## Test Functions

### 1. `test_mamba2_training_e2e()` - Primary E2E Test

**Purpose**: Validate complete MAMBA-2 training workflow

**Test Steps**:
1. **Connection**: Connect to ML Training Service with TLS/mTLS
2. **Configuration**: Create training request with 5 epochs
   - Batch size: 8 (optimized for 4GB VRAM)
   - Hidden dim: 256 (memory efficient)
   - State dim: 32 (SSM state)
   - Learning rate: 1e-4
   - 6 layers
3. **Job Submission**: Start training job via gRPC
4. **Progress Monitoring**: Subscribe to training status stream
5. **Epoch Tracking**: Monitor all 5 epochs with progress updates
6. **Metrics Collection**: Collect loss, perplexity, learning rate
7. **Checkpoint Verification**: Verify checkpoint creation (conceptual)
8. **Status Validation**: Ensure training completes successfully

**Assertions**:
- Job ID is non-empty
- Initial status is `PENDING`
- At least one epoch update received
- Final status is `COMPLETED` or `RUNNING`
- Maximum epoch > 0
- Final progress > 0%
- Training metrics collected (loss ≥ 0, learning_rate > 0)

**Expected Behavior**:
```
✅ Connected to ML Training Service
📋 Training configuration: 5 epochs, batch_size=8, d_model=256
✅ Training job started: <UUID>
📊 Subscribing to training progress...
📈 Epoch 1/5 (20.0%) - Status: Running
   Loss: 0.123456
   Perplexity: 1.131402
📈 Epoch 2/5 (40.0%) - Status: Running
...
🏁 Training finished: Completed
✅ MAMBA-2 training E2E test PASSED!
```

---

### 2. `test_mamba2_training_cancellation()` - Cancellation Test

**Purpose**: Verify graceful training job cancellation

**Test Steps**:
1. Connect to ML Training Service
2. Start MAMBA-2 training job
3. Wait 2 seconds for training to start
4. Stop training job with reason "Test cancellation"
5. Verify stop response indicates success

**Assertions**:
- Job starts successfully
- Stop operation succeeds
- Stop response message is non-empty

**Expected Behavior**:
```
✅ Training job started: <UUID>
🛑 Stopping training job...
✅ Stop response: Training job stopped successfully
✅ MAMBA-2 training cancellation test PASSED!
```

---

### 3. `test_mamba2_invalid_hyperparameters()` - Validation Test

**Purpose**: Verify invalid hyperparameters are rejected

**Test Steps**:

2. Create request with invalid learning rate (10.0 - too high)
3. Attempt to start training
4. Verify request is rejected or fails validation

**Assertions**:
- Invalid parameters are either rejected immediately (gRPC error)
- Or job enters `FAILED` status during initialization

**Expected Behavior**:
```
✅ Invalid hyperparameters correctly rejected: <error message>
✅ MAMBA-2 invalid hyperparameters test PASSED!
```

    use_cuda_kernels: false // CPU for E2E test
}
```

**Tags**:
- `test_type`: "e2e"
- `model`: "mamba2"

---

### `create_test_data_source()`
**Purpose**: Create data source pointing to test Parquet files

**Data Path**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/test_data/btc_usdt_sample.parquet`

**Configuration**:
- Uses entire dataset (start_time: 0, end_time: 0)
- File-based data source (not streaming)

---

## Integration Points

### 1. ML Training Service (gRPC)

**Proto Definition**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/services/ml_training_service/proto/ml_training.proto`

**Methods Used**:
- `StartTraining(StartTrainingRequest) → StartTrainingResponse`
  - Initiates training job
  - Returns job ID and initial status
- `SubscribeToTrainingStatus(SubscribeToTrainingStatusRequest) → stream TrainingStatusUpdate`
  - Real-time progress monitoring
  - Epoch updates with metrics
- `StopTraining(StopTrainingRequest) → StopTrainingResponse`
  - Graceful job cancellation

---

### 2. MAMBA-2 Trainer

**Implementation**: `/home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt/ml/src/trainers/mamba2.rs`

**Key Components**:
- `Mamba2Hyperparameters`: Validates 4GB VRAM constraint
- `Mamba2Trainer`: GPU-accelerated training with checkpoint management
- `TrainingMetrics`: Loss, perplexity, throughput tracking
- `TrainingProgress`: Real-time progress callbacks

**Memory Estimation**:
```rust
// Estimates VRAM usage for validation
model_params + activations + gradients + optimizer_states
= d_model × n_layers × state_size × 4 bytes (f32)
+ batch_size × seq_len × d_model × n_layers × 4 bytes
+ model_params (gradients)
+ model_params × 2 (Adam optimizer)
```

**4GB VRAM Safe Limits**:
- Max estimated memory: 3500MB (leaves 500MB headroom)
- Batch size: 1-16
- Hidden dim: 256, 512, or 1024
- Layers: 4-12

---

### 3. Test Data

**Sample Data**: `test_data/btc_usdt_sample.parquet`
- Bitcoin/USDT trading data
- Parquet format for efficient I/O
- Used for feature extraction and training

---

## TDD Compliance

### Test-First Principles

1. **Test Written First**: ✅
   - Test created before MAMBA-2 trainer gRPC integration
   - Defines expected behavior and API contracts

2. **Red-Green-Refactor**: 🟡 (Pending)
   - **Red Phase**: Test will fail initially (ML Training Service stub)
   - **Green Phase**: Implement minimal gRPC handlers to pass test
   - **Refactor Phase**: Optimize trainer integration

3. **Comprehensive Coverage**: ✅
   - Success path: Complete training workflow
   - Failure path: Invalid hyperparameters
   - Edge case: Training cancellation

4. **Clear Assertions**: ✅
   - Each test step has explicit assertions
   - Failure messages include context
   - Metrics validated for sanity (loss ≥ 0, progress > 0%)

---

## Expected Test Failures (TDD Red Phase)

When running this test against the current system, expect these failures:

### 1. Service Implementation Gaps
```
❌ Failed to start training job: Unimplemented
Reason: ML Training Service StartTraining RPC not fully implemented
```

### 2. Progress Stream Empty
```
❌ Should receive at least one epoch update
Reason: SubscribeToTrainingStatus stream not connected to trainer
```

### 3. Checkpoint Management
```
⚠️ Checkpoint verification not implemented
Reason: MinIO/S3 checkpoint storage integration pending
```

---

## Implementation Roadmap (Green Phase)

To make these tests pass, implement:

### Phase 1: Basic Training Job Management (2-3 hours)
1. Implement `StartTraining` RPC handler
2. Create training job queue (in-memory or PostgreSQL)
3. Generate job IDs and track status
4. Return initial status response

### Phase 2: Progress Streaming (2-3 hours)
1. Implement `SubscribeToTrainingStatus` stream
2. Connect trainer progress callbacks to gRPC stream
3. Send epoch updates with metrics
4. Handle stream disconnects gracefully

### Phase 3: Trainer Integration (3-4 hours)
1. Wire `Mamba2Trainer` to gRPC service
2. Load test data from Parquet files
3. Execute training loop with callbacks
4. Collect and report metrics

### Phase 4: Checkpoint Management (2-3 hours)
1. Integrate MinIO S3 client
2. Save checkpoints every N epochs
3. Track checkpoint paths in database
4. Verify checkpoint integrity

### Phase 5: Cancellation & Cleanup (1-2 hours)
1. Implement `StopTraining` RPC handler
2. Gracefully terminate training threads
3. Clean up resources (GPU memory, file handles)
4. Update job status in database

**Total Estimated Effort**: 10-15 hours
