jgrusewski f1359f3dcc fix(dqn): temporal smoothing for anti-intuitive LR controller
The anti-LR adjuster (config.rs#24) reacts to Sharpe swings by multiplying
the learning rate — good Sharpe → ×3 to escape overfit minima, bad Sharpe
→ ×0.3 to stabilize. Previously it fed on raw `sharpe_history.last()`,
which is a single noisy epoch value. In 30-epoch L40S smoke (train-br8cb
Fold 0) per-epoch Sharpe oscillated between −20 and +30, so the controller
flipped multipliers every epoch and amplified its own input noise —
gradient norm spiked to 1.16M at Epoch 18 from a baseline of ~3000.

Fix: feed the controller a rolling mean of the last `anti_lr_warmup`
epochs (the same knob that already gates the controller on — no new
hyperparameter). This filters per-epoch oscillation at the frequency the
anti-LR logic wants to react on (multi-epoch trends), while still letting
genuine sustained improvement or degradation trigger adjustments. Keeps
the original 3.0 / 0.3 multipliers and [0.1, 5.0] clamp — the problem
was the signal, not the magnitudes.

Why temporal instead of tightening magnitudes:
  * Shrinking 3.0/0.3 → 1.5/0.7 reduces the symptom but keeps the
    structure — still amplifies noise, just less.
  * Smoothing removes the noise before the controller sees it, so the
    controller stays as aggressive as designed.
  * No new magic numbers — reuses anti_lr_warmup (=5) for both
    "don't-tune-yet" and "this-is-a-stable-horizon".

Verified: multi-trial smoke 5/5 finite, 4/5 q_pass, median_q_gap=1.13.
Slight reduction vs the fold-reset baseline (2.13) is expected — the
smoother trades responsiveness for stability. Real validation is the
L40S 20-epoch behaviour test queued after this commit.

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
