jgrusewski 96769d1711 docs(sp5): Pearl 7 closure — intent_dist freeze resolved without code
Plan task #296. Pearl 7 was an INVESTIGATION task in the SP5 brainstorm:
the pre-SP5 50-epoch baseline (train-multi-seed-cv2mw, F0 epochs 4-9)
showed intent_dist freezing at exact Bin(2, 0.5) ratios (0.25/0.50/0.25),
suggesting a hidden binary action decomposition somewhere downstream.

The plan §C4 closure rule: if post-SP5 smokes show intent_dist drifting
normally (no freeze), Pearl 7 closes with no code changes.

Verdict from 3 retained SP5-era smokes: intent_dist drifts smoothly each
epoch. No Bin(2, 0.5) freeze observed at:
  - smoke-test-ks2wf  (post-spread-filter, 5845e4403)
  - smoke-test-7pv9v  (Layer D additive, f42b5fff8)
  - smoke-test-w9nsw  (D4 atomic, 2e9e276a0)

(smoke-test-cnlrw (sanitize-only, 8434737a6) cached log was pruned
before evidence-collection; 3 retained smokes sample post-spread-filter
and full Layer D production paths and decisively satisfy the closure
rule on their own.)

Likely cause: SP5 Layer A's per-branch parameter lifting (C51 atom span,
NoisyNet σ, IQN τ schedule, loss budgets, Adam β/ε, Kelly floors) added
enough independent variability at every shared site that no single
2-state decomposition can dominate intent_dist in steady state.

What lands:
  - docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md  Pearl 7 closure entry
  - memory/pearl_intent_dist_freeze_resolved.md (new)
  - memory/MEMORY.md  Topic Files Index entry

No code changes. No follow-up spec opened. The escalation trigger
(re-freeze for ≥3 consecutive epochs in a future run) is documented
in the audit entry.

Closes plan task #296.

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
