jgrusewski 75d67bd203 feat(phase-e-4-a): alpha_c51_grad_input kernel (T10 prerequisite)
Phase E.4.A Task 10 partial: adds the C51 gradient-w.r.t.-input
kernel needed to chain the C51 head's loss gradient back into the
Mamba2 temporal encoder.

Kernel signature: alpha_c51_grad_input_kernel reads probs[B, A, K],
m[B, K], actions[B], W[A*K, in_dim] and writes d_input[B, in_dim].
Math: dL/d_input[b,j] = Σ_k (p[b,a_taken,k] − m[b,k]) · W[a_taken*K+k, j]
(only the taken-action column of W contributes; restricted by the
sparse-over-actions C51 CE gradient structure).

Status: kernel + Rust launcher in place. Mamba2 backward NOT yet
wired in the smoke binary because ml_alpha::Mamba2Block::backward
takes d_logit [B, 1] (post-W_out scalar gradient), not
d_h_enriched [B, hidden_dim]. Two paths to complete:
  1. Modify ml-alpha to expose backward_from_h_enriched(cache,
     d_h_enriched) bypassing W_out.
  2. Replicate the post-W_out backward sequence inline.

Both deferred pending backtest validation (T14): if frozen Mamba2
already lifts backtest Sharpe meaningfully, T10 becomes
optimisation rather than prerequisite. Smoke gate already passed
gate 1 (R_mean +3.9 vs C51-flat -1.1) with frozen weights.

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
