jgrusewski 4df0867622 fix(rl): drawdown-from-peak — symmetric exit signal (replaces clip artifact)
Yesterday's fix `trade_context[1] = fminf(0.0f, unrealized_R)` created a
structural 12× W/L bias: the agent saw losses fast (closed them), couldn't
see wins (rode blindly until max_hold/session). The reproducibility across
folds (f0=f1=f2 at step 500) was the SAME exploit pattern in each window,
not real edge.

This replaces the asymmetric clip with drawdown-from-peak:

  trade_context[1] = unrealized_R - peak(unrealized_R)  (always ≤ 0)

The peak tracks per-active-unit and resets on slot activation. Symmetric:
fires on losing positions (monotone drawdown from entry) AND on
winning-then-retracing positions (drawdown from high-water mark even
while still net-positive).

Sentinel-zero bootstrap per pearl_first_observation_bootstrap: peak==0
on freshly opened/added/reversed slot; first observation directly
replaces peak with unrealized_R.

Implementation:
- New CudaSlice unit_peak_unrealized_r_d [B×MAX_UNITS], allocated zero
- rl_unit_state_update + rl_fused_reward_pipeline write 0.0f sentinel
  on each OPEN/REVERSE/PYRAMID-ADD activation
- rl_trade_context_update reads/updates peak inline, outputs drawdown

Local smoke (RTX 3050 Ti, b=128, 500 steps):
- avg_hold rose from 17.6 → 26-32 steps (wave-scale-ier)
- W/L magnitude ratio is no longer pinned at 12× — varies 0.67-27 across
  the run, sometimes L>W (genuinely symmetric signal)
- No crash, training trajectory healthy

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
