From 3fa215ad2e940cbe8919225466bb646e7af48dce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 09:31:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(ml-alpha): CfcTrunk save/load checkpoint + --checkpoint CLI (C14) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CfcTrunk::save_checkpoint(path) reads each device weight tensor back via memcpy_dtoh and bincode-serialises into a CheckpointV1 envelope: { version, n_in, n_hid, w_in, w_rec, b, tau, heads_w, heads_b, proj_w, proj_b, proj_g, proj_n } Total ~22k-25k f32 = ~90 KB per trunk. Tiny. CfcTrunk::load_checkpoint(dev, cfg, path) deserialises + validates (version == 1, n_in/n_hid match the supplied CfcConfig — a model trained for one arch can't silently load against another). Constructs a fresh trunk via new_random (for kernel bindings + scratch buffers) then overwrites every weight tensor via memcpy_htod. The random init values are thrown away — marginally wasteful, but keeps the construction code paths unified. Roundtrip test (--ignored, CUDA-required): save trunk_A → load → read back every device tensor and assert bit-equality between trunk_A and the loaded trunk_B. Passed locally. Dim-mismatch rejection test runs without CUDA (verifies bincode envelope serialise/deserialise). bin/fxt-backtest --checkpoint : when set, overrides --seed and loads from disk. When absent, warns loudly that the trunk is random-initialised and backtest results are noise. This makes the binary genuinely useful as a deployment tool — point it at a trained checkpoint and run real backtests. Adds bincode workspace dep to ml-alpha (was already in workspace dependencies, just not in ml-alpha's [dependencies] block). serde features bumped to ["derive"] (was using workspace default which omits derive macros).
