In BuildSupervisedInternalAsync(), the preprocessing pipeline (e.g., StandardScaler) was fitted on the ENTIRE dataset before the train/test split. This leaked test/validation statistics (mean, std dev) into the training pipeline, causing artificially inflated metrics. The fix restructures the method: 1. Split data into train/val/test FIRST using DataSplitter.Split() 2. FitTransform preprocessing pipeline on training data ONLY 3. Transform (not FitTransform) validation and test data The federated learning path is unchanged — it correctly uses all data as training data, so FitTransform on everything remains correct. Fixes #929 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…istry sync - Scope #pragma warning disable CS8600/CS8604 with matching restore - Restore PreprocessingRegistry.Current in all ConfigurePreprocessing overloads - Update PreprocessingRegistry docs to reflect thread-safety and usage pattern - Rewrite tests to actually detect leakage: verify scaler produces different output than all-data scaler, verify transform shape and non-identity - Add end-to-end predict test with preprocessing - Add test verifying no-preprocessing path still works with predict Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
FitResample (SMOTE, outlier removal, augmentation) was applied to the full dataset before splitting, allowing synthetic samples derived from test/validation data to leak into training. Now FitResample runs after the split on training data only in both standard and AutoML paths. Also fixed AutoML preprocessing to FitTransform on training only and Transform on validation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updated PreprocessingRegistry docs to clearly warn about concurrent build safety issues. Applied same time-series non-shuffle policy to the final supervised training split that AutoML already uses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When _dataPreparationPipeline runs (resampling/outlier removal) it modifies XTrain/yTrain. The else branch (no preprocessing) was incorrectly using preparedX/preparedY (pre-preparation) instead of XTrain/yTrain, losing training-only preparation results for downstream logic.

Refactor tests that called result.Predict() (which fails due to the feature selection bug fixed in PR #928) to verify preprocessing pipeline state directly via PreprocessingInfo.TransformFeatures() instead. Tests now verify the data leakage fix independently. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: add serialization support to preprocessing pipeline fitted state - Add [JsonProperty] attributes to private fields across all preprocessing transformers (StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, RobustScaler, MaxAbsScaler, DecimalScaler, GlobalContrastScaler, LogScaler, LogMeanVarianceScaler, LpNormScaler, Normalizer, SimpleImputer) so Newtonsoft.Json serializes fitted state (means, std devs, min/max, etc.) - Add [JsonProperty] to TransformerBase.IsFitted and ColumnIndices for proper deserialization of base class state - Add [JsonConstructor] to MinMaxScaler and RobustScaler to resolve ambiguous constructor selection during deserialization - Replace ValueTuple in PreprocessingPipeline._steps with a new PipelineStep<T, TInput> class that serializes reliably with Newtonsoft.Json (ValueTuples lose field names during serialization) - Add [JsonProperty(TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Auto)] to PreprocessingInfo.Pipeline and TargetPipeline for polymorphic deserialization of pipeline step transformers - Add 16 integration tests verifying serialization round-trips for all modified transformers, pipelines, and inverse transforms Fixes #930 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: resolve 13 pr review comments - serialization safety, tests, perf - Remove null-forgiving operator from PipelineStep (use JsonConstructor) - Make PipelineStep.Transformer setter private (immutable after construction) - Fix ColumnIndices deserialization (add private setter for Json.NET) - Fix Steps property to return cached read-only list (no alloc per call) - Add explicit range assertions to MinMaxScaler custom range test - Add transform equivalence check to SimpleImputer test - Add LpNormScaler serialization round-trip test - Add Normalizer serialization round-trip test - Add LogMeanVarianceScaler serialization round-trip test - TypeNameHandling.Auto is safe: SafeSerializationBinder restricts types Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: make pipelinestep immutable, validate constructor, add missing tests - Made PipelineStep.Name private set to prevent mutation after construction - PipelineStep constructor now validates name (non-whitespace) and transformer (non-null), failing fast on invalid serialized steps - Added ColumnIndices round-trip test proving non-default indices survive serialization and untouched columns remain unchanged - Added TargetPipeline round-trip tests proving both null and non-null target pipelines survive serialization with transform equivalence Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: prevent JSON duplicate serialization and remove per-member TypeNameHandling Add [JsonIgnore] to public getter-only properties that mirror [JsonProperty] backing fields in all transformers (StandardScaler, RobustScaler, SimpleImputer, DecimalScaler, GlobalContrastScaler, MinMaxScaler, Normalizer, MaxAbsScaler, LogScaler) to prevent Newtonsoft emitting both field and property. Remove per-member TypeNameHandling.Auto from PipelineStep.Transformer and _finalTransformer — rely on serializer-level settings with SafeSerializationBinder instead, preventing unsafe TypeNameHandling bypass. Add Deconstruct method to PipelineStep for backward-compatible tuple destructuring.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (6)
src/Diffusion/Schedulers/UniPCScheduler.cs:1
_sigmaTsis treated as nullable and this line still indexes the field directly (unlike the other accesses that use the non-nullsigmaTslocal). This can reintroduce nullable warnings (and can fail builds if warnings are errors). Use the already-validated localsigmaTs[stepIndex]here.
src/Classification/SemiSupervised/LabelSpreading.cs:1- This method introduces
labelDistributions = _labelDistributions ?? throw ..., but still writes through_labelDistributions[...]. That can reintroduce nullable warnings and defeats the purpose of the local non-null reference. Assign throughlabelDistributions[i, c]instead.
src/Data/Loaders/InputOutputDataLoaderBase.cs:1 - In
Shuffle(), you validateIndicesinto the non-null localindices, but the swap still usesIndices[...]. IfIndicesis nullable, this can still trigger nullable warnings / warning-as-error builds. Swap using(indices[i], indices[j]) = (indices[j], indices[i]);.
src/Data/Loaders/InputOutputDataLoaderBase.cs:1 - In
Unshuffle(), you validateIndicesintoindicesbut still write viaIndices[i]. For consistency and to avoid nullable warnings / warning-as-error failures, write throughindices[i] = i;.
src/Classification/Online/AdaptiveRandomForestClassifier.cs:1 - This changes behavior from a hard failure (previously a null dereference) to silently skipping ensemble members. That can produce incorrect/unstable predictions (e.g.,
votesstaying all-zero) while masking a corrupted/uninitialized model state. Prefer throwing anInvalidOperationException(or ensuring members with null state are removed/never added) rather than continuing.
src/Prototypes/SimpleLinearRegression.cs:1 - The else-branch uses
_weights.Lengtheven thoughwtsis the validated non-null reference. For consistency (and to avoid any future refactor accidentally reintroducing nullability issues), usewts.Lengthin the formatted string.

Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed. In `@src/Prototypes/SimpleLinearRegression.cs` around lines 294 - 300, ToString() still uses the null-forgiving `_bias!`; make it consistent with the `_weights` check by eagerly validating `_bias` and using the checked value. Add a local like `var bias = _bias ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("Bias has not been initialized.");` (or similar) and replace `_numOps.ToDouble(_bias!)` with `_numOps.ToDouble(bias)` inside SimpleLinearRegression<T>.ToString() so no `!` remains and partially-initialized instances throw predictably.src/Classification/Meta/StackingClassifier.cs (1)
251-259:⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 CriticalRemap probability columns before writing meta-features.
With
CrossValidationFolds > 1, a fold estimator can easily miss a rare class. The probability paths here write rawPredictProbabilities(...)columns straight into globalNumClassesslots, so a missing or reordered class will either throw or train the meta-estimator on mislabeled features. Derive class labels from the fold/full training targets and remap or zero-fill each probability matrix before copying it intometaFeatures.Also applies to: 305-313, 362-369

…race conditions (#935) * fix: remove static PreprocessingRegistry usage from AiModelBuilder (#931) Remove the 3 `PreprocessingRegistry<T, TInput>.Current = _preprocessingPipeline` assignments from AiModelBuilder.ConfigurePreprocessing() and the 3 analogous PostprocessingRegistry assignments from ConfigurePostprocessing(). The pipeline is already stored as an instance field on the builder and flows to AiModelResult via PreprocessingInfo — the global static registry was unnecessary and caused race conditions when multiple builders ran concurrently. Changes: - Remove 6 static registry assignments from AiModelBuilder.cs - Add [Obsolete] attribute to PreprocessingRegistry<T, TInput> class - Replace PreprocessingRegistry usage in DocumentNeuralNetworkBase with an instance-level PreprocessingTransformer property - Add 4 integration tests verifying concurrent builds don't cross-contaminate Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: resolve 7 pr review comments - registry deprecation, thread safety, docs - Fix PreprocessingTransformer docs: clarify protected accessibility - Add PostprocessingTransformer instance property to DocumentNeuralNetworkBase - Replace PostprocessingRegistry static usage with instance-based transformer - Mark PostprocessingRegistry as [Obsolete] (same treatment as PreprocessingRegistry) - Update PreprocessingRegistry.Current docs to reflect no longer auto-set - Fix concurrent test to use separate data loaders (thread-safety) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: wire preprocessing transformer onto document models in buildasync Changed PreprocessingTransformer and PostprocessingTransformer from protected to protected internal so AiModelBuilder can set them. BuildSupervisedInternalAsync now wires the preprocessing pipeline onto DocumentNeuralNetworkBase models, replacing the static registry approach that caused race conditions during concurrent builds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: narrow transformer surface, fail fast on unfitted, wire postprocessing - Changed PreprocessingTransformer/PostprocessingTransformer back to protected and added internal ConfigureTransformers() method for AiModelBuilder wiring - PreprocessDocument/PostprocessOutput now throw if transformer is set but not fitted instead of silently falling back to defaults - Wired both preprocessing AND postprocessing onto DocumentNeuralNetworkBase - Updated PreprocessingRegistry docs to reflect deprecated/removed status - Added [Collection] to registry tests and try/finally cleanup - Fixed "override" wording to "assign" in docs Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: centralize document transformer injection and strengthen test assertions Extract transformer wiring into ConfigureDocumentTransformers() helper method that always passes current pipeline values (clearing prior state on reuse). Called from both supervised build path and BuildProgramSynthesisInferenceOnlyResult(). Strengthen PreprocessingRegistryIntegrationTests to verify PreprocessingInfo is non-null and fitted, not just Assert.NotNull(result). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: remove unfitted check from PostprocessOutput, update docs, strengthen tests PostprocessOutput no longer throws on unfitted transformers since postprocessing transforms (Softmax, LabelDecoder) are often stateless. Updated XML docs to reflect instance-level transformer priority. Strengthen concurrent and sequential test assertions to verify PreprocessingInfo is non-null and fitted on each result.

src/Diffusion/Memory/DiffusionMemoryManager.cs:1
- This prints
Total shardedtwice whenTotalShardedMemory.HasValueis true (once viaGetValueOrDefault()and again in theHasValueblock). Remove the unconditional line or the conditional block so the metric is emitted only once.
src/Inference/CachedMultiHeadAttention.cs:1 - Changing
SupportsTrainingfromtruetofalseis a behavioral/API change that can break callers relying on training paths for this layer (even if KV-cache is inference-only). If this PR is strictly about removing null-forgiving operators, consider reverting this change or gating cache behavior behindInferenceModewhile keeping training support consistent.
src/Preprocessing/PreprocessingInfo.cs:1 - Enabling
TypeNameHandling.Autoon Newtonsoft.Json deserialization is unsafe with untrusted inputs (it can enable polymorphic type injection). Prefer avoidingTypeNameHandling, or enforce a strict allowlist via a customISerializationBinder/converter so only known transformer types can be materialized.

src/Interpretability/Explainers/InfluenceFunctionExplainer.cs:1 - Two issues here: (1)
cachedGradientsis declared inside the outer loop, so the null-guard runs N times unnecessarily; hoist it before thefor (int i...)loop. (2) The loop condition still uses_cachedTrainingGradients!.Columns(null-forgiving remains and can still throw); usecachedGradients.Columnsinstead.
src/NeuralNetworks/Layers/SSM/TransNormerLLMLayer.cs:1 - The RHS still reads
_gammasGradient[hi]without the null-guard, so this can still throw aNullReferenceException. Assign the guarded array to a local (e.g.,var gammasGrad = _gammasGradient ?? throw ...;) and use that for both the read and write.
src/NeuralNetworks/Layers/DenseLayer.cs:1 - The
LeakyReLUcase still uses a null-forgiving operator (_lastPreActivationGpu!), which is inconsistent with the rest of the switch and undermines the goal of this PR. Replace it with the same?? throwpattern used by the other activations.
src/Tools/DiffusionTools.cs:1 - When parsing 2D audio, this assumes every channel has the same
numSamplesasaudioData2D[0]. If any channel array is shorter,audioData2D[ch][s]will throwIndexOutOfRangeException. Validate that all channels are non-null and have equal length before filling the tensor, or handle ragged arrays explicitly.
src/Video/Motion/RAFT.cs:1 - The upsampling factor is hard-coded to
8. If the forward path’s upsample factor ever changes (or becomes configurable), backward will silently diverge. Prefer reusing the same factor source as forward (e.g., a constant/shared field) or passing the factor through cached state.

src/Optimizers/BFGSOptimizer.cs:1
Convert.ToDouble(ys)will throw at runtime for generic numeric types that don't implementIConvertible(which is common for custom numeric backends). Use the project's numeric conversion (NumOps.ToDouble(ys)) for the curvature-condition check, and keepysasTfor subsequent computations.
src/Tools/DiffusionTools.cs:1- This assumes every channel has the same
LengthasaudioData2D[0]. If anyaudioData2D[ch]is shorter,audioData2D[ch][s]will throwIndexOutOfRangeException. Validate that all channels have identical non-zero lengths (or choose a consistent truncation/padding strategy) before populating the tensor.
src/NeuralNetworks/Layers/DenseLayer.cs:1 - This switch arm still uses a null-forgiving operator on
_lastPreActivationGpuwhile other arms were updated to guarded throws. For consistency (and to avoidNullReferenceException), replace this with the same guarded pattern used elsewhere in the switch.
src/Models/VectorModel.cs:1 (object?)norm ?? (object)0.0is effectively dead code for typical generic numericT(value types won’t benull), and it mixesTanddoubleinAdditionalInfoinconsistently. Prefer storing the boxedTvalues directly (or convert all to a consistent representation likedoubleviaNumOps.ToDouble(...)if consumers expect numeric primitives).
