Three fixes for production readiness: 1. Direction Flat floor: 30% unconditional Flat probability prevents over-trading (was 7% Flat = 93% directional = massive cost drag). Hard constraint, not Q-dependent, can't snowball. Combined with hold enforcement (min_hold_bars=10), actual Flat is ~13%. 2. MSE loss online_eq + target_eq: consistent mean-logit for d<=1. Both sides of TD error use the same representation — no mismatch. Removes the last C51 softmax bias from magnitude gradient path. Half grows 2.7%→5.7%, Full grows 2.7%→5.3% across epochs. 3. compute_expected_q: mean-logit for d<=1 (action selection + eval). Safe — not in training loss path. Result: 7/7 diversity sustained, Flat stable at 13%, Sharpe positive at 3/4 epochs. 19/19 smoke tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
