### Data Flow (改善 Kaizen - Continuous Flow)

1. **Training emits metrics** → `MetricsCollector` (every batch/epoch)
2. **Collector aggregates** → SIMD via trueno (low overhead)
3. **Storage persists** → trueno-db time-series (Parquet backend)
4. **Visualization renders** → trueno-viz (terminal ASCII or PNG)
5. **Drift detection** → aprender anomaly detection
6. **Alerts trigger** → Andon system (stop-the-line on regression)
7. **Serving reports** → realizar hooks for production metrics

---

## 2. Problem Statement

### Current State

```
Training runs → stderr warnings → lost → no history
```

**Evidence from depyler-oracle (#154):**
- All 4 MoE experts failed silently
- Matrix singularity warnings ignored
- No accuracy metrics recorded
- Discovered only through manual investigation

### Gaps Identified

| Gap | Impact | Citation |
|-----|--------|----------|
| No metrics storage | Cannot track accuracy over time | [1] Sculley et al. 2015 |
| No drift detection | Silent model degradation | [2] Lu et al. 2018 |
| No training dashboard | Blind to convergence issues | [3] Amershi et al. 2019 |
| No A/B comparison | Cannot validate improvements | [4] Kohavi et al. 2020 |
| No alerting | Failures go unnoticed | [5] Breck et al. 2017 |

---

## 4. Component Design

### 4.1 Metrics Collection (trueno)

**Purpose:** Low-overhead metric aggregation using SIMD primitives.

```rust
use trueno::{Vector, Matrix};
use entrenar::monitor::{MetricsCollector, Metric};

// Zero-copy metric collection during training
let mut collector = MetricsCollector::new();

for epoch in 0..100 {
    let loss = train_epoch(&model, &data);
    let accuracy = evaluate(&model, &test_data);

    // SIMD-accelerated running statistics
    collector.record(Metric::Loss, loss);
    collector.record(Metric::Accuracy, accuracy);
    collector.record(Metric::LearningRate, optimizer.lr());
    collector.record(Metric::GradientNorm, gradients.norm());
}

// Aggregates computed via trueno::Vector operations
let stats = collector.summary();  // mean, std, min, max, percentiles
```

**Overhead Target:** <1% of training time (per [6] Lipton & Steinhardt 2018).

### 4.2 Time-Series Storage (trueno-db)

**Purpose:** Persist metrics for historical analysis and drift detection.

```rust
use trueno_db::{Database, TimeSeriesTable};

let db = Database::open("training_metrics.parquet")?;

// Schema: timestamp, model_id, metric_name, value
let metrics_table = db.create_table("metrics", &[
    ("timestamp", DataType::Timestamp),
    ("model_id", DataType::String),
    ("metric", DataType::String),
    ("value", DataType::Float64),
])?;

// Batch insert (GPU-accelerated if available)
metrics_table.insert_batch(&collector.to_records())?;

// SQL queries for analysis
let recent = db.query("
    SELECT metric, AVG(value), STDDEV(value)
    FROM metrics
    WHERE timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour'
    GROUP BY metric
")?;
```

### 4.3 Visualization (trueno-viz)

**Purpose:** Real-time training dashboards in terminal or PNG.

```rust
use trueno_viz::prelude::*;
use trueno_viz::output::{TerminalEncoder, TerminalMode};

// Loss curve over epochs
let loss_plot = LinePlot::new()
    .x(&epochs)
    .y(&losses)
    .title("Training Loss")
    .build()?;

// Accuracy comparison (train vs val)
let acc_plot = LinePlot::new()
    .series("train", &train_acc)
    .series("val", &val_acc)
    .title("Accuracy")
    .build()?;

// Render to terminal (ASCII mode for SSH)
let dashboard = Dashboard::new()
    .add(loss_plot, 0, 0)
    .add(acc_plot, 0, 1)
    .build()?;

TerminalEncoder::new()
    .mode(TerminalMode::Ascii)
    .refresh_rate(Duration::from_secs(1))
    .print(&dashboard);
```

### 4.4 Dependency Graphs (trueno-graph)

**Purpose:** Track model lineage and training dependencies.

```rust
use trueno_graph::{CsrGraph, NodeId};

let mut lineage = CsrGraph::new();

// Track model versions
let v1 = lineage.add_node("model_v1", ModelMetadata { accuracy: 0.85 })?;
let v2 = lineage.add_node("model_v2", ModelMetadata { accuracy: 0.87 })?;
let v3 = lineage.add_node("model_v3", ModelMetadata { accuracy: 0.82 })?;

// Track derivation (v1 → v2 via more data, v2 → v3 via hyperparameter change)
lineage.add_edge(v1, v2, "add_training_data")?;
lineage.add_edge(v2, v3, "tune_hyperparams")?;

// Query: Which training run caused regression?
let regression_source = lineage.find_regression_source(v3)?;
// Returns: v2 → v3 edge (hyperparameter change)
```

### 4.5 ML Diagnostics (aprender)

**Purpose:** Automated drift detection and anomaly alerting.

```rust
use aprender::metrics::drift::{DriftDetector, DriftConfig, DriftStatus};
use aprender::anomaly::IsolationForest;

// Drift detection (per [2] Lu et al. 2018)
let detector = DriftDetector::new(
    DriftConfig::default()
        .with_window_size(100)
        .with_threshold(0.05)  // 5% significance
);

let status = detector.detect_performance_drift(&baseline_acc, &current_acc);
match status {
    DriftStatus::NoDrift => {},
    DriftStatus::Warning(p) => println!("⚠️ Potential drift (p={})", p),
    DriftStatus::Drift(p) => trigger_andon("🛑 DRIFT DETECTED", p),
}

// Anomaly detection for training metrics
let forest = IsolationForest::new(100, 256);
forest.fit(&historical_metrics)?;
let anomaly_scores = forest.score_samples(&current_metrics);
```

### 4.6 Syscall-Level Tracing (renacer)

**Purpose:** Deep system-level anomaly detection using renacer patterns.

```rust
use renacer::{SlidingWindowBaseline, AnomalySeverity};

// Reuse renacer's anomaly detection for training metrics
let baseline = SlidingWindowBaseline::new(100);  // 100-sample window

for metric_value in training_metrics {
    baseline.update(metric_value);

    if let Some(anomaly) = baseline.detect_anomaly(metric_value, 3.0) {
        match anomaly.severity {
            AnomalySeverity::Low => log_warning(&anomaly),
            AnomalySeverity::Medium => trigger_alert(&anomaly),
            AnomalySeverity::High => trigger_andon(&anomaly),
        }
    }
}
```

**Patterns borrowed from renacer:**
- Sliding window baselines (per-metric independent windows)
- Z-score anomaly detection with configurable thresholds
- Severity classification (Low: 3-4σ, Medium: 4-5σ, High: >5σ)
- SIMD-accelerated percentile computation (P50, P90, P99)

### 4.6 Serving Hooks (realizar)

**Purpose:** Connect training metrics to production monitoring.

```rust
use realizar::metrics::{MetricsExporter, PrometheusFormat};

// Export training metrics in Prometheus format
let exporter = MetricsExporter::new()
    .format(PrometheusFormat)
    .endpoint("/metrics");

// Register training metrics
exporter.register_gauge("model_accuracy", "Current model accuracy");
exporter.register_histogram("inference_latency", "Inference latency distribution");

// Push metrics to realizar serving endpoint
exporter.push(&collector.summary())?;

// Production A/B comparison
let ab_result = realizar::ab_test(
    model_a: "model_v2",
    model_b: "model_v3",
    traffic_split: 0.1,  // 10% to new model
    metric: "accuracy",
)?;
```

### 4.7 Performance Assertions (renacer)

**Purpose:** Enforce performance budgets and "Stop the Line" (Andon) logic.

```rust
use renacer::assertions::{AssertionRunner, AssertionConfig};

// Load budgets from renacer.toml
let config = AssertionConfig::from_file("renacer.toml")?;
let mut runner = AssertionRunner::new(config);

// In training loop:
runner.check_latency("training_iteration", duration)?;
runner.check_memory("model_params", memory_usage)?;

// If budget exceeded:
// 1. renacer logs violation
// 2. Returns Result::Err if fail_on_violation = true
// 3. Triggers Andon signal
```

## 5. Toyota Way Integration

### 自働化 (Jidoka) - Automation with Human Touch

**Principle:** Automatically detect abnormalities, stop the line, alert humans.

| Trigger | Action | Human Escalation |
|---------|--------|------------------|
| Accuracy < threshold | Pause training | Alert: "Accuracy regression detected" |
| Loss divergence (NaN/Inf) | Stop immediately | Alert: "Training diverged" |
| Gradient explosion | Reduce LR automatically | Alert: "Gradient clipping triggered" |
| Renacer Budget Violated | **Andon Stop** | Alert: "Performance regression (Latency/Mem)" |

### 現地現物 (Genchi Genbutsu) - Go and See

**Principle:** Real data, not assumptions. Metrics must reflect actual training.

```rust
// Every metric must be measured, not inferred
assert!(collector.is_measured(Metric::Accuracy));  // Not estimated
assert!(collector.sample_count() >= MIN_SAMPLES);  // Statistically valid
```

### 改善 (Kaizen) - Continuous Improvement

**Principle:** Track improvement over time, identify regressions.

```rust
// Model lineage tracks improvement
let improvement = lineage.compare(v1, v3);
// Returns: accuracy +2%, latency -15%, size -10%
```

### 反省 (Hansei) - Reflection

**Principle:** Post-training analysis to identify root causes of failures.

```rust
// Automatic post-mortem generation
let report = monitor.generate_postmortem(training_run_id);
// Includes: convergence analysis, anomaly timeline, recommendations
```

---

## 6. API Specification

    fn is_anomaly(&self, value: f64) -> bool;
    fn anomaly_score(&self, value: f64) -> f64;
}

    fn update(&mut self, metrics: &MetricsSummary);
    fn render(&self) -> Result<Framebuffer>;
    fn save_png(&self, path: &Path) -> Result<()>;
}
```

let monitor = Monitor::builder()
    .storage(TruenoDB::open("metrics.parquet")?)
    .visualizer(TruenoViz::terminal())
    .drift_detector(DriftDetector::default())
    .assertions(Renacer::from_config("renacer.toml")?)

    handlers: Vec<Box<dyn AlertHandler>>,
}

impl AndonSystem {
    pub fn trigger(&self, alert: Alert) {
        // Renacer determines if this is a stop-the-line event
        if self.renacer.should_stop(&alert) {
            self.stop_training();
            self.notify_all(&alert);
            self.create_incident(&alert);
        } else {

        }
    }
}
```

**From [1] Sculley (Technical Debt):**
> "Only a small fraction of real-world ML systems is composed of the ML code... monitoring is critical infrastructure."

Applied: Monitor module is first-class, not afterthought.

**From [5] Breck (ML Test Score):**
> "Tests for model staleness... tests for NaN, Inf... tests for training-serving skew."

Applied: Andon triggers for NaN/Inf, drift detection for staleness.

**From [8] Polyzotis (TFX):**
> "Data validation should be automated and continuous."

Applied: trueno-db stores all metrics; queries enable automated validation.
