jgrusewski 148d4cbb43 feat(ml): ungate GPU experience collector + async PER pre-sampling
Enable curiosity module by default (weight 0.0→0.1) to satisfy the
three-way gate (dueling + target + curiosity) that was blocking the
GPU experience collector CUDA kernel. This eliminates the 30-40% CPU
experience collection phase that was the main GPU idle bottleneck.

Additional changes:
- BatchSample API: train_step/compute_gradients now accept
  Option<BatchSample> instead of Option<Vec<Experience>>, preserving
  PER importance-sampling weights and indices through pre-sampling.
- Async PER pre-sampling: train_step_single_batch and
  train_step_with_accumulation now pre-sample from the replay buffer
  using a READ lock before acquiring the WRITE lock for GPU training.
  This separates CPU sampling (~250μs) from GPU forward/backward (~3ms).
- Delete dead EpochPrefetcher: the binary (train_baseline_rl.rs) already
  implements fold prefetching with background thread + mpsc channel +
  GPU double-buffering, making the trainer's EpochPrefetcher redundant.
- Hyperopt DQN bounds: curiosity_weight min 0.0→0.01 so PSO can never
  fully disable curiosity (which would re-gate the GPU collector).

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
