jgrusewski bf6ed42acf fix(ml-alpha): backward kernel concerns — atomicAdd-free per-channel scratch + forward cache (Phase 1d.1)
Addresses four concerns surfaced after the forward-pass commit:

1. Backward kernel was scaffolded with `if (j==0)` to dodge atomicAdd,
   but that drops contributions from j>0 channels. Rewritten so every
   (i, j) thread writes its UNIQUE slot in per-channel scratch:
     d_a_per_channel[N, sh2, K, state_d]
     d_b_per_channel[N, sh2, K, state_d]
   Followed by a unified reduction kernel mamba2_alpha_reduce_d_proj
   that sums over j → d_a_proj / d_b_proj [N, K, state_d]. Same kernel
   handles both call sites (DRY).

2. d_w_c gradient already had the right pattern (d_w_c_per_sample +
   mamba2_alpha_reduce_d_w_c); kept as-is. All three gradient outputs
   now follow the same atomicAdd-free scratch+reduce structure per
   feedback_no_atomicadd.

3. `forward()` was discarding LinearActivations which the backward path
   needs. New `Mamba2ForwardCache` struct carries (input_2d, x, a_proj,
   b_proj, h_enriched) — everything backward needs to recover gradients
   through the four projections + scan. `forward_train()` returns
   `(logit, cache)`; `forward()` thin-wraps and discards the cache for
   inference.

4. `x_hist[32 * 16]` in the backward kernel was hardcoded; configs with
   seq_len > 32 would silently corrupt. Added MAMBA2_KERNEL_SEQ_MAX=32
   constant + config validation. Backward kernel header documents both
   limits explicitly.

Tests (7 passing on real GPU):
- forward_train returns cache with correct shapes for all 5 tensors
- seq_len > 32 rejected at config validation
- state_dim > 16 rejected
- forward output [B, 1] all finite
- forward rejects wrong in_dim / seq_len
- kernel handles all 4 functions resolve (fwd / bwd / reduce_d_proj /
  reduce_d_w_c) + param-count sanity

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
