From 39d4577b77f19dba0e8cf0726b812e2f20446939 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 07:44:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(sp21):=20T2.2=20Phase=208.1=20=E2=80=94=20?= =?UTF-8?q?signal-drive=20agree=5Fthr=20clamp=20bounds=20via=20val=5Fsharp?= =?UTF-8?q?e=5Fstd=20(atomic)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes the last hardcoded anchor in compute_agreement_threshold per pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven. Smoke-driven motivation: the 9-cycle smoke run of commit 1d2dd38a1 (Phases 1.5..8) produced monotonic agree_thr loosening from 1.30 → 10.00, hitting the hardcoded upper clamp on cycle 9. Bound formula: scale = (1.0 + val_sharpe_std × 2.0).clamp(1.0, 5.0) lo = 0.01 / scale hi = 10.0 × scale Bound behaviour: val_sharpe_std=0 (cold) → scale=1.00 → [0.01, 10.0] (= pre-8.1 baseline) val_sharpe_std=0.05 (mild) → scale=1.10 → [0.009, 11.0] val_sharpe_std=0.30 (noisy)→ scale=1.60 → [0.006, 16.0] val_sharpe_std≥2.0 (extreme) → scale=5.00 → [0.002, 50.0] (Invariant 1 ceiling) The 2.0× multiplier and [1.0, 5.0] scale clamp are themselves hardcoded but explicitly Invariant 1 carve-outs (numerical- stability bounds on the bound formula, NOT controller anchors). The recursion terminates at structural floors/ceilings per pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary's canonical pattern — making meta-meta-meta-bounds signal-driven gains nothing. Cold-start preservation: prior special-case short-circuit returned current.clamp(0.01, 10.0). New formula reduces to that exact behaviour when std=0 (scale=1, lo=0.01, hi=10.0). The short-circuit is retained for explicit "no update on cold start" semantics. No behavioural regression at cold-start. Files changed: - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: compute_agreement_ threshold clamp refactor (single-function change, no ABI churn) - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry with full smoke cycle table Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate: a repeat smoke should show agree_thr breaking past 10.0 as val_sharpe_std drives bounds outward. SP21 T2.2 cascade — FULLY COMPLETE after this commit. 12 atomic commits, no hardcoded anchors remaining in enrichment controllers (only Invariant 1 stability carve-outs on bound-on-bound formulas, which terminate the recursion).
