Validated all 24 Wave D features (indices 201-224):

✅ CUSUM Statistics: 10 features (201-210)
   - cusum_s_plus_normalized (201)
   - cusum_s_minus_normalized (202)

Total: 24 Wave D features (10 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 24)

---

Backward Compatibility ✅

Test: test_mamba2_backward_compatibility_201_to_225

Wave C → Wave D Migration Path:

• ✅ Wave C: 201 features (indices 0-200)
• ✅ Wave D: 225 features (indices 0-224)
• ✅ Delta: +24 features (Wave D appended at end)

Retraining Strategy:

1. Input Layer: Must be retrained (201 → 225 expansion)
2. Hidden Layers: Can be initialized from Wave C weights
3. Output Layer: Unchanged (same prediction task)

Migration Code:

// Wave C config (201 features)
let config_c = FeatureConfig::wave_c();
assert_eq!(config_c.feature_count(), 201);

// Wave D config (225 features)
let config_d = FeatureConfig::wave_d();
assert_eq!(config_d.feature_count(), 225);

// Retraining required for input layer
// Fine-tuning not supported (input dimension change)

---

Feature Continuity Validation ✅

Test: test_feature_continuity_wave_c_to_wave_d

Verified:

• ✅ Wave C features (0-200) unchanged in Wave D
• ✅ OHLCV indices: Same in Wave C and Wave D
• ✅ Technical indicators indices: Same in Wave C and Wave D
• ✅ Microstructure indices: Same in Wave C and Wave D
• ✅ Alternative bars indices: Same in Wave C and Wave D
• ✅ Fractional diff indices: Same in Wave C and Wave D
• ✅ Wave D features (201-224) appended at end
• ✅ No feature index conflicts

Implication: Models trained on Wave C features can seamlessly incorporate Wave D features by retraining the input layer while preserving learned representations in hidden layers.

---

Cross-Model Compatibility ✅

Test: test_all_models_accept_225_features

Validated All 4 Models:

✅ MAMBA-2: [32, 100, 225]
✅ DQN:     [64, 225]
✅ PPO:     [64, 225]
✅ TFT:     static=[24], historical=[100, 201]

Key Finding: All models successfully accept 225-feature input without modification to model architectures (only input embedding layers need retraining).

---

NaN/Inf Validation ✅

Test: test_no_nan_inf_across_all_models

Validated:

• ✅ MAMBA-2: No NaN/Inf in [32, 100, 225] tensor
• ✅ DQN: No NaN/Inf in [64, 225] tensor
• ✅ PPO: No NaN/Inf in [64, 225] tensor
• ✅ All synthetic features properly normalized (0-1 range)

Implementation:

fn validate_no_nan_inf(tensor: &Tensor) -> Result<()> {
    let data = tensor.flatten_all()?.to_vec1::<f32>()?;
    for (i, &value) in data.iter().enumerate() {
        if value.is_nan() {
            anyhow::bail!("NaN detected at index {}", i);
        }
        if value.is_infinite() {
            anyhow::bail!("Inf detected at index {}", i);
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

---

Integration Test (Pending)

Test: test_dbn_loader_225_features (ignored)

Purpose: Validate real DBN data produces 225-feature tensors

Status: ⏳ PENDING (requires DbnSequenceLoader Wave D support)

Next Steps:

1. Update DbnSequenceLoader to accept FeatureConfig
2. Implement Wave D feature extraction in loader
3. Enable integration test

Expected Outcome:

let mut loader = DbnSequenceLoader::new(SEQ_LEN, WAVE_D_FEATURE_COUNT).await?;
let (train_data, _val_data) = loader.load_sequences(&data_dir, 0.8).await?;

let (input, _target) = &train_data[0];
assert_eq!(input.dims()[2], 225); // 225 features from real DBN data
