//! Wave 16 Integration Tests: Entropy Regularization + Polyak Soft Updates //! //! This module provides integration tests for two new DQN features: //! 1. **Entropy Regularization**: Prevents policy collapse via entropy-based reward shaping //! 2. **Polyak Soft Updates**: Gradual target network tracking via exponential moving average //! //! # Test Coverage //! - Polyak soft update weight blending (tau parameter validation) //! - CLI flag parsing and integration (--tau, --soft-updates) //! - Combined feature operation (entropy + Polyak simultaneously) //! - Backward compatibility (hard updates without --soft-updates) //! //! # Note on Entropy Testing //! Entropy regularization is integrated directly into the WorkingDQN struct //! (ml/src/dqn/dqn.rs) and is tested via end-to-end training rather than //! isolated unit tests. Entropy calculation happens during loss computation //! and is validated through action diversity metrics in production training. #![allow(unused_crate_dependencies)] use anyhow::Result; use candle_core::{Device, Tensor};
