Telemetry validation pipeline: catch bad data before SNN training

Problem

Telemetry data sometimes had bugs that went unnoticed during training. Corrupted inputs (stuck values, NaN, zero deltas, out-of-range) can push all SNN weights in the same direction, producing the monotonic weight artifact seen in the model.

Data Sources at Risk

  • Hardware telemetry (GPU NVML): Sensor reads can return stale or NaN values
  • HFT market data: Exchange API disconnects produce gaps or zero-fill
  • Crypto sync nodes: Node crashes produce incomplete epoch data
  • FPGA supervisor: Online learning on hardware may have fed corrupted readings

Proposed Solution

  1. Pre-ingestion validator: Check every telemetry record for NaN, Inf, stuck values, zero deltas, out-of-range before it reaches the SNN
  2. Anomaly detection: Flag sudden jumps or flatlines in hashrate, power, temperature
  3. Training logging: Save telemetry snapshots alongside weight updates so bad data can be traced
  4. Retrospective analysis: Audit existing training logs for data quality issues

Expected Impact

Clean telemetry in means clean weights out. This is the most likely root cause of the monotonic weight pattern.
