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 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Computational Cost:

- O(N) per sample() call where N = buffer size
|

- Early exit for young experiences
|

- Typical: <1ms for 100k buffer
|
||
|
||
Lock Contention:
|
||
- RwLock (read-heavy workload)
|
||
- 1 write per push/update
|
||
- 1 read per sample
|
||
- Minimal contention expected
