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
