From a3b6bc2f3ba9d664e1de421b46142ab85c85be98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:33:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] phase3(env-unification): extract unified_env_step_core to trade_physics.cuh + port val MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Core of the Phase 3 unification: instead of writing a brand-new unified_env_kernel.cu (3-day rewrite per the design doc), extract the canonical step logic into a single __device__ __forceinline__ helper that BOTH kernels call. Drift between train/val becomes structurally impossible — any change to the helper applies to both atomically. unified_env_step_core (trade_physics.cuh) encapsulates: 1. Action decode (4-branch: dir, mag, order, urgency) 2. Hold action passthrough 3. Target position via compute_target_position_4branch 4. Margin cap (apply_margin_cap) 5. Kelly cap with health-coupled safety (apply_kelly_cap) 6. Trailing stop check (fixed 0.005/1.0/1.0 — regime-adaptive remains a deferred gem, see trade_physics.cuh comment block) 7. execute_trade with sqrt-impact (spread_scale = -1.0) 8. record_kelly_trade_outcome (Kelly stats update) 9. entry_price update (new entry / reversal / flat) 10. hold_time tick via update_hold_time 11. step_return = (new_value − prev_equity) / prev_equity (PURE P&L) 12. Post-enforcement actual_dir + actual_mag (for actions_history) Pass-by-pointer for all mutable state (position, cash, entry_price, hold_time, max_equity, Kelly stats). Outputs: step_return, new_value, prev_position_sign, actual_dir, actual_mag, trail_triggered. Ported backtest_env_step (single-step variant) to call the helper — replaced ~100 lines of inline step logic with a single call. Kept the capital-floor pre-check / post-check / actions_history stitching as per-kernel logic (output buffer formats differ between train and val, so these stay per-kernel). Files touched: crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/trade_physics.cuh (+172) crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/backtest_env_kernel.cu (-99 / +27 net) Follow-up in a separate commit: - Port backtest_env_step_batch (same refactor, batched variant) - Port experience_env_step to call unified_env_step_core (subset — training's body has many more layers: counterfactuals, plan_params, reward shaping bundle — all of which STAY in the caller; only the core step gets unified) Verified: cargo check passes. Smoke test in flight to confirm behavioral equivalence (should be bit-identical — same arithmetic in same order, just refactored into a helper).
