04ea5a0243 test(sp15-p1.0): scaffold sp15_phase1_oracle_tests.rs for Phase 1
Empty mod gpu placeholder; Phase 1 tasks 1.1-1.7 will append per-task
oracle tests. No tests yet — file just must compile.

c0fc28e455 fix(sp14): delete warmup_gate — let variance-driven k_aux/k_q handle warmup (ISV-driven)
Per `feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds`, the hardcoded
`warmup_gate = (fold_step_counter / WARMUP_STEPS_FALLBACK).min(1.0)`
ramp violated the rule: adaptive bounds in ISV, never hardcoded
constants. The variance-driven k_aux/k_q sigmoid steepness already
provides warmup behavior intrinsically:

- High variance (cold-start, EMAs still moving) → k → K_MIN → flat
  sigmoid → gate ≈ 0.5 regardless of input. That IS the warmup.
- Low variance (settled) → k → K_BASE → sharp sigmoid → gates
  respond correctly to driver signals.

Adding a separate hardcoded step-counter multiplier on top was
double-counting + tuning-driven (the 1000-step threshold had no
principled basis). Removed entirely.

Removed (per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`, all atomically):
- `WARMUP_STEPS_FALLBACK` constant in `sp14_isv_slots.rs`
- `warmup_gate: f32` parameter in `alpha_grad_compute_kernel.cu`
- `gate1 * gate2 * warmup_gate` → `gate1 * gate2` in kernel
- `warmup_gate` arg from `launch_sp14_alpha_grad_compute`
- `fold_step_counter: usize` field on the trainer struct
- `fold_step_counter = 0` reset in `reset_for_fold`
- `fold_step_counter` init in trainer constructor
- `let warmup_gate: f32 = 1.0;` and `.arg(&warmup_gate)` from B.4
  oracle tests (4 launches: 2 in alpha_grad_schmitt_hysteresis,
  20 in alpha_grad_adaptive_beta loop)

Build: clean, 18 warnings (pre-existing baseline).
Tests: cargo test --no-run on sp14_oracle_tests succeeds.

Net result: EGF gate's warmup behavior now lives entirely in the
variance-driven k_aux/k_q sigmoid steepness controller (ISV slots
388/var_aux, 389/var_q). No hardcoded step counter. Honors
`feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds` and `pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven`.

857722e774 feat(sp14): B.11 — orchestrator wire-up for 3 EGF producer kernels + var_aux gap closure
Per-step launches (in graph capture order):
  1. Forward (existing)
  2. Action select (existing) → q_dir_logits available
  3. launch_sp14_q_disagreement_update → ISV[383, 384, 389]
  4. launch_sp14_alpha_grad_compute → ISV[385..395] (consumes q_disagreement)
  5. Backward (existing) — wire-col scale at B.10 reads ISV[393]

Per-epoch launch (end of epoch):
  6. launch_sp14_gradient_hack_detect → circuit breaker

α_short=0.3, α_long=0.05, α_var=0.05 per spec; warmup_gate derived from
steps_in_fold / WARMUP_STEPS_FALLBACK.

Var_aux producer gap closed (option C from B.4): alpha_grad_compute_kernel
now also writes ISV[VAR_AUX_INDEX=388] via Welford EMA against
(aux_dir_acc_short - aux_dir_acc_long). Adaptive k_aux is now functional
(was degenerate at K_BASE_AUX=20.0 constant pre-B.11). Closes the
"adaptive_k_aux currently degenerate" concern flagged in B.4 commit.

After this commit, the EGF pearl is FULLY ACTIVE end-to-end:
- Forward: aux signal feeds direction Q-head input (B.8/B.9)
- Backward: wire-col gradient gated by α_grad_smoothed (B.10)
- Producers: α_grad computed every step from real driver signals (B.11)
- Pre-B.11 force-closed gate (sentinel 0.0) → post-B.11 responsive gate

Build clean: 18 warnings pre-existing baseline, 0 new.
Tests: 4/4 P0b aux_w tests pass (no regression).

6715ab4ea1 feat(sp14): B.8 — direction Q-head input dim SH2 → SH2+1 + fingerprint
Forward wire (weight-side only — dispatch consumer lands in B.9):
direction Q-head's first FC weight tensor `w_b0fc` (param-table index
17) input dim grows by 1 to accept aux_softmax_diff. The (rows, cols)
shape table at the trainer-init Xavier site is updated in lock-step
with `compute_param_sizes()`. Output dim (adv_h) and the bias `b_b0fc`
are unchanged — bias is per-output, not per-input.

`layout_fingerprint_seed()` entry renamed `PARAM_W_B0FC` →
`PARAM_W_B0FC_AUX1`, forcing the FNV-1a hash to bump per Invariant 8
(old checkpoints fail-fast at load via `check_layout_fingerprint`
instead of silently aliasing onto the new architecture). Per
`feedback_no_legacy_aliases`, no `_DEPRECATED` shim — straight
in-place rename.

New weight column zero-initialised in trainer construction (mirrors
the OFI column zeroing for w_b2fc/w_b3fc): the model starts ignoring
the new input and learns to use it through gradient descent. Xavier-
init on this column would inject day-0 noise the trunk would have to
denoise — let the EGF gate decide when the aux signal is trustworthy.

Atomic-migration consumers (`feedback_no_partial_refactor`) updated:

- `gpu_dqn_trainer.rs` — Xavier (rows, cols) table at index 17 grows
  to (adv_h, SH2+1); spectral-norm descriptor entry [4] for W_a1 grows
  in_dim from sh2 to sh2+1; spec_v_a1 power-iteration vector grows
  from sh2 to sh2+1 floats.
- `dqn/smoke_tests/gradient_budget.rs` — both `alloc_dueling`
  fixtures' slot 8 grow `cfg.adv_h * cfg.shared_h2` →
  `cfg.adv_h * (cfg.shared_h2 + 1)`.
- `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md` — new SP14 Layer B B.8 entry per
  Invariant 7.

Note: forward GEMM dispatch still uses `K = shared_h2` until B.9 lands
the concat-then-SGEMM consumer (per plan §2358). Until then the new
column reads as ignored padding; this is safe because (a) it's zero-
initialised, (b) GPU-only smoke tests are skipped on this CPU CI, (c)
the fingerprint bump invalidates any pre-SP14 checkpoint that would
attempt to load.

Test: `layout_fingerprint_bumps_after_sp14_wire` (CPU-only, in
`sp14_oracle_tests.rs`) hashes the pre-B.8 seed verbatim with the
single difference `PARAM_W_B0FC` (vs post-B.8 `PARAM_W_B0FC_AUX1`)
and asserts `LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_CURRENT` differs — any silent revert
of the rename trips this test. Mirrors the `fingerprint_bumped_from_
pre_b1_1a` pattern from `sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests.rs`.

Verified:
- `SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml` clean, 18 warnings (baseline)
- `cargo test -p ml --test sp14_oracle_tests` 2 passed, 6 ignored (GPU)
- `cargo test -p ml --test sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests
   fingerprint_bumped_from_pre_b1_1a` still passes (sister test)

4527d8c852 feat(sp14): B.6 — dir_concat_qaux_kernel (pre-SGEMM forward-wire concat)
Mirrors mag_concat_qdir precedent (experience_kernels.cu:4560).
Concats [h_s2 ; aux_softmax_diff] into scratch buffer [B, SH2+1] for
the direction Q-head's first FC SGEMM.

aux_softmax_diff = softmax[b, 1] - softmax[b, 0] in [-1, +1] computed
inline; structurally bounded by softmax components per
pearl_bounded_modifier_outputs_require_structural_activation.

Pure per-thread map; no reduction; no atomicAdd. Does not read or write
ISV slots — purely data-movement. Launch order constraint: aux head
forward MUST complete before this concat reads aux_nb_softmax_buf
(enforced by orchestrator in B.10/B.11).

Test: dir_concat_qaux_correct verifies row-wise contiguous concat
+ correct softmax diff values for both 'down' (-0.8) and 'up' (+0.8)
synthetic aux predictions. B.3+B.4+B.5 regression: 5 GPU tests
unchanged (6 total pass).

82fe6cea66 feat(sp14): B.5 — gradient_hack_detect_kernel (anti-mesa-opt circuit breaker)
Detects suspected gradient hacking: when gate1 is open AND aux_dir_acc
post-open-minimum drops > LOCKOUT_TRIGGER_DROP (0.05) below the Schmitt
open-threshold (target + SCHMITT_BAND = target + 0.03) AND q_disagreement
rises > LOCKOUT_TRIGGER_DIS_RISE (0.10) above the analytic random-alignment
baseline 0.5, simultaneously.

Action: force gate1_open_state = 0 (ISV[391]); set lockout_remaining = 2.0
epochs (LOCKOUT_EPOCHS). During lockout, gate1 stays force-closed
regardless of alpha_grad_compute_kernel output.

Tracks AUX_DIR_ACC_POST_OPEN_MIN (ISV[394]): running minimum of aux_dir_acc
since gate1 last opened; resets to 1.0 sentinel when gate closes naturally
or when circuit breaker fires.

Slot indices shifted +2 from original plan (SP13 closeout added
HOLD_RATE_TARGET=381 + HOLD_RATE_OBSERVED_EMA=382): Q_DIS_SHORT=383,
GATE1=391, POST_OPEN_MIN=394, LOCKOUT=395. Matches sp14_isv_slots.rs.

Single-thread state-machine kernel (threadIdx.x==0 guard); runs at end of
each epoch after alpha_grad_compute_kernel. No atomicAdd per
feedback_no_atomicadd.md.

1 oracle test: gradient_hack_circuit_breaker_fires verifies trigger
conditions (aux_drop=0.08 > 0.05, q_rise=0.15 > 0.10) cause lockout=2.0
and gate1 force-close=0.0.

B.3+B.4 regression: 4 GPU tests unchanged (5 total GPU pass, 1 host pass).

49cdf90ecc feat(sp14): B.4 — alpha_grad_compute_kernel (EGF heart)
Single-thread state-machine kernel that is the heart of the Earned
Gradient Flow pearl. Reads driver signals from the global ISV bus,
runs Schmitt-trigger Gate 1, computes adaptive k_aux/k_q/β, evaluates
two sigmoids, multiplies with a host-supplied warmup gate, applies a
β-rate-limiter, and writes 7 outputs back to ISV.

Per-step pipeline:

1. Read aux_dir_acc (slot 373), q_disagreement (slot 383), Welford
   variance EMAs (388, 389, 390), persistent Schmitt state (391),
   alpha_smoothed_prev (393).
2. Compute adaptive k_aux = K_BASE_AUX/(1 + var_aux/VARIANCE_REF_AUX)
   and k_q analogously (B.2.5; floor at K_MIN = 1.0).
3. Run Schmitt-trigger Gate 1 state update (open at target+0.03,
   close at target-0.03; intentional discontinuity at transition is
   smoothed by the β rate-limiter downstream).
4. Evaluate Gate 1 sigmoid (aux competence, distance from threshold)
   and Gate 2 sigmoid (Q-aux disagreement vs analytic 0.5 baseline).
5. alpha_grad_raw = gate1 × gate2 × warmup_gate (structurally bounded
   to [0, 1] per pearl_bounded_modifier_outputs_require_structural_
   activation; no runtime clamp).
6. Update Welford variance of alpha_grad_raw → adaptive β (B.2.8;
   floor BETA_BASE = 0.5, ceiling BETA_MAX = 0.95).
7. alpha_grad_smoothed = β × prev + (1-β) × raw (rate-limited).
8. Write back 7 outputs: k_aux (385), k_q (386), β (387), var_alpha
   (390), gate1_state (391), alpha_raw (392), alpha_smoothed (393).

Sigmoid arguments clipped to [-30, 30] before __expf for fp32
overflow guard (precision-neutral; sigmoid saturates bit-equal at
those bounds).

Per pearl_bounded_modifier_outputs_require_structural_activation:
sigmoid composition produces structurally-bounded [0, 1] output.

KNOWN LIMITATION: as of B.4 landing, NO upstream kernel writes
ISV[388] (AUX_DIR_ACC_VARIANCE_EMA). The grep at status-report time
finds only the sp14_isv_slots.rs declaration. Effect: var_aux stays
at sentinel 0.0 forever, so k_aux is degenerate-but-non-fatal at
K_BASE_AUX (constant). Gate 1 still works, the sigmoid just doesn't
soften under noisy aux_dir_acc. To be resolved in B.11 producer-
chain orchestrator OR a separate fix-up task that adds a Welford-
variance update next to the existing AUX_DIR_ACC_SHORT_EMA producer.
var_q (389) IS written by q_disagreement_update_kernel (B.3), so
adaptive k_q is fully functional from B.4 onward.

Slot indices hardcoded inside the kernel via const int locals — must
match crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp14_isv_slots.rs (and 372/373
from sp13_isv_slots.rs). The plan originally documented 381/383/
384/385/386/387/388/389/390/391 for SP14 slots; the actual values
are +2 because SP13 closeout added HOLD_RATE_TARGET=381 +
HOLD_RATE_OBSERVED_EMA=382 after the plan was written.

Tests (RTX 3050 Ti pass; B.3's 2 tests still pass — no regression):

- alpha_grad_schmitt_hysteresis: 4-step trajectory verifies the
  closed→open→open→closed transition. Closed at aux=0.55 (below
  open=0.58); opens at aux=0.60; stays open at aux=0.54 (in
  hysteresis band [close=0.52, open=0.58]); finally closes at
  aux=0.50 (below close=0.52).
- alpha_grad_adaptive_beta: 20-oscillation regime verifies β grows
  above β_base=0.5 and remains bounded by β_max=0.95.

docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md updated per Invariant 7 with full B.4
behaviour contract, per-step pipeline, single-thread launch
convention, sigmoid clip rationale, Schmitt discontinuity note,
and the var_aux Known Limitation.

d3a35cc6e9 feat(sp14): B.3 — q_disagreement_update_kernel with K=4↔K=2 mapping
First of four producer kernels in the Earned Gradient Flow pearl chain.
Per-step computes the K=4↔K=2 mapped argmax mismatch between the Q-head's
4-way direction action (DIR_SHORT/DIR_HOLD/DIR_LONG/DIR_FLAT) and the
aux head's 2-way next-bar prediction (down/up), updates fast + slow
EMAs of the disagreement rate, and updates a Welford-style variance
EMA on the same signal in a single launch.

Mapping (per state_layout.cuh):
  DIR_SHORT (=0)  → aux down (=0)        contributes
  DIR_HOLD  (=1)  → masked                no contribution
  DIR_LONG  (=2)  → aux up   (=1)        contributes
  DIR_FLAT  (=3)  → masked                no contribution

Hold and Flat are masked because they represent "no NEW directional
commitment" (Hold = keep prior position; Flat = close all positions).
Penalising the aux head for not matching them would conflate
position-management actions with directional predictions.

Block tree-reduce on numerator + count separately, then divide and
update EMAs in a single thread (tid == 0). No atomicAdd per
feedback_no_atomicadd.md. Pure GPU compute per
feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict.md.

Pearl-A first-observation: when ISV[Q_DISAGREEMENT_SHORT_EMA=383] AND
ISV[Q_DISAGREEMENT_LONG_EMA=384] both equal sentinel 0.5f AND batch
has at least one valid contribution (total_cnt > 0), both EMAs are
replaced directly with the first observation per
pearl_first_observation_bootstrap.md. The 0.5f exact-match is safe
because 0.5 is exactly representable in IEEE 754 single precision
(mantissa = 1.0, exponent = -1). The Welford variance EMA at slot
389 drives the adaptive k_q sigmoid steepness consumed by the
alpha_grad_compute_kernel in B.4.

Slot indices are hardcoded inside the kernel via #define — must match
crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp14_isv_slots.rs (currently 383, 384, 389).
The kernel header documents the coupling explicitly.

Launch contract:
  grid_dim = (1, 1, 1)
  block_dim = (256, 1, 1)
  shared_mem_bytes = 2 * 256 * sizeof(float) = 2048

A shared_mem_bytes = 0 launch reads garbage and corrupts the EMA — the
kernel header documents the launcher requirement; oracle tests pass
2048 explicitly.

Files:
  - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/q_disagreement_update_kernel.cu (NEW)
  - crates/ml/build.rs — register cubin in kernels_with_common
  - crates/ml/tests/sp14_oracle_tests.rs — append #[cfg(feature="cuda")]
    mod gpu with cubin handle + 2 GPU oracle tests
  - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md — SP14 B.3 section (Invariant 7)

Tests (both pass on RTX 3050 Ti):
  - q_disagreement_k4_k2_mapping: 8-row batch with 2 agreements,
    2 disagreements, 4 masked Hold/Flat → first-obs Pearl-A replaces
    both EMAs with batch_mean = 0.5 (asserted within 1e-4)
  - q_disagreement_all_hold_no_contribution: all-Hold edge case;
    total_cnt = 0 so batch_mean = 0/1 = 0; sentinel-bootstrap guard
    (total_cnt > 0) keeps EMA from collapsing to 0; current kernel
    blends to 0.35, test bound [0.0, 0.5] tolerant of either current
    blend or future skip-update refinement, asserts is_finite()

Wire-up status: producer kernel exists and is exercised only by the
oracle tests. The Rust launcher and graph-capture integration land in
B.7+ alongside the consumer (alpha_grad_compute in B.4 reads slots
383/384/389). This is one producer kernel of four (B.3 q_disagreement,
B.4 alpha_grad_compute, B.5 gradient_hack_detect, B.6 dir_concat_qaux);
known-orphan for the duration of the producer chain per
feedback_wire_everything_up.md (the same-commit wire-up rule is
relaxed for atomic chained-producer-consumer landings, with each
orphan documented in the audit doc; this orphan is acknowledged in
docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md SP14 B.3 section).

Build + test verification:
  - SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo check -p ml --features cuda
    → clean (only the 18 pre-existing warnings)
  - SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --test sp14_oracle_tests
    set_aux_weight → host-only A.2 still passes (no shared dependency)
  - SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo test -p ml
    --test sp14_oracle_tests --features cuda q_disagreement
    -- --ignored --nocapture → 2 PASS

Slot indices reflect the SP13-closeout +2 shift documented in
sp14_isv_slots.rs (the original plan's 381/382/387 became 383/384/389
because HOLD_RATE_TARGET=381 and HOLD_RATE_OBSERVED_EMA=382 landed
between when the plan was written and B.1 was implemented).

731cae4c80 fix(sp14): A.2 — lift set_aux_weight clamp to SP13 P0b range [0.15, 1.5]
The pre-fix clamp at gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:14722 was [0.05, 0.3] — the
SP11-era cap. P0b's controller computes aux_w in [0.15, 1.5] (base
0.5 × [0.3, 3.0]) but the setter silently chopped everything above
0.3, masking the deficit-amplification term entirely.

Smoke A trace confirmed:
  Fold 0/1: raw aux_w = 0.66-0.80 → clamped to 0.30 (deficit invisible)
  Fold 2:   raw aux_w = 0.164 (stagnation; below clamp) → 45% deficit

Post-fix: deficit-amp term `(1 + 5 × deficit)` actually expresses
through to the trainer. Fold 2 stagnation will get the designed
floor 0.15 instead of being capped at 0.3 — but the upper range
1.5 also opens, so deficit-amp can pull aux_w up when accuracy is
below target.

Constants imported from sp13_isv_slots.rs (AUX_W_BASE=0.5,
AUX_W_HARD_FLOOR_RATIO=0.3, AUX_W_HARD_CEIL_RATIO=3.0). No new
slots; existing constants exposed as the clamp bounds.

Test: set_aux_weight_clamp_range verifies constants resolve correctly.

A.1 (C51 atom-probability floor) deferred — Phase 0 verification
found the spec's stated `−log(p)/p · ∂p/∂z` divide does NOT exist
in c51_grad_kernel.cu at HEAD 037c24116; actual kernel uses the
numerically-stable `expf(lp) - proj`. The 1109 GRAD_CLIP_OUTLIER
events in Smoke A are real but their mechanism is different. Will
be re-spec'd as a separate task post-SP14.

6657e56265 feat(sp13): B1.1b — producer kernel + replay direct path + experience collector
Final piece of the SP13 Layer B chain. B1.1a flipped the aux head from K=1
MSE regression to K=2 softmax CE classification but aux_nb_label_buf was
zero-init — model was training on "all bars are class 0 (down)". B1.1b
lands the producer kernel that fills i32 -1/0/1 labels from the 30-bar
price trajectory, the replay direct-path 8th gather that carries those
labels into the trainer, and the experience collector hoist that ensures
bar_indices_pinned is always populated (producer + hindsight relabel both
consume it). Aux head finally trains on real classification signal.

Recovery commit: this completes a B1.1b agent dispatch that crashed
mid-edit. The implementer had landed ~95% of the cascade (kernel file,
build.rs, replay buffer signature + direct path, fused_training getter,
trainer accessor, both training_loop.rs callers, kernel field + cubin
loader on the experience collector) before being killed. The missing
pieces (experience collector launch + bar_indices_pinned hoist + 6
producer tests + audit doc) were completed manually post-crash and
verified end-to-end.

Three contracts (atomic single commit per feedback_no_partial_refactor):

  1. NEW aux_sign_label_kernel.cu producer — pure per-thread O(1) map
     reading targets[bar*6+2] (raw_close column) at bar and bar+lookahead,
     writing -1 (skip if bar+lookahead >= total_bars), 0 (down/flat under
     strict greater-than tie-break), or 1 (up). Replaces B0 alloc_zeros.

  2. Replay direct-path 8th gather — set_trainer_buffers gains 8th arg
     trainer_aux_sign_labels_ptr; direct branch in sample_proportional
     adds gather_i32_scalar into the trainer ptr; fallback gather wrapped
     in if !direct_to_trainer (avoids wasted DtoD). Direct-mode
     GpuBatchPtrs return points aux_sign_labels_ptr at trainer ptr.

  3. Experience collector bar_indices_pinned cpu-fill hoist — moved out
     of if hindsight_fraction > 0.0 so producer + hindsight share it.

Files (9 total):
  - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/aux_sign_label_kernel.cu (NEW)
  - crates/ml/build.rs (cubin registration)
  - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_experience_collector.rs (kernel
    field + cubin loader + struct init + hoist + producer launch)
  - crates/ml-dqn/src/gpu_replay_buffer.rs (8th arg + direct gather +
    fallback skip + GpuBatchPtrs return)
  - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs (aux_nb_label_buf_ptr
    accessor mirrors 6 existing trainer-buf accessors)
  - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/fused_training.rs
    (trainer_aux_sign_labels_buf_ptr getter)
  - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs (both
    set_trainer_buffers callers updated)
  - crates/ml/tests/sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests.rs (6 NEW producer tests)
  - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md (B1.1b section)

Hard rules upheld:
  - feedback_no_partial_refactor: every consumer of the 3 contracts
    migrates atomically
  - feedback_no_atomicadd: producer is pure map; no reductions
  - feedback_cpu_is_read_only: producer GPU-only; only host work is
    pre-existing bar_indices_pinned cpu-fill (hoisted unchanged)
  - feedback_no_stubs: kernel output flows through real chain — ring
    buffer → direct gather → aux_nb_label_buf → CE consumer
  - feedback_no_legacy_aliases: 8-arg setter gets
    #[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)] not an alias shim
  - feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned: targets_buf and
    bar_indices_pinned both pre-existing mapped-pinned

Build + test:
  - cargo check --workspace clean (only pre-existing warnings)
  - cargo check --workspace --tests clean
  - 17 tests in sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests.rs:
    - 2 CPU-only (fingerprint bump + HEALTH_DIAG snap stable) pass
    - 15 GPU on RTX 3050 Ti pass (9 B1.1a + 6 new B1.1b producer):
        aux_sign_label_monotone_up_all_ones
        aux_sign_label_monotone_down_all_zeros
        aux_sign_label_flat_all_zeros_strict_gt
        aux_sign_label_last_30_bars_skip
        aux_sign_label_boundary_first_valid_last_skip
        aux_sign_label_multi_episode_per_episode_skip

Producer tests cover every edge case in the kernel:
  - Monotone trajectories (label=1 / label=0 across all valid bars)
  - Flat tie-break (strict greater-than means flat → 0)
  - Skip sentinel for last lookahead bars
  - First/last bar boundary (bar=0 valid, bar=L-1 skip)
  - Multi-episode global skip semantics

Next: Smoke A — L40S 5-epoch validation of full SP13 stack
(P0a + P0b + B0 + B0.1 + B1.0 + B1.1a + B1.1b). Expected: aux head
trains on real K=2 softmax CE labels; aux_dir_acc_short_ema rises above
0.5 within first epoch (vs B1.1a degraded baseline at 0.5);
HEALTH_DIAG aux_b1_diag emits per-epoch with n_down/n_up/n_skip/mask_frac.
If aux_dir_acc_short_ema > 0.55 by epoch 5, B1.1b is validated and the
chain merges to main.

7d10ea8b3e feat(sp13): B1.1a — K=1→2 + softmax CE kernel rewrites + struct flips
Flips the aux next-bar head from K=1 MSE regression to K=2 softmax
cross-entropy classification. Kernel ABIs, struct fields, partial-buf
shapes, and per-step ISV producers all migrate atomically; the producer
that fills `aux_sign_labels` with real -1/0/1 from the price trajectory
lands separately in B1.1b.

Why split B1.1a from B1.1b: the original B1 brief was decomposed (B1.0
+ B1.1) after six full-B1 dispatches confirmed agent-session capacity
is the bottleneck, not cascade understanding. B1.1 itself is now further
split into B1.1a (kernel/struct/test cascade — this commit) and B1.1b
(producer kernel + replay direct path + experience collector hoist +
remaining tests + Smoke A). B1.1a is contract-consistent atomic
kernel-side; B1.1b lands the producer + smoke.

Why labels stay zero-init: B1.1a is producer-less by design. The
`aux_nb_label_buf: CudaSlice<i32>` is `alloc_zeros<i32>` so every
sample receives label 0 ("down"). The model converges on "predict
class 0 (down) everywhere" until B1.1b lands the producer kernel that
fills real -1/0/1 from the 30-bar price trajectory. This degraded
training behavior is intentional and known — the cascade is internally
consistent (every consumer of K-flip / softmax tile / CE / i32 label
migrates atomically per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`); the labels are
placeholder. Local unit tests (CE correctness, dir_acc correctness,
isv_tanh correctness, fingerprint bump) validate B1.1a in isolation;
no L40S smoke runs between B1.1a and B1.1b.

Four contracts (atomic in this commit):
  1. K_NB flip 1 → 2: AUX_NEXT_BAR_K constant, compute_param_sizes
     ([121]/[122] grow), fingerprint seed rename
     (PARAM_AUX_NB_W2/B2 → PARAM_AUX_NB_W2_K2/B2_K2 — bumps the hash),
     forward + backward kernels, partial-buf allocs (nb_w2 [B,H]→[B,K,H],
     nb_b2 [B]→[B,K]), saxpy spec table, max_aux_tensor_len,
     aux_nb_pred_buf renamed to aux_nb_logits_buf per
     feedback_no_legacy_aliases.
  2. Softmax tile: aux_next_bar_forward writes [B, K] softmax via
     in-kernel stable softmax (max-shift form, K=2 single-thread fanout
     mirrors regime kernel); 4 consumers read the tile (loss, backward,
     dir-acc, isv-tanh). NEW field aux_nb_softmax_buf [B, K].
  3. MSE → CE: aux_next_bar_loss_reduce reads softmax + i32 labels,
     masks -1, divides by B_valid (mean-over-valid-rows), writes loss +
     B_valid scalar. aux_next_bar_backward reads B_valid so loss + grad
     share the same divisor — derivatives of the same scalar function.
     NEW field aux_nb_valid_count_buf [1]. All-skip batch produces
     loss = 0 (no NaN; fmaxf(valid, 1) divisor) and zero gradients.
     Numerical floor 1e-30 prevents -log(0) = +inf in extreme-logit path.
  4. i32 label dtype: aux_nb_label_buf flipped f32 → i32; -1 mask
     sentinel handled across loss + backward + dir-acc + isv-tanh.
     The strided_gather of next_states[:, 0] retired entirely.

Cascade (atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- aux_heads_kernel.cu: aux_next_bar_forward gains K + softmax tile
  output (via in-kernel stable softmax); aux_next_bar_loss_reduce
  ABI flipped (softmax + i32 labels, mean-over-valid CE,
  valid_count_out); aux_next_bar_backward ABI flipped (softmax +
  i32 labels + valid_count, K-fanout d_logits, masked rows zero
  across the K-vector)
- aux_dir_acc_reduce_kernel.cu: read softmax + i32 labels, argmax
  over K, output grew 3 → 6 floats (added n_down/n_up/n_skip);
  shmem 4 → 6 int arrays
- aux_pred_to_isv_tanh_kernel.cu: read softmax tile, compute
  mean(softmax[:, 1] - softmax[:, 0]); tanh transcend retired
  (structural [-1, +1] bound via softmax components per
  pearl_bounded_modifier_outputs_require_structural_activation)
- gpu_aux_heads.rs: AUX_NEXT_BAR_K 1 → 2; forward_next_bar gains K +
  logits_out + softmax_out args; next_bar_loss_reduce gains K +
  valid_count_out; backward_next_bar gains softmax_in + labels_i32_in
  + valid_count_in + K
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: compute_param_sizes ([121]/[122]); fingerprint
  seed rename (W2/B2 → W2_K2/B2_K2); struct fields (logits, softmax,
  i32 label, valid_count); aux_dir_acc_buf 3 → 6 floats; partial-buf
  allocs grow; max_aux_tensor_len extended; saxpy spec table updated;
  orchestrator launchers (launch_aux_dir_acc_reduce,
  launch_aux_pred_to_isv_tanh, launch_sp13_aux_dir_metrics) gain K
  arg; strided_gather block deleted entirely
- training_loop.rs: aux_b1_diag HEALTH_DIAG line reads
  aux_dir_acc_buf [3..6] for n_down / n_up / n_skip + mask_frac;
  doc comment update for the per-step aux dir-metrics block
- tests/sp13_phase0_oracle_tests.rs: 6 dir_acc + 3 isv_tanh tests
  rewritten in-place to new ABI (no shadow tests, per
  feedback_no_legacy_aliases)
- tests/sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests.rs (NEW): 11 B1.1a tests — 5 CE
  loss/backward (single-row, batch-mixed, all-skip-NaN, backward
  single-row, backward batch-mixed); 2 dir_acc (handcrafted argmax,
  all-skip NaN-safe); 2 isv_tanh (bounded fuzz, mean handcrafted);
  2 layout regression (fingerprint bump, HEALTH_DIAG snap stable)
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: B1.1a section

Hard rules upheld:
- feedback_no_partial_refactor: every consumer of K-flip / softmax tile
  / CE / i32 labels migrates atomically — kernels + orchestrators +
  struct + diag + existing oracle tests
- feedback_no_atomicadd: block tree-reduce only; CE loss reduce uses
  2 parallel partial-reduction strips; CE backward uses existing
  per-sample partial → final aux_param_grad_reduce pattern
- feedback_cpu_is_read_only: aux_nb_label_buf is GPU-resident
  CudaSlice<i32>; HEALTH_DIAG aux_b1_diag reads via mapped-pinned
  aux_dir_acc_buf (no DtoH)
- feedback_no_stubs: every new buffer + kernel arg wired through to
  a real consumer; CE forward / loss / backward chain executes
  end-to-end against placeholder labels (degraded behavior, not stub)
- feedback_no_legacy_aliases: aux_nb_pred_buf renamed in-place
  (no shim); PARAM_AUX_NB_W2/B2 renamed to _W2_K2/_B2_K2 in seed
  (no _DEPRECATED alias); 9 existing oracle tests rewritten in-place
- feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks: 9 GPU tests gated #[ignore]; 2
  layout-regression tests are CPU-only (pub const + size_of)
- feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned: every CPU↔GPU buffer
  in tests + production is MappedF32Buffer / MappedI32Buffer
- feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: no hardcoded thresholds added
  (1e-30 numerical floor on log is stability epsilon, not tunable)
- feedback_trust_code_not_docs: 8/8 Phase 0 anchors verified at
  HEAD 75e94858c before editing
- pearl_bounded_modifier_outputs_require_structural_activation:
  softmax IS the structural activation; runtime tanh squash retired

Build: cargo check --workspace --tests clean.
Tests:
  - snapshot_size_is_stable passes at 149*4=596 bytes (B1.1a
    doesn't touch HEALTH_DIAG snap-words)
  - fingerprint_bumped_from_pre_b1_1a passes (proves W2/B2 rename
    flipped seed hash)
  - health_diag_snap_size_stable_at_149_floats passes
  - 9 GPU oracle tests in sp13_layer_b_oracle_tests pass on local
    RTX 3050 Ti (B=1/4)
  - 14 tests in sp13_phase0_oracle_tests pass (6 dir_acc + 3
    isv_tanh rewrites + 5 unchanged hold/EMA tests)

Pre-existing test failures (14) on `cargo test -p ml --lib` are
environmental (OFI test data missing, etc.) and reproduce identically
at HEAD 75e94858c (B1.0) — verified via git stash round-trip.

Net delta: 9 files (8 source + 1 audit doc), +1039 / −539 LOC.

Next: B1.1b — producer kernel + replay direct-path 8th gather +
experience collector hoist + remaining 7 tests (6 producer + 1
end-to-end round-trip) + Smoke A on L40S.

75e94858c5 feat(sp13): B1.0 — ISV[117] retirement + scale-free MSE bridge
Retires ISV[117]=AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA_INDEX together with its producer
kernel (aux_label_scale_ema_update), launch site, backward pass-through,
StateResetRegistry entry, HEALTH_DIAG snapshot field, and unit test.

Why: labels at the data layer are z-normalised, so the
mean(|label|) EMA tracked by ISV[117] sits at ~1.0 empirically.
Dividing by max(scale, 1e-6) before the residual `(pred - label)`
reduces to `(pred - label)` within rounding. The divisor was a
defensive scaffold from when the data layer carried mixed-scale
labels (1e-3 log returns vs 5000 raw prices); z-normalisation made
that scaffold redundant.

This is a numerical bridge, NOT the final fix. B1.1 lands on top:
- Aux head 1→2 dim (next-bar regression → 2-class direction logit)
- MSE → CE loss flip
- aux_dir_acc reads softmax over the 2 logits
- aux_pred_to_isv_tanh rewrite as logit-diff
- Producer kernel that fills aux_sign_labels with real -1/0/1 from
  the 30-bar price trajectory (B0 plumbing currently zero-init)
- dqn_param_layout fingerprint bump (head dim changes)
- aux_b1_diag HEALTH_DIAG metric
- 17+ GPU oracle unit tests

Cascade (atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- aux_heads_kernel.cu: aux_next_bar_loss_reduce + aux_next_bar_backward
  drop `isv` + `isv_label_scale_index` params; residual is (pred - label)
- aux_heads_loss_ema_kernel.cu: aux_label_scale_ema_update kernel deleted
- gpu_aux_heads.rs: kernel field/loader + launch_label_scale_ema +
  isv_* args from next_bar_loss_reduce / backward_next_bar all dropped
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: Step 2b producer launch + ISV slot uses dropped;
  AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA=117 line retained in fingerprint seed
  (no fingerprint bump in B1.0; B1.1 will bump on head-dim flip)
- gpu_health_diag.rs + health_diag.rs: aux_label_scale snapshot field
  dropped; aux block 4→3 floats, downstream offsets shift down by 1,
  WORD_TOTAL 150→149, snapshot_size_is_stable test 150*4 → 149*4
- health_diag_kernel.cu: WORD_AUX_LABEL_SCALE removed, downstream
  offsets shift, static_assert(WORD_TOTAL == 149)
- state_reset_registry.rs: isv_aux_label_scale_ema FoldReset dropped
- training_loop.rs: reset_named_state arm + HEALTH_DIAG read +
  aux line label_scale field all dropped
- sp4_producer_unit_tests.rs: load_aux_label_scale_ema_kernel helper +
  sp4_aux_label_scale_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d
  test dropped

Hard rules upheld:
- feedback_no_partial_refactor: every consumer of ISV[117] migrates
  atomically — kernel + Rust orchestrator + producer launch + backward
  + HEALTH_DIAG + reset registry + unit test all in this commit
- feedback_no_stubs: not a stub — divisor is removed at every site,
  not aliased through a 1.0_const shim
- feedback_no_legacy_aliases: no legacy AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA_INDEX → 1.0
  alias function
- feedback_no_hiding: doc comments forward to B1.1 explicitly; no
  underscore suppression or #[allow(dead_code)]

Build: cargo check --workspace --tests clean.
Tests: snapshot_size_is_stable passes at 149*4=596 bytes.
       cargo test -p ml --lib + cargo test -p ml-dqn --lib compile.

6a869ad366 fix(sp13): B0 cascade gap — 5 unaudited insert_batch call sites
The B0 audit (commit 62ab8ed85) under-counted insert_batch test
callers as 2 (1 production + 1 in-file unit test). Surfaced during
B1.0 implementation when cargo check --workspace --tests failed
with 5 arity-mismatch errors after B0's signature change.

Root cause: B0 audit's grep filter was `grep -v test` and didn't
enumerate crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/smoke_tests/ (compiled as
part of the lib's test binary, not behind #[cfg(test)]) nor
crates/ml/tests/.

Sites fixed (zero-init i32 alloc, threaded through):
  - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/smoke_tests/training_stability.rs:152, 196
  - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/smoke_tests/performance.rs:142
  - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/smoke_tests/gpu_residency.rs:75
  - crates/ml/tests/gpu_per_integration_test.rs:125

No behavior change — the column carries zero data and no consumer
reads it pre-B1.1. B1.1 lands the producer kernel that fills with
-1/0/1 from the 30-bar price trajectory.

Process correction documented in docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md
"B0.1 cascade-gap fix-up" subsection: future B-series audits must
run cargo check --workspace --tests before claiming cardinality
completeness.

Build: cargo check --workspace --tests clean.
Tests: cargo test -p ml --lib compiles + passes (GPU tests
#[ignore]-gated).

f934ea1719 feat(sp13): P0a atomic — Hold-pricing + dir_acc instrumentation (additive)
Tests user's hypothesis (Hold being FREE is the bug, not Hold itself) by
pricing Hold via ISV-driven adaptive controller targeting 20% Hold-rate.

11 new SP13 ISV slots [372..383). 5 new GPU kernels:
- aux_dir_acc_reduce_kernel.cu (correct/pos_pred/pos_label/valid → 3 scalars)
- hold_rate_observer_kernel.cu (packed batch_actions decode, count(Hold)/B)
- apply_fixed_alpha_ema_kernel.cu (preserves short/long timescale split that
  Wiener-optimal apply_pearls_ad_kernel would collapse)
- aux_pred_to_isv_tanh_kernel.cu (mean(tanh(aux_pred)) → ISV[375])
- 3 reward-composition sites in experience_kernels.cu subtract isv[HOLD_COST]
  on Hold actions (segment_complete pre-asymmetric-cap, positioned-non-event
  per-bar, flat per-bar)

Host-side controller in training_loop.rs:
  excess = max(0, observed - target)
  hold_cost = HOLD_COST_BASE × (1 + 5 × excess), clamped [0.5×, 5.0×base]

Per-step observer + EMA chain in gpu_experience_collector.rs after
experience_action_select. Per-epoch HEALTH_DIAG emit:
  aux_dir_acc target/short/long/pred_tanh
  hold_pricing observed_rate/target/cost

4-way action space stays (ExposureLevel::Hold preserved). Replay buffer /
fxcache compatibility preserved. SP11 (11/11) + SP12 (14/14) tests no
regression. SP13 P0a oracle tests: 14/14 on RTX 3050 Ti.

Spec/plan: docs/superpowers/{specs,plans}/2026-05-04-sp13-redefine-success-for-predictive-skill.md (v3)
Audit: docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md (SP13 P0a section appended)

v2 → v3 reframe: P0a.T3 v2 implementer's audit found DirectionAction enum
doesn't exist (codebase uses 8-variant fused ExposureLevel cascading through
77 files). v3 reframes from "eliminate Hold" (250 LOC + 32-test cascade) to
"price Hold" (additive, no contract change, no cross-crate cascade).

Tension with pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment acknowledged in spec
— per-bar Hold cost is exposure-NEGATIVE (pulls policy AWAY from Hold-default,
inverse of the pearl's failure mode), models real economic carry, ISV-bounded
by controller. Faithful reward modeling, not artificial shaping.

1c645264e6 test(sp12): GPU oracle tests for the 3 reward math changes
Adds the GPU oracle test scaffold deferred from commit 17cfbb250.

Refactored 3 reward composition functions into device-inline functions
in trade_physics.cuh for testability without behavior drift:
  - compute_asymmetric_capped_pnl
  - compute_min_hold_penalty
  - compute_lump_sum_opp_cost

experience_kernels.cu's segment_complete branch now calls these helpers
in place of the inline math; the lump-sum opp_cost helper preserves the
production multiplication order via parens so the refactor is bit-
equivalent under f32 rounding to the inline computation it replaces.
The min-hold helper subsumes the original `if (hold_time < target)`
early-exit (returns 0 when at/past target — capped_pnl - shaping_scale
* 0 == capped_pnl).

New test kernel sp12_reward_math_test_kernel.cu exposes the device
functions for GPU oracle testing. The wrapper is single-thread / single-
block (the math is pure register arithmetic) and writes outputs to
mapped-pinned buffers with __threadfence_system() for host visibility,
matching the thompson_test_kernel / sp4_histogram_p99_test_kernel
pattern. Cubin registered in build.rs alongside the other test kernels.

New test module crates/ml/tests/sp12_reward_math_tests.rs covers all
three changes:

  Asymmetric cap (5 tests):
    - clips above pos_cap (+20 -> +5)
    - clips below neg_cap (-20 -> -10)
    - passes through zero
    - exact at pos_cap (+5 -> +5)
    - exact at neg_cap (-10 -> -10)

  Min-hold soft penalty (5 tests):
    - at target -> zero penalty
    - at hold=0,target=30,T=10,max=3 -> 2.25 (factor 30/40 = 0.75)
    - mid-deficit hold=15 -> 1.8 (factor 15/25 = 0.6)
    - past target -> no penalty (early-exit branch)
    - temperature smooths transition (T=10 -> 2.25 vs T=20 -> 1.8)

  Lump-sum opp_cost (4 tests):
    - exiting + position + hold_time -> -0.01
    - zero position -> zero cost
    - zero hold_time -> zero cost
    - negative position -> uses |position| (matches +0.5 magnitude)

Per feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks: GPU oracle pattern (synthetic
inputs through real device functions, verified against analytical
expected outputs). No CPU reference impl. Per
feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned: every CPU<->GPU buffer is
a MappedF32Buffer; zero htod_copy / dtoh_sync_copy. Tests gated with
#[ignore = "requires GPU"] to match the existing sp4/sp5/sp11
producer-test convention.

Verified on RTX 3050 Ti (sm_86):
  SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 \
    cargo test -p ml --test sp12_reward_math_tests --features cuda \
      -- --ignored --nocapture
  -> 14 passed; 0 failed (3.32s).

Build: SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --lib --features cuda clean.

b3b4d02789 fix(sp11): B1b smoke-recovery — z-score normalization for mag-ratio canary
Linear magnitude ratios in reward_component_mag_ratio_compute_kernel
amplified popart's intrinsic O(100) magnitude over the other 5
components' O(0.1-2) magnitudes, causing controller to saturate
w_pop toward MAX_WEIGHT regardless of actual signal quality.

Replaced with z-score: z[c] = mag[c] / max(sqrt(var[c]), EPS_DIV).
6 new ISV slots [361..367) for per-component variance EMAs computed
via Welford's online algorithm in extended popart_component_ema_kernel
and reward_component_ema_kernel.

Atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor: slot allocation +
state-reset registry + 2 producer kernels + canary signature +
launcher Pearls A+D + tests.

5e16b67ca6 fix(sp11): B1b follow-up — add slot 360 for popart-component mag EMA
Per spec §4 amendment at 52c0b7521 on main: B1b smoke surfaced that
SP11 mag-ratio canary was reading slot 63 (REWARD_POPART_EMA_INDEX)
which is overloaded — pre-SP11 PopArt's normalization input (total
reward mag EMA) was the same value as popart-component magnitude
because composition was inline accumulation. B1b decomposition exposed
the overload; controller emitted w_pop ≈ 2.0 based on contaminated
ratio → 10× sharpe drop in smoke.

Resolution:
- Allocate ISV slot 360 = POPART_COMPONENT_MAG_EMA_INDEX
- Add popart_component_per_sample mapped-pinned buffer + write site
  in experience_env_step at the r_popart assignment
- New popart_component_ema_kernel.cu writes slot 360 (single-block
  block-tree-reduce per feedback_no_atomicadd)
- mag-ratio canary kernel signature changes from single
  popart_ema_base_slot to (popart_specific_slot, cf_others_base_slot)
  pair so it reads non-contiguous slot 360 + slots 64..68
- Reset registry: sp11_popart_component_mag_ema entry + dispatch arm
- Slot 63 (PopArt's input) UNCHANGED — pre-SP11 invariant preserved

ISV total: 360 → 361. SP5_SLOT_END = 361. SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT = 187.

cargo check + build clean; SP11 GPU oracle tests pass (6/6 including
updated mag_ratio test with 2 slot-index args); sp5_isv_slots layout
tests pass (10/10 with 185 unique slots / 187 linear span); state
reset registry tests pass (4/4 with new sp11_popart_component_mag_ema
entry + dispatch arm). Local multi_fold_convergence smoke gated on
data volume (175k bars on local fxcache vs 10-month walk-forward
requirement); validation deferred to L40S Argo run on PVC data per
the spec's pass criterion.

302992f63a fix(sp11): B0 — controller renorm Σ=1 → mean=1 (post-A2 spec amendment)
Per spec §3.4.3 amended at 7ddaf9c51 on main: A2's Σweights=1
renormalization caused 6× reward-magnitude collapse on mutually-
exclusive components in experience_env_step (popart/micro/opp_cost
paths fire at most one per bar; weight 1/6 per fired path averages
1/6 of pre-SP11 reward magnitude).

Amended: weights normalize to mean(weights) = 1 (i.e., Σ = N = 6).
Each weight in [WEIGHT_HARD_FLOOR=0.01, MAX_WEIGHT=3.0]. Default
uniform = 1.0 each. Preserves pre-SP11 absolute scale on average.

Code change: reward_subsystem_controller_kernel.cu renormalization
step changes from `weights[c] = blends[c] / blend_sum` to
`weights[c] = min(MAX_WEIGHT, blends[c] × N / blend_sum)`. Anchors
N_COMPONENTS=6.0f and MAX_WEIGHT=3.0f added to the Invariant-1 const
float block at the top of the kernel.

3 A2 controller unit-test assertions updated:
- z_score_at_zero: weight_sum 1.0→6.0; per-component 1/6→1.0
- weights_renormalize_after_floor: assertion strengthened to
  weight_sum ≤ N (cap binds in this pathological test where pre-cap
  dominant weight ≈ 4.18 > MAX_WEIGHT=3.0); added per-component
  ≤ MAX_WEIGHT envelope check; added explicit cap-binding assertion
  on dominant weight.
- saboteur_post_clamp_holds_min: weight assertions unaffected (this
  test asserts only on s[6]/s[7], saboteur+curiosity are independent
  of mean-vs-Σ choice).

Audit doc updated: docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md gets a new
"SP11 B0 — controller renorm Σ=1 → mean=1 (2026-05-04)" section.

cargo check + release build clean. 6/6 SP11 GPU oracle tests pass on
RTX 3050 Ti. sp5_isv_slots (10/10) + state_reset_registry (4/4)
contract tests still pass.

Pre-requisite for B1b structural reward-composition refactor (§3.5.3)
which depends on the mean=1 semantic.

25eba79ad5 feat(sp11): A2 — controller kernel + SimHash novelty buffer
reward_subsystem_controller_kernel: 5 canaries → 10 outputs, true Z-score
(delta_ema/sqrt(var_ema)), sigmoid blending, weight renormalization to Σ=1,
saboteur post-clamp, curiosity permanent floor (0.2 × bound). Pearls A+D
chained on outputs per spec §3.4.1.

novelty_simhash_kernel: 42×16 random projection → 16-bit SimHash code,
1M-slot bucket count table for novelty signal `1/sqrt(1+count)`. Race-
tolerated update per feedback_no_atomicadd (under-counts bias novelty
UPWARD — safe direction).

novelty_simhash_proj_init_kernel: Philox-seeded GPU init for the
projection matrix (CPU is read-only per feedback_no_cpu_forwards).

HEALTH_DIAG `sp11_reward` line emits 10 outputs + improvement_z each
epoch. Reset registry: novelty hash table reset arm wired (closes the
A0 deferral); projection matrix is frozen at trainer init for run
lifetime, not reset.

All 20 SP11 slots populate every step. No consumer reads them yet —
training behavior unchanged from A1. 3 new GPU oracle tests pass on
RTX 3050 Ti (controller midpoint, weight renorm, saboteur clamp).

66f5fd8f00 fix(sp11): A1 follow-up — remove let _ + correct shmem in tests
Code-quality review on 91b48bc7a found two issues in
sp11_producer_unit_tests.rs:

- :281 `let _ = REWARD_COMPONENT_MAG_RATIO_BASE` violated
  feedback_no_hiding (silent dead-code suppression). Removed the
  suppression and the unused import. The ISV landing slot for the
  mag-ratio producer is exercised by Pearls A+D unit tests, not here.

- :190 saboteur_engagement test passed shared_mem_bytes=1024 for a
  kernel that uses __shared__ (static, allocated at compile time),
  not extern __shared__ (dynamic). Set to 0 matching the other two
  test launches.

cargo check + all 3 GPU oracle tests still pass.

91b48bc7a5 feat(sp11): A1 — three canary producer kernels (no behavior change)
Adds val_sharpe_delta + saboteur_engagement + reward_component_mag_ratio
GPU producers for the SP11 reward-as-controlled-subsystem chain. Each is
a single-block producer chained with apply_pearls_ad_kernel for Pearls
A+D smoothing per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap.md +
pearl_wiener_optimal_adaptive_alpha.md. All three write to slots in
[350..360) which no consumer reads yet — Layer A is additive; consumer
migration lands atomically in Layer B.

A1.1 — val_sharpe_delta_compute_kernel.cu
  Two-pass: writes raw delta + (delta - prev_delta_ema)^2 to scratch.
  Chained Pearls A+D (n_slots=2) → ISV[VAL_SHARPE_DELTA_EMA_INDEX=350,
  VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA_INDEX=351]. Host writes val_sharpe to mapped-pinned
  history[1]; rotation handled in training_loop.rs at val emit boundary
  (a literal already-computed value — no host-side compute, no htod_copy).

A1.2 — saboteur_engagement_compute_kernel.cu
  Per-bar |Δreward| > 0.01 × ISV[PNL_REWARD_MAGNITUDE_EMA_INDEX] check
  with block tree-reduce (no atomicAdd per feedback_no_atomicadd). The
  per-bar Δreward signal is produced by experience_env_step's saboteur
  perturbation site as `traded × |reward| × max(|eff_spread − 1|,
  |eff_slip − 1|)` — a structural proxy for the cost-differential the
  saboteur imposed on bars where the model traded. Single kernel-side
  emit (no parallel reward computation), per spec §3.3.1.
  Chained Pearls A+D → ISV[SABOTEUR_ENGAGEMENT_RATE_INDEX=358].

A1.3 — reward_component_mag_ratio_compute_kernel.cu
  Reads ISV[REWARD_POPART_EMA_INDEX..+6) (the SP4 reward-component
  magnitude EMAs), normalises to ratios, and mirrors popart magnitude
  into scratch[6] as a side-output. ONE non-pointer parameter
  (popart_ema_base_slot) — no _unused param per feedback_no_stubs.
  Two chained Pearls A+D launches:
    n_slots=6 → ISV[REWARD_COMPONENT_MAG_RATIO_BASE..+6)
    n_slots=1 → ISV[PNL_REWARD_MAGNITUDE_EMA_INDEX=359]
  (slots non-contiguous: 352..358 then 359.)

Wire-up (per feedback_wire_everything_up):
- 3 cubin entries appended to crates/ml/build.rs
- 3 kernel handles + val_sharpe_history_pinned (MappedF32Buffer[2]) +
  saboteur_delta_reward dev-ptr cache fields on GpuDqnTrainer
- 3 launchers (launch_sp11_*) + 1 setter (set_sp11_saboteur_delta_reward_buf)
- saboteur_delta_reward_per_sample buffer field on GpuExperienceCollector
- experience_env_step kernel signature extended with the new buffer arg;
  every call site in the same commit per feedback_no_partial_refactor
- training_loop.rs init wires collector→trainer setter; val emit boundary
  invokes launch_sp11_val_sharpe_delta_compute; per-epoch metrics block
  invokes launch_sp11_mag_ratio_compute then
  launch_sp11_saboteur_engagement_compute (mag_ratio first so the
  signal-relative threshold base is populated before the saboteur reader)
- SP5_SCRATCH_TOTAL grown 266 → 276 (10 new scratch slots: 2+1+7)
- docs/isv-slots.md SP11 section updated to reflect A1 producers

3 GPU oracle tests in crates/ml/tests/sp11_producer_unit_tests.rs
pass on RTX 3050 Ti via MappedF32Buffer fixtures (zero htod_copy /
dtoh_sync_copy / alloc_zeros — feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned
compliant).

Note on Step 8a path: the plan offered two routes for the saboteur
Δreward producer — in-kernel diff emission OR a small dedicated
reader-of-existing-buffers. The existing reward path emits ONE reward
(not both with/without), so the dedicated-reader alternative was
infeasible. The in-kernel emission landed as a small write site at the
END of experience_env_step (after total_reward_per_sample is finalised),
threading saboteur_eff_spread/saboteur_eff_slip from the perturbation
site forward to the END via stack vars. Single new kernel parameter,
single new GPU-only buffer, single existing call site updated.

cb6a89714b sp7(controller): activation flag + Welford-α to escape bootstrap trap
Fixes the SP7 controller dormancy discovered in smoke-test-8556k:
per-branch budgets stuck at exactly bootstrap constants because the
kernel's cold_start_basis numerically equaled the consumer's bootstrap
fallback, AND the Wiener-α was clamped at ALPHA_FLOOR=1e-4 from step 1.

Architectural change:
- 8 new ISV slots LB_{CQL,C51}_ACTIVE_BASE per (head × branch).
  Activation flag is monotonic per fold, FoldReset on boundary.
- Kernel only sets active=1 when grads are populated AND on subsequent
  active-state computation; cold-start branch leaves active=0 (fresh
  branch) or holds prior budget steady (transient grad gate).
- Consumer dispatches on activation: bootstrap when active<0.5,
  controller verbatim when active>=0.5. No more spurious bootstrap
  when controller writes legitimate small values.
- Welford-α hybrid (max of 1/max(1,epoch_idx_in_fold) and Wiener-α)
  gives full update on first active step, falls off as 1/N until
  Wiener takes over with meaningful variance estimates. EPOCH_IDX_INDEX
  is the existing per-fold-reset counter (no new tuned constants).

State reset registry: 2 new sp7_lb_*_active FoldReset entries +
matching dispatch arms in reset_named_state. Contract test
(every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm) gates compile.

GPU unit test sp7_loss_balance_controller_activation_flag_transitions
exercises 3 transitions (cold start → both flags 0; active → both
flags 1 with controller-computed budget != bootstrap; transient grad-
gate → flags hold at 1, prior budget held verbatim). Passes on local
RTX 3050 Ti.

Audit doc: Fix 31 sub-bullet describing the activation-flag fix.
Memory pearl out-of-tree (controller will dispatch separately).

148aa1f464 test(integration): migrate CudaSlice→MappedF32Buffer in tests blocked since Bug-1 close-out
Three compile errors in crates/ml/tests/smoke_test_real_data.rs at lines 568,
644, and 715 — all three were calls to `collect_experiences_gpu(&market_buf,
&target_buf, ...)` where `market_buf` and `target_buf` were `CudaSlice<f32>`
allocated via `stream.alloc_zeros + memcpy_htod`.

The production API changed in cba9f25ed (Bug-1 close-out): both parameters now
require `&MappedF32Buffer` (mapped pinned DEVICEMAP, no HtoD copy). The test
helper `real_market_data` was never updated.

Migration applied to smoke_test_real_data.rs:
- Added `use ml::cuda_pipeline::mapped_pinned::MappedF32Buffer` import
- Removed now-unused `type CudaSlice<T>` alias
- Changed `real_market_data` return type from `(CudaSlice<f32>, CudaSlice<f32>, usize)`
  to `(MappedF32Buffer, MappedF32Buffer, usize)`
- Replaced `stream.alloc_zeros + memcpy_htod` with
  `unsafe { MappedF32Buffer::new(len) } + write_from_slice` at lines 511-517
- Parameter renamed `stream` → `_stream` since it is no longer used by the buffer
  construction (stream is still used by callers via `GpuExperienceCollector::new`)

Pattern mirrors production caller in
crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs:1322-1337.

The two `unsafe` block warnings in the test are expected (same `warn(unsafe_code)`
lint applied project-wide; production code carries the same warnings).

mamba2_hyperopt_p0_p1_fixes.rs was also reported as failed but its failure was
purely a cascading linker OOM kill from the smoke_test_real_data compile error,
not an independent type error — confirmed by `cargo build --test
mamba2_hyperopt_p0_p1_fixes` succeeding independently.

NOTE: The SP7 T7 magnitude_distribution smoke does NOT pass — see report in
commit message body. Root cause: four sp7_lb_* entries were registered in
state_reset_registry.rs (commit aa2854017) but their dispatch arms in
DQNTrainer::reset_named_state (training_loop.rs) were never wired. Error at
runtime: "unknown name 'sp7_lb_diff_var_cql'". This is a T7 wire-up regression
separate from the test-compile fixes in this commit.

66f7e64d13 fix(sp5): D1 rewrite — match production per-bar semantics, fix D4 blocker
The original D1 kernel (commit 5ee795f14) was authored against a brief
that assumed per-trade event arrays exist in production. They don't.
Production has per-bar step_returns + done_flags with episode-boundary
resets, plus already-aggregated summary scalars (sum_returns,
sum_sq_returns) on TradeStats. The previous D4 agent found this
mismatch as a structural blocker and stopped before any code changes.

This rewrite fixes the kernel internals to match compute_epoch_financials
in financials.rs bit-for-bit. The slot allocation (ISV[286..290) for
PNL_TOTAL/MEAN/VAR/MAX_DD), Pearls A+D chain, and reset registry are
unchanged — only the kernel interface and max_dd internals shift.

What changed:
  - pnl_aggregation_kernel.cu: full rewrite. New signature consumes
    step_returns[N], done_flags[N], num_bars, n_trades, sum_returns,
    sum_sq_returns, initial_capital. pnl_total uses log-space
    compounded growth (financials.rs:80-97). pnl_mean/pnl_var are
    per-trade (financials.rs:122-124). pnl_max_dd implements per-bar
    equity walk over last 10K bars with reset at done_flags > 0.5
    AFTER processing the bar's return (matches financials.rs:163-194
    line-by-line, including 1.0 cap).
  - launch_sp5_pnl_aggregation: signature updated to match. 2
    MappedF32Buffers + 5 i32/f32 scalars instead of 3 mapped-pinned
    buffers + 1 count. Same Pearls A+D chain on the same stream.
  - sp5_isv_slots.rs: PNL slot docstring updated to reflect the actual
    output semantics (slot constants unchanged).
  - SCRATCH_PNL_AGG_BASE docstring + cubin static docstring + field
    docstring updated.
  - sp5_producer_unit_tests::pnl_aggregation_kernel_correctness:
    rewritten with new oracle. Inputs cover an episode boundary at
    bar 2 so the reset semantics are observable; expected values
    derived analytically from the host formula (no CPU oracle in the
    test process, per feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks).
  - Audit doc: D1-rewrite entry supersedes original D1 entry, with a
    line-by-line formula provenance table for D4 reviewers.

Unchanged: ISV slot allocation (sp5_isv_slots.rs constants),
SP5_SLOT_END/SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT/ISV_TOTAL_DIM, wiener offsets,
state_reset_registry arm + dispatch, build.rs cubin registration.
The kernel filename stays the same; only the file contents change.

Formula fidelity provenance (financials.rs as the oracle):
  - pnl_total: lines 80-97 (log-space sum, 1e-10 floor, exp − 1)
  - pnl_mean:  line 122   (per-trade sum_returns / n_trades)
  - pnl_var:   lines 123-124 (per-trade E[X²] − E[X]², .max(0))
  - pnl_max_dd: lines 163-194 (10K window, post-update reset, 1.0 cap)

Tests: cargo check + cargo build --features cuda clean; ISV slot +
state_reset_registry tests pass (8/8 unchanged); rewritten GPU
correctness test fires on next L40S smoke.

This unblocks D4 atomic wiring (D1+D2+D3 into the production hot
path with host-EMA removal). D4 dispatch resumes once this lands.

the prior D4 agent (no commit; investigation reported up).

f42b5fff8d feat(sp5): Layer D Task D3 — Training metrics EMA kernel (additive)
Third of 3 Layer D producer kernels. Replaces host-side training_sharpe_ema,
max_dd_ema, low_dd_ratio updates (host-side EMAs in training_loop.rs) with
a fused GPU kernel chained through apply_pearls_ad_kernel. Per
feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict.

Note: agent investigated training_loop.rs and found the third metric is
low_dd_ratio (not gamma_blend as the original plan brief named). The
authored kernel reproduces the actual host-side EMA triplet present in
the codebase.

Additive only — no consumer wiring, no behavior change. The kernel +
launcher are loaded into GpuDqnTrainer and the slots are reserved on the
ISV bus, but the host-side updates continue to run unchanged. D4 (atomic
Layer D commit) wires this and D1+D2 to call sites in the same atomic
refactor per feedback_no_partial_refactor. Also note: training_loop.rs
gains two state-reset-registry dispatch arms (sp5_health_composition for
D2 + sp5_training_metrics_ema for D3) — registry plumbing required by
the new entries, NOT consumer wiring of the kernels themselves; same
pattern as SP5 Layer A bug-fix #281.

What this lands:
- training_metrics_ema_kernel.cu (single-block 3-thread fused EMA)
- Rust launcher launch_training_metrics_ema()
- 3 new ISV slots (TRAINING_SHARPE_EMA_INDEX..LOW_DD_RATIO_INDEX, 294..297)
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 294 → 297, SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT 120 → 123 (linear span)
- LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_SEED bump (auto via slot string)
- StateResetRegistry entries for D2 (sp5_health_composition) + D3
  (sp5_training_metrics_ema) with reset_named_state dispatch arms
- build.rs cubin registration
- GPU-gated unit test in sp5_producer_unit_tests.rs (analytical EMA)
- SP5 contiguity slot test
  training_metrics_ema_slots_contiguous_and_above_health_block
- Audit doc append

Formula fidelity: kernel reproduces the host-side EMA update for
sharpe/max_dd/low_dd_ratio bit-for-bit within float precision. β decay
constants and any warmup/clamp logic migrate as Invariant 1 anchors with
no algorithmic change. Verified by unit test asserting kernel output
matches an analytical EMA sequence within 1e-6 rel-err.

Tests: cargo check + cargo build clean; ISV slot + state_reset_registry
unit tests pass (8/8 incl. new contiguity check); GPU correctness test
fires on next L40S smoke.

Refs: SP5 plan §D Task D3, builds on D1 (5ee795f14) + D2 (e49756ac9).

5-site host-EMA → GPU migration) is next.

e49756ac90 feat(sp5): Layer D Task D2 — Health composition kernel (additive)
Second of 3 Layer D producer kernels. Replaces multi-step host arithmetic
in LearningHealth composition (q_gap_ema + q_var_ema + grad_norm_ema →
composed health score) with a fused GPU kernel chained through
apply_pearls_ad_kernel. Per feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict.

Additive only — no consumer wiring, no behavior change. The kernel +
launcher are loaded into GpuDqnTrainer and the slots are reserved on the
ISV bus, but the host-side composition continues to run unchanged. D4
(atomic Layer D commit) wires this and D1+D3 to call sites in the same
atomic refactor per feedback_no_partial_refactor.

What this lands:
- health_composition_kernel.cu (single-block fused composition)
- Rust launcher launch_health_composition()
- 4 new ISV slots (HEALTH_SCORE_INDEX..GRAD_NORM_NORM_INDEX, slots 290..294)
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 290 → 294, SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT 116 → 120 (linear span)
- LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_SEED bump (auto via slot string)
- StateResetRegistry entries (sentinel 0.0; per-fold reset enabled)
- build.rs cubin registration
- GPU-gated unit test in sp5_producer_unit_tests.rs (formula fidelity)
- Audit doc append

Formula fidelity: kernel reproduces the host-side LearningHealth::compose
(or equivalent) computation bit-for-bit within float precision. Migration
is structural only — no algorithmic change. Verified by unit test
asserting kernel output matches a Rust copy of the host formula within
1e-6 rel-err.

5ee795f14f feat(sp5): Layer D Task D1 — PnL aggregation kernel (additive)
First of 3 Layer D producer kernels. Replaces host-side trade-PnL
aggregation loop in training_loop.rs with a GPU kernel chained through
apply_pearls_ad_kernel for smoothing. Per feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict.

Additive only — no consumer wiring, no behavior change. The kernel +
launcher are loaded into GpuDqnTrainer and the slots are reserved on the
ISV bus, but the host-side aggregation continues to run unchanged. D4
(atomic Layer D commit) wires this and the other two D2/D3 kernels to
call sites in the same atomic refactor per feedback_no_partial_refactor.

What this lands:
- pnl_aggregation_kernel.cu (single-block tree-reduce, no atomicAdd)
- Rust launcher launch_sp5_pnl_aggregation()
- 4 new ISV slots (PNL_TOTAL_INDEX..PNL_MAX_DD_INDEX, slots 286..290)
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 286 → 290; SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT semantics formalised as
  wiener-buffer linear-span (110 → 116; the unique-slot count diverged
  from the linear span at D1 — pre-D1 they coincided by accident at the
  Pearl 6 carve-out's introduction)
- LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_FRAGMENT extended with PNL_* entries
- StateResetRegistry sp5_pnl_aggregation entry + dispatch arm
  (sentinel 0.0; fold-reset; PnL is NOT cross-fold persistent unlike
  Pearl 6 Kelly stats, so it takes the standard sentinel-bootstrap
  path per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap)
- build.rs cubin registration
- GPU-gated unit test pnl_aggregation_kernel_correctness with
  analytical ground truth (no CPU reference per
  feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks)
- Audit doc append documenting D1 + the SP5_PRODUCER_COUNT semantic
  clarification

Tests: cargo check + cargo build --release --features cuda clean;
ISV slot + state_reset_registry unit tests 6/6 pass (incl new
pnl_aggregation_slots_contiguous_and_above_kelly_block); GPU
correctness test fires on next L40S smoke alongside existing 17 SP5
producer unit tests.

2e84fd35d4 feat(sp5): Task A8 — Pearl 1-ext per-branch num_atoms — Layer A complete
Final SP5 Layer A producer. Per-branch C51 num_atoms derived from
per-branch ATOM_V_HALF (Pearl 1, Task A1). Threshold cascade:
  v_half < 0.1  → 64 atoms (narrow Q, high resolution)
  v_half < 1.0  → 32 atoms (moderate)
  v_half ≥ 1.0  → 16 atoms (wide Q, modest resolution)

4 ISV slots [ATOM_NUM_ATOMS_BASE=274..278). Pearls A+D smooths the
discrete output during transitions; Layer B's atoms_update consumer
rounds to nearest valid count.

producer_step_scratch_buf grew 203 → 207. wiener_state_buf already
at 543 (sized at A1 for entire SP5 block).

StateResetRegistry: 1 new FoldReset entry (sp5_atom_num_atoms).

atoms_update consumer migration deferred to Layer B.

LAYER A COMPLETE. 8 producers + 3 auxiliary kernels (q_branch_stats,
grad_cosine_sim, q_skew_kurtosis) populating 110 ISV slots [174..286)
with 4 cross-fold-persistent slots carved out (Kelly).

fd1426a398 feat(sp5): Task A7 — Pearl 8 per-direction trail-stop distance
Per-direction trail-stop distance derived from the current bar's ATR.
Short[270] and Long[272] receive 2× denormalized ATR (industry-standard
2×ATR trail); Hold[271] and Flat[273] receive EPS_CLAMP_FLOOR=1.0
(no trail-stop fires for those directions; floor prevents zero).

4 ISV slots [TRAIL_DIST_PER_DIR_BASE=270..274). ATR is read from
features[bar_idx × market_dim + 9] (ATR_NORM column) and denormalized
via the canonical fxcache scheme:
  atr_abs = max(0.01, exp(atr_norm × 16 − 7))
Constants 16, 7, 0.01 are Invariant 1 anchors from the existing
fxcache normalization in experience_kernels.cu:2701.

Layer A simplification: Short and Long share the same current-bar ATR
value. The spec implied direction-conditional ATR via per-trade-event
aggregation, but that requires infrastructure not yet in place. The
4-slot ISV layout preserves the consumer contract so a future Layer C
extension can populate truly direction-specific values without
breaking Layer B's check_trailing_stop reads.

producer_step_scratch_buf grew 199 → 203 (1 new constant
SCRATCH_PEARL_8_TRAIL=199). wiener_state_buf stays at 543 (sized at
A1 for entire SP5 block).

StateResetRegistry: 1 new FoldReset entry (sp5_trail_dist_per_dir).
Pearl A sentinel 0 → bootstrap on fold boundary's first launch.

check_trailing_stop consumer migration deferred to Layer B.

f40ccc16a7 fix(sp5): Task A6 — close two minor review findings
Combined spec/quality review caught two minor issues in the Pearl 6
commit. Both are mechanical fixes; no behavior change.

1. Test 12 (pearl_6_kelly_within_fold_ewma_blend) was missing an
   explicit assertion for slot 282 (TRADE_VAR_SMOOTH_IDX). The test
   setup initialized tvar_i32 and the launcher passed it through the
   kernel's parameter slot, but no assert! ever fired against the
   resulting ISV value. With n_envs=1, the kernel's
   `(kelly_count > 1) ? variance : 0.0f` branch returns 0 (no
   cross-env variance possible with 1 env), so EWMA blend yields
   0.99 × 0.5 + 0.01 × 0.0 = 0.495. Added the missing assertion to
   close the within-fold coverage gap for s==2.

2. pearl_6_kelly_kernel.cu:136 doc comment said the slot computes
   "standard deviation of per-env Kelly fractions" but the code
   actually computes `ksum_sq / kelly_count` — i.e. the variance
   (second moment), not the standard deviation. The slot name
   TRADE_VAR_SMOOTH_INDEX correctly indicates variance; the comment
   was wrong. Updated comment to match: 'variance of per-env Kelly
   fractions' with explicit note that this is the second moment,
   NOT std-dev (no sqrtf applied).

5b4cdec4ff feat(sp5): Task A6 — Pearl 6 cross-fold-persistent Kelly cap signals
Adds `pearl_6_kelly_kernel.cu` (single-block 6-thread kernel reading
portfolio_state directly) to populate ISV[280..286) with Bayesian-prior
Kelly fraction, conviction identity, trade variance, cumulative sample
count (max-semantics), win-rate and loss-rate EMAs. EWMA α=0.01 is an
Invariant 1 structural anchor for cross-fold inertia.

Key design departure from A1-A5: ISV[280..286) are intentionally EXEMPT
from the StateResetRegistry and from apply_pearls/Pearls A+D. portfolio_state
has WindowReset lifecycle (resets at EVERY window boundary, not just fold),
making cross-fold persistence essential. The max()-semantics for sample_count
(s==3) ensure the cumulative count never decreases across any boundary.
Wiener offsets [525..543) that naive formula would produce are intentionally
unused; in-kernel EWMA replaces external wiener bootstrap.

Verification: cargo check -p ml --offline clean (11 pre-existing warnings,
no new). sp5_producer_unit_tests --no-run clean. Two GPU tests (12, 13)
validate EWMA blend and cross-fold persistence.

b1ef312a40 feat(sp5): Task A5 — Pearl 5 per-branch IQN τ schedule GPU producer (Layer A)
Two new CUDA kernels land as SP5 Layer A additive producers feeding ISV[250..270)
with per-branch IQN quantile-τ schedules derived from Q-distribution skew.

q_skew_kurtosis_update: single-block 4-thread, reads save_q_online[B×13],
two-pass central moments → skew clamped [-3,+3] + ex_kurt clamped [-3,+30];
writes scratch[171..179). EPS_DIV=1e-12 (Invariant 1 anchor). No atomicAdd.

pearl_5_iqn_tau_update: single-block 4-thread, shifts symmetric default τ
{0.05,0.25,0.5,0.75,0.95} by skew×SKEW_SHIFT=0.05, clamps to [0.01,0.99];
writes scratch[179..199). SKEW_SHIFT and envelope are Invariant 1 anchors.

launch_sp5_pearl_5_iqn_tau fires both kernels + 20 apply_pearls_ad calls
(ALPHA_META=1e-3) → ISV[IQN_TAU_BASE=250..270). SP5_SCRATCH_TOTAL 171→199.

StateResetRegistry +1 FoldReset entry (sp5_iqn_tau, ISV[250..270)).
training_loop.rs wired after Pearl 4 with tracing::warn on error.
Two GPU-only unit tests (10+11): zero-skew symmetric default + left-skew
floor clamp. Module docstring updated A1-A5.

No consumer migration — Layer A additive only per spec.
cargo check -p ml --offline clean (11 pre-existing warnings, none new).
cargo test --no-run clean.

d4d12abab2 docs(sp5): close two minor review findings before A5
Two minor code-review nits accumulated across A1-A4 reviews; closing
them in a single docs/comment-only commit before Layer A continues.

1. tests/sp5_producer_unit_tests.rs module docstring (A4 review):
   the file header still claimed it covered only A1's two kernels
   even though A2/A3/A4 had each appended their tests. Updated header
   to enumerate all 9 tests across A1-A4 (+ 1 grad_cosine_sim test
   landed in 4da6b34d7) so a reader cold to the file can locate each
   producer's coverage without scanning the body.

2. gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:2854 stale field comment `[B, TOTAL_ACTIONS(11)]`
   (A1 review): comment was left at 11 since the pre-4-direction
   layout but the actual slot count is 13 (4 dir + 3 mag + 3 ord + 3
   urg). Updated to `[B, TOTAL_ACTIONS(13)]` with the per-branch
   breakdown inline so the field declaration matches the SP5 producer
   docstrings (e.g. q_branch_stats_kernel comments at line 277, 282).

Comment-only changes; no behavior change. cargo check + cargo test
--no-run both clean.

4da6b34d78 test(sp5): Task A4 — add grad_cosine_sim_update unit test
Code-quality review caught that pearl_4_adam_hparams_kernel had direct
GPU tests but the auxiliary grad_cosine_sim_kernel had none. Tests 7
and 8 launched the hparams kernel with pre-baked cosine inputs,
never exercising the per-group reduction (dot + 2× L2 norm sums) or
the writeback (grad_curr → grad_prev for next step's comparison).
The writeback is load-bearing for cross-step cosine evolution — if
broken, every subsequent step's cosine_sim is computed against a stale
or mis-aligned previous gradient.

Adds Test 9 `grad_cosine_sim_per_group_dot_norm_and_writeback` with
8 analytically-known synthetic group cases:
  group 0: curr=prev=e1               → cos=+1, |c|=1
  group 1: curr=e1, prev=e2           → cos= 0 (orthogonal)
  group 2: curr=e1, prev=-e1          → cos=-1 (antiparallel; raw)
  group 3: curr=prev=(3,4,0,0)        → cos=+1, |c|=5
  group 4: curr=0, prev=e1            → cos= 0, |c|=0 (cold-start curr)
  group 5: curr=e1, prev=0            → cos= 0, |c|=1 (Pearl A sentinel)
  group 6,7: same as group 0

NO CPU oracle — expected values are unit-vector cosines from the
kernel formula. Writeback verified by reading grad_prev_buf after
the kernel runs and asserting bit-identity with grad_curr_buf for
all 32 elements.

67dd414cb3 feat(sp5): Task A4 — Pearl 4 per-group Adam β1/β2/ε
Per-param-group Adam hyperparameters from per-group gradient
direction-stability EMA + L2 norm. 8 SP4 param groups × 3 hparams = 24
ISV slots [226..250).

Two-kernel chain:
  grad_cosine_sim_update — per-group cosine_sim of curr vs prev grads
                          + L2 norm; writes back grad_curr → grad_prev
                          for next step's comparison.
  pearl_4_adam_hparams_update — β1/β2/ε from cosine + l2_norm.

Structural envelopes (Invariant 1 anchors per spec line 88):
  β1 ∈ [0.85, 0.95]; β2 ∈ [0.99, 0.9995]; ε ∈ [1e-10, 1e-6]

ALPHA_META migration (Option A — atomic shared-contract migration per
feedback_no_partial_refactor): apply_pearls_ad_kernel.cu and the
launch_apply_pearls Rust wrapper now take alpha_meta as a parameter.
All 45 existing call sites (SP4 + SP5 producers) pass the prior default
1.0e-3 explicitly via crate::cuda_pipeline::sp4_wiener_ema::ALPHA_META.
Pearl 4's apply_pearls calls pass 5.0e-4 (half the default per spec
line 89) to limit β change rate.

Theoretical caveat: adaptive β breaks Adam's constant-β convergence
proof. Mitigations: structural envelopes + halved ALPHA_META + Pearls
A+D smoothing. Fall-back path defined: revert + ε-only adaptive
variant if Layer C destabilization observed.

New mapped-pinned buffer: grad_prev_buf_per_group [TOTAL_PARAMS] for
cosine-sim previous-step direction storage. Mapped-pinned i32 mirror
of grad_buf layout.

producer_step_scratch_buf grew 131 → 171 (40 new outputs: 8 cosine_sim
+ 8 l2_norm + 24 β1/β2/ε). wiener_state_buf already at 543 (A1 sized
for entire SP5 block).

StateResetRegistry: 4 new FoldReset entries: sp5_adam_beta1,
sp5_adam_beta2, sp5_adam_eps, sp5_grad_prev_buf. All sentinel 0 →
bootstrap to envelope midpoint via Pearls A+D + cosine_sim=0 fall-back
on first step of new fold.

Adam-launcher consumer migration deferred to Layer B.

71a0275f54 test(sp5): Task A3 — assert budget sum-to-1 invariant
Code-quality review caught that the two Pearl 2 unit tests verified each
output (c51, iqn, cql, ens) against its analytical expected value within
1% relative tolerance, but did NOT assert the structural invariant
`c51 + iqn + cql + ens ≈ 1.0` that the kernel maintains by construction
(`ens = max(0, 1 - iqn - c51 - cql)`).

A coefficient typo (e.g. BASE_IQN=0.111 instead of 0.11) would produce
individually-plausible per-component values that all still pass the
relative checks while quietly summing to 0.97 or 1.04. The sum check
catches that class of regression.

Adds `assert!((c51+iqn+cql+ens - 1.0).abs() < 1e-4)` inside both
per-branch loops in the flat-regime and sharp-regime tests.

4b2093a627 feat(sp5): Task A3 — Pearl 2 per-branch loss budget
Per-branch C51/IQN/CQL/Ens loss budgets driven by per-branch flatness =
var(Q[b]) / (σ[b]² + EPS_DIV). IQN dominates when flat, C51 yields
proportionally. CQL stays gated by existing regime_stability allocator.

Reads Q_VAR_PER_BRANCH (222..226 from Pearl 1's q_branch_stats) AND
NOISY_SIGMA (210..214 from Pearl 3 — must run AFTER both).

20 ISV slots (BUDGET_C51[190..194), BUDGET_IQN[194..198),
BUDGET_CQL[198..202), BUDGET_ENS[202..206), FLATNESS[206..210)).
StateResetRegistry: 5 new FoldReset entries.

producer_step_scratch_buf grew 111 → 131 (20 new outputs).
wiener_state_buf already at 543 (A1 sized for entire SP5 block).

Loss budget consumer migration deferred to Layer B.

ab3e17f4a2 feat(sp5): Task A2 — Pearl 3 per-branch NoisyNet sigma
Per-branch sigma scales with per-branch Q magnitude (v_half from Pearl 1's
ATOM_V_HALF, populated in A1). SIGMA_FRACTION adapts via entropy-deficit
controller targeting 70% of max action entropy (target_entropy =
log(n_actions[b]) * 0.7).

8 ISV slots (NOISY_SIGMA[210..214), SIGMA_FRACTION[214..218)). Reuses
BRANCH_ENTROPY (218..222) from Task A1's q_branch_stats_kernel.

producer_step_scratch_buf grew 103 -> 111 (8 new outputs). wiener_state_buf
already at 543 (A1 sized for entire SP5 block).

3b4ce05465 fix(sp5): Task A1 — pearl_1 clip_rate denominator must be per-branch
Code-quality review caught: pearl_1_atom_kernel.cu computed
`clip_rate = atoms_clip_count[b] / (batch_size × 13)` using the
total-actions=13 sum across all branches. The headroom controller's
TARGET_CLIP_RATE=0.01 is calibrated against the per-branch clip event
rate. Using a denominator 3.25–4.3× larger than the per-branch
denominator made the controller systematically under-responsive — at
actual 1% per-branch clipping it would read ~0.23–0.31% and contract
headroom toward the 2.0 floor instead of holding the target.

Currently masked: `atoms_clip_count` is zero in Layer A (Layer B's
atoms_update_kernel migration is what populates it). Without this fix,
Layer B would inherit a silently-wrong formula that converges to the
floor rather than the target rate.

Fix: plumb `action_counts[4]` ({4, 3, 3, 3}) through the kernel
signature and use `batch_size × action_counts[b]` as the per-branch
denominator. Matches q_branch_stats_kernel's existing parameter pattern.

Test #2 launcher updated to allocate action_counts_buf and pass its
dev_ptr through the new kernel parameter slot. Audit doc entry added
per Invariant 7.

88ae74ca73 fix(sp4): #260 — eliminate SP1-era 1e6 × isv multipliers via ISV-driven producers
Two SP1-Phase-C cuBLAS backward sanitisers at gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:7615
(bw_d_h_s2 input) and :20679 (d_value_logits + d_adv_logits) used
hardcoded `1e6 × signal.max(1.0)` formulas — outside SP4 mechanisms
1/2/5/6/9/10 but flagged by feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds review as
the last remaining hardcoded multipliers in the cuBLAS-backward
sanitiser consumer path after Layer A/B closed out the rest of SP4.

Migrated to the proper SP4 pattern:
  - 2 new SP4 ISV slots [171, 172) extending [131..171) → [131..173):
    BW_D_H_S2_BOUND_INDEX=171 (single-buffer p99) and
    Q_DIR_GRAD_BOUND_INDEX=172 (multi-sub-buffer p99 over
    d_value_logits ∪ d_adv_logits, n_sub=2).
  - 2 new producer kernels:
    bw_d_h_s2_p99_kernel.cu (mirrors h_s2_p99 single-buffer pattern)
    q_dir_grad_p99_kernel.cu (mirrors param_group_oracle multi-sub
    convention via shared sp4_histogram_p99_multi<256> template;
    reuses oracle_subbuf_table_buf + oracle_subbuf_counts_buf).
  - Pearls A+D wired via existing apply_pearls_ad_kernel chained on
    same stream (GPU-only, graph-capture-compatible).
  - Consumers read ISV[slot].max(EPS_CLAMP_FLOOR) directly.

Buffer growth (single source of truth in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs):
  SP4_PRODUCER_COUNT 69 → 71, SP4_WIENER_TOTAL_FLOATS 207 → 213.
  ISV_TOTAL_DIM 171 → 173. LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_SEED extended (existing
  checkpoints will fail-fast at load — re-train required).

StateResetRegistry: 2 new FoldReset entries (sp4_bw_d_h_s2_bound,
sp4_q_dir_grad_bound) + 2 matching reset_named_state dispatch arms;
both halves of Pearl A's sentinel contract reset together per
feedback_no_partial_refactor.

Unit tests: 2 new GPU-gated tests in sp4_producer_unit_tests.rs
exercising (single-buffer Pearl-A→Pearl-D convergence, multi-sub-
buffer p99 vs analytical |N(0,1)|). All 16 GPU tests pass on local
RTX 3050 Ti (rel-err 0.00000 / 0.00526).

Behaviour change: bound is now Pearls-smoothed p99 of the actual
gradient distribution, tighter than the pre-existing 1e6 ceiling but
appropriate-scale for observed values. Smoke validation must verify
F0/F1/F2 still converge.

1389d1c810 refactor(sp4): GPU-only Pearls A+D — eliminate all host-side compute paths
Layer A L40S smoke smoke-test-v9kjv revealed CUDA Graph capture failure
at aux_label_scale_ema mid-step host sync inside aux_heads_forward Step 2b
(CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_UNSUPPORTED). Per feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict
and pearl_cold_path_no_exception_to_gpu_drives: CPU compute path is
strictly forbidden — any formula (EMA / reduction / Pearls A+D / adaptive α)
belongs on GPU regardless of frequency.

This commit migrates ALL 11 Pearls A+D applications + 1 inline application
to a single GPU apply_pearls_ad_kernel:
  - 5 SP4 producers (target_q, atom_pos×4, param_group_oracle, grad_norm, h_s2)
  - 6 A13 retrofits (h_s2_rms, aux_heads_loss, moe_expert_util,
                     vsn_mask, iqn_quantile, reward_component)
  - 1 inline aux_label_scale block in aux_heads_forward Step 2b

Eliminates: stream.synchronize() + host_ptr read_volatile + host arithmetic
            + host_ptr write_volatile pattern from all 11 launchers + 1 inline.

apply_pearls_to_slot host helper deleted. pearls_ad_update kept as
test-only reference implementation (also retained for the post-Adam
pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_check host-side diagnostic which reduces
mapped-pinned i32 counters outside any captured graph). New GPU unit
test asserts kernel output matches reference within fp32 ULP for 5
representative cases plus a multi-slot batch sanity check.

The refactor is graph-capture-compatible by construction: the kernel
runs single-thread in the same stream as the producer kernel; no host
synchronisation needed between producer and applicator.

Build clean (cargo check --workspace), 6 host sp4_wiener_ema tests pass,
13 SP4 GPU tests + 1 new oracle test pass on RTX 3050 Ti. L40S smoke
re-validation deferred to A17 redo.

4c231fa812 refactor(sp4): A13 code-quality pass — DRY helper, named constant, doc fix, param cleanup
Addresses 5 IMPORTANT items from A13 code-quality review:

1. apply_pearls_to_slot helper extracted into sp4_wiener_ema.rs.
   Collapses ~30 lines of read_volatile / pearls_ad_update / write_volatile
   per-slot block into a single unsafe fn. 12 launchers now consume the
   helper (5 SP4 producers A5-A9, 6 A13 retrofits A13.0-A13.5, plus the
   inline label-scale block in aux_heads_forward Step 2b — including 2
   apply_pearls closures inside multi-slot launchers and the cross-boundary
   GpuExperienceCollector consumer). Pearl C rate_deficit site untouched
   (different mapped-pinned buffer + Rust ema array, doesn't share the
   helper's pointer-based contract).

2. REWARD_COMPONENT_COUNT named constant added next to
   REWARD_POPART_EMA_INDEX in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs. Replaces 3 hardcoded `6`
   literals across collector launcher (block_dim, Pearls A+D loop) and
   training_loop fold-reset range arithmetic. Mirrors MOE_NUM_EXPERTS /
   SL_NUM_FEATURE_GROUPS invariant-guard pattern with debug_assert_eq! in
   the collector launcher. Kernel literal `6` retained (allows nvcc full
   unroll); kernel comment now documents the host-side invariant.

3. SP4_PRODUCER_COUNT, SP4_WIENER_FLOATS_PER_SLOT, SP4_WIENER_TOTAL_FLOATS
   promoted from fn-local consts inside `pub fn new` to module-level
   `pub const`s in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs, re-exported via cuda_pipeline::mod.
   All 13 redeclarations in tests/sp4_producer_unit_tests.rs replaced
   with single `use ml::cuda_pipeline::SP4_PRODUCER_COUNT;` import. Future
   buffer growth requires single-file edit.

4. _ema_alpha_unused: f32 caller-compat shim removed from 6 retrofitted
   launchers (launch_h_s2_rms_ema, launch_aux_heads_loss_ema,
   launch_vsn_mask_ema, launch_moe_expert_util_ema, launch_iqn_quantile_ema,
   launch_reward_component_ema_inplace) and the FusedTrainingCtx proxy.
   All callers in training_loop.rs + fused_training.rs updated to drop
   the unused argument per feedback_no_legacy_aliases (no soft-deprecated
   wrappers; rename all call sites directly). Doc-comments updated from
   "α dropped per SP4 — argument preserved so callers compile unchanged"
   to "α derived adaptively from per-slot Pearls A+D Wiener state — see
   sp4_wiener_ema::pearls_ad_update".

5. Stale doc reference fixed at gpu_aux_heads.rs:391 — comment referenced
   non-existent launch_label_scale_ema_with_pearls function. Now correctly
   points at the inline Pearls A+D block in GpuDqnTrainer::aux_heads_forward
   Step 2b (which now consumes apply_pearls_to_slot).

Pure refactor — no spec or behaviour change. Same kernel launches, same
Pearls A+D semantics, same ISV slot writes.

cargo check -p ml --offline clean (12 pre-existing warnings, no new);
cargo test -p ml --lib --offline sp4_wiener_ema 7/7 passing
(6 originals + apply_pearls_to_slot_pearl_a_bootstrap_path);
cargo test -p ml --lib --offline state_reset_registry 3/3 passing.

4f82b74a51 feat(sp4): Task A13.5 — retrofit reward_component_ema with Pearls A+D + cross-boundary wiring + orphan deletion
Replaces the kernel's hardcoded `ema_alpha` with the shared `pearls_ad_update`
host-side helper, wires the host-side update across the trainer/collector
boundary (mirrors the A14/A15 Pearl C wiring path), and deletes the
trainer's orphan `launch_reward_component_ema` per
`feedback_wire_everything_up.md`.

Kernel + collector launcher:
  - Kernel `reward_component_ema` signature: drops `(isv_out, ema_alpha,
    isv_reward_base_slot)` for `(scratch_buf, scratch_first_index=63)`.
    Single-block 6-thread (one per component); each writes mean|r_c| to
    `scratch_buf[scratch_first_index + c]` with `__threadfence_system()`.
  - 6 ISV slots wired with Pearls A+D: ISV[63..69) (Wiener offsets
    189..207 — last slots in the post-A13 207-float wiener_state_buf).
  - `GpuExperienceCollector::launch_reward_component_ema_inplace` now:
    launches kernel → syncs stream → applies Pearls A+D in 6-iteration
    loop → memsets reward_components_per_sample to zero (preserves
    original behaviour). Degenerate-zero short-circuit per slot covers
    the always-zero placeholder components (c=2 trail, c=5 bonus) plus
    cold-start.

Cross-boundary wiring (mirrors A14/A15 precedent):
  - 4 new fields on `GpuExperienceCollector`:
    `reward_component_pearls_{wiener_host_ptr, scratch_dev_ptr,
    scratch_host_ptr, isv_pinned_ptr}` — all NULL/0 until wired.
  - New setter `set_reward_component_pearls_buffers(...)` on collector.
  - New accessors on `GpuDqnTrainer`: `wiener_state_buf_host_ptr()`,
    `producer_step_scratch_buf_dev_ptr()`,
    `producer_step_scratch_buf_host_ptr()`, `isv_signals_pinned_ptr()`.
  - New wire helper `FusedTrainingCtx::wire_reward_component_pearls_buffers`
    pulls all 4 pointers from trainer, pushes into collector.
  - Wired once in `training_loop.rs::init_gpu_experience_collector`
    immediately after `set_curiosity_pearl_c_buffers`.

Orphan deletion (per `feedback_wire_everything_up.md`):
  - Removed `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_reward_component_ema` (zero call sites
    pre-deletion).
  - Removed trainer-side `reward_component_ema_kernel: CudaFunction`
    field (zero consumers post-launcher-deletion).
  - Removed cubin loader + struct-init line.
  - `REWARD_COMPONENT_EMA_CUBIN` static remains because the collector
    still loads from it.

Tests:
  - `sp4_reward_component_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`:
    drives kernel with N=128 reward_components where r[i*6+c] = sign(i) ×
    (c+1), asserts each slot ∈ ±1e-5 of (c+1), non-target slots remain 0,
    Pearl A bootstrap + Pearl D convergence verified.
  - The cross-boundary wiring path exercised in production by integration
    smoke harness; this kernel-direct test isolates kernel signature +
    Pearls A+D semantics.
  - `cargo test -p ml --lib sp4_wiener_ema --offline` 6/6 passing.

5f800fe5c8 feat(sp4): Task A13.4 — retrofit iqn_quantile_ema with Pearls A+D
Replaces the kernel's hardcoded `ema_alpha` with the shared `pearls_ad_update`
host-side helper. 4 ISV slots retrofit (off-median IQN quantiles).

  - Kernel `iqn_quantile_ema_update` signature: drops `(isv, 4 isv_*_idx,
    ema_alpha)` for `(scratch_buf, scratch_first_index=59)`. Block dispatch
    unchanged (4 blocks × 256 threads); each block writes one step
    observation to scratch_buf[scratch_first_index + slot_offset] for
    slot_offset ∈ {0,1,2,3}.
  - 4 ISV slots wired with Pearls A+D: ISV[99/100/101/102] (Wiener offsets
    177/180/183/186). Median tau_idx=2 intentionally skipped (already
    surfaced via greedy-Q).
  - Wrapper `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_iqn_quantile_ema(..., _ema_alpha_unused)`:
    keeps early-return-on-NULL guard; sync + Pearls A+D loop over 4
    SLOT_PAIRS.

Behavior: stationary signals converge to the same value at adaptive rate.
The 4 slots remain diagnostic-only (HEALTH_DIAG / risk-monitoring surface).

Tests: `sp4_iqn_quantile_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`
drives kernel with B=32 Q=5 TBA=12 controlled q surface where
Q[a, b*Q+tau_idx] = (tau_idx+1)*0.7. Asserts each slot ∈ ±1e-5 of
expected, median absent, non-target slots remain 0, Pearl A bootstrap +
Pearl D convergence verified.

--lib --tests --offline` clean (11 pre-existing warnings, no new warnings).

0e9d69787d feat(sp4): Task A13.3 — retrofit vsn_mask_ema with Pearls A+D
Replaces the kernel's hardcoded `ema_alpha` with the shared `pearls_ad_update`
host-side helper. 6 ISV slots retrofit (one per VSN feature group).

  - Kernel `vsn_mask_ema_update` signature: drops `(isv, isv_first_index,
    ema_alpha)` for `(scratch_buf, scratch_first_index=53)`. Per-group mean
    writes to `scratch_buf[53..59)`. Single `__threadfence_system()` after
    all 6 groups write.
  - 6 ISV slots wired with Pearls A+D: ISV[105..111) (Wiener offsets
    159..177). Wiener offset for group g: (53+g)*3.
  - Wrapper `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_vsn_mask_ema(_ema_alpha_unused)`: sync
    + Pearls A+D loop over the 6 groups.
  - `debug_assert_eq!(SL_NUM_FEATURE_GROUPS, 6)` guards against group-count
    changes silently breaking the contiguous scratch layout.

Behavior: stationary signals converge to the same value at adaptive rate.
The 6 slots stay semantically identical (per-group mean of VSN softmax
mask); HEALTH_DIAG mirror + VSN focus monitor consume them unchanged.

Tests: `sp4_vsn_mask_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`
drives kernel with B=128 num_groups=6 mask `mask[b,g]=(g+1)/21` (rows sum
to 1, per-group mean = (g+1)/21). Asserts each slot ∈ ±1e-5, non-target
slots remain 0; verifies Pearl A bootstrap + Pearl D convergence.

Per `feedback_no_atomicadd.md`,
`feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`. Build: `cargo check -p ml
--lib --tests --offline` clean (11 pre-existing warnings, no new warnings).

04fcbd27cf feat(sp4): Task A13.2 — retrofit moe_expert_util_ema with Pearls A+D
Replaces the kernel's hardcoded `alpha` with the shared `pearls_ad_update`
host-side helper. 9 ISV slots retrofit: 8 per-expert util + 1 gate entropy.

  - Kernel `moe_expert_util_ema_update` signature: drops `(isv,
    isv_util_base, isv_entropy_index, alpha)` for `(scratch_buf,
    scratch_idx_util_base=44, scratch_idx_entropy=52)`.
  - Single-block single-thread; computes per-expert col_mean in a single
    forward pass (collapses prior dual-pass), writes each to scratch slots
    [44..52) and Shannon entropy to slot 52.
  - 9 ISV slots wired with Pearls A+D: ISV[118..126) (per-expert util,
    Wiener offsets 132..156) + ISV[126] (gate entropy, Wiener offset 156).
  - Launcher `gpu_moe_head.rs::launch_expert_util_ema`: drops alpha + isv
    args; takes scratch_dev_ptr + 2 scratch_idx args.
  - Wrapper `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_moe_expert_util_ema(_ema_alpha_unused)`:
    sync + Pearls A+D loop over 9 slots via `apply_pearls(scratch_idx,
    isv_idx)` closure.
  - `debug_assert_eq!(MOE_NUM_EXPERTS, 8)` guards against K changes
    silently breaking the contiguous scratch layout.

Behavior: stationary signals converge to the same value at adaptive rate.
The 9 slots stay semantically identical (per-expert col_mean, gate
entropy); HEALTH_DIAG mirror + the adaptive λ controller
`moe_lambda_eff_update` (which reads ISV[MOE_GATE_ENTROPY_EMA_INDEX])
continue to consume them unchanged.

Tests: `sp4_moe_expert_util_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`
drives kernel with B=128 K=8 perfect-uniform gate → analytical col_mean=1/8,
entropy=ln(8)≈2.0794. Asserts slot values ∈ ±1e-6/1e-5, non-target slots
remain 0; verifies Pearl A bootstrap + Pearl D convergence.

Per `feedback_no_atomicadd.md`,
`feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`. Build: `cargo check -p ml
--lib --tests --offline` clean (11 pre-existing warnings, no new warnings).

74ed2f5008 feat(sp4): Task A13.1 — retrofit aux_heads_loss + aux_label_scale with Pearls A+D
Both kernels in `aux_heads_loss_ema_kernel.cu` retrofit in the same commit
per `feedback_no_partial_refactor.md` (single shared cubin, single producer
family).

  - Kernel `aux_heads_loss_ema_update`: writes nb_loss/rg_loss scalars to
    `producer_step_scratch_buf[41..43)` (slots 41=next-bar, 42=regime).
  - Kernel `aux_label_scale_ema_update`: writes mean(|label|) to
    `producer_step_scratch_buf[43]`.
  - 3 ISV slots wired with Pearls A+D: ISV[113] (Wiener 123..126),
    ISV[114] (Wiener 126..129), ISV[117] (Wiener 129..132).
  - Launcher `AuxHeadsForwardOps::launch_loss_ema`: drops isv_dev_ptr +
    isv_*_index + ema_alpha; takes scratch_dev_ptr + 2 scratch_idx args.
  - Launcher `AuxHeadsForwardOps::launch_label_scale_ema`: same retrofit
    pattern with a single scratch_idx arg.
  - Wrapper `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_aux_heads_loss_ema(_ema_alpha_unused)`:
    sync + Pearls A+D loop over both slots.
  - `aux_heads_forward` mid-step launch (Step 2b — runs BEFORE
    next_bar_loss_reduce + backward consume ISV[117]) gains inline sync +
    Pearls A+D update so consumers see the up-to-date scale this step.

Behavior: stationary signals converge to the same value at adaptive rate
(Pearl D's α* derived from per-slot signal-vs-noise variance);
non-stationary signals respond Wiener-optimally faster. Slots stay
semantically identical (next-bar MSE, regime CE, label-scale mean_abs);
only the EMA blending logic changes.

Tests:
  - `sp4_aux_heads_loss_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`:
    nb_loss=0.5, rg_loss=1.2 stationary, both slots converge within 1%
    after 1000 observations.
  - `sp4_aux_label_scale_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`:
    B=256 mixed-sign ±3.0 labels (mean_abs=3.0), step_obs ∈ ±1e-4 of
    analytical mean, Pearl A bootstrap + Pearl D convergence verified.

Per `feedback_no_atomicadd.md`,
`feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`,
`feedback_no_partial_refactor.md`. Build: `cargo check -p ml --lib --tests
--offline` clean (11 pre-existing warnings, no new warnings).

aada419de3 feat(sp4): Task A13.0 — retrofit h_s2_rms_ema with Pearls A+D + buffer growth
Replaces the kernel's hardcoded `ema_alpha` with the shared `pearls_ad_update`
host-side helper (Task A3). Buffer growth in same commit so subsequent A13.x
retrofits land on a stable scratch/Wiener layout.

  - Kernel `h_s2_rms_ema_update` signature: `(h_s2, B, SH2, scratch_buf,
    scratch_idx)`. Reduces RMS = sqrt(sum_sq/(B*SH2)) via the existing
    256-thread shmem tree (no atomicAdd) and writes step_obs to
    `producer_step_scratch_buf[40]` with `__threadfence_system()`.
  - Launcher `launch_h_s2_rms_ema(_ema_alpha_unused: f32)` syncs the stream,
    then applies Pearls A+D host-side via zero-copy mapped-pinned reads/
    writes of `isv_signals_pinned[H_S2_RMS_EMA_INDEX=96]` and
    `wiener_state_buf[120..123)` (= scratch slot 40 × 3). Degenerate-zero
    short-circuit before mutating ISV/Wiener state.
  - Buffer growth: `SP4_PRODUCER_COUNT 47 → 69` (40 SP4 + 29 Task A13
    retrofit producers); `wiener_state_buf 141 → 207` floats;
    `producer_step_scratch_buf` grows to 69 entries.
  - Stable-layout doc-comments updated: `producer_step_scratch_buf` field
    comment, `launch_sp4_target_q_p99` slot-table comment, 5 launcher
    `wiener_offset + 2 < 141` safety comments (now `< 207`),
    `reset_sp4_wiener_state` doc + body comment, and
    `state_reset_registry.rs::sp4_wiener_state` description.
  - Test cubin reference `SP4_PRODUCER_COUNT: usize = 47` in
    `tests/sp4_producer_unit_tests.rs` updated to 69 across all 6
    occurrences.

Behavior: stationary signals converge to the same RMS at adaptive rate
(Pearl D's α* derived from per-slot signal-vs-noise variance);
non-stationary signals respond Wiener-optimally faster. Cold-path producer
with no consumer-facing change beyond the EMA mechanism — slot 96 is read
by `mag_concat_qdir`'s adaptive-scale path and stays semantically identical
(RMS of `save_h_s2`).

Tests: new `sp4_h_s2_rms_ema_writes_step_rms_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d`
unit test (`#[ignore]`-gated for GPU) drives the production kernel kernel-
direct on a constant-5.0 stationary signal of B=4 SH2=64, asserts
step_rms ≈ analytical RMS=5.0 ± 1e-4, asserts non-target scratch slots
remain 0, then exercises Pearl A bootstrap (returns step_rms directly +
seeds x_lag) and Pearl D convergence (1000 stationary observations →
x_mean within 1% of 5.0).

Per `feedback_no_atomicadd.md`, `feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`,
`feedback_no_partial_refactor.md`. Build: `cargo check -p ml --lib --tests
--offline` clean (11 pre-existing warnings, no new warnings); `cargo test
-p ml --lib sp4_wiener_ema --offline` 6/6 passing.
