Two further user-flagged corrections from second-critical review:
1. Direction Q-head emits K=4 actions, NOT K=3.
Authoritative source: state_layout.cuh:123-126
#define DIR_SHORT 0 // open/maintain short
#define DIR_HOLD 1 // keep current position (no-op)
#define DIR_LONG 2 // open/maintain long
#define DIR_FLAT 3 // close all to zero
The "default: 3 — Short/Flat/Long" comment at gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:2438
is stale pre-SP13. Production callsites all set branch_0_size: 4.
SP13 added DIR_HOLD as a separate fourth direction action (Hold-pricing).
The config default comment was never updated when DIR_HOLD landed.
This is exactly the feedback_trust_code_not_docs failure mode — a
single stale comment would have silently corrupted the q_disagreement
signal (Hold/Flat being indices 1/3 instead of just Flat=1).
Updates:
- B.1 action-space context: 4 actions with Hold AND Flat both
non-committal (Hold = keep position, Flat = exit to zero)
- B.2.3 q_disagreement mapping: K=4↔K=2 with both Hold and Flat
masked from disagreement signal (no new directional commitment
to evaluate); only Short and Long picks contribute to disagreement
- Edge case handling for all-Hold/all-Flat batches
2. Adaptive β rate limiter (was structural β=0.9).
Per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds, β should be signal-driven
not hardcoded. v3 derives β from variance of α_grad_raw, mirroring
the k_aux/k_q variance-driven steepness pattern in B.2.5.
Formula:
β = clip(β_base + variance_alpha_raw / variance_ref_alpha,
[β_base, β_max])
β_base = 0.5 (light smoothing baseline; ~2-step half-life)
β_max = 0.95 (heavy smoothing; ~20-step half-life)
Stable α_grad_raw → β = β_base (preserves directional intent)
Volatile α_grad_raw → β → β_max (dampens jitter)
Adds 2 ISV slots:
ALPHA_GRAD_RAW_VARIANCE_EMA_INDEX (Welford variance)
BETA_RATE_LIMITER_ADAPTIVE_INDEX (current β value)
ISV slot count: 11 → 13 (net +2 for variance + adaptive β).
LOC estimate: ~1150 → ~1180 (negligible delta; 3 Welford
variances now in alpha_grad_compute_kernel instead of 2).
HEALTH_DIAG pearl_egf_diag emit updated to expose all three
adaptive scalars (α, β, k_aux/k_q) plus all three driving
variances (var_alpha, var_aux, var_q) for full observability.
Verified against current code at HEAD d243a6f08:
- state_layout.cuh:123-126 (DIR_* enum truth source)
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs:2438 (stale K=3 comment confirmed)
- branch_0_size: 4 in 5 production callsites
(smoke_tests, gpu_iqn_head, gpu_backtest_evaluator)
- DIR_HOLD usage in experience_kernels.cu:1298 + 14 other sites

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
