* feat(us-nf-009): implement lora for efficient fine-tuning

Implement Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for parameter-efficient fine-tuning:

Core Implementation:
- LoRALayer: Low-rank decomposition with A and B matrices
  - Rank parameter controls compression (typically 1-64)
  - Alpha scaling factor (defaults to rank)
  - Forward pass: output = input * A * B * (alpha/rank)
  - Proper gradient computation for backpropagation
  - Xavier/Glorot initialization for A, zero init for B
  - Merge functionality to combine weights

- LoRAAdapter: Wraps existing layers with LoRA
  - Frozen base layer support (for efficiency)
  - Combines base + LoRA outputs (parallel adaptation)
  - Merge to single layer for deployment
  - Parameter-efficient: 98%+ reduction typical

Features:
- Compatible with DenseLayer and similar 1D layers
- Supports custom activation functions
- Full backpropagation support
- Serialization/deserialization ready
- State reset for sequential processing

Testing:
- 36 comprehensive unit tests covering:
  - Construction validation
  - Forward/backward passes
  - Parameter management
  - Gradient flow
  - Merging functionality
  - Edge cases and error handling

Technical Details:
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 compatible
- No use of required keyword or .NET 6+ features
- Proper null handling
- Type-safe generic implementation

* refactor(us-nf-009): remove redundant conditional in loraadapter backward

Simplify LoRAAdapter.Backward by removing redundant if-else where both
branches executed identical code. The distinction between frozen and
unfrozen base layers is properly handled in UpdateParameters (line 192),
not in gradient computation.

Addresses CodeRabbit feedback.

* feat: add xloraadapter with mixture of lora experts

Implement X-LoRA (Mixture of LoRA Experts) adapter that uses multiple
LoRA experts with learned routing:
- Multiple LoRA adapters (experts) applied to the same layer

* feat: add lora variant selection to defaultloraconfiguration

Enable users to choose from 32 lora variants (qlora, dora, adalora, vera, etc.)
with clean, simple implementation.

Changes:
- Store adapter Type instead of instance (_adapterType)
- Initialize to typeof(StandardLoRAAdapter<T>) if null (no null checks needed)
- Simplified CreateAdapter to single line with Activator.CreateInstance
- Fixed garbage string-based convolutional layer checking
- Use proper type checks for all convolutional layer types

Example usage:
// Use QLoRA variant
var qloraTemplate = new QLoRAAdapter<double>(null, 8, 8, true);
var config = new DefaultLoRAConfiguration<double>(
    rank: 8,
    alpha: 8,
    loraAdapter: qloraTemplate);

Clean implementation: stores type, always has default value, no null checks.

Fixed critical documentation error in LoHaAdapter class-level comments.

Previous incorrect example for 100x100 weight matrix with rank=8:

- Actual: 2 × 8 × 100 × 100 = 160,000 parameters

LoHa uses 2 full-sized matrices (A and B) per rank, each of size (inputSize × outputSize).
This makes LoHa much more parameter-intensive than standard LoRA, not similar as claimed.

* fix: use correct signed quantization range in qalora

Fixed QALoRAAdapter to use the full signed integer range for quantization.

Previous incorrect range for n-bit signed quantization:
- min = -(2^(n-1) - 1), max = 2^(n-1) - 1
- Example 4-bit: -7 to 7 (loses one negative value)
- Example 8-bit: -127 to 127 (loses -128)

Correct signed range:
- min = -2^(n-1), max = 2^(n-1) - 1
- Example 4-bit: -8 to 7 (full range)
- Example 8-bit: -128 to 127 (full range)

This provides better quantization precision by utilizing the full representable range.

* fix: include adapter chain in chainlora parameter count

Fixed ChainLoRAAdapter ParameterCount to include all adapters in the chain.

Previous incorrect fallback path:
- Only counted base layer + _loraLayer
- Ignored _adapterChain entirely
- Impact: Wrong parameter count breaks serialization and optimization

Correct implementation:
- Counts base layer (if not frozen)
- Iterates through _adapterChain and counts unmerged adapters
- Matches the logic in UpdateParameterSizes method

Now ParameterCount correctly reflects all trainable parameters in the adapter chain.

* fix: use actual group size for longlora shifted attention indexing

Fixed LongLoRAAdapter ShiftGroup to handle partial last groups correctly.

Previous bug:
- Used nominal groupSize in modulo calculation
- When last group is shorter (sequence not divisible by group size),
  shift calculation goes beyond group bounds
- Example: sequence=100, groupSize=32, last group is 4 elements
  but shift used % 32 causing indices 4-31 to wrap incorrectly

Correct implementation:
- Calculate actualGroupSize = min(groupSize, sequenceLength - groupStart)
- Use actualGroupSize in modulo for shifted index calculation
- Ensures indices stay within actual group bounds

Affected cases:
- 2D tensors [batch, sequence]: line 509-511
- 3D tensors [batch, sequence, features]: line 545-547

* fix: remove unnecessary null checks in dvoraadapter parametercount

Removed defensive null checks for _magnitude, _scalingVectorD, and
_scalingVectorB in ParameterCount property. These vectors are always
initialized in the constructor, so null checks are unnecessary and
could hide bugs. If they're null, a NullReferenceException will
surface the programming error immediately.

This fixes potential inconsistencies where ParameterCount could return
different values at different times if fields were nulled.

* fix: preserve activation function in dvoraadapter merge

Changed MergeToOriginalLayer to use Clone() method of base layer instead
of creating new layer with null activation. The Clone() method preserves
the activation function, ensuring the merged layer has the same behavior
as the original adapted layer.

Before: Created new DenseLayer with null activation, losing base layer's
activation function.

After: Clones base layer (which preserves activation) and updates its
parameters with merged DVoRA weights.

This ensures deployment models have correct activation functions without
requiring users to manually reapply them.

* feat(us-nf-009): implement lora for efficient fine-tuning

Implement Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for parameter-efficient fine-tuning:

Core Implementation:
- LoRALayer: Low-rank decomposition with A and B matrices
  - Rank parameter controls compression (typically 1-64)
  - Alpha scaling factor (defaults to rank)
  - Forward pass: output = input * A * B * (alpha/rank)
  - Proper gradient computation for backpropagation
  - Xavier/Glorot initialization for A, zero init for B
  - Merge functionality to combine weights

- LoRAAdapter: Wraps existing layers with LoRA
  - Frozen base layer support (for efficiency)
  - Combines base + LoRA outputs (parallel adaptation)
  - Merge to single layer for deployment
  - Parameter-efficient: 98%+ reduction typical

Features:
- Compatible with DenseLayer and similar 1D layers
- Supports custom activation functions
- Full backpropagation support
- Serialization/deserialization ready
- State reset for sequential processing

Testing:
- 36 comprehensive unit tests covering:
  - Construction validation
  - Forward/backward passes
  - Parameter management
  - Gradient flow
  - Merging functionality
  - Edge cases and error handling

Technical Details:
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 compatible
- No use of required keyword or .NET 6+ features
- Proper null handling
- Type-safe generic implementation

* fix: preserve activation function in moraadapter merge

Changed MergeToOriginalLayer to use Clone() method of base layer instead
of creating new layer with null activation. The Clone() method preserves
the activation function, ensuring the merged layer behaves identically to
the original adapted layer.

This fix uses the same pattern as DVoRAAdapter, cloning the base layer
(DenseLayer or FullyConnectedLayer) to preserve all settings including
activation function, then updating its parameters with the merged MoRA
weights.

* feat: Implement Part 1 of Cross-Validation Integration with Optimizer Support (#333)

This commit implements the core cross-validation integration changes as specified
in issue #333, enabling cross-validation to work seamlessly with the optimizer
infrastructure instead of calling model.Train() directly.

## Changes Made

### 1. Interface Updates
- **ICrossValidator**: Added `IOptimizer` parameter to `Validate()` method signature
  to enable consistent optimizer usage across all folds

### 2. Base Class Updates
- **CrossValidatorBase**:
  - Updated `Validate()` abstract method signature to accept optimizer parameter
  - Modified `PerformCrossValidation()` to:
    - Accept optimizer parameter
    - Create deep copy of model for each fold (prevents state leakage)
    - Use `optimizer.Optimize()` instead of `model.Train()`
    - Pass trained fold model to FoldResult for ensemble methods

### 3. Result Class Enhancements
- **FoldResult**:
  - Added `Model` property to store trained model instance for each fold
  - Updated constructor to accept optional model parameter
- **PredictionModelResult**:
  - Added public `CrossValidationResult` property with comprehensive documentation
  - Enables access to fold-by-fold performance metrics and aggregated statistics

### 4. Concrete Validator Updates
Updated all 8 cross-validator implementations to accept and pass optimizer parameter:
  - KFoldCrossValidator
  - StandardCrossValidator
  - LeaveOneOutCrossValidator
  - StratifiedKFoldCrossValidator
  - TimeSeriesCrossValidator
  - GroupKFoldCrossValidator
  - NestedCrossValidator (also updated to use optimizer for inner/outer loops)
  - MonteCarloValidator

### 5. Builder Pattern Integration
- **PredictionModelBuilder**:
  - Added private `_crossValidator` field
  - Implemented `ConfigureCrossValidator()` method for fluent API configuration

## Benefits
- Cross-validation now supports advanced optimizers (genetic algorithms, Bayesian optimization, etc.)
- Eliminates model state leakage between folds via deep copying
- Enables ensemble methods by providing access to fold models
- Maintains backward compatibility (CV is optional via builder)
- Consistent training procedure across all folds

## Story Points Completed
This commit addresses 42 story points from Part 1 of issue #333.

## Related Issue
Resolves part 1 of #333

* feat: Implement Part 2 Foundation - Clustering Metrics Infrastructure (#333)

This commit lays the foundation for clustering metrics integration into the
cross-validation framework as specified in issue #333.

## Changes Made

### 1. MetricType Enum Enhancement
- **Added AdjustedRandIndex** to MetricType enum
  - Comprehensive documentation explaining the metric's purpose and interpretation
  - Positioned logically after SilhouetteScore with other clustering metrics
  - Supports range from -1 to 1, where 1 = perfect match, 0 = random, negative = worse than random
  - Useful for comparing clustering results to ground truth labels

### 2. ClusteringMetrics Class Creation
- **New class**: `ClusteringMetrics<T>` in `/src/Models/Results/`
- **Properties**:
  - `SilhouetteScore`: Measures cluster cohesion and separation (-1 to 1, higher is better)
  - `CalinskiHarabaszIndex`: Measures cluster definition (higher is better, no fixed maximum)
  - `DaviesBouldinIndex`: Measures cluster similarity (lower is better, 0 is perfect)
  - `AdjustedRandIndex`: Compares clustering to ground truth (-1 to 1, higher is better)
- **Features**:
  - All properties are nullable (T?) to handle cases where metrics cannot be calculated
  - Comprehensive XML documentation with beginner-friendly explanations
  - Default constructor and parameterized constructor for flexible initialization
  - Ready for integration into FoldResult and CrossValidationResult

## Remaining Work (Part 2)
The following tasks remain to complete Part 2 (approx. 27 story points):
1. Implement `CalculateAdjustedRandIndex()` method in StatisticsHelper
2. Add `ClusteringMetrics` property to FoldResult class
3. Add aggregated clustering statistics to CrossValidationResult class
4. Modify CrossValidatorBase to auto-calculate clustering metrics when predictions are categorical
5. Update CrossValidationResult to aggregate clustering metrics across folds

  - CalinskiHarabaszIndexStats (line 70)
  - DaviesBouldinIndexStats (line 83)
  - AdjustedRandIndexStats (line 96)
- **Implemented aggregation logic in constructor** (lines 144-199)
  - Automatically aggregates clustering metrics from all folds
  - Calculates BasicStats (mean, std dev, min, max) for each metric
  - Gracefully handles folds without clustering metrics
  - Only creates statistics when metrics are available

## Architecture & Design Decisions

### Manual Clustering Metrics Calculation
The implementation requires **manual** calculation and passing of clustering metrics
to FoldResult for the following reasons:

1. **Data Matrix Requirement**: Clustering metrics (Silhouette Score, Calinski-Harabasz,
   Davies-Bouldin) require the original data matrix (X) to calculate distances between
   points and cluster centroids. FoldResult currently only stores prediction vectors,
   not the full data matrix.

2. **Memory Efficiency**: Storing the full data matrix in each FoldResult would
   significantly increase memory usage, especially for large datasets or many folds.

3. **Flexibility**: Manual calculation allows users to:
   - Choose which clustering metrics to calculate
   - Use custom implementations of clustering metrics
   - Calculate metrics only when needed (e.g., for clustering models)

### Usage Pattern

When cross-validating clustering models, users should:

```csharp
// In custom CrossValidator or after fold training:
var clusteringMetrics = new ClusteringMetrics<double>
{
    SilhouetteScore = StatisticsHelper<double>.CalculateSilhouetteScore(XValidation, predictions),
    CalinskiHarabaszIndex = StatisticsHelper<double>.CalculateCalinskiHarabaszIndex(XValidation, predictions),
    DaviesBouldinIndex = StatisticsHelper<double>.CalculateDaviesBouldinIndex(XValidation, predictions),
    AdjustedRandIndex = groundTruthLabels != null
        ? StatisticsHelper<double>.CalculateAdjustedRandIndex(groundTruthLabels, predictions)
        : null
};

var foldResult = new FoldResult<double>(
    foldIndex, trainActual, trainPredicted, valActual, valPredicted,
    featureImportance, trainingTime, evaluationTime, featureCount, model,
    clusteringMetrics  // Pass clustering metrics here
);
```

## Benefits

- **Complete clustering evaluation support** for cross-validation
- **Automatic aggregation** of clustering metrics across folds
- **Consistent API** with existing cross-validation infrastructure
- **Memory efficient** by not storing full data matrices
- **Flexible** allowing custom metric calculations
- **Well-documented** with beginner-friendly explanations

* fix: Correct cross-validation architecture issues (#333)

This commit addresses critical architectural issues identified after code review:

## Issues Fixed

### 1. Removed Invalid PredictionModelBuilder Integration
**Problem**: Cross-validation is NOT part of the builder pattern - it's an evaluation operation
performed via IModelEvaluator, not during model building.

**Fixed**:
- Removed `_crossValidator` private field from PredictionModelBuilder (src/PredictionModelBuilder.cs:49)
- Removed `ConfigureCrossValidator()` method from PredictionModelBuilder (lines 167-183)
- This was incorrectly added based on misunderstanding the architecture

**Correct Architecture**:
```csharp
// Build a model
var result = builder.Build(X, y);

// Separately evaluate with cross-validation
var evaluator = new DefaultModelEvaluator<double, Matrix<double>, Vector<double>>();
var cvResults = evaluator.PerformCrossValidation(model, X, y, optimizer, crossValidator);

// Optionally attach CV results to model result for storage
result.CrossValidationResult = cvResults;
```

### 2. Made ICrossValidator Properly Generic
**Problem**: ICrossValidator was hardcoded to Matrix<T>/Vector<T> instead of using TInput/TOutput like the
rest of the codebase, preventing use with custom data types.

**Fixed**:
- Changed `ICrossValidator<T>` to `ICrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>` (src/Interfaces/ICrossValidator.cs:27)
- Updated Validate() signature to use TInput/TOutput instead of Matrix<T>/Vector<T> (lines 60-64)
- CrossValidatorBase now implements `ICrossValidator<T, Matrix<T>, Vector<T>>` (src/CrossValidators/CrossValidatorBase.cs:28)
- All concrete validators (KFold, Stratified, etc.) inherit this and work with Matrix/Vector as before

**Benefits**:
- Interface is now extensible for custom data types
- Current implementations remain unchanged (all use Matrix/Vector)
- Future validators can work with other data structures

### 3. Added PerformCrossValidation to IModelEvaluator Interface
**Problem**: PerformCrossValidation() existed only in DefaultModelEvaluator, not in the interface,
preventing polymorphic use and violating interface segregation.

**Fixed**:
- Added PerformCrossValidation() to IModelEvaluator interface (src/Interfaces/IModelEvaluator.cs:112-117)
- Method signature uses generic TInput/TOutput for flexibility
- DefaultModelEvaluator already implements this - just aligned with interface

### 4. Improved DefaultModelEvaluator.PerformCrossValidation
**Updated signature** (src/Evaluation/DefaultModelEvaluator.cs:237-242):
- Changed from hardcoded Matrix<T>/Vector<T> to generic TInput/TOutput
- Added runtime type checking to provide default StandardCrossValidator for Matrix/Vector types
- Throws helpful exception if crossValidator not provided for custom types

```csharp
public CrossValidationResult<T> PerformCrossValidation(
    IFullModel<T, TInput, TOutput> model,
    TInput X,
    TOutput y,
    IOptimizer<T, TInput, TOutput> optimizer,
    ICrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>? crossValidator = null)
```

### 5. Kept CrossValidationResult Property in PredictionModelResult
**Decision**: After analysis, CrossValidationResult property is CORRECT and should remain.

**Rationale**:
- Cross-validation is performed separately via IModelEvaluator.PerformCrossValidation()
- The property serves as storage to keep CV results alongside the trained model
- Useful pattern: build model → evaluate with CV → attach results for reference
- Property is `public` with `internal set` - correct access pattern

## Architecture Summary

**Correct Flow**:
1. Build model via PredictionModelBuilder → PredictionModelResult
2. Evaluate model via IModelEvaluator.PerformCrossValidation() → CrossValidationResult
3. Optionally store CV results in PredictionModelResult.CrossValidationResult

**Key Separation**:
- **Building** (PredictionModelBuilder): Creates and trains models
- **Evaluation** (IModelEvaluator): Assesses model performance via various methods
- **Cross-validation**: An evaluation operation, NOT a building operation

Addresses architectural corrections for #333

* feat: Make cross-validation fully generic with TInput/TOutput support (#333)

This commit makes the cross-validation infrastructure fully generic to work
with any input/output types (Matrix/Vector, Tensor, custom types), not just
hardcoded Matrix<T>/Vector<T> types.

## Changes Made

### Core Infrastructure
- **CrossValidatorBase**: Made fully generic with TInput/TOutput type parameters
  - Updated PerformCrossValidation to use InputHelper.GetBatch for generic data subsetting
  - Uses ConversionsHelper to convert predictions to Vector<T> for metrics calculation
  - Uses ModelHelper to create empty test data generically

- **FoldResult**: Added TInput/TOutput generic type parameters
  - Model property now uses IFullModel<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Constructor accepts generic model type

- **CrossValidationResult**: Added TInput/TOutput generic type parameters
  - FoldResults list now uses FoldResult<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Constructor accepts generic fold results

### Interfaces
- **ICrossValidator**: Made fully generic with TInput/TOutput
  - Validate method now accepts and returns generic types
  - Updated documentation

- **IModelEvaluator**: Updated PerformCrossValidation signature
  - Returns CrossValidationResult<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Accepts ICrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>

### Implementations
- **DefaultModelEvaluator**: Updated PerformCrossValidation implementation
  - Returns generic CrossValidationResult<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Provides default StandardCrossValidator for Matrix/Vector types

- **StandardCrossValidator**: Made fully generic
  - Now StandardCrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Uses InputHelper.GetBatchSize for generic data operations
  - CreateFolds method works with any TInput/TOutput type

- **KFoldCrossValidator**: Made fully generic
  - Now KFoldCrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Uses InputHelper.GetBatchSize for fold creation

- **LeaveOneOutCrossValidator**: Made fully generic
  - Now LeaveOneOutCrossValidator<T, TInput, TOutput>
  - Uses InputHelper.GetBatchSize for iteration

- **GroupKFoldCrossValidator**: Partially updated (inherits from generic base)

## Remaining Work
- 5 cross-validators still need full generic implementation:
  - MonteCarloValidator
  - NestedCrossValidator
  - StratifiedKFoldCrossValidator (has additional TMetadata parameter)
  - TimeSeriesCrossValidator
  - GroupKFoldCrossValidator (needs CreateFolds update)

- Integration issue: Cross-validation results are not automatically attached
  to PredictionModelResult.CrossValidationResult property during Build()

Part of #333

* feat: Complete Part 2 - Automated Cross-Validation Integration (#333)

This commit completes Part 2 of issue #333 by implementing automated cross-validation
integration following industry standard patterns (H2O, caret).

## Core Integration Changes

### 1. PredictionModelBuilder Integration
- Added `ConfigureModelEvaluator()` and `ConfigureCrossValidation()` methods to IPredictionModelBuilder
- Implemented configuration methods in PredictionModelBuilder with backing fields
- Modified Build() to perform CV on XTrain/yTrain BEFORE final model training
- CV executes automatically when both evaluator and cross-validator are configured
- Results passed through constructor for immutability (no post-construction setting)

### 2. PredictionModelResult Updates
- Fixed CrossValidationResult type signature: `CrossValidationResult<T>?` → `CrossValidationResult<T, TInput, TOutput>?`
- Added CrossValidationResult parameter to main constructor
- CV results now properly stored with model for reference

### 3. Remaining Cross-Validators Made Generic
Updated 5 cross-validators to be fully generic with TInput/TOutput:
- **GroupKFoldCrossValidator**: Now supports generic input/output types for grouped data
- **MonteCarloValidator**: Random splits work with any data format
- **NestedCrossValidator**: Two-level CV with generic types and updated helper usage
- **StratifiedKFoldCrossValidator**: Maintains class balance with generic data
- **TimeSeriesCrossValidator**: Temporal order preserved with generic types

All validators now:
- Use `InputHelper.GetBatchSize()` instead of hardcoded `X.Rows`
- Use `InputHelper.GetBatch()` for data subsetting
- Use `ConversionsHelper.ConvertToVector()` for metrics
- Use `ModelHelper.CreateDefaultModelData()` for empty data

## Industry Standard Compliance

✅ **Optional Configuration**: CV only runs if both components configured
✅ **Automatic Execution**: Runs during Build() without extra user steps
✅ **No Data Leakage**: Uses only XTrain/yTrain (after split)
✅ **Correct Timing**: CV before final training (evaluates strategy, not final model)
✅ **Immutable Design**: Results passed through constructor
✅ **Two Concerns Separated**: ModelEvaluator and CrossValidator (not mixed)

This matches the pattern used by H2O (nfolds parameter) and caret (trainControl).

## Technical Details

**Workflow**: Preprocess → Split → **[CV on XTrain/yTrain]** → Optimize Final Model → Return with CV Results

**Files Modified**:
- src/Interfaces/IPredictionModelBuilder.cs
- src/PredictionModelBuilder.cs
- src/Models/Results/PredictionModelResult.cs
- src/CrossValidators/GroupKFoldCrossValidator.cs
- src/CrossValidators/MonteCarloValidator.cs
- src/CrossValidators/NestedCrossValidator.cs
- src/CrossValidators/StratifiedKFoldCrossValidator.cs
- src/CrossValidators/TimeSeriesCrossValidator.cs

Resolves #333 (Part 2)

* fix: Correct FoldResult type signature and restore proper encoding (#333)

Fixed two issues in CrossValidationResult.cs:

1. **Type Signature Fix**: Updated AggregateFeatureImportance method parameter
   from `List<FoldResult<T>>` to `List<FoldResult<T, TInput, TOutput>>`
   to match the generic architecture established in previous commits.

2. **Encoding Fix**: Restored proper Unicode characters that were corrupted:
   - R� → R² (R-squared symbol)
   - � → ± (plus-minus symbol)

   Affected locations:
   - Line 30: R² in documentation
   - Lines 308-339: ± symbols in GenerateReport() method

These mojibake characters were previously fixed in commit 08592ab but were
reintroduced during recent edits. All Unicode symbols now display correctly
in IntelliSense and generated reports.

* fix: Add optimizer state reset to prevent contamination across training runs (#333)

This commit addresses a critical optimizer state contamination issue where
OptimizerBase maintains mutable state (FitnessList, IterationHistoryList,
ModelCache, adaptive parameters) that persisted across multiple Optimize()
calls, causing:
- Non-reproducible results
- Memory leaks from unbounded list growth
- Incorrect learning dynamics (each fold using different effective learning rates)
- Cache poisoning (wrong cached solutions retrieved)
- Contaminated final model training

Changes:
1. Added Reset() method to IOptimizer interface with comprehensive documentation
2. Call optimizer.Reset() before each fold in CrossValidatorBase
3. Call optimizer.Reset() after CV and before final model training in PredictionModelBuilder

This ensures each optimization run (CV folds and final training) starts with
clean state, matching industry standards (TensorFlow reset_states(), PyTorch zero_grad()).

* fix: remove duplicate reset method from igradientbasedoptimizer

Resolves CS0108 compile error:
- IGradientBasedOptimizer inherits from IOptimizer which now defines Reset()
- Removed duplicate Reset() method declaration from IGradientBasedOptimizer
- The method is inherited from parent interface, no need to redeclare it

This prevents the "hides inherited member" warning and follows proper interface inheritance.

* fix: add explicit error handling for optimization failures in cross-validation

Resolves review comments on CrossValidatorBase.cs:170 and NestedCrossValidator.cs:154:
- Throw InvalidOperationException when optimizationResult.BestSolution is null
- Include fold index in error message for easier debugging
- Prevents evaluation of untrained models which would produce misleading metrics
- Implements "fail fast" approach recommended in code review

This ensures cross-validation results accurately reflect model performance rather
than reporting metrics from uninitialized model state.

Changes:
- CrossValidatorBase: Replace silent null check with explicit exception throw
- NestedCrossValidator: Add similar error handling with outer fold index tracking

* fix: prevent data leakage in nested cross-validation with duplicate target values

Fix critical bug where GetValidationIndices used value-based matching
(validationSet.Contains(yVector[i])) which fails when target values
contain duplicates, causing training samples to leak into validation set.

Changes:
- Add TrainingIndices and ValidationIndices properties to FoldResult
- Update CrossValidatorBase to populate fold indices in FoldResult
- Refactor NestedCrossValidator to use indices from FoldResult directly
- Remove buggy GetValidationIndices and GetTrainingIndices methods

This ensures correct sample selection in nested cross-validation even
when target values have duplicates, preventing misleading metrics.

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.

…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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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()).

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* audit(2026-05): codeowners subsystem split + contributing trunk-based + patch bump impl + versioning policy update

closes audit findings:
  #16 (codeowners single-owner) — phase 0 portion. all rules still

       (license/governance, ci/release, telemetry/license-guard,

for enum dispatch where the switch exhaustively lists all valid enum
values; the right exception type is argumentoutofrangeexception (the
caller passed an enum value that's not a valid input), not
notimplementedexception (an unimplemented feature). the remaining 6 are
either non-supported-on-base-class methods (notsupportedexception) or
not-currently-supported-feature messages.

12 switch-default fallbacks converted to argumentoutofrangeexception

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.
