feat(ml): WAVE 29 DQN Codebase Cleanup & Refactoring Campaign

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed orphaned dqn.rs monolithic trainer (4,975 lines)
- Removed orphaned dqn_ensemble.rs module (816 lines)
- Removed orphaned tft.rs and tft_complete_int8_integration_test.rs
- TFT trainer split into modular directory structure

DQN Module Refactoring:
- Split trainers/dqn.rs into modular structure (config.rs, statistics.rs, trainer.rs)
- Fixed hyperopt 39D search space (continuous params only)
- Boolean flags (use_dueling, use_double_dqn, use_per, use_noisy_nets) are now FIXED architectural decisions
- use_distributional defaults to false (Candle BUG #36 - scatter_add gradient issues)

Clean Module Structure:
- ml/src/trainers/dqn/ directory with proper mod.rs exports
- ml/src/trainers/tft/ directory with config.rs, types.rs, model.rs, trainer.rs, tests.rs
- All P0 features validated: TD-error clamping, batch diversity, LR scheduler, priority staleness

Documentation:
- Added comprehensive docs in docs/codebase-cleanup/
- ADR-001 for DQN refactoring decisions
- Rainbow DQN component matrix and quick reference guides

Build Status: Compiles with zero errors

│ DECAY FORMULA │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
decay = decay_factor ^ (age / max_age)
new_priority = max(old_priority × decay, min_priority)
Example with defaults (max_age=10k, decay_factor=0.9):
Age = 15,000 steps
decay = 0.9^(15000/10000) = 0.9^1.5 ≈ 0.857
Original priority: 1.0 → New priority: 0.857

│ 20,000 │ 0.81 │ 0.81 │

┌──────────────────────────┐
│ apply_staleness_decay() │ → Automatically called!

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TEST COVERAGE │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
✓ test_priority_staleness_decay()
- Verifies decay formula correctness
- Checks age > max_age triggers decay
- Confirms age < max_age preserves priority
✓ test_staleness_tracking_on_push()
- Validates timestamp recording on new experiences
✓ test_staleness_tracking_on_update()
- Validates timestamp updates after priority changes
- Confirms non-updated experiences retain old timestamps

│ PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Memory Overhead:
┌────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ Buffer Size │ Additional │
├────────────────┼──────────────┤
│ 10,000 │ 80 KB │
│ 100,000 │ 800 KB │
│ 1,000,000 │ 7.6 MB │
└────────────────┴──────────────┘
Computational Cost:
- O(N) per sample() call where N = buffer size
- Early exit for young experiences
- Typical: <1ms for 100k buffer
Lock Contention:
- RwLock (read-heavy workload)
- 1 write per push/update
- 1 read per sample
- Minimal contention expected
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Conservative (Default):
max_age: 10,000 steps, decay_factor: 0.9
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Gradual decay │
│ Suitable for most training runs │
│ Good balance of stability/refresh │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Aggressive:
max_age: 5,000 steps, decay_factor: 0.8
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Faster staleness detection │
│ Better for rapidly changing envs │
│ More sample diversity │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Gentle:
max_age: 20,000 steps, decay_factor: 0.95
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Slower decay │
│ For stable environments │
│ Preserves long-term patterns │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
