audit+fix(dqn): Task A.6 hot-path purity — 4 MIGRATE sites eliminated, 0 remaining
Enumerated every DtoH/HtoD/memcpy call in the DQN hot path (run_full_step → child graphs). Classified 55 call sites: 31 OK-pinned, 20 COLD-PATH, 4 MIGRATED. Fix 1 (gpu_dqn_trainer.rs): removed dead cuMemcpyDtoHAsync_v2 in run_causal_intervention_unconditional — result (causal_mean_scratch) was never consumed; now stays on device. Fix 2 (fused_training.rs + training_loop.rs): compute_iqr() was called inside submit_aux_ops (captured aux_child graph). Its sync cuMemcpyDtoH_v2 cannot be graph-captured — silently ran only during capture, then HtoD replayed stale IQR data on every step. Removed from submit_aux_ops; added refresh_iqn_iqr() called once per epoch in process_epoch_boundary. Fix 3 (gpu_iqn_head.rs): tau_buf (CudaSlice<f32>) + tau_host (f32) + cuMemcpyHtoDAsync_v2 each step replaced by tau_pinned (*mut f32) + tau_dev_ptr (u64) via cuMemAllocHost_v2(DEVICEMAP) + cuMemHostGetDevicePointer_v2. CPU writes *tau_pinned = tau; EMA kernel reads via tau_dev_ptr — zero PCIe overhead. Drop updated. Audit table populated in docs/dqn-gpu-hot-path-audit.md.

**Invariant 3 enforcement.** Every cross-boundary call (DtoH, HtoD, memcpy between host and device) in the DQN code path is classified below. No hot-path `memcpy` DtoH/HtoD is allowed — zero tolerance. Pinned + device-mapped memory is the ONLY permitted mechanism for per-step host-visible data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Hot path definition:** every function called from `fused_training.rs::step_fused` or its descendants that executes once per training step (178 times per epoch at batch size 8192), including kernel invocations inside the captured CUDA graph (`adam_grad_child`, `forward_child`, `aux_grad_child`) and host-side orchestration between them.

|

**Classification:**
|

- `OK-pinned` — uses the zero-copy pinned + device-mapped pattern (allowed).
|

- `MIGRATE` — uses `memcpy` but should be pinned. Fix during spec impl.
|

- `COLD-PATH` — acceptable placement (checkpoint save/load, fold transition, epoch-boundary validation), annotated with reason.

- `OK-pinned` — uses the zero-copy pinned + device-mapped pattern (`cuMemAllocHost_v2` + `cuMemHostGetDevicePointer_v2`); allowed on hot path.
|
||||
- `MIGRATE` — was a plain `memcpy` but has been converted to pinned in this commit.

## Fixes Applied (this commit)
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix 1 — Remove dead async DtoH in `run_causal_intervention_unconditional`
|
||||
`gpu_dqn_trainer.rs`: `cuMemcpyDtoHAsync_v2` from `causal_mean_scratch_ptr` to `readback_pinned[10]` was removed. The only reader (`run_causal_intervention`, which has no callers) was never invoked, making this copy dead code. The result now stays on the GPU device buffer where the kernel leaves it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix 2 — Relocate `compute_iqr()` from hot path to epoch boundary
|
||||
`fused_training.rs / training_loop.rs`: `iqn.compute_iqr()` was being called inside `submit_aux_ops`, which is captured in the CUDA graph (`aux_child`). The sync `cuMemcpyDtoH_v2` inside `compute_iqr` cannot be captured in a CUDA graph — it ran during capture only and was silently skipped on every replayed step. The subsequent `cuMemcpyHtoDAsync_v2` (uploading IQR back) was therefore replaying stale data. Moved to `refresh_iqn_iqr()` called at epoch boundary in `process_epoch_boundary`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Fix 3 — Convert `tau_buf` from device VRAM to pinned+device-mapped
|
||||
`gpu_iqn_head.rs`: `tau_buf: CudaSlice<f32>` + `tau_host: f32` + `cuMemcpyHtoDAsync_v2` replaced by `tau_pinned: *mut f32` + `tau_dev_ptr: u64` allocated via `cuMemAllocHost_v2(DEVICEMAP)` + `cuMemHostGetDevicePointer_v2`. CPU writes `*tau_pinned = tau` directly; the EMA kernel reads via `tau_dev_ptr` with no PCIe copy. Drop impl updated to free `tau_pinned`.
