SirStone	589a230106	TM radial gun: registered (default OFF) + label-bias fix that removes the bias but ... retracts its own earlier learning claim === TASK 1: REGISTERED AS GUN 14, DEFAULT `off` === The radial TM gun is now a first-class rack member (`TMPATTERN`, id 14), forceable alone with `TR_RACK_TMPATTERN=both` plus every other `TR_RACK_*=off`. DEFAULT IS `off`, and the justification matters: `both` would let it compete for selection AND (because the shared VirtualTracker ring is order-sensitive) shift every other gun's learning order, so it CANNOT leave the default path unchanged. With `off` its predict and spawnBullets are additionally GATED on rack admission (the only gun wired that way), so the shipped default never spawns it at all: zero cost, zero ring perturbation. Live proof: 1-round battle with only TMPATTERN racked -> `gun 14 (TMPattern): vShots=400 selected=104 other-gun selections=0`. Default-path-unchanged proof: parity checks that the 15-gun default bestGun/ selectGun equals the old 14-gun rack RNG-draw-for-RNG-draw, that gun 14 is never selected by default, and acceptance 12/12. Cost: 0.36 ms/tick (predict 0.30 + onResult 0.05) ~= 3% of the 13.16 ms budget. Tsetlin in the same harness is 1.62 ms/tick, so the new gun is ~4.5x cheaper. === TASK 2: THE LABEL-BIAS FIX - AND A RETRACTION === Root cause confirmed: under bmPoint a SHORT radial correction resolves the virtual bullet BEFORE the base arrival tick, so the label was dropped (labelMisses). Fix: defer the label in a pending queue and flush it once the arrival tick is recorded; labels still come from the BASE arrival tick. labelMisses 4,281,695 -> 0 training samples 1,071,824 -> 5,345,847 (x5) radial head acc 48.8% -> 57.0% (shuffled control 20.0%) bmPoint hit rate 9.4/5.8% -> 9.1/5.7% (unchanged, within noise) So the fix IMPROVES LEARNING but NOT the metric. **RETRACTION OF THE PREVIOUS JOB'S CLAIM.** It reported the radial head's 48.8% against a 36.7% majority baseline and concluded "conditional learning, not a constant bias". With the bias removed, the correctly-measured majority baseline is **58.2%** - so the head at 57.0% is AT/BELOW majority. The earlier apparent conditional learning was PARTLY AN ARTEFACT OF THE BIASED SAMPLE. The bmPoint metric win is real (TMRadial > Linear early 16/2 p=0.0013, overall 18/0 p<0.0001; > shuffled 18/0 p<0.0001) but it comes from a NET-POSITIVE AVERAGE RADIAL SHIFT, not from beating a majority classifier. Recorded plainly rather than left standing. Guards: test_tm_pattern_registration 20 (new), test_tm_pattern_rack_live 4 (new), test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3 (the SIGSEGV is gone - the knn_gun rewrite is now committed), test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28, test_rack_membership 38, test_selector_tiebreak 19, test_tm_pattern_learning 3, acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12. ModularBot compiles (release). Note: `common_libs/tests/range_guns.nim` still builds 14 offline drivers (the offline sweep constructs TmPatternGun directly and acceptance only inspects ids 0..13), so nothing breaks - but a future job wanting it in the offline rack must add a 15th driver and mirror the live admission gating. gun_stats.jsonl now emits 15 rows; downstream tooling should ignore id 14.	2026-09-22 01:58:33 +02:00
SirStone	a73de13458	racks: separate melee and 1v1 gun racks, plus per-mode real hit-rate data ... The user's plan: "separate racks for melee and 1v1, so the bot switches from those based on the situation, and we can put the guns we want in one or both racks." MECHANISM - `RackMode` (rm1v1/rmMelee) derived from SERVER TRUTH: `rackMode(enemyCount)` = 1v1 when the count is 1, melee otherwise. This is the SAME `getEnemyCount()` value the radar already uses, so there is now ONE definition of the mode. (Using the tracker's known-enemy count was a previous bug in the radar: it read 1 before the second enemy was scanned.) - `RackMembership` per gun: both (default) | 1v1 | melee | off. - The selector ranks only admitted guns - including the floor path and the incumbent-hysteresis path. - Empty filtered set FALLS BACK to the full rack, so the bot can never end up with no gun. - Env-overridable at process start, no rebuild: `TR_RACK_<GUN>` for all 14 guns (TR_RACK_HEADON, TR_RACK_LINEAR, ... TR_RACK_TMSELECT), values both|1v1|melee|off. Empty/unknown -> both + a stderr warning, never fatal. - `[rack] mode=<1v1|melee> active=<guns> overrides=<...>` logged once per mode change, never per tick. DEFAULT IS UNCHANGED: every gun ships `rmBoth`, so behaviour is byte-identical until the user re-racks anything. Verified by the unit test's default-config selection parity (RNG draw for RNG draw) and by `test_gun_harness` 39 and acceptance 12/12. `chooseFromFit` iterates the admitted list in ascending id order, so the random tie-break draws are unchanged. NO TUNING DONE, deliberately: we had no per-gun melee hit-rate data, and an earlier 15-paired-run experiment found pruning neutral-to-negative on hit rate (p=0.57/0.21). So all guns stay `both` and the membership pass waits for data. PER-MODE DATA PLUMBING (this is what unblocks that pass): per-gun real shot accounting is now split by the rack in force at fire time, adding to gun_stats.jsonl: realShots1v1, realHits1v1, realHitRate1v1, realShotsMelee, realHitsMelee, realHitRateMelee. Verification: test_rack_membership 38/38 (new, pure, no battle); test_gun_harness 39, test_vbullet_metric 11, test_power_selection 3, test_adaptive_radar 41, test_tfil_ring_weights 24, test_power_policy 26, test_ram_decision 28; acceptance_offline_vs_online 12/12 VERDICT PASS; ModularBot compiles. The live `[rack]` line was observed switching 1v1 -> melee when the enemy died. The offline range never calls the selector (only spawnBullets/tickBullets/ reportFor), so mode filtering cannot change the offline result and no offline mode parameter was needed - confirmed by reasoning over the source and by 12/12.	2026-09-22 00:45:10 +02:00
