feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 6.5b — hindsight synthetic injection producer wireup (atomic)
Closes Phase 6.5. The consumer-side infrastructure landed in 6.5a (val state retention + accessor); this commit adds the producer. What lands: 1. GpuReplayBuffer::insert_synthetic_via_pinned (ml-dqn) — raw-u64 dev_ptr mirror of insert_batch's scatter pipeline + per_insert_pa. Takes 7 device pointers + count; bridges from mapped-pinned scratch (in ml crate) to PER's scatter kernels. 2. HindsightScratch struct + MAX_SYNTHETIC_HINDSIGHT=32 constant in enrichment.rs. Holds 7 mapped-pinned buffers (states + next_states + actions + rewards + dones + aux_sign + aux_conf), lazy-allocated. 3. hindsight_scratch: Option<HindsightScratch> trainer field. 4. async fn inject_hindsight_experiences trainer helper: looks up val state at (window_index, bar_index) via 6.5a's read_retained_state, encodes factored action (dir × 27 + mag × 9 + 0 × 3 + 1 for Market/Normal defaults), maps optimal_direction to aux_sign (-1/0/+1), writes reward = counterfactual_pnl, done = 1.0 (terminal), aux_conf = 0.0, calls insert_synthetic_via_pinned. 5. Hook in post-enrichment block — non-fatal warn on infrastructure errors per feedback_kill_runs_on_anomaly_quickly. Design choices: - Terminal done=1: Bellman target reduces to target_q = reward. Avoids synthesizing a valid next_state (optimal counterfactual action would produce a DIFFERENT next state, unsimulable from val data alone). Pure value-target injection at (state, action). - Cap at 32 synthetic per epoch: prevents domination of PER buffer. Scratch alloc ≈ 30 KB pinned host RAM total. - Reward in pnl units: counterfactual_pnl is fraction-of-equity; training reward kernel handles natively (PopArt normalizes). Future scaling via ISV[PNL_REWARD_MAGNITUDE_EMA_INDEX=359] is a one-line follow-up if smoke surfaces gradient outliers. - Mapped-pinned bridge: ml-dqn doesn't have MappedF32Buffer (in ml crate). Raw-u64 API takes dev_ptrs directly — clean cross-crate boundary, no type duplication.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 6.5a — val state retention infrastructure (mapped-pinned, atomic)
Lays the consumer-side infrastructure for true E7 hindsight synthetic injection. Phase 6.5b will follow with the producer wireup. What lands: 1. EvalTrade.window_index + HindsightExperience.window_index fields (host-side only; set in read_per_trade_tape from the w loop var and propagated by compute_hindsight_labels). 2. GpuBacktestEvaluator.retained_states_buf — mapped-pinned MappedF32Buffer sized [max_len × n_windows × state_dim_padded]. Populated by a DtoD copy after every launch_gather_chunk inside submit_dqn_step_loop_cublas; layout matches chunked_states_buf so the copy is a single contiguous block per chunk (no transpose). 3. pub fn read_retained_state(window_idx, bar_idx) — zero-copy host read via std::ptr::read_volatile on host_ptr (no memcpy_dtoh per feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned). Mapped-pinned decision (jgrusewski review): - Initial draft used CudaSlice<f32> + memcpy_dtoh for host read, caught at review: violates feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned. - Refactored to MappedF32Buffer (cuMemHostAlloc DEVICEMAP). The DtoD copy remains (rule forbids HtoD/DtoH, not DtoD; kernel writes via dev_ptr aliasing pinned host memory). Caller must sync eval stream before read_retained_state — production path's consume_metrics_after_event already does this. Memory cost at production cfg (max_len=200_000, n_windows=5, state_dim_padded≈128): ~512 MB pinned host RAM. Substantial but feasible on L40S host (192 GB+). Files changed: - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs: +retained buffer + accessor; EvalTrade.window_index field - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: HindsightExperience .window_index field - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures. Infrastructure works without exercising it (accessor returns None until eval populates the retained buffer — graceful degradation for test scaffolds bypassing the full eval). After this commit (Phase 6.5b): - Mapped-pinned synthetic-tuple scratch on GpuReplayBuffer - New insert_synthetic_via_pinned API (raw dev_ptrs, no HtoD) - training_loop hindsight injection wireup (~300 LOC) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8 — signal-drive E2+E5 controller gains via val_sharpe_std (atomic)
Eliminates remaining hardcoded controller GAINS in enrichment.rs per pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven. Both E2 (compute_adaptive_epsilon) and E5 (compute_agreement_threshold) now derive gain magnitudes from val_sharpe_std = √ISV[VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA_INDEX=351] — same signal source as the early-stopping pipeline. Phase 2 already signal-drove the anchors; this commit closes the GAIN half. NO new ISV slots. NO kernel changes. NO ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump. Pure value-driven refactor of two enrichment functions. E2 transformation: - Bracket anchors 2.0/0.5/-0.5 → 2.0×std / 0.5×std / -0.5×std - Multiplicative gains 0.8/0.95/1.2 → (1 ± gain_mag) and (1 - 0.5×gain_mag) - gain_mag = val_sharpe_std.clamp(0.05, 0.30) (Invariant 1 carve-out) - Cold-start (var_ema==0) → pass-through E5 transformation: - Tighten step 0.9 → (1 - gain_mag) - Loosen step 1.1 → (1 + gain_mag) - Same gain_mag formula as E2 (consistency) Invariant 1 carve-outs explicitly retained (project-wide priors): - [0.05, 0.30] gain_mag stability clamp (mirrors Wiener-α floor) - [0.85, 0.98] E3 gamma support range (trading-frequency prior) - [0.5, 2.0] E4 per-branch LR multiplier (collapse/divergence guard) Files changed: - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: E2 takes new val_sharpe_var_ema arg; both E2 and E5 derive gains from val_sharpe_std; run_enrichments call-site arg added - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures. SP21 T2.2 cascade COMPLETE — all 8 atomic phases landed (1.5, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5+6, 7, 8). Remaining future work out of T2.2 scope: - Phase 6.5 (deferred): true E7 hindsight synthetic injection - Phase 7.5 (deferred): true E8 per-segment PER sampling Next operational step: dispatch L40S smoke training run.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 7 — E8 curriculum_concentration → PER alpha boost (atomic)
Wires E8's curriculum_weights distribution into the per_update_pa alpha boost composition via a new scalar signal: `compute_curriculum_concentration(weights) = 1 - entropy/log(n)`. Same pattern as Phases 5+6 (E6 winner_concentration + E7 hindsight_magnitude); all three feed the same boost_delta sum. Plan revision (mirrors Phase 5+6 pattern): - Original plan: "wire E8 (curriculum weights) → segment sampling weights." Literal interpretation requires new curriculum-segment abstraction in PER (segments don't exist — flat ring buffer today). - Resolution: signal-driven from the SHAPE of the weights distribution (entropy concentration), not the CONTENT (per-segment weighted sampling). Feeds existing per_update_pa kernel; no new segment-sampling kernel. - True per-segment PER sampling deferred to Phase 7.5 (mirrors Phase 6.5 deferral for E7's literal injection consumer). Signal semantics (compute_curriculum_concentration): - Input: Vec<f32> of E8's per-segment weights (sum=1). - Output: 1 - entropy/log(n) ∈ [0, 1]. - 0.0 = uniform (segments equally hard) - 1.0 = one segment dominates (concentrated difficulty) - Single-segment trivially → 1.0 - Cold start (empty input) → 0.0 sentinel - Zero-weight segments skipped (p log p → 0) ISV slot allocation: - CURRICULUM_CONCENTRATION_INDEX = 527 - ISV_TOTAL_DIM 527 → 528 (bus extension) - Layout fingerprint adds SLOT_527 entry Kernel change (4 lines, no ABI churn): - per_update_pa reads isv_signals[527] (already-existing arg from Phase 5+6) - curriculum_term = clamp(curric_conc, 0, 1) × 0.1 ∈ [0, 0.1] - boost_delta upper bound 0.4 → 0.5 to accommodate new term - Cold-start short-circuit predicate extended to all 3 signals Producer wireup: - enrichment.rs: new helper compute_curriculum_concentration; EnrichmentResult.curriculum_concentration field; run_enrichments populates it; log line extended - training_loop.rs: post-enrichment block writes ISV[527] Files changed: - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: +1 slot const - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump + fingerprint - crates/ml-dqn/src/per_kernels.cu: 4-line boost composition extension - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: helper + field - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: write ISV - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 5+6 combined — E6/E7 signal-driven PER alpha scaling (atomic)
Wires E6 (compute_winner_indices) + E7 (compute_hindsight_labels) outputs into the PER priority update kernel via signal-driven ISV slots. Phases 5 and 6 combined into one atomic commit per feedback_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes — both attack the same consumer kernel (per_update_pa) with non-overlapping refactor scopes (E6 contributes one ISV-mediated scalar, E7 contributes another, kernel composes both into alpha_boost). Plan revision (briefed and accepted 2026-05-11): - E6's literal Vec<usize> of val bar indices CANNOT directly bump training-PER priorities — val and training have separate coord systems (no bar-index → buffer-slot mapping). - E7's true synthetic injection requires val state retention infrastructure (n_windows × max_len × state_dim scratch buffer) — significant scope expansion deferred to Phase 6.5. - The MEANINGFUL signal in both phases is scalar aggregations of the per-trade tape: E6 winner concentration (top-decile-mean P&L / all-mean P&L) and E7 hindsight magnitude (mean |counterfactual_pnl|). Both compose multiplicatively into per_update_pa's alpha_eff. ISV slot allocation: - WINNER_CONCENTRATION_INDEX = 525 - HINDSIGHT_MAGNITUDE_INDEX = 526 - ISV_TOTAL_DIM 525 → 527 (bus extension) - Layout fingerprint adds 2 SLOT entries - Compile-time test asserts SP21_SLOT_END (527) ≤ ISV_TOTAL_DIM Signal semantics: - winner_concentration: top_decile_mean_pnl / max(all_mean_pnl, EPS). > 1.0 = top decile dominates; ≈ 1.0 = uniform; ≤ 0 → 0.0 sentinel (losing strategy, signal ill-defined). - hindsight_magnitude: mean(|counterfactual_pnl|). Higher = larger missed opportunities. - Cold start: both at 0.0 sentinel; kernel short-circuits to alpha_eff = alpha (no-op). ABI surgery (minimal): - per_update_pa: ONE new arg `const float* __restrict__ isv_signals` at end. NULL-tolerant. Reads slots 525/526 device-side, composes boost_delta (bounded [0, 0.4]), applies alpha_eff = alpha + delta. - update_priorities_gpu launcher: passes existing self.isv_signals_dev_ptr (already on struct, settable via set_isv_signals_ptr — same infra per_insert_pa uses for recovery_oversample). Zero new public API. Producer wireup: - enrichment.rs: 2 new helpers (compute_winner_concentration, compute_hindsight_magnitude); EnrichmentResult gains 2 fields (winner_concentration, hindsight_magnitude); run_enrichments populates both; log line extended. - training_loop.rs: post-enrichment block writes both ISV slots via fused.trainer().write_isv_signal_at. Files changed: - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: +2 slot consts - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump + fingerprint - crates/ml-dqn/src/per_kernels.cu: per_update_pa ABI + boost logic - crates/ml-dqn/src/gpu_replay_buffer.rs: launcher passes ISV ptr - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: 2 helpers + 2 fields + populate - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: write 2 slots - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate (alpha_eff lift on post-warmup val passes) is the upcoming smoke training run. Deferred follow-up (Phase 6.5): true E7 hindsight synthetic experience injection via val state retention + per_insert_pa extension.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 4.5 — re-instate Pearl C engagement tracking for branches (atomic)
Closes the Phase 4 deferral. The 4 DqnBranches sub-launches now write
per-block engagement counts to 4 distinct ranges in
clamp_engage_per_block_buf; pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_check
aggregates all 4 ranges into one per-group rate-deficit EMA —
semantically equivalent to the pre-Phase-4 single-launch tracking.
Design: Option (b) sub-block offsetting, mirroring the existing
Curiosity pattern exactly. SP4_ENGAGE_EXTRA_BRANCHES_SUBLAUNCHES = 3
reserves 3 extra slots beyond Curiosity's tail; sub-launch 0 (Dir)
reuses the canonical DqnBranches slot 2; sub-launches 1/2/3 (Mag,
Order, Urgency) get extra slots 11/12/13. This keeps ParamGroup at
8 entries (no taxonomy growth, no 28 new ISV slot allocations).
SP4_ENGAGE_BUF_LEN: 11 → 14 × MAX_BLOCKS_PER_ADAM (45056 → 57344
i32 slots, +12 KiB on a non-hot-path mapped-pinned buffer).
Branch-to-offset mapping:
| Sub-launch | Offset constant | Slot | Buffer offset |
|------------|------------------------------------|------|---------------|
| Dir (b0) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_DIR | 2 | 8 192 |
| Mag (b1) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_MAG | 11 | 45 056 |
| Order (b2) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_ORDER | 12 | 49 152 |
| Urgency(b3)| SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_URGENCY | 13 | 53 248 |
pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_check generalized: a `multi_range` flag
covers both Curiosity (4 sub-launches W1/b1/W2/b2) and DqnBranches
(4 sub-launches Dir/Mag/Order/Urgency). Read AND zero-out paths use
the same flag — no duplication of branching logic.
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp4_isv_slots.rs: SP4_ENGAGE_EXTRA_
BRANCHES_SUBLAUNCHES const; SP4_ENGAGE_BUF_LEN formula extended;
SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_{DIR,MAG,ORDER,URGENCY}; layout test
updated to 14× MAX_BLOCKS_PER_ADAM
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: launch_adam_update
branch sub-launches use new offsets; pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_
check aggregates DqnBranches multi-range
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry
Verification (passing):
- cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp4_isv_slots: 2/2 (engage buf layout asserts
14× + branch offsets correct)
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3

Total: 33 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate: HEALTH_DIAG emits
per-branch engagement-rate-deficit EMAs in upcoming smoke run.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 4 — wire E4 branch_lr_scale → per-branch Adam (atomic)
Wires EnrichmentResult::branch_lr_scale (E4's [f32; 4] clamped [0.5,
2.0] per-branch LR multiplier) into the DQN Adam optimizer. Splits
the existing single DqnBranches Adam sub-launch into 4 per-branch
sub-launches, each consuming its own LR scale from ISV[521..525).
Plan amendment from on-paper design:
- Plan said "via existing per-group Adam infrastructure" but per-group
operates at PARAM_GROUP granularity (8 groups, all 4 action branches
lumped into DqnBranches). E4 needs per-action-BRANCH granularity.
- Resolution: split DqnBranches sub-launch into 4 per-branch sub-launches
using the already-canonical branch byte ranges (4 param tensors per
branch: Dir [17..21), Mag [21..25), Order [25..29), Urgency [29..33)).
Coverage invariant updated to 7-way (was 4-way).
- Pearl C engagement tracking on branches DEFERRED to Phase 4.5: the
shared DqnBranches engagement counter offset would collide on writes
if 4 sub-launches use the same offset. Pearl C is a diagnostic system
(not load-bearing) so its temporary unavailability for branches is
acceptable; Trunk + Value + Trunk-extras Pearl C still active.
Phase 4.5 follow-up will re-instate via ParamGroup expansion or
sub-block offsetting scheme.
ISV slot allocation:
- BRANCH_LR_SCALE_{DIR,MAG,ORDER,URGENCY}_INDEX = 521..525
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 521 → 525 (bus extension)
- Layout fingerprint adds 4 SLOT entries
- New branch_lr_scale_index(branch_idx) accessor for clean mapping
- Cold-start floor: launcher reads ISV, floors at 1.0 if at sentinel
0.0 (per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap — first emit replaces
directly with no intermediate state)
ABI surgery:
- dqn_adam_update_kernel: ONE new arg float lr_scale at end of
signature; lr = *lr_ptr * lr_scale inside kernel
- 5 callers migrated atomically per feedback_no_partial_refactor:
- launch_adam_update (main DQN): 7 sub-launches with per-branch
lr_scale (Trunk + Value + 4 branch + Trunk-extras)
- 4 post-aux launchers (ofi_embed/aux_trunk/denoise/sel) pass 1.0
- decision_transformer Adam launch passes 1.0
Producer wireup (training_loop.rs post-enrichment block):
```rust
for (branch_idx, &scale) in result.branch_lr_scale.iter().enumerate() {
fused.trainer().write_isv_signal_at(
branch_lr_scale_index(branch_idx),
scale,
);
}
```
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: +4 slots + accessor + tests
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump +

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 3 — wire E1 q_correction → Bellman target offset (atomic)
Wires `EnrichmentResult::q_correction` (Phase 1.5+2's E1 clamp(-mean(predicted_q − pnl), ±10.0) from the per-trade tape) into the training loss kernels' Bellman target computation. Both mse_loss_batched and c51_loss_kernel::block_bellman_project_f apply q_correction as additive shift on the Bellman target — blended (1-α)·MSE + α·C51 sees identical Q-target shifts (symmetric application per feedback_no_partial_refactor).

test(sp21): T2.2 Phase 1.5 — kernel-direct GPU oracle for per-trade predicted_q
Promotes the Phase 2.5 follow-up from the plan to a load-bearing test.
Three #[ignore = "requires GPU"] tests exercise backtest_env_step_batch
directly with controlled inputs:
1. predicted_q_populated_on_close_with_real_q_values — open Long Full
at step 0 with q_values_per_window[w=0, a=Long_Full]=2.5, hold for
two bars, close Flat at step 3. Asserts the per-trade tape's
predicted_q[0] ≈ 2.5 (entry_q captured at open, persisted in
entry_q_state across holds, snapshotted before close emit).
2. predicted_q_stays_zero_when_q_values_is_null — same scenario with
q_values_per_window=NULL (single-step evaluate() semantics). The
kernel's open-time write is gated on the NULL guard, so
entry_q_state[w] stays at buffer-init 0.0 and the tape's
predicted_q is 0.0. Proves the NULL-tolerance contract is
kernel-enforced, not just launcher convention.
3. no_trades_no_predicted_q_emission — all-Flat action sequence
produces zero trades. Path-coverage check that entry_q's open
guard fires only on actual opens / reverses.
Test design:
- Kernel-direct (loads ENV_CUBIN via include_bytes!), no eval-pipeline
scaffolding (no QValueProvider, no cuBLAS forward, no chunked state
gather). Avoids the heavy mock infrastructure the plan flagged.
- Flat-market 4-bar single-window window: every OHLC=100, zero costs,
initial_capital=100k. Isolates the entry_q signal from P&L noise
so the assert-predicted_q is exact under IEEE-754 (kernel writes
the Q-value verbatim with no math).
- NULL fallback for isv_signals/conviction/exploration_scale matches
the existing single-step launcher pattern; FEATURE_DIM=4 (<41) ⇒
compute_regime_trail_scales takes the fixed-width fallback (no
feature deref needed).
Verification:
- SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --test sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test
--features cuda -- --ignored --nocapture
- 3/3 pass on RTX 3050 Ti (sm_86).
- All 4 prior SP20 GPU oracle suites still pass (25 tests).
- Total: 28 GPU oracle tests, 0 failures.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 1.5 + Phase 2 — entry_q tracking + enrichment real-tape wireup (atomic)
Closes the multi-step T2.2 work. Phase 1.5 captures entry_q (predicted
Q at trade open) on the per-trade tape; Phase 2 wires
enrichment::run_enrichments to the real GpuBacktestEvaluator
per-trade tape and deletes the fake-trade synthesizer
(extract_eval_trades_from_metrics) per feedback_no_stubs.
Plan amendment from on-paper design:
- Audit caught plan's "portfolio_state[ps+6] is unused" claim was
wrong — slot 6 is in active use as cum_return. Replaced with a
dedicated entry_q_state_buf [n_windows] separate from
portfolio_state. Doesn't touch shmem layout, gather kernel, or
model state-dim.
- E5 design question resolved as option (2): quartile-spread Sharpe
with ISV-driven significance anchor read from
ISV[VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA_INDEX=351] (per
pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven). Hardcoded 1.5σ/0.5σ
thresholds eliminated; the noise floor is the val_sharpe variance
EMA already produced per epoch by the early-stopping pipeline.
- Single-step evaluate() launcher passes NULL q_values_per_window
(forward_fn closure exposes only action indices, not Q-values);
same NULL-tolerant pattern as exploration_scale_ptr et al. The
production val pipeline (chunked path) DOES wire real Q-values.
Files (atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- backtest_env_kernel.cu: 4 new args at end of both kernels
(entry_q_state, q_values_per_window, num_actions,
per_trade_predicted_q_out); pre_entry_q snapshot + close emit +
open/reverse capture.
- gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs: entry_q_state_buf + per_trade_predicted_q_buf
allocated; both reset in reset_evaluation_state; both launchers
migrated; EvalTrade.predicted_q field added; read_per_trade_tape
populates it.
- trainer/enrichment.rs: EvalTrade is now pub(crate) use re-export
from gpu_backtest_evaluator (drops ensemble_var); E5 refactored
to quartile-spread Sharpe with ISV-driven anchor;
extract_eval_trades_from_metrics deleted; HindsightExperience
retained (Phase 6 wiring).
- trainer/training_loop.rs: enrichment block replaced with
evaluator.read_per_trade_tape() + ISV slot 351 read; val_bars /
real_trade_count / real_total_pnl / real_win_rate plumbing
dropped.
- trainer/{mod,constructor,metrics}.rs: last_val_metrics field
removed (last consumer gone — feedback_no_hiding).
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry.
Verification (passing):
- SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test (12/12)
- sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test (2/2)
- sp20_emas_compute_test (4/4)
- sp20_controllers_compute_test (7/7)
After-this scope (Phase 3-7 + Phase 8 in T2.2 multi-phase):
- E1 q_correction → ISV slot consumer
- E4 per-branch LR scaling via per-group Adam
- E6 winner indices → PER priority bumps
- E7 hindsight → replay buffer injection
- E8 curriculum weights → segment sampling
- Signal-drive remaining controller GAINS (0.9/1.1 in E5; 2.0/0.5/-0.5 in E2)

docs(sp21): T2.2 Phase 1.5 + Phase 2 continuation plan + amendment
Adds the continuation plan for SP21 T2.2 Phase 1.5 (entry_q tracking
in portfolio_state slot 6) + Phase 2 (wire enrichment to real
per-trade tape from gpu_backtest_evaluator). Self-contained plan
that a fresh session can pick up cold:
- State-at-session-start summary with all 8 prior commits
- Phase 1.5 design (storage slot, capture site, plumbing,
EvalTrade extension)
- Phase 2 design (training_loop wire-up, enrichment refactor,
E5 alternate-signal options with recommendation)
- Hard rules carried from prior session (no NULLs, no stubs,
atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor)
- Verification plan (5 GPU oracle test suites)
- Open design question (E5 alternate signal) with recommendation
- Multi-phase continuation map (Phases 3-7 + Phase 8)
- Final cascade verification (smoke run criteria)
Also amends the parent SP21 plan
(2026-05-10-sp21-train-eval-coherence-isv-defrost.md) with the
T2.2 multi-phase scope section that documents the full per-trade-tape
expansion the user committed to (option 3 — full wiring across
multiple sessions instead of the original recommended option (b)
aggregate-stats refactor).

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 1 Step B — per-trade tape buffers + readback (atomic)
Replaces Step A's NULL launcher passes with real device buffers.
Both kernel launch sites in gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs (backtest_env_step
and backtest_env_step_batch) now pass real per-trade tape pointers.
The kernel's per-trade emission block fires unconditionally on close
events — single-threaded per-window writes preserve event ordering and
enable race-free counter increment without atomicAdd.
New constants + types:
- MAX_TRADES_PER_WINDOW = 200_000 (typical eval window bar count;
per-window memory: 4 SoA buffers × 4 bytes × 200k = 3.2MB)
- pub struct EvalTrade with 5 fields: bar_index, pnl, holding_bars,
direction, magnitude. Does NOT include predicted_q / ensemble_var
— those need entry-time captures (entry_q, entry_var in portfolio
state) deferred to Phase 1.5.
New struct fields on GpuBacktestEvaluator:
- per_trade_pnl_buf: CudaSlice<f32> [n_windows × MAX_TRADES]
- per_trade_holding_bars_buf: CudaSlice<u32>
- per_trade_bar_index_buf: CudaSlice<u32>
- per_trade_dir_mag_buf: CudaSlice<u32> (packed dir/mag)
- per_trade_count_buf: CudaSlice<u32> [n_windows]
New methods:
- reset_per_trade_tape (folded into reset_evaluation_state): zeros
the count buffer at the start of each eval window. SoA value
buffers don't need zeroing — read up to count[w] only.
- pub fn read_per_trade_tape(&self) -> Result<Vec<EvalTrade>, MLError>:
reads count buffer first (cheap), early-returns empty if no trades,
else reads 4 SoA buffers (~16MB DtoH at PCIe ≈ 1ms) and flattens
window-major into chronological Vec<EvalTrade>.
Phase 2 follow-up (next commit) — wire read_per_trade_tape to the
enrichment caller in training_loop.rs:1510-1568, replacing
extract_eval_trades_from_metrics (the fake-trade synthesizer).
Phase 1.5 follow-up (if Phase 2 keeps E1+E5) — add entry_q + entry_var
to portfolio_state at trade open, extend per-trade tape with 6th/7th
SoA buffers.
Affected files:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs
(constants, struct fields, alloc, construction, 2 launcher sites,
reset_evaluation_state addition, read_per_trade_tape method)
Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests: passes (warnings only)
- GPU oracle tests: behavior preserved by construction (existing
WindowMetrics aggregator unaffected — separate kernel)

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 1 Step A — per-trade tape kernel ABI (atomic)
Extends backtest_env_step + backtest_env_step_batch kernel signatures
with 6 new NULL-tolerant args for per-trade tape emission:
- float* per_trade_pnl_out
- unsigned int* per_trade_holding_bars_out
- unsigned int* per_trade_bar_index_out
- unsigned int* per_trade_dir_mag_out (packed hi-16 dir, lo-16 mag)
- unsigned int* per_trade_count
- int max_trades_per_window
Each kernel snapshots entry_price + hold_time BEFORE the
unified_env_step_core call, then post-call mirrors
record_kelly_trade_outcome's close-detection predicate
(is_exit || is_reversal with positive entry_price + valid pre-trade
equity guards) to recompute the realized return for per-trade tape
emission. Single thread per window writes its own slot — race-free
counter increment without atomicAdd per feedback_no_atomicadd.
Step A only — Step B (host alloc + readback + enrichment integration)
follows in a separate commit. This commit is the kernel ABI extension
with NULL launchers, bit-identical to pre-Phase-1 behavior.
NULL-tolerant ABI extension is the codebase's canonical phased-rollout
pattern. Same shape as alpha_per_env / is_win_per_env additive contracts
in sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel. Per feedback_no_partial_refactor's
"consumer migrates with contract change" rule, the consumer (launcher)
MIGRATES here by passing NULL — output behavior preserved bit-identically.
Step B (next commit):
- Allocate per-trade buffers in GpuBacktestEvaluator constructor
- Pass real device pointers from launcher
- Reset per-window counter at fold start
- Host-side readback into Vec<EvalTrade>
- Wire to enrichment caller, replace extract_eval_trades_from_metrics
Affected files:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/backtest_env_kernel.cu (both kernels)
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs (both launchers)
Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests: passes (warnings only)
- GPU oracle tests: NULL-tolerance contract preserved by construction
(per_trade_count == NULL gates the entire emission block)

feat(sp21): T2.1+T2.4 — Q-value early-stop + MIN_HOLD zombies deleted
Closes two architectural-debt items from SP21 Tier 2.
T2.1 — check_early_stopping(avg_q_value) deleted entirely:
- Combined two failed mechanisms: (a) Q-value floor — not a learning
signal (high Q can mean edge OR value explosion, indistinguishable);
(b) Sharpe plateau with hardcoded `improvement < 0.01` threshold,
structurally meaningless against typical val-sharpe deltas O(1-10).
- Both subsumed by the SP21 T1.1a+T1.1b val-loss patience early-stop
with signal-driven min_delta from VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA.
- Legacy `old_should_stop` branch + function body deleted.
- Per feedback_no_legacy_aliases.
T2.4 — MIN_HOLD_TARGET / MIN_HOLD_PENALTY_MAX #defines deleted:
- Investigation: macros referenced ONLY in comments and the defining
line itself — no actual code use. The SP12 v3 production callers
were removed in SP20 Phase 2 Task 2.2.
- HEALTH_DIAG line at training_loop.rs:5159 updated to drop the dead
30.0/3.0 literals.
- Scope boundary: MIN_HOLD_TEMPERATURE_* chain is NOT a zombie —
actively wired (kernel producer + SP16 controller consumer).
- Per feedback_no_legacy_aliases.
T2.5 — PER hyperparams disposition (no code change):
- per_alpha=0.6, per_beta_start=0.6 are paper-canonical (Schaul et al.).
Per the SP21 plan recommendation, kept fixed for SP21. Filed for a
separate SP if later identified as a leverage point.
Affected files:
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/metrics.rs:435-488
(check_early_stopping body deleted)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs (7253 caller +

- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/state_layout.cuh:317-318

T1.4 — backtracking thresholds signal-driven:
- Three hardcoded thresholds in run_backtracking_epoch_end replaced
with sigma = sqrt(ISV[VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA_INDEX=351]) derivatives:
a) Save trigger (improvement_rate > 0.01) → > 0.5σ.
The 0.01 fired on every epoch (any tiny change > 0.01);
0.5σ requires a meaningful move (typical sigma O(1-10)).
b) Plateau-detection frozen check (abs(delta) < 0.01) → < 0.5σ.
The 0.01 ~never fired; 0.5σ correctly identifies stagnation.
c) Route acceptance (>= min_improvement_rate=0.1) → >= 1.5σ.
Stricter than save-trigger as designed.
- BacktrackingState::min_improvement_rate field deleted — replaced
by per-call signal-driven computation. Floor 0.5 covers cold-start
before var_ema bootstraps from sentinel per
pearl_blend_formulas_must_have_permanent_floor.
- Per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds + feedback_adaptive_not_tuned.

feat(sp21): T1.1a+T1.1b+T2.3 — signal-driven early-stopping (atomic)
Closes the patience-based early-stopping bug that ran xmd6b 30 epochs
past peak val performance (epoch 2: val_Sharpe=90, total_pnl=0.44 →
epoch 30: val_Sharpe=26, total_pnl=0.16) — a 70% loss of alpha to
training-induced overfitting.
Two intertwined bugs, fixed atomically:
T1.1a (wrong-source) at training_loop.rs:7234:
- was: self.early_stopping.should_stop(-log_output.epoch_sharpe, epoch)
reading the TRAINING ROLLOUT Sharpe (Thompson-noisy, in-sample,
oscillates even when the model is frozen)
- now: self.early_stopping.should_stop(log_output.val_loss, min_delta, epoch)
reading the deterministic-backtest val_loss
- The comment 5733 lines earlier (line 1499) explicitly says "Use
val_Sharpe (deterministic backtest), NOT epoch_sharpe" — patience
path was the inconsistency, backtracking already honored it.
T1.1b (hardcoded threshold) in early_stopping.rs:
- was: EarlyStopping::new(patience, min_delta) with min_delta=0.001
constructor-set, struct field, structurally meaningless
against the val_loss noise floor (typical val_sharpe deltas
are O(1-10), so 0.001 essentially never gates)
- now: EarlyStopping::new(patience), should_stop(val_loss, min_delta,
epoch) with min_delta computed per-call from
ISV[VAL_SHARPE_VAR_EMA_INDEX=351] as
sqrt(var_ema).max(0.5)
- Floor 0.5 covers cold-start before var_ema bootstraps from sentinel
per pearl_blend_formulas_must_have_permanent_floor.
- Per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds + feedback_adaptive_not_tuned.
T2.3 (test signature update) absorbed:
- 6 existing unit tests migrated to new should_stop signature.
- 1 NEW test (test_min_delta_can_change_per_call) verifying per-call
threshold change works correctly.
- EarlyStopping::min_delta struct field deleted.
- Atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor.
Affected files:
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/early_stopping.rs (struct + tests)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/constructor.rs (new() arg)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs (call site)
Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests: passes
- cargo test -p ml --lib early_stopping: 8/8 pass
Behavioral expectation post-fix: xmd6b-shape runs (val_Sharpe rising
31→90 epochs 0-2, declining 90→26 epochs 3-30) will trigger early-stop
near the peak. With patience=5 and var_ema bootstrapping by epoch 2-3,
the controller detects "no improvement of ≥ 1σ for 5 consecutive
epochs" by ~epoch 7-8 and stops, saving ~22 epochs of overfitting.

feat(sp21): T3.3 ISV defrost — hold_reward_ema (atomic Phase 3.2 wireup)
Closes the Phase 3.2 forward-reference loop in the SP20 aggregator.
Previously `out_inputs->per_bar_hold_reward = 0.0f` was hardcoded; the
per-bar Hold opportunity-cost producer existed
(experience_kernels.cu:3823 — `per_bar_opp_cost = -aux_conf × cost_scale`)
and wrote to `hold_baseline_buffer` and `r_micro` directly, but never
reached HOLD_REWARD_EMA. Result: HOLD_REWARD_EMA frozen at sentinel 0.0
across all observed epochs; the SP20 reward centering loop
(`r_micro += per_bar_opp_cost - HOLD_REWARD_EMA`) stayed uncentered,
biasing the policy's reward signal away from zero-mean.
T3.3 wireup mirrors the T2.2 alpha refactor: a per-env scratch buffer
that the producer writes at every step (alongside the existing
`hold_baseline_buffer` write), and the aggregator reads at the same
step. Sums opp_cost over Hold-direction envs only; emits the mean as
`per_bar_hold_reward`. The HOLD_REWARD_EMA's gate (`hold_fraction > 0.5f`
from T3.2) preserves the strict-majority semantic from before.
Atomic across producer site, kernel signature, aggregator, launcher,
collector, and tests (per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- experience_kernels.cu — new `float* per_bar_opp_cost_per_env`
kernel arg, NULL-tolerant write at line ~3823.
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu — new arg, 6th shmem stripe
(`sh_opp_cost_sum`), per-thread Hold-gated accumulation, tree
reduction extended to 6 stripes, output `per_bar_hold_reward =
opp_cost_sum / hold_count` when hold_count > 0 else 0.
- sp20_aggregate_inputs.rs — launcher signature, dynamic_shmem_bytes
5→6 stripes, doc table, internal test.
- gpu_experience_collector.rs — new `per_bar_opp_cost_per_env:
CudaSlice<f32>` field, alloc, struct construction, kernel-arg
pass at both experience_env_step and sp20_aggregate_inputs
launches (raw_ptr).
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test.rs — helper renamed
`run_kernel_with_is_win_and_opp_cost`, 4 existing sites pass
NULL, 2 NEW oracle tests verifying real producer + NULL fallback.
- sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test.rs — NULL fallback at the wireup site;
HOLD_REWARD_EMA-stays-at-zero assertion remains valid.
Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests: passes (warnings only)
- cargo test -p ml --test sp20_aggregate_inputs_test --features cuda
-- --ignored: 12/12 GPU oracle tests pass on RTX 3050 Ti, including
both new T3.3 tests (per_bar_hold_reward_means_over_hold_envs_only,
null_per_bar_opp_cost_emits_zero).
- cargo test -p ml --test sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test --features cuda
-- --ignored: 2/2 pass under the new NULL-tolerant contract.

feat(sp21): T3.1+T3.2 ISV defrost — wr_ema + hold_pct_ema (atomic)
SP21 Tier-3 foundation: defrost two production-frozen ISV slots that
pinned at 0 across every observed training epoch (d7bj7, xmd6b). Both
bugs in the same aggregator kernel, same structural shape: per-step
binary majority-vote indicators feeding fractional EMAs.
T3.1 — WR_EMA defrost (sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu):
- was: is_win_out = (2 * wins_count >= closed_count) ? 1 : 0
binary "majority won this step" indicator
- now: win_fraction_out = (float)wins_count / (float)closed_count
fractional in [0, 1]
- With actual val WR≈0.46, the binary signal was 0 most of the time,
pinning WR_EMA at 0 across 30+ epochs in xmd6b. EMA now converges
to population win rate.
T3.2 — HOLD_PCT_EMA defrost (same kernel, same pattern):
- was: action_is_hold_out = (hold_count * 2 > n_envs) ? 1 : 0
strict-majority indicator
- now: hold_fraction_out = (float)hold_count / (float)n_envs
- Cascade: HOLD_COST_SCALE controller compared hold_pct_ema=0 to
tgt±0.05, always saw < lower, ramped × 0.95 → clamped at floor
0.01 (the hold_cost_scale=0.0100 observation in d7bj7 logs).
T3.5 expected to cascade-fix in next training run.
- HOLD_REWARD_EMA gate preserves strict-majority semantic via
hold_fraction > 0.5f test in the consumer kernel.
Atomic across struct fields, kernel logic, Rust mirror, byte
serialization, doc tables, and 4 test files (per
feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu (struct + 2 computations)
- sp20_emas_compute_kernel.cu (struct + reader + gate)
- sp20_aggregate_inputs.rs (doc table)
- sp20_emas_compute.rs (Rust struct + serialize + 3 tests)
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test.rs (reader sig + 4 test assertions)
- sp20_emas_compute_test.rs (5 struct literal updates)
- sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test.rs (HOLD_PCT_EMA expected 0.625)
Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --tests: passes (warnings only)
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp20_emas: 6/6 unit tests pass
Pearl candidate: binary-majority aggregator over a fractional
underlying signal cannot serve as input to a fractional-target EMA.

fix(argo-train): apply train-template.yaml before single-job submission
The multi-seed path already does `kubectl apply` before `argo submit`, so cluster template stays in sync with source. The single-job path used `argo submit --from=wftmpl/train` directly, expecting the cluster's template to already match — which silently drifts when defaults change. Caused workflow train-jpxvn (2026-05-10) to dispatch with stale imbalance-bar-threshold=0.5 default (the cluster's old value) when the source had been bumped to 20.0. Triggered near-OOM in feature extraction. One-line fix: apply the template before submission. Mirrors what multi-seed already does. No behavior change for users who pass explicit flags; just makes implicit defaults track source. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

experiment(sp20-aux-h-fixed): force H=30 to test bootstrap failure hypothesis
Throwaway diagnostic edit on aux_horizon_update_kernel.cu. Tests whether the adaptive horizon's self-defeating loop (WR=50% → H~2 → noise horizon → 53.5% acc → WR=50%) is the actual bottleneck. If aux_dir_acc rises to 58%+ at fixed H=30, bootstrap failure confirmed and the proper fix is constraint-based (min hold time during exploration). Audit-doc updated. DO NOT merge to mainline — branch is throwaway after the experiment. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

docs(sp20): consolidate Phase 5 audit-doc + close-out
Replaces the per-commit audit-doc entries from commits 1-3 with a single
consolidated Phase 5 close-out entry. The consolidated entry covers:
- The full design rationale: gate the REWARD (not the target); avoids
needing q_mean_a entirely. At low aux confidence, r_used → 0 ⇒
Bellman target collapses to gamma * Q(s', a').
- All 5 components: trainer buffer, FusedTrainerCtx accessor, training
loop wire-up, kernel signature + gate, launcher arg.
- NULL-tolerance contract: aux_conf_at_state == NULL OR isv_signals
== NULL ⇒ gate = 1.0 (identity).
- Default-state semantics: alloc_zeros 0.0 sentinel → gate ≈ 0.12 →
reward mostly suppressed pre-population (graceful degradation).
- reward_bias interaction (composes cleanly — gate damps reward
pre-projection, reward_bias lifts target Q-mean per-branch).
- Plan accuracy errata: the user spec's "add aux_conf_at_state_buf
field to GpuBatch struct" was unnecessary — GpuBatch doesn't
carry the SP13 B1.1b aux_sign_labels_ptr either; both follow the
"trainer-only buffer + direct-gather" pattern.
- Test coverage: 3 CPU math tests + 1 GPU behavioral integration test.
- Confidence: medium-high that the gate fires correctly on real data;
end-to-end smoke validation deferred (no smokes dispatched per
controller instruction).

feat(sp20): c51_loss launcher aux_conf arg + Phase 5 gate tests
Threads `self.aux_conf_at_state_buf` into the `c51_loss_batched` launch
in `GpuDqnTrainer::launch_c51_loss`. Position matches the kernel's
appended trailing arg from the previous commit.
Tests added in `crates/ml-dqn/src/gpu_replay_buffer.rs::tests`:
- `aux_gate_high_confidence_passes_full_target` (CPU pure-math):
gate(aux_conf=0.5, threshold=0.10, temp=0.05) > 0.99 proves
high-confidence reward pass-through.
- `aux_gate_low_confidence_attenuates_reward` (CPU pure-math):
gate(aux_conf=0.02, threshold=0.10, temp=0.05) < 0.20 proves
the uncertain-state neutralizer semantic.
- `aux_gate_temp_floor_keeps_gate_finite` (CPU pure-math):
sweeps {temp, aux_conf, threshold} and asserts finite gate ∈ [0,1]
across the ISV-controllable parameter range — proves the
fmaxf(temp, 1e-3) floor keeps the kernel numerically safe.
- `aux_conf_direct_to_trainer_gather_populates_destination` (GPU
behavioral): wires a fresh CudaSlice<f32> as the trainer
destination, inserts 8 transitions with strictly-positive distinct
aux_conf values, samples 1, asserts the trainer destination
buffer post-sample holds a value from the inserted set (NOT the
alloc_zeros sentinel) — proves the direct-gather wiring actually
populates the trainer buffer with non-trivial data.
All 3 CPU math tests + 1 GPU integration test pass on RTX 3050.

feat(sp20): c51_loss_batched aux_conf_at_state reward gate
Adds the Phase 5 consumer kernel-side gate. New kernel arg `const float* __restrict__ aux_conf_at_state` appended to `c51_loss_batched`'s signature. Gate computation runs once per sample at the kernel-entry reward-setup site (after the #27 ensemble- disagreement adjustment), then the gated `reward` propagates through every branch's `block_bellman_project_f` call without per-branch changes. Formula: gate = sigmoid((aux_conf - threshold) / temp) reward = gate * reward where: threshold = ISV[AUX_CONF_THRESHOLD_INDEX=518] temp = max(ISV[AUX_GATE_TEMP_INDEX=519], 1e-3) Mathematical interpretation: at low aux confidence (gate→0), `r_used → 0`, so the Bellman target becomes `gamma * Q(s', a')`. The Q value at the current state collapses toward `gamma * Q(s', a')` — model gets no reward feedback on uncertain transitions. Effectively "don't update Q on uncertain transitions" — the "uncertain-state neutralizer" semantic from the Phase 3 Task 3.4 audit doc spec §4.4. NULL-tolerant: `aux_conf_at_state == NULL` OR `isv_signals == NULL` ⇒ gate skipped (identity, no-op = pre-Phase-5 behaviour). Test scaffolds without a wired aux head still work. Out of scope: `iqn_dual_head_kernel.cu` — IQN is the auxiliary loss, C51 is production. Gating IQN is more complexity for marginal gain.

feat(sp20): allocate trainer aux_conf_at_state_buf + wire PER direct-gather
Phase 5 plumbing — consumer-side wire-up. Allocates `aux_conf_at_state_buf: CudaSlice<f32>` ([batch_size]) on `GpuDqnTrainer`, exposes the raw_ptr via `aux_conf_at_state_buf_ptr()` and the `FusedTrainerCtx` delegating accessor `trainer_aux_conf_at_state_buf_ptr()`, and invokes `GpuReplayBuffer::set_trainer_aux_conf_ptr` at both fused_ctx init sites in training_loop.rs (init + re-init, atomic per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`). The PER `gather_f32_scalar` now writes the SAMPLED bar's per-batch aux_conf directly into the trainer's f32 buffer on every step — same direct-to-trainer pattern as the SP13 B1.1b `aux_nb_label_buf` (i32) wire-up immediately above the new call. The c51_loss_batched reward gate (lands in the next commit) reads this buffer to compute `gate = sigmoid((aux_conf - ISV[AUX_CONF_THRESHOLD]) / ISV[AUX_GATE_TEMP])` and applies `r_used = gate * reward` at the Bellman projection. `alloc_zeros` cold-start: 0.0 sentinel → at threshold ≈ 0.10 and temp ≈ 0.05 the gate is `sigmoid(-2) ≈ 0.12` → reward is mostly suppressed pre-population. This is the "graceful degradation" semantic from the Phase 3 Task 3.4 audit doc spec §4.4. Once PER's direct-gather populates from the producer ring on the first sample step, the per-bar aux_conf values drive the gate as designed.

L40S (48GB) and H100 (80GB) have plenty of headroom; the 2GB cap was a conservative leftover that tripped on workflow zgjgc with 17.8M imbalance bars (3.2GB). 8GB budget leaves ~28GB free on L40S after model + activations + workspace.

feat(sp20): parallelise imbalance-bar OHLCV reduction via two-pass decomposition
Bottleneck B of two: replaces the sequential `ImbalanceBarSampler` walk
in `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` with a two-pass parallel decomposition.
Bit-identical to sequential — verified by 6/6 passing tests in
`crates/ml-features/tests/imbalance_bars_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs` at
both dense (T=20, ~23k bars) and sparse (T=500, ~300 bars) emission
regimes, exact 0.0 diff on every f64 field.
Why two-pass (NOT time-bucket sharding)
=======================================
Time-bucket sharding (the SP20 OFI pattern in
`compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel`) bit-equates to sequential because OFI
features derive from BOUNDED rolling windows (VPIN ≤50, Kyle ≤100,
trade-imb ≤100, OFI-stats ≤300). After ≥window-size warmup updates,
two rolling buffers started from different initial states converge
bit-identically.
`ImbalanceBarSampler` is fundamentally different: its `cumulative_imbalance`
is a path integral that resets only when crossing ±threshold. There is
NO bounded-lookback window. Two replays of the same trade tape starting
from different cum_imb offsets emit at DIFFERENT trade indices, and the
phase offset is NOT guaranteed to vanish at any future trade — even
after many emissions, a bounded phase difference can persist
indefinitely. An earlier time-bucket-sharded prototype with WARMUP=10000
trades passed K=4/K=8 at threshold=20 (dense emissions, ~30 emissions
per shard's warmup window) but FAILED at threshold=500 with a 1-bar
count drift (golden=303, parallel=304) — exactly the kind of phase-
offset divergence predicted by the path-integral analysis.
Two-pass decomposition
======================
Pass 1 (sequential, lightweight): walk the trade tape ONCE tracking only
cum_imb, prev_price, last_direction. Record the trade index of every
emission-triggering trade as the end of a segment. No OHLCV state, no
Vec<OHLCVBar> allocation, no per-trade conditional bar construction.
O(N) simple arithmetic — for 50k-2M trades it runs in 1-15ms.
Pass 2 (parallel rayon): each emission segment [boundary[i-1]+1,
boundary[i]] produces exactly one bar via independent OHLCV reduction
over its trade slice. Segments are fully independent; `par_iter()` over
segment ranges is trivially correct.
Bit-equivalence guarantee
=========================
Pass 1 mirrors `ImbalanceBarSampler::update` arithmetic verbatim:
- zero-volume early-return (alternative_bars.rs:484-486)
- direction tie-break (alternative_bars.rs:495-506)
- cum_imb update (alternative_bars.rs:508-510)
- emission threshold check (alternative_bars.rs:522-523)
- prev_price/last_direction kept across emissions (reset() at :558-566)
- NO trailing-partial-bar flush (matches sequential exactly)
Pass 2's per-segment OHLCV reduction matches the sampler's per-bar OHLCV
update verbatim: open = first non-zero-volume trade in segment, close =
last non-zero-volume trade, high/low = max/min over non-zero-volume
trades, volume = sum, timestamp = open's timestamp.
Performance (release-mode bench, 16-thread rayon pool)
======================================================
n=100k: seq=1.39ms, par=1.88ms, speedup=0.74x (rayon overhead dominates)
n=500k: seq=8.04ms, par=3.35ms, speedup=2.40x
n=2M: seq=27.59ms, par=12.39ms, speedup=2.23x
Speedup is bounded by Pass 1 (sequential, ~5-7ms at 2M trades) since
Pass 2 (parallel, ~2-3ms at 2M trades on 16 threads) is ~3x faster
than Pass 1's sequential floor. At production scale (50k-500k trades
per `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` call) we get 2-2.4x speedup over the
all-sequential baseline.
The `min_bars_per_task` cutoff falls back to a sequential Pass 2 when
segment count < 256 (the rayon spawn overhead exceeds the parallel
benefit). Tunable via the second function arg.
Files changed
=============
- crates/ml-features/src/alternative_bars.rs (+1 -1):
derive `Clone` on `ImbalanceBarSampler` for parallel-shard use
(carried through this commit even though Pass 1's hand-rolled walk
in `mbp10_loader.rs` doesn't need it — keeps the type clonable for
future test/bench infrastructure).
- crates/ml-features/src/lib.rs (+3 -2):
re-export `imbalance_bars_parallel`, `imbalance_bars_sequential`,
`DEFAULT_IMBALANCE_BAR_MIN_BARS_PER_TASK`.
- crates/ml-features/src/mbp10_loader.rs (+253 -15):
new `imbalance_bars_parallel`, `imbalance_bars_sequential`,
`DEFAULT_IMBALANCE_BAR_MIN_BARS_PER_TASK` const. Replace the inline
sampler-walk loop in `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` with a call into
`imbalance_bars_parallel`. Module note explains why time-bucket
sharding doesn't apply.
- crates/ml-features/tests/imbalance_bars_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs
(+272 NEW): hermetic synthetic-trade bit-equivalence tests at:
* default cutoff (par_iter Pass 2)
* forced par_iter (min_bars_per_task=1)
* forced sequential Pass 2 (min_bars_per_task=usize::MAX)
* empty input
* small input (Pass 2 below par cutoff)
* high-threshold sparse emissions (the case that broke the
time-bucket sharding prototype). All pass exact 0.0 diff.
Also note: 293/293 ml-features lib tests pass (no regression).

feat(sp20): parallelise per-file MBP-10 trade extraction in mbp10_to_imbalance_bars
Bottleneck A of two: the loop in `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` that calls `extract_trades_from_dbn_file` + `filter_front_month_mbp10` per file ran serially across the 9 quarterly DBN files. Each file is independent (different contract universe per quarter), the front-month filter is purely intra-file, and the final `all_trades.sort_by(|a, b| timestamp)` re-sequences across files — so reduce order across files is irrelevant to correctness. Switched the loop to `dbn_files.par_iter().filter_map(...).collect()`, mirroring the trades_loader-side pattern in `precompute_features.rs:551-565`. Per-file logging (raw count → filtered front-month count) preserved verbatim. On the `ci-compile-cpu` 28-core node decoding 9 .dbn.zst files, the file-decoder/zstd-decompress phase should drop from ~9× single-file latency to ~1× — bounded by the slowest single file. This is the trivial half of the parallelisation. Bottleneck B (the sequential `ImbalanceBarSampler` pass over the concatenated trade list) follows in the next commit with time-bucket sharding + warmup overlap + bit-equivalence test, mirroring the SP20 OFI pattern at `crates/ml-features/src/ofi_calculator.rs::compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel`. Build: `cargo check -p ml-features` clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(sp20): parallelise per-bar OFI extraction via time-bucket sharding
Replaces the sequential per-bar OFI loop in
`crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs:578-734` with a call into a
new `ml-features` library function that shards bars across CPU cores
with warmup overlap. On `ci-compile-cpu` (28 cores), large fxcache
runs (~50-200k bars) get a meaningful speedup; small datasets (<10k
bars) may run slightly slower due to amortisation cost — see test
output below.
Strategy: time-bucket sharding with warmup overlap
- Partition core bars [0, n) into K contiguous shards (K = rayon
current threads, or `OFI_SHARD_COUNT` env override).
- For each shard [start_k, end_k):
1. Construct a fresh `OFICalculator`.
2. Replay the `WARMUP_BARS = 5000` preceding bars (or fewer if
start_k < 5000) by feeding trades + calling
`calculate(last_snap)` and DISCARDING outputs. This populates
VPIN (50 buckets × 50k contracts), Kyle (100 trades),
trade-imbalance (100 trades), OFI-stats (300 snapshots), and
prev_snapshot to bit-identical sequential-walk state.
3. Process core bars and emit ofi_per_bar rows.
- Concatenate shard outputs in order, then run post-loop passes
(lag-1 deltas, log_bar_duration) over the full Vec — both are pure
functions of the concatenated output / bar timestamps and have no
shard interaction.
Bit-equivalence guarantee
=========================
Each shard's warmup phase replays the same prefix of trades+snapshots
into a freshly initialised local `OFICalculator`. Once the warmup has
covered enough bars to fully populate every rolling window AND any
post-warmup-window state has been carried forward, the shard's
calculator state at the warmup→core boundary is bit-identical to the
sequential walk. `MicrostructureState` is constructed fresh per-bar
(no cross-bar state) so its semantics are unchanged.
Verified by `crates/ml-features/tests/ofi_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs`:
| test | result | max abs diff |
|-------------------------------------------------|--------|--------------|
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k4 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k8 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_k1_is_sequential | pass | exactly 0 |
| parallel_handles_no_trades | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_speedup_smoke (ignored, bench-shaped) | n/a | n/a |
Speedup smoke (release, K=8, synthetic data):
n=8000 bars : seq=16.36ms par=18.98ms speedup=0.86x
n=30000 bars: seq=50.89ms par=29.56ms speedup=1.72x
n=80000 bars: seq=142.12ms par=55.13ms speedup=2.58x
Speedup grows with N because the 5000-bar warmup overhead
amortises. At production scale (50-200k bars × ~3 snap/bar × ~5
trades/bar) real workloads will see closer to K-1.x speedup. Small
datasets (<10k) regress slightly — by design; warmup must be ≥
rolling-window depth for bit-equivalence and we will not relax that
for marginal wall-clock gains on tiny inputs.
Diff
====
- `crates/ml-features/src/ofi_calculator.rs` (+356 LOC):
`compute_ofi_per_bar_sequential` (reference impl),
`compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel` (rayon par_iter over shard ranges),
`process_one_bar` (shared per-bar body — single source of truth
for the loop semantics, no duplication between paths),
`apply_post_loop_passes`, `PerBarOfiInputs` struct,
`PER_BAR_OFI_DIM=32` const, `DEFAULT_OFI_PARALLEL_WARMUP_BARS=5000`
const.
- `crates/ml-features/src/lib.rs` (+4 LOC): re-export new public API.
- `crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs` (-132 +35 LOC): replace
the inline 132-line OFI loop with a call to
`compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel`. Reads `OFI_SHARD_COUNT` env or
falls back to `rayon::current_num_threads()`.
- `crates/ml-features/tests/ofi_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs` (+~280 LOC,
new): synthetic-data bit-equivalence tests at K=4, K=8, K=1, and
no-trades.
Memory budget per shard: one cloned `OFICalculator` (≤10 MB carrying
the rolling-window state). K=8 ≈ 80 MB extra. Manageable on the 28-core
CPU node.
No `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` / `filter_front_month_mbp10` changes
(out of scope; those were just fixed and a separate smoke is running).
No audit-doc update required: changes are confined to ml-features +
ml/examples and do not touch crates/ml/src/(cuda_pipeline|trainers/dqn)/
which is the trigger scope for the Invariant-7 audit-doc check.

feat(sp20): derive Clone on OFICalculator + 4 inner state structs
Pre-req for sp20 parallel OFI extraction (next commit). Time-bucket sharding with warmup overlap requires each shard to own a deep-cloned calculator so the warmup walk replays trades+snapshots into shard-local rolling-window state without contention. State that needs Clone: - OFICalculator (top-level; Option<Mbp10Snapshot> + 5 sub-state fields) - VPINCalculator (VecDeque<f64> signed-volume buckets, max 50) - KyleLambdaCalculator (2x VecDeque<f64>, max 100 each) - TradeImbalanceTracker (4 primitives) - OFIStats (VecDeque<f64>, max 300) All field types already implement Clone (Mbp10Snapshot derives Clone in data/providers/databento/mbp10.rs:72; VecDeque<f64> + primitives are trivially Clone). Pure-derive change, zero behavioral diff. Verified via SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml-features (clean build, 42s). No audit-doc update required: changes are confined to ml-features and do not touch crates/ml/src/(cuda_pipeline|trainers/dqn)/ which is the trigger scope for the Invariant-7 audit-doc check. |

fix(sp20): default imbalance_bar_threshold 0.5/2.5 → 20 (3 files atomic)
At threshold=0.5 the sampler produced 209M bars from 209M trade ticks (1:1 ratio, essentially per-tick) on workflow f5wnd today. Feature extraction hit 54Gi/56Gi memory limit — near OOM. The default was wrong: with EWMA bypassed (per |

fix(mbp10): filter front-month per file in mbp10_to_imbalance_bars
Pre-fix: mbp10_to_imbalance_bars loaded ALL trades from MBP-10 .dbn files
without filtering by instrument_id, then fed them through ImbalanceBarSampler.
When the dominant ES contract rolls over (ESZ24 → ESH25 → ESM25), price
jumps appear at every rollover, failing the precompute_features.rs:371-376
price-continuity gate (3.5% jump rate vs 1% threshold). First observed on
workflow train-multi-seed-crb2k yesterday.
Fix: mirror the per-file front-month pattern from precompute_features.rs:347-365
(which uses filter_front_month on DbnTrade slices). Same logic applied to
Mbp10Trade — but Mbp10Trade didn't carry instrument_id, so:
- Added `instrument_id: u32` field to Mbp10Trade.
- Populated from `mbp10.hd.instrument_id` in extract_trades_from_dbn_file
(the production extraction path).
- Defaulted to 0 in extract_trades_from_snapshots (snapshot-diff path used by
tests; no per-record id available; backward-compatible — filter is a no-op
when all ids are 0).
- New filter_front_month_mbp10() helper that mirrors trades_loader's
filter_front_month exactly, just operating on Mbp10Trade.
- mbp10_to_imbalance_bars now applies filter_front_month_mbp10 per-file
in the extraction loop, identical to precompute_features.rs:347-365.
Compiles clean. Replaces tracing::debug! with tracing::info! at the per-file
log site to make the raw-vs-filtered count visible at production INFO level.
