From ab4a7db33c34a5d93b2dc72079f7faeda17ac4c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jgrusewski Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 14:50:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(sp20): c51_loss launcher aux_conf arg + Phase 5 gate tests MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Threads `self.aux_conf_at_state_buf` into the `c51_loss_batched` launch in `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_c51_loss`. Position matches the kernel's appended trailing arg from the previous commit. Tests added in `crates/ml-dqn/src/gpu_replay_buffer.rs::tests`: - `aux_gate_high_confidence_passes_full_target` (CPU pure-math): gate(aux_conf=0.5, threshold=0.10, temp=0.05) > 0.99 proves high-confidence reward pass-through. - `aux_gate_low_confidence_attenuates_reward` (CPU pure-math): gate(aux_conf=0.02, threshold=0.10, temp=0.05) < 0.20 proves the uncertain-state neutralizer semantic. - `aux_gate_temp_floor_keeps_gate_finite` (CPU pure-math): sweeps {temp, aux_conf, threshold} and asserts finite gate ∈ [0,1] across the ISV-controllable parameter range — proves the fmaxf(temp, 1e-3) floor keeps the kernel numerically safe. - `aux_conf_direct_to_trainer_gather_populates_destination` (GPU behavioral): wires a fresh CudaSlice as the trainer destination, inserts 8 transitions with strictly-positive distinct aux_conf values, samples 1, asserts the trainer destination buffer post-sample holds a value from the inserted set (NOT the alloc_zeros sentinel) — proves the direct-gather wiring actually populates the trainer buffer with non-trivial data. All 3 CPU math tests + 1 GPU integration test pass on RTX 3050.
