## 2. Tier 1: Experiment Tracking & Storage

### 2.1 Experiment Tracking Module (#31)

**Toyota Principle:** Genchi Genbutsu (go and see) - Real-time visibility into training runs enables immediate problem detection.

> **Validation [7]:** Validates our experiment tracking API design; MLflow's tracking server architecture informs our REST API and storage abstraction.

#### Design

```rust
pub struct Experiment {
    pub id: ExperimentId,
    pub name: String,
    pub description: Option<String>,
    pub tags: HashMap<String, String>,
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub storage: Box<dyn ExperimentStorage>,
}

pub struct Run {
    pub id: RunId,
    pub experiment_id: ExperimentId,
    pub status: RunStatus,
    pub start_time: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub end_time: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    pub params: HashMap<String, ParameterValue>,
    pub metrics: Vec<MetricRecord>,
    pub artifacts: Vec<ArtifactRef>,
}

pub trait ExperimentStorage: Send + Sync {
    fn create_experiment(&self, name: &str) -> Result<Experiment>;
    fn start_run(&self, experiment_id: &ExperimentId) -> Result<Run>;
    fn log_param(&self, run_id: &RunId, key: &str, value: ParameterValue) -> Result<()>;
    fn log_metric(&self, run_id: &RunId, key: &str, value: f64, step: Option<u64>) -> Result<()>;
    fn log_artifact(&self, run_id: &RunId, path: &Path, data: &[u8]) -> Result<ArtifactRef>;
    fn finish_run(&self, run_id: &RunId, status: RunStatus) -> Result<()>;
}
```

#### Pre-flight Validation (Jidoka)

> **Validation [10]:** Establishes that pre-flight data validation catches 30-50% of ML pipeline failures before training, supporting our Jidoka-inspired preflight system.

```rust
pub struct Preflight {
    checks: Vec<PreflightCheck>,
}

impl Preflight {
    /// Validate data integrity before training starts
    pub fn check_data_integrity(&mut self, data: &Dataset) -> Result<&mut Self> {
        // Check for NaN/Inf values
        // Validate label distribution
        // Check feature statistics
        Ok(self)
    }

    /// Validate environment (GPU memory, disk space)
    pub fn check_environment(&mut self) -> Result<&mut Self>;
}
```

### 2.2 Sovereign Database Backend (#68)

**Toyota Principle:** Heijunka (leveling) - SQLite provides consistent, predictable performance without external dependencies.

**CRITICAL DECISION:** Prefer SQLite over PostgreSQL for sovereign, local-first architecture.

#### Rationale

| Factor | SQLite | PostgreSQL |
|--------|--------|------------|
| Deployment | Zero-config | Server required |
| Sovereignty | Full local control | External dependency |
| Latency | Sub-ms | Network RTT |
| Concurrency | Write-lock (acceptable for single-user) | Full MVCC |
| Backup | File copy | pg_dump |
| WASM support | sql.js available | N/A |

#### Implementation

```rust
pub struct SqliteBackend {
    pool: Pool<Sqlite>,
    path: PathBuf,
}

impl SqliteBackend {
    pub fn new(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Self> {
        let pool = SqlitePoolOptions::new()
            .max_connections(1)  // SQLite write serialization
            .connect_lazy(&format!("sqlite:{}", path.as_ref().display()))?;
        Ok(Self { pool, path: path.as_ref().to_path_buf() })
    }
}

impl ExperimentStorage for SqliteBackend {
    // Full implementation of ExperimentStorage trait
    // Schema migrations via refinery
}
```

#### Schema (SQLite-optimized)

```sql
-- experiments.sql
CREATE TABLE experiments (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    name TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    description TEXT,
    config_json TEXT,  -- JSONB alternative
    created_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
    updated_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
);

CREATE TABLE runs (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    experiment_id TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES experiments(id),
    status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'running',
    start_time TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
    end_time TEXT,
    FOREIGN KEY (experiment_id) REFERENCES experiments(id)
);

CREATE TABLE params (
    run_id TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES runs(id),
    key TEXT NOT NULL,
    value_type TEXT NOT NULL,  -- 'string', 'int', 'float', 'bool', 'json'
    value_data TEXT NOT NULL,
    logged_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
    PRIMARY KEY (run_id, key)
);

CREATE TABLE metrics (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    run_id TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES runs(id),
    key TEXT NOT NULL,
    value REAL NOT NULL,
    step INTEGER,
    timestamp TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
    FOREIGN KEY (run_id) REFERENCES runs(id)
);

CREATE INDEX idx_metrics_run_key ON metrics(run_id, key);
CREATE INDEX idx_metrics_step ON metrics(run_id, step);

CREATE TABLE artifacts (
    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    run_id TEXT NOT NULL REFERENCES runs(id),
    path TEXT NOT NULL,
    size_bytes INTEGER NOT NULL,
    sha256 TEXT NOT NULL,
    storage_uri TEXT NOT NULL,
    created_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
    FOREIGN KEY (run_id) REFERENCES runs(id)
);
```

### 2.3 Parameter Logging API (#73)

**Toyota Principle:** Standardized Work - Consistent parameter tracking enables reproducibility.

```rust
pub enum ParameterValue {
    String(String),
    Int(i64),
    Float(f64),
    Bool(bool),
    List(Vec<ParameterValue>),
    Dict(HashMap<String, ParameterValue>),
}

impl ExperimentStorage {
    /// Log single parameter
    fn log_param(&mut self, run_id: &str, key: &str, value: ParameterValue) -> Result<()>;

    /// Log multiple parameters (batch for efficiency)
    fn log_params(&mut self, run_id: &str, params: HashMap<String, ParameterValue>) -> Result<()>;

    /// Query runs by parameter filters
    fn search_runs_by_params(&self, filters: &[ParamFilter]) -> Result<Vec<Run>>;
}

pub struct ParamFilter {
    pub key: String,
    pub op: FilterOp,
    pub value: ParameterValue,
}

pub enum FilterOp {
    Eq, Ne, Gt, Lt, Gte, Lte, Contains, StartsWith,
}
```

---

## 3. Tier 2: Model Lifecycle Management

### 3.1 Model Staging Workflows (#70)

**Toyota Principle:** Kanban - Visual workflow stages for model promotion with pull-based progression.

```rust
pub enum ModelStage {
    None,
    Development,
    Staging,
    Production,
    Archived,
}

pub struct ModelVersion {
    pub name: String,
    pub version: u32,
    pub stage: ModelStage,
    pub metrics: HashMap<String, f64>,
    pub artifact_uri: String,
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub promoted_at: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
    pub promoted_by: Option<String>,
}

pub trait ModelRegistry {
    /// Transition model to new stage (with validation)
    fn transition_stage(
        &mut self,
        name: &str,
        version: u32,
        target_stage: ModelStage,
        promoter: Option<&str>,
    ) -> Result<()>;

    /// Compare two versions (metrics diff)
    fn compare_versions(&self, name: &str, v1: u32, v2: u32) -> VersionComparison;

    /// Get latest model at stage
    fn get_latest_by_stage(&self, name: &str, stage: ModelStage) -> Option<ModelVersion>;

    /// Automatic rollback on performance regression
    fn enable_auto_rollback(&mut self, name: &str, metric: &str, threshold: f64);
}
```

#### Promotion Rules (Poka-yoke)

```rust
pub struct PromotionPolicy {
    pub required_metrics: Vec<MetricRequirement>,
    pub min_test_coverage: f64,
    pub required_approvals: u32,
    pub auto_promote_on_pass: bool,
}

pub struct MetricRequirement {
    pub name: String,
    pub comparison: Comparison,
    pub threshold: f64,
}

// Example: Production requires accuracy > 0.95 and latency_p99 < 100ms
let policy = PromotionPolicy {
    required_metrics: vec![
        MetricRequirement { name: "accuracy".into(), comparison: Gte, threshold: 0.95 },
        MetricRequirement { name: "latency_p99_ms".into(), comparison: Lte, threshold: 100.0 },
    ],
    min_test_coverage: 0.90,
    required_approvals: 2,
    auto_promote_on_pass: false,
};
```

### 3.2 REST/HTTP API (#67)

**Toyota Principle:** Jidoka - Remote access enables team-wide visibility with built-in quality stops.

```rust
// Using axum for async HTTP server
pub struct TrackingServer {
    storage: Arc<dyn ExperimentStorage>,
    config: ServerConfig,
}

impl TrackingServer {
    pub async fn run(&self, addr: SocketAddr) -> Result<()> {
        let app = Router::new()
            .route("/api/v1/experiments", get(list_experiments).post(create_experiment))
            .route("/api/v1/experiments/:id", get(get_experiment))
            .route("/api/v1/runs", get(list_runs).post(create_run))
            .route("/api/v1/runs/:id", get(get_run).patch(update_run))
            .route("/api/v1/runs/:id/params", post(log_params))
            .route("/api/v1/runs/:id/metrics", post(log_metrics))
            .route("/api/v1/runs/:id/artifacts", post(upload_artifact))
            .route("/health", get(health_check))
            .layer(TraceLayer::new_for_http())
            .with_state(self.storage.clone());

        axum::Server::bind(&addr).serve(app.into_make_service()).await?;
        Ok(())
    }
}
```

#### CLI Server Mode

```bash
# Start tracking server (default: SQLite backend)
entrenar server --port 5000

# With explicit database path
entrenar server --port 5000 --db ./experiments.db

# Remote tracking from client
export ENTRENAR_TRACKING_URI=http://localhost:5000
entrenar train config.yaml
```

## 4. Tier 3: Hyperparameter Optimization

### 4.1 Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization (#69)

**Toyota Principle:** Kaizen - Continuous improvement through intelligent search.

```rust
pub enum SearchStrategy {
    Grid,
    Random { n_samples: usize },
    Bayesian {
        n_initial: usize,
        acquisition: AcquisitionFunction,
        surrogate: SurrogateModel,
    },
    Hyperband {
        max_iter: usize,
        eta: f64,  // Reduction factor (typically 3)
    },
}

pub enum AcquisitionFunction {
    ExpectedImprovement,
    UpperConfidenceBound { kappa: f64 },
    ProbabilityOfImprovement,
}

pub enum SurrogateModel {
    GaussianProcess { kernel: Kernel },
    RandomForest { n_trees: usize },
    TPE,  // Tree-structured Parzen Estimator
}

pub struct HyperparameterSpace {
    params: HashMap<String, ParameterDomain>,
}

pub enum ParameterDomain {
    Continuous { low: f64, high: f64, log_scale: bool },
    Discrete { low: i64, high: i64 },
    Categorical { choices: Vec<String> },
}
```

#### TPE Implementation (Bergstra et al., 2011) [1]

> **Validation [1]:** Establishes Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (TPE) as superior to random search for hyperparameter optimization, achieving 2-10x speedup in finding optimal configurations.

```rust
pub struct TPEOptimizer {
    gamma: f64,  // Quantile for splitting good/bad
    n_startup: usize,
    kde_bandwidth: f64,
}

impl TPEOptimizer {
    pub fn suggest(&self, trials: &[Trial]) -> HashMap<String, ParameterValue> {
        if trials.len() < self.n_startup {
            return self.random_sample();
        }

        // Split trials into good (l) and bad (g) by gamma quantile
        let (l_trials, g_trials) = self.split_by_quantile(trials, self.gamma);

        // Build KDE for each parameter
        let suggestions = self.space.params.iter().map(|(name, domain)| {
            let l_kde = self.fit_kde(&l_trials, name, domain);
            let g_kde = self.fit_kde(&g_trials, name, domain);

            // Sample from l(x) / g(x) - maximize EI
            let value = self.sample_ei_ratio(&l_kde, &g_kde, domain);
            (name.clone(), value)
        }).collect();

        suggestions
    }
}
```

#### Hyperband Successive Halving (Li et al., 2018) [2]

> **Validation [2]:** Demonstrates that successive halving with early stopping achieves equivalent results with 5-30x less computation than grid search.

```rust
pub struct HyperbandScheduler {
    max_iter: usize,  // Maximum resources (e.g., epochs)
    eta: f64,         // Reduction factor
}

impl HyperbandScheduler {
    pub fn run<F>(&self, space: &HyperparameterSpace, objective: F) -> Result<Trial>
    where
        F: Fn(&HashMap<String, ParameterValue>, usize) -> f64,
    {
        let s_max = (self.max_iter as f64).log(self.eta).floor() as usize;
        let B = (s_max + 1) * self.max_iter;

        let mut best_trial = None;

        for s in (0..=s_max).rev() {
            let n = ((B as f64 / self.max_iter as f64) *
                     (self.eta.powi(s as i32) / (s + 1) as f64)).ceil() as usize;
            let r = self.max_iter / self.eta.powi(s as i32) as usize;

            // Generate n random configurations
            let mut configs: Vec<_> = (0..n)
                .map(|_| space.sample_random())
                .collect();

            // Successive halving
            for i in 0..=s {
                let n_i = (n as f64 / self.eta.powi(i as i32)).floor() as usize;
                let r_i = r * self.eta.powi(i as i32) as usize;

                // Evaluate configs with r_i resources
                let mut results: Vec<_> = configs.iter()
                    .map(|c| (c.clone(), objective(c, r_i)))
                    .collect();

                // Keep top 1/eta configurations
                results.sort_by(|a, b| a.1.partial_cmp(&b.1).unwrap());
                let keep = (n_i as f64 / self.eta).floor() as usize;
                configs = results.into_iter().take(keep).map(|(c, _)| c).collect();
            }

            // Update best
            if let Some(config) = configs.first() {
                let score = objective(config, self.max_iter);
                if best_trial.as_ref().map_or(true, |b: &Trial| score < b.score) {
                    best_trial = Some(Trial { config: config.clone(), score });
                }
            }
        }

        best_trial.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("No trials completed"))
    }
}
```

## 5. Tier 4: GPU & System Monitoring

### 5.1 btop-Style GPU Monitoring (#74)

**Toyota Principle:** Andon - Visual alerting system for immediate problem detection.

> **Validation [6]:** Chapter 4's Andon system (visual alerting) directly informs our GPU monitoring and alert architecture.

```rust
/// GPU metrics snapshot (via NVML)
pub struct GpuMetrics {
    pub device_id: u32,
    pub name: String,
    pub utilization_percent: u32,
    pub memory_used_mb: u64,

}

pub struct GpuMonitor {
    nvml: Option<Nvml>,  // Optional for graceful degradation
    devices: Vec<Device>,
}

impl GpuMonitor {
    pub fn new() -> Result<Self> {
        // Dynamic loading via dlopen for optional GPU support
        match Nvml::init() {
            Ok(nvml) => {
                let count = nvml.device_count()?;
                let devices = (0..count)
                    .filter_map(|i| nvml.device_by_index(i).ok())
                    .collect();
                Ok(Self { nvml: Some(nvml), devices })
            }
            Err(_) => Ok(Self { nvml: None, devices: vec![] })

            Some(GpuMetrics {
                device_id: i as u32,

### 5.2 Prometheus Metrics Export (#24)

**Toyota Principle:** Andon - Integration with standard observability stacks.

```rust

        let epoch_loss = GaugeVec::new(
            Opts::new("entrenar_epoch_loss", "Training loss per epoch"),
            &["experiment", "run"],
        ).unwrap();
        registry.register(Box::new(epoch_loss.clone())).unwrap();

        // ... register other metrics

        Self { registry, epoch_loss, /* ... */ }
    }

## 6. Tier 5: LLM Evaluation & Privacy

### 6.1 LLM Evaluation Metrics (#71)

**Toyota Principle:** Genchi Genbutsu - Direct observation of LLM behavior through metrics.

### 7.2 Makefile Targets (#22)

**Toyota Principle:** Standardized Work - Consistent commands for all developers.

```makefile
# Makefile additions

# Examples
.PHONY: examples examples-fast examples-list

examples:
	@echo "Running all examples..."
	@for ex in $(shell ls examples/*.rs 2>/dev/null | xargs -I{} basename {} .rs); do \

```

### 7.3 Cloud Storage Backends (#72)

**Toyota Principle:** Heijunka - Level workloads across storage tiers.

```rust
pub enum ArtifactBackend {
    Local { path: PathBuf },
    S3 {
        bucket: String,
        prefix: String,
        region: Option<String>,
    },
    Azure {
        container: String,
        prefix: String,
    },
    Gcs {
        bucket: String,
        prefix: String,
    },
}

#[async_trait]
pub trait ArtifactStorage: Send + Sync {
    async fn upload(&self, key: &str, data: &[u8]) -> Result<String>;
    async fn download(&self, key: &str) -> Result<Vec<u8>>;
    async fn list(&self, prefix: &str) -> Result<Vec<String>>;
    async fn delete(&self, key: &str) -> Result<()>;
    fn get_uri(&self, key: &str) -> String;

    /// Generate presigned URL for download
    async fn presign_download(&self, key: &str, expires_in: Duration) -> Result<String>;
}

/// Content-addressable storage with SHA-256 deduplication
pub struct CasArtifactStorage<S: ArtifactStorage> {

    index: HashMap<String, String>,  // sha256 -> key
}

impl<S: ArtifactStorage> CasArtifactStorage<S> {
    pub async fn upload_dedup(&self, data: &[u8]) -> Result<String> {
        let sha256 = sha256_hex(data);

        if let Some(existing_key) = self.index.get(&sha256) {

## 8. Architecture Decisions

### 8.1 Sovereign SQLite vs. PostgreSQL

**Decision:** SQLite as primary backend; PostgreSQL as optional enterprise feature.

| Criterion | SQLite (Primary) | PostgreSQL (Optional) |
|-----------|------------------|----------------------|
| Deployment | Single file, zero config | Server process required |
| Data sovereignty | Full local control | Network dependency |
| WASM compatibility | Yes (sql.js) | No |
| Backup | File copy | pg_dump |
| Concurrent writes | Serialized (WAL mode helps) | Full MVCC |
| Recommended for | Single user, laptop, edge | Multi-user, server |

**Implementation:**

```rust
pub enum StorageBackend {
    Sqlite(SqliteBackend),
    #[cfg(feature = "postgres")]
    Postgres(PostgresBackend),
    Memory(InMemoryBackend),
}

impl StorageBackend {
    pub fn from_uri(uri: &str) -> Result<Self> {
        if uri.starts_with("sqlite:") || uri.ends_with(".db") {
            Ok(Self::Sqlite(SqliteBackend::new(&uri)?))
        } else if uri.starts_with("postgres://") {
            #[cfg(feature = "postgres")]
            return Ok(Self::Postgres(PostgresBackend::new(&uri)?));
            #[cfg(not(feature = "postgres"))]
            return Err(anyhow!("PostgreSQL support not compiled. Use --features postgres"));
        } else if uri == ":memory:" {
            Ok(Self::Memory(InMemoryBackend::new()))
        } else {
            Err(anyhow!("Unknown storage URI: {}", uri))
        }
    }
}
```

### 8.2 Async vs. Sync API

**Decision:** Async-first for I/O operations, sync wrappers for convenience.

```rust
// Async-first core
#[async_trait]
pub trait ExperimentStorageAsync {
    async fn log_metric(&self, run_id: &RunId, key: &str, value: f64) -> Result<()>;
}

// Sync wrapper for blocking contexts
pub struct SyncStorage<S: ExperimentStorageAsync> {
    inner: S,
    runtime: tokio::runtime::Runtime,
}

impl<S: ExperimentStorageAsync> SyncStorage<S> {
    pub fn log_metric(&self, run_id: &RunId, key: &str, value: f64) -> Result<()> {
        self.runtime.block_on(self.inner.log_metric(run_id, key, value))
    }
}
```
