jgrusewski 4f888abbf0 feat(ml-alpha): PerceptionTrainer::forward_only + from_checkpoint (X11)
X11 inference interface for the deployability backtester. Two new
public methods on PerceptionTrainer:

  forward_only(snapshots) -> Vec<f32>
      Forward-only pass over a K-snapshot window. Wraps evaluate() with
      dummy zero-valued labels and discards the loss. Returns the same
      [K, B, N_HORIZONS]-shaped probability output as evaluate_batched.

  from_checkpoint(dev, cfg, path) -> Result<Self>
      Build a PerceptionTrainer ready for inference: constructs a fresh
      trainer (with random init) to wire up kernel handles + grad
      buffers + scratches, then overwrites the trunk's weights from the
      Checkpoint file via CfcTrunk::load_checkpoint. The optimizer +
      grad buffers stay allocated — unused at inference, but allocating
      them keeps the struct invariant uniform. A leaner inference-only
      struct can be added later if memory matters.

Architectural note: the trunk is the source of truth for weights (X1-X9
established that). PerceptionTrainer is the kernel-launch adapter that
drives forward + backward over those weights. Inference doesn't need a
separate forward path on the trunk — the trainer's evaluate_batched
already does the full chain correctly. fxt-backtest can now construct a
PerceptionTrainer in inference role via from_checkpoint + call
forward_only per decision.

Verification: ml-alpha + ml-backtesting + fxt-backtest build clean.
ml-alpha lib tests: 33 pass.

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
