feat(sp16-p2): adaptive Hold cost scale via ISV[461]
Per train-multi-seed-pfh9n post-mortem: observed_hold_rate climbed 0.25 → 0.52
across training while cost penalty (~0.006) was 100× smaller than per-bar
reward magnitudes (popart=0.97, cf=0.65). Hold action was effectively free,
allowing Q(Hold) to dominate via structural low-variance bias.
Fix: scale Hold cost adaptively. ISV[HOLD_COST_SCALE_INDEX=461] tracks:
scale = clamp(1.0 + 24.0 × max(0, observed - target) / max(target, 0.01), 1.0, 25.0)
Effective cost at 100% overrun (observed=2× target): 0.006 × 25 = 0.15,
competitive with per-bar reward magnitudes (~0.01-0.1).
At/below target: scale = 1.0 (no extra penalty).
Pearl-A bootstrap + Welford slow EMA (α=0.05). Mirrors T1's
MIN_HOLD_TEMPERATURE pattern (same input signals: ISV[382] observed,
ISV[381] target).
Producer: hold_cost_scale_update_kernel.cu — single-thread cold-path,
per-epoch boundary, AFTER MIN_HOLD_TEMPERATURE in training_loop.rs.
Consumer migration (atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
3 sites in experience_kernels.cu — segment_complete branch (line ~3089),
per-bar positioned-Hold branch (line ~3553), per-bar flat-Hold branch
(line ~3617). Cold-start fallback: scale=1.0 when slot ≤ 0 or
out-of-bounds (bit-identical pre-Phase-2 cost magnitude).
ISV_TOTAL_DIM: 461 → 462.
Behavioral tests (5/5 PASS on RTX 3050):
- sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_climbs_with_overrun
- sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_at_target_is_one
- sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_under_target_is_one
- sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_bounds_clamp
- sp16_phase2_hold_cost_scale_pearl_a_bootstrap
Regression: SP14 oracle suite 30/30 PASS, SP15 phase 1 oracle suite
36/36 PASS.
Instrumentation: HEALTH_DIAG[N]: hold_cost_scale_diag obs/tgt/norm/scale.
Per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds + feedback_no_partial_refactor.
