jgrusewski 2df1ea92e1 feat(ml): WAVE 29 DQN Codebase Cleanup & Refactoring Campaign
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Removed orphaned dqn.rs monolithic trainer (4,975 lines)
- Removed orphaned dqn_ensemble.rs module (816 lines)
- Removed orphaned tft.rs and tft_complete_int8_integration_test.rs
- TFT trainer split into modular directory structure

DQN Module Refactoring:
- Split trainers/dqn.rs into modular structure (config.rs, statistics.rs, trainer.rs)
- Fixed hyperopt 39D search space (continuous params only)
- Boolean flags (use_dueling, use_double_dqn, use_per, use_noisy_nets) are now FIXED architectural decisions
- use_distributional defaults to false (Candle BUG #36 - scatter_add gradient issues)

Clean Module Structure:
- ml/src/trainers/dqn/ directory with proper mod.rs exports
- ml/src/trainers/tft/ directory with config.rs, types.rs, model.rs, trainer.rs, tests.rs
- All P0 features validated: TD-error clamping, batch diversity, LR scheduler, priority staleness

Documentation:
- Added comprehensive docs in docs/codebase-cleanup/
- ADR-001 for DQN refactoring decisions
- Rainbow DQN component matrix and quick reference guides

Build Status: Compiles with zero errors

# WAVE 26 P1.12: Polyak Soft Updates - Validation Checklist
## Task Requirements (All ✅)
- [x] **Task 1**: Read `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/src/dqn/target_update.rs`
- Status: Verified existing implementation
- Formula: `θ_target = (1-τ)*θ_target + τ*θ_online` ✅ CORRECT
- [x] **Task 2**: Verify τ (tau) is configurable and defaults to 0.001
- Location: `ml/src/trainers/dqn/config.rs:217`
- Default: `tau: 0.001` ✅ CONFIRMED
- Configurable: Yes, via DQNHyperparameters struct
- [x] **Task 3**: Add tau to hyperopt search space if missing
- Location: `ml/src/hyperopt/adapters/dqn.rs`
- Search space: 29D → 30D ✅ ADDED
- Range: `(0.0001_f64.ln(), 0.01_f64.ln())` (log scale)
- Extraction: `let tau = x[29].exp().clamp(0.0001, 0.01)`
- [x] **Task 4**: Verify soft update formula
- Implementation: `((target_t * (1.0 - tau))? + (online_t * tau)?)?`
- Mathematically equivalent: `τ * θ_online + (1 - τ) * θ_target` ✅ VERIFIED
- [x] **Task 5**: Add logging for target network divergence
- Function: `compute_network_divergence()` ✅ IMPLEMENTED
- Location: `ml/src/dqn/target_update.rs:157-184`
- Returns: Average L2 norm across all parameters
- [x] **Task 6**: Write TDD tests verifying soft updates
- Location: `ml/src/dqn/tests/target_update_comprehensive_tests.rs`
- Test count: 13 comprehensive tests ✅ CREATED
- Coverage: Formula, boundaries, convergence, divergence
## Implementation Checklist
### Code Changes
- [x] Added `compute_network_divergence()` function
- [x] Added tau to DQNParams struct (fixed duplicate)
- [x] Expanded hyperopt search space to 30D
- [x] Created comprehensive test suite (13 tests)
- [x] Registered tests in mod.rs
- [x] Fixed ActivationType import in activation_tests.rs
### Test Coverage
- [x] `test_tau_default_value` - Default verification
- [x] `test_soft_update_formula_correctness` - Formula validation
- [x] `test_network_divergence_computation` - L2 norm
- [x] `test_divergence_decreases_with_updates` - Convergence
- [x] `test_tau_boundary_condition_zero` - tau=0 (no update)
- [x] `test_tau_boundary_condition_one` - tau=1 (hard update)
- [x] `test_invalid_tau_panics` - Input validation
- [x] `test_rainbow_tau_convergence_rate` - 693-step half-life
- [x] `test_soft_vs_hard_update_stability` - Update comparison
- [x] `test_convergence_half_life_different_tau_values` - Multiple tau
- [x] `test_divergence_with_changing_online_network` - Tracking
- [x] `test_multiple_parameter_layers` - Multi-layer consistency
- [x] `test_gradual_convergence` - Monotonic convergence
### Bug Fixes
- [x] Removed duplicate tau field in DQNParams (lines 281-285)
- [x] Fixed ActivationType import (rainbow_network vs network)
### Documentation
- [x] Comprehensive report: `docs/WAVE26_P1.12_POLYAK_SOFT_UPDATES_REPORT.md`
- [x] Quick summary: `docs/WAVE26_P1.12_SUMMARY.txt`

- [x] Test file syntax validated
- [x] Module registration verified
- [ ] Full test execution (pending, requires long compile time)

## Next Steps
### Immediate
1. [ ] Run test suite: `./scripts/run_wave26_p1_12_tests.sh`
2. [ ] Verify all tests pass
3. [ ] Commit changes with provided message
### Short-term
1. [ ] Run hyperopt campaign with 30D search space
2. [ ] Monitor target network divergence during training
3. [ ] Compare tau values: 0.0001, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01
### Long-term
1. [ ] Ablation study on validation set
2. [ ] Adaptive tau based on training stability
3. [ ] Per-layer tau for different network components
4. [ ] Regime-conditional tau (trending vs volatile vs ranging)
