jgrusewski 0e8804a770 spec(dqn): reframe Thompson rollout PAUSED (not SUPERSEDED)
Retracts the prior SUPERSEDED footer (commit 42ffd6aad). The technical
proposal still stands — Thompson sampling on C51+IQN distributions is
the canonical action selector for distributional RL (Bellemare 2017,
Dabney 2018). Phase 0 tests and the Aggregation Contract are sound
math/engineering regardless of the measurement-bug findings.

What changed is the URGENCY framing, not the validity. The val-Flat-
collapse / Short-collapse observations cited as motivating evidence
were partly distorted by three measurement bugs (a86fba2b1 + b8788511c)
in the diagnostic infrastructure. The "ship Thompson NOW because
val_dir_dist collapses to 80%+ Hold/Flat" narrative dissolves; the
"Thompson is the principled action selector for our distributional
model" narrative stands.

Sequencing: PAUSED pending evidence from a fresh L40S 30-epoch
baseline (train-f8h6q, 2026-04-27 12:20) on post-fix code. The
baseline is a bug-hunting expedition — kill on anomaly, diagnose,
fix, re-run per feedback_stop_on_anomaly.md. Once healthy baseline
established, Phase 2 ships as principled improvement with clean A/B
against the trustworthy post-fix metrics.

Plans B / C / D are PAUSED, not cancelled. Files remain in
docs/superpowers/plans/. Resumption gate: post-fix baseline run is
bug-free or all surfaced bugs are addressed.

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
