The stale comments agent incorrectly changed calculate_diversity_penalty's
max_entropy from log2(3) to log2(9). But this function takes 3-bucket
BUY/SELL/HOLD ratios — max entropy of 3 buckets IS log2(3).
The log2(9) change was correct for the LOGGING in extract_objective
(which displays max_entropy for 9 exposure actions), but wrong for the
penalty function that operates on 3 action categories.
Reverted to log2(3) and restored test assertions.

- gpu_backtest_evaluator: "5-bit mask" → "9-bit mask" (9 exposure levels)
- dqn.rs CVaR ramp: updated examples to match current formula (excess*100).min(3.0)
- dqn.rs module doc: "maximizes" → "minimizes", weights match actual code
- entropy max_entropy: log2(3) → log2(9) in both occurrences

- bars_per_day: now propagated from DQNHyperparameters to GpuBacktestConfig
(was silently using Default 390.0 regardless of hyperparams setting)
- trading_days_per_year: added to GpuBacktestConfig, replaces hardcoded 252.0
in annualization_factor computation
- Annualization: sqrt(bars_per_day * trading_days_per_year) is now fully
configurable for any bar frequency and market calendar

- spread_cost: backtest now uses tick_size * contract_multiplier * fill_spread_cost_frac
(was tick_size * spread_ticks = 25x lower than training → train/eval mismatch)
- Trailing stop: remove regime-adaptive scaling from training kernel.
Both train and eval now use fixed 0.5% trail distance (vol_scale=1.0, trend_scale=1.0).
Model observes ADX/CUSUM via state features and adjusts behavior — trailing stop is
a safety net, not a strategy component.
- Branch sizes: refactored out of hardcoded 9/3/3 in gpu_backtest_evaluator.rs.
Now stored on GpuBacktestEvaluator struct, set from DqnBacktestConfig in ensure_cublas_ready.
launch_env_step and launch_metrics_and_download read from self.b0/b1/b2_size.

- apply_margin_cap: position scales DOWN as drawdown increases.
At 0% DD → 100% position, at 12.5% DD → 50%, at 20% DD → 20%.
Prevents multi-bar cascading losses that pushed max_dd to 38-51%.
- Add trading_days_per_year to DQNHyperparameters (default 252).
Configurable for crypto (365) or different markets.
- Fix trailing stop comment: value IS prev_equity (not approximation).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add spread_cost as 28th param to experience_env_step kernel
- Wire from DQNHyperparameters.fill_spread_cost_frac through
ExperienceCollectorConfig to the kernel launch
- Training execute_trade() and compute_tx_cost() now use spread_cost
(was hardcoded 0.0, backtest used real spread_cost)
- All compute_tx_cost calls in training use spread_cost consistently
This was the LAST remaining train/eval transaction cost mismatch.

Training kernel now has same order as backtest:
decode → trailing_stop → hold_enforcement → execute_trade → mark_to_market
Previously hold ran AFTER execute_trade and undid it by resetting
position/cash from ps[]. Now hold modifies target_position BEFORE
execute_trade, so the trade sees the correct target and no undo is needed.
This eliminates the last train/eval order-of-operations mismatch.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Move trailing stop BEFORE execute_trade in training kernel (was after,
then undone). Now matches backtest: check → modify target → execute.
Eliminates the wasteful execute-then-undo pattern.
- Trailing stop uses current-bar unrealized (not raw_next forward-looking)
for train/eval consistency
- Add b2_size/b1_size guards to action re-encoding in both kernels
(prevents division by zero if branch sizes are ever 0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- actions_history: record post-enforcement action (re-encode from final
position) instead of raw model action — fixes inflated trade counts
- Trailing stop exit cost: use compute_tx_cost() in training kernel
(was simplified inline formula) — matches backtest
- Trailing stop trade return: use portfolio-weighted formula in backtest
(position * (close - entry) / value) — matches training pattern
- Hold time: training kernel uses update_hold_time() from shared header
(was 8-line inline duplicate)
- Second comprehensive scan: zero inline duplicates, 2 acceptable
medium-severity train/eval differences remain (trailing stop uses
raw_next in training vs close in backtest — by design)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Final 3 inline duplicates replaced with shared function calls:
- execute_trade(): notional cash model (was inline cash/position update)
- check_trailing_stop(): regime-adaptive trailing stop decision
- enforce_hold(): hold enforcement decision (action aliasing kept inline)
Training kernel now uses ALL 10 shared functions from trade_physics.cuh:
decode_exposure_index, compute_target_position, decode_order_type,
execute_trade, compute_tx_cost, enforce_hold, check_trailing_stop,
check_capital_floor, apply_margin_cap, update_hold_time
Zero inline duplicates remain. Both training and backtest kernels
use identical trade physics — no more train/eval mismatches.
Smoke test: Sharpe=4.89, 443 trades, no SIGSEGV.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CRITICAL train/eval mismatch resolved: the backtest kernel used an
entry-price-reset model while training uses a notional cash model.
These produce different P&L on partial fills (L50→L100) and different
equity trajectories.
Changes:
- Add execute_trade() to trade_physics.cuh (shared notional model)
- Rewrite backtest_env_kernel.cu to use notional cash:
cash -= delta * price (not entry-price-reset)
- Mark-to-market: equity = cash + position * close (not cash + unrealized)
- Capital floor liquidation uses notional close (cash += position * price)
- entry_price kept only for trailing stop trade return computation
- Updated on new entries/reversals only (not on same-direction scaling)

Major changes:
- Eliminate ALL runtime NVRTC: c51_loss + mse_loss kernels converted to
precompiled cubins with runtime num_atoms/v_min/v_max/branch params
- Fix evaluator SIGSEGV: rng_states/q_gaps sized for chunked batch (cn)
not n_windows; NULL pointer guard in action_select kernel
- Add trade_physics.cuh shared header for train/eval consistency
- Add equity circuit breaker (25% DD from peak) + margin-aware position cap
- Consolidate 46D→22D hyperopt search space, enable ensemble by default
- Fix trade counting: use exposure index not factored action
- Fix Calmar overflow: clamp to ±100 in kernel
- Softer CVaR penalty (cap 3.0 not 10.0) for undertrained models
- Fix win_rate display (ratio→percentage)
- Remove dead code (normalize_reward, calculate_completion_penalty)
- Add tracing subscriber to hyperopt test for visible metrics
- Per-chunk sync in evaluator for reliable error reporting

Forward kernel has shared_concat[128] (512 bytes) but Rust allocated d*4
bytes. With d=72: 288 < 512 → shared memory overflow. Same for backward
(concat[128] + d_proj[128] = 1024 bytes vs d*8).
Fix: use d.max(128) for shared memory sizing.
Also: revert c51/mse to runtime NVRTC (NUM_ATOMS controls loop bounds).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
c51_loss and mse_loss kernels use NUM_ATOMS for loop bounds AND shared
memory. Precompiling with NUM_ATOMS=51 then running with num_atoms=101
causes wrong loop iterations. These 2 kernels MUST use runtime #define
injection to match the hyperopt config.
35 of 37 kernels remain precompiled. Only c51_loss and mse_loss use
runtime NVRTC (they're the only kernels where a #define controls logic).

Same class of bug as IQN_HIDDEN: compile-time array float local_proj[51]
overflows when hyperopt picks num_atoms=101. Crashed at ~35 min when
PSO explored larger atom counts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause (found via Zen debug + Gemini 2.5 Pro):
IQN_DIST_MAX = (IQN_HIDDEN + 31) / 32 = 8 (from IQN_HIDDEN=256).
Register arrays h_dist[8], embed_dist[8], comb_dist[8] overflow when
hyperopt picks hidden_dim > 256. With hidden_dim=512: loops iterate
16 times on 8-element arrays → stack corruption → SIGSEGV.
Fix: IQN_HIDDEN=2048 → IQN_DIST_MAX=64. Runtime loops still use
actual hidden_dim param. Only register array sizing affected — no
perf impact (unused elements are never accessed).

IQN_EMBED_DIM (cosine embedding dimension, default 64) converted from
compile-time #define to runtime kernel parameter `embed_dim`. This was
the last remaining hardcoded dimension in the precompiled IQN cubin
that could diverge from GpuIqnConfig.embed_dim at runtime, causing
SIGSEGV from out-of-bounds weight offset computation.
All 9 IQN kernels (forward_loss, backward, grad_norm, adam, forward,
trunk_forward, ema, decode_actions, sample_taus) now receive embed_dim
as the final parameter. The iqn_compute_offsets() device helper uses
the runtime embed_dim for W_EMBED→B_EMBED offset calculation.
The other 7 kernel files in the task spec were verified safe:
- c51/mse_loss_kernel.cu: NVRTC-compiled with config values injected
- attention/attention_backward: already parameterized (state_dim, num_heads)
- dt_kernels.cu: NVRTC-compiled with config values injected
- curiosity/ppo: architecturally constant values matching Rust constants

Build-time #define was 256 but runtime config can be 128 (hidden_dim_base).
Caused CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS in IQN trunk gradient. Now passed as
kernel params matching the STATE_DIM parameterization pattern.
Also: warn→error for training failures in optimizer, eprintln for debugging.

increment_trial() was never called — budget enforcement was broken because
TrialBudgetObserver had its own internal Arc<AtomicUsize> disconnected from
the trial_counter used by evaluate_point() and cost(). With num_trials=2,
PSO ran 20 particle evaluations instead of stopping at 2.
Now TrialBudgetObserver::new() takes the caller-owned Arc<AtomicUsize> so
all evaluation paths (LHS via evaluate_point + PSO via cost()) share one
counter. ObjectiveFunction::cost() and ParallelObjectiveFunction::cost()
increment trial_counter directly (fetch_add SeqCst) and check budget inline;
observe_iter() reads the same counter to terminate PSO between iterations.

Backtest portfolio now tracks hold_time at index [5]. min_hold_bars
param enforces hold constraint during evaluation, matching training.

The kernel was updated with portfolio_states, min_hold_bars, max_position
params (Task 3 of trade lifecycle fix) but the backtest evaluator's launch
site wasn't updated. It passed 10 args to a 13-param kernel, causing
SIGSEGV from reading garbage for the missing params.
Fix: pass NULL/0/0.0 for the 3 new params (hold enforcement disabled
during evaluation for now — will be enabled in eval cleanup plan).

Extend build.rs to compile all 25 .cu kernel files to cubins via nvcc.
Common header prepended to 24 kernels; experience_kernels.cu is standalone.
Total cubin size ~1.1 MB embedded in binary.
- cargo:rerun-if-changed tracks all .cu and .cuh files
- CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP env var selects target arch (sm_86, sm_90)
- Graceful skip when nvcc unavailable (non-CUDA builds)

The reversal P&L block (Kelly stats, entry_price reset) ran BEFORE the
hold enforcement guard. If hold_time < min_hold_bars cancelled a reversal,
the P&L was already booked for a trade that didn't execute, corrupting
portfolio_states. This caused SIGSEGV in the hyperopt path where the
corrupted state triggered invalid memory access in subsequent kernels.
Fix: moved the reversal P&L block from line 751 to after line 862
(after hold enforcement resolves final reversing_trade value).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Trade count dropped from 77% turnover (620K/800K) to 16.5% (527/3200)
with min_hold_bars=3. The hold enforcement is working correctly in the
standard training path. SIGSEGV in hyperopt path is a separate issue
(likely buffer sizing in the hyperopt adapter's experience collector).

With v_range ±240 (vs old ±2), C51 distributional loss is naturally
~100-400 instead of ~3-6. Updated smoke test assertion accordingly.
Trade lifecycle fix validated: 467 trades (was 620K) with min_hold_bars=3.
PF=1.87, WinRate=49.7%, MaxDD=41.7% — model learns multi-bar swing trading.

Add build.rs that compiles .cu kernels to cubins at cargo build time via nvcc.
Replace OnceLock<Ptx> + compile_ptx_for_device() in gpu_action_selector.rs with
include_bytes! + Ptx::from_binary() loading from the precompiled cubin.
- build.rs gracefully skips when nvcc is not available (non-CUDA builds)
- CUDA_COMPUTE_CAP env var controls target GPU arch (86=RTX 3050, 90=H100)
- common_device_functions.cuh prepended to kernel sources at build time
- Zero runtime compiler invocations for epsilon_greedy kernel

7 tasks: build.rs POC → parameterize #define → update launches → build all
→ replace runtime compilation → delete NVRTC infra → integration test.
Key insight: convert #define STATE_DIM/NUM_ATOMS to kernel params so each
kernel has ONE version regardless of model config. No multi-variant compilation.

- Fixed struct name: ExperienceCollectorConfig (not GpuExperienceCollectorConfig)
- Fixed max_pos scoping: moved declaration before action_select launch
- Fixed exiting_trade ordering: preliminary variable before trailing stop
- Documented hardcoded 5-action limitation in branching_action_select
- Zero Q-gap during hold periods (conviction meaningless when forced)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Layer 1 now targets experience_action_select (GPU-fused training path)
AND branching_action_select (backtest/fallback), not just the fallback
- Action masking covers both greedy AND random exploration paths
- Exposure index uses parameterized b0_size, not hardcoded 5 or 9
- Fixed end-of-episode variable name (total_bars, not timesteps_per_episode)

- Added BARS_PER_DAY, BARS_PER_YEAR, ANNUALIZATION_FACTOR to common::thresholds::time
- Added bars_per_day field to DQNHyperparameters (default 390.0, configurable)

Compounding per-bar returns over 10K+ bars still produces extreme numbers
(+1.8M% return, 2687% MaxDD). Replaced with:
- Return: mean_per_bar × bars_per_year (annualized, no compounding)
- MaxDD: windowed over last 10K bars AND capped at 1.0 (100%)
These are monitoring metrics — the hyperopt objective uses the backtest
evaluator which already has correct windowed metrics.

Training epoch metrics compound step_returns multiplicatively. With 2M+
bars per epoch on H100, this produces Return=+2.1e24% and MaxDD=99.5% —
meaningless numbers that corrupt risk monitoring and early stopping.
Fixed: total_return and max_drawdown now use only the last 10K bars
(~25 trading days), matching the backtest evaluator's window cap.
Sharpe/Sortino are unaffected (use arithmetic mean/std, not compounding).
