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

fix(sp20): bump MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES 2GB → 8GB + audit doc
L40S (48GB) and H100 (80GB) have plenty of headroom; the 2GB cap was a conservative leftover that tripped on workflow zgjgc with 17.8M imbalance bars (3.2GB). 8GB budget leaves ~28GB free on L40S after model + activations + workspace. Updates both call sites: - DqnGpuData::upload_slices (training data, the failing one on zgjgc) - PpoGpuData::upload (market data, same constant) Error message format strings updated 2.0 GB → 8.0 GB.

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

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

feat(sp20): parallelise per-bar OFI extraction via time-bucket sharding
Replaces the sequential per-bar OFI loop in
`crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs:578-734` with a call into a
new `ml-features` library function that shards bars across CPU cores
with warmup overlap. On `ci-compile-cpu` (28 cores), large fxcache
runs (~50-200k bars) get a meaningful speedup; small datasets (<10k
bars) may run slightly slower due to amortisation cost — see test
output below.
Strategy: time-bucket sharding with warmup overlap
- Partition core bars [0, n) into K contiguous shards (K = rayon
current threads, or `OFI_SHARD_COUNT` env override).
- For each shard [start_k, end_k):
1. Construct a fresh `OFICalculator`.
2. Replay the `WARMUP_BARS = 5000` preceding bars (or fewer if
start_k < 5000) by feeding trades + calling
`calculate(last_snap)` and DISCARDING outputs. This populates
VPIN (50 buckets × 50k contracts), Kyle (100 trades),
trade-imbalance (100 trades), OFI-stats (300 snapshots), and
prev_snapshot to bit-identical sequential-walk state.
3. Process core bars and emit ofi_per_bar rows.
- Concatenate shard outputs in order, then run post-loop passes
(lag-1 deltas, log_bar_duration) over the full Vec — both are pure
functions of the concatenated output / bar timestamps and have no
shard interaction.
Bit-equivalence guarantee
=========================
Each shard's warmup phase replays the same prefix of trades+snapshots
into a freshly initialised local `OFICalculator`. Once the warmup has
covered enough bars to fully populate every rolling window AND any
post-warmup-window state has been carried forward, the shard's
calculator state at the warmup→core boundary is bit-identical to the
sequential walk. `MicrostructureState` is constructed fresh per-bar
(no cross-bar state) so its semantics are unchanged.
Verified by `crates/ml-features/tests/ofi_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs`:
| test | result | max abs diff |
|-------------------------------------------------|--------|--------------|
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k4 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k8 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_k1_is_sequential | pass | exactly 0 |
| parallel_handles_no_trades | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_speedup_smoke (ignored, bench-shaped) | n/a | n/a |
Speedup smoke (release, K=8, synthetic data):
n=8000 bars : seq=16.36ms par=18.98ms speedup=0.86x
n=30000 bars: seq=50.89ms par=29.56ms speedup=1.72x
n=80000 bars: seq=142.12ms par=55.13ms speedup=2.58x
Speedup grows with N because the 5000-bar warmup overhead
amortises. At production scale (50-200k bars × ~3 snap/bar × ~5
trades/bar) real workloads will see closer to K-1.x speedup. Small
datasets (<10k) regress slightly — by design; warmup must be ≥
rolling-window depth for bit-equivalence and we will not relax that
for marginal wall-clock gains on tiny inputs.

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

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

feat(sp20): Phase 3 Task 3.4 — replay buffer schema for per-bar aux_conf
Lands the producer→ring→consumer schema plumbing for per-bar aux_conf
(the K=2 peak-softmax-above-uniform confidence value the Phase 5
Aux→Q gate consumes at the Bellman target). Atomic across all struct
boundaries per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`.
Data flow (TWO struct boundaries, not one — plan errata Gap 11):
ExperienceCollector → GpuExperienceBatch → insert_batch()
(.aux_conf field) (8th arg)
→ ring → sample() → GpuBatchPtrs → Trainer
(.aux_conf_ptr) (Phase 5 consumer)
Phase 5 lands the consumer (Aux→Q gate kernel at the Bellman target);
this commit is the producer-side schema plumbing only.
Spec §4.4 Phase 5 forward-reference contract:
At each replay batch step:
aux_conf = ptrs.aux_conf_ptr[k] # SAMPLED bar
threshold = ISV[AUX_CONF_THRESHOLD_INDEX] # [0.01, 0.20]
temp = ISV[AUX_GATE_TEMP_INDEX]
gate = sigmoid((aux_conf - threshold) / temp) # ∈ [0, 1]
Q_target = gate × Q_full + (1 - gate) × mean_a Q(s, a)
Producer (experience_env_step):
- 1 new kernel arg `aux_conf_per_sample: float* [N×L×cf_mult]`.
- Per-bar write at kernel entry: `aux_conf_per_sample[out_off] =
sp20_compute_per_bar_aux_conf_k2(aux_logits + i*K)`.
- CF slot write: `aux_conf_per_sample[cf_off] =
aux_conf_per_sample[out_off]` (CF state shares the same env state
so shares the same aux signal).
- NULL-tolerant: defaults to 0.0f (K=2 uniform-prior sentinel).
GpuExperienceCollector:
- +`aux_conf_per_sample: CudaSlice<f32>` field.
- alloc with `total_output * cf_mult` for both on-policy + CF.
- Threads as kernel arg of experience_env_step.
- Clones into `GpuExperienceBatch.aux_conf` at end of
collect_experiences_gpu (size `total = base_total × 2`).
GpuExperienceBatch: +`aux_conf: CudaSlice<f32>` field.
GpuReplayBuffer (crates/ml-dqn):
- +`GpuBatchPtrs.aux_conf_ptr: u64`.
- +ring storage `aux_conf: CudaSlice<f32>` [capacity].
- +sample buffer `sample_aux_conf: CudaSlice<f32>` [max_batch_size].
- +`trainer_aux_conf_ptr: u64` for direct path.
- +`set_trainer_aux_conf_ptr` setter + `trainer_aux_conf_ptr`
accessor (mirrors `set_isv_signals_ptr` pattern).
- `insert_batch` adds 8th arg `aux_conf_in: &CudaSlice<f32>` —
scatters via `scatter_insert_f32` (reuses the rewards/dones
scatter kernel).
- `sample_proportional` adds gather: direct-to-trainer if
`trainer_aux_conf_ptr != 0`, else fallback into
`sample_aux_conf`. Both paths populate `GpuBatchPtrs.aux_conf_ptr`.
Atomic caller updates (insert_batch arg from 7 to 8):
- training_loop.rs:2522 (production)
- gpu_residency.rs:77 (smoke)
- performance.rs:144 (smoke)
- training_stability.rs:154+201 (smoke ×2)
- gpu_per_integration_test.rs:128 (integration)
- sp15_phase1_oracle_tests.rs:2170+2189+2356 (oracle ×3)
- 3 inline tests in gpu_replay_buffer.rs
Tests:
- test_aux_conf_schema_round_trip (GPU): inserts 8 transitions with
distinct aux_conf [0.0, 0.05, ..., 0.35]; samples 1; asserts the
gathered slot value matches one of the inserted values
(round-trip integrity invariant).
- test_aux_conf_trainer_ptr_wiring_contract (CPU): asserts
set_trainer_aux_conf_ptr / trainer_aux_conf_ptr setter+accessor
behavior matches the SP15 Phase 3.5.5.b mirror pattern.

feat(sp20): Phase 3 Task 3.2 — Hold opportunity-cost dual emission (Component 2)
Lands the per-bar Hold opportunity-cost dual emission at
experience_env_step's per-bar branches (positioned-non-event ~3650 +
flat-non-event ~3737), atomically with the trade-close consumer
wiring at the segment_complete branch (~3289 — replaces the Phase 2
Task 2.2 forward-reference placeholder `hold_baseline = 0.0f`) per
`feedback_no_partial_refactor`.
Spec §4.2 dual-emission contract:
per_bar_opp_cost = -aux_conf × cost_scale
Path 1 (Hold-only): r_micro/r_opp_cost += per_bar_opp_cost
- ISV[HOLD_REWARD_EMA]
(centered for Q-target stability)
Path 2 (always): hold_baseline_buffer[env, t % 30] = per_bar_opp_cost
(uncentered, consumed at trade close)
At trade close:
hold_baseline = sp20_sum_hold_baseline_over_trade(buf, env, 30,
current_t,
segment_hold_time)
alpha = R_event - hold_baseline # replaces Phase 2 placeholder
The summation walks backwards `min(30, segment_hold_time)` slots from
`(current_t - 1) % 30` in env i's row of the per-env circular buffer.
The trade-close bar's segment_complete branch does NOT write to the
buffer, so the most recent per-bar write is at current_t - 1.
Layout decision (plan errata Gap 9): per-env stride
`[N_envs × HOLD_BASELINE_BUFFER_SIZE = 30]` row-major. The kernel is
per-env-parallel; a single global ring would interleave bars across
envs and break trade-attribution semantic.
Trade-open tracking decision (plan errata Gap 10): NO new state slot
needed. The existing `segment_hold_time` (= saved_hold_time captured
before PS_HOLD_TIME reset at experience_kernels.cu:2618) plus
current_t suffice — walk backwards in the buffer.
Replaces SP18 D-leg `compute_sp18_hold_opportunity_cost` calls at
experience_kernels.cu:3672 and :3783. The device function in
trade_physics.cuh:655 is RETAINED — still called by
sp18_hold_opp_test_kernel.cu (oracle test surface). Per
`feedback_no_stubs`: only production callers migrate; the helper
stays for the test surface.
New device helpers (sp20_hold_baseline.cuh):
- sp20_compute_per_bar_aux_conf_k2(logits) — bit-identical to the
formula in sp20_stats_compute_kernel.cu Pass A.
- sp20_sum_hold_baseline_over_trade(buf, env, size, current_t,
segment_hold_time) — walks backwards with modulo wrap-around.
New buffer + reset infrastructure:
- GpuExperienceCollector.hold_baseline_buffer field
- HOLD_BASELINE_BUFFER_SIZE = 30 constant (re-exported)
- StateResetRegistry FoldReset entry + invariant test
- reset_named_state dispatch arm
Six new kernel args appended to experience_env_step signature:
aux_logits_per_env, hold_baseline_buffer, hold_buffer_size, aux_k,
hold_cost_scale_idx, hold_reward_ema_idx. All NULL-tolerant.
HOLD_REWARD_EMA forward-reference: ISV[516] is updated by
sp20_emas_compute_kernel reading per_bar_hold_reward from
sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel which currently emits 0.0f as a Phase
3.2 forward-ref placeholder (line 292). The parallel `sp20-phase-2-fix`
agent owns wiring the real producer; Task 3.2's centering math
references the ISV slot (not a hardcoded 0), so when the parallel
branch lands, EMA starts updating and centering becomes load-bearing
automatically. No additional Task 3.2 work needed post-merge.
Tests (sp20_hold_baseline_test.rs, 4 GPU oracle tests):
1. aux_conf_k2_bounds_and_fixed_points — bounds, uniform/saturated/
spec-warmup/spec-confident/symmetry fixed points.
2. sum_hold_baseline_over_trade_indexing — basic indexing,
hold_time>size clamp, defensive guards, modulo wrap-around.
3. sum_hold_baseline_per_env_stride — env-stride correctness across
row-major buffer.
4. dual_emission_hold_vs_non_hold — full Path 1 + Path 2 contract,
mirrors plan §3.2 reference fixture.

test(sp20): post-fix runtime diagnostic — read-back accessors + producer test scaffold
Adds infrastructure for verifying the SP20 Phase 2 Task 2.2-fix
(`is_win_per_env`) producer side at runtime. The consumer-side oracle
test passes; the producer-side wire-up has not been independently
verified end-to-end. Production HEALTH_DIAG observed `wr_ema=0.0000`
across all training epochs even after `64bbbe418` landed, with
`alpha_ema` evolving normally — strongly suggesting either (a) all
profitable trade closes had `hold_time == 0` so the producer write
didn't fire, or (b) the producer write fired but `(segment_return >
0.0f)` evaluated to false in the production data.
Code-inspection audit (this commit, summarized in audit-doc):
- Verified 81 kernel args (launcher) match 81 kernel signature args
for `experience_env_step`. `is_win_per_env` at position 81;
`alpha_per_env` at position 78. cudarc `PushKernelArg<&mut
CudaSlice<T>>` impl pushes `&arg.cu_device_ptr` (stable address
for the lifetime of the chained statement).
- Verified buffer allocation at construction (alloc_zeros), pub(crate)
field, FoldReset entry + dispatch arm, kernel-arg pass at both
experience_env_step and sp20_aggregate_inputs launch sites.
- Verified producer site — both alpha + is_win writes inside the SAME
`if (segment_complete && segment_hold_time > 0.0f)` block at
experience_kernels.cu:3196, both NULL-guarded, race-free.
- Verified consumer site — aggregate kernel reads `is_win_per_env[env]`
+ `alpha_per_env[env]` side-by-side inside `if (tc != 0)`.
- Verified stream ordering — both kernels run on `self.stream` in the
same `for t in 0..timesteps` loop; experience kernel at line 6069,
aggregate at 6577. Stream-implicit producer→consumer ordering.
**No code-level bug surfaced by inspection.** The `is_win_per_env`
write is structurally identical to the `alpha_per_env` write 14
lines earlier in the same gating block.
Files modified:
- `crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_experience_collector.rs` —
`read_is_win_per_env_for_test()` and `read_alpha_per_env_for_test()`
pub fns. Mirror `read_epoch_dsr_state()` pattern: dtoh memcpy via
the collector's stream, returns Vec<i32> / Vec<f32>. Cost-free in
production (only called from tests) and benign for invariants.
- `crates/ml/tests/sp20_is_win_producer_test.rs` — production-path
producer test scaffold. Builds 6-float-per-bar synthetic OHLCV
matching `experience_env_step`'s tgt[0..6] contract, runs
`collect_experiences_gpu`, reads back both buffers, asserts the
three structural invariants:
1. alpha_per_env has at least one non-zero slot (precondition —
the synthetic upward-trend data must produce ≥ 1 trade close).
2. is_win_per_env has at least one slot == 1 (regression-pin for
the Task 2.2-fix producer wire-up).
3. Co-occurrence: every env where alpha > 0 must have is_win == 1
(R_event > 0 ⇒ segment_return > 0 ⇒ is_win = 1; structural
guarantee from the kernel's two writes at the same gate).
Currently `#[ignore]` because the collector's cuBLAS forward chain
requires a real `trainer_params_ptr` (NUM_WEIGHT_TENSORS=163
weights). Activation requires either trainer-params plumbing in the
test scaffold OR moving the test inline as `#[cfg(test)]` in
gpu_experience_collector.rs.
- `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md` — audit-doc entry per Invariant 7.
Documents the inspection scope, the unverified producer-side
pre-conditions, and the open-issue framing for the wr_ema=0.0000
discrepancy.
Verification:
- SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --tests passes
- 9 state_reset_registry tests pass (incl.
sp20_is_win_per_env_registered_fold_reset)
- The new test file compiles cleanly under `--features cuda`

fix(sp20): WR_EMA pinning bug — wire segment-level is_win_per_env producer + kernel-body read
Closes the fix gap left by the failing-test commit. The aggregation kernel body now reads `is_win_per_env[env]` (when non-NULL) in the `tc != 0` branch in place of the broken per-bar `step_ret > 0` predicate; the producer site at `experience_kernels.cu::segment_ complete` writes the segment-level `(segment_return > 0.0f) ? 1 : 0` flag at the same location as `alpha_per_env[i] = alpha`. Atomic changes: - sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu: when is_win_per_env != NULL, read the per-env i32 flag for wins_count; legacy `sr > 0` predicate preserved as NULL-tolerant fallback for oracle-test scaffolds. - experience_kernels.cu: new `int* is_win_per_env` kernel arg; segment_complete branch writes `(segment_return > 0.0f) ? 1 : 0` at the same site as `alpha_per_env[i] = alpha`. Race-free per-i write (mirrors the alpha producer pattern). NULL-tolerant. - gpu_experience_collector.rs: `is_win_per_env: CudaSlice<i32>` `[alloc_episodes]` field, alloc_zeros at construction, kernel-arg pass at experience_env_step launch site, raw_ptr() pass at sp20_aggregate_inputs launch site. - state_reset_registry.rs: FoldReset entry + assertion test (sp20_is_win_per_env_registered_fold_reset). The every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm test passing confirms the dispatch arm is present. - training_loop.rs: `"is_win_per_env" => memset_zeros` arm. - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: 2026-05-10 fix-commit entry. Bug pattern for the memory pearl: per-bar mark-to-market step_return is NOT the trade's segment-level win/loss outcome at close bars because tx_cost (deducted via `*cash -= cost` in trade_physics.cuh::execute_trade) plus the per-bar Δprice tick swamp out segment-accumulated unrealized gains. The segment-level realized P&L (`(realized_pnl + unrealized_at_exit - trade_start_pnl) / prev_equity`) is the correct outcome scalar; the producer in segment_complete already had it (used by sp20_compute_event_reward's sign check for alpha), the aggregation kernel just wasn't reading the right thing. Bug latent since SP20 Phase 1.4 / 2.2 landed on 2026-05-09; caught 2026-05-10 by HEALTH_DIAG observation in a multi-seed L40S smoke (alpha_ema populated correctly while wr_ema pinned at 0.0000 across 17 epochs). Verification: - SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p ml --tests passes - 21 SP20 lib tests pass; 9 state_reset_registry tests pass - The new GPU oracle test wr_ema_uses_segment_pnl_via_is_win_per_env_predicate passes after this commit (would FAIL on prior commit's kernel-body) - The NULL-tolerance pin null_is_win_per_env_falls_back_to_legacy_step_ret_predicate preserves the pre-fix oracle-test contract Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

test(sp20): failing test pinning WR_EMA bug — wins predicate must use segment P&L not per-bar step_ret
Plumbs new is_win_per_env i32 device-buffer arg through the
sp20_aggregate_inputs kernel signature and Rust launcher, NULL-tolerant
to preserve the legacy `step_ret_per_env > 0` predicate for existing
oracle-test scaffolds. Production caller passes 0 (NULL) in this
commit; commit 2 wires the per-env producer + collector buffer + reset
entry atomically with the kernel-body change that honors the arg.
Adds two new GPU oracle tests in sp20_aggregate_inputs_test:
- wr_ema_uses_segment_pnl_via_is_win_per_env_predicate (FAILS without
fix): step_ret all negative (tx-cost dominated close bars — the
realistic production case), is_win_per_env = [1,1,1,0]. With the
legacy predicate wins_count = 0 ⇒ is_win = 0 (the production bug).
With the fix wins_count = 3 ⇒ is_win = 1.
- null_is_win_per_env_falls_back_to_legacy_step_ret_predicate: pins
the NULL-tolerance contract so existing oracle tests + Phase 1.4
wireup test scaffolds keep working unchanged.
Bug root cause: WR_EMA pinned at 0 across all training epochs in
production (HEALTH_DIAG observed `wr_ema=0.0000` while `alpha_ema`
evolved with real values). The aggregation kernel's win predicate was
`step_ret_per_env[env] > 0.0f` at the close bar, which is the per-bar
mark-to-market `(new_value - prev_equity) / prev_equity`, NOT the
trade's segment-level outcome. At close bars `step_ret = position *
(close_t - close_{t-1}) - tx_cost`; the per-bar tick is small while
tx_cost is fixed → `step_ret < 0` is dominant across closing bars
even for trades that closed profitably overall. Result: wins_count =
0 always, is_win = 0 always, WR_EMA pinned at 0, LOSS_CAP pinned at
-1.0 (cold-start cap, never ramping to -2.0 per spec §4.1).
Fix arrives in the next commit: experience_kernels.cu segment_complete
branch writes `is_win_per_env[i] = (segment_return > 0.0f) ? 1 : 0`
(the segment-level realized-return signed-flag), passed through to
the aggregation kernel which uses the new per-env i32 buffer in place
of the per-bar `sr > 0` predicate when wired.
Per `feedback_no_partial_refactor` the kernel signature change + all
callers (production + 2 test files) migrate atomically in this commit;
the kernel-body behavioral change + producer wire-up + reset registry
+ audit-doc entry land atomically in the immediately following commit.

docs(sp20): plan accuracy errata for Phase 2 (Tasks 2.0/2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4)
Append a "Plan Accuracy Errata" section to the SP19+20 plan
documenting the 6 deviations from the original Phase 2 plan that
emerged during implementation. Each entry captures the gap, the
decision made, and the rationale, so future implementers see what
was actually built vs what was specified.
Gaps documented:
1. Task 2.0 (label-at-open infrastructure) was NEW — split out from
Task 2.2 to land buffer + alloc + reset + write site atomically
before Task 2.2's consumer ships. Sign convention mapping detail
captured (kernel emits {0, 1, -1}, SP20 spec uses {-1, 0, +1}).
2. Per-env alpha plumbing was not in Task 2.2 plan scope — built in
Task 2.2 (NOT deferred to Phase 4) to preserve the
`feedback_no_partial_refactor` contract atomicity. Touches 5
files in one commit.
3. Per-bar SP18 D-leg sites — KEEP for Phase 2 per `feedback_no_stubs`.
Plan's wording "DELETE [these helpers]" was overbroad; only the
trade-close-site call is deleted. The phantom
`compute_sp12_reward_with_cost` doesn't exist as a function (the
SP12 v3 reward is the inlined block).
4. `sp20_compute_event_reward` placement — new dedicated
`sp20_reward.cuh` header (NOT inside `experience_kernels.cu`,
NOT inside `trade_physics.cuh`). Mirrors the
compute_asymmetric_capped_pnl / compute_min_hold_penalty
header-only pattern; needed for GPU oracle test wrapper to share
the function bit-for-bit per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks`.
5. Task 2.3 was subsumed by Task 2.2 — the existing Path C chain
consumes the new `alpha` field automatically once `alpha_per_env`
is wired; no separate `sp20_emas_compute` producer call needed.
6. `min_hold_*` kernel-arg trio cleanup deferred to Task 2.4 — the 3
kernel args were deleted in Task 2.2 (per `feedback_no_hiding`)
but the upstream producer chain (`min_hold_temperature_update_kernel`,
ISV[460], `read_min_hold_temperature_from_isv`, `config.min_hold_*`)
deferred to Task 2.4 because it touches SP14 ISV slot registry +
StateResetRegistry + ISV layout fingerprint bump.
Implementation-level details remain in `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md`
Task 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2 entries; this errata is the plan-level
"what was actually built vs what was specified".

feat(sp20): Phase 2 Task 2.2 — SP12 v3 reward block → 4-quadrant + alpha plumbing (atomic)
Lands the SP20 4-quadrant reward at the experience_env_step::
segment_complete site, atomically with per-env alpha plumbing through
the SP20 aggregation kernel per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`:
* `experience_env_step.cu` — replace SP12 v3 inlined block (vol-norm
calc + base_reward + SP18 D-leg trade-close call + asymmetric cap +
min-hold penalty + r_popart/r_trail cascade, ~260 LoC) with the SP20
4-quadrant reward (~80 LoC) computing:
R_event = sp20_compute_event_reward(segment_return,
label_at_open_per_env[i],
ISV[LOSS_CAP_INDEX])
alpha = R_event - 0.0 (Phase 3.2 hold_baseline placeholder)
r_used = alpha - ISV[ALPHA_EMA_INDEX] (advantage centering)
alpha_per_env[i] = alpha (consumed by sp20_aggregate)
r_popart / r_trail = r_used (SP11 component split preserved)
Adds 3 new kernel args at the end (preserves Task 2.0 args):
float* alpha_per_env, int loss_cap_idx, int alpha_ema_idx
Deletes 3 SP12 v3 args (min_hold_target, min_hold_penalty_max,
min_hold_temperature) per `feedback_no_hiding` "wire up or delete".
* `sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu` — add `alpha_per_env` input arg
(NULL-tolerant), 5th shmem stripe (sh_alpha_sum, was 4 stripes),
per-thread close-gated accumulation, 5-way tree-reduce loop body,
output write `alpha = mean / closed_count`. Replaces the Phase 1.4
hardcoded `out_inputs->alpha = 0.0f` placeholder atomically.
* `sp20_aggregate_inputs.rs` launcher — +1 arg `alpha_per_env_dev`
(passes 0/NULL for tests). Shmem byte-count: 4 stripes → 5 stripes.
* `gpu_experience_collector.rs` — new `alpha_per_env: CudaSlice<f32>`
field [alloc_episodes], allocated next to `label_at_open_per_env`,
threaded into env_step launch + sp20_aggregate launch. Removes the
3 obsolete config.min_hold_* `.arg(...)` calls from env_step launch.
* `state_reset_registry.rs` — `alpha_per_env` FoldReset entry +
invariant test `sp20_alpha_per_env_registered_fold_reset`.
* `training_loop.rs::reset_named_state` — `alpha_per_env` dispatch arm
via `stream.memset_zeros` (mirrors `label_at_open_per_env` pattern).
* Pin-test updates per spec (atomic with the contract change):
- `sp20_aggregate_inputs_test::alpha_and_per_bar_hold_reward_are_
phase_2_and_3_2_placeholders` →
`null_alpha_producer_keeps_phase_1_4_placeholder_contract` (asserts
NULL alpha producer ⇒ alpha=0.0 backward-compat).
- `sp20_phase1_4_wireup_test::alpha_and_hold_reward_emas_stay_at_
zero_phase_2_3_2_placeholders` →
`..._with_null_producers` (same NULL-tolerance pin).
- +2 NEW tests in `sp20_aggregate_inputs_test`:
* `alpha_mean_over_closed_envs_phase_2_contract` — 4 envs (3
close, 1 doesn't), asserts close-gated mean (env 3's alpha=99
ignored).
* `alpha_zero_when_no_close_phase_2_contract` — no-close steps
emit alpha=0.0 regardless of stale alpha_per_env content.
* `dqn-wire-up-audit.md` — Task 2.2 entry documents the deleted SP12 v3
block, the per-env alpha plumbing, the retained device functions
per `feedback_no_stubs`, and the deferred Task 2.4 cleanup of the
orphaned min_hold_temperature_update_kernel producer chain.
Per `pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment`: per-bar SP18 D-leg
sites at experience_kernels.cu:3722 / :3833 are RETAINED pending
Phase 3.2 Component 2 replacement. Per `feedback_no_stubs`:
compute_sp18_hold_opportunity_cost / compute_asymmetric_capped_pnl /
compute_min_hold_penalty device functions are RETAINED (still called
by per-bar SP18 sites + sp12_reward_math_test_kernel test wrapper).
Per spec §4.1: alpha_ema centering (`R_used = alpha - alpha_ema`) is
load-bearing for cold-start learning at WR=46% with raw EV ≈ -0.06,
NOT just Q-target stability. Documented in the kernel comment block.

feat(sp20): Phase 2 Task 2.1 — sp20_compute_event_reward + 8 GPU oracle tests
Lands the SP20 Component 1 reward math as a header-only `__device__
__forceinline__` function in a new `sp20_reward.cuh` header, plus the
GPU oracle test scaffold for the 4-quadrant truth table per spec §4.1.
* `sp20_reward.cuh` — `sp20_compute_event_reward(close_pnl,
label_at_open_sign, loss_cap)` function. Returns bounded scalar
`R_event ∈ [loss_cap, +1.0]`. 4-quadrant table:
+1, +1 → +1.0 (right reason, right outcome)
+1, -1 → +0.5 (wrong reason, right outcome)
-1, -1 → -0.5 (right reason, wrong outcome)
-1, +1 → loss_cap (wrong reason, wrong outcome — ISV-driven)
0, * → 0.0 (no information — close_pnl == 0)
Sentinel `label_at_open_sign == 0` (Task 2.0 contract) maps to
dir_match=false ⇒ wrong-reason quadrant. Documented as the safer
default in the header comment.
* `sp20_event_reward_test_kernel.cu` — standalone single-thread test
wrapper, mirrors the `sp12_reward_math_test_kernel.cu` /
`thompson_test_kernel.cu` pattern. Outputs to a mapped-pinned [1]
f32 with `__threadfence_system()` for PCIe-visible coherence.
* `tests/sp20_event_reward_test.rs` — 8 GPU oracle tests
(`#[ignore = "requires GPU"]`-gated):
1. quadrant_right_reason_right_outcome
2. quadrant_wrong_reason_right_outcome
3. quadrant_right_reason_wrong_outcome
4. quadrant_wrong_reason_wrong_outcome_loss_cap_at_minus_1
5. quadrant_wrong_reason_wrong_outcome_loss_cap_at_minus_2
6. zero_pnl_returns_zero
7. sentinel_label_winning_trade_lands_shoulder (Task 2.0 contract)
8. sentinel_label_losing_trade_lands_loss_cap (Task 2.0 contract)
* `experience_kernels.cu` — `#include "sp20_reward.cuh"` so Task 2.2's
trade-close site replacement has the function in scope.
* `build.rs` — `sp20_event_reward_test_kernel.cu` cubin entry.
No production callers in this commit. Task 2.2 atomically:
- replaces the SP12 v3 reward block at experience_kernels.cu:3216-3380
with the SP20 4-quadrant reward;
- adds the `is_close` consumer of `label_at_open_per_env[i]` (Task
2.0's per-env scratch);
- threads per-env alpha through the SP20 aggregation kernel,
making `alpha_ema` non-zero post-trade-close (replacing the
Phase 1.4 0.0 forward-reference placeholder).
Per `feedback_no_partial_refactor.md` the device function ships
BEFORE the production caller so Task 2.1's GPU oracle tests can
exercise the math in isolation; the partial refactor that breaks
the no-partial-refactor rule is "feature behind the function with
no caller", which this commit's tests resolve in scope.
Per `feedback_no_cpu_test_fallbacks.md` GPU oracle only — no CPU
reference impl. Per `feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned.md`
all CPU↔GPU buffers are mapped-pinned (`MappedF32Buffer`).

feat(sp20): Phase 2 Task 2.0 — per-env trade-open label-sign infra
Lands the producer-side infrastructure for SP20 Phase 2's 4-quadrant
reward kernel (Task 2.2):
* New `[alloc_episodes]` `i32` device buffer `label_at_open_per_env`
on `GpuExperienceCollector`, allocated alongside `episode_starts_buf`.
* Two new `experience_env_step` kernel args (`aux_label_per_env` input,
`label_at_open_per_env` output), threaded into the launch site.
* Write site at the `entering_trade` branch maps the upstream aux
next-bar label (`{0,1,-1}` from `aux_sign_label_per_step_kernel`) to
the SP20 spec sign convention (`{-1,+1,0}`) per spec §4.1.
* StateResetRegistry entry `label_at_open_per_env` (FoldReset) +
`reset_named_state` dispatch arm via `stream.memset_zeros`.
* Registry invariant test `sp20_label_at_open_per_env_registered_fold_reset`
pins the FoldReset category + key description anchors.
* Audit-doc entry documents the design rationale (why per-env buffer
vs. derived-at-trade-close read), sign mapping, FoldReset semantics,
kernel-arg threading, and Task 2.1/2.2 forward references.
Producer-only this commit. The consumer (`is_close` branch reading
`label_at_open_per_env[i]` and passing to `sp20_compute_event_reward`)
lands atomically with the SP12 v3 reward block replacement in Task 2.2,
per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`.
NULL-tolerant kernel arg pair lets test scaffolds without aux-head
wiring continue to work; the FoldReset-zeroed buffer reads as sentinel
0 at the consumer (which Task 2.2 maps to "no info" / wrong-reason
quadrant — safer default than over-rewarding a no-signal trade).

fix(architectural): volume_bar_size in cache key + OFI front-month filter
## 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. Audit-doc: `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md` updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

fix(architectural): include bar formation params in fxcache key + actually USE imbalance bars
## 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.

fix(wgdc8): bypass EWMA adaptation in ImbalanceBarSampler — use fixed threshold
Without this, the configured imbalance_bar_threshold is washed out within ~5 bars by the adaptive EWMA recursion (T_new = 0.1·T_old + 0.9·observed; with α=0.1, half-life under 1 bar, fixed point = data's natural imbalance scale). The bar-resolution smoke test would have been comparing two identical equilibria, not two different resolutions. Switch mbp10_to_imbalance_bars from `new_with_ewma()` to `new()` so the configured threshold (= 2.5 on this branch, 5× the production 0.5) actually holds for the entire run. Cache-key continuity preserved (ewma_alpha still hashed and logged). Architectural follow-up: 16+ prior SP runs likely had configured-threshold- washout silently. Whether they were all measuring "ES.FUT MBP-10 equilibrium imbalance scale" regardless of the threshold value in their TOML is worth a separate investigation. Out of scope for this branch.

feat(sp20): Phase 1.4 (Path C) — kernel-arg refactor + aggregation kernel + wire-up
Atomic Phase 1.4 commit per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`. Wires the
SP20 fused-producer chain (Stats → Aggregate → EMAs → Controllers) into
GpuExperienceCollector's per-rollout-step path with one new aggregation
kernel + Phase 1.2 EMA kernel-signature refactor + production wire-up
+ tests + audit/spec/plan amendments, all in one commit.
## Path C decision rationale
The Phase 1.2 EMA kernel originally took 9 scalar value-args. The Phase
1.4 wire-up site (per-rollout-step in GpuExperienceCollector) needs to
feed per-env GPU-resident trade signals (trade_close_per_sample,
step_ret_per_sample, hold_at_exit_per_sample, packed factored
actions_out) into the kernel — forbidden via host sync
(`feedback_cpu_is_read_only`) and via memcpy_dtoh/htod
(`feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned`). Path C refactors the EMA
kernel to take a device struct pointer (`SP20EmaInputs* ema_inputs`) +
adds an aggregation kernel that writes the struct on the GPU. Phase 1.2
had zero production consumers yet, so the sig change + Phase 1.4 wire-up
land atomically.
## What this commit contains
1. **EMA kernel signature refactor** (Phase 1.2 → Path C):
`sp20_emas_compute_kernel.cu` swaps 9 scalar args for a single
`const SP20EmaInputs* __restrict__ ema_inputs` device pointer.
Math semantics bit-identical. Rust `EmaInputs` mirrored as
`#[repr(C)]` byte-for-byte; new `pack_inputs_into_f32_view` helper
for tests + collectors that fill the struct via a mapped-pinned
f32-aliased buffer.
2. **New aggregation kernel** (`sp20_aggregate_inputs_kernel.cu`):
Per-env arrays (sliced to current rollout step) + sp20_stats outputs
(p50/std) + aux_dir_acc_reduce_kernel output [0] → SP20EmaInputs
struct. Block tree-reduce (4 stripes × bdim × 4 bytes shmem); no
atomicAdd. Aggregation rules per spec §4.5:
- is_close = OR over envs
- is_win = (≥ 0.5 of closed envs were wins)
- trade_duration = round(mean(hold_at_exit) over closed envs)
- action_is_hold = strict majority (count*2 > n_envs) HOLD
- alpha = 0.0 (Phase 2 forward ref — reward kernel)
- per_bar_hold_reward = 0.0 (Phase 3.2 forward ref — Hold-cost dual)
- aux_logits_p50/std/dir_acc forwarded from upstream
3. **Production wire-up in GpuExperienceCollector**:
4 kernel handles + 4 mapped-pinned buffers (struct fields, alloc,
init); per-rollout-step launch sequence after env_step (step 5c):
`Stats → Aggregate → EMAs → Controllers`. All on the same stream;
stream-implicit producer→consumer ordering. Gated on
`isv_signals_dev_ptr != 0 && trainer_params_ptr != 0` (matches the
existing SP14-β EGF chain pattern).
4. **Fold-boundary reset**:
3 new RegistryEntry records (sp20_ema_inputs_buf,
sp20_emas_internal_buf, sp20_emas_obs_count_buf) + 13 new dispatch
arms in training_loop.rs (10 SP20 ISV slot resets + 3 buffer resets).
Closes the pre-existing `every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm`
regression (was failing on fresh check after the SP20 ISV slot
registrations landed in commit

fix(sp20): replay buffer records magnitude INTENT (Bellman consistency)
Parallel to the 2026-05-08 Class C direction fix but on the **magnitude axis**.
Class C correctly chose REALIZED for direction because env-gated trades (capital
floor / trail / broker cap → Flat) mean no trade happens — recording as Flat is
honest. For magnitude, Kelly cap clamping does NOT gate the trade — the trade
still happens, just at a smaller size. `actual_mag_core` is the bucketed
magnitude derived in trade_physics.cuh:1099-1117 from |position|/max_position;
when the policy intends Full and Kelly clamps to 0.35× max (bucket → Quarter),
recording Quarter loses the policy's intent. Q(s, mag=Full) never receives the
reward gradient from Full-intent trades that actually executed.
One-line swap inside the Class C encoding block at experience_kernels.cu:2689-
2697: `actual_mag_core * b2_size * b3_size` → `mag_idx * b2_size * b3_size`.
`mag_idx` is the local intent magnitude already decoded at line ~2460 from the
original action_idx BEFORE any Kelly/CVaR/Q-gap clamping. Direction axis keeps
Class C semantics (`actual_dir_core` → gated trades record as Flat). Order/
urgency remain intent passthrough.
`actual_mag_core` remains consumed downstream by Task 2.X per-magnitude trade-
lifecycle instrumentation at the seg_mag_bin site below — direction-branch Q
learns from realized; magnitude-branch Q learns from intent. The two axes have
different env-enforcement semantics so they take different actions at the
replay-write site.
Verification: new CPU oracle test crates/ml/tests/sp20_magnitude_intent_record_
test.rs pins the encoding contract with 4 invariants (Full→Quarter scenario,
all-pairs sweep, order/urgency passthrough, direction Class C unchanged). Per
pearl_tests_must_prove_not_lock_observations the test asserts invariants
("recorded mag == intent mag, regardless of realized") not observed values, so
it cannot become a bug-lock if the kernel's compute path changes — only if the
encoding contract itself is broken. All 4 tests pass; cargo check clean.
Audit-doc entry added to docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md as the SP20 magnitude intent
fix, parallel to the Class C direction fix above with the asymmetry between
the two axes spelled out.

feat(sp20): Phase 1.3 sp20_controllers_compute kernel
Component 5 / Kernel 2 of the SP20 fused-producer chain — the
deterministic derivation step. Reads the EMAs Phase 1.2's
sp20_emas_compute wrote (4 ISV + 4 internal scratch slots) and
derives 6 controller outputs into ISV slots:
- LOSS_CAP (510) = -1 - clamp((wr-0.50)/0.05, 0, 1)
- HOLD_COST_SCALE (513) two-sided ramp around TARGET_HOLD_PCT ±0.05
- TARGET_HOLD_PCT (514) = clamp(0.8 - aux_p50_ema*1.5, 0.1, 0.8)
- N_STEP (517) = clamp(round(trade_dur_ema), 1, 30) (f32)
- AUX_CONF_THRESHOLD (518) = clamp(aux_dir_acc_ema-0.50, 0.01, 0.20)
- AUX_GATE_TEMP (519) = max(aux_conf_std_ema, 0.01)
TARGET_HOLD_PCT computed before HOLD_COST_SCALE because the
HOLD_COST_SCALE controller reads tgt; implemented as a local f32
written to ISV then re-used for the controller (no redundant ISV
read-back). HOLD_COST_SCALE is the only output that READS its own
previous ISV value (in-place update); deadband path writes the
unchanged previous value verbatim per feedback_no_stubs.
Single-block, single-thread kernel — captureable in the per-step
CUDA Graph per pearl_no_host_branches_in_captured_graph. ISV +
internal pointers are mapped-pinned device pointers (existing
buffers from Phase 1.2); kernel emits __threadfence_system() for
PCIe-visible coherence.
Pearls + invariants honoured:
- pearl_controller_anchors_isv_driven: every output's anchor /
target / cap derives from EMAs; only spec-frozen ramp / clamp
parameters are compile-time constants.
- feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds: these 6 outputs ARE the
adaptive bounds.
- feedback_no_atomicadd, feedback_no_cpu_compute_strict,
feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned, feedback_no_stubs.
- feedback_no_partial_refactor: kernel + launcher + tests + build
entry land atomically; production wire-up lands in Phase 1.4.
- pearl_tests_must_prove_not_lock_observations: 7 GPU oracle
tests assert clamp boundaries, formula correctness, and
bidirectional ramp behavior — NOT specific observed values.
Tests (all #[ignore = "requires GPU"], pass on RTX 3050 Ti sm_86):
1. loss_cap_ramp_boundaries — 4 wr_ema sweeps incl. clamps.
2. n_step_bounds — round + clamp [1, 30].
3. aux_conf_threshold_bounds — clamp [0.01, 0.20].
4. aux_gate_temp_floor — max(std, 0.01).
5. target_hold_pct_inverse_relation — 0.8 − p50*1.5 with clamps.
6. hold_cost_scale_two_sided_ramp — up/down/deadband + clamps.
7. all_six_outputs_written_in_one_launch — guards missed writes.
Plus 3 launcher unit tests (slot range, slot uniqueness, ISV input
slot range).
Verification:
SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo check -p ml --features cuda
SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo test -p ml \
--test sp20_controllers_compute_test --features cuda \
-- --ignored --nocapture
→ 7/7 GPU oracle tests pass; 3/3 launcher unit tests pass.
Phase 1.4 will land the production caller atomically alongside
Kernel 1 + Kernel 3 launches on the same stream in order
Stats → EMAs → Controllers per the SP20 design.

feat(sp20): Phase 1.2 sp20_emas_compute kernel
Component 5 / Kernel 1 of the SP20 design — central state-tracker
that updates 8 Wiener-α EMAs per training step:
- 4 ISV slots: ALPHA_EMA (511), WR_EMA (512),
HOLD_PCT_EMA (515), HOLD_REWARD_EMA (516)
- 4 internal: trade_duration_ema, aux_conf_p50_ema,
aux_conf_std_ema, aux_dir_acc_ema (private
scratch consumed by Phase 1.3 controllers)
Per-EMA i32 observation counters (mapped-pinned obs_count[8])
handle the pearl_first_observation_bootstrap sentinel transition
correctly even when 0.0 is a legitimate observation (e.g.,
first-loss WR=0). count==0 ⇒ replace, count>0 ⇒ Wiener-blend at
α = 0.4 (WIENER_ALPHA_FLOOR per
pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary).
Phase 1.2 lands kernel + launcher + 5 tests (4 GPU oracle, 1
floor lock) + build entry + audit doc atomically per
feedback_no_partial_refactor. Production wire-up (Phase 1.4)
deferred — kernel is dead code until then.
Verified on RTX 3050 Ti (sm_86):
- 4 GPU oracle tests pass: first_observation_replaces_sentinel,
wiener_alpha_converges_to_long_run_mean,
hold_reward_ema_gated_on_hold_bars,
per_step_emas_fire_unconditionally
- 4 launcher unit tests pass (constants + struct sanity)
- 1 floor-lock test pass (WIENER_ALPHA_FLOOR == 0.4)

feat(sp20): Phase 1.1 sp20_stats_compute kernel
Component 5 / Kernel 3 of the SP20 fused-producer chain. Single-block BLOCK=256 kernel reads `aux_logits [B, 3]` (the SP14-C aux head's 3-class direction logits) and emits `[aux_conf_p50, aux_conf_std]` into a `MappedF32Buffer<2>`, where the per-row signal is `aux_conf[i] = max_c softmax(logits[i, *])[c] - 1/3`. p50 uses the inlined `sp4_histogram_p99` pattern (per-warp tile binning + cumulative-from-bottom, no atomicAdd per `feedback_no_atomicadd`); std uses two block tree-reductions sharing one shmem tile sequentially. One fused kernel streams `aux_logits` once for both stats per `pearl_fused_per_group_statistics_oracle`. Phase 1.4 wires the production launch site atomically with the rest of the SP20 reward chain per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`. This commit lands kernel + Rust launcher + GPU oracle tests + build entry + audit-doc entry together so the kernel is independently verifiable on RTX 3050 Ti (sm_86) and L40S (sm_89) before the EMA + controller producers (Phase 1.2 + 1.3) reference its outputs. Tests verify: - uniform logits → aux_conf = 0 → [p50, std] = [0, 0] - varied confidence (logit ramp 0 → 3) → matches CPU oracle - heterogeneous half-hot half-uniform → matches CPU oracle - empty batch → degenerate-guard writes [0, 0] All 4 GPU oracle tests + 4 launcher unit tests pass on RTX 3050 Ti. Test data uses per-row variance to avoid the `pearl_sp4_histogram_warp_tile_undercount` lockstep-uniform trap (concentrated values within one bin_width race the per-warp non-atomic increments).

spec(sp19+20): apply Q1(b) — Hold-reward EMA for Q-scale comparability
Q1 design decision (b): add explicit hold_reward_ema to center the per-bar Hold reward, so Q(Hold) and Q(trade) targets are scale-comparable. The marginal Q(trade) > Q(Hold) preference now comes from data variance in each state (high-aux states pull Q(Hold) more negative), not from structural scale asymmetry that depends on cost_scale magnitude. Q2 decision: keep 4-quadrant fixed (no ramping partials). Already in spec. Changes: - §4.2 Hold opp-cost: dual emission documented — R_per_bar_centered (= R_per_bar - hold_reward_ema) for Q-target/replay tuple, R_per_bar uncentered for hold_baseline_buffer (Component 1 baseline) - §4.5 Kernel 1: hold_reward_ema added (per-step on Hold-state bars only) - §5 data flow: per-bar reward path shows the centered/uncentered split - ISV slots: 9 → 10 (HOLD_REWARD_EMA_INDEX added) - §8 footprint: Component 2 LoC 70 → 90 (+20 for dual emission) - Total LoC estimate: 1620 |

Replay buffer schema change (per-bar aux_conf) added to §8 implementation footprint (~50 LoC additional, was invisible in original spec) 3. hold_baseline_buffer size specified = LOOKAHEAD_HORIZON_MAX = 30 bars (§4.2) 4. "4-tier gate" typo → "5-tier gate" in §7 P2 (clarifications): 5. alpha_ema centering documented as load-bearing for cold-start learning (§4.1) — not just for Q-target stability. EV is slightly negative at WR=46% with uninformed SP19 label; advantage-style centering rescues cold-start. 6. Q-scale asymmetry between Hold (uncentered) and trade (alpha_ema centered) documented as INTENTIONAL design choice (§4.2) — produces marginal Q(trade) > Q(Hold) preference that counteracts the Q(Hold) attractor. Behavioral test sp20_pure_noise validates the no-signal Hold default still works. P3 (tightening): 7. Behavioral test thresholds tightened (§4.6): - sp20_pure_trend: WR > 70% → > 90%, PF > 2.0 → > 3.0 - sp20_pure_noise: Hold% > 80% → > 95%, trades < 50 → < 20 |

Combines SP19 (multi-horizon labels, already landed) + SP20 (WR-first reward) into one spec per pearl_no_deferrals_for_complementary_fixes. Goal: WR ≥ 55%, textbook PF ≥ 2.0, walk-forward stable, per-regime stable. Six components, atomic ship per feedback_no_partial_refactor: 1. Reward kernel (event-driven, 4-quadrant, asymmetric clamp ramped from wr_ema, multi-horizon directional ground-truth check) 2. Hold opportunity-cost (per-bar, dual emission for real reward + Hold baseline buffer) 3. n-step credit distributor (uniform over trade duration, fixes SP18 B-leg self-bootstrap bug at gpu_experience_collector.rs:4154) 4. Aux→Q confidence gate (sigmoid threshold, mean_a Q baseline avoids Hold-everywhere punishment) 5. 3 fused producer kernels (sp20_emas, sp20_controllers, sp20_stats) driving 9 ISV slots in [510..520) 6. 7 behavioral tests on RTX 3050 Ti, gating L40S deployment ~1,550 LoC total. Spec includes data flow, error handling philosophy, 4-tier test gate, success criteria with explicit failure modes. Cross-references: - pearl_event_driven_reward_density_alignment (design principle) - pearl_audit_unboundedness_for_implicit_asymmetry (asymmetric clamp) - pearl_separate_aux_trunk_when_shared_starves (aux gate leverages SP14-C) - project_metric_pipeline_inflation_audit (WR honest, Sharpe honest, goal grounded) - project_goal_wr_55_pf_2 (the goal this spec implements) |

feat(sp19 commit b): producer-side multi-horizon reward blend at fxcache write time
Path (B) Commit B — load-bearing semantic change for the SP19 multi-
horizon reward augmentation. At fxcache-write time, blend 1-bar / 5-bar
/ 30-bar log-returns into `tgt[1]` (`preproc_next`) using equal-thirds
weights with `1/sqrt(N)` vol-scale correction:
blended = (1/3) * r_1
+ (1/3) * r_5 / sqrt(5)
+ (1/3) * r_30 / sqrt(30)
The vol-scale correction applies INSIDE the blend (before weighting) so
each horizon's log-return is at unit-volatility-equivalent under
random-walk assumption — drops naturally into the existing `tgt[1]`
preprocessing pipeline (consumed in `experience_kernels.cu:1556` and
`cuda_pipeline/mod.rs:508`) without double-scaling.
Producer trim: valid range shrinks by `LOOKAHEAD_HORIZON_MAX = 30`
bars since `r_30` needs `close[i + WARMUP + 30]`. Walk-forward fold
construction is dataset-relative, so trimming at producer time shifts
every fold's tail by 30 bars — one-time cost per fxcache regen.
Both producer call sites (`precompute_features.rs` for the
feature-precompute binary, `data_loading.rs` for the DBN-fallback
in-process path) change atomically per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`.
Kernel consumers are unchanged — only `tgt[1]`'s value composition
differs from the consumer's perspective.
ISV slots [507..510) (allocated in Commit A) are NOT consumed at
producer time — `precompute_features` runs BEFORE training so the
ISV bus isn't initialised when the blend happens. Producer hardcodes
1/3 each via `SP19_HORIZON_BLEND_WEIGHTS`. Future Path (A) refactor
would bump TARGET_DIM to carry per-horizon log-returns and read
ISV at training-step time; for the empirical hypothesis test
("does multi-horizon blend lift WR?") equal-thirds is sufficient.
fxcache schema invalidation: `FXCACHE_VERSION` 8 → 9. Existing
`.fxcache` files (1-bar-only `preproc_next`) fail validation at load
and trigger Argo's ensure-fxcache regen step. First L40S run after
this commit takes ~10-15 min longer for the regen — one-time cost,
expected.
Touches:
- crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs: SP19_HORIZON_BLEND_WEIGHTS
constant + LOOKAHEAD_HORIZON_MAX trim + blend in tgt[] writer +
early-bail-out check on minimum dataset size.
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/data_loading.rs: same blend +
trim in DBN-fallback path; `last sample targets itself` block
removed (the trimmed range guarantees feature-vector and target
lengths match without a sentinel last row).
- crates/ml/src/fxcache.rs: FXCACHE_VERSION 8 → 9 + v9 docstring entry.
- crates/ml/tests/multi_horizon_reward_blend_test.rs (NEW): CPU-only
oracle behavioural test — 4 cases including known returns, trim
contract, zero-close short-circuit, constant-price blend.
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: Concerns subsection appended to the
SP19 Commit B entry already drafted in Commit A (pre-existing
test_fxcache_empty + test_dqn_checkpoint_round_trip flakiness
documented for Invariant 7).

Atomic-refactor invariant satisfied: Commit A (slot reservations) +
Commit B (producer-side blend) land on the same branch with no L40S
dispatch between. Per task instruction the branch stays unpushed
pending user review.
DBN-fallback path: applied identically in `data_loading.rs:497-528`.
Both producers use the same `SP19_HORIZON_BLEND_WEIGHTS` constant and
the same `LOOKAHEAD_HORIZON_MAX = 30` trim.
Vol-scale correction site: applied inside the blend (before weighting)
in BOTH producers. The existing `tgt[1]` preprocessing pipeline does
NOT double-scale — `experience_kernels.cu:1556` and
`cuda_pipeline/mod.rs:508` consume `tgt[1]` as a unit-scale log-return
exactly as before the blend was added; the blended value drops in
without further scaling.

feat(sp19 commit a): ISV slot reservations [507..510) for multi-horizon reward blend
Path (B) Commit A — additive infrastructure for the SP19 producer-side
multi-horizon reward augmentation. Three ISV slots reserve indices for
a future Path (A) refactor that would let a controller drive per-batch
horizon weights; producer (Commit B) hardcodes equal-thirds 1/3 each at
fxcache-write time so the slot reservations are dormant in this branch.
Pure additive — changes NO runtime behaviour. The dispatch arms write
the equal-thirds sentinel at every fold boundary, but no kernel
consumes the slots. This is forward-compatible reservation per
feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds, NOT a half-fix; the producer wiring
is complete (next commit), the slot reservations are documented
forward-compatibility for the TARGET_DIM-bumping refactor.
Slot allocation:
- 507 REWARD_HORIZON_WEIGHT_1BAR_INDEX sentinel = 1/3
- 508 REWARD_HORIZON_WEIGHT_5BAR_INDEX sentinel = 1/3
- 509 REWARD_HORIZON_WEIGHT_30BAR_INDEX sentinel = 1/3
Touches:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/sp14_isv_slots.rs: 3 slot constants +
sentinel + range markers + sp19_reward_horizon_slot_layout_locked +
all_sp19_slots_fit_within_isv_total_dim lock tests.
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: ISV_TOTAL_DIM 507 →
510 + layout_fingerprint_seed extension (3 SLOT_* lines + a
SP19_PRODUCER_HARDCODED_HORIZON_BLEND token registering producer-time
consumption).
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/state_layout.cuh: 3 #define mirrors of
the Rust slot indices + SENTINEL_REWARD_HORIZON_WEIGHT_DEFAULT macro.
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/state_reset_registry.rs: 3 RegistryEntry {
FoldReset } with the "SP19 Path (B) reservation" marker + lock-test
expansion 24 → 27 entries.
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: 3 dispatch arms
in reset_named_state writing SENTINEL_REWARD_HORIZON_WEIGHT_DEFAULT.
- docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md: SP19 Commit A entry documenting the
reservation rationale + verification steps.
Verification:
SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo check --workspace clean
cargo test -p ml --lib sp19_reward_horizon_slot_layout_locked passes
cargo test -p ml --lib all_sp19_slots_fit_within_isv_total_dim passes

cargo test -p ml --lib every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm passes
bash scripts/audit_sp18_consumers.sh --check exit 0
Atomic-refactor invariant (HARD — feedback_no_partial_refactor): NO
L40S DISPATCH between Commit A and Commit B. The producer-side blend
+ fxcache version bump + behavioural test land in the next commit on
this branch.

fix(audit): lookahead housekeeping — purge gap + per-fold NormStats
Closes recs 2 + 3 in lookahead-bias-audit-2026-04-28.md.
Fix 2A (rec 2): add walk_forward::PURGE_BARS = 5 constant and insert
val_start = train_end + PURGE_BARS in all 4 fold-construction sites:
generate_walk_forward_indices, _from_timestamps, _windows (date-based,
drops first PURGE_BARS bars of val), and gpu_walk_forward::generate_folds
(both stratified variants preserve the gap on boundary shift). 5-bar
width matches max per-bar feature lookback (autocorr lags 1/5/10);
compile-time per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds since the
feature-pipeline lookback is itself compile-time.
Fix 2B (rec 3): per-fold NormStats fit from train-only data.
- walk_forward.rs: add from_features_slice + denormalize/denormalize_batch
helpers (inverse of normalize_batch for clamp-bounded round-trip).
- train_baseline_rl.rs fold loop: load fxcache sidecar norm_stats.json,
denormalise back to RAW, refit per-fold via from_features_slice,
renormalise full dataset, re-upload via init_from_fxcache, save
per-fold norm_stats_fold{N}.json. DBN-fallback path keeps legacy
behaviour (no sidecar to denormalise from) with a warn! log.
Ensemble trainer block is documented follow-up (separate code path).
Behavioral tests:
- test_norm_stats_per_fold_fit_train_only: synthetic train-mean=1.0 /
val-mean=9.0 dataset; from_features_slice recovers train-only mean to
ε=1e-5 while from_features returns global 5.0
- test_norm_stats_denormalize_roundtrip: non-clamped features round-trip
bit-identically
- test_walk_forward_purge_gap_indices_from_timestamps: every fold has
val_start - train_end == PURGE_BARS
- test_fold_generation_basic (gpu_walk_forward): updated to expect the
purge gap
Validation: cargo check --workspace clean (12.30s); 20/20 walk_forward
+ gpu_walk_forward tests pass; audit_sp18_consumers.sh --check exit 0.
Pre-existing test failures on local RTX 3050 Ti are unrelated SIGSEGVs
(VRAM exhaustion in chunked Thompson tests, pre-existing on baseline).

feat(audit): per-regime val WR instrumentation (T/R/V buckets)
Adds 6 output slots to compute_backtest_metrics_kernel — per-bucket
(win_rate, trade_count) for the {Trending, Ranging, Volatile} regime
split — so the val backtest surfaces whether the long-running ~46%
aggregate WR hides regime-conditional edge. Trades are bucketed at
trade-OPEN by feature[40] (ADX-norm) per the structural thresholds
(T:ADX>0.4, R:ADX<0.2, V:otherwise), mirroring
gpu_walk_forward.rs::classify_regime_from_features. Block tree-reduce
only per feedback_no_atomicadd. Observability-only emission via new
HEALTH_DIAG[N]: val_regime [wr_T=... n_T=... wr_R=... n_R=... wr_V=...
n_V=...] line; thresholds remain kernel constants per
feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds (no controller consumer yet).
Implementation atomic (kernel + launcher + WindowMetrics + HEALTH_DIAG
emit + 3 GPU oracle tests + audit doc):
- backtest_metrics_kernel.cu: per-thread per-regime trade counters,
2-slot boundary buffer extension carrying open-bar regime through
block stitch, output stride 13 → 19, shmem 5 → 11 reduction tiles
- gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs: WindowMetrics +6 fields, metrics_buf
size 13 → 19, launcher passes features_buf + feature_dim, consume
populates per-regime fields
- metrics.rs: val_regime HEALTH_DIAG line in consume_validation_loss
- regime_wr_oracle_tests.rs (NEW): 1 CPU sanity + 3 GPU oracle tests
(bit-exact match ε=1e-5 vs CPU oracle on stratified 30/40/30 batch)
Validation: cargo check --workspace clean; 17/17 gpu_backtest_evaluator
unit tests pass; 1+3/4 regime WR tests pass on local RTX 3050 Ti
(1.89s); audit_sp18_consumers.sh --check exit 0.

chore(sp18): refresh audit fingerprint after Phase 4 docstring update
Off-by-one count drift in the td_lambda_kernel launch-sites bucket (19→20) from a single additional reference in sp18_td_lambda_q_next_oracle_tests.rs's docstring (the docstring now mentions td_lambda_kernel one extra time per the T_SKEL.3 atomic-refactor guard test).

feat(sp18 v2 P4.T1+T2): B-leg next_states hoist + compute_q_next_target_bootstrap skeleton (additive dead code)
Phase 4 lands the additive infrastructure for the B-leg target-Q DDQN
bootstrap that Phase 5 will swap into td_lambda_kernel's q_next argument
at gpu_experience_collector.rs:~4313 (post-Task-4.1 hoist).
Tasks landed:
- **Task 4.1**: build_next_states_f32 invocation hoisted to BEFORE
the TD(λ) launch block. Pure ordering change — verified via the
SP18 audit grep flagging 0 post-TD(λ) consumers of next_states.
- **Task 4.2**: compute_q_next_target_bootstrap skeleton method on
GpuExperienceCollector with full plan-aligned signature
(next_states, target_params_ptr, online_params_ptr, batch_size →
Result<CudaSlice<f32>, MLError>). Body is a hard-error early-return
per feedback_no_stubs — no production caller in Phase 4 (the
caller is wired by Phase 5 Task 5.1, replacing the self-bootstrap
clone). Returning Err satisfies Invariant 9 (no deferred-work
markers); any accidental pre-Phase-5 call hard-errors with a
clear pointer to the open sub-tasks.
Tasks 4.3 (online forward + DDQN per-branch argmax), 4.4 (target
forward + compute_expected_q gather), 4.5 (replace error early-return
with full implementation + GPU oracle test gates) are deferred to a
follow-up subagent dispatch per their plan-defined per-task TDD cycle
scope. Each requires substantial new infrastructure on the collector
(target-net trunk forward chain duplicating gpu_dqn_trainer.rs Pass 2's
VSN+BN+OFI+trunk+branch-head sequence).
Tests:
- crates/ml/tests/sp18_td_lambda_q_next_oracle_tests.rs (NEW):
3 introspection tests (no GPU required):
* compute_q_next_target_bootstrap_method_exists
* next_states_built_before_td_lambda (Task 4.1 ordering invariant)
* td_lambda_still_consumes_self_bootstrap_q_next_in_phase4
(Phase 4→Phase 5 atomic-refactor guard)
Atomic-refactor invariant (HARD — feedback_no_partial_refactor):
NO L40S DISPATCH between this Phase 4 close-out commit and the
Phase 5 Task 5.1 commit that replaces the q_next clone with
self.compute_q_next_target_bootstrap(&next_states, ...).
Verification:
SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 cargo check --workspace → clean
SQLX_OFFLINE=true CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP=86 \
cargo test -p ml --test sp18_td_lambda_q_next_oracle_tests

feat(sp18 v2 P3.T1-T5): adaptive HOLD_REWARD_POS/NEG_CAP producer kernel
Lifts the Phase 2 caps from sentinel-driven cold-start (5.0/-10.0
fixed) to p99(|step_ret|) over Long/Short trade closes × 1.5 safety
factor with Wiener-optimal alpha blend. The Phase 2 consumer
(compute_sp18_hold_opportunity_cost) sees producer-driven slots
[483]/[484] from epoch 1 onward; sentinel branch in the consumer
remains as the cold-start fallback path (zero-trade-close epoch ⇒
producer early-returns ⇒ slots stay at sentinel ⇒ consumer falls
through to the +5/-10 macro defaults — bit-identical to pre-Phase-3).
Mirrors SP14 P0-A reward_cap_update_kernel structural template with
three differences: (1) filter (is_close && step_ret != 0) — both
winners AND losers (the consumer needs the magnitude scale of *all*
Long/Short closes); (2) Welford-derived Wiener-α (slots [487..493))
replaces fixed α=0.01, with floor at WELFORD_ALPHA_MIN=0.4 per
pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary (the policy-realised
distribution is intrinsically non-stationary as the policy adapts);
(3) bounds [0.5, 50.0] (vs. position-side [1.0, 50.0]).
Atomic single-commit per feedback_no_partial_refactor:
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/hold_reward_cap_update_kernel.cu (NEW)
- crates/ml/build.rs cubin manifest entry
- HoldRewardCapUpdateOps in gpu_aux_trunk.rs (new struct + impl)
- HOLD_REWARD_CAP_UPDATE_CUBIN static + struct field +
launch_hold_reward_cap_update method + constructor instantiation +
field-init in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs (5 sites)
- Per-epoch boundary launch in training_loop.rs right AFTER
launch_reward_cap_update (shared step_ret/trade_close source buffers,
independent ISV slot pairs)
- HEALTH_DIAG[N]: hold_reward_cap [pos={:.4} neg={:.4} fire_rate={:.4}]
- 3 GPU oracle tests (T5 producer-drives-slots, Pearl-A REPLACE,
no-closes preserves-isv) — all pass on local RTX 3050 Ti
- Phase 3 close-out sections in docs/sp18-wireup-audit.md and
docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md
Pearls applied: feedback_no_atomicadd, pearl_first_observation_bootstrap,
pearl_wiener_optimal_adaptive_alpha, pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary,
pearl_no_host_branches_in_captured_graph, pearl_symmetric_clamp_audit,
pearl_audit_unboundedness_for_implicit_asymmetry (NEG = -2 × POS at
producer time, single source of truth), feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds,
pearl_fused_per_group_statistics_oracle.
Validation: cargo check --workspace clean; 3 GPU oracle tests pass on
local RTX 3050 Ti; scripts/audit_sp18_consumers.sh --check exits 0
(no fingerprint drift in tracked sections).
Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-08-sp18-reward-shape-hold-attractor.md

chore(sp18): refresh audit fingerprint for archaeology cleanup self-references
The cleanup commit's own additions to docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md (the 2026-05-09 archaeology-cleanup-pass entry) cite HOLD_COST_SCALE_INDEX, hold_cost_scale_update_kernel, and HOLD_COST_INDEX by name in the prose describing what was stripped. The audit script's per-section grep counts those legitimately, producing a +1/+1/+4 hit-count drift on docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md across the slot 380, slot 461, and hold_cost_scale_update_kernel sections respectively. Regenerate the fingerprint snapshot in docs/sp18-wireup-audit.md so `scripts/audit_sp18_consumers.sh --check` passes against the new post-cleanup baseline.

feat(sp18 v2 P1.T3-T6): atomic delete SP13/SP16 hold_cost_scale chain
Deletes the entire reactive Hold-cost controller chain from SP13 P0a / SP16
P2 / SP16 T3 atomically — replaced by the SP18 D-leg structural opportunity-
cost reward landing in Phase 2.
Per DD7(c): observation chain preserved (slots 380, 382). Slot 380 becomes
constructor-init-only diagnostic at HOLD_COST_BASE=0.005, never updated.
18 consumer sites deleted (8 from plan checklist + 10 from A1-A10 audit
expansion):
Production code:
- 3 reward subtraction sites (replaced with Phase 2 placeholder comments)
- hold_cost_scale_update_kernel.cu (file deleted)
- HoldCostScaleUpdateOps struct in gpu_aux_trunk.rs (~120 lines)
- launch_hold_cost_scale_update in gpu_dqn_trainer.rs (forwarder)
- Host controller block in training_loop.rs (~60 lines)
- Slot constants [461..468) in sp14_isv_slots.rs
- HOLD_COST_CONTROLLER_GAIN/FLOOR/CEIL constants in sp13_isv_slots.rs
- state_layout.cuh mirror constants for [461..468)
- build.rs cubin manifest entry
- 7 fold-reset registry entries + 7 dispatch arms
Tests:
- sp14_oracle_tests.rs lines 2173-2926 (11 tests + helpers, ~750 lines)
— these include_bytes! the deleted cubin and cannot survive
- lock_sp18_v2_pp4_retired_chain test (deleted, no inverse-contract
replacement — locking a deletion is pointless ceremony per user call)
Layout fingerprint: range [461..468) is RESERVED gap (SP14-C.1 pattern;
ISV_TOTAL_DIM stays at 507 for checkpoint compatibility). Layout fingerprint
seed updated atomically: HOLD_COST_SCALE + HCS_* slots replaced with
RESERVED_GAP_461_TO_468=SP18_P1_RETIRED marker.
INTERIM STATE: 3 reward sites are now missing the per-bar Hold cost. This
is forbidden to L40S-dispatch until Phase 2 lands the
compute_sp18_hold_opportunity_cost device fn that replaces the deleted
subtraction. The audit doc records this hold.
Validation: cargo check --workspace clean; cargo test -p ml --lib passes
(state_reset_registry::every_fold_and_soft_reset_entry_has_dispatch_arm,
sp16_t3_wiener_welford_slot_layout_locked, sp18_combined_slot_layout_locked,
sp18_shrink_perturb_slot_layout_locked, sp18_fold_reset_entries_present —
all OK). Audit fingerprint: per-bar Hold-cost subtraction sites count
13 → 0 (smoking gun for complete deletion).

feat(sp18 v2 P1.T1+T2): pre-dispatch consumer-audit script + pre-commit hook
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.

feat(sp18-v2): weight-drift HEALTH_DIAG diagnostic
Add per-epoch HEALTH_DIAG line measuring how far current online params
have drifted from the best-Sharpe checkpoint. The fold-transition
restore-best fix preserves peak weights across folds, but within-fold
edge-decay still happens (Adam keeps stepping after peak Sharpe). The
drift diagnostic surfaces the trajectory so operators can correlate
Sharpe-peak decay with parameter movement.
HEALTH_DIAG line:
HEALTH_DIAG[N]: weight_drift [norm_l2={:.6} relative={:.6} branch_max={:.6}]
Where:
- norm_l2 = ||params_flat - best_params||₂ (absolute L2)
- relative = norm_l2 / max(||best_params||₂, EPS) (relative drift)
- branch_max — currently mirrors `relative` (single-scalar form per spec).
Per-branch breakdown is a deferred follow-up: branch heads are
protected from S&P (skip_start..skip_end), so trunk drift dominates
the L2 in any case.
Cold-start: when best_params_snapshot is None (first fold or any fold
without a Sharpe improvement yet), launcher emits [0.0, 0.0] directly
(kernel skipped, mapped-pinned host slice written from CPU).
Distinguishable from "snapshot matches current" via best_epoch elsewhere.
Kernel (weight_drift_diag_kernel.cu): single block × 256 threads. Two
block tree-reductions sharing one shmem tile sequentially:
Pass 1: ||params - best||₂² over (params - best)
Pass 2: ||best||₂² over best
Thread 0 finalizes sqrt + EPS-floored ratio + writes via
__threadfence_system() for PCIe-visible coherence.
Per feedback_no_atomicadd — block tree-reduce only.
Per feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned — output is
MappedF32Buffer<2>; cold-start bypass uses host_slice_mut.
Wire-up (atomic):
- crates/ml/build.rs: cubin manifest entry
- crates/ml/src/cuda_pipeline/weight_drift_diag_kernel.cu (NEW)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/fused_training.rs: field + constructor
+ launch_weight_drift_diag() + read_weight_drift_diag()
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/mod.rs:
DQNTrainer::read_weight_drift_diag() public wrapper (CPU-only path
emits zeros)
- crates/ml/src/trainers/dqn/trainer/training_loop.rs: per-epoch
HEALTH_DIAG emit adjacent to SP17 dueling block
GPU oracle test (crates/ml/tests/sp18_weight_drift_test.rs, NEW):
4 cases, all #[ignore = "requires GPU"]:
1. weight_drift_matches_cpu_oracle_4096 — N=4096, ε=1e-5
2. weight_drift_is_zero_when_params_equals_best
3. weight_drift_eps_floor_when_best_is_zero (catches NaN/Inf edge)
4. weight_drift_n_zero_emits_zeros (degenerate guard)
All 4 pass on local RTX 3050 Ti.
Pre-commit Invariant 7: docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md updated with kernel
algorithm, wire-up table, cross-pearl invariants, and oracle-test
inventory.
Per:
- feedback_no_atomicadd (block tree-reduce in drift kernel)
- feedback_no_htod_htoh_only_mapped_pinned (MappedF32Buffer<2>)
- feedback_wire_everything_up (kernel + launcher + emit + test atomic)
- pearl_no_host_branches_in_captured_graph (cold-path, outside graph)
- feedback_no_partial_refactor (single atomic commit)
