jgrusewski 2fe76f2f34 docs(phase-e-4-a): execution status + T10 backward_from_h_enriched patch sketch
Two documentation deliverables produced while T14 backtest runs:

1. Plan update (specs/2026-05-15-phase-e-4-a-temporal-foundation.md):
   adds 'Execution Status' section reflecting actual T1-T14
   progression. T5 deferred (real MBP-10 peek), T9 skipped (GRN
   moved to E.4.B per integration notes), T10 partial (new C51
   grad-input kernel landed but Mamba2 backward wiring deferred),
   T14 in flight. Documents the 4 execution learnings:
   research-first saved a week of duplicate kernel work; cheap
   falsification experiments (Path 2, Path 3) avoided expensive
   investments; C51 borrow was the largest single Sharpe-lift in
   the session; GpuTensor/CudaSlice interop friction is the real
   integration cost.

2. T10 patch sketch (specs/2026-05-15-t10-mamba2-backward-from-h-enriched.md):
   ready-to-apply patch for ml-alpha::Mamba2Block adding a new
   public method backward_from_h_enriched(cache, d_h_enriched).
   Bypasses the W_out projection backward, accepts the
   [B, hidden_dim] gradient from C51's grad-input kernel directly,
   zero-initialises dw_out/db_out (AdamW step on zero grad is a
   no-op with correct moment decay — effectively freezes W_out
   params which is correct semantics since Phase E never uses
   them). Includes the smoke binary wiring snippet that consumes
   the new method via launch_alpha_c51_grad_input → Mamba2
   backward → AdamW step. Application gated on T14 backtest
   validation — if frozen Mamba2 already lifts Sharpe, T10
   becomes optimisation rather than prerequisite.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy

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
