## 1. Philosophy & Principles (The Toyota Way)

This document establishes the standard work for executing and validating the `entrenar` machine learning ecosystem. We adhere to the 4 P's of the Toyota Way:

1.  **Philosophy**: Long-term systems thinking. We value safety and reliability over short-term speed. "Human life is at stake."
2.  **Process**: Eliminate waste (*Muda*). Build quality in (*Jidoka*). Create continuous flow. Use visual control.
3.  **People**: Respect partners and challenge them to grow.
4.  **Problem Solving**: Go and see (*Genchi Genbutsu*) to understand the situation. Decide slowly, implement rapidly.

Every example below represents a **Standardized Work** instruction. The 25-point QA checklist is our **Poka-Yoke** (mistake-proofing) mechanism to ensure zero defects in mission-critical AI models.

6. [ ] **Source Integrity**: Input SHA256 hashes match manifest.
7. [ ] **Normalization**: Input features scaled (0-1 or -1 to 1) correctly.
8. [ ] **Splitting**: Train/Val/Test split is stratified and leak-free.
9. [ ] **Augmentation**: Augmentations are deterministic (fixed seed).
10. [ ] **Format**: Data types (f32/f16) match hardware capabilities.

**Compute & Resources** (Trueno/Depyler)
11. [ ] **Resource Cap**: Memory usage < 90% of available RAM/VRAM.
12. [ ] **Compute Affinity**: Process pinned to correct CPU cores/GPU device.
13. [ ] **Thermal Safety**: System temperatures monitored during run.
14. [ ] **Energy Budget**: Est. energy cost < approved budget.

**Process & Training** (Entrenar)
16. [ ] **Convergence**: Loss curve shows monotonic decrease (smoothed).
17. [ ] **Generalization**: Validation loss tracks training loss (no divergence).
18. [ ] **Precision**: No underflow/overflow in mixed-precision ops.
19. [ ] **Determinism**: Global seed produces bit-exact reproduction.
20. [ ] **Checkpointing**: Atomic writes for model states; no corruption on crash.

**Output & Artifacts** (Aprender/Ruchy)
21. [ ] **Format Validity**: Output `.apr` or `.safetensors` passes validator.
22. [ ] **Explainability**: Saliency maps/attribution generated if required.
23. [ ] **Versioning**: Artifact tagged with git commit and config hash.

## Appendix A: Peer Review & Academic Annotations

### Review Summary

**Reviewer**: Claude Code (Automated Analysis)
**Date**: 2025-11-30
**Verdict**: **APPROVED WITH ANNOTATIONS**

This specification demonstrates rigorous adherence to lean manufacturing principles adapted for ML systems engineering. The 25-point QA checklist and 100 execution scenarios provide comprehensive coverage of safety-critical ML deployment concerns.

---

### Annotation 1: Toyota Production System Adaptation (Section 1)

**Observation**: The adaptation of Jidoka (autonomation) and Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing) to ML training is well-founded.

**Academic Support**:
> [1] Liker, J.K. (2004). "The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer." *McGraw-Hill Education*. ISBN: 978-0071392310.

The document correctly identifies the 4 P's (Philosophy, Process, People, Problem Solving). The mapping of Jidoka to NaN/Inf detection (Checklist items 2, 7, 59) aligns with the original intent of "stopping to fix problems" before propagation.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- `max_cyclomatic = 10` supports the "build quality in" principle by keeping functions small and testable
- `min_coverage = 90` enforces the "no defects passed downstream" philosophy

---

### Annotation 2: Reproducibility & Determinism (Scenarios 5, 19, 60)

**Observation**: Deterministic replay (seed=42, bit-exact reproduction) is essential for scientific validity.

**Academic Support**:
> [2] Pineau, J., et al. (2021). "Improving Reproducibility in Machine Learning Research." *Journal of Machine Learning Research*, 22(164):1-20. https://jmlr.org/papers/v22/20-303.html

The specification addresses the "reproducibility crisis" in ML by mandating:
- Fixed global seeds (Scenario 5)
- Config lockfiles (Scenario 60)
- Feedback loop convergence verification (Scenario 19)

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- Property-based testing with 200K+ iterations catches non-determinism
- Mutation testing reveals hidden state dependencies

---

### Annotation 3: Gradient Checking & Numerical Stability (Scenarios 24, 28, 59)

**Observation**: Finite difference gradient validation is correctly specified as a quality gate.

**Academic Support**:
> [3] Baydin, A.G., et al. (2018). "Automatic Differentiation in Machine Learning: A Survey." *Journal of Machine Learning Research*, 18(153):1-43. https://jmlr.org/papers/v18/17-468.html

The specification requires gradient error < 1e-3 (CLAUDE.md), validated via:
```rust
let numerical = finite_diff(|x| softmax(x).sum(), &x, 1e-5);
prop_assert!((analytical - numerical).abs() < 1e-3);
```

This matches the survey's recommendation for numerical gradient checking during development.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- `min_mutation_score = 80` ensures gradient computation is thoroughly tested
- Property tests catch edge cases (large inputs, near-zero gradients)

---

### Annotation 4: Quantization-Aware Training (Scenarios 33, 64)

**Observation**: QAT with straight-through estimator (STE) for INT8 deployment is correctly scoped.

**Academic Support**:
> [4] Jacob, B., et al. (2018). "Quantization and Training of Neural Networks for Efficient Integer-Arithmetic-Only Inference." *IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)*, pp. 2704-2713. DOI: 10.1109/CVPR.2018.00286

The specification's QA focus "Accuracy drop < 1%" aligns with the paper's findings that proper QAT maintains model quality within this threshold for standard architectures.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- `target_dirs = ["src/quant/"]` ensures quantization code is mutation-tested
- Benchmark target: "Q4_0 quantize 1GB < 1s" is measurable and enforceable

---

### Annotation 5: LoRA & Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (Scenarios 31-32)

**Observation**: LoRA rank selection and memory reduction targets are well-specified.

**Academic Support**:
> [5] Hu, E., et al. (2022). "LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models." *International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR)*. https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685

The specification's "Trainable params < 1% of total" (Scenario 31) and "VRAM reduction > 50%" (Scenario 32) are consistent with LoRA's empirical results. The 4-bit QLoRA variant (Scenario 32) correctly targets memory-constrained deployments.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- Phase 3 tickets (ENT-016 through ENT-021) cover LoRA implementation
- 144 hours estimated aligns with complexity

---

### Annotation 6: Knowledge Distillation (Scenario 34-35)

**Observation**: Teacher-student training with temperature scaling is correctly specified.

**Academic Support**:
> [6] Hinton, G., Vinyals, O., & Dean, J. (2015). "Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network." *NIPS Deep Learning Workshop*. https://arxiv.org/abs/1503.02531

The QA focus "Student matches 90% of teacher performance" is a reasonable target based on the original distillation paper's findings. The specification correctly identifies temperature-scaled softmax as the core mechanism.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- Phase 7 tickets (ENT-037 through ENT-040) cover distillation
- 64 hours is appropriate for this well-understood technique

---

### Annotation 7: Model Merging (Scenario 36)

**Observation**: TIES merging with trim + sign election is correctly identified.

**Academic Support**:
> [7] Yadav, P., et al. (2023). "TIES-Merging: Resolving Interference When Merging Models." *NeurIPS 2023*. https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.01708

The specification's QA focus "Merged model outperforms individuals on combined task" captures the key value proposition. The density parameter (0.2 in config example) aligns with TIES recommendations.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- Phase 5 tickets (ENT-028 through ENT-032) cover merging
- TIES, DARE, SLERP methods are all specified

---

### Annotation 8: Differential Privacy (Scenario 73)

**Observation**: DP-epsilon specification for privacy guarantees is well-formed.

**Academic Support**:
> [8] Abadi, M., et al. (2016). "Deep Learning with Differential Privacy." *ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS)*, pp. 308-318. DOI: 10.1145/2976749.2978318

The specification's `--dp-epsilon 1.0` flag aligns with the DP-SGD framework. The QA focus "Noise injection verified" ensures the privacy mechanism is actually active.

**PMAT Alignment**: ⚠️ RECOMMENDATION
- Add explicit privacy budget tracking to monitoring scenarios
- Consider adding Rényi DP accounting for tighter bounds

---

### Annotation 9: Adversarial Robustness (Scenario 77)

**Observation**: FGSM attack testing is appropriate for baseline robustness.

**Academic Support**:
> [9] Goodfellow, I.J., Shlens, J., & Szegedy, C. (2015). "Explaining and Harnessing Adversarial Examples." *International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR)*. https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6572

The QA focus "Accuracy under attack > 50%" is a reasonable baseline. However, FGSM is a weak attack—consider adding PGD (Projected Gradient Descent) for stronger robustness verification.

**PMAT Alignment**: ⚠️ RECOMMENDATION
- Add PGD attack scenario for comprehensive robustness testing
- Consider AutoAttack ensemble for publication-grade claims

---

### Annotation 10: Fault Localization (Scenario 12)

**Observation**: Tarantula suspiciousness scoring is well-suited for compiler decision tracing.

**Academic Support**:
> [10] Jones, J.A., Harrold, M.J., & Stasko, J. (2002). "Visualization of Test Information to Assist Fault Localization." *International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE)*, pp. 467-477. DOI: 10.1145/581339.581397

The specification's "Suspiciousness score > 0.8 for known bug" threshold is aggressive but achievable for well-isolated faults. The Tarantula formula:
```
suspiciousness(s) = (failed(s)/totalfailed) / ((failed(s)/totalfailed) + (passed(s)/totalpassed))
```
is correctly applicable to compiler decision tracing in CITL.

**PMAT Alignment**: ✅
- Integration with PMAT's TDG scoring creates a unified quality view
- Fault localization aids in mutation testing triage

---

### Critical Review: Gaps & Recommendations

#### Gap 1: Missing Formal Verification
The specification lacks formal methods for safety-critical claims. For "human life at stake" scenarios (Section J), consider:
- Model checking for state machine properties
- Abstract interpretation for numerical bounds

#### Gap 2: Incomplete Explainability Coverage
Scenario 45 (Integrated Gradients) is good, but XAI research has advanced:
- Add SHAP values for feature attribution
- Add concept activation vectors (CAVs) for high-level explanations

#### Gap 3: Data Poisoning Baseline
Scenario 10 claims "Identify 100% of injected outliers"—this is unrealistic for sophisticated attacks. Revise to "Identify > 90% of obvious outliers" with a defined threat model.

#### Gap 4: Federated Learning Rigor
Scenario 78 (federated mock) needs:
- Secure aggregation protocol specification
- Byzantine fault tolerance requirements
