1. Temporal pipeline in training forward (submit_forward_ops_main):
- mamba2_step: temporal scan enriches h_s2 with history
- compute_predictive_coding_loss: temporal smoothness
- apply_regime_dropout: regime-conditioned dropout
- launch_isv_temporal_route: per-feature temporal weights
- risk_budget_forward: risk budget from h_s2
These were only in the monitoring path (reduce_current_q_stats),
never in the actual training forward. The model trained without
any temporal context.
2. ISV signal update after each adam step:
update_isv_signals() called after mamba2 backward, reads pinned
loss/grad_norm/Q-mean and updates the 12-element ISV vector.
Was never called during training — ISV signals stayed at zero.
3. Backtest min_hold fixed:
eval_min_hold was hardcoded 0 — no hold enforcement in validation.
Now uses config.min_hold_bars.
4. Backtest ISV signals:
Passes frozen ISV signals from last training step to validation
backtest for adaptive hold enforcement.
5. aux_frequency parameter (default 4):
IQL, IQN, attention, CQL run every 4th step instead of every step.
~4x faster epochs. graph_forward still runs every step.

graph_mega captures spectral+forward+aux in one graph. Replay hangs
on Hopper even with cudarc wrapper. Split graphs work: graph_forward
(from GpuDqnTrainer) + graph_aux (cudarc wrapper). Both graphed,
2 launches per step instead of 1.

Rewrote capture_graph_mega to use cudarc's begin_capture/end_capture
instead of raw cuda_sys. Same fix that resolved graph_aux hang.
All graph types (graph_mega, graph_aux, graph_spectral) now use
cudarc wrapper consistently. Falls back to split graphs if mega fails.

compute_validation_loss only returned Sharpe, discarding all other
backtest metrics. Now logs the complete picture on every epoch so we
can verify if the learning system actually works on out-of-sample data.

bars_per_day was hardcoded 390 (1-minute candles) but we use MBP-10
imbalance bars (~7500/day). All Sharpe/Sortino/return annualization
was off by sqrt(7500/390) ≈ 4.4×.
Now computed from actual fxcache timestamps:
bars_per_day = total_bars / (trading_days from timestamp span)
Propagates to: val_Sharpe, train_Sharpe, financials, backtest evaluator.

Root cause: capture_graph_aux and capture_graph_spectral used raw
cuda_sys::cuStreamBeginCapture_v2 / cuStreamEndCapture, bypassing
cudarc's internal state tracking. Mixing raw FFI with cudarc's
managed context corrupts the captured graph, causing replay hangs.
capture_training_graphs (GpuDqnTrainer) always used cudarc's
stream.begin_capture() / stream.end_capture() and worked. Now all
graph captures use the same cudarc wrapper.
All graphs re-enabled: graph_forward, graph_forward_ddqn, graph_adam,
graph_spectral, graph_aux. Full graphed pipeline.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
graph_aux was still being captured (then not replayed). The capture
process uses cuStreamBeginCapture which corrupts cudarc's internal
state, causing the NEXT graph_forward replay to hang on step 2.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
graph_forward replays fine (step 1 completes in 3.8s).
graph_aux replay hangs on step 2. All aux ops work ungraphed
(confirmed by diagnostic run). Keep graph_forward graphed for
speed, run aux ops directly on stream until root cause found.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: cudarc's device_ptr() records CudaEvents during graph
capture, silently corrupting the graph. capture_training_graphs
(GpuDqnTrainer) already disabled event tracking, but capture_graph_aux
and capture_graph_spectral (FusedTrainingCtx) did not.
With state_dim=88 this was harmless. With state_dim=96, different
buffer layouts trigger event recording paths in IQL/IQN/attention,
producing a corrupted graph that hangs on replay.
Diagnostic confirmed: all ops complete ungraphed, graph_aux capture
returned CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED.

Skip all CUDA Graph capture — run cuBLAS + kernels directly on stream.
If this works, the hang is graph replay. If not, it's a kernel bug.

If graph_forward works with the working SHA cubin but hangs with
current cubin, nvcc register allocation changes from new/modified
kernels in the same compilation unit affect graph-captured kernels.

NVIDIA docs: cuBLAS with cublasLtMatmul requires GLOBAL capture mode,
not THREAD_LOCAL. THREAD_LOCAL allows cuBLAS internal cudaMallocAsync
to escape the capture scope on sm_90, corrupting the graph.
Also reverts all previous workaround attempts (workspace=0, ldb padding,
bn_concat stride) — the capture mode was the root cause.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Workspace-using cublasLt algorithms on sm_90 employ TMA (Tensor Memory
Accelerator) internally. TMA state is not captured by CUDA Graphs,
causing replay hangs. Setting MAX_WORKSPACE_BYTES=0 in the algorithm
heuristic forces workspace-free algorithms guaranteed graph-compatible.
Applied to all 4 GEMM descriptor creation paths:
- batched_forward.rs: cached + uncached + relu_bias
- batched_backward.rs: cached
Removed ws_size parameter from descriptor creation functions — no
longer needed. ~5-10% GEMM perf cost vs full workspace, negligible
vs total step time.

graph_mega uses raw cuda_sys FFI for capture which hangs on Hopper
with state_dim=96. Split graphs use cudarc's begin/end_capture which
handles event tracking correctly. 3 launches vs 1 per step — ~2µs
overhead, negligible vs ~160ms step time.

state_dim 88→96 changed s1_input_dim (62→70), causing cuBLAS
heuristic to pick a CUDA Graph-incompatible algorithm on sm_90.
Padding bn_concat's leading dimension to 128 (CUTLASS K-tile)
forces tile-aligned algorithms that work in graph replay.
Changes:
- batched_forward.rs: s1_ldb always pad128 when bottleneck active
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: bn_concat_buf allocated with padded stride
- dqn_utility_kernels.cu: bn_tanh_concat_kernel takes concat_stride param

capture_graph_mega was missing disable_event_tracking() that
capture_training_graphs already had. With state_dim=96, cudarc's
device_ptr() calls inside cuBLAS record CudaEvents during graph
capture, which are disallowed and corrupt the graph on Hopper.
Also reverts c51_grad/c51_loss/dqn_utility kernel files to working
SHA — removes all symptom-chasing changes that were red herrings.

Temporarily reverts ALL experience_kernels.cu changes to match 11b1a1ca9
exactly. If graph_mega works, the cubin-level changes (new plan_noise_inject
kernel + modified experience_state_gather/env_step bodies) are affecting
register allocation for graph_mega kernels on Hopper.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
graph_mega on Hopper requires EXACT node structure match with working
SHA 11b1a1ca9. Two remaining differences caused the hang:
- c51_grad: 18→19 params (restored unused q_mean_ema_ptr)
- HER relabel: (1,1,1)→(32,1,1) (restored warp-parallel launch)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The warp-parallel (32,1,1) change to c51_loss_reduce caused the same
hang as isv_feature_gate: changing block_dim inside graph_mega alters
CUDA Graph node structure on Hopper's TMA scheduler. Must stay (1,1,1).
Also: batch_size 8192→16384, gpu_n_episodes 1024→4096, num_atoms 51→52
to align h100.toml with dqn-production.toml.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause: the read→write split (save_h_s2 → gated_h_s2_buf) removed the
WAW dependency that cuBLAS's internal TMA async ops on Hopper (sm_90)
require for correct CUDA Graph replay ordering. In-place modification
restores the dependency chain: cuBLAS forward → isv_feature_gate → backward.
Also upgrades c51_loss_reduce from sequential to warp-parallel reduction
(32 threads, __shfl_down_sync) — ~32× faster for B=8192.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The block_dim (1,1,1) → (32,1,1) change introduced race conditions
in every single-thread kernel that writes to shared scalars.
Fixed stochastic_depth_rng and c51_loss_reduce individually, but
there may be more. Safest fix: revert ALL to (1,1,1) matching the
working 11b1a1ca9. These kernels are tiny (single-thread work) —
the 32-thread "optimization" wasted 31 threads and added races.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
SECOND race condition from block_dim (1,1,1)→(32,1,1) change:
c51_loss_reduce had 32 threads all computing sum and writing to
total_loss[0] simultaneously. On sm_90 (H100) → corrupted loss →
NaN in C51 gradient → graph_mega replay hangs.
This kernel runs INSIDE graph_mega (submit_forward_ops_main),
called twice (MSE reduce + C51 reduce). Both corrupted.
Also fixed stochastic_depth_rng in previous commit (same issue,
runs in pre-replay).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause of graph_mega hang: stochastic_depth_rng kernel had NO
threadIdx.x guard. When block_dim changed from (1,1,1) to (32,1,1),
all 32 threads wrote to scale_buf[0..2] and rng_state[0] simultaneously.
Race condition → corrupted stochastic depth scales → NaN in cuBLAS
forward → C51 Bellman projection diverges → infinite loop → hang.
Fix: if (threadIdx.x != 0) return; — single writer for 3 scale + 1 rng.

plan_noise_inject is the ONLY new kernel inside graph_mega vs the
working 11b1a1ca9. Everything else is identical (submit_forward_ops_main,
submit_aux_ops, capture_graph_mega). If this fixes the hang,
plan_noise_inject is incompatible with graph_mega on sm_90.

Reverted to the structure that WORKED on H100: ISV kernels inside
submit_forward_ops_main (captured in graph_mega). Removed duplicate
pre-replay calls. The working version had ISV in graph_mega — removing
them was wrong. Added plan_noise_inject to the same block.

The per-weight-element rewrite (2 blocks, B=8192 loop) caused
graph_mega replay to hang on H100 sm_90. The original warp+block
reduction (ceil(B/256) blocks, atomicAdd per block) worked on H100.
Reverted to working version. Remove duplicate fill_gamma_buf from
pre-replay (already inside graph_mega).
Root cause investigation pending — the per-weight-element pattern
works on sm_80 (RTX 3050) but hangs on sm_90 (H100).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
ROOT CAUSE of graph_mega hang: the warp+block reduction in
recursive_confidence_backward had 256 iterations of __syncthreads
inside a loop (2 syncs × SH2=256 = 512 barriers per thread).
This overwhelmed the CUDA graph node scheduler on H100.
Fix: converted to per-weight-element pattern (same as other
deterministic backward kernels). One thread per weight (SH2+1=257),
loops over B samples. Zero __syncthreads, zero atomicAdd,
zero shared memory. Graph-mega safe.
Grid: ceil(257/256)=2 blocks (was ceil(8192/256)=32 blocks).
Massive resource reduction + deterministic + graph compatible.

NVRTC-compiled ISV kernels conflict with cuBLAS GEMM internal stream
scheduling when captured in the same CUDA Graph as cuBLAS ops.
Moving ISV+plan to pre-replay phase: they run BEFORE graph_mega
replay on every training step. Their outputs (gamma_mod_buf,
branch_gate_buf, gated_h_s2_buf, predicted_error_buf, plan_params_buf)
are stable device buffers consumed by the captured graph.
Same result, no deadlock. ISV updates every step (not every 50).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
ROOT CAUSE of graph_mega hang: isv_feature_gate modified save_h_s2
in-place. cuBLAS backward (later in graph_mega) reads save_h_s2
expecting ORIGINAL (pre-gate) values for correct gradient computation.
The gated values corrupted gradients → GPU hang.
Fix: separate buffers. save_h_s2 preserved for backward (unmodified).
gated_h_s2_buf receives ISV-gated output for branch heads.
recursive_confidence_forward, trade_plan_forward, risk_budget_forward
now read from gated_h_s2_buf.

CUDA Graph mega capture hangs with block_dim=(1,1,1) kernels.
Changed all ISV/plan single-thread launches to block_dim=(32,1,1).
Kernels already guard with if(threadIdx.x != 0) return — only
thread 0 does work, rest idle. Full warp is graph scheduler
friendly. Local smoke test passes.

ISV kernels back inside submit_forward_ops_main (graph capture).

conviction_drift = current_conviction - entry_conviction: model sees

When readiness≥0.7 and conviction changes significantly mid-trade:
+30% conviction → extend plan (thesis strengthening)
-60% conviction → shorten to exit in 3 bars (thesis collapsing)
Normal fluctuation (0.4x-1.3x) → plan unchanged.

Stop threshold: max(plan_stop, 0.5%) / (1 + grad_norm_instability).
Tighter when gradient pressure high, wider when stable.
Max hold: 50 * regime_stability → 10-50 bars (shorter in transitions).

4 new portfolio features (portfolio_dim 8→12, state_dim 88→96):
- plan_progress: hold_time / target_bars (how far through plan)
- pnl_vs_target: unrealized P&L / profit_target (how close to goal)
- pnl_vs_stop: unrealized P&L / stop_loss (how close to risk limit)
- plan_conviction: conviction at entry (confidence level)
Model now reasons about its own plan through temporal attention.
"I'm 80% through, 83% to target → hold" vs "I'm past stop → exit."
Planning becomes metacognitive — the model sees AND reasons about
its intentions, not just market state.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Hard exit removed for normal plan targets (stop/profit/time).
Model LEARNS exit timing through temporal attention:
- ISV-gated trunk → Mamba2 temporal state → branch Q-values
- Conviction scales reward → model learns confidence calibration
- Portfolio observation includes hold_time, unrealized P&L, drawdown
- Model decides when to exit through Q(Flat) vs Q(Hold)
Safety net remains: hard exit only on catastrophic loss (>2%) or
extreme hold (>50 bars). Everything else is learned, not forced.
Planning, holding, strategic positioning are all attention-driven.
