jgrusewski 0f34843253 spec: continuous-reasoning trader architecture (4-layer rebuild)
Integrated spec for the continuous-reasoning trader rework. Replaces
the rule-based discrete policy with a 4-layer signal-driven architecture:

  Layer A: continuous control loop (every event, not every stride)
  Layer B: signal-driven position management (multi-horizon fusion,
           continuous sizing, conviction-degradation exit, open_trade_state
           expanded 24→128 bytes)
  Layer C: adaptive risk envelope (ISV-derived max_lots, threshold,
           target_annual_vol)
  Layer D: online weight adaptation (LoRA + EWC++, offline-batch
           per-session, shadow-eval gated)

Phased gates: A unlocks B; B is where alpha lives; C amplifies B;
D amplifies whatever's working. Each gate has explicit pass criteria.

Conviction definition: ISV-weighted multi-horizon agreement.
weight_h = max(pnl_ema_win - pnl_ema_loss, 0) / (var + cost^2).
Net edge x SNR per horizon, scale-normalised, cold-start uniform fallback.

Pearl conformance: 13 existing pearls referenced and respected
(ISV-driven anchors, first-observation bootstrap, Wiener-alpha floor,
blend-with-floor, z-score normalisation, one-unbounded multiplicand,
trade-level vol bootstrap, deadline cadence, single-source-of-truth,
atomic refactor, adaptive-not-tuned).

Hardcoded boundary preserved for hardware/exchange realities (latency,
cost, annualisation, instrument bounds). Everything else adaptive.

Status: design — awaiting user review before implementation plan.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

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
