Per user direction "no gating, this is the new default": the stacked
Mamba2 -> CfC -> heads design is THE production architecture. There's
no competing-baseline comparison to run. Validation reduces to normal
training metrics (per-horizon val AUC, train loss curve, sanity floor
of >0.5 AUC).
Deletions:
- crates/ml-alpha/src/gate/cfc_vs_mamba2.rs (gate verdict logic)
- crates/ml-alpha/src/gate/mod.rs
- crates/ml-alpha/examples/alpha_gate.rs (gate runner binary)
Renames:
- crates/ml-alpha/src/gate/auc.rs -> crates/ml-alpha/src/eval/auc.rs
- lib.rs: pub mod gate -> pub mod eval (gate implied comparison;
eval doesn't)
Spec amendments:
- Drop the "Gate baseline strategy" amendment (committed earlier
this session)
- Reframe the stacked-architecture amendment as a "decision" not a
"gate"; production path is unambiguous
- Reframe Section 4 "Validation gate: CfC must meet Mamba2" -> just
"Validation: per-horizon val AUC" with the >0.5 sanity floor
Doc cleanups: stale "Mamba2 gate baseline" mentions in build.rs and
pinned_mem.rs replaced with neutral wording. The Argo template
comment about "downstream gate consumption" becomes "for monitoring".
Test status: all 26+ ml-alpha tests pass. AUC tests (6/6) still pass
under the eval:: namespace.
