jgrusewski 3c035ce1ae feat(regime): vol_ref bootstrap window + ISV-driven permanent floor
Two coupled fixes to the vol-EMA regime detector exposed by walk-forward
CV after all features were promoted to always-on:

(1) Bootstrap window for vol_ref (slot 551 = REGIME_VOL_REF_SAMPLES)
- Replace the Pearl-A "first observation replaces directly" bootstrap
  with a running mean over the first N=100 vol_ema observations, then
  switch to β-tracking. For IID observations the running-mean estimator
  has variance σ²/N — a 100-sample mean is 10× less noisy than the
  single-shot replace.

(2) Permanent floor on vol_ref (slot 552 = REGIME_VOL_REF_FLOOR)
- The bootstrap alone exposed the asymmetric deadband-deadlock: if
  vol_ref converged to a tiny value during a calm initial stretch,
  vol_ref / vol_ema fired the moment any realistic vol resumed and
  Kelly stayed trapped at regime_scale_floor=0.25 forever. Floor
  lives in ISV slot (TrainingPersist) with a hardcoded 1e-12 sub-floor
  inside the kernel as numerical-underflow guard.
- Host seeds slot 552 with 1e-9. Future controller kernel will refine
  this from observed cell-level vol minima with cross-fold persistence.

Walk-forward CV on Q1 fxcache (3 folds, window=700K, train_frac=0.6):
  cost   fold-A   fold-B          fold-C    mean ± SD
  0.00   -19.77   +65.04 (100%)   +6.45     +17.24 ± 43.42

Fold B turnaround is the headline: -47.64 (bootstrap-only) → +65.04
(bootstrap + floor) confirms the floor is the load-bearing fix.
Cross-fold std-dev compressed 24% at cost=0; mean dropped from +38.94
(pre-defense) to +17.24 (with defense). Classic mean/variance trade.

Block extended to 14 slots (539..=552). Kernel sig: vol_ref_floor
moved from f32 scalar to vol_ref_floor_index i32, so the anchor is
named/addressable in ISV.

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
