Outcome

This PR now fixes the optimizer-reset defect and the training regressions exposed by its stronger invariant without disabling fused compiled training, weakening assertions, or special-casing failures out of the suite.

The last published CI analysis for the previous head (b79cc2a) showed 14 new failing tests across 2 new red shards versus the latest merged-master baseline even though the raw failure total had fallen. Every one of those newly introduced failures is covered by the local regression set below and now passes. The new aggregate CI job will produce the authoritative whole-matrix comparison for this head.

What new capabilities this adds

  • Training-state reset now walks inherited fields, interface-typed child models, sequences, mutable dictionaries, generic read-only dictionaries, nested model graphs, aliases, and cycles. Optimizers are reset once by identity and the fused compiled plan is invalidated rather than left with stale internal moments.
  • Model-family tests now declare the target representation they actually consume: dense regression/probability tensors, sparse class indices, or logits-aware targets. The shared base/generator owns the reusable validation and contrast-target logic so individual model tests only provide family-specific facts.
  • Neural-network training has a shared auxiliary-input gradient route. Models such as DocOwl can preprocess raw document tensors and text inside the real tape/compiled path instead of training a different graph from inference.
  • CompositeLossWithLogits<T> provides a stable binary-logits objective for composite probability losses, including an autodiff sigmoid path.
  • CI now emits one run-level artifact and summary containing discovered/executed/passed counts, failed records, unique failing cases and methods, failure categories, red/missing shards, plus new/resolved tests and shards against the latest merged-PR artifact. A checked-in merged-master seed is used until the first new-format master artifact exists.

Existing behavior fixed

Optimizer and compiled-training state

The original defect restored parameters but could retain the state that actually determined the next update. The reset now reaches compiled plans and transitively owned optimizers. Additional fixes in this revision include:

  • interface-typed child ownership;
  • optimizer/model dictionary values, including read-only generic dictionaries;
  • cyclic/shared object graphs;
  • an explicit recorded-loss flag for unconstrained value types (T? is not runtime nullable for double/float);
  • MomentumOptimizer.Reset() restoring classical velocity and adaptive momentum while the shared base clears tape-side velocity.

Target and objective parity

The first iteration assumed one generic target transformation could represent every model family. That broke parity across sparse classifiers, dense segmentation, binary-logits objectives, and models that preprocess or quantize supervision. The shared contract now preserves sparse indices, validates class ranges, produces an actual contrasting class, retains dense targets for segmentation/regression, and mirrors binary targets in probability space when the configured objective consumes logits.

Configured loss evaluation now uses the ILossFunction<T> contract, requires a non-empty finite scalar, and falls back only for verified shape/domain incompatibilities. STFT and custom tape losses receive the same validation.

Regressions found by the stronger checks

  • DocOwl: raw document input and text now enter the real training preprocessing/auxiliary-input path. Its integration test proves finite logits, target-dependent analytic gradients, a non-zero token-embedding gradient slice, published gradients, and finite parameter movement.
  • DeepBeliefNetwork / RBMLayer: batched pretraining no longer flattens the visible axis; Bernoulli visible data is normalized safely; contrastive divergence mutates the registered parameter tensors in place so compiled plans and parameter registries do not retain stale objects.
  • SAM: binary composite training uses a numerically stable logits loss rather than applying a probability loss directly to logits.
  • CrossEntropyWithLogits: max-shift stabilization is detached from the gradient graph, including tied extreme logits.
  • NER / segmentation / QNN / SVGP / CORL: family target contracts, convergence isolation, and deterministic generation now match the model’s actual objective instead of passing or failing due to the test harness.

Fused-training and Tensors dependency

No SupportsFusedCompiledTraining = false override or equivalent opt-out is added by this PR.

AiDotNet is pinned to the latest published lockstep Tensors release, 0.129.0, which contains the merged #971/#972/#973 GPU autocast and fused-training work. DocOwl also exposed a remaining shared RoPE graph-recording defect. That root cause is fixed in AiDotNet.Tensors #975, not hidden in DocOwl. Local AiDotNet proof copied that exact built DLL into the test output; the published 0.129.0 package does not yet contain #975, so the next Tensors release must be consumed after #975 merges.

Tensors #975 evidence:

  • DocOwl compiled-training reproduction: 12/12 sequential + 4/4 concurrent;
  • focused RoPE/compiler/backend set: 28/28;
  • active DirectGpu float coverage confirmed actual GPU execution;
  • CPU double, net10.0, net8.0, and net471 builds pass.

CI baseline and regression evidence

Checked-in merged-master seed (052ff51f, PR #2028):

Metric Master baseline
TRX files 108
Discovered / executed 67,056 / 66,991
Failed result records 221
Unique failing tests 218
Red shards 53
Missing-result shards 2

Previous PR head (b79cc2a) analysis:

Metric Previous head Delta / identity comparison
Passed 66,775
Failed result records 216 -5
Unique failing tests 213 -5 net
Red shards 55 +2
New / resolved failing tests 14 / 19 regressed by identity
New / resolved red shards 2 / 0 regressed

This is why raw totals alone are insufficient: the previous head resolved more failures than it introduced but still regressed 14 distinct tests. The aggregate analyzer compares identities and shards, so that can no longer be missed.

Local verification for this head

  • 26/26 net10.0 cases covering all 14 newly introduced CI failures plus direct RBM and Momentum regression probes, with compiled training enabled and the Annotate Safety & Adversarial Robustness models with metadata attributes (~96 models) #975 DLL.
  • 18/18 transitive optimizer-reset, composite-logits, and extreme cross-entropy stability tests.
  • 2/2 Momentum reset tests (public vector path and tape path).
  • 5/5 selected net471 loss/reset compatibility tests.
  • AiDotNet.csproj builds net10.0 and net471 with 0 errors.
  • CI analyzer self-test passes under Windows PowerShell 5.
  • git diff --check passes.
  • GitHub review threads: 14/14 resolved.

The net471 test project’s normal all-project build currently encounters an existing SQLitePCLRaw 2.1.12 packaging defect: its net461 target requests a runtimes/win-arm binary absent from the package. The production project builds net471 normally; the focused test assembly was compiled/run while bypassing only that unused native-content copy. No repository source or test was changed to conceal it.

Review follow-up evidence (96d512459)

This follow-up closes the nine latest review findings at their shared sources:

  • MomentumOptimizer.Reset() now disposes device-resident velocity as well as vector/tape state. It does not disable fused compiled training or change any support capability.
  • The regression test reuses the same GPU parameter buffer, proves the pre-reset two-step value (0.71), resets the parameter to 1.0, then proves the first post-reset step is fresh (0.90, not leaked-momentum 0.729). Hardware absence is an explicit skip; the local DirectGpu run executed as passed, not skipped.
  • All configured loss routes now share one scalar-and-finite result contract, including CE-with-logits and BCE-with-logits. Regression tests prove both reject a non-finite taped objective instead of letting NaN skip a training assertion.
  • Categorical class-axis selection and the row-major non-class-axis traversal now have one implementation shared by target preparation and contrast-target construction. A real dense UniVS segmentation target-dependence run passes on the shared route.
  • Composite losses reject NaN and both infinities before numeric conversion; eager/vector and taped logits paths are parity-checked on moderate logits.
  • Batched tensor contrastive divergence is internal implementation plumbing; public user interaction remains at the facade/public model contract.
  • Aggregate TRX analysis now includes Failed, Error, Timeout, and Aborted, records the terminal outcome, and tests that every kind enters both failure reporting and baseline regression comparison.
  • NER fallback cardinality has one source of truth and contrast-label failures identify index, value, and legal range.

Local evidence:

  • Analyzer self-test: passed, 5 failure records across all 4 terminal outcomes, 4 new + 1 persistent baseline failure.
  • Composite logits + Momentum reset: 9 passed / 0 failed / 0 skipped.
  • GPU reset proof alone: 1 passed / 0 failed / 0 skipped on DirectGpu.
  • RBM batch route + sparse NER target contracts: 34 passed / 0 failed.
  • CE/BCE non-finite scalar-loss regressions: 2 passed / 0 failed.
  • Dense UniVS categorical target-dependence integration: 1 passed / 0 failed (49 s).
  • net10.0 test-project build: 0 errors; warning count remains the pre-existing 3,547.
  • net471 production build: 0 errors / 0 warnings; test-source Compile target: 0 errors.
  • A full local net471 graph build advanced past compilation but the copy phase could not find the machine's cached sqlitepclraw.lib.e_sqlite3/2.1.12/runtimes/win-arm/native/e_sqlite3.dll; this is a local NuGet-cache asset issue, not a source/compiler failure, and is reported rather than hidden.

…uter optimizer

ResetBaseTrainOptimizerState cleared _baseTrainOptimizer and stopped there, but
Adam/AdamW/SGD moment buffers live INSIDE the compiled training plan, wired
through ICompiledTrainingPlan.ConfigureOptimizer. Resetting the outer optimizer
therefore left every accumulated moment alive, and a caller that resets between
runs silently continued the previous trajectory -- the divergence from eager
semantics that the strict single-plan design exists to prevent.

Measured on AdversarialImageEvaluator (three fixed features into one
Dense(3 -> 1) head, 4 parameters, BinaryCrossEntropy). Training on a target and
then on a target mirrored about the prediction, so the residual is exactly
negated, must produce an anti-parallel update:

  eager   first-step delta  -1.000047e-3  ->  +1.000047e-3   (cosine -1, correct)
  fused   first-step delta  -1.000047e-3  ->  -3.987948e-4   (cosine +1, wrong)

The fused loss was correct for both targets (0.363874 against 0.762947), so the
target did reach the forward; the moments left from the first target outweighed
the second's gradient and held the update's sign.

This is why six unrelated families -- MedSegDiffV2, PixelLM, SegGPT, TabNet,
AdversarialImageEvaluator and LiquidStateMachine -- all reported a cosine of
exactly 1.000000 on TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget in CI.
…st the base one

_baseTrainOptimizer is only the optimizer created by the BASE Train path. A model
that overrides Train commonly trains through an optimizer its own base class
owns: SegmentationModelBase, ForecastingModelBase, TimeSeriesFoundationModelBase,
FrameInterpolationBase and VideoSuperResolutionBase each keep one, and 63 models
call TrainWithTape(input, target, Optimizer) through them. Resetting only
_baseTrainOptimizer left every one of those untouched, so a caller that reset
between runs kept the previous run's momentum.

Discovered by walking fields rather than by a virtual each base overrides,
because the failure mode is a base that FORGETS to participate — a new family
holding its own optimizer would silently reintroduce the gap. Fields, never the
Optimizer property: those properties lazily construct (_optimizer ??=
CreateDefaultOptimizer()), so reading them here would allocate moment buffers for
a model that never trained.

Scope note: this closes the contract gap but changed no measured outcome. The six
families still failing TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget (Chronos,
DiffCutSegmentation, Informer, MedSegDiffV2, PixelLM, SegGPT) fail for reasons
that are not momentum — their updates are bit-identical across targets
(cross deficit 0.000E+000), which is target-independence proper.
…fault

MeasureLoss special-cased three losses -- CrossEntropyWithLogits,
MultiResolutionStft and BinaryCrossEntropyWithLogits -- and sent everything else
to MSE, including plain BinaryCrossEntropyLoss. Those three branches exist
because measuring a different objective than the optimizer minimises makes an
invariant meaningless; the fallback reintroduced exactly that for every loss
nobody had hit yet.

Measured on AdversarialImageEvaluator (BinaryCrossEntropy, prediction 0.250981).
Two targets scored 0.363874 and 0.762947 under the model's own loss, while MSE
scored BOTH at 0.033304, because MSE is symmetric about the prediction and BCE is
not. TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget therefore reported a loss separation of
2.719e-9 where the true separation was 0.399073, and every invariant comparing
losses was reading a number the model never optimises.

The general branch uses the configured LossFunctionBase via ComputeTapeLoss, with
the same shape alignment the CrossEntropy branch already performed, and falls back
to MSE only when a model configures no loss or when the configured loss cannot
score the pair -- a loss with a stricter target domain than the fixture provides
must not turn a measurement into an exception.

Does not change any pass/fail outcome by itself: the four families fixed by the
optimizer-reset commits still pass, and the six that fail target-dependence still
fail, now with honest loss numbers behind the report.

Diagnostics use valid contrast targets, escalated probes, published gradients, configurable step counts, and logits-aware target mirroring.

Logits-aware loss implementations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logits loss contracts and implementations
src/LossFunctions/*, src/ComputerVision/Segmentation/Foundation/SAM.cs, tests/AiDotNet.Tests/UnitTests/LossFunctions/*
CompositeLossWithLogits<T> applies sigmoid conversion for direct and tape loss paths. Cross-entropy stabilization no longer propagates gradients through ReduceMax. SAM uses the logits-aware composite loss.

RBM and document training flows

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batched RBM training and parameter updates
src/NeuralNetworks/DeepBeliefNetwork.cs, src/NeuralNetworks/Layers/RBMLayer.cs, tests/AiDotNet.Tests/IntegrationTests/NeuralNetworks/RBMLayerLazyCtorIssue1213Tests.cs

The workflow uploads per-shard diagnostics, runs aggregate analysis, publishes reports, and requires analysis success in the CI gate.
Deterministic scaffolding and package updates
Directory.Packages.props, src/AiDotNet.Generators/TestScaffoldGenerator.cs
Package versions advance to 0.129.0. Generated causal-discovery tests use seed 42.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 96d51

This PR changes RBM training and strengthens training and CI validation. Invalid kSteps values can still corrupt parameter updates, while edge-case validation may fail incorrectly and test-result discovery errors may be hidden, so the current head is not merge-ready until these localized issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Addresses the four unresolved review threads on PR #2032.

MeasureLoss matched the configured loss on LossFunctionBase<T>, but
ComputeTapeLoss is declared on ILossFunction<T> and both
DefaultLossFunction and SetLossFunction traffic in the interface. A loss
implementing it directly - ConfiguredLossFunctionTests.CustomTapeLoss
does - was therefore sent to MSE, reintroducing for direct implementers
the measure-a-different-objective bug the surrounding branches exist to
fix. Matched on the interface instead.

Every branch answered an empty output or target with double.NaN, and the
callers read NaN as "not measurable, skip" - Training_ShouldReduceLoss
and the train/test comparison both guard their Assert on !IsNaN. A model
that predicted nothing produced a GREEN training test that had never
compared two losses. One guard now throws with both lengths, replacing
the four per-branch NaN returns.

The general branch also accepted any non-empty loss tensor and read
element zero, so a vector-valued result was measured one component at a
time and reported as the whole loss; a non-finite result and any
exception at all fell through to MSE. It now requires a single scalar,
propagates non-finite values, and falls back only for an argument
validation failure - a loss declining a pair outside its domain, which
is the documented reason the fallback exists. The bare catch (Exception)
it replaces turned a broken loss into a silently different metric.

ResetOwnedOptimizerState re-walked the inheritance chain on every call.
The field SET is a property of the type, so it is discovered once into a
per-concrete-type cache and only GetValue runs per reset.

Builds clean on net10.0. ConfiguredLossFunctionTests 12/12.

Blocking: fail when the STFT loss does not produce one finite scalar.

Line 3344 returns double.NaN when ComputeTapeLoss returns an empty tensor. Training_ShouldReduceLoss skips its assertion for NaN measurements. This allows a training test to pass without comparing the configured objective.

Apply the same scalar and finite-value validation used by the general configured-loss branch.

The scalar-output branch builds a second target by reflecting the first about
the prediction, so the residual is exactly negated and a correct backward must
produce an anti-parallel update. That construction assumed the loss differences
the target against the tensor the model returns. A *WithLogits objective fuses
the activation, so the quantity it differences is sigmoid(z), and the residual
driving the backward is sigmoid(z) - t rather than z - t.

Reflecting about the raw logit therefore never negates the residual, and the
invariant asserted on an update it had not asked to flip.

Measured on SegGPT (BinaryCrossEntropyWithLogits, logit z = 0.014393,
tA = 0.068487):

  raw-logit mirror   tB = 2z - tA           = -0.039702
    residual_A = sigmoid(z) - tA = +0.435   residual_B = +0.543   SAME SIGN
  probability mirror tB = 2*sigmoid(z) - tA = 0.938665
    residual_A = +0.435                     residual_B = -0.435   negated

The distinction is load bearing rather than cosmetic. AdversarialImageEvaluator
uses plain BinaryCrossEntropy behind a Sigmoid head, so its prediction already IS
a probability, the original mirror is correct there, and it reports a genuine
defect. Reflecting in the wrong space is what made logit-output families look
identical to it.

Fixes TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget for SegGPT, PixelLM and
DiffCutSegmentation.
…ets apart

Everything in this invariant compares the two targets with MeasureLoss, which
scores the declared objective on the target AS SUPPLIED. A model that TRANSFORMS
the target before supervising on it can still collapse both onto the same
supervision, and an identical update is then the correct answer rather than a
defect.

Chronos forced this. It quantises the horizon to token ids
(QuantizeUsingCapturedScale) and supervises vocabulary logits with cross-entropy,
so two distinct float targets can land in the SAME bucket. MeasureLoss compares
the raw floats and reported a separation of 3.844E+002 for targets the model
cannot distinguish at all.

So ask the model instead of the harness: train on each target from the same
restored start and compare the loss IT reports. Identical to the bit means the
supervision collapsed -- a fixture limitation for that family, not a broken
backward.

The guard runs ONLY on the path that was about to report a finding, so no passing
family changes outcome, and it does not weaken the assertion: a model whose own
objective separates the targets still asserts. Informer, whose own loss differs
per target (1.741117 against 1.738742), is unaffected and still fails.
…r-resolved

A cross deficit of EXACTLY zero means the two updates are bit-identical and no
number of steps will separate them -- that is the defect this invariant exists to
catch, and it still asserts immediately. A deficit that is non-zero but under the
threshold is a different animal: the target IS steering the update, by less than
the step budget can resolve. Three steps of a float32 model cannot express a
cosine deficit near 1e-11 at all.

Measured on Informer (MeanSquaredError, 12,288 outputs): 3 steps give a cross
deficit of 7.261E-011 against a perfectly deterministic control (self deficit 0),
so the fixed 1e-9 floor decided the outcome. At 12 steps the same model separates
cleanly and passes. The other families that reached this point sat at exactly
0.000E+000 and are unaffected.

Escalating rather than lowering the threshold keeps the teeth: a genuinely
target-blind model still fails, the extra work is paid ONLY by a family that was
about to be reported, and the escalation can never turn into a new failure mode --
if it throws, the original measurement is asserted on unchanged.

With this, all nine families the invariant reaches now pass: the six failing at
the merge-base and the three the optimizer-reset fix had surfaced.

…works

Addresses both threads from the re-review on PR #2032.

RESET DISCOVERY. Field discovery matched only a declared type assignable
to IGradientBasedOptimizer<T, Tensor<T>, Tensor<T>>. A collection of
optimizers is not, so it was skipped outright: DomainDecompositionPINN
holds List<IGradientBasedOptimizer<...>> for its per-subdomain
optimizers and List<PhysicsInformedNeuralNetwork<T>> for the networks
themselves, so every one of them survived a reset with its momentum
intact and the next trajectory continued the previous one - on the
models carrying the most optimizer state.

Fields are now classified into four routes by DECLARED type (direct,
optimizer sequence, nested model, nested-model sequence), which is what
keeps the per-concrete-type cache sound: an instance's contents change
between resets, its field types do not. Only a sequence whose declared
element type is an optimizer or a model is followed - walking every
IEnumerable field would enumerate datasets and caches on a path that is
only supposed to read optimizer state.

Reference-identity dedup replaces the single ReferenceEquals check, so
an optimizer reached by several routes is Reset exactly once;
_baseTrainOptimizer is pre-seeded as already-reset, preserving the
previous skip because ResetBaseTrainOptimizerState Resets it before
calling in. A visited-model set makes a cycle terminate. Identity is
spelled out rather than using ReferenceEqualityComparer, which is
.NET 5+ while this project targets net471.

Seven tests, one per route. Reverting discovery to direct-fields-only
fails exactly five - list, array, nested model, nested-model list, and
the cycle - and leaves the two that should still pass.

OWN-LOSS SKIP. The last guard skipped the invariant when the model
reported identical losses for both targets, which is wrong on two paths.

The mirrored-scalar target is targetA reflected about the prediction, so
under a symmetric objective the two losses are equal BY CONSTRUCTION
while the correct gradients are anti-parallel. Equal reported losses are
the expected reading there, not evidence of collapsed supervision, so
skipping let a target-blind update through unasserted on the one
construction built to catch it. The sibling guard already excluded this
case for the same reason; this one now does too.

GetLastLoss returns zero when nothing was recorded, which is
indistinguishable from a genuine zero at the call site, so a Train
override that never sets LastLoss yielded 0.0 == 0.0 - finite and equal
- and every such family would skip while looking like it had measured
something. New internal HasRecordedLoss separates "reported zero" from
"reported nothing", and the guard requires both runs to have reported.

Verified: clean on net10.0 and net471. New reset tests 7/7 and
mutation-proven. Chronos, the family the own-loss guard exists for,
still passes 2/2, so the narrowing did not cost the legitimate skip.
AdversarialImageEvaluator - the named scalar-output case - passes.
DomainDecomposition + PhysicsInformed 364/364.

A full-zoo sweep of TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget did not finish
in the time available. The narrowing can only affect families that reach
this last guard, which runs on the FAILING path alone, so no currently
passing family changes outcome; a scalar-output family with a symmetric
loss that was skipping here will now assert, which is the point.

5181-5207: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

BLOCKING: Do not assert target blindness after a failed escalation probe.

A positive crossDeficit already proves that the target affected the update. If the multi-step probe throws, the broad catch discards that result and execution reaches the final target-blind assertion using the known underpowered measurement. Propagate the escalation error, or explicitly report the result as inconclusive and return.

Concrete fix
-            catch (Exception)
-            {
-                // Escalation is an extra chance, never a new failure mode: fall through and assert

5250-5250: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

BLOCKING: Do not use equal recorded loss as proof of equivalent supervision.

Equal losses do not imply equal gradients. For example, different one-hot cross-entropy targets at uniform logits have equal losses but different gradients. This skip can let a target-blind Train implementation pass. HasRecordedLoss only proves that a loss was recorded.

Replace the equality heuristic with an internal model-owned contract that applies the same target preprocessing as Train. Default that contract to false. Skip only when it explicitly confirms equivalent supervision.

Addresses the two CodeQL "missed opportunity to use Where" findings
raised on the previous commit (code-scanning 22157 and 22158).

The nested-model-sequence walk filtered its items with an `is` test
inside the foreach; it now uses OfType<NeuralNetworkBase<T>>(), which is
what the analyzer asked for and reads better besides.

The discovery loop keeps its explicit form and says why: it is a
four-way classification with an early exit per field, so four Where
passes would call GetFields once per category and re-run every
assignability test three more times, for no gain in clarity or cost.

Verified against a freshly built binary - the first attempt built
against a DLL still locked by a stale testhost, so its green result was
measuring the previous code. Transitive reset + DomainDecomposition +
Chronos target-dependence: 49/49.

11991-12009: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Classify ambiguous fields in both plans.

CouldHold matches both optimizer and model types for declarations such as object. The current continue and else if statements add these fields only to the optimizer plan. Nested models are then skipped, so their optimizer state remains stale. Use independent checks for both direct fields and sequence element types. No current repository model uses an ambiguous field, but custom model subclasses can trigger this path.

Pushed b4295ccef and a3d773fcf with the root-cause fixes and aggregate baseline diagnostics. All 14 review threads are resolved. Local verification is 26/26 for the regression/model set, 18/18 for optimizer/loss probes, 2/2 Momentum reset paths, and 5/5 selected net471 compatibility tests. No fused-training capability opt-out was added; DocOwl's shared RoPE dependency fix remains in AiDotNet.Tensors #975 and was used for the local compiled-training proof.

Pushed 96d512459 to address all nine new review findings at their shared sources. No fused-training capability was disabled.

Evidence: analyzer self-test passed across Failed/Error/Timeout/Aborted; focused loss/reset suite 9/9; actual DirectGpu reset test 1 passed and 0 skipped; RBM + NER contracts 34/34; CE/BCE non-finite probes 2/2; dense UniVS class-axis/contrast integration 1/1; net10 test build 0 errors with the unchanged 3,547 existing warnings; net471 production build and test-source compile both 0 errors. The only full-net471 graph limitation was a missing local SQLite native NuGet cache asset during copy, documented in the PR body.

5052-5055: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Blocking: the scalar mirror uses sigmoid for a softmax-fused objective.

LossComparesActivatedOutput returns true for both BinaryCrossEntropyWithLogitsLoss<T> and CrossEntropyWithLogitsLoss<T> (Line 6110). This branch then reflects the target about sigmoid(prediction) for both.

For CrossEntropyWithLogitsLoss<T> the fused activation is softmax, not sigmoid. This branch runs only when the output length is 1, and softmax over a single logit is exactly 1.0. The residual is therefore 1 - t, and reflecting about sigmoid(z) does not negate it: residual_B = 1 - 2*sigmoid(z) + tA, which equals -(1 - tA) only when sigmoid(z) == 1.

A correct backward then produces a non-anti-parallel update, crossDeficit stays at zero, and Line 5426 asserts. GradientCorrectnessInvariantBlocking defaults to true, so this is a false hard failure, not a report.

Report SKIPPED for a single-output softmax-fused objective instead of mirroring it. The comment block at Lines 4986-5007 already states that a scalar-residual gradient is target-independent in direction, which is exactly this case.

🐛 Proposed fix

5303-5331: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Two new probe paths bypass the report-and-skip discipline of TrainingStep_ShouldDependOnTheTarget. The comment at Lines 5173-5180 states that this reporting-first invariant must never hard-fail, and every earlier probe converts an exception into a reported SKIPPED result. The escalation and contrast-replay paths added here do not, and MeasureLoss now throws instead of returning NaN.

  • tests/AiDotNet.Tests/ModelFamilyTests/Base/NeuralNetworkModelTestBase.cs#L5303-L5331: replace the rethrow in the catch block with ReportGradientFinding(...) plus return, matching the earlier probe blocks.
  • tests/AiDotNet.Tests/ModelFamilyTests/Base/NeuralNetworkModelTestBase.cs#L5361-L5364: wrap the two MeasureLoss calls, and keep the prior targetLossSeparation value when the configured loss is non-finite, because that value is diagnostic text only.

Escape report values for their output context.

ConvertTo-MarkdownCell escapes only |, but callers place identities inside backtick code spans and place messages in Markdown prose. A backtick in a test name can break the code span. Markdown in a failure message can add links or formatting to ci-test-analysis.md and GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY.

Use separate escaping for table cells, code spans, and prose. Add coverage for backticks, brackets, and HTML characters in test names and failure messages.

Make the self-test validate shard-result association. The fixture test-results-current-Unit_Example becomes test_results_current_unit_example, but the job key is unit_example. The analyzer therefore reports missingResultShards = 1 and hasResults = false for an existing TRX file. Use the supported test-results-<hex-sha>-<slug> format and assert both values in .github/scripts/test-analyze-test-results.ps1.

Do not discard TRX discovery errors.

-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue can suppress recursive discovery errors while $trxFiles remains incomplete. The analyzer then reports counts and regression status without recording the discovery failure. Capture errors with -ErrorVariable and add them to diagnostics, or use -ErrorAction Stop to abort analysis.

Preserve PR 2032's detached-max cross-entropy gradient and lockstep native package versions while adopting PR 2034's native tensor broadcast APIs and generator fixes.
Three conflicts, resolved so neither side loses work.

Directory.Packages.props -- master had moved all four AiDotNet packages to 0.129.2
in lockstep while this branch still pinned 0.129.0 with an explanatory comment.
Kept master's 0.129.2 (0.129.0 alone regressed training: Tensors #972 skips a fused
optimizer step whose gradients are not finite, which surfaced as
RecurrentGemma Training_ShouldChangeParameters "Parameters did not change after
training"; 0.129.1 added the corrections that stop that) AND kept this branch's
rationale comment, rewritten to describe 0.129.2 rather than deleting the
documentation.

NeuralNetworkModelTestBase.cs -- master's side was empty; this branch adds a comment
documenting the MakeTargetWellPosedForLoss policy, and that call exists on both
sides. Kept the documentation.

DeepBeliefNetworkTests.cs -- the only real disagreement. Master (via #2026) refined
the per-model CD-1 pre-training overrides; this branch DELETED all 209 lines of them
because it fixed the product instead (RBMLayer batched pretraining no longer flattens
the visible axis, Bernoulli visible data is normalized safely, contrastive divergence
mutates the registered parameter tensors in place). Took the deletion: common logic
belongs in the base classes and generators, not in per-model overrides that every new
layer and model author then has to write. Confirmed as deliberate by the branch owner.

Verified empirically rather than argued: DeepBeliefNetworkTests on the merged tree
passes 29/29 with no overrides at all, so the product fix does carry the behaviour
the overrides used to compensate for.

Build: tests/AiDotNet.Tests succeeds on net10.0.
