jgrusewski d49fbbe4e2 spec(sp11): reframe curiosity as feature + add permanent floor
User correction: curiosity is the *fix* for the ep1-peak overfitting
pathology, not a hazard to defend against. Reframed §7 from "Risks"
to "Design notes" — curiosity bound is a signal-relative scale, not
a defensive cap.

Fix the contradiction this exposed in the formula: previous
`curiosity_pressure = stagnant_or_worse * curiosity_bound` went to
zero when improving, which would cancel the always-on exploration
the §7 narrative now relies on. Replace with permanent-floor pattern
per pearl_blend_formulas_must_have_permanent_floor:

  curiosity_floor    = 0.2 * curiosity_bound  (CURIOSITY_PERMANENT_FRACTION)
  curiosity_dynamic  = stagnant_or_worse * curiosity_bound
  curiosity_pressure = max(curiosity_dynamic, curiosity_floor)

Now curiosity is always ≥ 20% of bound (anti-overfitting baseline)
and rises toward the bound when stagnant (stagnation breaker).
Updated unit-test guidance to assert pressure > 0 even at z=+10.

CURIOSITY_PERMANENT_FRACTION=0.2 added to Invariant-1 fraction list.
Saboteur-rising-with-improvement reframed as adversarial-load feature
rather than over-stress risk.

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
