Reverts the forced H=30 diagnostic in aux_horizon_update_kernel.cu
(commit c78c4766c) — the experiment confirmed the data ceiling
hypothesis (aux_dir_acc dropped 0.46→0.50 with pred_tanh collapsing
to ~0, opposite of the bootstrap-failure prediction). Restores the
adaptive Pearl-A + Wiener-α floor logic.
Adds SP21 plan: train/eval coherence + ISV defrost. Catalogs 26
findings across 5 tiers from a pair-audit of MinIO-archived training
logs (xmd6b 30 epochs, d7bj7 2 epochs).
Cross-cutting principle: every threshold or bound in training
control flow must be signal-driven from an ISV slot, not hardcoded
(per feedback_isv_for_adaptive_bounds + feedback_adaptive_not_tuned).
Canonical pattern documented: ISV[CURIOSITY_PRESSURE_INDEX=346]
(SP11 Fix 39) is the reference implementation.
Meta-finding: across SP3-SP20 we've been monitoring training-rollout
metrics (Thompson-noisy) instead of val metrics (deterministic
backtest). val_PF=1.18-1.33 with WR=46-48% across 30 epochs of
xmd6b shows the policy DOES extract asymmetric-payoff alpha — we
just couldn't see it through the meter inflation.
