jgrusewski 85792ed28a feat(alpha): stacker-threshold + Kelly-attenuation controller kernel
Phase E.2 Task 16. Engagement-rate self-correcting controller per
pearl_engagement_rate_self_correction. Single-block, single-thread
kernel; runs once per rollout-end boundary.

ISV slots driven:
  543  STACKER_THRESHOLD_INDEX        clamp [0, 0.5]  P-controller on rate
  545  TRADE_RATE_OBSERVED_EMA_INDEX  Pearl A+D floored Wiener-α
  546  STACKER_KELLY_ATTENUATION_INX  clamp [0.1, 1.0] P-controller on Sharpe

Reads ISV[544] TRADE_RATE_TARGET_INDEX (TrainingPersist anchor, set once
at training start).

Control law:
  observed = trade_count / max(decisions, 1)
  ISV[545] ← Pearl_A+D_floored(observed, prev, x_lag)
              [α* floor = 0.4 per pearl_wiener_alpha_floor_for_nonstationary;
               controller co-adapts with policy → need responsive EMA]
  err_rate = ISV[545] - ISV[544]
  ISV[543] ← clamp(0, 0.5, ISV[543] + k_threshold · err_rate)

  err_sharpe = rollout_sharpe - target_sharpe
  ISV[546] ← clamp(0.1, 1.0, prev_atten + k_atten · err_sharpe)
             where prev_atten = 1.0 if ISV[546] == 0.0 (sentinel-start)
             else ISV[546]

Wiener-α is INLINE (not via canonical apply_pearls_ad_kernel chain)
because the EMA is part of the control loop, not a separate diagnostic
slot. Lower latency, fewer kernels per step.

Floor at 0.1 on Kelly attenuation per
pearl_blend_formulas_must_have_permanent_floor — can't be 0, would
zero out position sizing permanently.

Pub launcher `launch_stacker_threshold_controller` in alpha_kernels.rs
with full safety asserts. Slot indices passed as i32 args (decouple
slot numbering from kernel).

GPU smoke test `stacker_threshold_controller_smoke_matches_hand_
computation` verifies 2-iteration sequence:
  Iter 1 (Pearl A):  observed=0.30 → ISV[545]=0.30; ISV[543]: 0.05 → 0.052
  Iter 2 (Pearl D):  observed=0.05 → ISV[545]=0.175 (α* hit floor 0.5)
                                     ISV[543]: 0.052 → 0.05275
Both within 1e-5 tolerance. Anchor slot 544 unchanged.

`cargo test -p ml --lib alpha_kernels`: 6 pass (compile witness + 5 GPU
smokes including this one) on RTX 3050 Ti in 2.18s.

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)

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
