# TLI Tune Command - Hyperparameter Tuning Interface
## Overview
The `tune` command module provides a comprehensive CLI interface for managing ML model hyperparameter tuning jobs through the API Gateway. It supports starting, monitoring, and stopping Optuna-based hyperparameter optimization runs for all supported ML models (DQN, PPO, MAMBA_2, TLOB, TFT, LIQUID).
**Location**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/tli/src/commands/tune.rs`
## Features
### 1. Start Tuning Jobs
- Launch hyperparameter tuning with configurable trials
- Support for all 6 ML models (DQN, PPO, MAMBA_2, TLOB, TFT, LIQUID)
- YAML configuration files for search space definition
- Optional GPU acceleration
- Live progress watching with `--watch` flag
- Job ID persistence to `~/.foxhunt/tuning_jobs.json`
### 2. Monitor Progress
- Real-time status updates with rich terminal UI
- Progress bars and trial counters
- Best Sharpe ratio tracking
- Elapsed time display
- Color-coded status (green=running, red=failed, yellow=stopped)
### 3. Best Parameters Export
- Display best hyperparameters in table format
- Export to YAML file for easy integration
- Performance metrics (Sharpe ratio, training loss, etc.)
- Parameter type inference (learning rate, integer, float)
### 4. Job Management
- Stop running tuning jobs gracefully
- Job ownership validation (user can only manage their own jobs)
- Clear error messages for authentication/service failures
## Command Reference

## Architecture
### Connection Flow
```
TLI Client (tune command)
├─ JWT Token (from TLI auth flow)
└─> API Gateway (localhost:50051)
├─ Authentication (JWT validation)
├─ Authorization (ml.tune permission)
└─> ML Training Service Proxy
└─> ML Training Service (localhost:50054)
├─ Optuna Tuning Engine
├─ PostgreSQL (job persistence)
└─ Model Training Workers
```
### Security
**Authentication**:
- All requests require valid JWT token
- Token obtained from TLI login flow
- Automatic token refresh handled by TLI auth module
**Authorization**:
- `start` command requires `ml.tune` permission
- `status` and `best` commands validate job ownership
- Users can only query/stop their own tuning jobs
**Validation**:
- Model type validation (6 supported models)
- UUID format validation for job IDs
- Config file existence check
- Clear error messages for all failures
### Data Persistence
**Job Tracking** (`~/.foxhunt/tuning_jobs.json`):
```json
{
"550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000": {
"job_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"model": "DQN",
"trials": 50,
"started_at": "2025-10-13T15:30:00Z",
"status": "RUNNING"
}
}
```
Benefits:
- Job history persistence across TLI sessions
- Easy lookup of recent tuning jobs
- Automatic directory creation (`~/.foxhunt/`)
- Pretty-printed JSON for readability
## Error Handling
### Authentication Failures
```
❌ Error: Authentication failed
Status: UNAUTHENTICATED
Reason: JWT token expired
💡 Solution: Run 'tli login' to refresh authentication
```
### Service Unavailable
```
❌ Error: Service unavailable
Status: UNAVAILABLE
Reason: API Gateway not responding
💡 Solutions:
1. Check API Gateway is running: docker-compose ps api_gateway
2. Check network connectivity: curl http://localhost:50051/health
3. Review API Gateway logs: docker-compose logs -f api_gateway
```
### Invalid Job ID
```
❌ Error: Invalid job ID format (expected UUID)
Input: "not-a-uuid"
💡 Valid format: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
```
### Invalid Model Type
```
❌ Error: Invalid model type: INVALID_MODEL. Valid options: DQN, PPO, MAMBA_2, TLOB, TFT, LIQUID
```
### Config File Not Found
```
❌ Config file not found: tuning_config.yaml
💡 Create a tuning configuration file with search space definition
See: /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/docs/ml_training/tuning_config_example.yaml
```
## Implementation Status
### ✅ Completed
- ✅ Command structure with clap subcommands
- ✅ Rich terminal output with colors and tables
- ✅ Progress bar visualization
- ✅ Job ID persistence to filesystem
- ✅ Live progress watching (5-second polling)
- ✅ YAML export for best parameters
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
- ✅ Unit tests for all helper functions
- ✅ Mock data for demonstration
### ⚠️ Pending (API Gateway Integration)
- ⚠️ gRPC client calls (waiting for API Gateway proxy implementation)
- ⚠️ Real tuning job status fetching
- ⚠️ Actual trial history display
- ⚠️ JWT metadata forwarding
**Note**: The module is **fully functional** with mock data and will work seamlessly once the API Gateway adds tuning proxy methods (see Wave 152+ roadmap).
## API Gateway Integration Checklist
To enable the tune command, the API Gateway needs these proxy methods:
### Required Methods (ml_training_proxy.rs)
1. **start_tuning_job**
```rust
async fn start_tuning_job(
&self,
request: Request<StartTuningJobRequest>,
) -> Result<Response<StartTuningJobResponse>, Status>
```
2. **get_tuning_job_status**
```rust
async fn get_tuning_job_status(
&self,
request: Request<GetTuningJobStatusRequest>,
) -> Result<Response<GetTuningJobStatusResponse>, Status>
```
3. **stop_tuning_job**
```rust
async fn stop_tuning_job(
&self,
request: Request<StopTuningJobRequest>,
) -> Result<Response<StopTuningJobResponse>, Status>
```
### Proto Definitions
Already defined in `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/ml_training_service/proto/ml_training.proto` (lines 35-44, 131-209).
### Client Integration Points
Update in `tune.rs` (currently marked with TODO comments):
- Line 224-236: Replace mock with actual `client.start_tuning_job()` call
- Line 288-301: Replace mock with actual `client.get_tuning_job_status()` call
- Line 341-354: Replace mock with actual `client.get_tuning_job_status()` call (for best params)
- Line 398-411: Replace mock with actual `client.stop_tuning_job()` call
- Line 469: Replace mock status with real gRPC response
## Testing
### Unit Tests (11 tests)
```bash
cargo test -p tli commands::tune
```
**Test Coverage**:
- ✅ Model type validation (valid/invalid)
- ✅ UUID format validation
- ✅ Progress bar generation (0%, 50%, 100%)
- ✅ Parameter type inference
- ✅ Export best params to YAML
- ✅ Mock data generation
- ✅ Job ID persistence (filesystem operations)
- ✅ Status display structure
- ✅ All valid model types
### Manual Testing (when proxy ready)
```bash
# 1. Start API Gateway and ML Training Service
docker-compose up -d api_gateway ml_training_service
# 2. Login to TLI
tli login
# 3. Start a tuning job with watch
tli tune start --model DQN --trials 10 --config test_config.yaml --watch
# 4. In another terminal, check status
tli tune status --job-id <job-id-from-step-3>
# 5. Export best parameters
tli tune best --job-id <job-id> --export best_dqn.yaml
# 6. Stop the job
tli tune stop --job-id <job-id> --reason "Testing stop command"
```
## Dependencies
**New Dependencies Added** (Cargo.toml):
```toml
clap = { version = "4.5", features = ["derive", "env"] }

```
**Existing Dependencies Used**:
- `anyhow` - Error handling
- `uuid` - Job ID generation/parsing
- `serde` / `serde_json` - Job persistence

- `tokio` - Async runtime
## Future Enhancements
### Short-term
1. **Streaming Progress Updates** (replace polling with gRPC streaming)
2. **Trial History Table** (display all trials with params and metrics)
3. **Job List Command** (`tli tune list --status running`)
4. **Resume Failed Jobs** (`tli tune resume --job-id <uuid>`)
### Medium-term

2. **Hyperparameter Importance Analysis** (feature importance charts)
3. **Distributed Tuning** (parallel trials across multiple workers)
4. **Auto-tuning Profiles** (pre-configured search spaces per model)
### Long-term
1. **Neural Architecture Search** (NAS integration)
2. **Transfer Learning** (warm-start from previous tuning runs)
3. **Cloud Integration** (AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI)
4. **WebUI Dashboard** (real-time visualization in browser)
