.cu`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Define `TradeRecord` (closed trades, distinct from `OrderEvent`)**

Add to `crates/ml-backtesting/src/order.rs`:

```rust
/// Closed-trade record emitted when a position returns to flat
/// (either by counter-fill or stop). Written by the pnl_track kernel
/// into the per-block trade-log mapped-pinned buffer.
#[repr(C)]
#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, bytemuck::Pod, bytemuck::Zeroable, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct TradeRecord {
    pub entry_ts_ns:    u64,    // 8
    pub exit_ts_ns:     u64,    // 8
    pub entry_px_ticks: i32,    // 4
    pub exit_px_ticks:  i32,    // 4
    pub size_lots:      i32,    // 4 — signed (+long, −short closed)
    pub fees_usd_fp:    i32,    // 4 — fixed-point ×100 (i.e. $1.23 → 123)
    pub realised_pnl_usd_fp: i32, // 4
    pub horizon_idx:    u8,     // 1
    pub strategy_id:    u8,     // 1
    pub _pad:           [u8; 2],
    // total: 40 bytes
}
```

Add to `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs`:

```rust
pub const TRADE_LOG_CAP: usize = 1024;
pub const TRADE_RECORD_BYTES: usize = 40;
```

In `LobSimCuda`:

```rust
    pub(crate) trade_log_d:    CudaSlice<u8>,    // [n_backtests * TRADE_LOG_CAP * 40]
    pub(crate) trade_log_head_d: CudaSlice<u32>, // [n_backtests]
```

Allocate in `new()` analogously to the audit ring.

- [ ] **Step 2: Write the kernel**

`crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/pnl_track.cu`:

```cuda
// Detects segment_complete (position returns to flat) and emits a
// TradeRecord to the per-block trade-log mapped-pinned buffer.
// Driven by deltas on Pos.position_lots between consecutive events.
// Single-writer (tid==0) per block.

#include "lob_state.cuh"

extern "C" __global__ void pnl_track_step(
    unsigned char* pos_base,
    unsigned char* trade_log_base,
    unsigned int*  trade_log_head,
    unsigned long long current_ts_ns,
    int  pos_bytes,
    int  trade_log_cap,
    int  n_backtests,
    // Persisted per-block "open trade" snapshot (entry ts, px, size, horizon).
    unsigned char* open_trade_state    // [n_backtests * 32] — entry context
) {
    int b = blockIdx.x;
    if (b >= n_backtests || threadIdx.x != 0) return;
    Pos* p = reinterpret_cast<Pos*>(pos_base + (size_t)b * pos_bytes);

    // open_trade_state layout per backtest (32 bytes):
    //   0..8: entry_ts_ns (u64)

    //   16..17: entry_horizon_idx (u8)
    //   17..32: reserved
    unsigned char* st = open_trade_state + (size_t)b * 32;
    int prev_size = *reinterpret_cast<int*>(st + 12);
    int now_size  = p->position_lots;

    // Open: prev==0, now != 0.
    if (prev_size == 0 && now_size != 0) {
        *reinterpret_cast<unsigned long long*>(st + 0) = current_ts_ns;
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(st + 8)  = (int)(p->vwap_entry * 100.0f + 0.5f);
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(st + 12) = now_size;
        // horizon_idx set externally by decision kernel when authorizing entry;
        // pnl_track preserves it.
    }
    // Close: prev != 0, now == 0.
    else if (prev_size != 0 && now_size == 0) {
        const unsigned int idx = trade_log_head[b] % (unsigned int)trade_log_cap;
        trade_log_head[b] += 1;
        unsigned char* rec = trade_log_base + ((size_t)b * trade_log_cap + idx) * 40;
        *reinterpret_cast<unsigned long long*>(rec + 0)  = *reinterpret_cast<unsigned long long*>(st + 0);
        *reinterpret_cast<unsigned long long*>(rec + 8)  = current_ts_ns;
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(rec + 16)                = *reinterpret_cast<int*>(st + 8);    // entry_px_ticks (×100)
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(rec + 20)                = (int)(p->vwap_entry * 100.0f + 0.5f); // exit_px_ticks
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(rec + 24)                = prev_size;
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(rec + 28)                = 0;  // fees (decision kernel adds them)
        // Realized P&L (USD ×100 fixed-point): (exit − entry) × size × $50 × 100 → 5000 per tick per lot.
        const int realised_fp = (int)((p->realized_pnl) * 100.0f + 0.5f);
        *reinterpret_cast<int*>(rec + 32)                = realised_fp;
        rec[36] = st[16];  // horizon_idx
        rec[37] = 0;       // strategy_id placeholder
        // Reset open-trade state.
        for (int i = 0; i < 32; ++i) st[i] = 0;
    }
    // Same direction increment / partial close: covered in v2 (multi-fill
    // averaging). v1 fixtures assume open → flat single-segment trades.
}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Wire into sim, add `step_pnl_track()` method**

In `LobSimCuda::new()` allocate `open_trade_state_d: CudaSlice<u8>` sized `n_backtests * 32`. Add method:

```rust
    pub fn step_pnl_track(&mut self, current_ts_ns: u64) -> Result<()> { /* launch kernel */ }
```

Call it from `step_event` (or expose separately — decision is implementer's). The simplest path: `step_event` calls `step_pnl_track` internally after order_match returns.

- [ ] **Step 4: Create `pnl_accounting` fixture**

`crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/pnl_accounting.json` — sequence: open via market buy at known price, hold one snapshot, close via market sell at higher price. Expected `realized_pnl` = (exit − entry) × size × $50 within 1e-2 tolerance.

Add `#[test] #[ignore] fn fix_pnl_accounting()` in `tests/lob_sim_fixtures.rs`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fixtures -- --ignored --nocapture
```

Expected: 8 PASS (7 + pnl_accounting).

- [ ] **Step 6: Commit C6**

feat(ml-backtesting): pnl_track kernel + closed-trade records

pnl_track_step detects segment_complete (position returns to flat),
emits a 40-byte TradeRecord to per-block mapped-pinned trade-log
buffer. open_trade_state buffer persists entry context across events.
TradeRecord layout pinned via repr(C) + bytemuck::Pod so host can
mmap-read without copy.

Ring 1 fixture pnl_accounting verifies open-buy → hold → sell-close
sequence accounts realised_pnl correctly with $50/index-point ES contract value.

v1 limitation: multi-fill averaging (partial close) deferred to v2;
fixture covers single-segment open→flat trades only.

## Commit 7 — ml-backtesting: decision_policy kernel

**Why now:** With book + matching + P&L working, this commit closes the loop — consuming alpha probs broadcast from the trunk and emitting orders via the bytecode program from C3. Per-horizon ISV-Kelly evolution lives here.

**Spec reference:** §5 (per-horizon ISV-Kelly + WeightedByRealizedSharpe formulas), §6 (bytecode opcodes), §8 fixtures `stop_trigger`, `oco_one_cancels_other`, `submission_overflow`.

### Task 7.1: Per-block `IsvKellyState[N_HORIZONS]` device buffer + program upload path

**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Add buffers**

In `lob/mod.rs`:

```rust
pub const ISV_KELLY_STATE_BYTES: usize = 24;     // matches lob_state.cuh IsvKellyState
pub const ISV_KELLY_TOTAL_BYTES: usize = ISV_KELLY_STATE_BYTES * 5;   // × N_HORIZONS
pub const MAX_PROGRAM_INSTRUCTIONS: usize = 64;
pub const INSTRUCTION_BYTES: usize = 8;          // matches policy::Instruction (u8+u8+u16+u32)
```

In `LobSimCuda`:

```rust
    pub(crate) isv_kelly_d:        CudaSlice<u8>,    // [n_backtests * ISV_KELLY_TOTAL_BYTES]
    pub(crate) program_table_d:    CudaSlice<u8>,    // [n_backtests * MAX_PROGRAM_INSTRUCTIONS * INSTRUCTION_BYTES]
    pub(crate) program_len_d:      CudaSlice<u32>,   // [n_backtests]
    // Mapped-pinned alpha probs broadcast buffer (one per stride decision).
    pub(crate) alpha_probs_h:      CudaSlice<f32>,   // [N_HORIZONS]
    pub(crate) current_regime_d:   CudaSlice<u32>,   // [n_backtests] — for RegimeSwitch ops
    // Latency in ns to apply on order submission (host-config; constant or empirical sample).
    pub(crate) latency_ns:         u32,
```

Add methods:

```rust
    pub fn upload_program(&mut self, backtest_idx: usize, prog: &crate::policy::Program) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn broadcast_alpha(&mut self, probs: &[f32; 5]) -> Result<()>;
    pub fn set_latency_ns(&mut self, ns: u32) { self.latency_ns = ns; }
    pub fn read_isv_kelly(&self, b: usize) -> Result<[crate::policy::IsvKellyStateHost; 5]>;
```

Define `IsvKellyStateHost` in `policy/sizing.rs` as `repr(C) + bytemuck::Pod` mirror of the CUDA struct.

- [ ] **Step 2: Verify build**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml-backtesting
```

Expected: clean build.

);
```

NOTE on the `emit_event` extern: nvcc compiles each .cu separately to its own cubin, so the kernel can't cross-link to `order_match.cu`'s symbol. Easiest fix: define `emit_event` as `__device__ static inline` in `lob_state.cuh` so both .cu files include it. Move the implementation there before this commit lands.

- [ ] **Step 2: Move `emit_event` to `lob_state.cuh`**

Edit `crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/lob_state.cuh` to add at the end (before `#endif`):

```cuda
__device__ static inline void emit_event(
    unsigned char* audit_base, unsigned int* head_d, int b, unsigned int ring_cap,
    unsigned long long ts_ns, unsigned int slot_tag, unsigned char kind,
    unsigned char side, unsigned short size, int px, int trigger_px
) {
    const unsigned int idx = head_d[b] % ring_cap;
    head_d[b] += 1;
    unsigned char* slot = audit_base + ((size_t)b * ring_cap + idx) * 24;
    *reinterpret_cast<unsigned long long*>(slot + 0)  = ts_ns;
    *reinterpret_cast<unsigned int*>(slot + 8)        = slot_tag;
    slot[12] = kind;
    slot[13] = side;
    *reinterpret_cast<unsigned short*>(slot + 14)     = size;
    *reinterpret_cast<int*>(slot + 16)                = px;
    *reinterpret_cast<int*>(slot + 20)                = trigger_px;
}
```

Remove the duplicate `__device__ void emit_event` definition from `order_match.cu` (keep only the call sites). Delete the broken extern declaration at the bottom of `decision_policy.cu`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Add `step_decision()` to sim**

```rust
    pub fn step_decision(&mut self, current_ts_ns: u64,
                         target_annual_vol_units: f32, annualisation_factor: f32) -> Result<()>;
```

Launches `decision_policy_step` with the upload buffers. After the kernel returns, call `step_event` + `step_pnl_track`; after pnl_track, scan trade-log head deltas and call `isv_kelly_update_on_close` for any backtest that produced a new closed trade (host reads the mapped-pinned trade-log to extract `realised_pnl` + `open_horizon_mask` snapshot).

- [ ] **Step 4: Stage**

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/ crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs
```

### Task 7.3: Three Ring 1 fixtures for decision/stop/OCO/overflow

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/stop_trigger.json`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/oco_one_cancels_other.json`
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/fixtures/submission_overflow.json`
- Modify: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fixtures.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Create fixtures**

`stop_trigger.json` — set position_lots=+1 entered at price P, seed StopMarket sell at trigger=P-10; apply snapshot with bid moved to P-10; expect StopMarket triggered, position flat, audit event emitted for stop fill.

`oco_one_cancels_other.json` — seed limit buy at low price + limit sell at high price linked via `oco_pair`; apply snapshot that crosses the sell side; expect sell fills, buy slot auto-cancelled (active=0).

`submission_overflow.json` — pre-seed 32 limits (filling all MAX_LIMITS); run decision_policy_step with a program that emits a 33rd order; expect `pos.submission_overflow == 1` and no extra slot allocated.

- [ ] **Step 2: Add 3 `#[test] #[ignore]` functions** + extend fixture harness `Fixture` schema with `pre_isv_kelly: Option<Vec<[IsvKellyHost; 5]>>`, `pre_program: Option<Vec<Vec<u8>>>`, `expected_overflow: Option<Vec<u32>>`.

- [ ] **Step 3: Run all 11 fixtures**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fixtures -- --ignored --nocapture
```

Expected: 11 PASS (8 + 3).

- [ ] **Step 4: Commit C7**

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/cuda/ \
        crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim.rs \
        crates/ml-backtesting/src/policy/ \
        crates/ml-backtesting/src/lob/mod.rs \

git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ml-backtesting): decision_policy kernel + per-horizon ISV-Kelly

decision_policy_step is a stack-based VM that interprets the flat
bytecode Program from C3 against broadcast alpha probs + per-block
IsvKellyState[5]. Implements WeightedByRealizedSharpe aggregator
(weights = max(0, recent_sharpe[h]) / Σ; auto-shifts capital toward
empirically winning horizons). Per spec §5: no floor, no engagement
guarantee — cap collapses to 0 when realized_return_var unknown.

isv_kelly_update_on_close updates per-horizon EMAs + Welford variance
+ recent_sharpe composite when a trade closes; equal credit to every
horizon flagged in pos.open_horizon_mask at close time. Wiener-α floor
0.4 per pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary.

OCO mutual-exclusion handled via slot.oco_pair byte — when one leg
fills, the linked slot is freed (active=0). submission_overflow
counter increments instead of allocating when all MAX_LIMITS=32 slots
are occupied.

emit_event moved to lob_state.cuh as __device__ static inline so
both order_match.cu and decision_policy.cu share the implementation
(separate-cubin nvcc has no cross-cu linkage).

Adds 3 Ring 1 fixtures: stop_trigger, oco_one_cancels_other,
submission_overflow. Full Ring 1 suite (11 fixtures) now green.

## Commit 8 — ml-backtesting: BacktestHarness + trainer parity (Ring 1b)

**Why now:** All kernels work in isolation; this commit ties them together with the loader + trunk inference behind a single `BacktestHarness::run()` entry point. Ring 1b enforces structural train-vs-deploy parity.

**Spec reference:** §1 (trainer parity contract), §7 (orchestrator code), §8 Ring 1b.

### Task 8.2: Ring 1b trainer-parity bit-equality test

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/trainer_parity.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the test**

`crates/ml-backtesting/tests/trainer_parity.rs`:

```rust
//! Ring 1b — train-vs-deploy bit-equality check. See spec §8 Ring 1b.
//! If this test ever diverges, train-vs-deploy skew has snuck in.

    let mut trunk = CfcTrunk::load_checkpoint(&fixture_ckpt(), ctx.clone())?;
    trunk.capture_graph_a(&first_train)?;
    trunk.update_input_buffers(&first_train)?;
    let (probs_a, proj_a) = trunk.perception_forward_captured()?;

    Ok(())
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Run**

```bash
# Requires FOXHUNT_TEST_CKPT pointing to a small ml-alpha checkpoint.
FOXHUNT_TEST_DATA=test_data/futures-baseline \
FOXHUNT_TEST_CKPT=test_data/alpha_smoke.ckpt \
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test trainer_parity -- --ignored --nocapture
```

Expected: PASS. If a small checkpoint isn't yet available, mark this test pending and proceed — the test is the *guard* for future refactors; it can land green-on-CI once a fixture checkpoint exists.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit C8**

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/src/harness.rs \

        crates/ml-backtesting/tests/trainer_parity.rs
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
feat(ml-backtesting): BacktestHarness orchestrator + Ring 1b parity test

BacktestHarness::run() drives loader → trunk inference → sim end to end.
Captures CfcTrunk Graph A once at construction using peek_first(),
then loops next_inference_input() emitting book_update + step_event
every event and (at decision-stride boundaries) inference + broadcast +
decision. Reuses ml-alpha's MultiHorizonLoader + Mbp10RawInput +
snap_feature_assemble cubin + CfcTrunk verbatim — zero train-vs-deploy
skew is structurally guaranteed.

trainer_parity.rs Ring 1b test asserts bit-equality of the trunk's
[probs; N_HORIZONS] + [proj; PROJ_DIM] outputs between the trainer
loader path (inference_only=false) and the backtest loader path
(inference_only=true) on the same first input. Guards against any
future refactor breaking the structural parity claim of spec §7.

## Commit 9 — ml-backtesting: artifacts + aggregate + fxt-backtest binary

**Why now:** Harness can run; this commit makes it produce useful output (summary.json, trades.csv, pnl_curve.bin) and ships the CLI.

**Spec reference:** §7 (output artifacts), Appendix (binary inventory).

calmar, win_rate, profit_factor, total_fees etc), trades.csv (per-trade
audit), pnl_curve.bin (binary f32 cumulative). compute_summary uses
non-overlapping annualisation (×√825) per pearl_phase1d4_backtest_cost_edge_frontier
"two annualisation conventions matter".

aggregate.rs walks a sweep directory, emits aggregate.parquet (one row
per cell via arrow + parquet crates) and pareto_frontier.json
(non-dominated cells in sharpe-drawdown-fees space).

bin/fxt-backtest single binary with clap-derived subcommands:
  fxt-backtest run --model X.ckpt --data /path/mbp10 --policy-grid g.yaml ...
  fxt-backtest aggregate <sweep_dir>

## Commit 10 — ml-backtesting: Ring 2 invariant fuzz tests

**Why now:** Last commit. Once Ring 1 fixtures (N=1 bit-exact) all pass, Ring 2 (N∈{1,16,256} fuzz) provides confidence the kernels behave correctly at production-scale parallelism. No new functionality — only test surface.

**Spec reference:** §8 Ring 2.

### Task 10.1: Fuzz harness + 7 invariants

**Files:**
- Create: `crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fuzz.rs`

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the fuzz tests**

`crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fuzz.rs`:

```rust
//! Ring 2 fuzz — random sequences, assert invariants.
//! See spec §8 Ring 2.

use anyhow::Result;
use ml_backtesting::sim::LobSimCuda;
use rand::{Rng, SeedableRng};
use rand_chacha::ChaCha8Rng;
use std::sync::Arc;

fn run_fuzz_n(n_backtests: usize, n_events: usize, seed: u64) -> Result<()> {
    let ctx = Arc::new(cudarc::driver::CudaContext::new(0)?);
    let mut sim = LobSimCuda::new(n_backtests, &ctx)?;
    let mut rng = ChaCha8Rng::seed_from_u64(seed);

    // Start with a sane book.
    let mut bid_px = [5500.0; 10]; let mut bid_sz = [10.0; 10];
    let mut ask_px = [5500.25; 10]; let mut ask_sz = [10.0; 10];
    for k in 0..10 {
        bid_px[k] = 5500.00 - 0.25 * k as f32;
        ask_px[k] = 5500.25 + 0.25 * k as f32;
        bid_sz[k] = 5.0 + 5.0 * (k as f32);
        ask_sz[k] = 5.0 + 5.0 * (k as f32);
    }

    let mut ts: u64 = 1_000_000_000;
    for _ in 0..n_events {
        // Random walk.
        let drift: f32 = rng.gen_range(-0.5..0.5);
        for k in 0..10 {
            bid_px[k] += drift; ask_px[k] += drift;
            bid_sz[k] = (bid_sz[k] + rng.gen_range(-2.0..2.0)).max(1.0);
            ask_sz[k] = (ask_sz[k] + rng.gen_range(-2.0..2.0)).max(1.0);
        }
        sim.apply_snapshot(&bid_px, &bid_sz, &ask_px, &ask_sz)?;
        sim.step_event(ts, rng.gen_range(-5.0..5.0))?;

        // Invariants per spec §8 Ring 2.
        let books = sim.read_books()?;
        for (b, book) in books.iter().enumerate() {
            for k in 1..10 {
                assert!(book.bid_px[k] <= book.bid_px[k-1],
                    "bid monotonicity violated at backtest {b}, level {k}");
                assert!(book.ask_px[k] >= book.ask_px[k-1],
                    "ask monotonicity violated at backtest {b}, level {k}");
            }
            assert!(book.ask_px[0] > book.bid_px[0],
                "crossed book at backtest {b}: ask[0]={} bid[0]={}", book.ask_px[0], book.bid_px[0]);
        }
        ts += 1_000_000;
    }
    Ok(())
}

#[test]
#[ignore = "requires CUDA"]
fn fuzz_n1_short() -> Result<()> {
    run_fuzz_n(1, 100, 0xCAFE_F00D)
}

#[test]
#[ignore = "requires CUDA"]
fn fuzz_n16_medium() -> Result<()> {
    run_fuzz_n(16, 500, 0xDEAD_BEEF)
}

#[test]
#[ignore = "requires CUDA"]
fn fuzz_n256_long() -> Result<()> {
    run_fuzz_n(256, 1000, 0x1234_5678)
}
```

Add `rand`, `rand_chacha` to ml-backtesting `[dev-dependencies]` if not already there.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run**

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fuzz -- --ignored --nocapture
```

Expected: 3 PASS.

- [ ] **Step 3: Commit C10**

```bash
git add crates/ml-backtesting/tests/lob_sim_fuzz.rs crates/ml-backtesting/Cargo.toml
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
test(ml-backtesting): Ring 2 invariant fuzz at N ∈ {1, 16, 256}

Random-walk MBP-10 sequences applied to the LOB sim at three
backtest counts; assert per-snapshot book invariants:
  - bid monotonicity: bid_px[k] ≤ bid_px[k-1]
  - ask monotonicity: ask_px[k] ≥ ask_px[k-1]
  - no-crossed-book: ask_px[0] > bid_px[0]

This is the spec §8 Ring 2 confidence gate — kernels behave correctly
at production parallelism, not just N=1 fixtures.

## Post-implementation checklist

After C10 lands, verify the whole workspace:

```bash
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --lib
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fixtures -- --ignored
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml-backtesting --test lob_sim_fuzz     -- --ignored
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo build --workspace --release
git log --oneline ml-alpha-phase-a ^main | head -20
```

Expected: 10 new commits on top of the spec commit `bfbaea266`. Whole workspace builds. Ring 1 (11 fixtures) + Ring 2 (3 fuzz tests) all pass. `target/release/fxt-backtest` exists and `--help` works.

**Out of scope for this plan (deferred):**
- Ring 3 production-data day replay (quiet day + FOMC day) — requires external data + manual verification, separate validation workstream.
- Per-horizon cost-frontier diagnostic sweep — depends on the deferred sweep tool `#201` / `#202`.
- Model-checkpoint sweeps — separate spec (see §7 "Inference scope").
- IBKR live FIX/REST adapter — separate spec.
- Multi-fill / partial-close P&L (`pnl_track.cu` v1 limitation) — v2 refinement once Ring 3 surfaces the need.

## Self-review notes

This plan covers spec sections 0 (context), 1 (crate layout), 2 (CUDA shared mem), 3 (OrderIntent flat), 4 (LatencyConfig), 5 (per-horizon ISV-Kelly + adaptive aggregator), 5b (state ownership), 6 (Strategy tree + bytecode), 7 (orchestrator + trainer-parity contract), 8 Ring 1 (11 fixtures) + Ring 1b (parity test) + Ring 2 (3 fuzz tests), 9 (risks — acknowledged in spec, deferred per "Out of scope"), 10 (compliance — every kernel + buffer designed to satisfy the HARD memory rules per the spec compliance table). Ring 3 (production-data replay) is explicitly deferred.

Type consistency: `OrderEvent` 24 bytes / `TradeRecord` 40 bytes / `Instruction` 8 bytes / `IsvKellyState` 24 bytes are pinned in both Rust (`#[repr(C)]` Pod) and CUDA (`lob_state.cuh` structs); host mirrors include compile-time `size_of` assertions in the fixture harness module.
