jgrusewski 6f21513319 fix(rl): unfreeze WIN clamp adaptation — 100% clip rate was killing learning
Diag analysis of alpha-rl-pifix-4h5fd (500 steps, 80MB JSONL) revealed:
  clip_rate_ema = 99.99% across the entire run
  pos_scaled_max_ema = 30-116 (30× the WIN=1.0 clamp)
  MARGIN saturated at MAX=5.0 (controller wants WIN wider)
  reward_clamp_win STUCK at 1.0 for 500 steps

Root cause: rl_reward_clamp_controller.cu had `(void) margin;` at
Step 4 — the MARGIN was computed but discarded. WIN was hardcoded
to the 1.0 bootstrap from an old G.2 feedback-loop fix. With 99.99%
of rewards clipped to ±1, Q saw saturated signal and couldn't
distinguish small from huge wins.

Fix: write WIN = MARGIN × pos_max_ema (the controller's intent),
and LOSS = RATIO × WIN (preserves loss-aversion asymmetry). The
G.2 feedback concern is addressed by the slow atom-span EWMA
(α=0.001, half-life 700 steps) at Step 5 — atom span damps the
WIN→atom→Q loop sufficiently.

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
