## The bug (audit 2026-05-09) `crates/ml/src/feature_cache.rs:calculate_dbn_cache_key_full` hashed only `(symbol, data_source, dbn_filenames+sizes)` — NOT `imbalance_bar_threshold` or `imbalance_bar_ewma_alpha`. Combined with `precompute_features.rs:346` unconditionally calling `build_volume_bars` regardless of `data_source`, this meant: 1. 14 audited production runs (Apr 11–May 8) all collided on the same fxcache key (`a3f933aa...` / `c07c960a...`) regardless of TOML `imbalance_bar_threshold` value 2. The imbalance-bar code path was reachable only via fxcache MISS, which never happens in production because `ensure-fxcache` always populates first 3. Every "tuning" of `imbalance_bar_threshold` across 16+ SP runs was a silent no-op — the system was actually running volume bars at DEFAULT_VOLUME_BAR_SIZE (100 contracts/bar) ## The fix (this commit) **Part A — cache key includes bar formation params:** - `calculate_dbn_cache_key_full` signature: 5 args → 7 args. Two new f64 params hashed via `to_le_bytes()`. - 4 callers updated atomically (per `feedback_no_partial_refactor`). - 2 new unit tests (`test_cache_key_includes_bar_threshold`, `test_cache_key_includes_bar_alpha`) pin the contract. **Part B — precompute_features actually USES data_source:** - New CLI args `--imbalance-bar-threshold` (default 0.5) and `--imbalance-bar-ewma-alpha` (default 0.1) on both train_baseline_rl and precompute_features. - `precompute_features.rs:346` now branches: when `data_source == "mbp10"` AND `mbp10_data_dir.is_some()`, calls `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` instead of `build_volume_bars`. **Argo plumbing:** - `train-template.yaml` + `train-multi-seed-template.yaml`: new workflow parameters threaded into BOTH precompute and trainer invocations so both compute the same fxcache key. - `scripts/argo-train.sh`: new CLI flags for ad-hoc overrides. - ensure-fxcache regen path: removed `rm -f /feature-cache/*.fxcache` (with bar-params now in key, parallel experiments coexist). ## Effects going forward - Tuning `imbalance_bar_threshold` actually changes bar density - Configuring `data_source = "mbp10"` actually produces imbalance bars - Multiple parallel experiments at different thresholds coexist on PVC - `dqn-production.toml: imbalance_bar_threshold = 0.5` no longer ignored Default values match prior production behavior → existing wgdc7-equivalent runs reproduce, just with a *new* fxcache key (the old volume-bar cache file is still on disk but won't be hit; harmless, can GC manually). Audit-doc: `docs/dqn-wire-up-audit.md` updated with full context. Tests: 5/5 feature_cache tests pass, full workspace + examples compile clean.

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
