jgrusewski a72c5743fe build(ci): install wild linker, swap from mold in CI compile step
wild (https://github.com/davidlattimore/wild) is a Rust-native linker,
typically 10-30% faster than mold on large release-LTO links. We have
~5 service binaries each doing release-LTO link, so the saving is
meaningful: ~30-90 sec wall-time on a fresh compile.

Approach (CI-only swap, zero local-dev impact):
1. Dockerfile.ci-builder-cpu installs wild 0.8.0 alongside mold (both
   linkers present; revert path is trivial).
2. .cargo/config.toml keeps `-fuse-ld=mold` as the file default so
   `cargo build` works locally without requiring wild on PATH.
3. compile-and-deploy-template.yaml's compile-services script does an
   in-place sed substitution `mold -> wild` immediately before
   `cargo build`, gated on `command -v wild` so a missing binary
   silently falls back to mold instead of failing the build.

Why sed-in-script over RUSTFLAGS env var: RUSTFLAGS env var REPLACES
the entire target.<triple>.rustflags array (per cargo docs precedence:
env > target > build, mutually exclusive — they do NOT merge), which
would silently drop our existing -Wl,-z,relro/--as-needed/target-cpu
flags. Sed swap edits one token while preserving everything else.

Validation:
- python3 yaml.safe_load_all parses the template
- cargo check --workspace --release --locked succeeds locally (still
  using mold per the unchanged config.toml default)
- Dockerfile syntax visually verified; wild tarball URL confirmed live

Building

# Check compilation (no PostgreSQL required)
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check --workspace

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

# Clippy
SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo clippy --workspace

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
