Issue 2 (Clone state preservation): Implemented deep-copy of Q-table, eligibility traces, active trace states, and epsilon value in Clone() method. Cloned agents now preserve full learned state instead of starting fresh. Issue 3 (State dimension validation): Added comprehensive null and dimension validation in GetStateKey(). Validates state is not null and state.Length matches _options.StateSize before generating state key. Issue 4 (Performance optimization): Implemented active trace tracking using HashSet<string> to track states with non-zero traces. Only iterates over active states during updates instead of all states in Q-table. Removes states from active set when traces decay below 1e-10 threshold. Issue 5 (Input validation): Added null checks for state, action, and nextState parameters in StoreExperience(). Validates action vector is not empty before processing. Issue 6 (Parameter length validation): Implemented strict parameter length validation in SetParameters(). Validates parameter vector length matches expected size (states × actions) and throws ArgumentException with detailed message on mismatch. All fixes follow production standards: no null-forgiving operator, proper null handling with 'is not null' pattern, PascalCase properties, net462 compatibility. Performance optimized with active trace tracking significantly reduces computational overhead for large Q-tables. * fix: resolve all 6 critical issues in muzeroagent implementation Fix 6 unresolved PR review comments (5 CRITICAL): 1.

Batch 1 of review-response work. Each fix is the minimum change required to address the specific comment. CORRECTNESS * AdamOptimizer.Step (#11): the NaN/Inf anomaly guard now runs BEFORE _tapeStep++ and the bias-correction precomputation. Previously, a skipped step still advanced the step counter, distorting bc1/bc2 on the next real step. Skip semantics are now true no-ops. * AdamOptimizer.Step (#15): the per-step scan is configurable via AdamOptimizerOptions.AnomalyGuardMode (new AdamAnomalyGuardMode enum: Auto/Always/Never). Default Auto matches current behavior; Never saves the O(total-grad-elements) cost for fp64 / deterministic workloads. * BlasEnvDefault (#7): treat whitespace-only AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS as unset via IsNullOrWhiteSpace so accidental "AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS=' '" from a quoted-empty-string YAML doesn't silently disable the default-on behavior. * BlasEnvDefault (#21): added AppContext switch "AiDotNet.DisableAutoBlasEnvDefault" so hosted apps that don't want library code mutating process-wide environment can opt out entirely. Users keep full control via AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS regardless. * RecurrentLayer (#12/#18/#19): removed the genuinely-dead _lastHiddenState field. After the tape refactor it was never assigned anywhere, only nulled in ResetState — and its XML doc falsely claimed it was "needed during the backward pass". Removing it eliminates the misleading contract. DOCS * NeuralNetworkBase.TrainWithTape (#8): rewrote the stale "Persistent tape gates AutoTrainingCompiler" comment. The code uses Persistent=false (default), which was reverted in an earlier commit to fix cross-network state pollution in the compiler's thread-static cache. Documentation now matches reality. * Word2Vec (#6/#14): reworded the optimizer comment to make clear that only learning rate (0.025) and clipping policy (disabled) are paper-aligned; the algorithm remains Adam, not SGD as the paper uses, because SGD's tape integration silently no-ops on the trainable-param dict. * QuantumNeuralNetworkTests (#13): corrected the "small (±10%)" comment to "±0.5 absolute peak swing" matching the actual 0.5 * Sin(...) modulation. TOOLING * ResNetPerfHarness (#3/#4/#5): real CLI flag validation (--warmup/--iters/--model require values, --iters must be ≥ 1, unknown flags rejected with --help); added --help; wrapped the built network in `using` so its IDisposable resources are released before the harness exits. Build verified on net10.0 (0 errors).

…s, BLAS auto-enable, paper-aligned Word2Vec/Hope (#1286) * fix(NN): sGPT clone — TE base layer-doubling + decoder sublayer shape + metadata Three independent bugs in the TE-derived family caused SGPT clone tests to fail with cloned output collapsing to 0 while source produced reasonable values. 1. TE base ctor's InitializeLayersCore ran unconditionally, then SGPT/BGE/ ColBERT/InstructorEmbedding/SPLADE/SimCSE/MatryoshkaEmbedding ctors each appended their OWN layers without clearing — every derived class ended up with [TE encoder layers + derived layers], wiring a SECOND EmbeddingLayer mid-network that treated encoder float outputs as token IDs. Gate the base init on `GetType() == typeof(TransformerEmbeddingNetwork<T>)` and add defensive ClearLayers() in every derived InitializeLayersCore. 2. TransformerDecoderLayer.EnsureInitialized's sublayer pre-resolution loop used a single shape {1, _embeddingSize} for every sublayer, silently resolving _feedForwardProjection as (in=embed, out=embed) — the wrong shape, since its real input is _feedForwardDim. The parent's SetParameters then sliced by the wrong ParameterCount, corrupting the FFN-projection slice + every downstream sublayer's slice. Mirror the per-sublayer ResolveFromShape pattern from TransformerEncoderLayer.EnsureInitialized (which already gets this right). 3. TransformerDecoderLayer didn't override GetMetadata, so NumHeads / FeedForwardDim / SequenceLength were lost during serialize → deserialize defaulted to ResolveDefaultHeadCount(768)=8 instead of source's 12, split Q/K/V into different per-head subspaces, and produced divergent attention outputs even though every weight tensor copied identically. Persist the three ctor ints and fix the DeserializationHelper branch to call the ACTUAL 4-arg ctor (it was probing for a 6-arg signature that doesn't exist, falling back to the reflection matcher). All three fixes are required for SGPT Clone_ShouldProduceIdenticalOutput to pass at paper-scale (12-layer 768-dim decoder, 50257 vocab) without any test-side scaling — the SGPT test now passes locally end-to-end. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): rBM GetParameterChunks + GraphSAGE backward pass Two independent gradient-zero failures in PR #1279's 08e shard: RestrictedBoltzmannMachine stores all of its trainable parameters in network- level fields (_weights / _visibleBiases / _hiddenBiases per Hinton 2006 §3.3 where CD-k operates directly on W and the two bias vectors, not through ILayer sublayers). The base GetParameterChunks walks only the Layers collection so it yielded nothing — Training_ShouldChangeParameters and GradientFlow_ShouldBeNonZeroAndFinite snapshot before/after via that enumeration and got two empty snapshots, falsely reporting "Parameters did not change" / "gradients may all be zero". Override GetParameterChunks to yield the three tensors directly. GraphSAGENetwork.Train had a comment "Backward pass through all layers" followed by GetParameterGradients() with no actual backward call. The layer gradient tensors stayed at their zero-init values, the optimizer step applied zeros, and every memorization / parameter-change invariant failed. Replace with the standard TrainWithTape path (matches the 18-model SSM fix from PR #1278) — but install the adjacency matrix on every graph layer BEFORE delegating, because TrainWithTape walks Layers[i].Forward directly and bypasses the 2-arg Forward(input, adjacency) overload that normally sets adjacency. All 21 RBM and 24 GraphSAGE tests now pass locally. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): paper-aligned Word2Vec optimizer + Hope consolidation-step gate Word2Vec: Mikolov et al. 2013 explicitly use stochastic gradient descent with lr=0.025 (linear decay) — NOT Adam at lr=0.001. The previous default's BCE-on- random-targets memorization update was too small per step to drop loss by the test's 1% threshold (0.46% over 100 steps). Switch to Adam at the paper- prescribed lr=0.025 with gradient clipping disabled — SGD's tape integration silently no-ops on the trainable-param dict (a deeper bug that needs a focused follow-up), so Adam-with-paper-lr is the tape-compatible bridge to the paper's intent. Drop is now 0.58% (still below the invariant's 1%, but closer; the remaining gap reflects the underlying tape-coverage issue surfaced here, not optimizer config). HopeNetwork: The custom Forward at line ~243 increments _adaptationStep, but TrainWithTape walks Layers[i].Forward directly and bypasses that path, so the counter would stay at 0 forever and the `_adaptationStep % 100 == 0` gate in finally would fire on EVERY Train call — triggering ConsolidateMemory after every optimizer step (instead of every 100 per Behrouz et al. 2025 §3.4), mixing 1% of fast-block weights into slow blocks each step. Incrementing _adaptationStep in Train aligns the gate with the paper. Side-effect: the 1%-per-step weight-mixing previously hid an underlying gradient-flow defect (tape.ComputeGradients returns 6 keys, none matching the 49 ITrainableLayer sources), so Training_ShouldChangeParameters / GradientFlow_ShouldBeNonZero And Finite — which were passing via the consolidation-driven mutation — now fail honestly. The deeper tape-coverage bug needs its own focused follow-up; this commit makes the consolidation paper-correct and exposes the underlying defect rather than masking it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * perf(NN): auto-enable BLAS fast-path + paper-scale CNN profiling harness dotnet-trace profiling of paper-scale ResNet50 @ 224×224 training revealed the actual bottleneck: AiDotNet.Tensors 0.75.3's BlasProvider defaults its internal opt-in flag to false. With BLAS off, every Conv2D im2col+GEMM falls back to the in-house Im2ColHelper.MultiplyMatrixBlockedDouble blocked loop, and the BlasProvider.IsAvailable probe reports false (verified via a reflection probe in the new harness — _blasOptIn = False when AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS env is unset). Adding [ModuleInitializer] in AiDotNet that calls Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS", "1") when unset flips the default at the choke-point every consumer loads. Measured impact locally: - ResNet50 train step: ~9970 ms → ~9035 ms (-9.4%) - VGG11 train step: ~1100 ms → similar (already fast enough) The 9% headroom is the difference between 10 × 9970 = 99.7 s (right at the test base's 120 s timeout, blowing up on slower CI runners) and 10 × 9035 = 90.4 s (clears the bar comfortably). With this change the previously-timing-out tests now pass locally: - ResNetNetworkTests.Training_ShouldChangeParameters: 109 s ✓ - VGGNetworkTests.LossStrictlyDecreasesOnMemorizationTask: 135 s ✓ The opt-OUT path is preserved: any AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS value already set (0, 1, false, true, etc.) is left untouched. Only the unset / empty case is overridden — mirroring how PyTorch / NumPy / TF link BLAS by default without requiring a separate opt-in. The AiDotNet.Native.OpenBLAS NuGet is a transitive dependency of every AiDotNet install so libopenblas.dll is always on disk. net471 skips the ModuleInitializer (the attribute is .NET 5+); the failing test set is all net10.0 shards (08a, 08e) so the net471 gap doesn't matter for the targeted regression. Adds tools/ResNetPerfHarness — a small console exe that builds ResNet50 or VGG11 with paper-default ctor args, runs <n> warmup + <m> measured Train iterations, and reports per-iteration timings. Used by this commit's investigation; left in-tree as a reproducible profiling target. Uses RandomHelper.CreateSeededRandom(42) for crypto-grade reproducible RNG (matches the codebase's convention; never new Random()). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * perf(NN): persistent tape + outer TensorArena harness scope (~10% alloc cut) Deep dotnet-trace + GC.GetTotalAllocatedBytes profiling on the paper-scale training path revealed two issues beyond the BLAS gate fixed in the previous commit: 1. AiDotNet.Tensors.Engines.Autodiff.GradientTape.ComputeGradients dominates training-step wall time (~838 ms / call out of ~1.3 s VGG11 Train ≈ 65–73 % of step time; similar fraction on ResNet50). The tape's AutoTrainingCompiler can replay backward via a compiled CompiledBackwardGraph instead of walking entries + dictionary-keyed gradient lookups, but the replay path is gated on tape.Options.Persistent — which TrainWithTape was leaving at the default (false). Switch the tape to Persistent=true so the AutoTrainingCompiler engages after the first warm-up step. Pattern mismatch (different shapes / loss tensor identity) gracefully falls back to the tape-walk path, so the change is safe across the model zoo. 2. Per-iteration heap allocation pressure was huge — 582 MiB / VGG11 iter, ~2 GiB / ResNet50 iter, triggering 180+ Gen0 + a Gen2 collection per training step on ResNet50. Most of that is in the Tensors-package backward functions (allocating fresh gradient + activation buffers per op) and is outside this PR's scope to fix at the source, but wrapping the iteration loop in an outer TensorArena.Create() scope (mirroring the test base's pattern) at least gives the arena a longer-lived reuse window for intermediate tensors that route through TensorAllocator. Measured impact on ResNet50: alloc / iter drops 2055 MiB → 1837 MiB (~10 %), training step time 9.2 s → 8.5 s (~7 %). On VGG11: minor latency change but visible Gen2-count reduction across the 100-iter LossStrictlyDecreases test. The harness has also been cleaned up per review feedback: imports the namespaces it uses (Configuration / Enums / Tensors.Helpers) via using directives instead of hardcoding the fully-qualified names, and continues to use RandomHelper.CreateSeededRandom(42) (never new Random()) for the crypto-grade reproducible RNG the rest of the codebase uses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): recurrentLayer tape break + Adam NaN-guard + Word2Vec paper-faithful input Three independent fixes that take Hope and Word2Vec from "training visibly broken" (loss flat across iterations, every memorization invariant failing) to all 21 model-family tests passing for each network. 1. RecurrentLayer.Forward built its output by allocating a raw `new Tensor<T>([seq, batch, hidden])` buffer and mutating it in-place via Engine.TensorSetSliceAxis per timestep. The output tensor therefore had no GradFn — tape.ComputeGradients walking backward from `loss` dead-ended at the recurrent output, so EVERY upstream parameter (CMS sub-layers, embedding tables, anything before the recurrence) received a zero gradient. Verified empirically: a reflection probe on the gradient dict returned by tape.ComputeGradients for HopeNetwork showed `matched=0/49` trainable params — the recurrent layer was a tape firewall. Rewrite Forward to collect per-timestep newHidden tensors into a flat array and emit the final output via Engine.TensorStack, which records StackBackward on the autodiff tape so gradients can flow back through each step's matmuls + biases and into upstream layers. 2. Adam can develop a near-zero denominator (sqrt(v_hat) + eps) on narrow memorization tasks where v_t collapses toward 0 after the loss converges. The next step then produces a NaN/Inf gradient that poisons the m/v moment accumulators permanently — every subsequent step produces NaN weights. Add a PyTorch GradScaler-style guard at the top of AdamOptimizer.Step: if any gradient has NaN or Inf, return early (DON'T update weights, DON'T touch m/v). On HopeNetwork's memorization path empirically NaN'd at iter ~10 of a 10-iter / 100-iter test pre- guard; with the guard, the network converges to loss ~0.013 (a 96 % drop from 0.357) and weights stay finite for arbitrarily many follow-on iterations. 3. Word2VecTests.CreateRandomTensor inherited the test base's default — uniform doubles in [0, 1) — which all cast to integer 0 inside the EmbeddingLayer lookup. Only embedding[0] ever received a gradient; the remaining 9999 rows of the U matrix stayed frozen and the model couldn't memorize a 10000-class target. LossStrictlyDecreasesOnMemorization was saturating at ~0.6 % loss drop over 100 steps. The test-base's own XML doc on CreateRandomTensor explicitly calls out Word2Vec / GloVe as the override pattern this needs; just hadn't been applied. Emit integer token IDs in [0, 1000) so the 10x ScaledInput invariant still stays in vocab range. Side-effect from the consolidation-step fix in the previous commit: the TrainWithTape Persistent=true that the perf commit added pollutes cross-network state in AutoTrainingCompiler (the compiled backward is shared per-thread, so Clone-then-Train tests like HopeNetwork.MoreData_ShouldNotDegrade saw network1 vs network2 diverge even with identical initial weights and identical training data). Revert Persistent=true back to the default. The BLAS auto-enable from the prior commit (which delivered the more impactful ~10 % step-time win on ResNet / VGG) is unchanged. Results: all 21 HopeNetworkTests pass (was 4 failing); all 21 Word2VecTests pass (was 1 failing on memorization). All other previously- passing model families still pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * perf(diffusion): parallel + non-locked init for paper-scale text conditioners Unit-03 Diffusion/Encoding shard was failing because the cumulative wall time of paper-scale text-conditioner ctor tests blew past the CI runner's budget — not because any individual test asserted false. Profiling the slowest ctor (SigLIP2TextConditioner default = 1m10s on CI / 23s local) identified the bottleneck: 365M-element Box-Muller weight init running single-threaded through LockedRandom.NextDouble, which acquires + releases a lock on EVERY draw (2 draws per output element). Two fixes applied at the ctor-time init layer: 1. TextConditioningBase.InitializeWeights: partition the fill across logical cores (Parallel.For, threshold 256K elements) and give each chunk a non-locked `new Random(seed)` instead of LockedRandom. Per- chunk RNG is owned by exactly one Parallel.For body for its entire lifetime, so LockedRandom's lock is pure overhead — the SigLIP2 default ctor drops 23 s → 4.7 s locally (≈5×). Determinism is preserved: caller-supplied seeds flow through to a deterministic per-chunk seed derivation. Same fix path also accelerates every CLIP / SigLIP / Gemma / Qwen / ChatGLM variant since they all share this base. 2. T5TextConditioner.RentAndInitLayerWeights: the seven Xavier fills per layer (Q, K, V, attnOut, ffnGate, ffnValue, ffnOut) are embarrassingly parallel — each writes to its own buffer with its own derived seed. Wrap them in `Parallel.Invoke` so the 7×F×H Box-Muller draws amortize across cores instead of running serially. On T5-XXL that's 193M elements × 24 layers per ctor; the previous serial fill was the 24 s T5-Large ctor time. 3. InitializationStrategyBase.XavierFillDouble / XavierFillFloat: same LockedRandom-elision fix on the parallel-chunk path so every layer that goes through the standard Xavier / He / LeCun strategies also benefits (transformer encoders, dense layers, conv layers — anything wider than the 256K-element parallel threshold). Verification: all 4 previously-slow conditioner tests (SigLIP2, T5-Large, T5-XXL, T5-XL) now run in ~5 s total (was ~141 s). The RecurrentLayer + Hope / Word2Vec fixes from the previous commits continue to pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * perf(init): unlock RNG on sequential Xavier fill path Extends the previous parallel-fill commit to the sequential branch too. SD 1.5's UNet + VAE allocate hundreds of small (<256K-element) conv-kernel weight tensors, each hitting the sequential path of XavierFillDouble / XavierFillFloat. Every one of them was paying LockedRandom's lock-on-every-NextDouble overhead. The fix: derive a fresh non-locked Random from the master RNG once per sequential fill and use it for the entire Box-Muller loop. Determinism is preserved (master seed → chunk seed via Next() is reproducible); ~2N lock acquires per fill go away. Cumulative impact on diffusion ctor wall time (local): SigLIP2TextConditioner 23.3 s -> 2.6 s (9.1× faster) StableDiffusion15Model - 5.2 s (was the bottleneck behind D3PO / StudentTeacher / etc.) T5TextConditioner(T5-XXL) - 0.5 s (was 23 s+ on CI) D3PO / AsyncOnlineDPO / StudentTeacherFramework tests each instantiate two SD15 models — at 5.2 s × 2 ≈ 10.4 s local / ~30 s CI per test, they now finish well inside the 120 s xUnit per-test timeout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tests): quantum-aware test inputs for QuantumNeuralNetwork invariants QuantumLayer.Forward L2-normalizes its input to unit length per the Born- rule convention for state amplitudes (‖ψ‖₂ = 1, so |ψᵢ|² is a probability). That makes the network deliberately SCALE-invariant: a uniformly-constant tensor at any scalar value normalizes to the same uniform unit vector, and the base test suite's "compare outputs for inputs 0.1 vs 0.9" and "compare outputs for input vs 10×input" invariants therefore false-fail on a correctly-implemented quantum model. Per the base CreateConstantTensor's own XML-doc ("Virtual so paper-faithful … models can translate constant scalars …"), this is the documented override pattern for non-magnitude-preserving networks: 1. Override CreateConstantTensor to use an ADDITIVE position-dependent modulation: tensor[i] = value + 0.5 · sin(i·π / (N − 1)). The relative shape of the tensor — and therefore its post-normalization direction — varies with `value`, so QuantumLayer sees two genuinely different quantum states for the test's 0.1 vs 0.9 probes. (The earlier MULTIPLICATIVE form preserved direction across value and is the anti-pattern this commit deliberately avoids.) 2. Override ScaledInput_ShouldChangeOutput (now virtual on the base): a scalar 10× scale is fundamentally a no-op for a unit-norm-encoded network, so swap it for an additive position-dependent perturbation that DOES change the input's direction. The invariant the base test checks — "Forward pass actually consumes input values, isn't a constant function" — still holds, just via a quantum-appropriate probe. Verified all 21 QuantumNeuralNetworkTests pass locally; the 4 previously-failing in CI on Unit-08e (Training_ShouldReduceLoss, ScaledInput_ShouldChangeOutput, DifferentInputs_ShouldProduceDifferentOutputs, DifferentInputs_AfterTraining_ShouldProduceDifferentOutputs) all clear. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): address 8 of 21 CodeRabbit review comments on PR #1286 Batch 1 of review-response work. Each fix is the minimum change required to address the specific comment. CORRECTNESS * AdamOptimizer.Step (#11): the NaN/Inf anomaly guard now runs BEFORE _tapeStep++ and the bias-correction precomputation. Previously, a skipped step still advanced the step counter, distorting bc1/bc2 on the next real step. Skip semantics are now true no-ops. * AdamOptimizer.Step (#15): the per-step scan is configurable via AdamOptimizerOptions.AnomalyGuardMode (new AdamAnomalyGuardMode enum: Auto/Always/Never). Default Auto matches current behavior; Never saves the O(total-grad-elements) cost for fp64 / deterministic workloads. * BlasEnvDefault (#7): treat whitespace-only AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS as unset via IsNullOrWhiteSpace so accidental "AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS=' '" from a quoted-empty-string YAML doesn't silently disable the default-on behavior. * BlasEnvDefault (#21): added AppContext switch "AiDotNet.DisableAutoBlasEnvDefault" so hosted apps that don't want library code mutating process-wide environment can opt out entirely. Users keep full control via AIDOTNET_USE_BLAS regardless. * RecurrentLayer (#12/#18/#19): removed the genuinely-dead _lastHiddenState field. After the tape refactor it was never assigned anywhere, only nulled in ResetState — and its XML doc falsely claimed it was "needed during the backward pass". Removing it eliminates the misleading contract. DOCS * NeuralNetworkBase.TrainWithTape (#8): rewrote the stale "Persistent tape gates AutoTrainingCompiler" comment. The code uses Persistent=false (default), which was reverted in an earlier commit to fix cross-network state pollution in the compiler's thread-static cache. Documentation now matches reality. * Word2Vec (#6/#14): reworded the optimizer comment to make clear that only learning rate (0.025) and clipping policy (disabled) are paper-aligned; the algorithm remains Adam, not SGD as the paper uses, because SGD's tape integration silently no-ops on the trainable-param dict. * QuantumNeuralNetworkTests (#13): corrected the "small (±10%)" comment to "±0.5 absolute peak swing" matching the actual 0.5 * Sin(...) modulation. TOOLING * ResNetPerfHarness (#3/#4/#5): real CLI flag validation (--warmup/--iters/--model require values, --iters must be ≥ 1, unknown flags rejected with --help); added --help; wrapped the built network in `using` so its IDisposable resources are released before the harness exits. Build verified on net10.0 (0 errors). Remaining 13 comments to follow in subsequent batches (TextConditioningBase determinism, DeserializationHelper SequenceLength default, TransformerDecoderLayer metadata, GraphSAGENetwork helper extraction, RBM GetParameterChunks allocation, Word2VecTests target tensor handling, AdamOptimizer NaN guard unit test). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): address remaining 13 of 21 CodeRabbit review comments on PR #1286 Batch 2 of 2 — completes the review-response work started in e617ce4. CORRECTNESS * TextConditioningBase.InitializeWeights (#9): seeded init no longer depends on Environment.ProcessorCount. Switched to fixed-size 64K chunks so chunk count, chunk boundaries, and the number of Rng.Next() calls all depend only on `size` — not on the host's core count. A model initialized with seed=42 on an 8-core CI worker now produces byte-identical weights to seed=42 on a 64-core dev box, and downstream Rng consumers see the same RNG state regardless of host. Per-chunk seed derived from a single baseSeed via FNV-prime mix. * DeserializationHelper SequenceLength fallback (#20): rolled back the implicit 512 default to 1 for rank-<2 inputs. Feature-only rank-1 tensors no longer mysteriously deserialize with a 512-token sequence-length memory budget; callers needing the paper default of 512 must write it into metadata at serialization time. * TransformerDecoderLayer GetMetadata (#2): writes FfnActivationType alongside NumHeads/FeedForwardDim/SequenceLength. Without this, decoders built with a non-default FFN activation (ReLU/SiLU for paper variants) would deserialize back to the constructor default (GELU) — leaving clone/deserialize behaviorally divergent even when every weight tensor copies identically. REFACTOR * GraphSAGENetwork (#1): extracted PrepareGraphLayersForForward() as the single source of truth for the "resolve adjacency + propagate to every IGraphConvolutionLayer" preamble. Train and GetNamedLayerActivations now share one path so a future change to the policy can't drift between them — which is exactly how the original #1286 regression happened (Train forgot to install adjacency, GetParameterGradients returned zero gradients, every memorization invariant failed). PERF * RestrictedBoltzmannMachine.GetParameterChunks (#17): cache the three returned tensors after the first call. Invariant tests poll parameter state every iteration; the previous three-fresh-tensor allocation surfaced as measurable allocator pressure. Values are still copied (RBM's parameters live in Matrix<T>/Vector<T>, not Tensor<T>) but allocation is skipped on every call after the first. TEST CORRECTNESS * Word2VecTests (#10): override CreateRandomTargetTensor to keep targets continuous in [0, 1). Previously the input-side CreateRandomTensor override (which emits integer token IDs in [0, 1000) for the embedding layer) was inherited by the target factory, producing out-of-range targets for Word2Vec's default BinaryCrossEntropyLoss. Now inputs are token IDs and targets are BCE-compatible probabilities. TEST COVERAGE * AdamOptimizerAnomalyGuardTests (#16): NEW focused unit tests for AnyGradientIsAnomalous (NaN, +Inf, -Inf, all-finite) and ShouldRunAnomalyGuard (Auto/Always/Never modes). Built via reflection on the private guard methods so the test doesn't depend on the full TapeStepContext + ParameterBuffer wire-up. End-to-end "poisoned step is a no-op" semantics remain covered by the existing HopeNetwork model-family tests that originally surfaced the NaN-propagation bug. Build verified on net10.0. All 7 new anomaly-guard tests pass. Resolves the full set of 21 review threads from CodeRabbit on PR #1286. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(NN): address 6 more CodeRabbit review comments on PR #1286 * QuantumNeuralNetworkTests.cs (line 74): override missed [Fact] attribute. xUnit doesn't inherit test attributes — without an explicit [Fact] on the override, the test would silently not be discovered for QuantumNeuralNetworkTests. Mirror the base's [Fact(Timeout=120000)]. * AdamOptimizerAnomalyGuardTests.cs (line 108): GetConstructors()[0] is brittle (reflection ordering is not guaranteed; a new ctor overload would silently bind to the wrong one). Select the public ctor with the most parameters via OrderByDescending — matches the construction site in NeuralNetworkBase that passes every available context field. * TextConditioningBase.cs (line 265): replaced `new Random(chunkSeed)` with RandomHelper.CreateSeededRandom to route through the same centralized helper used for the base Rng at line 131. * ResNetPerfHarness/Program.cs: lifted the ctor-only probes (siglip2-ctor / sd15-ctor / t5xxl-ctor) into a new TryRunCtorProbe helper that runs the probe and returns true so Main can exit normally. Build() is now a pure (model, input, target) factory — no Environment.Exit baked in. * AdamOptimizer.ShouldRunAnomalyGuard (line 1088): the default switch arm silently fell back to "enable guard" for unknown enum values. Throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException with the actual value + valid list so misconfiguration fails loudly. * HopeNetwork (line 596): removed redundant `_adaptationStep > 0` check. After the immediately-preceding increment, the counter is always >= 1, so modulo alone naturally skips Train calls 1-99. Build clean on net10.0; all 7 AdamOptimizerAnomalyGuardTests still pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * audit(2026-05): coverage ratchet not done (lives in tensors); changelog backfill (210 entries), helloworld iris classifier, 3 new website pages, docs/internal manual-steps, readme aidotnet.dev links, notice + readme 4-year fix closes audit findings: #15 (changelog stale) — scripts/regen-changelog.sh added; ran against gh release list --limit 300 → fetched 210 releases for ooples/ aidotnet. changelog.md now reflects the actual release history (1275 lines) instead of the [unreleased] - 2025-12-18 + [previous changelog entries would appear here] placeholder. script is idempotent and runs in ci on demand. #16 (codeowners) — phase 0 done in prior commit; manual-steps doc added covering the phase-6 backup-maintainer onboarding work. #19 (helloworld doesn't match readme) — samples/getting-started/ helloworld/program.cs rewritten from 91-line xor to a 3-class iris classifier (~75 lines including the inlined dataset). uses the actual neuralnetworkarchitecture + neuralnetwork + aimodelbuilder api, not the aspirational marketing snippet. readme "hello world example" updated to a literal extract of the same code with a link to the full sample. helloworld readme rewritten to describe the iris example. prior xor sample preserved in git history. website work (audit-2026-05): /security new page; mirrors security.md (admin@aidotnet.dev, ghsa, pgp, sla, embargo, supported versions, federal-adoption paragraph) /enterprise new page; describes custom builds (disable_telemetry + disable_license_guard gated by enterprise license), offline license validation, fips 140-3, nist ssdf sbom + slsa l3, dedicated support /federal-use new page; doe / dod / civilian agencies / national labs scope, compliance posture table (ssdf, ai rmf, fips 140-3, fedramp-aligned, cmmc, cui), procurement vehicles (gsa, sbir/sttr, ota, direct), audit trail artifacts available on request /pricing enterprise tier features expanded to include the phase-0 capabilities (custom builds, offline license, air-gapped, fips, ssdf). federal-use callout added below the tier comparison. docs/internal/audit-2026-05-manual-steps.md added documenting what the user has to do outside the pr: dns config, mailbox + pgp key, github security advisories, phase-4 enterprise license signing, stripe payment links, backup maintainer onboarding. notice + readme 3-year → 4-year fix: the bsl license file uses the "fourth anniversary" clause; my prior notice update incorrectly said three years and the README also said three years. corrected both to four years with cross-reference to the license clause. readme links: ooples.github.io/aidotnet/license/ → aidotnet.dev/ license, ooples.github.io/aidotnet/ → aidotnet.dev/docs, ooples. github.io/aidotnet/pricing/ → aidotnet.dev/pricing. preserved the api/ link to ooples.github.io since that's where docfx publishes the api reference.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * audit(2026-05) finding #14 phase 2b: remove unused pinecone dep + document elasticsearch/seal metapackage extraction addresses the dep-sprawl audit finding. concrete-usage survey of the flagged deps showed: pinecone.client 0 usages in src/ removed from core csproj elastic.clients 1 usage (rag/documentstores/elasticsearchdocumentstore.cs) kept for now + comment scheduling metapackage move microsoft.research.sealnet 1 usage (federatedlearning/cryptography/seal homomorphicencryptionprovider.cs) kept for now + comment scheduling metapackage move npgsql.entityframeworkcore.postgresql used only in aidotnet.serving (already a separate project — appropriately scoped) microsoft.data.sqlite used only in aidotnet.serving (already separate) so the audit complaint about dep sprawl was partially overstated — ef core / sqlite / postgres are appropriately scoped to the serving subproject already, and pinecone was a pure dec-no-use. the genuine cases are elasticsearch and seal (one file each), which want extraction to aidotnet.storage.elasticsearch and aidotnet.privacy.he metapackages respectively as a follow-up commit on this branch. phase 2b done this commit: - remove pinecone.client packagereference from src/aidotnet.csproj (kept the directory.packages.props version pin in case it returns) - replace bare elasticsearch + sealnet packagereferences with versions annotated with the planned-extraction comment, so a future commit that moves the single file out can grep for the audit ref + remove the line cleanly phase 2b pending (follow-up commits on this branch): - create src/aidotnet.storage.elasticsearch/aidotnet.storage.elasticsearch.csproj move elasticsearchdocumentstore.cs to it; keep idocumentstore in core - create src/aidotnet.privacy.he/aidotnet.privacy.he.csproj move sealhomomorphicencryptionprovider.cs to it; keep ihomomorphicencryptionprovider in core - update aidotnet.sln to include the new projects - smoke-test downstream consumers (federated-learning + rag tests that need to install the new metapackages explicitly) build verified clean after pinecone removal: dotnet build src/aidotnet. csproj -c release -f net10.0 → 0 errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * audit(2026-05) phase 3a: rt-2 paper-faithful action tokenization + autoregressive decode Replaces the heuristic cosine-affinity action-bin scoring with the paper-faithful RT-2 inference path (Brohan et al. 2023, arXiv:2307.15818 §3.2): * RT2ActionTokenizer<T>: 256-bin uniform per-dimension discretization mapped to the last 256 vocabulary token IDs (the paper's "least frequently used" reservation). Round-trip encode/decode, per-dim min/max ranges with broadcast-from-scalar, greedy bin-window argmax over logits. * RT2.cs vocabulary-projection head: appends LN + DenseLayer(vocabSize) so the same forward path serves both VQA co-fine-tuning batches and robot- action batches, per paper §3.1. * PredictAction now autoregressively decodes ActionDimension × PredictionHorizon action tokens via greedy selection inside the tokenizer's reserved window, rather than computing all positions in one shot via cosine heuristics. * Multimodal fusion concatenates [visual_features, text_embeddings] along the sequence dimension, matching the PaLI/PaLM-E encoder context layout. Verified: builds clean on net10.0 + net471 (0 errors). Not verified in-session: bit-exact numerical parity vs a public PaLI-X / PaLM-E reference (weights are not publicly released) and physical robot evaluation (requires sim or hardware). * audit(2026-05) phase 3d: janus-pro decoupled vision encoders + vq codebook + cfg-guided generation Replaces the heuristic CFG + tokenId-to-RGB-hash generation path with the paper- faithful Janus-Pro pipeline (Chen et al. DeepSeek 2025, arXiv:2501.17811): * JanusVQCodebook<T>: 16384-entry × 8-dim VQ-VAE codebook per paper Table 1. Quantize (nearest-neighbour by squared Euclidean), Lookup (id → embedding), LookupGrid (token sequence → spatial embedding grid for the decoder), and LoadCodebook for checkpoint-driven weight transfer. Initialised with a deterministic spectral spread so nearby IDs have nearby embeddings. * JanusPro.GenerateImage: paired conditional + unconditional autoregressive forward passes, classifier-free guidance interpolation (Ho & Salimans 2022) at each step, greedy argmax inside the codebook-token window of the unified vocabulary, codebook lookup → projection-to-decoder-dim → context append. * JanusPro.InitializeLayers: unified head emits vocabulary + codebook tokens (LM head dim = VocabSize + NumVisualTokens), so the same projection serves both modalities, matching paper §3.1. * JanusPro decoupled paths: EncodeImage / GenerateFromImage use the SigLIP understanding encoder; GenerateImage uses the VQ-VAE generation pipeline. No weight sharing between them beyond the central LLM, matching Janus §3.1. * VQ-VAE detokenizer: codebook embeddings → bilinear-smoothed pixel expansion. Honest scope note: this is an un-trained analogue of the paper's deconv decoder; loading a public Janus-Pro checkpoint replaces the projection weights so the output becomes photorealistic. * JanusProOptions: NumGenerationTokens (576 = 24×24 default per paper §3.3), CodebookEmbeddingDim (8), CfgScale (7.0) — all with paper citations. Verified: builds clean on net10.0 + net471 (0 errors). Not verified in-session: parity vs DeepSeek public Janus-Pro-7B / 1B checkpoints, FID/CLIP-Score image metrics on GenEval/DPG-Bench (require full DeepSeek tokenizer + sim/eval rig). * audit(2026-05) phase 3b: helix dual-system (s1/s2) controller + latent bridge Replaces the heuristic per-joint kinematic-chain code with the paper-faithful Helix dual-system / dual-rate architecture (Figure AI 2025, arXiv:2502.07092): * HelixSystem2Latent<T>: typed conditioning signal that S2 emits for S1, with freshness tracking (ProducedAtTick, ValidForTicks, IsStaleAt) so the runner knows when to re-invoke S2 vs reuse the cache. * HelixDualSystemRunner<T>: explicit S1:S2 rate splitter that lazily invokes S2 every System2TicksValid ticks (default 22 — paper §4.1: S1 @ 200 Hz, S2 @ ~9 Hz) and runs S1 every tick. Step/Rollout/Reset API for streaming control loops where the caller owns timing. * Helix.System2Forward: full VLM pass (vision encoder + LLM decoder + LayerNorm + S2_LatentDim projection head). Emits the semantic latent per paper §3.2. * Helix.System1Forward: fast 80M visuomotor transformer (8 layers × 384 dim × 6 heads → ~80M params per paper §3.3). Consumes [visual_features, S2_latent] and emits tanh-bounded continuous joint commands. * Helix.PredictAction: paper-faithful one-shot inference — one S2 invocation, PredictionHorizon S1 invocations reusing the cached latent, matching the paper §4.1 inference protocol. * Helix.CreateDualSystemRunner: factory for streaming 200 Hz control. * HelixOptions: System2LatentDim (512), System1HiddenDim (384), System1NumLayers (8), System1NumHeads (6), System1ToSystem2Ratio (22), ActionDimension default bumped to 35 (paper §3.4: torso 3 + arms 7×2 + hands 8×2 + neck 2). Verified: builds clean on net10.0 + net471 (0 errors). Not verified in-session: hardware deployment on Figure 02 (requires their proprietary stack), 200 Hz throughput target (CPU latency depends on Tensors-side fused kernels), or behavioural parity with Figure's unreleased public weights. * audit(2026-05) phase 3c: gr00t-n1 flow-matching action head + dit dual-system Replaces the heuristic "alpha-blend toward smoothed VLM target" pseudo-diffusion with the paper-faithful GR00T N1 inference path (NVIDIA 2025, arXiv:2503.14734): * GR00TFlowMatchingActionHead<T>: flow-matching Euler integrator per Lipman et al. ICLR 2023 (arXiv:2210.02747). Takes a velocity-network callback (x_t, t, latent) → v_θ and Euler-integrates from Gaussian noise at t=0 to the data distribution at t=1. 16 default integration steps per paper §4.1. RandomHelper for the noise source (CreateSecureRandom when no seed, CreateSeededRandom when seed is supplied). * GR00TN1.System2Forward: SigLIP-style vision encoder + Eagle-2 LLM decoder + LayerNorm + System2LatentDim projection (paper §3.1). * GR00TN1.System1Velocity: DiT-AdaLN-style velocity network — concatenates [noisy_action, sinusoidal_time_embedding, S2_latent] and runs through the System-1 transformer stack. Sinusoidal embedding matches Vaswani et al. 2017 adapted for continuous t per Lipman et al. eq. 5. * GR00TN1.PredictAction: paper-faithful dual-system inference — one S2 pass + flow-matching Euler integration via the action head. * GR00TN1.CreateDualSystemRunner: reuses HelixDualSystemRunner<T> for streaming 50 Hz S1 control (paper §4.1 default S1:S2 = 5:1). * GR00TN1Options: System2LatentDim (1536), System1HiddenDim (1024), System1NumLayers (12), System1NumHeads (16) — paper §3.2 280M-param DiT config. FlowMatchingSteps (16), System1ToSystem2Ratio (5), LanguageModelName bumped to "Eagle-2". Verified: builds clean on net10.0 + net471 (0 errors). Not verified in-session: parity vs NVIDIA GR00T-N1-3B public HuggingFace weights (requires Eagle-2 tokenizer + SigLIP weight converter), or hardware deployment via IsaacLab. Closes audit finding #6 for the 4 paper-faithful VLA stubs (RT-2, JanusPro, Helix, GR00T-N1) — all 4 are now committed on this branch. * audit(2026-05) phase 3 tests: 25 architectural-correctness tests for new VLA helpers Covers the deterministic, weight-independent invariants of every helper class shipped in commits 43917c6 / 7e92676 / dfa161b / ce1f676: * RT2ActionTokenizerTests (8 tests): bin/token mapping, round-trip precision, out-of-range clamping, greedy logit selection in the action-bin window, per-dimension asymmetric range support, horizon encoding shape, malformed- token fallback to midpoint. * JanusVQCodebookTests (7 tests): lookup shape, quantize round-trip on codebook's own embeddings (nearest-neighbour identity), out-of-range token id clamping, grid lookup shape, codebook hot-swap, hot-swap shape validation, constructor input validation. * HelixDualSystemRunnerTests (5 tests): S2 fires on tick 0, S2 stays cached for next System2TicksValid-1 ticks, S2 re-fires after expiry, Reset clears cache + tick counter, Rollout respects S1:S2 ratio across N steps. * GR00TFlowMatchingActionHeadTests (5 tests): output dim matches actionDim, velocity callback invoked exactly NumIntegrationSteps times per Generate, GenerateHorizon shape = action_dim × horizon, integration count compounds correctly across horizon steps, seeded RNG produces deterministic output. All 25 tests pass against the current implementation. Together with the build- clean verification on both TFMs, this is the architectural-correctness floor — the contract these helpers expose is unit-tested independently of any model weights, so any later refactor that breaks the API surface will fail fast. * audit(2026-05) phase 2b: extract elasticsearch metapackage (finding #14 partial) Extracts the Elasticsearch document-store backend into its own AiDotNet.Storage.Elasticsearch metapackage, removing Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch as a transitive dep of the core AiDotNet NuGet: * New project src/AiDotNet.Storage.Elasticsearch/AiDotNet.Storage.Elasticsearch.csproj targeting net10.0;net471 (matches core TFM set). Direct PackageReference on Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch (centralized via Directory.Packages.props), ProjectReference on core AiDotNet. * Moved src/RetrievalAugmentedGeneration/DocumentStores/ElasticsearchDocumentStore.cs into the new project (namespace AiDotNet.RetrievalAugmentedGeneration.DocumentStores preserved so consumers' code requires no change beyond adding a package reference). * Removed Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch PackageReference from src/AiDotNet.csproj. * Added <Compile Remove="AiDotNet.Storage.Elasticsearch\**\*.cs" /> guard so the core project's default SDK glob doesn't pick up the new subproject's files (mirrors the existing AiDotNet.Serving / AiDotNet.Dashboard / AiDotNet.Playground exclusions). * New project carries a mirrored GlobalUsings.cs since auto-generated AiDotNet.Tensors usings only apply to the core csproj. * Added new project to AiDotNet.sln via `dotnet sln add`. SEAL extraction discovered blocker, NOT extracted: InMemoryFederatedTrainer.cs:183 hard-codes `new SealHomomorphicEncryptionProvider<T>()` as the default provider when useHomomorphicEncryption=true. Moving SEAL out of core would create a circular project reference unless InMemoryFederatedTrainer is also refactored to take an IHomomorphicEncryptionProvider factory at construction time (or fail loudly when HE is enabled without a factory). That contract change is tracked as a Phase 2b sub-follow-up. Updated SEAL PackageReference comment in csproj to document the blocker honestly rather than ship a half-extraction. Verified: core net10.0 + net471 build clean. New AiDotNet.Storage.Elasticsearch project net10.0 + net471 build clean. * fix(NuGet.config): remove machine-specific local feeds (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit blocking/critical): the repo's NuGet.config shipped two absolute `C:\Users\cheat\...` sources that broke `dotnet restore` (NU1301: "The local source ... doesn't exist") on every non-Windows CI runner and on every developer machine other than the original author's. Per-developer local feeds belong in %appdata%/NuGet/NuGet.Config; repo-level config must stay portable. Keep only nuget.org and add an explanatory comment so the next person who wants a private feed adds it in the right place. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(security): retire placeholder PGP file + de-advertise encrypted email (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit blocking/critical): docs/security/pgp.txt shipped as a placeholder describing how to generate the key — not the key itself. SECURITY.md advertised this file as the encrypted-reporting endpoint, so any reporter following the documented flow downloaded instructions instead of a key and the advertised "encrypt your report" path was broken. Two coordinated changes: 1. Remove docs/security/pgp.txt entirely. The file's only content was key-generation instructions for the maintainer, which belong in an internal runbook (docs/internal/audit-2026-05-manual-steps.md already exists); they don't belong in /docs/security where they masquerade as the published key. 2. Update SECURITY.md to drop the broken "see docs/security/pgp.txt" reference. Email is documented as transport-layer-confidential only, with a forward-pointer to https://aidotnet.dev/security where the real PGP key will be published once generated. Reporters needing end-to-end encryption are correctly routed to the GitHub Security Advisories path above (which IS already encrypted). Generating the real PGP key (`gpg --full-generate-key`, ed25519, 2-year expiry, publish to keys.openpgp.org, mirror at aidotnet.dev/security) is a maintainer-side manual step tracked in docs/internal/audit-2026-05-manual-steps.md. Once it lands, SECURITY.md gets one more update to publish the fingerprint and re-enable the encrypted-email path. Until then, the docs no longer make a promise the repo can't keep. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(CHANGELOG): fix broken versioning-note link reference (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor): line 11 dropped the target after 'see', leaving 'see . Consumers' as broken markdown. Point at the authoritative source (.github/VERSIONING.md) for the post-0.205.0 Conventional Commits → SemVer bump rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(HelloWorld): MD040 + MD031 lint fixes (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor ×2): - MD040: add 'text' language identifier to the output code fence so markdownlint stops flagging it. - MD031: surround the fenced csharp block inside the numbered-list item with blank lines so it renders as a code block rather than inline text on lint-strict renderers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(regen-changelog): use REPO variable for release links (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor): the python block under the script hardcoded the release-link host as 'ooples/AiDotNet'. The shell side already respects GITHUB_REPOSITORY/REPO overrides for gh CLI invocation, but the generated CHANGELOG lines didn't — so any run with the env var overridden (forks, downstream mirrors, ci-on-clone testing) produced a CHANGELOG full of dead links pointing at ooples/AiDotNet/releases/tag/… instead of the actual repo. Pass $REPO into the python heredoc as a second positional arg and use it for the release-link format string. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(EnsembleTeacherModel): correct valid-modes list in exception (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor): the ArgumentOutOfRangeException message listed 'Mean, WeightedAverage, Median' but the switch above actually handles WeightedAverage, GeometricMean, Maximum, Median — 'Mean' is not a mode, GeometricMean and Maximum were missing. Reporters following the error message would try invalid values like 'Mean' instead of the actual GeometricMean / Maximum cases. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(OnlineTeacherModel): use real enum name EMA in valid-modes message (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor): the exception said 'ExponentialMovingAverage' but the actual OnlineUpdateMode enum member is 'EMA'. Callers troubleshooting an invalid value would type the fully-spelled name from the error and still get the same exception. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(pricing.astro): move federal-use note out of 3-col grid (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit minor): the federal-use paragraph was a fourth child of the 3-column pricing grid, so on md+ breakpoints it got squeezed into a phantom fourth column instead of rendering full-width beneath the cards. Move it OUT of the grid container so it lives as a sibling paragraph below; the existing max-w-3xl mx-auto + text-center continue to center it under the pricing cards. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(distributed): assert NotSupportedException (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit major): the previous commit converted PipelineParallelModel's ctor throw from NotImplementedException to NotSupportedException (audit finding #10 — Selective/Full recompute strategies are not-currently-supported configurations, not missing implementations). The matching test still asserted the old type and would fail; update it and document the rationale. External callers catching NotImplementedException on this constructor need to migrate to NotSupportedException. Documenting that in this test's comment + the original audit commit message rather than a separate release-notes entry — there's no public API consumer of RecomputeStrategy.Selective/Full pipeline checkpointing yet (the feature isn't shipped), so the migration window is empty. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(ClusterRepro): guard layer-count mismatch + surface missing layers (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit major): the per-layer comparison loop iterated up to network.Layers.Count, throwing IndexOutOfRangeException on line 58 when cloned.Layers.Count < network.Layers.Count. That's EXACTLY the failure mode this repro tool exists to diagnose, so it lost the per-layer diagnostics callers needed. - Iterate up to System.Math.Min(orig, cloned) so the loop never out-of-bounds the cloned side. - After the shared range, emit one log line per layer that's MISSING on either side so the output still shows which layers got dropped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(DiffusionPerfDiag): try/finally for deterministic cleanup on all exit paths (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit major): the early 'return 1' paths after each Phase B/C/D failure skipped deterministic cleanup for log (and plan, once Phase C had succeeded). Wrap the whole main body in a try/finally so: - log.Dispose() runs on every exit (flushes the .log file before the process exits — important for diagnostic perf-1305-compile- phases.log which is the entire point of the tool). - plan?.Dispose() runs once Phase C populated it, regardless of whether subsequent phases throw. - scope?.Dispose() runs after the Phase B trace block populates it, rather than the previous duplicated scope?.Dispose() calls in each catch arm. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(versioning): align VERSIONING.md + CONTRIBUTING.md + workflow trigger with new PATCH policy (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit major × 3): the audit-2026-05 finding #18 remediation correctly changed the bump-analyzer step in .github/workflows/automated-release.yml to map fix/perf/refactor/docs/etc. to PATCH instead of MINOR, but three sibling docs/triggers still encoded the OLD policy and contradicted the new code path: 1. .github/VERSIONING.md "MINOR Version Bump" section still listed fix/refactor/perf/docs alongside feat:, and the "Commit Types" table at the bottom said "fix → MINOR / test → None". Updated: - MINOR section now only lists feat: (semver.org §7 is explicit about this — only new features bump MINOR). - Commit-types table now maps fix/refactor/perf/docs/test/chore/ style/ci/build/revert all to PATCH. 2. .github/workflows/automated-release.yml trigger filter ignored '**.md' and 'docs/**', so docs-only commits never ran this workflow — making the docs:→PATCH rule at the analyzer step unreachable. Drop those path-ignores (kept only the genuine non-release files like ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.gitignore/.editorconfig) with an in-place comment explaining why so this doesn't drift back in. 3. CONTRIBUTING.md's "Valid Types and Version Impact" listed fix/docs/refactor/perf as MINOR and test/chore/ci/style as None. Updated to match VERSIONING.md and the workflow analyzer exactly. Added a paragraph pointing at VERSIONING.md as the authoritative source so future drift fails the next reviewer's "does this match VERSIONING.md?" check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(RT2): six review threads — learned embeddings, ONNX guards, exact shapes, internal helpers (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit): six unresolved threads on RT2.cs and RT2ActionTokenizer.cs addressed in one commit because they're tightly coupled (the embedding fix relies on a real EmbeddingLayer being allocated in the ctor, which forces the ActionTokenizer-visibility change to keep the public-facade boundary clean): 1. CRITICAL — synthetic sin/cos token embeddings replaced with a learned EmbeddingLayer<T> that the encoder + decoder + future weight-tied LM head share. Per Brohan et al. 2023 §3.1 RT-2's text tokens AND action-bin tokens flow through the SAME PaLI/PaLM-X embedding table; the previous deterministic sinusoidal projection wasn't model-faithful and decoupled the input representation from the vocab head's training signal. EmbedInstructionTokens + AppendActionTokenEmbedding now both go through _tokenEmbedding. 2. CRITICAL — GenerateFromImage(image, prompt) was silently DROPPING the prompt in ONNX mode (single-input ONNX export, vision-only). Now throws NotSupportedException when prompt is non-blank, with a message pointing at the native-mode constructor. PredictAction ALSO fails-fast in ONNX mode rather than running the native decode path with no ONNX weights backing it (which would silently produce actions from random native init while user thinks they're using the loaded checkpoint). 3. CRITICAL — Layers.Count / 2 encoder/decoder boundary heuristic for custom architectures replaced with a fail-fast NotSupportedException pointing at the right next step (add EncoderLayerCount to RT2Options). The heuristic happened to be correct for the default topology but would silently misroute layers on any asymmetric vision/decoder split. 4. MAJOR — Train() wraps TrainWithTape in try/finally so SetTrainingMode(false) runs even if Train throws. Otherwise a NaN-gradient or optimizer-state exception left the model stuck in training mode for the next Predict, silently flipping dropout / batchnorm semantics. 5. MAJOR — ActionTokenizer property changed from public to internal. It's a plumbing/helper type; the facade API (PredictAction, GenerateFromImage) is the supported surface. Tests / training- data-prep code can still access it via InternalsVisibleTo. 6. CRITICAL — RT2ActionTokenizer length guards tightened from "< ActionDim" to "== ActionDim" everywhere (EncodeAction ×2, EncodeHorizon, DecodeAction, DecodeHorizon). Silently truncating extra dimensions made misaligned callers (wrong ActionDim, flattened multi-step tensor) look valid. GreedyActionToken now demands logits.Length == VocabSize so a flattened multi-position decoder output gets rejected with a clear "slice to last position first" diagnostic instead of being silently argmax'd over the first position's bin window. New VocabSize property exposes the contract value (= TokenIdEndExclusive per paper §3.2). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(JanusPro): six review threads — internal VQCodebook, validation, fail-fast on placeholder weights (PR #1430) PR #1430 review (CodeRabbit): six unresolved threads across JanusPro.cs, JanusVQCodebook.cs, and JanusProOptions.cs addressed together because the VQCodebook fail-fast change cascades into JanusPro.GenerateImage's guard, and the option-validation closes the same prompt-comes-in-bad shape of bug. 1. MAJOR — JanusVQCodebook<T> made internal (was public sealed) + JanusPro.VQCodebook property made internal (was public). VQCodebook is generation plumbing; the facade API exposes GenerateImage. Tests reach through InternalsVisibleTo per the existing codebase convention. 2. CRITICAL — JanusVQCodebook constructor no longer seeds _codebook with deterministic spectral placeholder values. Allocates the storage but leaves it zero-initialised; new IsLoaded flag + new private EnsureLoaded() check throw a clear InvalidOperationException from Lookup / LookupGrid / Quantize until LoadCodebook has imported a real trained codebook. The previous placeholder produced structured-but-meaningless generation that violated paper fidelity; failing fast forces a real checkpoint to be loaded. 3. CRITICAL — JanusPro.GenerateImage now fails fast in native mode when the VQ codebook hasn't been loaded. Validation message points at the DeepSeek-AI/Janus-Pro checkpoint and the ONNX-mode alternative for users who can't load native weights. 4. MAJOR — JanusPro.GenerateImage now validates textDescription (rejects null/empty/whitespace at the API boundary) before tokenization, with a message explaining the contract. 5. CRITICAL — JanusPro._vqCodebook changed from readonly to non-readonly + rebuilt inside DeserializeNetworkSpecificData against the just-deserialized NumVisualTokens / CodebookEmbeddingDim. The previous readonly field kept the constructor-time dimensions after deserialization, producing a shape mismatch on every subsequent Lookup. (Codebook entries themselves still need a separate LoadCodebook call — they're not in the serialization stream — but at least the dimensions match the deserialized config.) 6. MAJOR — JanusProOptions.NumGenerationTokens / CodebookEmbeddingDim / CfgScale gain backing fields + setter validation. Zero or negative NumGenerationTokens / CodebookEmbeddingDim now throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException; CfgScale rejects NaN/Infinity/non- positive. Previously these flowed unchecked into downstream generation paths where they'd crash with much less actionable diagnostics. Pattern mirrors SpikingNeuralNetworkOptions / EchoStateNetwork options for consistency.

…#1915) * docs: aidn2 CI license key issuance + rotation guide Documents the remaining operational half of the offline-license CI setup (the csproj embedding + CI injection + AIDOTNET_LICENSE_KEY wiring already ship): generating the CI Ed25519 keypair, minting a scoped short-exp CI token, and installing the secret — including the trust-scope decision (keep the CI key out of published packages vs. shipping it) and prod/CI key rotation steps. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci: inject test-only aidn2 CI public key so tests exercise the real offline path Wires the CI test builds to embed a TEST-only public key set (prod + ci-2026a) via the new AIDOTNET_LICENSE_PUBLIC_KEY_JSON_TEST variable, so the offline aidn2 CI token in the AIDOTNET_LICENSE_KEY secret verifies on the real AsymmetricLicenseVerifier path (the ModuleInitializer keeps an offline-Active, model:save-capable key; else it falls back to the synthetic license, so this is non-breaking either way). The CI key is deliberately kept OUT of AIDOTNET_LICENSE_PUBLIC_KEY_JSON (used by release-please.yml), so published NuGets trust ONLY the production key — a leaked CI key can never mint a license accepted by a shipped package. - sonarcloud.yml: prefer the _TEST key set in the existing inject step. - heavy-timeout-nightly.yml: add the inject step before build (it had none). See tools/license-issuer/README.md for key generation + rotation.
