jgrusewski 5935907cd7 feat(ppo): gradient accumulation, clip-higher, and WorkingPPO→PPO rename
- Add accumulation_steps config to PPOConfig with gradient accumulation
  in update_mlp() using existing accumulate_grads/scale_grads utilities
- Add clip_epsilon_high: Option<f32> for asymmetric PPO clipping to
  prevent entropy collapse during long training
- Rename WorkingPPO → PPO for consistency with DQN naming convention
- Add pub type WorkingPPO = PPO for backward compatibility
- Fix PPOConfig struct literals in trading_service and hyperopt adapter

//! NaN/Inf Gradient Propagation Detection Tests (Agent 23 Test #8)
//!
//! **Severity**: HIGH - Silent corruption (25% likelihood without PPO fix)
//!
//! **Objective**: Verify all 4 trainers detect and reject NaN/Inf values in:
//! - Input features
//! - Loss calculations
//! - Gradient updates
//! - Model parameters
//!
//! **Coverage**: DQN, PPO, MAMBA-2, TFT trainers
//!
//! **Test Strategy**:
//! 1. NaN in input features → Should reject with error
//! 2. Inf in input features → Should reject with error
//! 3. Model parameters remain finite after training → Validation check
//! 4. Loss computation rejects NaN/Inf → Gradient health check
//! 5. Edge case: All-zero features (normalization division by zero)
//! 6. Edge case: Extreme values (overflow/underflow)
