#!/usr/bin/env python3 """The Phase A prototype net: a small, known HalfKAv2_hm architecture per NNUE.md's architecture decisions -- 256x2-32-32-1-ish, a single shared feature-transformer weight matrix applied independently to each perspective's active-feature set (that sharing, not two separate tables, is what makes the two 256-wide "accumulator" halves comparable before concatenation), own-perspective-half-first concatenation keyed by side-to-move so the net's single scalar output is side-to-move-relative by construction (per the "Output convention" architecture decision), and a sigmoid-WDL loss against the already-fitted K=1.3123 (per "WDL-sigmoid target conversion built and run", fit_k_and_label.py) rather than raw centipawn MSE. Deliberately NOT doing yet (explicitly deferred, see NNUE.md): clipped activations / quantization-aware scaling (this is a float32-only Phase A prototype, no export-for-C-inference step exists yet), the lazy-eval PSQT-term fast path, and the super-lazy material-only prefilter. All irrelevant to proving the training pipeline works. 2026-10-17: added `material_probe`, a small auxiliary linear head on the same concatenated accumulator `fc1` reads, trained jointly with the main WDL loss (see nnue_train.py's --material-loss-weight) against each position's raw material balance (mover-relative pawns, no sigmoid). Added after a real, measured failure: a net trained with plain MSE (and separately, exponent=2.6) against WDL-sigmoid targets alone could not tell a lost pawn from a lost queen in crowded midgame positions (see sanity_check_net.py) -- directionally correct but magnitude-blind. The probe supplies a non-saturating gradient straight at material, forcing `ft`'s embedding weights to keep material linearly recoverable even where the main WDL loss has little pressure to care. It's training-only scaffolding, like the SF doc's "virtual features" factorization trick -- dropped before export, zero inference-time or quantization-format cost. 2026-10-18: added `ft_p`, the actual Stockfish-doc "P" factor (see NNUE.md's "feature factorization" status entry) -- a second, king-bucket-INDEPENDENT EmbeddingBag over PS_NB=704 rows (piece_square x piece_type x piece_color only), summed into the same accumulator `ft` feeds. Motivation: HalfKAv2_hm's real 22528-row table is king-bucket-conditioned, so a (piece, square, color) tuple that's common in general chess but rare in a specific king bucket gets its own mostly-untrained row -- measured directly on the Stockfish self-play training pool: 9.9% of rows never fire at all, 23.6% see fewer than 50 examples. `ft_p`'s 704 rows see ~32x more observations each (one per king bucket collapsed into one), supplying dense gradient to a king-bucket-independent piece-value prior that `ft`'s sparser rows can then specialize away from. Zero-initialized (nn.init.zeros_) specifically so it contributes nothing at step 0 -- a default (unit-variance) init would silently double the accumulator's effective scale at init, confounding the factorization effect with an incidental learning-rate change. Deliberately no bias of its own -- `ft_bias` stays the only bias on this sum, which is also what keeps the post-training coalescing step (see export_nnue_weights.py) exact rather than approximate. Training-only, like material_probe: coalesced into `ft.weight` and dropped before export, since `idx % PS_NB` (the P-factor's index for real feature `idx`) is recoverable from the real index alone, needing no change to build_training_tensors.py's cached tensors. Deliberately NOT adding Stockfish's other two documented factors ("K", "HalfRelativeKP") -- HalfKAv2_hm already encodes the king directly via the shared PS_KING plane, making a K factor redundant here; one variable at a time.
