V7 audit of reward terms R1-R8 against the baseline smoke run
(magnitude_distribution.rs, 3 folds x 20 epochs = 60 HEALTH_DIAG rows):
* R1 step_return: KEEP (base reward, denominator)
* R2 PopArt drift: PENDING (warmup-gated zero at smoke; re-check at L40S)
* R3 CF-flip: KEEP (49-74% contribution, dominates shaping)
* R4 trail_r: KEEP-WITH-CAVEAT (fold-3 dominance, trade-volume gated)
* R5 micro-reward: DELETE (micro_reward_scale=0 in smoke, intended)
* R6 loss-aversion: DELETE (sub-1% in 54/60 epochs, relocate protection)
* R7 segment-patience: ALREADY-REMOVED (stub deleted 83d524f86)
* R8 raw_returns_out: KEEP (load-bearing for Sharpe/MaxDD pipeline)
Cross-term finding: R3 is the dominant reward shaper at smoke scale;
every other shaping term is <=3% of reward magnitude except R4 in fold
3. Confirms Track 1's H4 gradient-starvation diagnosis is compounded
by thin shaping elsewhere in the reward landscape.
Follow-ups flagged for Phase 2:
- stale patience_mult docstring at experience_kernels.cu:1049
- R5 deletion gated on TD-propagation diagnostic (Task #8)
- R6 relocation to Q-target smoothing in C51 Bellman

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
