feat(fxt,ml): add fxt train monitor command and update DQN tests for action collapse fix

Browse Source 
Add live training metrics monitor CLI command (streaming & one-shot) using
the monitoring gRPC service. Update DQN tests to match post-fix defaults:
IQN disabled, CQL alpha=0.1, v_min/v_max widened, 26D search space.

- train.rs: `fxt train monitor [--once] [--model X] [--interval N]`
- Rewrite gradient collapse test for BF16 mixed precision awareness
- Update inference test config to match trainer defaults (IQN off, CQL on)
- Update production smoke test for 26D parameter space
- Add dqn_action_collapse_fix_test.rs verifying all 6 root cause fixes
- Add planning docs for monitoring service and epoch financial metrics

# Epoch-Level Financial Metrics in fxt
**Date**: 2026-03-03
**Status**: Design
## Problem
Training produces per-epoch financial metrics (Sharpe, win rate, max DD) internally,
but none are exposed through the Prometheus → monitoring service → fxt pipeline.
The fxt watch TUI and `fxt train monitor` can only show loss, accuracy, and RL
diagnostics — not the trading-relevant metrics that matter.
## Scope
- Add ~11 new Prometheus gauges for epoch-level financial metrics
- Add epoch-level backtest evaluation for supervised models (TFT, Mamba2, etc.)
- Add epoch history ring buffer (last 50 epochs) in monitoring service
- Wire through proto → monitoring service → fxt state → fxt render
- Fix: action distribution already tracked but not exposed
## Architecture
```
Trainer (DQN/PPO/TFT/Mamba2/...)
│ Epoch end: run mini-backtest on validation window
│ set_epoch_financial_metrics("dqn", "fold_0", sharpe, sortino, ...)
│ set_action_distribution_pct("dqn", "fold_0", buy%, sell%, hold%)
v
Prometheus (foxhunt_training_epoch_{sharpe,sortino,win_rate,...})
v
Monitoring Service
│ scrapes + maps to proto fields
│ stores ring buffer: HashMap<session_key, VecDeque<EpochSnapshot>>
v
GetLiveTrainingMetrics: latest snapshot (existing streaming)
GetEpochHistory: full ring buffer for selected session (new RPC)
v
fxt watch TUI: detail view shows financial table + sparklines
fxt train monitor: new financial metrics section
```
## New Prometheus Gauges
All with `{model, fold}` labels, pushed at epoch end:
| Gauge | Description |
|---|---|
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_sharpe` | Sharpe ratio |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_sortino` | Sortino ratio |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_win_rate` | Win rate (0-1) |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_max_drawdown` | Max drawdown (0-1) |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_profit_factor` | Gross profit / gross loss |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_total_return` | Total return (fractional) |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_avg_return` | Avg return per trade |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_total_trades` | Trade count in eval |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_action_buy_pct` | BUY action % |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_action_sell_pct` | SELL action % |
| `foxhunt_training_epoch_action_hold_pct` | HOLD action % |
Convenience functions:
- `set_epoch_financial_metrics(model, fold, sharpe, sortino, win_rate, max_dd, profit_factor, total_return, avg_return, total_trades)`
- `set_action_distribution_pct(model, fold, buy_pct, sell_pct, hold_pct)`
## Proto Changes
### monitoring.proto — TrainingSession (new fields 36-46)
```protobuf
// Epoch-level financial metrics (from backtest evaluation)
float epoch_sharpe = 36;
float epoch_sortino = 37;
float epoch_win_rate = 38;
float epoch_max_drawdown = 39;
float epoch_profit_factor = 40;
float epoch_total_return = 41;
float epoch_avg_return = 42;
uint32 epoch_total_trades = 43;
// Action distribution (aggregated %)
float action_buy_pct = 44;
float action_sell_pct = 45;
float action_hold_pct = 46;
```
### monitoring.proto — New RPC + messages
```protobuf
rpc GetEpochHistory(GetEpochHistoryRequest)
returns (GetEpochHistoryResponse);
message GetEpochHistoryRequest {
string model = 1;
string fold = 2;
uint32 max_epochs = 3; // 0 = all available (up to 50)
}
message EpochFinancialSnapshot {
uint32 epoch = 1;
float sharpe = 2;
float sortino = 3;
float win_rate = 4;
float max_drawdown = 5;
float profit_factor = 6;
float total_return = 7;
float avg_return = 8;
uint32 total_trades = 9;
float loss = 10;
float val_loss = 11;
float learning_rate = 12;
float action_buy_pct = 13;
float action_sell_pct = 14;
float action_hold_pct = 15;
}
message GetEpochHistoryResponse {
string model = 1;
string fold = 2;
repeated EpochFinancialSnapshot epochs = 3;
}
```
## Supervised Model Evaluation
Supervised models (TFT, Mamba2, TGGN, TLOB, LNN, KAN, xLSTM, Diffusion) produce
price/return predictions, not discrete actions.
**Mini-backtest at epoch end:**
1. Run inference on validation window bars
2. Convert predictions to signals: prediction > threshold → BUY, < -threshold → SELL, else HOLD
3. Simulate trades using existing `EvaluationEngine` (ml/src/evaluation/)
4. Extract Sharpe, max DD, win rate, total return, trade count
5. Push to Prometheus gauges
This reuses `UnifiedTrainable::evaluate()` which already returns `EvaluationResult`
with financial metrics. The trainers just need to call it at epoch end and push metrics.
## Monitoring Service Changes
### Metric mapper (service.rs)
Add 11 new match arms:
```rust
"foxhunt_training_epoch_sharpe" => session.epoch_sharpe = s.value as f32,
"foxhunt_training_epoch_sortino" => session.epoch_sortino = s.value as f32,
// ... etc.
```
### Epoch history store
```rust
struct EpochHistoryStore {
histories: HashMap<String, VecDeque<EpochFinancialSnapshot>>,
}
```
- Key: `"{model}/{fold}"`
- Capacity: 50 epochs per session
- On each Prometheus scrape that has new `current_epoch`: snapshot all financial
fields into the ring buffer
- Served via `GetEpochHistory` RPC
## fxt Changes
### State (state.rs)
Add 11 fields to `TrainingSession`:
```rust
pub epoch_sharpe: f32,
pub epoch_sortino: f32,
pub epoch_win_rate: f32,
pub epoch_max_drawdown: f32,
pub epoch_profit_factor: f32,
pub epoch_total_return: f32,
pub epoch_avg_return: f32,
pub epoch_total_trades: u32,
pub action_buy_pct: f32,
pub action_sell_pct: f32,
pub action_hold_pct: f32,
```
Add to `SessionHistory`:
```rust
pub sharpe: Vec<f64>,
pub win_rate: Vec<f64>,
pub max_drawdown: Vec<f64>,
pub total_return: Vec<f64>,
```
### Render (render.rs)
**List view**: Add Sharpe + Win Rate columns to the session table.
**Detail view — Metrics sub-tab**: Full financial metrics table:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Sharpe Ratio | 2.31 (green/yellow/red) |
| Sortino Ratio | 3.12 |
| Win Rate | 55.2% |
| Max Drawdown | 8.1% |
| Profit Factor | 1.84 |
| Total Return | +12.4% |
| Avg Return/Trade | +0.3% |
| Total Trades | 142 |
**Detail view — Loss sub-tab**: Add Sharpe sparkline.
**Action distribution**: Bar chart in Metrics or RL sub-tab.
### fxt train monitor
Add `print_financial_metrics()` section after the session table:
```
Financial (dqn): Sharpe=2.31 WinRate=55.2% MaxDD=8.1% PF=1.84 Return=+12.4%
```
## Files Changed

# DQN Action Collapse Fix — Full Exploration Fix (Approach B)
**Date:** 2026-03-04
**Status:** Approved
**Triggered by:** GitLab job #8885 — DQN hyperopt on H100 showing action collapse
## Problem
DQN training collapses to 2/45 actions (4.4% diversity), entropy=0.120, Trades=0, Sharpe=0.00 across all epochs. Action A38 (Long100/Market/Aggressive) dominates. Q-values stuck at [-0.48, -0.47] — all 45 actions nearly identical.
## Root Causes
### RC1: IQN + C51 Train-Test Mismatch (CRITICAL)
Both `use_iqn: true` and `use_distributional: true` enabled by default. IQN loss trains base q_network; inference uses dist_dueling network which gets zero gradients.
### RC2: CQL + Tight v_min/v_max Squashes Q-Values (CRITICAL)
`use_cql: true` with `cql_alpha=1.0` adds ~ln(45)=3.8 to loss at every step, pushing all Q-values toward uniformity. `v_min=-2, v_max=2` constrains C51 distribution to a 4-unit range — insufficient to separate 45 actions.
### RC3: Hold Reward 20x Larger Than Trade PnL (CRITICAL)
`hold_reward=+0.001` per bar; trade PnL ~0.0001 minus tx costs ~0.00015 = net -0.00005. Hold penalty divided by 1000 (line 933), making it 0.00001 — negligible.
### RC4: GPU Path Never Populates pnl_history (HIGH)
When CUDA collects experiences, CPU loop is skipped entirely. `pnl_history` stays empty, so `compute_epoch_financials()` reports Trades=0, Sharpe=0.00 even if the agent is trading.
### Related Issues
- **R1:** Count bonus not used in `select_actions_batch()` — UCB exploration is dead code during training
- **R2:** Hyperopt PSO with 5 LHS samples across 25D space — only 1 PSO iteration with 20 trials
- **R3:** Hyperopt v_min/v_max search range [-3,-1] to [1,3] — too narrow for meaningful C51 separation
## Changes
### 1. Config Defaults (`crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs`)
| Line | Current | New | Rationale |
|------|---------|-----|-----------|
| 238 | `v_min: -2.0` | `v_min: -10.0` | Room for C51 to separate actions |
| 239 | `v_max: 2.0` | `v_max: 10.0` | Same |
| 249 | `entropy_coefficient: 0.01` | `entropy_coefficient: 0.05` | 5x stronger anti-collapse for 45 actions |
| 254-255 | `use_cql: true, cql_alpha: 1.0` | `cql_alpha: 0.1` | Reduce from full-strength to mild conservatism (0.38 vs 3.8 loss penalty). Can disable entirely if still collapsing. |
| 258-259 | `use_iqn: true` | `use_iqn: false` | Eliminate train-test mismatch with C51 |
### 2. Trainer CQL Hardcode (`crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs`)
| Line | Current | New |
|------|---------|-----|
| 443 | `use_cql: true` (hardcoded) | `use_cql: hyperparams.use_cql` (configurable, default true) |
| 444 | `cql_alpha: 1.0` (hardcoded) | `cql_alpha: hyperparams.cql_alpha` (configurable, default 0.1) |
Add `use_cql: bool` and `cql_alpha: f64` to `DQNHyperparameters` struct so it's tunable from CLI and hyperopt.
### 3. Reward Function (`crates/ml/src/dqn/reward.rs`)
| Change | Current | New |
|--------|---------|-----|
| `hold_reward` line 940 | `self.config.hold_reward` (+0.001) | Used as-is, but config changed to 0.0 |
| Hold penalty scale lines 933-935 | `hold_penalty_weight / 1000` | `hold_penalty_weight` directly (remove /1000) |
### 4. RewardConfig in Trainer (`crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs`)
| Line | Current | New |
|------|---------|-----|
| 492 | `hold_reward: 0.001` | `hold_reward: 0.0` |
### 5. GPU Financial Metrics (`crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs`)
After GPU experience collection (after line 1787), populate `pnl_history` from batch rewards for financial monitoring.
### 6. Count Bonus in Batch Selection (`crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs`)
In `select_actions_batch()`, apply count bonus to Q-values before argmax (same as `select_action()` does for single actions).
### 7. Hyperopt Adapter (`crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs`)
| Change | Current | New |
|--------|---------|-----|
| v_min bounds | `(-3.0, -1.0)` | `(-15.0, -3.0)` |
| v_max bounds | `(1.0, 3.0)` | `(3.0, 15.0)` |
| IQN default | not set (inherits true) | `use_iqn: false` explicitly |
| n_initial | Fixed 5 | `max(5, n_dims)` = 25 for DQN |
### 8. Hyperopt v_min/v_max test ranges update
Update `test_continuous_bounds` assertions to match new ranges.
## Files Modified (4)
1. `crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs` — DQNConfig defaults (5 values)
2. `crates/ml/src/dqn/reward.rs` — hold_penalty scale (remove /1000)
3. `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs` — CQL default, hold_reward, GPU pnl_history, count bonus in batch
4. `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` — v_min/v_max ranges, n_initial, IQN default, tests
## Validation
- All existing unit tests must pass (`SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib`)
- Updated tests for new default values
- Next hyperopt run should show: action diversity >20%, non-zero trades, Q-value spread >0.5
- GPU path should report meaningful financial metrics (Trades>0, Sharpe!=0)
## Risk
- Low: all changes are config defaults and reward scaling. No architectural changes.
- CQL alpha reduced to 0.1, now configurable via hyperparams — can tune or disable without code changes.
- IQN disabled by default but code preserved — can re-enable via config.
- Hold reward change may increase trading frequency; hyperopt will find the right balance.

# DQN Action Collapse Fix — Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Fix DQN action collapse (2/45 actions, Trades=0, Q-values stuck at [-0.48, -0.47]) by correcting broken defaults, reward bias, GPU metrics gap, and exploration deficiencies.
**Architecture:** 4 files modified. Config defaults fixed (CQL alpha 1.0→0.1 + configurable, IQN disabled, v_min/v_max widened). Reward hold bias eliminated. GPU pnl_history populated. Count bonus wired into batch selection. cql_alpha added to 26D hyperopt search space.
**Tech Stack:** Rust, Candle ML framework, CUDA experience collector
---
### Task 1: Fix DQNConfig Defaults
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs:238-259`
**Step 1: Edit the defaults**
Change lines 238-259 in `DQNConfig::default()`:
```rust
// FROM:
v_min: -2.0, // Bug #5: Corrected from -10.0
v_max: 2.0, // Bug #5: Corrected from 10.0
// ...
entropy_coefficient: 0.01,
// ...
use_cql: true,
cql_alpha: 1.0,
// ...
use_iqn: true,
// TO:
v_min: -10.0, // Widened: [-2,2] compressed Q-values, [-10,10] gives C51 room to separate 45 actions
v_max: 10.0,
// ...
entropy_coefficient: 0.05, // 5x stronger anti-collapse for 45-action space
// ...
use_cql: true,
cql_alpha: 0.1, // Reduced: 1.0 added ~ln(45)=3.8 loss penalty, crushing Q-value differentiation
// ...
use_iqn: false, // Disabled: IQN trains base q_network but inference uses dist_dueling (zero gradients)
```
**Step 2: Run tests to verify compilation**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --lib 2>&1 | head -20`
Expected: Compiles (may show warnings, no errors)
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs
git commit -m "fix(ml): correct DQNConfig defaults — widen v_min/v_max, reduce cql_alpha, disable IQN"
```
---
### Task 2: Add cql_alpha to DQNHyperparameters and Wire Through Trainer
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/config.rs:413+` (DQNHyperparameters struct)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:443-444` (hardcoded CQL config)
**Step 1: Add fields to DQNHyperparameters**
In `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/config.rs`, add two new fields to `DQNHyperparameters` after the existing fields (near the risk management section):
```rust
/// Enable Conservative Q-Learning (default: true, alpha controls strength)
pub use_cql: bool,
/// CQL regularization strength (default: 0.1, range 0.0-1.0)
/// 0.0 = disabled, 0.1 = mild conservatism, 1.0 = full offline-RL strength
pub cql_alpha: f64,
```
Find every place `DQNHyperparameters` is constructed with struct literals and add the new fields with defaults `use_cql: true, cql_alpha: 0.1`. Key locations:
- `DQNHyperparameters::default()` impl
- Any test fixtures creating DQNHyperparameters
**Step 2: Wire through trainer**
In `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:443-444`, change:
```rust
// FROM:
use_cql: true,
cql_alpha: 1.0,
// TO:
use_cql: hyperparams.use_cql,
cql_alpha: hyperparams.cql_alpha as f32,
```
**Step 3: Run tests**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --lib 2>&1 | head -20`
Expected: Compiles. Fix any struct literal missing-field errors by adding `use_cql: true, cql_alpha: 0.1`.
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/config.rs crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs
git commit -m "feat(ml): make CQL configurable via DQNHyperparameters (default alpha=0.1)"
```

### Task 3: Fix Hold Reward Bias
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/dqn/reward.rs:929-935` (hold_penalty /1000 divisor)
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:492` (hold_reward default)
**Step 1: Remove /1000 divisor from hold_penalty**
In `crates/ml/src/dqn/reward.rs:929-935`, change:
```rust
// FROM:
// BUG FIX: Scale hold_penalty_weight to percentage units
// Config value: 0.5-2.0 (raw scalar from hyperopt)
// Scaled value: 0.0005-0.002 (50-200 basis points = 0.05-0.2%)
// This makes hold penalty comparable to transaction costs (0.05-0.15%), not 30x weaker
let hold_penalty_scale = Decimal::try_from(1000.0)
.unwrap_or(Decimal::ONE);
let hold_penalty_pct = self.config.hold_penalty_weight / hold_penalty_scale;
// TO:
// Hold penalty weight used directly (0.01-2.0 range from hyperopt).
// Previously divided by 1000, making it 0.00001 — negligible vs tx costs (0.05-0.15%).
let hold_penalty_pct = self.config.hold_penalty_weight;
```
**Step 2: Zero hold_reward in trainer RewardConfig**
In `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:492`, change:
```rust
// FROM:
hold_reward: Decimal::try_from(0.001).unwrap_or(Decimal::ZERO),
// TO:
hold_reward: Decimal::ZERO, // Flat position = no edge = zero reward (was +0.001, 20x trade PnL)
```
**Step 3: Run tests**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib -- reward 2>&1 | tail -20`
Expected: PASS (reward tests should still pass since they test relative behavior, not absolute values)
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/dqn/reward.rs crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs
git commit -m "fix(ml): eliminate hold reward bias — zero hold_reward, remove /1000 penalty divisor"
```

### Task 4: Populate pnl_history from GPU Experience Collection
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:1762-1777` (after GPU batch Ok)
**Step 1: Add pnl_history population**
In `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs`, inside the `Ok(batch) =>` arm (after line 1770, before `let experiences = gpu_batch_to_experiences`), add:
```rust
// Populate pnl_history from GPU-collected rewards for financial metrics.
// Without this, compute_epoch_financials() sees an empty deque and
// reports Trades=0, Sharpe=0.00 even when the agent is trading.
for &reward in &batch.rewards {
self.pnl_history.push_back(reward as f64);
if self.pnl_history.len() > 1000 {
self.pnl_history.pop_front();
}
}
```
**Step 2: Verify compilation**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --lib 2>&1 | head -10`
Expected: Compiles
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs
git commit -m "fix(ml): populate pnl_history from GPU experience collector for financial metrics"
```

### Task 5: Wire Count Bonus into select_actions_batch
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs:3238-3254` (select_actions_batch)
**Step 1: Add count bonus to batch Q-values**
In `select_actions_batch()`, after the forward pass (line 3241) and before `drop(agent)` (line 3243), add count bonus application:
```rust
// Apply count bonus (UCB exploration) to Q-values before argmax.
// This was previously only applied in DQN::select_action() (single-sample path),
// meaning the batch training path had no UCB exploration — the count bonus was dead code.
let batch_q_values = if agent.config.use_count_bonus {
let bonuses = agent.get_count_bonuses(); // Vec<f32> of length num_actions
let bonus_tensor = Tensor::from_vec(bonuses, (1, agent.config.num_actions), batch_q_values.device())
.map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("Failed to create bonus tensor: {}", e))?
.to_dtype(batch_q_values.dtype())
.map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("Failed to cast bonus tensor: {}", e))?;
batch_q_values.broadcast_add(&bonus_tensor)
.map_err(|e| anyhow::anyhow!("Failed to add count bonus to Q-values: {}", e))?
} else {
batch_q_values
};
```
Note: You'll need to check if `get_count_bonuses()` exists on the DQN struct. If it only has `count_bonus.compute_bonuses(num_actions)`, expose a method:
```rust
// In crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs, add to DQN impl:
pub fn get_count_bonuses(&self) -> Vec<f32> {
self.count_bonus.compute_bonuses(self.config.num_actions)
}
```
**Step 2: Verify compilation**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --lib 2>&1 | head -10`
Expected: Compiles
**Step 3: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer.rs
git commit -m "feat(ml): wire count bonus (UCB) into batch action selection for exploration"
```

### Task 6: Add cql_alpha to Hyperopt Search Space (25D → 26D)
**Files:**
- Modify: `crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs` (multiple functions)
**Step 1: Expand continuous_bounds_for (25→26 params)**
In `continuous_bounds_for()` (~line 504), add after the last bound:
```rust
// CQL conservatism (1D)
(0.0, 0.5), // 25: cql_alpha (linear, 0.0=disabled, 0.1=mild, 0.5=moderate)
```
**Step 2: Update from_continuous (25→26 params)**
Change the length check from 25 to 26:
```rust
if x.len() != 26 {
return Err(MLError::ConfigError {
reason: format!("Expected 26 continuous parameters, got {}", x.len()),
});
}
```
Add parsing:
```rust
let cql_alpha = x[25].clamp(0.0, 0.5);
```
Add to the returned struct:
```rust
cql_alpha,
```
**Step 3: Update to_continuous (add emission)**
Add at end of the vec:
```rust
self.cql_alpha, // 25
```
**Step 4: Update param_names (add name)**
Add at end of the vec:
```rust
"cql_alpha", // 25
```
**Step 5: Update v_min/v_max search ranges**
Change bounds:
```rust
// FROM:
(-3.0, -1.0), // 11: v_min (linear) - Bug #5 fix: center -2.0
(1.0, 3.0), // 12: v_max (linear) - Bug #5 fix: center +2.0
// TO:
(-15.0, -3.0), // 11: v_min (linear) - widened for C51 action separation
(3.0, 15.0), // 12: v_max (linear) - widened for C51 action separation
```
**Step 6: Add cql_alpha field to DQNParams struct**
```rust
pub cql_alpha: f64,
```
**Step 7: Add cql_alpha to DQNParams::default()**
```rust
cql_alpha: 0.1,
```
**Step 8: Wire cql_alpha into DQNHyperparameters construction**
In the function that builds `DQNHyperparameters` from `DQNParams` (~line 2246+):
```rust
use_cql: true,
cql_alpha: params.cql_alpha,
```
**Step 9: Fix IQN default in hyperopt adapter**
In the adapter defaults (~line 647):
```rust
// FROM:
use_qr_dqn: true,
// TO:
use_qr_dqn: false, // IQN disabled: conflicts with C51 (train-test mismatch)
```
**Step 10: Run tests and fix assertions**
Run: `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --lib -- dqn 2>&1 | tail -40`
Fix the tests that assert on the old values:
- `test_continuous_bounds`: Update `assert_eq!(bounds.len(), 26)`, `bounds[11]` to `(-15.0, -3.0)`, `bounds[12]` to `(3.0, 15.0)`, add `bounds[25]` to `(0.0, 0.5)`
- `test_param_names`: Update `assert_eq!(names.len(), 26)`, add `names[25]` = `"cql_alpha"`
- `test_per_params_always_enabled` and similar: Add `0.1` (cql_alpha) to end of continuous vectors (now 26 elements)
- `test_validate_rejects_v_min_gte_v_max`: v_min/v_max test values may need adjustment
- `test_qr_dqn_params_in_default`: Now asserts `!params.use_qr_dqn`
**Step 11: Commit**
```bash
git add crates/ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs
git commit -m "feat(ml): add cql_alpha to 26D hyperopt search space, widen v_min/v_max ranges"
```

```
---
### Task 8: Final Validation Commit
**Step 1: Verify git status is clean**
Run: `git status`
**Step 2: Squash or keep commits as-is**
Keep individual commits for traceability. The final commit history should be:
1. `fix(ml): correct DQNConfig defaults`
2. `feat(ml): make CQL configurable via DQNHyperparameters`
3. `fix(ml): eliminate hold reward bias`
4. `fix(ml): populate pnl_history from GPU experience collector`
