jgrusewski bbf9de3ea1 fix: grad_norm properly computed outside CUDA Graph — stable nonzero values
ROOT CAUSE: grad_norm kernel was inside graph_adam, but grad_buf was
zeroed by the gradient vaccine between graph_forward and graph_adam.
The vaccine zeros grad_buf to compute g_val, fails with INVALID_VALUE,
and the non-fatal error handler skips the restore — leaving grad_buf
zeroed when graph_adam's grad_norm kernel reads it.

TWO FIXES:

1. Move grad_norm computation OUT of graph_adam entirely:
   - New compute_grad_norm_outside_graph() method runs between graphs
   - Zeros grad_norm_f32_buf, launches grad_norm kernel, launches finalize
   - Called AFTER all gradient injections, BEFORE replay_adam()
   - Reads the ACTUAL modified grad_buf (C51 + CQL + IQN + ensemble)
   - All 3 replay paths updated (train_step_gpu, execute_train_scalars_only,
     replay_adam_and_readback)

2. Vaccine grad_buf restore on failure:
   - New restore_grad_from_vaccine_save() method
   - When vaccine fails after zeroing grad_buf, copies saved g_train back
   - Prevents grad_buf from staying zeroed after vaccine error

RESULT: grad_norm is now stable and nonzero across all epochs:
  Epoch 1: 0.6969
  Epoch 2: 0.6982
  Epoch 3: 0.6998

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
