jgrusewski 82fe6cea66 feat(sp14): B.5 — gradient_hack_detect_kernel (anti-mesa-opt circuit breaker)
Detects suspected gradient hacking: when gate1 is open AND aux_dir_acc
post-open-minimum drops > LOCKOUT_TRIGGER_DROP (0.05) below the Schmitt
open-threshold (target + SCHMITT_BAND = target + 0.03) AND q_disagreement
rises > LOCKOUT_TRIGGER_DIS_RISE (0.10) above the analytic random-alignment
baseline 0.5, simultaneously.

Action: force gate1_open_state = 0 (ISV[391]); set lockout_remaining = 2.0
epochs (LOCKOUT_EPOCHS). During lockout, gate1 stays force-closed
regardless of alpha_grad_compute_kernel output.

Tracks AUX_DIR_ACC_POST_OPEN_MIN (ISV[394]): running minimum of aux_dir_acc
since gate1 last opened; resets to 1.0 sentinel when gate closes naturally
or when circuit breaker fires.

Slot indices shifted +2 from original plan (SP13 closeout added
HOLD_RATE_TARGET=381 + HOLD_RATE_OBSERVED_EMA=382): Q_DIS_SHORT=383,
GATE1=391, POST_OPEN_MIN=394, LOCKOUT=395. Matches sp14_isv_slots.rs.

Single-thread state-machine kernel (threadIdx.x==0 guard); runs at end of
each epoch after alpha_grad_compute_kernel. No atomicAdd per
feedback_no_atomicadd.md.

1 oracle test: gradient_hack_circuit_breaker_fires verifies trigger
conditions (aux_drop=0.08 > 0.05, q_rise=0.15 > 0.10) cause lockout=2.0
and gate1 force-close=0.0.

B.3+B.4 regression: 4 GPU tests unchanged (5 total GPU pass, 1 host pass).

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

# Run tests for a specific crate
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p <crate> --lib

# Clippy

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
