jgrusewski 814bc1fe4e Merge: adaptive per-branch gradient-norm balancer — L40S root-cause fix
Branch worktree-agent-a510b4c9, commit 6cb2257163. Caps any branch's
weight-gradient L2 norm at `num_branches × median(branch_norms)` via a
new single-pass reduce+rescale CUDA kernel, wired into both the
ungraphed fallback and the `adam_grad_child` graph capture path.

Motivation: L40S train-mdh86 (terminated at epoch 20 after Sharpe
regression) showed grad_ratio_mag_dir ∈ {14793, 11934, 12858, 16406,
15141} for the first five epochs, then collapsed to 111× in a single
step at epoch 7 and destabilised learning for the remaining epochs.
HEALTH_DIAG forensics at /tmp/l40s_diag/health.log confirmed the
imbalance as the probable trigger.

Post-fix grad_ratio_mag_dir on the equivalent local smoke: 55, 78, 35,
11, 10 — a 268–1503× reduction in ratio magnitude.

Architectural rule (no tuned knobs, per feedback_adaptive_not_tuned.md):
  cap = num_branches × median(branch_norms)
  num_branches=4 is the factored-action axis count (architectural)
  median is a per-step statistical reference (adaptive)
  product is fully signal-driven

Smokes (local RTX 3050 Ti):
  magnitude_distribution: PASS — EVAL_DIST Q=0.153 H=0.255 F=0.592,
    3 internal folds Sharpe +16.7 / +38.8 / +49.1
  multi_fold_convergence: PASS — 3/3 folds Sharpe +57.8 / +55.6 / +119.3

Expected to resolve the L40S regression when validated with the next
argo-train.sh run.

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
