jgrusewski 0611d32b06 docs(policy-quality): Track 3 controllers audit (Phase 1) — 0 load-bearing, 6 diagnostic, 1 candidate-for-delete
V7 audit of the 7 adaptive controllers named in spec §5.3 against the
baseline controller_activity smoke run (3 folds × 20 epochs = 60 epochs,
intervention-based fire detection per commit ed4b30b49):

* C1 anti_lr: DIAGNOSTIC (0/60; wiring surprise — fire detector reads
  base scheduler, not post-anti_lr LR, flagged for Phase 2 fix)
* C2 adaptive tau: DIAGNOSTIC (2/60; fires at fold boundaries only)
* C3 adaptive gamma: DIAGNOSTIC (1/60; pinned to floor by health-coupled
  correction; re-measure at L40S when health is real)
* C4 adaptive grad_clip: CANDIDATE FOR DELETE pending ablation (12/60,
  20% — above diagnostic, below load-bearing; needs Track 3 Step 2)
* C5 cql_alpha: DIAGNOSTIC (2/60; regime_stability gate uninformative
  at smoke scale)
* C6 cost_anneal: DIAGNOSTIC by design (deterministic sigmoid; fire_cost
  hard-coded false at training_loop.rs:2475)
* C7 base LR scheduler: DIAGNOSTIC by construction (pure open-loop, not
  in the closed-loop controller battery)

Cross-controller finding: no controller fires in > 50% of epochs, so
the policy is not currently held on the rails by adaptive intervention
at smoke scale. However, C2 / C3 / C5 are structurally inert here —
their trigger signals (health, regime_stability) are degenerate at
smoke scale, so their 0-ish fire rates are lower bounds, not
representative. Promote to final after L40S validation.

Wiring surprise (anti_lr): fire_lr detection reads lr_scheduler.get_lr()
*before* the anti_lr multiplier applies. Under smoke Constant LR this
reports 0 correctly-for-the-wrong-reason; under L40S Cosine/Linear it
will false-positive on pure decay drift. Recommend detecting via the
anti_mult != 1.0 branch directly (training_loop.rs:2936–2942) for an
unambiguous intervention semantic matching C4/C6.

Follow-ups flagged for Phase 2:
- Fix C1 fire-detection wiring before L40S re-run
- Run C4 grad-clip ablation (25 min, gates the final C4 verdict)
- Optional: reset fire_counts per fold to remove C2/C5 boundary artefact

ML Models

Four production model architectures on Candle v0.9.1 with CUDA:

  • DQN Rainbow -- Deep Q-Network with prioritized replay, dueling heads, noisy nets
  • PPO -- Proximal Policy Optimization with GAE and LSTM policies
  • TFT -- Temporal Fusion Transformer for multi-horizon forecasting
  • Mamba2 -- State space model for sequence prediction

Each model has a standalone trainer and a UnifiedTrainable adapter for the hyperopt pipeline.

Infrastructure

  • Git: Gitea at git.fxhnt.ai (Tailscale-only), Scaleway DEV1-S
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry OTLP (env OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
  • Database: PostgreSQL with SQLx offline mode for CI
