Three-phase plan to push Q convergence past profitability:
1. N-step returns (n=10): 10× more direct reward signal
2. IQN complementary head alongside C51: ensemble action selection
3. Noisy linear layers: state-dependent exploration
C51 stays for the confidence gate's distributional LCB. IQN adds
flexible quantile estimation. Ensemble combines both for action
selection. All ISV-driven.
