ROOT CAUSE: run_backtracking_epoch_end received epoch_sharpe (training Sharpe from experience collection, ~0.65-0.79 oscillating) instead of val_Sharpe (deterministic backtest, 33.49 frozen for 56 epochs). Training Sharpe oscillates even when the model is frozen → sharpe_frozen was always false → AND condition never met → backtracking never triggered despite 56 consecutive frozen epochs in train-2tgs7. Fixes: 1. Pass val_sharpe (-val_loss) to run_backtracking_epoch_end 2. prev_val_sharpe field on BacktrackingState (not sharpe_history) 3. improvement_rate uses val_Sharpe delta (not training Sharpe) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
