jgrusewski eb7139c436 feat: adaptive C51 v_range — Q-values 0.008→0.525 (65× improvement)
Fundamental fix: C51 atom spacing (dz=0.6) was larger than the Q-value
range (0.02), making the distributional loss unable to resolve rewards.
The network was blind to its own learning signal.

Adaptive v_range via device buffer (same pattern as tau_buf):
- v_range_buf[2] on GPU, all C51/MSE/CQL/expected_q kernels read via
  pointer (graph captures stable address, reads value at replay time)
- Cold start: v_range=±1.0 → dz=2/51=0.039 → 25× atom resolution
- Monotonic expansion based on Q-stats every 50 training steps
- Never shrinks (avoids invalidating Bellman targets in replay buffer)

Kernel changes (5 files):
- c51_loss_kernel.cu, mse_loss_kernel.cu, mse_grad_kernel.cu,
  cql_grad_kernel.cu, compute_expected_q: scalar v_min/v_max → pointer

Also fixed:
- PopArt warmup 100→1 (start normalizing from step 1)
- PopArt variance floor 0.0001→1e-8 (allow sigma < 0.01)
- Backtest evaluator: allocate own v_range_buf for compute_expected_q
- num_atoms 51→52 in all TOMLs (TF32 4-element alignment)

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
