jgrusewski 9d9ca3e6e7 spec(sp19+20): apply Q1(b) — Hold-reward EMA for Q-scale comparability
Q1 design decision (b): add explicit hold_reward_ema to center the per-bar
Hold reward, so Q(Hold) and Q(trade) targets are scale-comparable. The
marginal Q(trade) > Q(Hold) preference now comes from data variance in
each state (high-aux states pull Q(Hold) more negative), not from
structural scale asymmetry that depends on cost_scale magnitude.

Q2 decision: keep 4-quadrant fixed (no ramping partials). Already in spec.

Changes:
- §4.2 Hold opp-cost: dual emission documented — R_per_bar_centered
  (= R_per_bar - hold_reward_ema) for Q-target/replay tuple,
  R_per_bar uncentered for hold_baseline_buffer (Component 1 baseline)
- §4.5 Kernel 1: hold_reward_ema added (per-step on Hold-state bars only)
- §5 data flow: per-bar reward path shows the centered/uncentered split
- ISV slots: 9 → 10 (HOLD_REWARD_EMA_INDEX added)
- §8 footprint: Component 2 LoC 70 → 90 (+20 for dual emission)
- Total LoC estimate: 1620

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
