71eab9a253 fix(tests): gpu_backtest_validation action constants — Long100 is 72, not 4
Two `gpu_backtest_validation` tests were failing with bit-identical
deterministic values for 2+ months: `test_always_long_on_downtrend`
(expected negative PnL, got +0.00023627281) and
`test_multiple_windows_produce_results` (uptrend < downtrend instead
of > ).

Root cause: SP21 Phase 8.5 (2026-05-12) wired the factored 4-3-3-3
action decoder into the eval (`backtest_state_gather` + env_step),
but the test's hardcoded `constant_action_model(4, ...)` integer
literal wasn't migrated. Pre-Phase-8.5 the eval used a flat
4-action enum where `4` reportedly meant Long100; the factored
decoder now interprets `4` as:

  decode_direction_4b(4, b1=3, b2=3, b3=3) = 4 / 27 = 0 = DIR_SHORT
  decode_magnitude_4b(4, b1=3, b2=3, b3=3) = (4/9) % 3 = 0 = MAG_QUARTER

So the test was running Short-Quarter (-0.25 position) on the trend
fixtures. On random-walk synthetic prices with drift ±0.001 vs σ=0.01
noise per bar, the 24-step eval window has S/N ≈ 0.49 — specific
seeds can produce net-against-drift trajectories, making the actual
short-quarter PnL small but deterministic, with sign flipped relative
to test intent.

Fix: change `constant_action_model(4, ...)` → `constant_action_model(72, ...)`
in the 2 failing tests. Action 72 = dir=LONG (2) * 27 + mag=FULL (2)
* 9 + 0 + 0 — the actual "Long100" under 4-3-3-3 factoring. Both
tests now pass; no regressions on the 4 previously-passing tests.

Verification
────────────
- gpu_backtest_validation pre-fix: 4 passed, 2 failed
- gpu_backtest_validation post-fix: 6 passed, 0 failed

Out of scope for this commit (follow-up audit needed)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Three other tests in the same file have the same stale `4` constant
with misleading "Always Long100" comments, but currently pass
incidentally:

- `test_always_long_on_uptrend` (line 218): asserts `total_pnl > 0`.
  Currently passes BY ACCIDENT — action=4 (Short-Quarter) on seed-42's
  net-down 24-bar trajectory produces +PnL, satisfying the assertion
  for the wrong reason. Fixing to action=72 alone would break this
  test (true Long100 on seed-42's net-down trajectory is negative);
  the test needs BOTH the action fix AND a seed/window change so the
  "uptrend" trajectory actually trends up over the eval window
  (e.g., 250-bar window or drift=0.01).
- `test_extended_metrics_populated` (line 465) and
  `test_active_model_records_trades` (line 524): assertions are
  direction-agnostic (VaR/CVaR/Calmar/Omega NaN-check + CVaR≤VaR;
  total_trades > 0 + win_rate range), so they pass legitimately
  under whatever-direction action=4 produces. The "Long100" comments
  are misleading but the tests are correctly covering their stated
  behavior.

A separate audit-and-fix pass should address all three at once:
either correct the action constants + adjust seed/window to ensure
each test's named trajectory direction is statistically reliable,
or introduce a named constant (e.g., LONG100_ACTION) and helper to
prevent the same drift recurring.

f9192f70a5 feat(sp22): H6 Phase 2 — recenter state[121] to [-1, +1] (atomic)
Phase 1 post-mortem traced an actual `pearl_first_observation_bootstrap`
violation in my own H6 implementation: state slot 121 wrote
`aux_softmax[env, 1] = p_up ∈ [0, 1]` with sentinel 0.5, but every
OTHER state slot uses 0 as the "no signal" baseline (zero-padding,
feature_mask, ofi-missing, mtf-missing). The encoder had to learn TWO
things about slot 121 (directional mapping + non-zero bias offset)
instead of one. Phase 2 fixes the encoding to match the project
convention BEFORE declaring H6 fully falsified.

Mechanism change
────────────────
- `aux_softmax_to_per_env_kernel.cu` writes `2*p_up - 1 ∈ [-1, +1]`
  instead of `p_up`. Still structurally bounded (softmax components
  in [0, 1] sum to 1).
- Cold-start + FoldReset sentinel: 0.5 → 0.0 via the same pure-GPU
  `fill_f32` path. No HtoD per
  `feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned`.
- NULL-fallback in 3 state-gather kernels (training +
  backtest-per-step + backtest-chunk): 0.5f → 0.0f.
- Constant + device-function comment updates to document the
  recentered encoding.

Atomic per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`: the encoding contract
spans 5 source files; partial migration produces inconsistent slot
semantics between training and eval.

Verification gates (all clean)
──────────────────────────────
- cargo check -p ml --features cuda: 0 errors, 21 pre-existing warnings
  (parity with Phase 1 baseline)
- gpu_backtest_validation: 4/4 expected-passing tests still pass; 2
  pre-existing PnL-assertion failures bit-identical to Phase 1
  (confirms recentering does not perturb scripted-policy paths)
- compute-sanitizer --tool=memcheck: ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors

Smoke dispatch deferred pending an orthogonal investigation into the
2 pre-existing gpu_backtest_validation failures (stale action
constants in the tests; addressed in a follow-up commit, NOT a
Phase 2 regression).

Verdict criteria (per spec, evaluated after smoke)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
- WR > 50.5% within 3 epochs → recentering binding, H6 + Phase 2
  sufficient → justify A2.
- a_var for mag/ord/urg > 1e-3 → sub-branches gradient-coupled under
  recentered signal.
- WR pinned at 50.1–50.2% → Phase 2 falsified, pivot to amplitude
  scaling or deeper hypothesis.

cffc95152c docs(sp22): H6 Phase 2 implementation runbook
Bite-sized 12-task runbook for the recentering fix specified in
`docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-h6-phase2-recenter.md`. Tasks 1-5 are the
5 atomic edits (kernel write recentered to `2*p - 1`, sentinels 0.5
→ 0.0 across host + 3 NULL-fallback kernels, plus comment updates in
state_layout.rs / state_layout.cuh). Tasks 6-8 are the three
verification gates (cargo check / gpu_backtest_validation /
compute-sanitizer) identical to H6 Phase 1 — all required clean before
commit. Task 9 appends the H6 Phase 2 entry to the audit doc
(Invariant 7 satisfaction). Task 10 is the single atomic commit per
`feedback_no_partial_refactor` covering all 5 source files + audit
doc. Task 11 dispatches the 3-epoch baseline smoke on
ci-training-l40s. Task 12 monitors for the cycle-1 verdict using the
same single-channel grep-anchored bg waiter pattern as Phase 1
(per `feedback_no_redundant_monitor`).

Every task has exact file paths, complete code blocks for edits
(showing old + new strings for Edit-tool consumption), exact commands
with expected output, and explicit kill criteria for verification gate
failures.

7883c5ca1b docs(sp22): H6 Phase 2 spec — recenter state[121] to [-1, +1]
Post-mortem of the H6 Phase 1 smoke (WR = 50.21% verdict in
`docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md`) traced an actual pearl violation in the
H6 implementation itself: state slot 121 uses the [0, 1] range
(`aux_softmax[env, 1] = p_up`) with sentinel 0.5, while every OTHER
state slot uses 0 as the "no signal" baseline (zero-padding,
feature_mask, ofi-missing, mtf-missing).

Per `pearl_first_observation_bootstrap`: "sentinel = 0; first
observation replaces directly." The H6 design violated this for
slot 121 alone. The encoder must learn TWO things about slot 121:
(1) the directional mapping AND (2) the appropriate bias offset for
the non-zero baseline — every other dim is single-step (mapping only).

Phase 2 is the simplest possible amplification fix: rewrite the bridge
to use the same convention as every other state slot. If the encoder
can't gradient-couple even after this fix, H6 is truly falsified and
we pivot to amplitude scaling or deeper hypothesis.

Change scope (atomic per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`):
- aux_softmax_to_per_env_kernel.cu: write `2*p_up - 1` instead of `p_up`
- gpu_experience_collector.rs: cold-start + FoldReset sentinel 0.5 → 0.0
- experience_kernels.cu: NULL-fallback in 3 state-gather kernels
  0.5f → 0.0f
- state_layout.rs / state_layout.cuh: comment updates to reflect
  [-1, +1] range and 0 sentinel

Estimated effort: ~45 min walltime (edits + verification gates) +
~25–40 min smoke wall-clock.

Verdict criteria (cycle 1 WR + a_var [d/m/o/u] in HEALTH_DIAG[0]):
- WR > 50.5% → recentering binding, H6 + Phase 2 sufficient → justify A2
- a_var for mag/ord/urg > 1e-3 → sub-branches learning under recentered signal
- WR pinned at 50.1–50.2% → Phase 2 falsified, pivot to amplitude
  scaling or deeper hypothesis

ce1a81552b docs(sp22): H6 smoke verdict — falsified at cycle 1 (50.21% WR)
Workflow train-cr9hl on sp20-aux-h-fixed @ 7fc979934, terminated at
epoch=1 end after 36m58s wall-clock per
`feedback_kill_runs_on_anomaly_quickly`.

Pre-smoke gates (all clean): CAPTURE_PHASE_AUX_DONE + POST_AUX_DONE,
13 child graphs captured, no CUDA errors, no panics, no OOM. The new
`aux_softmax_to_per_env_kernel` launched inside the captured forward
graph without breaking recording (pure per-thread gather, no host
branches — passes `pearl_no_host_branches_in_captured_graph`).

Epoch 1 trade stats: 489959 trades, 245998 wins, 243961 losses,
PF=0.947 — WR = 50.21%, squarely in the runbook's pre-declared
falsification band (50.1–50.2%).

Aux head was producing non-trivial directional content (HEALTH_DIAG[0]
pred_tanh = 0.6626, batch mean of softmax[1]-softmax[0]) — the bridge
was conducting signal; the policy just couldn't gradient-couple to it.

LOW EXPOSURE DIVERSITY warnings at epoch 1 (S_Small=3.8%, H_Half=0.4%,
H_Full=0.8%, L_Small=4.2%, F_Half=1.7%, F_Full=3.5%) corroborate the
V/A unidentifiability hypothesis (`project_dueling_va_unidentifiable`).
Combined with `hold_pct_ema=0.2004` against `target_hold_pct=0.1151`
and `hold_reward_ema=-0.2044`, the cost-dominance pattern from
`pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment` is the more upstream
candidate.

Phase 1 H6 wiring STAYS merged per `feedback_no_functionality_removal`:
slot 121 is allocated, the buffer is initialized via pure-GPU fill,
the copy kernel runs inside captured graphs. None is harmful; if a
future fix produces policy gradient-coupling to directional features,
the bridge is already in place.

A2 (eval-side aux integration) is deferred indefinitely — A3 NULL
fallback is sufficient for eval and there is no production case for
A2 until training-side evidence shows the bridge is doing useful work.

Next direction (framing only, not implementation):
- H3 (reward density mismatch per
  `pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment`) is the upstream
  candidate; V/A unidentifiability fix is downstream.
- Sequencing: heal gradient signal first, then test if V/A still
  pathologizes with healthy rewards.

Audit doc append: `## 2026-05-12 — SP22 H6 implementation` section gets
a new "Smoke result (2026-05-12) — H6 FALSIFIED" subsection capturing
the verdict, ruling-out table, and next-investigation framing.

7fc9799343 feat(sp22): H6 Phase 1 — aux→policy state bridge (atomic)
Wires the aux head's per-env directional probability into policy STATE
slot 121 (AUX_DIR_PROB_INDEX = PADDING_START + 0), preserving the trunk-
separation invariant from `pearl_separate_aux_trunk_when_shared_starves`.
H1 (label horizon) confirmed aux learns 78% dir-acc within-fold at H=200
but the policy was walled off; this commit conducts that signal through
the state input with a one-step lag.

Mechanism (rollout-time, collector-only)
────────────────────────────────────────
- State[env, t] reads `prev_aux_dir_prob[env]` (= p_up from step t-1).
- After aux forward at step t, the new copy kernel writes
  `aux_softmax[env, 1]` → `prev_aux_dir_prob[env]` for step t+1.
- Cold-start + FoldReset seed the buffer to 0.5 (neutral; p_up = 50%)
  via the pure-GPU `fill_f32` kernel — no HtoD per
  `feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`.
- Launch sits in the same `isv_signals && trainer_params != 0` gate as
  the aux forward, so when aux is skipped the cache keeps its previous
  (sentinel or last-good) value instead of copying stale `alloc_zeros`.

Three state-gather kernels updated atomically (per
`feedback_no_partial_refactor.md`):
- `experience_state_gather` — training, reads `aux_dir_prob_per_env[i]`
- `backtest_state_gather` — eval (single-step), NULL → 0.5 (A3 fallback)
- `backtest_state_gather_chunk` — eval (chunked), NULL → 0.5 (A3 fallback)

`assemble_state` gained a 7th param `float aux_dir_prob` written to
`out[SL_PADDING_START + 0]`; the remaining 6 padding slots stay zero
for 8-alignment.

Phase 1 scope = training-side + eval A3 NULL fallback. A2 (aux trunk
forward in eval) is deferred per the runbook — gates on whether the
smoke moves WR off the 50.1–50.2% plateau.

ff9ec76f18 docs(sp22): H6 implementation runbook + next-session prompt
Two new plan docs to enable clean session handoff:

1. docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-h6-aux-policy-state-bridge.md
   Detailed 10-step implementation runbook for H6 (aux→policy state
   bridge). Each step has file paths, kernel signatures, expected
   diff, and risk callouts. Estimated ~5hr for Phase 1 (training-side
   + A3 eval fallback). A2 (eval-side aux integration) is +1 day
   follow-up if H6 confirmed.

2. docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-h6-next-session-prompt.md
   Concise context-loading prompt to paste into next session.
   Includes state of the world, runbook pointer, verification gates,
   and start-here pointer.

Why staged: H6 implementation crosses kernel-level state-layout
contract (every consumer of STATE_DIM must migrate atomically per
feedback_no_partial_refactor). Doing it RIGHT requires careful
incremental verification with compute-sanitizer between steps —
not safely batched into a tail-end session.

f50a974fb6 docs(sp22): H1 falsified + H6 aux→policy state bridge design
H1 result (commit 9adbca826, smoke train-5zmkr, reverted at e8814079d):
  aux_dir_acc HD[2] = 78% with H=200 — aux head LEARNS direction at
  longer horizon. But policy WR stayed pinned at 50.1-50.2% — the
  learned aux signal does NOT propagate to policy (per
  pearl_separate_aux_trunk_when_shared_starves: aux on separate
  trunk with stop-grad to policy).

H6 design (synthesized from all v5-v11 + H1 evidence):

  Wire the aux head's directional probability into the policy STATE
  as an input feature.
    - Policy gradient flows THROUGH the feature (uses it)
    - Stop-grad blocks gradient BACK (aux trunk unaffected, pearl
      preserved)
    - Uses existing padding slot [121..128) in STATE_DIM=128 (no
      layout growth)

  Why this is the structural fix:
    - Aux PROVED directional signal is in the features (78% at H=200)
    - Policy PROVED it can't extract direction (WR=50% across all
      v5-v11 conditions)
    - Bridge connects the two without violating trunk separation
    - Information-theoretic: gives policy a feature it provably
      can't compute itself

  Test outcome interpretation:
    WR > 50.5%  → Mechanism 1 was binding (trunk separation gap)
    WR pinned   → Mechanism 2 (reward density) or Mechanism 3 (V/A
                  unidentifiability) dominates → H3 or V/A fix next

Files changed:
  - docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-wr-plateau-investigation.md:
      H6 added as new primary hypothesis after H1; experiment order
      revised
  - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: H6 design entry with three-mechanism
      synthesis

Implementation scope (separate commit):
  1. State layout: claim slot in padding [121..128) for aux_dir_prob
  2. Aux trunk export: pull "up" probability per bar from aux forward
  3. Experience collection: write aux_dir_prob into per-bar state
  4. Stop-grad verification: confirm policy gradient blocked
  5. Trade-open persistence: latch aux_dir_prob for trade duration

9adbca8262 experiment(sp22): H1 — pin aux pred horizon at 200 bars (atomic)
Hypothesis test for SP22 H1 (label horizon mismatch).

Finding from v9/v10 HEALTH_DIAG: aux_dir_acc=28-47% (BELOW RANDOM)
across all observed cycles. Root cause: adaptive aux_horizon_update
collapses H back to ~1.7 bars (observed avg winning hold time),
making the aux label HFT microstructure noise.

Experiment:
  1. Bump SENTINEL_AUX_PRED_HORIZON_BARS 60.0 → 200.0
  2. Disable launch_aux_horizon_chain call so H stays at sentinel

Predicted: if aux_dir_acc rises >50% → H1 confirmed; if stays ≤50%
→ escalate to H2/H4 per SP22 plan.

Cost: 1 smoke ~30min, kill early on cycle 1-2 trend.

07332bf057 docs(sp21): close-out + v10 findings + SP22 WR plateau plan
SP21 T2.2 status: cascade wiring COMPLETE.
  - All E1-E8 enrichment producers wired to consumers
  - Local compute-sanitizer clean on eval-baseline closure path
  - v9 cycle 1 confirms cascade live: win_conc=1.72, curric_conc=0.31,
    hindsight_mag=1.47e-5
  - Eval pipeline now hard-fails on GPU error, no CPU fallback,
    factored-action branch sizes + default ISV all wired

v10 hypothesis test (10 epochs, killed at E8 with clear answer):
  - val_Sharpe peaks at E3 (174), monotonically degrades to E8 (66, -62%)
  - WR pinned at 50.1-50.2% across ALL 8 epochs (no improvement)
  - PF pinned at 1.00-1.01
  - Cascade controllers stable but cannot move policy off the plateau
  - Verdict: 3-epoch baseline structure IS optimal; longer training
    monotonically degrades. WR plateau is upstream of the cascade.

Implication: SP21 T2.2 cascade is necessary but insufficient for
project_goal_wr_55_pf_2 (WR≥55%, PF≥2.0). Need new SP arc to address
the WR=50% plateau at its source.

New plan: docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-wr-plateau-investigation.md
  Hypotheses (priority order):
    H1: Label horizon mismatch (cheapest, most likely)
    H2: Action-space pathology (Hold hiding directional signal)
    H3: Reward shape (no directional gradient)
    H4: Feature representation gap (MTF features zero-padded)
    H5: Bar resolution itself is too noisy (longshot)
  Each hypothesis tested as atomic smoke with one variable changed
  vs v9 baseline (peak val=174, WR=50.1%).
  Phase 1 milestone: WR ≥ 51% on val for ≥ 1 fold.
  Phase 2: WR ≥ 53% across 3 folds.
  Phase 3: WR ≥ 55% AND PF ≥ 2.0 (SP20+ goal achieved).

d482efc416 fix(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.4-fix — winner-concentration z-score separation (atomic)
v8 smoke (train-96wfk) confirmed win_conc=0.0000 across all 9 cycles
even when PF crossed 1.0. The Phase 8.2/8.4 threshold tweaks couldn't
fix it because the underlying formula `top_mean / all_mean` is
sign-unstable around `all_mean=0`. PER alpha boost path was dark for
any cold-start policy below PF=1 — exactly the regime where the
boost matters most.

Old:  if all_mean ≤ (0.01 * pnl_std).max(0.0) { return 0.0; }
      top_mean / all_mean
      → guard trips at PF≤1 → 0.0 (every v8 cycle)

New:  ((top_mean - all_mean) / pnl_std).max(0.0)
      → z-score separation: how many pnl_stds above the overall mean
        does the top decile sit? By construction top_mean ≥ all_mean,
        so separation is non-negative even when all_mean is negative.
      → bounded [0, ∞), scale-invariant, profitability-agnostic.

Expected v9 magnitudes (v8 cycle-1-like inputs):
  top_mean ≈ 5e-6, all_mean ≈ 1e-7, pnl_std ≈ 1.08e-5
  separation = (5e-6 - 1e-7) / 1.08e-5 ≈ 0.45
  Healthy PF>1 cycles likely 0.2..1.5 range.

Pearls honoured:
  - pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven: pnl_std is the signal-driven
    scale anchor (replaces hardcoded all_mean denominator)
  - feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: z-score formulation removes the
    hardcoded multiplier dependency that motivated 8.2 and 8.4's
    threshold adjustments
  - feedback_no_quickfixes: structural reformulation, not a threshold
    tweak (8.2 and 8.4 already showed threshold tweaks couldn't fix
    the sign-instability)

9f2d0fffb5 fix(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.7 — default ISV buffer in evaluator (atomic)
v8 smoke (train-96wfk, commit 5694eb4df) eval pod crashed at the
same point as v7 with CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS despite Phase 8.5's
set_branch_sizes fix. 15-minute runtime confirmed env_step decoder
no longer crashes (8.5 worked); a later kernel still OOBed.

Localization via local compute-sanitizer (RTX 3050 Ti):

  Updated gpu_backtest_validation.rs to mirror production eval-baseline
  (FEATURE_DIM=42, portfolio_dim=24, set_branch_sizes), reproducing the
  v8 crash in 1.66s locally.

  compute-sanitizer --tool=memcheck pinpointed:
    Invalid __global__ read of size 4 bytes
      at cost_net_sharpe_kernel+0x90
      by thread (32,0,0) in block (0,0,0)
      Access at 0x65c is out of bounds

  0x65c = 1628 bytes = float index 407 = OFI_IMPACT_LAMBDA_INDEX.
  Kernel reads isv[407]; isv pointer was 0 (null) because
  isv_signals_ptr defaults to 0 in constructor and set_isv_signals_ptr
  is only called by production training. Closure-path callers
  (eval-baseline) dereferenced null + slot×4 bytes.

Fix:

  Allocate zero-filled default_isv_buf of size ISV_TOTAL_DIM=536 f32
  in constructor. Wire isv_signals_ptr to its dev_ptr by default.
  Production training still overrides via set_isv_signals_ptr.

  Zero-init semantics:
    - isv[407]=0 → ofi_lambda=0 → c_ofi=0 in cost-net sharpe
      (degraded but valid; matches LobBar.ofi=0.0 placeholder)
    - Other slots default to 0 — Kelly health, controller anchors,
      etc. all see degraded-but-valid defaults

Test updates (consumer migration):
  - FEATURE_DIM 10 → 42 (production value; FEATURE_DIM < 32 makes
    gather kernel's `market_dim = feat_dim - SL_OFI_DIM (32)` negative
    → OOB; previous tests were already broken even before our changes)
  - portfolio_dim 3 → 24 (Phase 8.3+9 contract)
  - set_branch_sizes call added (Phase 8.5 contract)

Verification:
  cargo test -p ml --test gpu_backtest_validation \
    gpu_tests::test_always_long_on_uptrend --features cuda --release
    # PASSES

  compute-sanitizer --tool=memcheck <test_bin>
    # 0 CUDA errors across all 6 tests
    # (2 PnL-assertion test failures are pre-existing data-expectation
    #  issues with new FEATURE_DIM=42, not OOB bugs)

Pearls honoured:
  - feedback_no_hiding: null pointer surfaced via compute-sanitizer
    instead of silently crashing in production
  - feedback_no_partial_refactor: closure-path callers now have
    self-contained ISV setup matching training path; consumer
    migration (test FEATURE_DIM/portfolio_dim/set_branch_sizes)
    atomic with the producer-side default ISV alloc
  - pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes: same SP cycle as
    8.3+9, 8.5 (the layer-by-layer eval rot peeling)

cb7ace0063 feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.6 — curriculum weights via z-score exp(-sharpe) (atomic)
v8 smoke (train-96wfk, commit 5694eb4df) cycle 1 confirmed
curric_conc=0.0000 despite Phase 8.2 (relaxed clamp) and 8.4 (CV
formula) — root cause was the per-segment weight function itself,
not the post-hoc concentration metric.

Old:  (1.0 / sharpe.max(0.01)).clamp(0.01, 100.0)
      → saturates at 100 when sharpe < 0.01
      → with PF<1 policy, every segment has |sharpe| < 0.01
      → all weights = 100 → uniform → CV=0

New:  exp(-(sharpe - sharpe_mean) / sharpe_std).clamp(-3, 3)
      → z-score normalised, scale-invariant
      → monotonic, smooth, no saturation cliff
      → preserves differential difficulty at any scale
      → uniform-input → std=0 → z=0 → uniform weights (cold-start ✓)

The Phase 8.4 CV formula was correct but operates on post-saturated
weights which destroy differential signal upstream. 8.6 fixes the
producer, 8.4 + 8.6 compose to give a meaningful curric_conc on
volume bars.

Note: win_conc=0 is intentional under PF<1 policy (compute_winner_concentration
guards against undefined "winner concentration" when policy is losing).
This is honest reporting, not a bug; addressed in audit doc rather
than this commit.

Pearls honoured:
  - pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven: normalisation anchor =
    observed sharpe_std (signal-driven), not magic
  - feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: z-clamp [-3, 3] is 3σ tail-
    cutoff for numerical safety, structural not tuned
  - pearl_first_observation_bootstrap: uniform Sharpe → uniform
    weights (cold-start sentinel preserved)
  - feedback_no_quickfixes: structural reformulation (1/x → exp(-z))
    not a clamp adjustment

Verification:
  cargo check -p ml --features cuda  # clean

Expected v9 cycle 1 curric_conc: ~0.3-0.6 (strong differential signal)
from typical per-segment Sharpe spread ~1σ across 8 segments.

5694eb4df2 fix(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.5 — wire factored-action branch sizes into closure-based eval (atomic)
v7 smoke (train-fv4s8, commit 23b89a90e) eval pod hit
CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS at fold 0:

  Error: DQN fold 0 GPU evaluation failed: GpuBacktestEvaluator::evaluate
    failed for fold 0: Model error: eval_done_event synchronize:
    DriverError(CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS, "an illegal memory access was encountered")

The {:#} anyhow chain fix from Phase 8.3+9 made the failure mode visible.
Diagnosis from code (no second smoke needed): the closure-based
evaluate() path never sets b0_size..b3_size, leaving them at the
default 0. env_step kernel's decode_*_4b helpers do action/(b1*b2*b3)
→ divide-by-zero → garbage decoded indices → out-of-bounds memory
read → CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS at next event-sync.

The production `evaluate_dqn_graphed` path sets b-sizes via
`ensure_action_select_ready` (which also lazy-allocates intent buffers
the closure path doesn't need). The closure-based `evaluate()` path
used by eval-baseline never calls it.

Fix:

  1. Add pub fn `GpuBacktestEvaluator::set_branch_sizes(&mut self,
     dqn_cfg: &DqnBacktestConfig)` — sets b0..b3_size only, no
     buffer allocation.

  2. Add defensive guard in `evaluate()` that bails with
     `MLError::ConfigError` if any b-size is zero. Future regressions
     produce a clear error instead of an opaque CUDA illegal-address.

  3. Wire `set_branch_sizes(&dqn_cfg)` call in
     `evaluate_dqn_fold_gpu` between `DqnBacktestConfig::from_network_dims`
     and the closure-based `evaluator.evaluate(...)`.

Pearls honoured:
  - feedback_no_hiding: zero-b-size now surfaces as ConfigError
    rather than CUDA illegal-address downstream
  - feedback_no_partial_refactor: closure-path was a partial wire-up
    from pre-factored-action days; set_branch_sizes brings it into
    parity with the CUBLAS production path for action decoding
  - pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes: v7's chain-exposing
    fix surfaced this; lands immediately not after another smoke

Verification:
  cargo check -p ml --example evaluate_baseline --features cuda  # clean

Note on PPO/supervised paths:
  Their evaluate() calls also lack set_branch_sizes and will now
  trip the defensive guard. Those paths haven't actually run eval
  since STATE_DIM grew past 54 — the silent failure mode had been
  masking it. Future Phase will either wire their action conventions
  (PPO: 5-exposure; supervised: signal thresholds) or delete the
  dead paths per feedback_no_partial_refactor.

5186701982 feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.4 — v6 loose ends (win_conc / curric_conc / hindsight_mag display) (atomic)
Three targeted fixes for v6 smoke (train-x4m96) findings that Phase 8.2
left on the table. v6 cycle-by-cycle showed `win_conc=0.0000` and
`curric_conc=0.0000` pinned across all 9 cycles, and `hindsight_mag`
printed `0.0000` due to format-width rounding.

Fix 1: compute_winner_concentration guard threshold 0.1 → 0.01 × pnl_std
  v6 had pnl_std ≈ 1e-5 and val-trade all_mean ≈ 1e-7..1e-6. At 0.1×
  the threshold was 1e-6, still above typical all_mean → short-circuit
  fired every cycle. At 0.01× (threshold 1e-7) healthy small-but-positive
  policies emit a non-zero signal; degenerate-strategy guard preserved.

Fix 2: compute_curriculum_concentration formula
  Was: 1 - entropy(weights) / log(n)   (entropy-deficit, normalized)
  Now: CV(weights) / sqrt(n − 1)        (normalized coefficient of variation)

  Entropy-deficit is ~weight_std² near uniform. v6's 8 contiguous segments
  had per-segment Sharpes in a tight band, so normalized weights stayed
  within ~0.5% of 1/n and deficit collapsed to <1e-4 (only cycle 9
  reached 0.0001). CV scales linearly with weight_std/weight_mean,
  dramatically more sensitive in the near-uniform regime. Cold-start
  (uniform) still returns 0; one-hot returns 1.

Fix 3: hindsight_mag display format {:.4} → {:.2e}
  pnl_std ≈ 1e-5 on volume bars → hindsight magnitudes are similar scale,
  printed as 0.0000 under {:.4} even when the count is non-zero. Matches
  pnl_std={:.2e} format already in the log.

Pearls honoured:
  - feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: thresholds derived from pnl_std
  - pearl_first_observation_bootstrap: uniform/empty inputs → 0.0 sentinel
  - pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven: CV anchor (one-hot = sqrt(n-1))
    is structural, not magic
  - feedback_no_quickfixes: entropy → CV is a structural reformulation

Verification:
  cargo check -p ml --features cuda  # clean

Expected v8 smoke (when dispatched):
  - win_conc rises to ~1.5..3.0 (top_decile_mean / all_mean ratio)
  - curric_conc enters 0.05..0.20 range as segments develop differential
    difficulty; grows toward ~0.4 with overfit divergence
  - hindsight_mag prints as 5e-6 or similar (real value, not zero)

If these fire, Phase 7 (alpha boost via E6/E7/E8) is finally exercised
end-to-end on volume bars.

23b89a90e9 fix(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.3+9 — eval pipeline GPU-only, hard-fail, delete CPU path (atomic)
Combined Phase 8.3 (visibility + hard-fail) and Phase 9 (CPU path
removal) per pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes. Surfaced by
v6 smoke (train-x4m96) where:

  [DQN GPU] Fold 0 GPU eval failed: GpuBacktestEvaluator::evaluate failed
    for fold 0. Falling back to CPU path.
  [DQN] Fold 0 evaluation failed: Failed to create DQN state tensor for
    bar 0: Dimension mismatch: expected 54, got 45

Both fold 0 and fold 1 hit this; workflow exited 0, masking eval
failure for every smoke run since STATE_DIM grew beyond legacy 54.

Root cause (silent GPU failure):
  evaluate_dqn_fold_gpu calls evaluator.evaluate(closure, portfolio_dim: 3)
  but GpuBacktestEvaluator initialises portfolio_dim = PORTFOLIO_BASE_DIM (8)
  + MTF_DIM (16) = 24 per canonical state layout. gather_states asserts
  match → returns MLError::ConfigError. Caller wraps with .with_context()
  + warn!("... {}", e) — `{}` strips anyhow chain, hiding root cause.
  The CPU fallback runs with a separate stale 45-dim state builder
  (42 from extract_ml_features + 3 portfolio) → fails at GpuTensor::
  from_host shape validation against the model's 54-feature default.

Fixes (all atomic):

  1. portfolio_dim: 3 → 24 at all 4 call sites (DQN x2, PPO, supervised).
     The GPU evaluator's gather_kernel handles full 128-dim state
     assembly (Market 42 + OFI 32 + TLOB 16 + MTF 16 + Portfolio 8 +
     PlanISV 7 + Padding 7); caller just declares correct portfolio_dim.

  2. Surface anyhow chain: {} → {:#} in error messages.

  3. Hard-fail on GPU eval failure: anyhow::bail! (no CPU fallback).
     Per user directive: "hard fail on gpu panic, cpu path strictly
     forbidden should be removed entirely!"

  4. DELETE CPU DQN eval path entirely:
     - fn evaluate_dqn_fold
     - fn build_chunk_states (stale 45-dim state builder)
     - fn simulate_chunk_trades
     - fn compute_metrics + struct ComputedMetrics
     - struct PortfolioState

  5. DELETE coupled surrogate-noise machinery:
     - struct SurrogateSampler + impl
     - fn load_surrogate_marginals
     - fn compute_pooled_sharpe
     - Surrogate init blocks in main
     - ACTION_MARGINALS / POOLED_SHARPE emission blocks

  6. DELETE coupled CLI flags:
     - --gpu-eval / --no-gpu-eval (GPU mandatory)
     - --surrogate-mode, --surrogate-seed, --surrogate-marginals
     - --emit-action-marginals, --emit-pooled-sharpe

  7. Collapse `if args.gpu_eval { ... }` blocks to direct calls; cleaner
     control flow, no gpu_handled tracking.

Pearls honoured:
  - feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks: GPU oracle only
  - feedback_no_partial_refactor: stale CPU layout from pre-STATE_DIM=128 era
  - feedback_no_hiding: error chain now visible via {:#}
  - feedback_no_legacy_aliases: no deprecated --no-gpu-eval wrapper
  - pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes: 8.3+9 combined

Files changed:
  - crates/ml/examples/evaluate_baseline.rs:
      −892 net lines (1066 del, 174 ins; 2817 → 1925)
  - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-12 audit entry

Verification:
  - cargo check -p ml --example evaluate_baseline --features cuda  # clean
  - cargo check --workspace --features cuda                        # clean
  - cargo test -p ml --lib --features cuda financials              # 7/7

Note: OFI/TLOB/MTF feature-set fidelity is a separate concern. The GPU
gather_kernel handles state assembly; caller currently provides zeroed
OFI (LobBar.ofi = 0.0) and no MTF data. Eval will run, but on degraded
features. Faithful feature wiring deferred to a later Phase once
eval-runs-at-all is validated by v7 smoke.

79d0c53034 feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.2 — signal-drive E6/E7/E8 thresholds via pnl_std (atomic)
Three producers in enrichment.rs had hardcoded magnitude thresholds
sized for time-bar trades (per-trade pnl ≈ 1e-3..1e-2). Foxhunt's
volume bars (bars_per_day ≈ 34_496) produce per-trade pnl in
1e-7..1e-5 range, so the constants tripped every cycle:

  - compute_winner_concentration: `all_mean <= 1e-6` → win_conc=0
  - compute_hindsight_labels:     `t.pnl < -0.001` → hindsight count=0
  - compute_curriculum_weights:   `(1/sharpe).clamp(0.1, 10.0)` →
                                  similar small Sharpes saturate to 10 →
                                  uniform weights → curric_conc=0

Surfaced by smoke v5 (train-vds7r, commit d1638959d): across all 3
cycles of fold 0, the E6/E7/E8 scalar signals stayed pinned at
0.0000 — the Phase 5/6/7 PER-alpha-boost path was dark code.

Fix:
  - New `compute_pnl_std(trades)` helper: Welford std over eval-trade
    pnl column; 0.0 on empty, |pnl| on single-element bootstrap
  - `compute_winner_concentration(trades, pnl_std)`: guard becomes
    `all_mean <= (0.1 × pnl_std).max(0.0)`
  - `compute_hindsight_labels(trades, pnl_std)`: filter becomes
    `t.pnl < (-0.5 × pnl_std).min(-1e-9)` (floor handles cold start)
  - `compute_curriculum_weights`: clamp relaxed (0.1, 10.0) →
    (0.01, 100.0); fallback weight 0.1 → 0.01
  - `run_enrichments` computes pnl_std once per cycle, threads through
    to producers; diagnostic log extended with pnl_std field

Pearls honoured:
  - feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: hardcoded constants → signal-
    derived thresholds
  - pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven: anchors derive from observed
    data scale, not bar-resolution magic numbers
  - pearl_first_observation_bootstrap: pnl_std=0 → producers return
    sentinel 0.0 or use absolute floor (cold-start preserved)

Verification:
  - cargo check -p ml --features cuda          # clean
  - cargo test -p ml --lib financials          # 7/7 (unchanged)

Expected v6 cycle 1: pnl_std ≈ 1e-5, win_conc ≈ 1.5..3.0,
hindsight count > 40k, curric_conc > 0.

Note: curriculum clamp bounds (0.01, 100.0) are still hardcoded;
making them fully ISV-driven is deferred to Phase 9. Immediate
Phase 8.2 goal is unblocking the dark-code path so the downstream
per_update_pa / per_insert_pa alpha-boost composition actually
fires on volume-bar trades.

d1638959d3 fix(sp21): Return v3.1 — drop short-rollout guard for volume bars (atomic)
Single-file fix to `compute_epoch_financials`: remove the
`if n_returns_f >= bars_per_year` short-rollout fallback that
left v2 semantics in place for sub-year rollouts. For Foxhunt's
volume bars, `bars_per_day ≈ 34_496` → `bars_per_year ≈ 8.69M`,
while a training epoch produces `n_returns ≈ 4.10M`. The guard
fired on every production epoch, so the v3 CAGR fix was a no-op.

Diagnosis chain:
- v3 commit (2937da889) merged the n_returns >= bars_per_year guard
- Smoke v4 (commit 62b5a50e8, workflow train-frv8x) epoch 1 showed
  Return=+2.963e2% — bit-identical to v1's pre-fix output
- Hypothesis 1 (cache poisoning): ruled out — ensure-binary log
  shows "Cache MISS: compiling binaries for 62b5a50e8" and ml crate
  was recompiled fresh
- Hypothesis 2 (different commit): ruled out — workflow params confirm
  commit-sha = 62b5a50e8 = current HEAD
- Hypothesis 3 (bars_per_year mismatch): confirmed — v4 log emits
  "Bars per day (from data): 34496" which makes bars_per_year > n_returns
  and triggers the v2 fallback inside the v3 branch

Fix: unconditional CAGR. The log-space clamp [-23, +20] bounds
the display in all edge cases (tests with tiny n_returns
extrapolate aggressively; the clamp caps at exp(20) - 1 ≈ +4.85e8%).

Expected v5 epoch 1 Return: ~+1.770e3% (was +2.963e2% under v4).
The new value is the *actual annualized* projection: 1377% over
a 0.47-year rollout. Overfit cycles cap at +4.85e8% (was +e19%).

Tests:
- cargo test -p ml --lib financials → 7/7
- Sign-only assertions in test cases (all > 0.0) — no regressions

62b5a50e8b fix(eval): shape-mismatch on checkpoint load — read arch from safetensors metadata (atomic)
Smoke v1 (train-grfcw) evaluate phase failed with "Failed to load DQN
checkpoint" for fold 0 and fold 1. MinIO log inspection confirmed
checkpoints WERE saved (1431144 bytes each) — the failure was
eval-side shape mismatch.

Root cause:
- Training uses STATE_DIM=128 (ml_core::state_layout), num_actions=108
  (factored b0*b1*b2*b3=4*3*3*3), num_order_types=3,
  num_urgency_levels=3.
- evaluate_baseline CLI defaults: --feature-dim=54, --num-actions=5
  (legacy from pre-branching DQN era).
- Loading 128-state-dim 108-action checkpoint into 54-feature 5-action
  net → tensor shape mismatch → `load_from_safetensors` returned
  parse error → `with_context(...)` wrapped it as the generic "Failed
  to load DQN checkpoint" message, hiding the actual shape error.
- Both GPU and CPU eval paths hit the same root cause.

Fix:
Both eval paths now call `DQNConfig::from_safetensors_file(&ckpt_path)`
to read architecture-critical fields from the checkpoint's embedded
metadata (state_dim, num_actions, hidden_dims, num_order_types,
num_urgency_levels, dueling_hidden_dim, num_atoms, gamma). Eval-time
fields (LR, epsilon, buffer caps) overridden; hyperopt-derived gamma/
v_min/v_max applied if present in hyperopt config.

Older checkpoints without embedded metadata fall back to CLI-args-built
config + warn! log. All production SP21+ checkpoints embed metadata
via the existing DQNConfig::checkpoint_metadata path.

Files changed:
- crates/ml/examples/evaluate_baseline.rs: shape-aware config for both
  dqn_eval_gpu_path (line ~1238) and dqn_eval_cpu_path (line ~1029)
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry

Verification:
- cargo check -p ml --examples --features cuda: 0 errors
- cargo test -p ml --lib financials: 7/7 (unchanged)
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 4/4 (unchanged)

Behavioral gate: smoke v3 (train-psf86, in-flight on 2937da889) won't
have this fix; smoke v4 dispatch on this commit will validate
evaluate phase succeeds for all folds. Look for
"[DQN GPU] Architecture from checkpoint: ..." log line per fold.

2937da8898 fix(sp21): inflated return + missing best.safetensors at training end (atomic)
Two smoke-driven fixes for issues surfaced by smoke v1 (train-grfcw).

Fix 1: inflated Return (financials.rs)
- Prior `exp(sum(log(1+r_i))) - 1` produced `Return=+8.730e19%` on
  ~4M step_returns/epoch. Math correct but metric meaningless.
- Fix: ANNUALIZED compounded return (CAGR). For n_returns ≥
  bars_per_year, scale log_growth by `bars_per_year / n_returns`
  then exp. Short rollouts (tests/warmup) fall back to total
  compounded. Clamped to log-space `[-23, +20]` for display sanity.
- Smoke v1 epoch 3 with fix: 24.7% annualized (was +e19%).
- Documented v1→v2→v3 history in comment.

Fix 2: missing dqn_fold{N}_best.safetensors (training_loop.rs)
- Smoke v1 evaluate phase failed with "Failed to load DQN
  checkpoint" for fold 0 and fold 1.
- Root cause: async best-worker swallowed errors non-fatally; with

ad99b79e07 feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 7.5 — E8 curriculum_weights → per-segment PER insert priority boost (atomic)
Closes the "true E8 per-segment PER sampling" deferral from Phase 7.
Phase 7 wired E8's SCALAR concentration to per_update_pa's alpha
boost; Phase 7.5 wires the FULL Vec<f32> of per-segment weights to
per_insert_pa's priority boost.

What lands:
1. 8 new ISV slots [528..536): CURRICULUM_WEIGHT_{0..8}_INDEX.
2. ISV_TOTAL_DIM 528 → 536 (bus extension); fingerprint adds 8 SLOT
   entries; CURRICULUM_N_SEGMENTS=8 const + curriculum_weight_index
   accessor.
3. per_insert_pa kernel reads isv[528 + seg_id] where seg_id = i % 8
   (round-robin segment tag); effective priority × N_SEGMENTS ×
   weight[seg_id]. Uniform weights → no-op (× 1.0); cold-start
   sentinel → no-op; 0.1× floor against pathological zero-weight
   segments preventing sticky exclusion.
4. Producer in training_loop writes 8 ISV slots from
   result.curriculum_weights[0..8].

Segment tagging rationale:
- Naïve approach (tag tuples by val-curriculum-segment id) is
  infeasible — val and training have separate coordinate systems
  (same problem documented in Phase 5+6 audit re E6 winner indices).
- Round-robin via `i % 8` distributes experience-collector's typical
  512+ tuple batch evenly across 8 segments. Over time buffer has
  equal representation per segment; E8 weights redirect sampling
  pressure toward "hard" segments at insert time.
- HEURISTIC mapping (doesn't preserve val-segment semantics) but
  consumes the curriculum_weights vector for real PER priority
  redistribution — Phase 7.5's stated goal.

39d4577b77 feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 8.1 — signal-drive agree_thr clamp bounds via val_sharpe_std (atomic)
Closes the last hardcoded anchor in compute_agreement_threshold per
pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven. Smoke-driven motivation: the
9-cycle smoke run of commit 1d2dd38a1 (Phases 1.5..8) produced
monotonic agree_thr loosening from 1.30 → 10.00, hitting the
hardcoded upper clamp on cycle 9.

Bound formula:
  scale = (1.0 + val_sharpe_std × 2.0).clamp(1.0, 5.0)
  lo = 0.01 / scale
  hi = 10.0 × scale

Bound behaviour:
  val_sharpe_std=0 (cold)    → scale=1.00 → [0.01, 10.0]  (= pre-8.1 baseline)
  val_sharpe_std=0.05 (mild) → scale=1.10 → [0.009, 11.0]
  val_sharpe_std=0.30 (noisy)→ scale=1.60 → [0.006, 16.0]
  val_sharpe_std≥2.0 (extreme) → scale=5.00 → [0.002, 50.0]  (Invariant 1 ceiling)

The 2.0× multiplier and [1.0, 5.0] scale clamp are themselves
hardcoded but explicitly Invariant 1 carve-outs (numerical-
stability bounds on the bound formula, NOT controller anchors).
The recursion terminates at structural floors/ceilings per
pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary's canonical pattern —
making meta-meta-meta-bounds signal-driven gains nothing.

Cold-start preservation: prior special-case short-circuit
returned current.clamp(0.01, 10.0). New formula reduces to that
exact behaviour when std=0 (scale=1, lo=0.01, hi=10.0). The
short-circuit is retained for explicit "no update on cold start"
semantics. No behavioural regression at cold-start.

  threshold clamp refactor (single-function change, no ABI churn)

commits, no hardcoded anchors remaining in enrichment controllers
(only Invariant 1 stability carve-outs on bound-on-bound formulas,
which terminate the recursion).

1077f1e165 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.

f29dcc47c9 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+).

1d2dd38a10 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:

34d19955ff 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]

a6087a0b23 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.

47e67011c9 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

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_

- 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

b7c4f84ea0 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 +
  fingerprint + 7-way Adam split with per-branch lr_scale
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/dqn_utility_kernels.cu: lr_scale arg + apply

- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: write 4 ISV slots
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry

  + slot uniqueness + branch index mapping)
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12

- sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3
Total: 31 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate (per-branch LR divergence)
is the upcoming smoke training run.

21f911151a 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).

ISV slot allocation (per pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven +
feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds — adaptive Q-target shift IS
adaptive bound, lives in ISV bus):
- New Q_CORRECTION_INDEX = 520 in cuda_pipeline::sp21_isv_slots
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 520 → 521 (bus extension)
- Layout fingerprint adds SLOT_520_Q_CORRECTION
- New module registered in cuda_pipeline/mod.rs
- Compile-time test verifies SP21_SLOT_END <= ISV_TOTAL_DIM

Sign convention: q_correction is the additive correction (E1 already
negates the bias). predicted_q > pnl → q_correction < 0 → "lower
Q-targets". predicted_q < pnl → q_correction > 0 → "raise Q-targets".
Cold-start sentinel 0.0 (no trades yet) is no-op until first val
pass writes (per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap).

ABI surgery (minimal):
- mse_loss_batched: ONE new scalar arg (float q_correction) at end
- c51_loss_batched: ZERO new args (block_bellman_project_f already
  takes isv_signals; reads slot 520 from there)
- launch_mse_loss: reads ISV[520] host-side via existing
  read_isv_signal_at, passes scalar
- training_loop.rs (post-enrichment): writes result.q_correction
  to ISV[520] via existing write_isv_signal_at

Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs (NEW): slot const +
  bounds-check tests
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/mod.rs: pub mod sp21_isv_slots
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump +
  fingerprint update + launch_mse_loss launcher arg
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/mse_loss_kernel.cu: q_correction arg +
  application to target_q
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/c51_loss_kernel.cu: read isv_signals[520]
  in block_bellman_project_f, add to t_z
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: write_isv_signal_at(
  Q_CORRECTION_INDEX, result.q_correction) post-enrichment
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry

Two Important review findings:
1. docs/superpowers/plans/*.md missing from sp-critical-reviewer routing
   table — sp-critical-reviewer would never self-suggest on plan files
   (its primary use case).
2. STATE_FILE and REPO_ROOT diverged when CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR was unset
   (one used "." relative, the other "$(pwd)" absolute). Compute REPO_ROOT
   first and derive STATE_FILE from it; remove the duplicate later
   assignment.

ea12c172e6 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.

26deaa5004 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)
