Preliminary triage of spec §5.1 hypotheses H1–H10 using the Phase 0 baseline capture on RTX 3050 Ti. L40S validation pending per plan. Verdicts: H1 PENDING (needs forced-exploration instrumentation not yet wired) H2 REJECTED var_scale=0.96 across 19/20 epochs; Var[Q] inactive at smoke scale H3 INCONCLUSIVE kelly degenerate (insufficient win/loss counts at smoke scale) H4 CONFIRMED grad_ratio_mag_dir=0.0000 across 20/20 epochs (threshold <0.1) H5 REJECTED ent_mag stays ≥0.98 throughout; no bootstrap collapse H6 REJECTED Full fire rate (0) is lower than Quarter fire rate, not higher H7 REJECTED vsn and sigma symmetric between mag and dir branches H8 REJECTED target-net drift equal (mag=dir=0.001) H9 PENDING (same instrumentation gap as H1) H10 CONFIRMED training ent_mag=0.98, eval F_Quarter=100% Synthesis: H4 is the root cause. Magnitude branch receives ~0 gradient → weights stay near init → three magnitude Q-values near-identical → argmax picks bin 0 (Quarter) on ties → H10 manifests at eval time. H2, H5, H7, H8 all ruled out as contributors. Proposed Phase 2 priority: fix H4 (gradient-flow path into magnitude head — likely per-component advantage weighting or direction-conditioning of w_b1fc) + H10 (Q-margin argmax + stochastic eval rollouts as safety net). Phase 1 next: validate preliminary verdicts on L40S, instrument per-component gradient decomposition for magnitude, proceed with Tracks 2/3/4 in parallel.

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
