5 sweep YAMLs updated to reference the new checkpoint filename:
- config/ml/sweep_smoke.yaml: trunk_best_h6000.bin → trunk_best_h1000.bin
- config/ml/sweep_perhoriz_diag.yaml: same
- config/ml/sweep_threshold_tuning.yaml: same
- config/ml/sweep_deployability.yaml: same
- config/ml/sweep_smoke_perhoriz_cfc.yaml: same + 3 comment updates
(WIN-gate criteria, header doc, best-checkpoint annotation)
scripts/generate_sweep_variants.py:61 updated atomically — without this
the next regeneration of sweep_deployability.yaml would silently
re-introduce trunk_best_h6000.bin.
Argo workflow templates (alpha-perception, alpha-cv, lob-backtest-sweep)
did NOT need text changes — they're already horizon-agnostic:
- They forward CLI flags via {{workflow.parameters.*}} to binaries
- Don't grep alpha_train_summary.json inline
- Don't reference per-horizon field names
- early-stop-metric default is "mean_auc" (horizon-agnostic)
Intentionally left:
- alpha-cv-template.yaml stacker-horizon: "6000" (unrelated TFT lookback)
- alpha-cv-template.yaml horizon: "1200" (DQN execution horizon in bars)
- lob-backtest-sweep-template.yaml ci-training-h100 (GPU pool name)
NOTE: kubectl apply of workflow templates is deferred to Task 10 (push
+ dispatch). Verified all 5 sweep YAMLs parse with python3 yaml.safe_load.

Closes the operational gap from P6: when a sweep grid YAML carries
sim_variants, argo-lob-sweep.sh now emits ONE run-sweep-batched task
instead of N fan-out run-cell tasks. The new run-sweep template
invokes `fxt-backtest sweep` against the full grid (base64-encoded
inline as Argo parameter to avoid YAML special-char encoding traps).
The binary's P6 sweep() function handles cell × variant fan-out
internally via BatchedSimConfig::from_grid, so one pod processes all
4 windows × 140 variants sequentially. Trade-off: no inter-window
parallelism in this rev (4 quarters sequential in one pod ≈ firm-bound
2h wall per spec §9). 3-pod scale-out is P7 future work — needs the
script to split the YAML into per-window sub-grids and emit one
run-sweep task per sub-grid.
Backward-compat: legacy (no sim_variants) flow unchanged. The dry-run
of sweep_smoke.yaml continues to emit run-cell-* fan-out tasks; the
dry-run of sweep_deployability.yaml emits one run-sweep-batched task.

Sweep YAML now supports the batched flow per spec §3.3 + Task 6:
- SweepBase.sim_variants: Vec<SimVariant> — list of (cost, latency,
threshold, ...) variants. When non-empty, each cell runs ONE harness
at n_parallel=variants.len() with BatchedSimConfig::from_grid instead
of the legacy one-harness-per-cell fan-out.
- SweepBase.data_template: Option<String> — when set with `{window}`
placeholder, each cell's `window` field interpolates the per-cell
data path. Replaces single scalar `data` for the windowed flow.
- SweepCell.window: Option<String> — window identifier (e.g., "2025-Q2").
- SimVariant: threshold + cost_per_lot_per_side required (the spec's
primary axes); other fields optional overrides on top of SweepBase
scalars.
New runner pieces:
- BatchedSimConfig::from_grid(&[ResolvedSimVariant]) in
crates/ml-backtesting/src/sim/batched_config.rs.
- ResolvedSimVariant — per-variant fully-resolved sim params.
- resolve_sim_variants(&SweepBase) in main.rs — layers per-variant
overrides over base scalars.
- run_batched_cell() in main.rs — builds the harness with
sim_config_override + variant_names plumbed through. Writes per-
backtest artifacts to sim_<variant_name>/ subdirs (spec §3.3).
Harness side:
- BacktestHarnessConfig gains variant_names + sim_config_override
Option fields. When sim_config_override is Some, harness uses that
directly instead of building from_uniform off scalar cfg. When
variant_names is Some, write_artifacts uses sim_<name>/ instead of
cell_NNNN/ subdirs. Both None preserve legacy single-cell behaviour
(smoke, fixtures unchanged).
YAML configs:
- config/ml/sweep_threshold_tuning.yaml: 1 cell (W0) × 8 sim_variants
(p60-p95 in 5pt steps) with cost=0.125 (1-tick anchor). Threshold
pre-registration pass.
- config/ml/sweep_deployability.yaml: 4 cells (W1-W4) × 140 variants
each (7 costs × 4 latencies × 5 thresholds). Generated by
scripts/generate_sweep_variants.py — placeholder threshold values
(p60-p95) until threshold-tuning publishes calibrated absolutes to
config/ml/v2_prod_thresholds.json.
Deferred to P7 (operational glue):
- argo-lob-sweep.sh adaptation for the batched flow (cells = windows,
not sim-variants; one Argo task per window invokes `fxt-backtest sweep`
end-to-end inside the pod rather than `fxt-backtest run`).
Regression: all 7 existing CUDA tests pass through the new harness
construction path (sim_config_override = None → from_uniform fallback).

argo-lob-sweep.sh's awk substitution for # __SWEEP_CELLS__ matched BOTH
the actual marker (line 110, whitespace-indented) AND the docstring
reference at the top of the template that mentions `# __SWEEP_CELLS__`
inside a sentence (line 8). Result: cell task was injected twice,
once before `apiVersion:` (breaking kubectl apply with 'invalid object'
validation error) and once at the correct DAG location.
Fix: anchor the match to lines that START with whitespace + the marker
(^[[:space:]]+# __SWEEP_CELLS__), so the docstring sentence (which has
'# The' first) no longer matches.
sweep_smoke.yaml: rewrite from the spec's idealised (axes:/windows:)
schema to the actual base:/cells: schema that fxt-backtest sweep +
argo-lob-sweep.sh parse. Hardcodes SHA 58b5ebbd3 (the production
training run); bounds smoke runtime via max_events=100000.
Verified: smoke sweep workflow lob-backtest-sweep-hxwmq submits cleanly
and starts running.
Cluster fan-out for the `fxt-backtest sweep` single-machine path.
Reads the same grid YAML format as the binary; runs each cell on a
dedicated GPU pod in parallel; aggregates at the end on a CPU pod.
infra/k8s/argo/lob-backtest-sweep-template.yaml:
WorkflowTemplate `lob-backtest-sweep` with three job templates:
ensure-binary — cache-or-compile fxt-backtest by short-SHA into
/mnt/training-data/bin/<sha>/. Mirrors the
train-multi-seed-template.yaml ensure-binary
shape but for a single binary.
run-cell — single GPU pod (ci-training-l40s default per
feedback_default_to_l40s_pool.md). Receives
cell-name + every Run arg via inputs.parameters.
Writes artifacts to <sweep-root>/<sweep-tag>/<cell>/.
aggregate — CPU pod runs `fxt-backtest aggregate <sweep-dir>`
producing aggregate.parquet + pareto_frontier.json
at the sweep root.
DAG marker `# __SWEEP_CELLS__` replaced at submission time with N
WorkflowTask stanzas (one per cell), and the aggregate's
`dependencies: [ensure-binary]` is rewritten to include every
run-cell-* dep — so aggregate waits for ALL cells.
scripts/argo-lob-sweep.sh:
Companion submission script following the argo-train.sh pattern.
Parses the grid YAML via python3 + PyYAML (no `yq` dependency —
yq isn't used elsewhere in foxhunt scripts; python3+PyYAML is
universal in our CI images). Emits per-cell WorkflowTask stanzas
+ aggregate dependency list, awks them into the template, then
`kubectl apply` + `argo submit`. Supports --dry-run for offline
rendering and --watch for live log following.
Defaults match the spec / pearl set:
- sm_89 / ci-training-l40s default (override via --gpu-pool
ci-training-h100 for sm_90 + 80 GB)
- data root /mnt/training-data/futures-baseline/ES.FUT
- sweep results under /mnt/training-data/sweeps/lob-backtest/<tag>/
- sweep-tag defaults to <basename of grid>-<short-sha>
Verified locally:
- bash -n syntax-check passes
- --help renders
- --dry-run against the existing
config/ml/sweep_decision_stride_example.yaml renders a valid
workflow with 4 cells + correct aggregate dependency list
Live submission is operational work that needs cluster access to
verify; the rendered YAML follows the same conventions as the
existing argo-train.sh workflows that ship in this repo.

Decision-stride S lets a length-K sequence span ((K-1)*S + 1) raw
snapshots instead of K consecutive ones — expands the effective
time-window covered by each sequence at the same K-positions compute
cost. With K=64 and S=4, the window covers 256 ticks (~5s on ES MBP-10
at 20ms-tick) instead of 64 ticks (~1.3s).
Loader (crates/ml-alpha/src/data/loader.rs):
- `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig.decision_stride: usize` (default 1, must
pre-existing call sites add the new field).
- `next_sequence` reads snapshot at `anchor + k * stride`; labels at the
same indices (labels stay in absolute-snapshot horizons regardless of
stride, e.g. h=6000 always means "predict 6000 raw snapshots forward").
- `prev` snapshot for microstructure features (prev_mid, prev_ts_ns)
now points to the prior K-position (`anchor + (k-1)*stride`), NOT the
consecutive-snapshot prior, so `Δt = ts_ns - prev_ts_ns` carries the
actual elapsed time between K-positions (consumed by Mamba2's dt_s and
the planned Phase 2C TGN Fourier features).
- New `#[ignore]` real-data test: `loader_stride_4_yields_correct_spacing`
asserts Δt monotonicity at stride=4.
Mamba2 dt_s (crates/ml-alpha/src/trainer/perception.rs):
- `PerceptionTrainerConfig.decision_stride: usize` plumbs the stride
through. dispatch_train_step + evaluate_batched now use
`dt_s = decision_stride as f32` so Mamba2's selective scan
`exp(-dt * sigmoid(a))` reflects the real elapsed time. With stride=1
the behaviour is identical to before.
CLI (crates/ml-alpha/examples/alpha_train.rs):
- `--decision-stride <S>` flag (default 1) wired into both train and val
loaders + PerceptionTrainerConfig.
Argo workflow:
- `decision-stride` parameter on the template (default "1") +
`--decision-stride` script flag + propagation into the train pod's
alpha_train invocation.
Synthetic smoke (tests/perception_overfit.rs):
- `stacked_trainer_loss_shrinks_with_stride_4` proves the trainer-level
dt_s=4.0 keeps the Mamba2+LN+CfC+GRN chain numerically stable.
Converges 0.32 → 0.0000 (matches stride=1 smoke trajectory — dt_s
scaling didn't break the SSM dynamics).

mhzs7 reported val mean_auc=0.726 on 3a196382f — but the trainer
constructed both train and val MultiHorizonLoader with the SAME
`mbp10_root: cli.mbp10_data_dir`. The two loaders only differed by
seed. So val sequences were held-out-by-anchor from the same files
train sampled from; not temporally OOS. Per
`pearl_single_window_oos_is_not_oos.md` a single-window result that
doesn't enforce time-ordered separation can collapse across true
walk-forward folds.
Refactor: drop `mbp10_root` from `MultiHorizonLoaderConfig` (which
forced caller to share the dir between train and val). New API takes
an explicit `files: Vec<PathBuf>` — the loader preserves the order
given and does no internal shuffle, so callers control temporal
ordering. Added `discover_mbp10_files_sorted(root)` helper that
enumerates a dir and sorts by filename (chronological under the
`ES.FUT_<YEAR>-Q<n>.dbn.zst` convention).
alpha_train.rs splits the discovered files by 3 new CLI flags:
--cv-fold <k> (default 0)
--cv-n-folds <N> (default 1 — single fold)
--cv-train-window <W> (default 0 — auto)
Single-fold default (cv_n_folds=1): train on all files except the
last, val on the last file. This replaces the old "same files for
both" bug; even runs that don't think about CV now get a temporal
split by default.
Sliding-window CV (cv_n_folds > 1): fold k trains on files
[k..k+W] and validates on file [k+W]. With 9 quarterly files
(2024-Q1..2026-Q1) and `--cv-n-folds 3`, the natural layout is:
fold 0: train 2024-Q1..2024-Q4 (W=4) → val 2025-Q1
fold 1: train 2024-Q2..2025-Q1 → val 2025-Q2
fold 2: train 2024-Q3..2025-Q2 → val 2025-Q3
blind holdout: 2025-Q4, 2026-Q1
Threaded the flags through scripts/argo-alpha-perception.sh and
infra/k8s/argo/alpha-perception-template.yaml so each fold submits
as an independent workflow.
Updated tests/multi_horizon_loader.rs to the new API:
loader_yields_seq_with_valid_labels — exercises discover + load.
loader_errors_on_empty_files — replaces missing-root test.
discover_errors_on_missing_root — pinpoints the discover step.
Honors:
- feedback_no_partial_refactor.md — every consumer migrated atomically.
- feedback_no_legacy_aliases.md — no `mbp10_root` shim left behind.

cnjfl evidence: val_loss and mean_auc disagree.
val_loss best at e3 (0.5592)
mean_auc best at e4 (0.7670 — new h300 + h6000 peaks)
For downstream trading, ranking quality (AUC) matters more than
probability calibration (BCE loss). New default is mean_auc-based
early stopping, but val_loss/none remain selectable.
AUC is noisier than loss epoch-to-epoch (1-2pt bounces are common
even when long-horizon AUCs are still drifting up under
auto-horizon-weights), so patience defaults bump from 3 → 5.
CLI: --early-stop-metric {val_loss|mean_auc|none} default mean_auc
--early-stop-patience N default 5
Argo template parameters added with matching defaults.

Adds two new workflow parameters with backward-compatible defaults
(batch-size=1, auto-horizon-weights=false) so existing submissions
behave identically. Both flags are forwarded to alpha_train CLI.

alpha_train --seed is clap-typed as u64, and clap's default u64
parser only accepts decimal digits. Previous default "0x4242"
hit "invalid digit found in string" at startup.
Replace with decimal equivalent 16962 (= 0x4242) in both the
submission script default and the workflow template default.
Long-term: could add a custom clap value_parser that accepts
hex/dec/oct prefixes, but for now decimal-only matches the
foxhunt convention in other CLIs (alpha_baseline, etc.).

Adds a tiny alpine pod (check-cache) that runs first on the platform
pool (no autoscaler delay, ~3 sec end-to-end) and probes the
training-data PVC for /data/bin/$SHA/alpha_train. Outputs:
- sha: short SHA used for binary cache keying
- cache: "hit" or "miss"
ensure-binary now has `when: cache == miss` — when the binary is
already cached for the current SHA, the entire ~4.8GB ci-builder
image pull + sccache compile cycle is skipped. Re-runs on the same
SHA now go straight from submission to training in ~30 seconds
instead of ~3 minutes.
train depends on check-cache + ensure-binary; sources the SHA from
check-cache's output (works whether ensure-binary ran or was
skipped — Argo treats `when:` skip as a satisfied dependency).
Submission script (scripts/argo-alpha-perception.sh) now pre-resolves
commit-sha=HEAD to an actual git SHA via `git rev-parse origin/<branch>`
before submission. This lets the alpine check-cache pod work without
installing git in the container.
Also removed the now-stale `ci-training-h100x2|ci-training-h100-sxm`
case branch from the SM-arch detection — those pools no longer exist

Argo WorkflowTemplate at infra/k8s/argo/alpha-perception-template.yaml
runs the stacked Mamba2 -> CfC -> heads PerceptionTrainer on a single
L40S in fr-par-2. Two-stage DAG:
ensure-binary (ci-compile-cpu pool, sccache-backed cargo build of
alpha_train example, SHA-keyed binary cache under
/data/bin/$SHORT_SHA/)
train (ci-training-l40s pool, runs the cached binary against
/data/futures-baseline/mbp10 with predecoded sidecar
cache at /feature-cache/predecoded, writes
alpha_train_summary.json to
/feature-cache/alpha-perception-runs/$SHA/)
Defaults mirror the validated synthetic-overfit smoke config:
epochs=5, seq_len=32, mamba2_state_dim=16, lr_cfc=3e-3,
lr_mamba2=1e-3, n_train_seqs=8000, n_val_seqs=1000, seed=0x4242
Submission script scripts/argo-alpha-perception.sh wraps argo submit
with the standard L40S/H100 cuda-compute-cap mapping. --watch
follows logs.
Workflow nodeSelector pinned to fr-par-2 (consistent with the cluster
topology constraint). ttlStrategy 1h after completion;
activeDeadlineSeconds 4h cap (well above expected ~30-90 min wall).
This is the cluster entrypoint for the stacked perception design.
Once it lands a summary on MinIO, the gate runner (alpha_gate, Task
17) can consume it.

Two complementary additions to validate the minute-horizon alpha
hypothesis at IBKR-realistic costs:
1. `alpha_baseline --decision-stride N`: emits a new action every N
steps; between decisions force action=0 (wait) so an open position
is held rather than re-decided per bar. Cuts per-bar trade counts
~stride× and removes the coin-flip overtrading. Local 2Q sweep
showed stride=200 + scaled training (8K episodes × 25 envs × H=1200)
flipped Sharpe at ¼-tick from -4.29 (per-bar, 3-fold mean) to +1.78,
with std collapsing from ±8.8 to ±1.15. Break-even cost moved from
<¼-tick to ~1-tick — for the first time positive at IBKR-realistic
passive-execution frictions.
2. `alpha_train_stacker --max-rows N`: optional cap on bars consumed
from the fxcache. Used during local 2Q smoke (--max-rows 4M against
the 17.8M-row 9Q fxcache) to fit Mamba2 training on a 4 GB consumer
GPU; on the cluster (--no-cap) it sees all 9Q.
3. New Argo workflow `alpha-cv`: standalone template that compiles
alpha_train_stacker + alpha_baseline + alpha_fill_coeffs.json,
trains the stacker on the 9Q fxcache, then runs 9 sequential
walk-forward folds of alpha_baseline on disjoint 1.9M-bar windows
(one per quarter). Launcher script `scripts/argo-alpha-cv.sh`
mirrors argo-train.sh conventions.
The local 2Q test that motivated this commit is summarised inline in
the alpha-cv template comments; the verdict was "framing was the bug —
once decision cadence matches the multi-minute alpha horizon, the
strategy is positive at IBKR commission".

Rename binary alpha_compose_backtest → alpha_baseline and remove the
boolean flags whose features are now mandatory:
--c51 (always C51 distributional Q)
--temporal (always Mamba2 temporal encoder)
--isv-continual (controller always fires per eval episode)
--regime-scale (vol-EMA regime defense always on)
--pruned-actions (FALSIFIED 2026-05-15 per pearl_action_pruning_falsified)
Every dependent code path was stripped, not just gated:
- Linear-Q kernels (lq_fwd, lq_grad, munch_kernel) and their cubin loads
are gone — C51 is the only Q-network.
- Single-env push_kernel / h_store_kernel loads removed; the backtest
has been batched-parallel-env since T14 and only the _batched
variants are called here. (The smoke binary still uses single-env
variants because one env per episode is its job.)
- Dead transition buffers removed: states_dev, next_states_dev,
actions_dev, rewards_dev, dones_dev, q_current_dev, q_next_dev,
target_dev, single_state_dev, single_q_dev, probs_current_dev,
probs_next_dev, m_dev, single_probs_dev, single-env state_pinned,
action_pinned, window_tensor, h_enriched_buf_dev.
- Dead constants and helpers: PRUNED_ACTIONS, N_WEIGHTS, N_BIASES,
epsilon_greedy, epsilon_greedy_gated.
End-to-end verification on the existing Q1 fxcache (rebuild was OOM
locally; full multi-quarter validation is the next phase):
cost=0.0000 best τ=0.250 Sharpe_ann=+36.83 win=0.984 trades/ep=83.3
cost=0.0625 best τ=0.250 Sharpe_ann=+38.53 win=0.996 trades/ep=83.2
cost=0.1250 best τ=0.250 Sharpe_ann=+38.37 win=0.994 trades/ep=83.3
cost=0.2500 best τ=0.250 Sharpe_ann=+34.24 win=0.990 trades/ep=85.6
cost=0.5000 best τ=0.250 Sharpe_ann=+31.83 win=0.946 trades/ep=84.8
Numbers track the prior T16-flag config (within stochastic noise),
confirming the conditional-stripping was a pure simplification — no
behavioral change, just a smaller, honester binary.
Also updated:
- scripts/alpha_pipeline.sh — A/B conditions collapse to fixed-cost
vs cost-randomized training (the only opt-in left).
- scripts/walk_forward_cv.sh — drop legacy flags, pass --window-k only.
- crates/ml/src/env/loaders.rs — module doc-comment updated.

- New scripts/alpha_pipeline.sh: orchestrates the 2-quarter validation
after fxcache lands. Auto-discovers the Q1+Q2 fxcache (newest
.fxcache excluding the known Q1-only hash), trains
alpha_train_stacker on it, then sweeps 4 conditions
(baseline / +cost-rand / +regime-scale / +both) × 3 walk-forward
folds, aggregating mean ± stddev Sharpe per cost across folds.
No phase prefixes in name or contents — the script is meant to
outlive any single milestone.
- scripts/build_2q_fxcache.sh: fix staging layout so MBP-10 / trades
/ OHLCV symlinks live in the symbol subdir (`mbp10/ES.FUT/...`)
that precompute_features expects. Previous flat-layout build
aborted with "MBP-10 directory not found: .../mbp10/ES.FUT".

Adds two coupled interventions on the regime fragility exposed by
walk-forward CV (mean Sharpe +27 ± 56 at half-tick across 3 folds —
std-dev ≈ mean means the strategy is regime-dependent).
(1) Vol-EMA regime detector (new ISV slots 549/550)
- New alpha_regime_vol_update.cu kernel: per inference step, reads B
parallel-env mid prices, computes cross-env mean squared log-return,
and maintains ISV[549]=REGIME_VOL_EMA (Wiener-α with 0.4 floor +
Pearl A bootstrap) and ISV[550]=REGIME_VOL_REF (slow tracker β=0.005,
≈200-step horizon).
- Block-tree-reduce (no atomicAdd), guards against zero/non-finite mids.
(2) Pre-emptive Kelly attenuation (modified stacker controller)
- stacker_threshold_controller.cu takes 3 new args: regime_vol_ema_idx,
regime_vol_ref_idx, regime_scale_floor.
- Multiplies its reactive Sharpe-error Kelly output by
regime_scale = clamp(vol_ref / vol_ema, 0.25, 1.0)
- Disabled when indices = -1 (backward-compatible smoke + kernel test).
(3) Cost-aware training (--train-cost-hi)
- alpha_compose_backtest --train-cost-hi: when > --train-cost, each
training epoch samples cost ~ U[lo, hi] so the Q-network learns
cost-conservative behaviour across the realistic ES range.
(4) Wiring
- alpha_compose_backtest --regime-scale enables both per-step regime
kernel firing during eval AND the regime hookup in the per-episode
controller call. Mapped-pinned mids buffers, all compute device-side.
- ExecutionEnv exposes current_mid() so the host gather reads the
active snapshot mid per env without leaking the private cursor field.
Smoke + test sites pass -1/-1 for regime indices (backward compat).
Doc: docs/isv-slots.md ledger for slots 549/550.

Adds a sliding-window walk-forward harness for the T10 backtest:
- New load_snapshots_from_fxcache_at(start_offset, ...) loader variant
reads bars [start_offset..start_offset+max_snapshots) from the fxcache.
Alpha-cache lookups use absolute bar indices, so the same
alpha_logits_cache.bin works across folds.
- New --data-start-offset CLI flag on alpha_compose_backtest.
- scripts/walk_forward_cv.sh runs 3 folds (window=700K, train_frac=0.6)
at offsets 0 / 600K / 1.2M, producing /tmp/cv_fold_{A,B,C}.json plus
an aggregated mean±stddev Sharpe table across folds.
Walk-forward result (alpha_logits_cache trained on bars 0..1.57M, so
fold C eval is fully past the stacker cut):
cost fold-A fold-B fold-C mean ± stddev
0.0000 +91.52 -21.44 +46.74 +38.94 ± 56.88
0.0625 +84.94 -27.97 +38.42 +31.79 ± 56.74
0.1250 +79.91 -31.22 +33.51 +27.40 ± 55.82
0.2500 +72.77 -45.41 +15.16 +14.17 ± 59.09
0.5000 +50.52 -59.82 -12.75 -7.35 ± 55.37
Fold B (mid-quarter, bars 600K..1.3M) is a disaster — win rate
collapses to 0-22% across all costs. Folds A and C succeed strongly.
Cross-fold SD ≈ mean, so the policy is regime-dependent and cannot
be reliably deployed without regime detection.
Mean Sharpe at half-tick (+27.40) is still ~7× the stateless
Phase 1d.4 baseline (-4.0), so the temporal encoder adds real value
on average — but the single-window +62 OOS celebrated earlier was
a cherry-picked favorable regime, not a deployment-ready result.

SP-chain training has been standardising on L40S since 2026-05-09, but
every invocation required an explicit `--gpu-pool ci-training-l40s`
override. The 2026-05-04 train-mnpf7 incident (sm_90 cubins deployed
to an L40S device, then resubmitted with the explicit override) was
the last incident in a long line of "forgot the pool flag" friction.
`feedback_default_to_l40s_pool.md` codified the user preference; this
commit lands the default in the actual invocation paths.
Changes:
- infra/k8s/argo/train-template.yaml: gpu-pool default H100 → L40S
- infra/k8s/argo/train-multi-seed-template.yaml: same + cuda-compute
-cap default 90 → 89
- scripts/argo-train.sh: docstring / --help / compute-cap fallback
case all flip to L40S as the bare default; H100 becomes opt-in via
`--gpu-pool ci-training-h100` for 80 GB / sm_90 workloads
- scripts/argo-test.sh: --help text aligned
Other architectural defaults (data-source=mbp10 per
feedback_mbp10_mandatory; imbalance-bar-threshold=20.0 per the 2026-
05-10 OOM-prevention fix) are already correct in the template.
Verified via `argo-train.sh dqn --branch sp20-aux-h-fixed --sha HEAD
--baseline --dry-run` — rendered workflow shows cuda-compute-cap=89,
no explicit gpu-pool override (template default L40S in effect).

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.

## Two architectural cleanups, both surfaced by the wgdc8 experiment
### Part 1: volume_bar_size in cache key
Mirrors the imbalance_bar_threshold/ewma_alpha fix from `f7718b376`. The
volume bar size constant (100 contracts/bar) was previously hardcoded and
not in the fxcache key. Tuning it would have hit the same fossilization
bug as imbalance_bar_threshold did pre-fix.
Changes:
- `Hyperparams.volume_bar_size: u64` field added (default 100, matches
`DEFAULT_VOLUME_BAR_SIZE` for backwards compat).
- TrainingProfile loader reads `volume_bar_size` TOML key.
- `calculate_dbn_cache_key_full` signature 7 → 8 args. Hashed via
`to_le_bytes()`. Test `test_cache_key_includes_volume_bar_size`
added; passes alongside the 5 existing tests.
- 4 callers updated atomically (per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`):
`discover_and_load`, `data_loading.rs:146`, `train_baseline_rl.rs:599`,
`precompute_features.rs:259,720`.
- `data_loading.rs:279` now passes `self.hyperparams.volume_bar_size`
to `build_volume_bars` instead of the hardcoded `DEFAULT_VOLUME_BAR_SIZE`.
- New `--volume-bar-size` CLI arg on both binaries (default 100).
- New Argo workflow params `volume-bar-size` (default "100") and
`data-source` (default "mbp10") on both `train-template.yaml` and
`train-multi-seed-template.yaml`. Threaded into precompute + trainer
invocations.
- `scripts/argo-train.sh` exposes `--volume-bar-size <n>` and
`--data-source <s>` for ad-hoc overrides.
### Part 2: OFI front-month filter (latent bug fix)
`crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs:539-557` (the OFI/VPIN/Kyle's
Lambda computation branch when MBP-10 + trades data is available) was
loading trades unfiltered for per-bar microstructure feature computation.
The volume bar formation path filters front-month per-file (line 354), but
the OFI path did not.
Effect pre-fix: during contract rollover windows (e.g., ESZ24 → ESH25),
OFI per-bar microstructure features included trades from BOTH contracts
simultaneously, distorting VPIN, Kyle's Lambda, and trade imbalance
signals. Severity in production: small (front-month dominates ES.FUT
volume by 10-100×) but real and present in every prior MBP-10+trades
production run.
Fix: mirror the per-file `filter_front_month` call from the volume bar
path. Volume bar formation and OFI computation now both see the same
in-month trade tape. Added log line shows raw vs filtered count per file
for transparency.
## Why bundled
Both fixes touch trade-data plumbing in `precompute_features.rs` and the
fxcache key contract. Per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`, related
architectural cleanups land atomically. Both surfaced from the same
wgdc8 audit; bundling avoids two cache-key-invalidating commits in
sequence (each would force full fxcache regen).
## Compatibility
- `volume_bar_size` defaults to 100 → existing wgdc7-equivalent runs
reproduce, but with a *new* fxcache key (the f7718b376-era cache file
is unreachable; harmless, can GC manually).
- OFI fix is strictly more correct; no opt-out needed. Existing models
trained on contaminated OFI features may show slight feature
distribution drift on first cache regen — expected, not a regression.
- `data_source = "ohlcv"` Argo param now possible; routes precompute
through volume bar branch directly. wgdc8 experiment uses this to test
bar resolution sensitivity at volume_bar_size=500 (5× DEFAULT).
Tests: 6/6 feature_cache tests pass. Workspace + examples compile clean.

## The bug (audit 2026-05-09)
`crates/ml/src/feature_cache.rs:calculate_dbn_cache_key_full` hashed only
`(symbol, data_source, dbn_filenames+sizes)` — NOT `imbalance_bar_threshold`
or `imbalance_bar_ewma_alpha`. Combined with `precompute_features.rs:346`
unconditionally calling `build_volume_bars` regardless of `data_source`,
this meant:
1. 14 audited production runs (Apr 11–May 8) all collided on the same
fxcache key (`a3f933aa...` / `c07c960a...`) regardless of TOML
`imbalance_bar_threshold` value
2. The imbalance-bar code path was reachable only via fxcache MISS, which
never happens in production because `ensure-fxcache` always populates
first
3. Every "tuning" of `imbalance_bar_threshold` across 16+ SP runs was a
silent no-op — the system was actually running volume bars at
DEFAULT_VOLUME_BAR_SIZE (100 contracts/bar)
## The fix (this commit)
**Part A — cache key includes bar formation params:**
- `calculate_dbn_cache_key_full` signature: 5 args → 7 args. Two new f64
params hashed via `to_le_bytes()`.
- 4 callers updated atomically (per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`).
- 2 new unit tests (`test_cache_key_includes_bar_threshold`,
`test_cache_key_includes_bar_alpha`) pin the contract.
**Part B — precompute_features actually USES data_source:**
- New CLI args `--imbalance-bar-threshold` (default 0.5) and
`--imbalance-bar-ewma-alpha` (default 0.1) on both train_baseline_rl
and precompute_features.
- `precompute_features.rs:346` now branches: when
`data_source == "mbp10"` AND `mbp10_data_dir.is_some()`, calls
`mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` instead of `build_volume_bars`.
**Argo plumbing:**
- `train-template.yaml` + `train-multi-seed-template.yaml`: new workflow
parameters threaded into BOTH precompute and trainer invocations so
both compute the same fxcache key.
- `scripts/argo-train.sh`: new CLI flags for ad-hoc overrides.
- ensure-fxcache regen path: removed `rm -f /feature-cache/*.fxcache`
(with bar-params now in key, parallel experiments coexist).
## Effects going forward
- Tuning `imbalance_bar_threshold` actually changes bar density
- Configuring `data_source = "mbp10"` actually produces imbalance bars
- Multiple parallel experiments at different thresholds coexist on PVC
- `dqn-production.toml: imbalance_bar_threshold = 0.5` no longer ignored
Default values match prior production behavior → existing wgdc7-equivalent
runs reproduce, just with a *new* fxcache key (the old volume-bar cache
file is still on disk but won't be hit; harmless, can GC manually).
Audit-doc: `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md` updated with full context.
Tests: 5/5 feature_cache tests pass, full workspace + examples compile clean.

Phase 1 Tasks 1.1 + 1.2 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-08-sp18-reward-shape-hold-attractor.md.
Per the plan's audit-first design: surface every live reference to the
SP13/SP16 Hold-cost-scale chain (D-leg) and the TD(λ) `q_next = rewards`
self-bootstrap (B-leg) BEFORE atomic deletion. This catches the SP17-style
"missed quantile_q_select consumer" failure mode where a sweeping refactor
left a dangling reference that compiled but broke at runtime.
What lands
- `scripts/audit_sp18_consumers.sh` — 17-section grep that walks every
consumer pattern from the plan's locked checklist (D-leg slot 380,
461, [462..468) HCS_*, hold_cost_scale_update kernel, hold_rate_observer
kernel retained chain, build.rs cubin manifest, state_layout.cuh
mirror constants, state_reset_registry entries, plus B-leg
td_lambda_kernel launch sites, q_next origin, rewards_out consumers,
PER priority sites, replay buffer schema, c51_loss target-Q origin,
target_params_buf consumers, PopArt slot 63 references). Three modes:
default (full grep output), `--fingerprint` (per-section per-file hit
count for diff-able snapshots), `--check` (diff fingerprint vs locked
snapshot in docs/sp18-wireup-audit.md, exit 1 on drift).
- `docs/sp18-wireup-audit.md` — Phase 1 Task 1.1 outcome with two
sections of import:
1. The plan's locked checklist (8 entries the plan author explicitly
identified as deletion targets).
2. The 10 ADDITIONAL CONSUMERS surfaced by the audit (A1-A10) that
the plan-author missed. Per the task input's halt-on-drift
directive, Phase 1 Tasks 1.3-1.5 (atomic deletion) are HALTED
pending human review of the expanded scope. The audit doc is the
spec-amendment record.
3. A locked fingerprint snapshot the pre-commit hook uses for drift
detection on subsequent commits.
B-leg verification confirms B-DD4 (no PER migration) + B-DD1 (target_
params_buf reusable) + the single q_next bootstrap site at
gpu_experience_collector.rs:4143.
- `scripts/pre-commit-hook.sh` — Invariant 7 list extended with the new
audit doc; new `check_sp18_consumer_audit` step runs the audit script
in `--check` mode whenever a commit touches the chain files
(experience_kernels.cu, hold_*_kernel.cu, state_layout.cuh, sp1[3-8]_
isv_slots.rs, gpu_dqn_trainer.rs, gpu_aux_trunk.rs, gpu_experience_
collector.rs, state_reset_registry.rs, training_loop.rs, build.rs,
sp1[3-8]_oracle_tests.rs). Drift triggers a hook failure with a
pointer to the regeneration command. This is a generalisation of
Invariant 7 and addresses Open Q-B from the spec (audit-as-pre-commit
hook for SP-chain consumer drift).
Findings (HALT trigger)
The audit found 10 consumers NOT in the plan's locked 8-site checklist:
A1 — gpu_aux_trunk.rs:1240-1323 HoldCostScaleUpdateOps struct + impl
(84 lines; the plan said launcher was in gpu_dqn_trainer but the
real struct/impl lives in gpu_aux_trunk; trainer just has a thin
forwarding method)
A2 — sp14_oracle_tests.rs:2174-2920 11 GPU oracle tests (~750 lines)
directly exercising the deleted kernel via include_bytes!
(sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_climbs_with_overrun + 10 others)
A3 — training_loop.rs:8971-9043 7 dispatch arms in reset_named_state
(slot 461 + HCS_* slots 462-467); contract test
every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm requires
atomic deletion alongside registry entries
A4 — gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:23200-23216 constructor block writing
HOLD_COST_BASE to slot 380 (RETAINED per DD7c, comment requires
update)
A5 — gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:617, 2245-2256 doc-block prose
A6 — sp13_isv_slots.rs:75-77 HOLD_COST_CONTROLLER_GAIN/FLOOR/CEIL
constants (HOLD_COST_BASE retained for A4)
A7 — gpu_experience_collector.rs:5579-5585 stale comment doc-ref
A8 — sp5_isv_slots.rs:325-327 comment doc-ref
A9 — state_reset_registry.rs:1138-1271 7 already-RETIRED entries
promote to FULL DELETION
A10 — state_reset_registry.rs:2256-2308 lock_sp18_v2_pp4_retired_chain
contract test asserts retired entries STILL EXIST; must be
deleted/rewritten when entries are removed
None of these are architectural surprises — they're straight extensions
of the atomic-deletion scope. But per the task input's halt-on-drift
directive ("If your audit surfaces ANY additional consumer, halt and
report — do NOT proceed with deletion ad-hoc"), Phase 1 Tasks 1.3-1.5
HALT pending human sign-off on the expanded scope.
Path forward (next phase)
Either expand the atomic-deletion commit scope to cover all 18 sites
(8 plan + 10 audit-surfaced) — recommended per `feedback_no_partial_
refactor`; the audit doc serves as the spec-amendment record — or
human-review the audit doc and explicitly approve/reject each A* entry.
The audit doc + script + hook are the pre-condition for either path
and ship together as Tasks 1.1 + 1.2 of Phase 1. Tasks 1.3-1.6 await
human go-ahead.
Branch is at INTERIM STATE: NOT runnable for L40S smoke between this
commit and the post-Phase-1.6 close-out. The interim is purely-additive
(audit script + hook + doc); the actual deletion that creates the
"3 reward sites missing Hold cost" interim from the plan's Task 1.5
has NOT yet been performed.

While P0b smoke (train-sw4ws on bdc5cb8bb) runs, two prep items:
(A) scripts/argo-train.sh — add `ci-training` to the L40S sm_89 case
arm. Bare `ci-training` is an L40S pool alias in some clusters;
previously defaulted to sm_90 (Hopper), causing train-mnpf7 to
deploy with wrong-arch cubins (terminated + resubmitted manually).
Now both `*l40s*` and bare `ci-training` resolve correctly.
(C) docs/superpowers/plans/...sp13...md — Layer B section expanded
with concrete codebase locations discovered during P0a:
- aux_heads_kernel.cu, aux_heads_loss_ema_kernel.cu locations
- aux_nb_label_buf populated as column 0 of next_states (log_return)
- F1/F2 regression history note (don't alias the label buffer)
- aux_pred_to_isv_tanh_kernel.cu is a P0a placeholder per its own
header — Layer B should rewrite to read softmax logit-diff
- dir_acc kernel + oracle tests need softmax-read updates
- Layer B + P0b combined rationale post-P0a empirics
Saves the next implementer ~30 min of re-investigation.

Two related changes installing the structural guard against the SP6 Pearl 5
IQN τ failure mode (root cause fixed at facbf76eb for that one site) and
removing the only remaining orphan callers of the broken pattern.
The bug class. The mapped_pinned::{upload,clone_to_device}_{f32,i32}_via_pinned
helpers are named to suggest "no HtoD per feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned"
but their bodies do MappedXBuffer::new() + memcpy_dtod_async() +
stream.synchronize(). The DtoD copy and synchronize are both forbidden
inside CUDA Graph capture (CUDA_ERROR_STREAM_CAPTURE_INVALIDATED) and add a
host stall otherwise. The canonical pattern is MappedXBuffer stored directly
+ write_from_slice + kernel reads via .dev_ptr, used by SP4 portfolio_state
and SP6 IQN τ at facbf76eb.
Guard. New check_no_dtod_via_pinned in pre-commit-hook.sh rejects any
staged .rs file calling upload_(f32|i32)_via_pinned or
clone_to_device_(f32|i32)_via_pinned, except mapped_pinned.rs itself. Per
feedback_no_hiding: no suppression marker. Also fixes a pre-existing
silent-skip bug: the gpu-hotpath-guard.sh invocation used
$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd) which resolved to .git/hooks/ (the symlink's
directory) instead of scripts/, so the guard never ran. Replaced with
readlink -f "$0" + an explicit "guard missing" error branch — silent skip
is worse than no guard.
Orphan deletion. gpu_her.rs carried legacy relabel_batch, generate_random_donors
(CPU), HerBatch, slice_clone_f32, slice_clone_i32 — zero production callers
(verified via grep). Production uses relabel_batch_with_strategy +
generate_random_donors_gpu. The orphan held the only upload_i32_via_pinned
callers in the codebase; per feedback_no_hiding the right fix is delete.
Scope. Eliminates 2 of 47 production *_via_pinned call sites. Remaining 45
across 14 files are cold-path init — graph-capture-fragile and host-stalling
but not breaking operationally. Guard enforces no new calls; existing 45
migrate in subsequent atomic per-buffer commits. After all 45 are converted,
the four helpers themselves get deleted from mapped_pinned.rs.
Validation. Smoke smoke-test-82fjk at facbf76eb succeeded — magnitude
differentiation restored (q_full=0.462 > q_half=0.409 > q_quarter=0.350 vs
baseline frozen Pascal-triangle 0.225/0.280/0.495), eval distribution
unfrozen (eq=0.596, eh=0.404, ef=0.000 vs baseline single-action collapse).

The L40S smoke template uses CARGO_TARGET_DIR=/cargo-target on a
persistent PVC, so every smoke probe builds incrementally on top of
artefacts left by prior probes. File deletions (e.g., regime_conditional.rs
in ff00af68a) can leave dangling rmeta/object references that perturb
downstream codegen between bisect runs — making the bisect result
contingent on which order probes were submitted in, not on the source.
Adds an optional `clean-cache` parameter (default `false`) which runs
`cargo clean -p ml -p ml-dqn --release` before the compile step. Other
crate artefacts (ml-core, ml-supervised, etc.) stay cached so the wipe
is bounded — fresh ml/ml-dqn compile in ~3-5 min vs ~30+ min full clean.
Use case: re-running a52d99613 + ff00af68a with `--clean-cache` to
verify the bisect under controlled build conditions. If the
broken/clean status flips with clean cache, the regression is
build-state-dependent rather than source-line; if it reproduces, the
source regression is real and bisect is definitive.
scripts/argo-smoke.sh exposes `--clean-cache` flag passing through
to the workflow parameter.
Adds a no-wrapper L40S smoke runner alongside the nsys/sanitizer
templates. Same compile + checkout + data-mount layout, no profiler
binary, no sanitizer instrumentation, no MinIO artefact upload — just
a plain test execution against the full training-data PVC.
Use case: validate a smoke test passes on the real 27-month dataset
when local data is too short (laptop only has 1 quarter of MBP-10/
trades, fxcache truncates below the 10-month minimum).
- infra/k8s/argo/smoke-test-template.yaml: WorkflowTemplate
smoke-test, entrypoint smoke-run, default test
multi_fold_convergence::test_multi_fold_convergence.
- infra/k8s/argo/kustomization.yaml: register the new template.
- infra/k8s/argo/argo-workflow-netpol.yaml: extend the
sanitizer/nsys NetworkPolicy podSelector to include smoke-test
(identical egress requirements: git fetch, ci-builder pull,
training-data PVC).
- scripts/argo-smoke.sh: thin wrapper mirroring argo-nsys.sh /
argo-sanitizer.sh (--multi-fold default, --test, --ref, --watch).
Verified: kustomize dry-run clean, kubectl apply -k creates the
template + reconfigures the netpol live in foxhunt namespace.
The original target 'foxhunt-training-artifacts' (cloned from
train-multi-seed-template) does not exist on the cluster MinIO.
Available production buckets: foxhunt-models, foxhunt-training-data,
foxhunt-training-results, foxhunt-binaries, foxhunt-backups,
foxhunt-gitlab-{artifacts,packages,registry}.
foxhunt-training-results is the right home for profiling artefacts
(model evaluation outputs already land there). Upload path is now
foxhunt-training-results/profiles/smoke/<short-sha>/profile-<pod>.nsys-rep.
Note: train-multi-seed-template has the same bucket-name typo —
production --profile uploads have been silently failing. Out of scope
for this commit, separate fix needed there.
Two new one-shot WorkflowTemplates for validating smoke tests under
GPU-instrumentation tools that don't fit in the laptop's 4 GB VRAM:
- `sanitizer-test`: wraps cargo test smoke under `compute-sanitizer
--tool=memcheck|racecheck|synccheck|initcheck` with --target-processes all
so multi_fold_convergence's spawned `train_baseline_rl` subprocess is also
instrumented. Pre-builds train_baseline_rl example to avoid sanitizer
instrumenting cargo/rustc on the inner spawn. Triages internal-vs-real
errors and exits non-zero only on real bugs.
- `nsys-test`: wraps cargo test smoke under `nsys profile`. Captures CUDA +
NVTX + osrt traces with GPU metrics (ga10x set). Uploads .nsys-rep to
MinIO at foxhunt-training-artifacts/profiles/smoke/<short-sha>/, mirroring
the existing Plan 5 Task 3 production-training profile pattern in
train-multi-seed-template.
Wrapper scripts:
- scripts/argo-sanitizer.sh — `argo submit` wrapper, supports --multi-fold
shortcut for fold-boundary code paths (IQN sync, aux Adam reset,
iqn_readiness reset, MSE clamp) that single-fold tests cannot exercise.
- scripts/argo-nsys.sh — same shape as argo-sanitizer.sh, default test is
performance::test_real_data_single_epoch for broad coverage.
Why L40S: laptop RTX 3050 Ti's 4 GB cannot fit compute-sanitizer's
instrumentation metadata (~2-3x app VRAM) — sanitizer falls back to "didn't
track the launch" with 60k+ internal-allocation errors. L40S 48 GB has
ample headroom for both memcheck and nsys overhead.
Both templates compile cargo test --release --lib --no-run plus cargo build
--release --example train_baseline_rl on the cargo-target PVC. Compile time
dominated by sccache hit rate (production training image: 100% C/C++ cache,
~75% Rust cache after warmup).
Templates registered in kustomization.yaml — apply with `kubectl apply -k
infra/k8s/argo` before first submit.
The first L40S deploy attempt (workflow `train-multi-seed-z2llf`, terminated)
failed at startup with `error: unexpected argument '--fold' found` on every
job: `train_baseline_rl` is a multi-fold walk-forward executor that accepts
`--max-folds K`, NOT `--fold N`. The original P5T1 harness assumed the
opposite and fanned out N seeds × K folds = N*K jobs, each invoking the
binary with `--seed N --fold K`.
User chose Path B: pivot to one job per seed (each runs all K folds via the
existing `--max-folds` mechanism). Per-job runtime is K× longer, but fanout
drops from N*K=30 → N=5 (matches L40S pool capacity better) and the binary
contract becomes the one the binary actually has.
4 surface changes:
1. crates/ml/examples/train_baseline_rl.rs — add `--seed N` CLI arg
(default 42 — historic implicit value). Sets `FOXHUNT_SEED` env var at
startup BEFORE any CUDA module spins up. Logs the seed value at the
training start banner.
2. crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/mod.rs — add `global_seed()` (reads
`FOXHUNT_SEED`, default 42) + `mix_seed(base)` (SplitMix64 avalanche
so adjacent global seeds produce uncorrelated module seeds). Six call
sites updated to mix the global seed into their previously-hardcoded
constants:
- trainer/action.rs: GpuActionSelector seed (0xDEAD_BEEF_CAFE) + the
epsilon-greedy fallback StdRng (0xAC7_DEF0).
- cuda_pipeline/gpu_iqn_head.rs: IQN Xavier-init RNG (0x1CA_1234).
- cuda_pipeline/gpu_iql_trainer.rs: V(s) Xavier-init RNG (0x1C1_9ABC).
- cuda_pipeline/gpu_her.rs: random-donor RNG (0x4E4_5678).
- cuda_pipeline/gpu_ppo_collector.rs: rng_seeds Vec for PPO
experience-collector init + reset (0xAA0_5EED).
- trainer/training_loop.rs: per-epoch regime_dropout_seed.
3. infra/k8s/argo/train-multi-seed-template.yaml — drop `fold` parameter
from `train-single` template; binary invoked as `--seed "$SEED"
--max-folds {{workflow.parameters.folds}}` so the walk-forward sweep
happens inside the single training process. Drop `FOLD` env var. Update
the nsys-rep upload filename to drop the fold suffix. Update banners /
doc comments to reflect "one-job-per-seed" semantics.
4. scripts/argo-train.sh — matrix generator drops the inner fold loop.
Each emitted task carries only `seed=${s}` and depends on the same
ensure-fxcache + gpu-warmup. The dry-run synthetic marker switches from
`seed=${s} fold=${f}` to `seed=${s} max_folds=${FOLDS}` so test harnesses
count the new shape correctly.
5. scripts/tests/test_multi_seed_harness.sh — assertions updated:
- `--multi-seed 3 --folds 2` produces 3 tasks (was 6).
- Rendered binary command must include `--max-folds
{{workflow.parameters.folds}}` placeholder.
- Rendered template must declare `folds` workflow parameter (so
`argo submit -p folds=K` overrides the default).
- Rendered binary command must NOT contain any per-fold flag — this
catches the failure mode that broke the first L40S deploy.
- Backward-compat: `--multi-seed 1 --folds 1` preserves the existing
single-template path (no DAG matrix tasks emitted).
6. docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md — adds 1 Wired row documenting the pivot,
the new `--seed`/`mix_seed` plumbing, all 6 RNG call sites, and the
end-to-end seed-variation verification result.
Validation:
cargo check --workspace clean at 11 warnings (workspace baseline preserved).
cargo build --release --example train_baseline_rl succeeds; --help shows
the new --seed flag with documented default 42.
Seed-variation end-to-end test on RTX 3050 Ti (1 fold × 2 epochs each):
--seed 42 → F0 best Sharpe = -9.7831, best_val_metric = 1.957244,
epoch-2 train Sharpe = -16.12, val_Sharpe = +1.11.
--seed 999 → F0 best Sharpe = +92.9341, best_val_metric = 2.161012,
epoch-2 train Sharpe = +92.93, val_Sharpe = -0.25.
Different best Sharpe / best_val_metric / epoch-2 train + val Sharpe
across seeds proves the seed actually propagates through the RNG init
paths and is not just accepted-and-ignored. The seed=42 numbers match
the prompt's "deterministic baseline" expectation (F0 = -9.7831 was
bit-identical pre-pivot because no global-seed plumbing existed).
./scripts/argo-train.sh dqn --multi-seed 5 --folds 6 --dry-run produces
exactly 5 WorkflowTask markers (train-s0..train-s4), each with
`--max-folds {{workflow.parameters.folds}}` in the binary invocation.
All 3 harness tests PASS:
- test_multi_seed_harness.sh: 5 PASS lines, exit 0.
- test_nsys_harness.sh: 4 PASS lines + ALL PASS, exit 0.
- test_tier_checks.sh: PASS overall (good-fixture passes, bad-fixture
surfaces expected check rejections), exit 0.
Backward compat: existing single-job `argo-train.sh` callers (no
`--multi-seed`, no `--folds`) route to the original `train-template.yaml`
unchanged. `--seed 42` is a no-op offset for the SplitMix64 mix at the call
sites — the trajectory shifts only when the user passes `--seed` explicitly,
matching the prompt's "default 42 (historic implicit value)" requirement.
L40S pool: argo-train.sh defaults `--gpu-pool ci-training-h100`; user passes
`--gpu-pool ci-training-l40s` at deploy time. No script default change
(per constraint 5).

Plan 5 Task 4 left every tier-2/tier-3 check failing with "metric missing
from aggregate" because the existing 'Validation backtest:' free-form log
line was not parseable by the aggregate-multi-seed-metrics.py block-keyed
parser. Phase A closes that gap end-to-end (CPU-only, no kernel touch):
* metrics.rs::compute_validation_loss — emit a new
HEALTH_DIAG[<epoch>]: val [sharpe=… sortino=… win_rate=…
max_drawdown=… trade_count=… calmar=…
omega_ratio=… total_pnl=… var_95=… cvar_95=…
trades_per_bar=… active_frac=… dir_entropy=…
sharpe_annualised=… profit_factor=…
window_bars=…]
block immediately after the existing 'Validation backtest:' line. All
16 keys derive from the existing GpuBacktestEvaluator WindowMetrics
reduction (no new GPU work):
- sharpe / sortino / win_rate / max_drawdown / total_trades /
calmar / omega_ratio / total_pnl / var_95 / cvar_95 / buy_count /
sell_count / hold_count come straight from m.*
- window_bars = buy + sell + hold (kernel tallies one direction
per bar)
- trades_per_bar = total_trades / window_bars
- active_frac = (buy + sell) / window_bars (kernel folds Hold AND
Flat into hold_count, so 'active' = bars where the policy chose
Short or Long — meets the Tier-2 'not always Hold' intent)
- dir_entropy = -Σ p ln p over the 3-bucket {short, hold-or-flat,
long} distribution. Documented limitation: max log(3) ≈ 1.099
vs spec's 4-bucket 0.8·log(4) ≈ 1.109 ceiling — tier2 dir_entropy
threshold is unreachable from this 3-bucket distribution; resolution
tracked in audit row.
- sharpe_annualised = m.sharpe alias (kernel already multiplies by
sqrt(bars_per_day · 252) at backtest_metrics_kernel:266)
- profit_factor = m.omega_ratio alias (kernel's omega computes
gain_sum/loss_sum at threshold 0, equivalent to per-step PF;
trade-level PF deferred — needs boundary-aware kernel work)
* mod.rs — adds last_val_metrics: Option<[f32; 14]> on DQNTrainer to
snapshot the WindowMetrics-derived values for downstream consumers
(smoke tests, future telemetry).
* constructor.rs — initialises the new field to None.
* aggregate-multi-seed-metrics.py — switches the block→key joiner from
'__' to '_' so 'val [sharpe=…]' surfaces as the bare 'val_sharpe'
aggregate key the tier check scripts and synthetic test fixtures
already expect. The pre-existing '__' joiner was an oversight in
Plan 5 Task 1B that was never validated against actual aggregator
output (the aggregator emitted 90 'block__key' metrics that nothing
consumed; the synthetic good_tier1.json / bad_tier1.json fixtures
were always shaped as 'val_sharpe', confirming the single-underscore
convention was intended). Renaming the 90 existing keys is safe — no
consumers had locked in on the '__' form.
* docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md — updates Plan 5 Task 4 row to reference
the now-landed wiring and adds a new row documenting the val [...]
HEALTH_DIAG block pipeline + aggregator joiner change + the deferred
4-bucket dir_dist + trade-level PF caveats.
Validation:
cargo check --workspace clean at 11 warnings.
multi_fold_convergence smoke (629s, 3 folds × 5 epochs on RTX 3050 Ti)
PASSES with 3/3 fold checkpoints. Per-fold best Sharpe: -9.78 / 42.46 /
88.18 (within smoke noise band — no perturbation from the additive
CPU-only HEALTH_DIAG line).
scripts/aggregate-multi-seed-metrics.py against /tmp/p5t5a-smoke.log
produces 3 streams (one per fold), 16 val_* keys all present:
val_sharpe, val_sharpe_annualised, val_sortino, val_win_rate,
val_max_drawdown, val_trade_count, val_calmar, val_omega_ratio,
val_total_pnl, val_var_95, val_cvar_95, val_trades_per_bar,
val_active_frac, val_dir_entropy, val_profit_factor, val_window_bars.
check_tier2.py / check_tier3.py rejection messages are now substantive
(threshold-based) rather than "missing key":
Tier 2: trades_per_bar PASS @ 0.0127; active_frac FAIL @ 0.058 (model
mostly Hold on 5-epoch smoke); dir_entropy FAIL @ 0.18 (within
documented 3-bucket vs 4-bucket caveat).
Tier 3: sharpe_annualised FAIL @ -0.25 (5-epoch smoke not converged);
win_rate skipped (192 trades ≤ 500 noise gate); profit_factor
FAIL @ 0.18 (untrained policy).
Real validation pass requires the L40S 60-epoch run (Phase C).
Deferred (out of T5 Phase A scope):
- val_dir_dist_{short,hold,long,flat} per-direction breakdown — kernel
intentionally collapses Hold+Flat for trade-cycle counting; Tier-2's
log(4) threshold needs either a kernel-level split or a 3-bucket
threshold tweak in check_tier2.py.
- Trade-level profit_factor (sum-winner-PnL / sum-loser-PnL) vs the
per-step omega-equivalent emitted here.
- avg_q_value bare-key aggregation — the metric is logged via separate
Prometheus + tracing paths but not inside any HEALTH_DIAG block; out
of T5 Phase A scope and pre-existing.
Creates scripts/validation/ with per-tier exit checks consuming the
aggregate JSON from scripts/aggregate-multi-seed-metrics.py (P5T1B):
check_tier1.py — convergence (std/mean ≤ 0.15 on val_sharpe /
avg_q_value / train_loss; avg_q_value max ≤ 500 fold-1 explosion
guard; placeholders for Q-saturation + hot-path-DtoH per spec).
check_tier2.py — behavioural (val_trades_per_bar ≥ 0.005,
val_active_frac > 0.2, dir argmax entropy > 0.8·log4 with
val_dir_entropy primary + val_dir_dist_* fallback).
check_tier3.py — profitability (val_sharpe_annualised > 1.0 with
val_sharpe per-bar fallback, val_win_rate ≥ 0.52 gated on
>500 trades, val_profit_factor mean ≥ 1.1 AND cross-seed std < 0.3).
check_all_tiers.py — subprocess wrapper, exits 0 only if all pass.
Stdlib-only (statistics / argparse / json / subprocess) — no new deps.
Defensive missing-metric handling: each check FAILs with an explanatory
message when its required aggregate key is absent rather than silently
passing, so missing HEALTH_DIAG metrics are surfaced loudly.
Test harness scripts/validation/tests/test_tier_checks.sh exercises
good + bad fixtures across all four scripts and against the wrapper.
Audit row added to docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md documenting the suite +
the deferred metrics list (val_trades_per_bar, val_active_frac,
val_dir_entropy/_dist_*, val_sharpe_annualised, val_win_rate,
val_profit_factor, val_trade_count) that HEALTH_DIAG must emit before
tiers 2/3 can ever PASS on real data — tracked for Plan 5 Task 5
pre-flight wire-up.

- argo-train.sh: --profile flag forces multi-seed render path so the
nsys wrapper + foxhunt-training-artifacts upload step are visible in
--dry-run YAML without cluster contact (test surface).
- train-multi-seed-template.yaml: new `profile` parameter (default
"false") gates the per-(seed, fold) `nsys profile
--capture-range=cudaProfilerApi` wrapper and the `mc cp` upload to
foxhunt-training-artifacts/profiles/<sha>/. mc binary fetched
on-demand (ci-builder image lacks it). MinIO creds optional —
upload warn-skips if absent.
- Dockerfile.foxhunt-training-runtime: install nsight-systems-cli
unpinned (pinning the stale 2024.4.1.61-1 from earlier plans
breaks builds when apt index advances).
- minio.yaml: add foxhunt-training-artifacts bucket to minio-init.
- compare-nsys-profiles.py: V0 regression detector — compares
cuda_gpu_kern_sum total_ns / epoch_count between two profiles;
exits 1 on >20% slowdown. NVTX per-epoch ranges deferred to T5.
- tests/test_nsys_harness.sh: dry-run grep test — verifies both
required strings appear when --profile is set, and that the
default (no --profile) path keeps profile=false in the rendered
template.
- dqn-wire-up-audit.md: Plan 5 Task 3 row added documenting the
harness + the baseline-capture deferral to T5.
Backward compat: test_multi_seed_harness.sh from P5T1 still PASS.
Adds the convergence guardrail: every per-epoch HEALTH_DIAG metric is
checked against the bands in config/metric-bands.toml; N consecutive
warn-band epochs emit a tracing::warn; 2N consecutive error-band epochs
return Err(CommonError::RegressionDetected{...}) cleanly from the
training loop, which propagates to the train_baseline_rl subprocess
exit code (no libc::raise — clean Rust error path).
Wire-points:
- New module: crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/monitoring.rs
- MetricBands {warn_low, warn_high, error_low, error_high}
- BandSettings {consecutive_epochs_for_warn, consecutive_epochs_for_error}
- MetricBandsRegistry: load_from_toml + update_and_check
- TerminationReason {RegressionWarn, RegressionError}
- NaN treated as out-of-band (consecutive++; never resets streak)
- Unknown metrics return None (silent OK per Invariant 7 audit)
- crates/common/src/error.rs: new CommonError::RegressionDetected variant
carrying {metric, value, band, consecutive}
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/constructor.rs: load
config/metric-bands.toml at trainer init; warn-only on missing file
(backward compat for environments without the config)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: harvest per-epoch
metrics (parallel emit alongside HEALTH_DIAG), feed each through
registry.update_and_check; on Some(TerminationReason::RegressionError)
emit final HEALTH_DIAG[N]: TERMINATED_BY_REGRESSION line and return Err
- services/trading_service/src/error.rs: minimal handler for the new
CommonError variant (existing pattern)
Validation:
- 8 unit tests in monitoring::tests pass (band logic, NaN, warn-only
behaviour, error-streak threshold, unknown-metric, invalid TOML)
- regression_detection GPU smoke (3.19s): trainer with intentionally
narrow train_loss error band [0, 1e-9] self-terminates at epoch 5
after 6 consecutive error-band epochs; final HEALTH_DIAG line emits
TERMINATED_BY_REGRESSION with metric/value/consecutive/band fields
- multi_fold_convergence smoke (650s, --release): all 3 folds train
to completion, all 3 checkpoints saved, no false-positive
termination on the populated metric bands. Per-fold best train
Sharpe: F0=-9.7831 (bit-baseline), F1=25.8272, F2=39.2687. F1/F2
on the lower end of observed noise distribution
({74.56, 61.10, 71.53, 25.83} for F1; {88.20, 61.57, 65.96, 39.27}
for F2) but training healthy throughout: aux clauses fire every
epoch, sharpe_ema recovers from F0 collapse (-9.78 → +14.8 by start
of F2), no regression detection trips.
config/metric-bands.toml populated for the metrics emitted by
HEALTH_DIAG today (avg_q_value, train_loss, val_sharpe, train_sharpe,
aux_next_bar_mse, aux_regime_ce, isv_* slot EMAs, sharpe_ema, etc.).
Bands derived from current cleanroom smoke + permissive defaults
where only one sample exists; populate-metric-bands-from-runs.py will
tighten them after Plan 5 Task 5's multi-seed pass produces real
distributions.
Constraints honoured: GPU-only in hot path (band check is CPU-side
post-HEALTH_DIAG, off the captured graph); no atomicAdd; no stubs;
no // ok: band-aids; no tuned constants beyond the toml-loaded bands;
no .unwrap() introduced; cargo check clean at 11 warnings (workspace
baseline preserved, plus ml-dqn pre-existing 1 warning).
Audit doc: new row added documenting monitoring.rs module, the
CommonError variant, the training_loop wire-point, and the design
choice that band-checks run AFTER HEALTH_DIAG emit (not before) so
the diag log already reflects the metric values that triggered any
termination.
Plan 5 T1 (multi-seed harness) landed at c6634254e+47c8b783c; T2
(this) gives the regression hard-stop that the multi-seed final
pass (T5) consumes to bail out early on bad seeds.

Companion to Plan 5 Task 1A (multi-seed Argo DAG). Adds the post-run
aggregation pipeline:
- scripts/gather-multi-seed-metrics.sh: thin wrapper that pulls Argo logs
for every workflow tagged foxhunt-tag=<tag>, concatenates them into
/tmp/all-logs-<tag>.txt, then dispatches to the Python aggregator.
- scripts/aggregate-multi-seed-metrics.py: stdlib-only HEALTH_DIAG parser.
Recognises both bare and JSON-envelope-wrapped HEALTH_DIAG[<epoch>]
lines, parses every <block>[<key=val> ...] segment, and emits per-
(epoch, metric_name) mean / std / median / min / max across streams
(where each stream is one (seed, fold) training run, attributed by
pod-name prefix when present, else by epoch-rewind detection — naive
epoch=0 trigger over-segments the multi-line per-epoch HEALTH_DIAG
output, fixed by requiring epoch < last_epoch to start a new stream).
Output JSON schema matches the plan example (top-level: tag,
multi_seed, folds, warmup_end_epoch, streams_seen, aggregates;
per-entry: epoch, mean, std, median, min, max, n_samples).
- scripts/aggregate-norm-stats.py: stdlib-only merger for
norm_stats_foldN_seedM.json files. Per-fold output collapses N seeds
into mean/median/std/std_dispersion arrays consumed by the
`evaluate` step's inference normaliser.
- scripts/requirements.txt: declares numpy/scipy/matplotlib for downstream
Plan 5 T4-T5 tier-validation/plotting scripts. The aggregators
themselves are stdlib-only (statistics module).
Smoke-validated on /tmp/p4t6-cleanroom-smoke.log: detects 3 streams
(matching the 3 fold runs in that log), 90 unique metrics, n_samples=3
per (epoch, metric), schema matches plan.

Adds the orchestration surface for Plan 5 Task 1 — Multi-Seed × Multi-Fold
Validation Harness:
- scripts/argo-train.sh: new --multi-seed N, --folds K, --tag T, --dry-run
flags. Default --multi-seed 1 --folds 1 routes to the existing
train-template.yaml (backward compat — existing callers unchanged). When
N>1 or K>1 the script renders train-multi-seed-template.yaml with an
inline-generated (seed, fold) matrix and either prints the YAML
(--dry-run) or applies + submits it.
- infra/k8s/argo/train-multi-seed-template.yaml: new WorkflowTemplate with
entrypoint multi-seed-matrix → ensure-binary, gpu-warmup, ensure-fxcache,
then N*K parallel train-single instances. Each train-single receives
seed/fold via inputs.parameters and forwards them to the training binary
via --seed/--fold CLI args + SEED/FOLD env vars. The dag.tasks placeholder
`# __MATRIX_TASKS__` is substituted programmatically by argo-train.sh
(awk) — no hand-written 30-task matrix.
- scripts/tests/test_multi_seed_harness.sh: dry-run regression test.
Asserts --multi-seed 3 --folds 2 emits 6 WorkflowTask markers AND
--multi-seed 1 --folds 1 emits zero (single-template path preserved).
Validation:
- argo lint --offline passes on both the source template and the rendered
3x2 / 5x6 outputs.
- test_multi_seed_harness.sh passes locally.
- Single-job dry-run still produces the unchanged train-template YAML.
Note: plan Step 0.1 pre-plan check expects ISV_TOTAL_DIM=72 and seven
ATTN_*_FOCUS_EMA_INDEX slots — both stale (Plan 4 landed
ISV_TOTAL_DIM=117 and the VSN_MAG_EMA / VSN_DIR_EMA / MAMBA2_RETENTION_EMA
slots instead). Plan 4 validation doc never landed (T8 deferred → Plan 5
T5). T1 is pure infrastructure that builds the harness consumed by T5,
so the stale pre-plan expectations do not block this commit.

Implements spec §4.A.2 structural layout fingerprint with tail placement
rather than head placement (spec alternative: §4.A.2 Step 5.3 alt).
Head placement (ISV[0..2)) was rejected because isv_signals[0] and [1]
are actively written by the isv_signal_update kernel (Q-drift EMA and
gradient-norm EMA). Shifting those would require updating every literal
reference in experience_kernels.cu — a larger change than warranted for
pure contract enforcement. Tail placement leaves all existing indices
intact, touches zero kernel .cu files, and fulfils the same design contract.
Key changes:
- ISV_LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_LO_INDEX = 37, HI_INDEX = 38 (u64 across 2×f32).
- LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT_CURRENT: u64 = FNV-1a of slot-list seed bytes.
Value: 0x85d4d76b578a7c17. Any slot change updates seed bytes,
which updates the hash automatically.
- Constructor writes fingerprint after zero-init; calls
check_layout_fingerprint() to self-verify before returning.
- check_layout_fingerprint(): reads pinned slots [37..39), recomposes u64,
fails-fast on mismatch with "retrain required" message.
- Error message does NOT mention migration as an option.
- Pre-commit hook rejects `fn migrate_isv|upgrade_isv` names — makes the
no-migration rule structurally enforced (check_no_isv_migrations).
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM: 37 → 39.
- Zero existing index shifts (no kernel literal sites affected).
- StateResetRegistry entry renamed ISV_SCHEMA_VERSION → ISV_LAYOUT_FINGERPRINT.
- ResetCategory::SchemaContract docstring updated to remove "migration" framing.
- docs/isv-slots.md: updated table + design note for tail placement.
Tests: state_reset_registry 3 unit tests pass with renamed entry.
cargo check -p ml clean (pre-existing warnings only).
Plan 1 Task 5. Spec §4.A.2 (tail-placement alternative).

Plan 1 Task 1. Creates the five audit docs plus config/metric-bands.toml
that track Invariants 2, 7, 8 per the DQN v2 spec, and extends the
pre-commit hook with two checks:
- component-adding commits must touch an audit doc (Invariant 7)
- added code may not contain TODO/FIXME/XXX/HACK/TBD/unimplemented!/
todo! markers (Invariant 9)
Tests: manually verified by staging a TODO-marked file; commit
rejected with the correct error message.

Script rewritten to use argo submit --from=wftmpl/train with
train-epochs=0 — runs ensure-binary + ensure-fxcache only.
Local test fxcache regenerated with FXCACHE_VERSION=2, OFI_DIM=20.

Add scripts/cuda-kernel-guard.sh — catches CPU/host leaks in .cu files:
printf, cudaMalloc/Free, host API calls, double-precision math (exp/log
instead of expf/logf), assert, file I/O. Filters comments and trailing
/* */ annotations. Zero false positives across 38 production kernels.
Extend gpu-hotpath-hook.sh to route .cu/.cuh files to the new guard.
Configure ruflo hooks in .claude/settings.json: pre-edit context loading,
post-edit pattern learning, post-command metrics, session-end persistence.
Fires for subagents too via Claude Code hook system.

The script only hashed .cu/.cuh in crates/ml/. Missed:
- build.rs changes (removing --use_fast_math → stale cubins cached)
- crates/ml-dqn/src/*.cu (replay buffer, seg tree kernels)
- crates/ml-core/src/cuda_autograd/*.cu
- crates/ml-ppo/src/cuda_nn/*.cu
Now hashes ALL kernel sources + ALL build.rs files. Any change to
nvcc flags or kernel source invalidates the entire PTX cache.

- Added scaleway_vpc_public_gateway + DHCP + gateway_network to TF
(was manually created, now codified with push_default_route=true)
- Added scripts/safe-node-replace.sh — one-at-a-time with DNS verification
- Added dns-bootstrap-policy.yaml — incident documentation + recovery procedure
- Bastion enabled (port 61000) for emergency SSH access
Prevention: NEVER replace all nodes at once. Use safe-node-replace.sh.

Root cause: shmem_max_in_dim only included trunk dims (state_dim,
shared_h1, shared_h2) but not head dims (value_h, adv_h). When
hidden_dim_base=32 made the trunk narrow while heads stayed at 128,
the BF16 weight tile for branch output (255×128=32640 BF16 elements)
overflowed the shared memory region (12288 BF16 elements). On H100
the overflow landed in unused-but-mapped hardware shmem (silent
corruption). On RTX 3050 (48KB physical shmem) it hit unmapped
memory → CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS.
Changes:
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: shmem_max_in_dim includes value_h/adv_h
- Remove all #[ignore] from smoke tests (feature_coverage,
training_stability, gpu_residency)
- Smoke tests use real .dbn data from test_data/ (hard error if missing)
- Remove synthetic_data() fallback — no fake data in tests
- GPU-direct DtoD training path (train_step_gpu, FusedTrainScalars)
- GPU-native PER priority update kernel (zero CPU readback)
- IQN dual-head integration (gpu_iqn_head.rs)
- BF16 dtype fixes across 6 model adapters
- Hyperopt 30D→31D (iqn_lambda)
- portfolio_transformer: unconditional BF16 (remove dead CPU branches)
- liquid/adapter: all tests use Cuda(0) directly
- Fix pre-existing gpu_kernel_parity_test.rs (stale args)
- Fix pre-existing evaluate_baseline.rs (removed fields)
