Retires ISV[117]=AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA_INDEX together with its producer
kernel (aux_label_scale_ema_update), launch site, backward pass-through,
StateResetRegistry entry, HEALTH_DIAG snapshot field, and unit test.
Why: labels at the data layer are z-normalised, so the
mean(|label|) EMA tracked by ISV[117] sits at ~1.0 empirically.
Dividing by max(scale, 1e-6) before the residual `(pred - label)`
reduces to `(pred - label)` within rounding. The divisor was a
defensive scaffold from when the data layer carried mixed-scale
labels (1e-3 log returns vs 5000 raw prices); z-normalisation made
that scaffold redundant.
This is a numerical bridge, NOT the final fix. B1.1 lands on top:
- Aux head 1→2 dim (next-bar regression → 2-class direction logit)
- MSE → CE loss flip
- aux_dir_acc reads softmax over the 2 logits
- aux_pred_to_isv_tanh rewrite as logit-diff
- Producer kernel that fills aux_sign_labels with real -1/0/1 from
the 30-bar price trajectory (B0 plumbing currently zero-init)
- dqn_param_layout fingerprint bump (head dim changes)
- aux_b1_diag HEALTH_DIAG metric
- 17+ GPU oracle unit tests
Cascade (atomic per feedback_no_partial_refactor):
- aux_heads_kernel.cu: aux_next_bar_loss_reduce + aux_next_bar_backward
drop `isv` + `isv_label_scale_index` params; residual is (pred - label)
- aux_heads_loss_ema_kernel.cu: aux_label_scale_ema_update kernel deleted
- gpu_aux_heads.rs: kernel field/loader + launch_label_scale_ema +
isv_* args from next_bar_loss_reduce / backward_next_bar all dropped
- gpu_dqn_trainer.rs: Step 2b producer launch + ISV slot uses dropped;
AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA=117 line retained in fingerprint seed
(no fingerprint bump in B1.0; B1.1 will bump on head-dim flip)
- gpu_health_diag.rs + health_diag.rs: aux_label_scale snapshot field
dropped; aux block 4→3 floats, downstream offsets shift down by 1,
WORD_TOTAL 150→149, snapshot_size_is_stable test 150*4 → 149*4
- health_diag_kernel.cu: WORD_AUX_LABEL_SCALE removed, downstream
offsets shift, static_assert(WORD_TOTAL == 149)
- state_reset_registry.rs: isv_aux_label_scale_ema FoldReset dropped
- training_loop.rs: reset_named_state arm + HEALTH_DIAG read +
aux line label_scale field all dropped
- sp4_producer_unit_tests.rs: load_aux_label_scale_ema_kernel helper +
sp4_aux_label_scale_ema_writes_step_obs_via_pearl_a_then_converges_pearl_d
test dropped
Hard rules upheld:
- feedback_no_partial_refactor: every consumer of ISV[117] migrates
atomically — kernel + Rust orchestrator + producer launch + backward
+ HEALTH_DIAG + reset registry + unit test all in this commit
- feedback_no_stubs: not a stub — divisor is removed at every site,
not aliased through a 1.0_const shim
- feedback_no_legacy_aliases: no legacy AUX_LABEL_SCALE_EMA_INDEX → 1.0
alias function
- feedback_no_hiding: doc comments forward to B1.1 explicitly; no
underscore suppression or #[allow(dead_code)]
