feat(ml-alpha): Phase 5 — trail-max + MTM reward + entropy formula fix

Browse Source 
Three coupled structural fixes for the TrailLoosen-pathology identified
by the Phase 4-A3 ultrathink investigation. Single-seed smoke
(FOXHUNT_BAND_ENABLED=1, seed 42, b=128): eval pnl improved from
-$794k (4-A3) to -$444k = +$350k loss reduction (44% less negative).
Win rate 37.1% (was 31.7%).

## Fix 1: Trail-max ceiling (new ISV slot 814)

RL_TRAIL_MAX_INITIAL_R_RATIO_INDEX bootstrap 4.0. In rl_trail_mutate.cu,
clamp unit_trail_distance ≤ initial_trail × 4.0. Without this the
TrailLoosen action (× 1.1 per fire) grew distances to 2959 ticks
(~$37k risk per position) per the Phase 4-A3 diagnostic.

Test: trail_max_clamped_by_initial_r_ratio — verified that after 30
TrailLoosen fires, trail clamped at 4.0× (uncapped would have been
17.4×, a 4.4× reduction).

Empirical effect: TrailLoosen at smoke final = 0/128 batches (was
49/128 = 38% in Phase 4-A3). The arbitrage is mechanically eliminated.

## Fix 2: Mark-to-market reward (new ISV slots 815/816)

RL_MTM_REWARD_ENABLED_INDEX (bootstrap 1.0) + RL_MTM_REWARD_WEIGHT_INDEX
(bootstrap 1.0). New Phase 1.6 in rl_fused_reward_pipeline.cu:

    r += w_mtm × (unrealized_now − unrealized_prev)

Per-step reward proportional to total wealth delta (realized +
unrealized). Penalizes holding losers in real-time. Total reward over
a complete trade is identical to legacy (unrealized → 0 at close);
only the temporal distribution changes — with γ < 1, held losers are
visibly painful in the discounted return, closing actions get learned
properly.

Test: mtm_reward_disabled_matches_legacy — verified A/B gate cleanly
disables to legacy realized-only path. unrealized_pnl read from
pos.vwap_entry + current mid via standard accounting.

Empirical effect: FlatFromLong action appears in policy (was 0 in
4-A3), win rate up 5.4pp.

## Fix 3: Entropy gradient formula (correctness)

rl_q_pi_distill_grad.cu:131 had spurious +1.0f:

    BEFORE: grad_entropy = -alpha × pi_a × (log_pi_a + 1.0f + s_entropy)
    AFTER:  grad_entropy = -alpha × pi_a × (log_pi_a + s_entropy)

True ∂(-H)/∂logit_a = π(a)·(log π(a) + H) per textbook softmax-entropy
gradient. Sign was correct; magnitude was 3× too aggressive on dominant
actions and 2-3× too weak on low-prob actions.

Test: entropy_gradient_matches_analytical — verified across all 11
actions with H=1.4931, kernel matches analytical formula within 1e-5.

## Verification

* 3/3 phase_5_invariants tests PASS

## Falsification gates

* G_mechanism (no NaN, exit 0): PASS
* G_no_regression (pnl ≥ -$5M): PASS by wide margin (-$444k)
* G_trail_bounded: PASS (0 TrailLoosen fires at final, ceiling working)
* G_action_diversity (entropy ≥ 1.0): FAIL (0.22 — new pure-Hold
  conservatism failure mode emerges; the policy learns "don't open
  trades" as the safest path with all the constraints in place)

## Analysis of the new failure mode

The Phase 5 fixes worked exactly as designed: trail-max eliminated
the runaway risk mechanism, MTM made held losers painful, entropy
formula now matches theory. But with all three counter-pressures
applied, the policy's safest equilibrium is "Hold + occasionally
close." It's a strictly BETTER failure than 4-A3 (less negative pnl,
less risk-taking, cleaner action discipline), but still degenerate.

This is the conservation point: with TrailLoosen blocked, MTM
penalizing held losers, and quadratic cost on trades, the policy
discovers that doing NOTHING is approximately break-even. Genuinely
profitable opening is harder to learn than this no-trade baseline,
and Q-distill's distillation pressure plus SAC α saturation can't
push the policy off it.

Next investigation: WHY can't the policy discover profitable opens?
Either (a) the encoder isn't seeing actionable alpha signals, or (b)
the gradient flow to open-actions is too weak relative to the
counter-pressure stack. This is a separate spec.

## Linked

* Phase 4-A3: 65c328d3f (band foundation)
* Phase 4 cluster verdict: alpha-rl-4hq7c (band works at scale;
  same TrailLoosen pathology confirmed at cluster)
* Phase 4-A3 ultrathink diagnosis: identified the TrailLoosen
  pathology + entropy formula bug + this fix design

//! Phase 5 (2026-06-04) invariants — trail-max ceiling + MTM reward +
//! entropy formula correctness.
//!
//! Three coupled fixes addressing the bimodal Hold+TrailLoosen pathology
//! diagnosed by the Phase 4-A3 ultrathink investigation:
//!
//! 1. `trail_max_clamped_by_initial_r_ratio` — repeated TrailLoosen
//! fires; verify `unit_trail_distance ≤ unit_initial_r ·
//! RL_TRAIL_MAX_INITIAL_R_RATIO_INDEX` after the kernel runs.
//! 2. `mtm_reward_disabled_matches_legacy` — with
//! `RL_MTM_REWARD_ENABLED_INDEX = 0`, the fused reward pipeline
//! output equals the legacy close-event `realized_pnl_delta`. This
//! is the bit-equality A/B guarantee.
//! 3. `entropy_gradient_matches_analytical` — synthesize logits, run
//! `rl_q_pi_distill_grad`, compute the analytical entropy
//! gradient `-α · π(a) · (log π(a) + H)` on the host, compare
//! within fp32 noise floor.
//!
//! Per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks`: oracles are analytical (closed-
//! form derivative + bound check), no CPU reference impl.
//! Per `feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned`: all transfers go via
//! mapped-pinned `write_slice_*_d_pub` helpers.
//!
//! Run with:
//! `cargo test -p ml-alpha --test phase_5_invariants --release -- --ignored --nocapture`
