//! Bug #16: Reward Normalization Test
//!
//! Verifies that portfolio values are NOT normalized by initial_capital in reward calculation.
//! This test ensures rewards scale with portfolio growth, providing the learning signal DQN needs.
//!
//! ## Root Cause (Bug #16)
//! File: `ml/src/dqn/portfolio_tracker.rs:159`
//! Code: `let normalized_value = portfolio_value / self.initial_capital;`
//!
//! ## Problem
//! Even after Bug #15 fix (portfolio no longer resets per epoch), rewards stay constant because:
//! - Epoch 1: $100K → $100.4K, normalized = 1.004, reward = 0.004
//! - Epoch 2: $100.4K → $100.8K, normalized = 1.008, reward = 0.004 (SAME!)
//! - The denominator (initial_capital = $100K) never changes, so reward magnitude stays constant
//!
//! ## Expected Behavior After Fix
//! Rewards should scale with absolute portfolio changes:
//! - Epoch 1: $100K → $100.4K, reward ≈ 400.0 (raw difference scaled)
//! - Epoch 2: $100.4K → $100.8K, reward ≈ 400.0 (same absolute change)
//! - Epoch 50: $500K → $500.4K, reward ≈ 400.0 (same absolute change, larger base)
//!
//! As portfolio grows, even small percentage changes yield larger absolute rewards.
