jgrusewski 6c4945fe16 docs(spec): v9 defensive eval-boundary calibration (completes adaptive principle)
Per the newly-saved memory pearl pearl_adaptive_carryover_discipline,
diagnoses Fix D's "intentionally preserve train Kelly + inventory EMAs
into eval" as the dominant cause of v8's eval-phase regression.

Design — 3 layers at the train→eval boundary:

  Layer 1: Reset every adaptive EMA (Kelly wr/avg-win/avg-loss/
  cumulative_dones, inventory β/variance, reward-clamp pos/neg/clip
  EMAs) to neutral sentinels. Lets the controllers re-bootstrap from
  eval-distribution observations rather than carrying poisoned train
  state.

  Layer 2: Defensive warmup window (500 steps) overrides risk-sizing
  controllers — Kelly safety_frac 0.5→0.25, IQN τ_min 0.10→0.30,
  entropy coef floor 0.01→0.05, PPO ε floor 0.05→0.10. Linear decay
  back to normal over additional 200 steps.

  Layer 3: 2× LR multiplier during warmup window. Network weights
  adapt fast to new-regime statistics; this is the slowest-adapting
  layer of the agent.

Adds 8 new ISV slots (686-693), bumps RL_SLOTS_END 686→694. New
small kernel rl_eval_warmup_decay applies overrides each step during
warmup. Pure additive design — no kernel logic changes outside the
new warmup-decay kernel.

Validation requires running ALL 3 folds (vs v8's single fold-1) per
pearl_single_window_oos_is_not_oos. Success criterion: mean eval pnl
across 3 folds > v8 mean.

No code change in this commit — design document only. Implementation
deferred until decision is made on whether to ship v9 or first
collect v8's fold-0 + fold-2 baseline for cleaner comparison.

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
