docs(sp22): smoke scope — α ACTIVE β DEAD (B6 not landed)
Auditing the β reward shaping path revealed a producer gap: - experience_kernels.cu:3614-3628 correctly computes r_aux_align from scale_β = isv_signals[537] - But slot 537 has NO PRODUCER — SP11 controller still emits 6 components (N_COMPONENTS=6.0f), Phase B6 extension to 7 components hasn't landed - → scale_β stays at alloc_zeros 0 → r_aux_align = 0 → β no-op Current smoke validates α atom-shift mechanism ONLY. β remains dormant. Updated verdict outcome table: WR-shift implies α works alone; WR-stable with dist-shift implies α active but β needed (land B6 next, ~1-2hr). Phase B6 scope documented (single-kernel edit to SP11 controller + launcher update for N_COMPONENTS). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α Phase C1 — collector W ptr setter
Wires the trainer's `w_aux_to_q_dir [4]` device pointer into the GpuExperienceCollector so rollout-time action selection sees the active atom-shift for the direction branch. Changes: - gpu_experience_collector.rs: new field aux_w_to_q_dir_dev_ptr (u64, default 0) + setter set_aux_w_to_q_dir_ptr(). Both rollout launchers (compute_expected_q + quantile_q_select) now pass W ptr + exp_states_f32 + STATE_DIM_PADDED instead of NULL placeholders. NULL-safe via the kernels' existing aux_shift_active gating. - gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: w_aux_to_q_dir field promoted to pub(crate) for cross-module access via raw_ptr(). - trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: new wire-up block after SP15 warm-count setter, mirroring the established setter pattern. NULL-safe on test scaffolds where fused_ctx or collector is absent. End-state — rollout activation: - compute_expected_q + quantile_q_select now return shifted E[Q] / quantile-blends per direction action during rollout. - With trainer's W trained each step (Step 8+11 Adam), the rollout policy's direction-action distribution actively reflects the learned aux→policy coupling. state_121's per-env value drives a per-(env, action) bias of magnitude W[a] (≤0.5 initial prior, learned thereafter). Verification: cargo check -p ml --lib clean (0 errors, 21 pre-existing warnings). Trainer + collector now smoke-ready end-to-end for the trainer/rollout side. Eval-side activation pending Phase D.

feat(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α — adaptive W via dW backward + Adam (B9 Steps 8+11)
Step 8 — c51_aux_dw_kernel (new):
- Per-action block tree-reduce: grid=(4,1,1), block=(256,1,1). One block
per W index a, tree-reduces dW[a] across batch via warp shuffle + shmem.
Zero atomicAdd per pearl_no_atomicadd.
- Per-sample contributions:
a == a_d: dW[a] += inv_batch × isw × (SP_b/dz) × state_121
a == a*: dW[a] += inv_batch × isw × (-γ(1-done)) × (SP_b/dz) × next_state_121
c51_loss_kernel forward — new scratch outputs:
- aux_target_a_dir_buf[B] (i32): saves best_next_a for d==0 after Step c
sampling.
- aux_proj_logdiff_dir_buf[B] (f32): saves SP_b = Σ_n p_target_n ×
(current_lp[upper_n] - current_lp[lower_n]) after Step d's projection
via re-derivation of lower_n/upper_n (matching Huber compression +
clamp arithmetic of block_bellman_project_f).
Step 11 — adam_w_aux_kernel (new):
- Standard Adam with bias correction, grid=(1,1,1), block=(4,1,1).
- Graph-capture-safe: lr via self.lr_dev_ptr pointer arg; step via
self.ptrs.t_buf pointer arg (matches main Adam pattern). beta/eps
as value args from sp5_isv_slots constants.
- Bias-correction denominator floored at 1e-30 to avoid /0.
Trainer wiring (submit_adam_ops):
- launch_c51_aux_dw + launch_adam_w_aux added right after
launch_adam_update. Both inside the captured adam_child graph.
- New trainer fields: aux_target_a_dir_buf, aux_proj_logdiff_dir_buf,
c51_aux_dw_kernel, adam_w_aux_kernel. Cubin statics SP22_C51_AUX_DW_CUBIN
+ SP22_ADAM_W_AUX_CUBIN added.
NULL-safety:
- aux_shift_active=false in c51_loss_kernel forward → both scratch
buffers stay at alloc_zeros 0 → dW reads 0 → Adam W is a no-op.
- aux_target_a_dir_out / aux_proj_logdiff_dir_out are NULL-tolerant.
Deferred (deliberate scope):
- dL/dstate_121 backward (c51 → aux head): refinement, not correctness;
aux head trains via own supervised CE loss.
- Phase C1 collector W ptr setter.
- Phase D (eval-side aux infrastructure).
Verification:
- cargo build -p ml --lib: 0 errors, 21 pre-existing warnings.
- nvcc full recompile clean (1m05s for sm_89 target).
- All forward atom-shift consumers + adaptive W backward + Adam now wired.
End-state: adaptive W trains from structural prior [-0.5, 0, +0.5, 0]
via projection log-diff gradient. Aux head trains independently via
supervised CE. Together they form learned cross-coupling from aux
direction predictions to dir-branch Q distribution shifts. Smoke can
now measure adaptive W's effect on WR.

feat(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α — atom-shift forward-side complete (B9 Steps 7+9+10)
Steps 7+9+10 land all FORWARD-path consumers of atom positions:
Step 7 — c51_loss_kernel atom-shift threading:
- 5 new args (w_aux, batch_states, next_batch_states, aux_dir_prob_index,
state_dim). NULL-safe — any NULL collapses to 0 shift, bit-identical
to pre-Phase-3-α.
- Per-sample state_121 + next_state_121 hoisted once at top of kernel.
- eq_per_action[a] += W[a]*next_state_121 in dir branch (d==0) before
Expected SARSA target-action sampling. Biases a* toward aux-aligned.
- Bellman projection: effective_reward = reward + γ*Δ_target*(1-done)
- Δ_online substituted for reward in block_bellman_project_f call.
Math derivation: see prior commit

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 runbook — atom-shift math derivation for Steps 7+8
Derived the projection-arithmetic transformation that collapses per-(b, a) atom-position shift into a SINGLE per-sample reward adjustment: effective_reward = reward + gamma_eff * Delta_target * (1-done) - Delta_online where Delta_online = W[a_d] * state_121[b] (taken-action shift on online support) Delta_target = W[a*] * next_state_121[b] (sampled-target shift on target dist) The Bellman projection (block_bellman_project_f body) needs NO arithmetic change — only the reward arg passed in. This dramatically reduces Step 7's kernel surgery surface area. For Step 8 backward, derived the gradient paths: dL/dDelta_online = (1/dz) * sum_n p_target_n * (log_p_online[upper_n] - log_p_online[lower_n]) dL/dDelta_target = -gamma*(1-done) * dL/dDelta_online dL/dW[a_d] += dL/dDelta_online * state_121 dL/dW[a*] += dL/dDelta_target * next_state_121 dL/dstate_121[b] += dL/dDelta_online * W[a_d] dL/dnext_state_121[b] += dL/dDelta_target * W[a*] Critical constraint documented: Steps 7+8+11 MUST land atomically. Splitting Step 7 forward from Step 8 backward creates a silent gradient path through the aux head (missing dDelta_online/dnetwork_weights). Splitting Step 8 from Step 11 Adam accumulates dW without updating W — no learning. Per feedback_no_partial_refactor.md. The math now makes Step 7+8 a transcription job rather than exploration.

feat(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α — atom-shift wired through compute_expected_q (B9 Step 5+6)
W structural prior init kernel (Step 5): - aux_w_prior_init_kernel.cu: 4-thread one-time init writing W[a] = [-0.5, 0.0, +0.5, 0.0] (Short / Hold / Long / Flat). Hardcoded values in kernel — no HtoD per feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md. - build.rs registration + gpu_dqn_trainer.rs cubin static + handle field + new() launch after alloc_zeros for w_aux_to_q_dir. compute_expected_q atom-shift (Step 6): - experience_kernels.cu signature grows 4 args (w_aux, batch_states, aux_dir_prob_index, state_dim). NULL-safe — collapses to 0 shift when either pointer is NULL, bit-identical to pre-Phase-3-α. - Per-action inner loop computes aux_atom_shift = w_aux[a] * state_121 once per (b, a) for d==0 only. Inner z-loop applies z_val += aux_atom_shift before all S/TZ/TZ²/TLM accumulators consume it. Launcher updates (3 trainer sites + 1 collector site): - populate_q_out: passes W + current states (online path). - replay_forward_for_q_values: passes W + current states (online replay). - compute_denoise_target_q: passes W + next_states (target on s'; W shared across online/target). - gpu_experience_collector.rs: passes NULL W + NULL states until Phase C1 wires the trainer's W ptr through a setter. Architectural notes: - Action selection (every compute_expected_q call) now uses shifted atom positions for direction branch (d==0). Other branches stay bit-identical (shift = 0). Step 7 (c51_loss_kernel) + Step 8 (c51_grad_kernel) will close the loop on training loss + W gradient in the same atomic commit to avoid the gradient mismatch trap per feedback_no_partial_refactor.md. - Adam wireup for w_aux_to_q_dir lands at Step 11; until then W stays at structural prior values (no Adam step modifies it). Verification: - cargo check -p ml --lib: 0 errors, 21 pre-existing warnings (Phase 3b baseline parity). - Audit doc updated with B9 Step 5+6 checkpoint entry.

refactor(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α cleanup + runbook revision for atom-shift design
Same-session cleanup of Phase 3b scalar-bias residue (commit cb80b74ce's
additions that became architecturally redundant under the 2026-05-13
atom-shift revision). The scalar-bias α design is mathematically
ineffective in C51 distributional Q-learning (softmax-shift-invariance
→ W gradient = 0 → never trains). The revised design threads
`aux_atom_shift[b, a] = W[a] * state_121[b]` through compute_expected_q
+ c51_loss_kernel + c51_grad_kernel + mag_concat_qdir; dW + dstate
gradients integrate into c51_grad_kernel's projection backward.
Files
─────
- crates/ml/build.rs:
Removed `aux_to_q_dir_bias_kernel.cu` + `aux_to_q_dir_bias_backward_kernel.cu`
from kernels_with_common. Replaced with comment block documenting
C51 softmax-invariance reason + spec/audit pointers.
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:
Removed `pub(crate) static SP22_AUX_TO_Q_DIR_BIAS_CUBIN` and
`SP22_AUX_TO_Q_DIR_BIAS_BWD_CUBIN` static declarations.
Removed 3 struct fields (aux_to_q_dir_bias_kernel,
aux_to_q_dir_bias_backward_dw_kernel,
aux_to_q_dir_bias_backward_dstate_kernel) and their new()
loading blocks + struct construction entries.
KEPT: w_aux_to_q_dir + adam_m_w_aux + adam_v_w_aux + dw_aux_buf
(still needed for atom-shift Adam-trained W).
Updated W doc-comment to describe atom-shift threading (was
scalar-bias) and structural-prior initialization `[-0.5, 0.0,
+0.5, 0.0]`.

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 α spec revision — atom-position shift (not scalar Q bias)
Architectural finding during Phase 3c implementation attempt:
Original spec: α adds `W[a] * state_121[b]` to scalar Q values. Adam-
trained W via dloss/dQ gradient.
Actual codebase: C51 distributional Q-learning. Q is computed from a
probability distribution over fixed atom positions; C51 loss is KL
divergence over distributions, not MSE over scalars. Adding a constant
to logits is softmax-shift-invariant; adding to scalar expected_Q
happens post-loss-path. Either way, the KL loss is invariant under
scalar Q bias → W gradient = 0 → W never trains → α is mathematically
ineffective as originally specified.
Principled fix
──────────────
Per-(b, a) atom-position shift:
z_n_effective[b, a, n] = z_n_base + W[a] * state_121[b] for all n
Shifts atom positions state-dependently. C51 Bellman projection
re-projects target onto shifted positions → loss depends on
`W[a] * state_121[b]` smoothly → W gradient flows from projection
arithmetic.
Implementation cost grows from ~25-35 hr to ~40-60 hr because the
atom-shift threads through every kernel that uses atom positions
for the direction branch:
- compute_expected_q (action selection)
- c51_loss_kernel (Bellman projection)
- c51_grad_kernel (backward dW + dstate from projection arithmetic)
- mag_concat_qdir (magnitude-branch conditioning Q_dir compute)
- quantile_q_select / iqn_dual_head_kernel (investigate)
The Phase A `aux_to_q_dir_bias_kernel.cu` + `aux_to_q_dir_bias_backward_kernel.cu` become architecturally redundant under the revised
design. The dW + dstate gradient computations integrate into
c51_grad_kernel's existing projection backward. Phase A kernels
stay as compiled cubins (committed in

Phase A of the SP22 H6 Phase 3 implementation runbook

additive: new ISV slots + new kernel files + build.rs registration

eval pipeline consumes this infrastructure yet — the existing

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 implementation runbook — 36 tasks across 6 phases
Bite-sized task plan derived from the Phase 3 spec (docs/plans/2026-05-12-sp22-h6-phase3-alpha-beta.md). Tasks grouped into six phases; all EDIT tasks land in a single atomic commit at Phase F per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`. There are NO intermediate commits across Phase A–E; each task's cargo-check step is the in-flight gate. Phase A (5 tasks): foundation — new ISV slots (REWARD_AUX_ALIGN_EMA_INDEX + SP22_AUX_ALIGN_SCALE_INDEX), state_reset_registry entries, new alpha forward + backward kernels, build.rs registration. Phase B (11 tasks): 7-component contract migration — experience_kernels.cu (producer + beta), backtest_env_kernel.cu (eval producer + beta), reward_component_ema_kernel.cu (0..7 iteration), reward_decomp_diag_kernel.cu (column 6), reward_component_mag_ratio_compute_kernel.cu (axis 6), reward_subsystem_controller_kernel.cu (7-weight emit + w_aux_align anchor), health_diag_kernel.cu (snap slot), gpu_experience_collector.rs (7-slot buffer + HEALTH_DIAG print), gpu_dqn_trainer.rs (7-slot buffer + HEALTH_DIAG + alpha param + Adam + captured graph wiring), reward_component_monitor.rs (reader), training_loop.rs (sp11_reward + reward_split print lines). Phase C (1 task): alpha plumbing collector-side / rollout-time captured graph (Phase C is otherwise folded into Phase B Task B9). Phase D (7 tasks): A2 eval-side — aux trunk weight loading + per-window prev_aux_dir_prob buffer + per-step aux trunk forward + softmax-to-per-env launch + alpha forward + non-NULL state-gather wiring across 3 launchers + W ptr sharing trainer ↔ evaluator. Phase E (7 tasks): verification gates — cargo check, gpu_backtest_validation, compute-sanitizer, captured-graph integrity (deferred to smoke), alpha weight movement (deferred to smoke), 7-component contract sanity (deferred to smoke), A2 eval-side aux activity (deferred to validation eval). Phase F (5 tasks): audit doc append (Invariant 7), single atomic commit covering all changes, push, smoke dispatch, verdict monitoring + audit doc verdict. Total: 36 tasks. Each task has exact file paths, exact commands with expected output, and code-block-level specificity for kernel signatures, struct field additions, and HEALTH_DIAG format-string extensions. Self-review section maps every spec requirement to a specific task.

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 spec — include A2 eval-side wiring (per "do eval too")
Folded A2 (eval-side α + β + aux trunk forward) into the Phase 3 spec
per user directive. Brings eval pipeline to production parity with
training-time rollout.
A2 components (6 sub-items)
───────────────────────────
A2.1 — Aux trunk weight loading at eval init (shared-source-of-truth
with trainer, mirroring existing GEMM weight pattern).
A2.2 — Per-window `prev_aux_dir_prob` buffer at eval ([n_windows] f32,
fill_f32(0.0) init + per-evaluate() reset).
A2.3 — Aux trunk forward at eval per-step (reuse `AuxHeadsForward`
orchestrator if API permits; fall back to thin eval-only
variant if too training-coupled).
A2.4 — α at eval (post-Q_dir bias launch, reuses training kernel).
A2.5 — β at eval (mirror of training producer in
`backtest_env_kernel.cu::segment_complete`; same NULL-fallback
semantics; reads scale_beta from training-emitted ISV slot).
A2.6 — Wire `prev_aux_dir_prob.raw_ptr()` (non-NULL) into all 3
backtest state-gather launchers.
7-component contract migration EXTENDED
───────────────────────────────────────
Added `backtest_env_kernel.cu` to the atomic 7-component migration
list (eval-side reward stride 6 → 7 alongside training-side). All
reward-component consumers across training AND eval paths migrate
in one commit per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`.
Scope estimate updated
──────────────────────
~34–47 hr engineering (5–6 working days), up from ~21–31 hr in the
within-phase-follow-ups version. Bulk of addition is A2.1–A2.3
greenfield work — the eval pipeline had no aux infrastructure
before.
Verification gates expanded (gate 7 added)
──────────────────────────────────────────
7. **A2 eval-side aux activity check**: post-cycle-1 validation eval
shows non-zero `r_aux_align` in eval-side WindowMetrics reward
decomposition. If eval r_aux_align ≈ 0 while training-side > 0 →
A2 wiring failure. gpu_backtest_validation tests should still
pass; potential tolerance adjustment for extended metrics
(CVaR/Omega) if β shifts numerics meaningfully; the four
directional tests remain bit-identical because constant_action_model
bypasses Q-network and β is no-op at test-time (sentinel-zero
scale_β since tests don't run SP11 controller).
Out of scope (sole remaining)
─────────────────────────────
Only the aux-trunk-gradient-flow-back-through-state[121] item, which
is a property statement (preserved by H6 design's stop-grad), not a
deferral.

of-truth pattern)

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 spec — fold within-phase follow-ups into scope
Per the directive "no follow ups include in spec", expanded the
Phase 3 design to include three previously-out-of-scope items:
1. β as a separate 7th reward component (not added to r_trail)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Contract change from `reward_components_per_sample[6]` →
`reward_components_per_sample[7]`. Migrated atomically per
`feedback_no_partial_refactor` across every consumer:
- experience_kernels.cu (producer site at segment_complete)
- reward_component_ema_kernel.cu (iterate 0..7)
- reward_decomp_diag_kernel.cu (emit column 6)
- reward_component_mag_ratio_compute_kernel.cu (axis 6)
- reward_subsystem_controller_kernel.cu (7-weight output)
- gpu_experience_collector.rs + gpu_dqn_trainer.rs (buffer alloc
+ HEALTH_DIAG print format)
- reward_component_monitor.rs (7-component EMA reader)
- health_diag_kernel.cu (snap layout)
- training_loop.rs (sp11_reward + reward_split lines)
New ISV slot REWARD_AUX_ALIGN_EMA_INDEX for the component EMA.
2. SP11 controller emits scale_β adaptively
─────────────────────────────────────────
New ISV slot `SP22_AUX_ALIGN_SCALE_INDEX`. Producer:
reward_subsystem_controller_kernel extended to 7 weight outputs.
Anchor: REWARD_AUX_ALIGN_EMA_INDEX. Target: ~10% of total reward
magnitude. Bounds [0.05, 2.0]. Cold-start sentinel 0 per
`pearl_first_observation_bootstrap` — β no-op until first emit.
state_reset_registry registers both slots as FoldReset category.
3. Encoder-state[121] gradient routing — DECISION committed
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Option (i) — both paths open. `dbatch_states[121] +=` flows
gradient into both α's W and the encoder's column for slot 121.
Long-term robust: encoder may eventually learn additively (belt
+ suspenders). Empirical observable: compare W magnitudes vs
encoder column-norm for state[121] in post-smoke telemetry.
Explicitly OUT of scope (with reasoning, not deferral)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A2 (eval-side α + β + aux trunk forward at eval): the same
architectural deferral logic from H6 Phase 1. Adding aux
infrastructure to GpuBacktestEvaluator should follow positive
training-side evidence rather than precede it. A3 NULL-fallback at
eval makes both α and β no-ops at eval-time, isolating the verdict
to training-side. Becomes a separate spec if Phase 3 confirms.
Scope estimate updated
──────────────────────
~21–31 hr engineering (roughly 3-4 working days) — up from the
earlier "~10–16 hr" YAGNI estimate. The bulk of the addition is the
7-component contract migration touching ~8 kernel/source files
atomically and the SP11 controller extension.
Verification gates expanded
───────────────────────────
6. **7-component contract sanity** (smoke cycle 1): HEALTH_DIAG
sp11_reward shows 7 weights including w_aux; reward_split shows 7
components including aux_align; both non-zero within the first
epoch after the SP11 controller's first emit. If still zero,
either the controller emit is broken OR the β producer isn't
firing.

docs(sp22): H6 Phase 3 spec — combined α (bypass-head) + β (event-driven aux bonus)
Phase 2 verdict gave mechanistic evidence that the encoder's weights
for state[121] are essentially unused (action distribution
bit-identical across Phase 1 and Phase 2 encodings; drift < 0.5% on
every action bin). The aux signal reaches state[121] (`pred_tanh =
0.66`) but the policy ignores it because slot 121's encoder weights
need many training steps to grow from zero.
Phase 3 routes aux around the cold-encoder bottleneck via two
non-overlapping mechanisms (combined per
`pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes`):
α (post-encoder bypass-head)
────────────────────────────
- New learnable param `W_aux_to_Q_dir: [4]` f32 (one weight per
direction action). Adam states `m`, `v` ([4] each). 12 floats total.
- Forward (rollout + training graphs, post-Q_dir):
Q_dir[b, a] += W_aux_to_Q_dir[a] * state_121[b]
- Backward (training only):
dW[a] = Σ_b state_121[b] * dQ_dir[b, a] (per-action block reduce)
dstate_121[b] += Σ_a W[a] * dQ_dir[b, a] (per-sample sum)
- New cubins:
aux_to_q_dir_bias_kernel.cu (forward)
aux_to_q_dir_bias_backward_kernel.cu (backward)
- Zero-init; Phase-3 step-0 output identical to Phase-2 baseline.
Adam-driven growth tracks aux-Q correlation.
- Reads state_121 from the encoder INPUT (batch_states[121]), bypassing
the encoder entirely.
β (event-driven aux-aligned trade-close bonus)
──────────────────────────────────────────────
At trade-close (existing segment_complete branch in
experience_env_step):
position_sign = sign(prev_position)
aux_at_close = state_121[env]
alignment = max(0, aux_at_close * position_sign) ∈ [0, +1]
profit_term = max(0, realized_pnl) ∈ [0, +∞)
r_aux_align = scale_beta * alignment * profit_term
Added to existing r_trail (no new reward component for first test —
YAGNI). scale_beta = 0.5 fixed. Non-negative-only (no anti-alignment
penalty; let r_trail's loss carry the negative signal). Event-driven
per `pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment`. Bounded by
`pearl_one_unbounded_signal_per_reward` (realized_pnl is the single
unbounded multiplicand, which IS the natural per-trade scale).
Why combined
────────────
α: direct forward-pass channel (aux shifts Q in real-time).
β: indirect training-signal channel (aux-aligned profitable trades
get bigger gradient → encoder learns to use state[121] faster, AND
the policy learns to take aux-aligned trades).
Decision points captured (with rationale)
─────────────────────────────────────────
| Question | Decision | Rationale |
| α scope | 4-weight vector | aux is directionally signed |
| β formula | non-negative only | avoid confusing policy when aux wrong |
| β scale | fixed 0.5 | minimum scope for verdict experiment |
| state[121] grad routing | both paths open | simplest; α dominates initially |
| β placement | added to r_trail | YAGNI; 7th component deferred |
| W sharing | trainer holds, collector reads | mirrors GEMM pattern |
Verification (all required clean before commit)
───────────────────────────────────────────────
- cargo check -p ml --features cuda (0 errors, 21 pre-existing
warnings expected — parity with Phase 2 baseline)
- gpu_backtest_validation (6/6 pass; post-Phase-2-test-fix baseline)
- compute-sanitizer --tool=memcheck (0 errors)
- Captured-graph integrity check (CAPTURE_PHASE_FORWARD_DONE +
parent compose visible in smoke logs)
- α weight movement check (W_aux_to_Q_dir non-zero after epoch 1)
Verdict criteria
────────────────
- WR > 50.5% within 3 epochs → confirmed → justify A2.
- W_aux_to_Q_dir non-zero magnitudes → α gradient flowed.
- Action distribution diverges from Phase 1/2 baselines → policy is
exercising different actions.
- a_var [m, o, u] > 1e-3 → sub-branches gradient-coupled.
- WR pinned + W non-zero + action distribution moved → bypass routing
is working but aux signal isn't actionable on current fixtures →
pivot to deeper hypothesis (per-branch IQN tau audit, reward
density rewrite, longer horizon).
- WR pinned + W near-zero → gradient flow broken; kernel debug.
Estimated effort: ~10–16 hr engineering + ~37 min smoke wall-clock.

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.

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.

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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.

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.

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. Files changed: - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp14_isv_slots.rs - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md (H1 experiment entry) Reverts if H1 falsified.

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).

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)
Verification:

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.

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.

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

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 ( |

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.

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
3 epochs and checkpoint_frequency=10, periodic never fired; if
async failed, NO checkpoint existed.
- Fix: guaranteed final save at training end. After async drain,
restore_best_gpu_params + serialize + sync callback(is_best=true).
Idempotent if async already wrote; authoritative if it failed.
All errors here non-fatal (training succeeded; eval reports its
own missing-ckpt at proper boundary).
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/financials.rs: v3 annualized return

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.
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: 8 new slot consts
+ N_SEGMENTS + curriculum_weight_index accessor + tests

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

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 6.5a — val state retention infrastructure (mapped-pinned, atomic)
Lays the consumer-side infrastructure for true E7 hindsight synthetic injection. Phase 6.5b will follow with the producer wireup. What lands: 1. EvalTrade.window_index + HindsightExperience.window_index fields (host-side only; set in read_per_trade_tape from the w loop var and propagated by compute_hindsight_labels). 2. GpuBacktestEvaluator.retained_states_buf — mapped-pinned MappedF32Buffer sized [max_len × n_windows × state_dim_padded]. Populated by a DtoD copy after every launch_gather_chunk inside submit_dqn_step_loop_cublas; layout matches chunked_states_buf so the copy is a single contiguous block per chunk (no transpose). 3. pub fn read_retained_state(window_idx, bar_idx) — zero-copy host read via std::ptr::read_volatile on host_ptr (no memcpy_dtoh per feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned). Mapped-pinned decision (jgrusewski review): - Initial draft used CudaSlice<f32> + memcpy_dtoh for host read, caught at review: violates feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned. - Refactored to MappedF32Buffer (cuMemHostAlloc DEVICEMAP). The DtoD copy remains (rule forbids HtoD/DtoH, not DtoD; kernel writes via dev_ptr aliasing pinned host memory). Caller must sync eval stream before read_retained_state — production path's consume_metrics_after_event already does this. Memory cost at production cfg (max_len=200_000, n_windows=5, state_dim_padded≈128): ~512 MB pinned host RAM. Substantial but feasible on L40S host (192 GB+).

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.

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).

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 5+6 combined — E6/E7 signal-driven PER alpha scaling (atomic)
Wires E6 (compute_winner_indices) + E7 (compute_hindsight_labels) outputs into the PER priority update kernel via signal-driven ISV slots. Phases 5 and 6 combined into one atomic commit per feedback_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes — both attack the same consumer kernel (per_update_pa) with non-overlapping refactor scopes (E6 contributes one ISV-mediated scalar, E7 contributes another, kernel composes both into alpha_boost). Plan revision (briefed and accepted 2026-05-11): - E6's literal Vec<usize> of val bar indices CANNOT directly bump training-PER priorities — val and training have separate coord systems (no bar-index → buffer-slot mapping). - E7's true synthetic injection requires val state retention infrastructure (n_windows × max_len × state_dim scratch buffer) — significant scope expansion deferred to Phase 6.5. - The MEANINGFUL signal in both phases is scalar aggregations of the per-trade tape: E6 winner concentration (top-decile-mean P&L / all-mean P&L) and E7 hindsight magnitude (mean |counterfactual_pnl|). Both compose multiplicatively into per_update_pa's alpha_eff. ISV slot allocation: - WINNER_CONCENTRATION_INDEX = 525 - HINDSIGHT_MAGNITUDE_INDEX = 526 - ISV_TOTAL_DIM 525 → 527 (bus extension) - Layout fingerprint adds 2 SLOT entries - Compile-time test asserts SP21_SLOT_END (527) ≤ ISV_TOTAL_DIM Signal semantics: - winner_concentration: top_decile_mean_pnl / max(all_mean_pnl, EPS). > 1.0 = top decile dominates; ≈ 1.0 = uniform; ≤ 0 → 0.0 sentinel (losing strategy, signal ill-defined). - hindsight_magnitude: mean(|counterfactual_pnl|). Higher = larger missed opportunities. - Cold start: both at 0.0 sentinel; kernel short-circuits to alpha_eff = alpha (no-op). ABI surgery (minimal): - per_update_pa: ONE new arg `const float* __restrict__ isv_signals` at end. NULL-tolerant. Reads slots 525/526 device-side, composes boost_delta (bounded [0, 0.4]), applies alpha_eff = alpha + delta. - update_priorities_gpu launcher: passes existing self.isv_signals_dev_ptr (already on struct, settable via set_isv_signals_ptr — same infra per_insert_pa uses for recovery_oversample). Zero new public API. Producer wireup: - enrichment.rs: 2 new helpers (compute_winner_concentration, compute_hindsight_magnitude); EnrichmentResult gains 2 fields (winner_concentration, hindsight_magnitude); run_enrichments populates both; log line extended. - training_loop.rs: post-enrichment block writes both ISV slots via fused.trainer().write_isv_signal_at. Files changed: - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: +2 slot consts - crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump + fingerprint - crates/ml-dqn/src/per_kernels.cu: per_update_pa ABI + boost logic - crates/ml-dqn/src/gpu_replay_buffer.rs: launcher passes ISV ptr - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/enrichment.rs: 2 helpers + 2 fields + populate - crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: write 2 slots - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry Verification (passing): - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3 - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 34 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate (alpha_eff lift on post-warmup val passes) is the upcoming smoke training run. Deferred follow-up (Phase 6.5): true E7 hindsight synthetic experience injection via val state retention + per_insert_pa extension. Significant infrastructure (n_windows × max_len × state_dim scratch + insert API extension). Documented in audit. After this commit (T2.2 Phases 7-8 + 6.5 deferred): - Phase 7: E8 curriculum weights → segment sampling - Phase 8: signal-drive remaining controller GAINS - Phase 6.5: synthetic hindsight injection (deferred — needs val state buffer infrastructure) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 4.5 — re-instate Pearl C engagement tracking for branches (atomic)
Closes the Phase 4 deferral. The 4 DqnBranches sub-launches now write
per-block engagement counts to 4 distinct ranges in
clamp_engage_per_block_buf; pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_check
aggregates all 4 ranges into one per-group rate-deficit EMA —
semantically equivalent to the pre-Phase-4 single-launch tracking.
Design: Option (b) sub-block offsetting, mirroring the existing
Curiosity pattern exactly. SP4_ENGAGE_EXTRA_BRANCHES_SUBLAUNCHES = 3
reserves 3 extra slots beyond Curiosity's tail; sub-launch 0 (Dir)
reuses the canonical DqnBranches slot 2; sub-launches 1/2/3 (Mag,
Order, Urgency) get extra slots 11/12/13. This keeps ParamGroup at
8 entries (no taxonomy growth, no 28 new ISV slot allocations).
SP4_ENGAGE_BUF_LEN: 11 → 14 × MAX_BLOCKS_PER_ADAM (45056 → 57344
i32 slots, +12 KiB on a non-hot-path mapped-pinned buffer).
Branch-to-offset mapping:
| Sub-launch | Offset constant | Slot | Buffer offset |
|------------|------------------------------------|------|---------------|
| Dir (b0) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_DIR | 2 | 8 192 |
| Mag (b1) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_MAG | 11 | 45 056 |
| Order (b2) | SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_ORDER | 12 | 49 152 |
| Urgency(b3)| SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_URGENCY | 13 | 53 248 |
pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_check generalized: a `multi_range` flag
covers both Curiosity (4 sub-launches W1/b1/W2/b2) and DqnBranches
(4 sub-launches Dir/Mag/Order/Urgency). Read AND zero-out paths use
the same flag — no duplication of branching logic.
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp4_isv_slots.rs: SP4_ENGAGE_EXTRA_
BRANCHES_SUBLAUNCHES const; SP4_ENGAGE_BUF_LEN formula extended;
SP4_ENGAGE_OFFSET_BRANCH_{DIR,MAG,ORDER,URGENCY}; layout test
updated to 14× MAX_BLOCKS_PER_ADAM
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: launch_adam_update
branch sub-launches use new offsets; pearl_c_post_adam_engagement_
check aggregates DqnBranches multi-range
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-11 audit entry
Verification (passing):
- cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp4_isv_slots: 2/2 (engage buf layout asserts
14× + branch offsets correct)
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots: 3/3
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12
- sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2
- sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4
- sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7
- sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3
Total: 33 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate: HEALTH_DIAG emits
per-branch engagement-rate-deficit EMAs in upcoming smoke run.

feat(sp21): T2.2 Phase 4 — wire E4 branch_lr_scale → per-branch Adam (atomic)
Wires EnrichmentResult::branch_lr_scale (E4's [f32; 4] clamped [0.5,
2.0] per-branch LR multiplier) into the DQN Adam optimizer. Splits
the existing single DqnBranches Adam sub-launch into 4 per-branch
sub-launches, each consuming its own LR scale from ISV[521..525).
Plan amendment from on-paper design:
- Plan said "via existing per-group Adam infrastructure" but per-group
operates at PARAM_GROUP granularity (8 groups, all 4 action branches
lumped into DqnBranches). E4 needs per-action-BRANCH granularity.
- Resolution: split DqnBranches sub-launch into 4 per-branch sub-launches
using the already-canonical branch byte ranges (4 param tensors per
branch: Dir [17..21), Mag [21..25), Order [25..29), Urgency [29..33)).
Coverage invariant updated to 7-way (was 4-way).
- Pearl C engagement tracking on branches DEFERRED to Phase 4.5: the
shared DqnBranches engagement counter offset would collide on writes
if 4 sub-launches use the same offset. Pearl C is a diagnostic system
(not load-bearing) so its temporary unavailability for branches is
acceptable; Trunk + Value + Trunk-extras Pearl C still active.
Phase 4.5 follow-up will re-instate via ParamGroup expansion or
sub-block offsetting scheme.
ISV slot allocation:
- BRANCH_LR_SCALE_{DIR,MAG,ORDER,URGENCY}_INDEX = 521..525
- ISV_TOTAL_DIM 521 → 525 (bus extension)
- Layout fingerprint adds 4 SLOT entries
- New branch_lr_scale_index(branch_idx) accessor for clean mapping
- Cold-start floor: launcher reads ISV, floors at 1.0 if at sentinel
0.0 (per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap — first emit replaces
directly with no intermediate state)
ABI surgery:
- dqn_adam_update_kernel: ONE new arg float lr_scale at end of
signature; lr = *lr_ptr * lr_scale inside kernel
- 5 callers migrated atomically per feedback_no_partial_refactor:
- launch_adam_update (main DQN): 7 sub-launches with per-branch
lr_scale (Trunk + Value + 4 branch + Trunk-extras)
- 4 post-aux launchers (ofi_embed/aux_trunk/denoise/sel) pass 1.0
- decision_transformer Adam launch passes 1.0
Producer wireup (training_loop.rs post-enrichment block):
```rust
for (branch_idx, &scale) in result.branch_lr_scale.iter().enumerate() {
fused.trainer().write_isv_signal_at(
branch_lr_scale_index(branch_idx),
scale,
);
}
```
Files changed:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp21_isv_slots.rs: +4 slots + accessor + tests
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM bump +
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
Verification (passing):
- cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors
- cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots --features cuda: 3/3 (bus bounds
+ slot uniqueness + branch index mapping)
- sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12
- sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2
- sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4
- sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7
- sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3
Total: 31 tests, 0 failures. Behavioral gate (per-branch LR divergence)
is the upcoming smoke training run.
After this commit (T2.2 Phases 5-7 + 8 + 4.5):
- Phase 5: E6 winner indices → PER priority bumps
- Phase 6: E7 hindsight → replay buffer injection
- Phase 7: E8 curriculum weights → segment sampling
- Phase 8: signal-drive remaining controller GAINS
- Phase 4.5: re-instate Pearl C engagement tracking for branches

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 Verification: - cargo check -p ml --tests --features cuda: 0 errors - cargo test -p ml --lib sp21_isv_slots --features cuda: 2/2 (bus bounds + slot uniqueness) - sp20_aggregate_inputs_test: 12/12 - sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test: 2/2 - sp20_emas_compute_test: 4/4 - sp20_controllers_compute_test: 7/7 - sp21_per_trade_predicted_q_test: 3/3 Total: 30 tests, 0 failures.
