Seed lives on the shared options, and OptimizerBase.CreateSearchRandom states the contract plainly: "a run is a random variable. One that cannot be repeated cannot be debugged." The function-minimisation overloads kept it. Optimize(inputData) — the path a regression model actually uses — did not.

Fixing that surfaced the reason it was possible, so this PR does three things: fix the seeding, remove the duplicated state that let it hide, and gate the pattern so it cannot come back.

1. Seeding on the model-based path

Three generators ignored Options.Seed:

  • The shared generator was built before the options were assigned. Random = new() sat on the line above Options = options ?? …, so it could not have read a seed even in principle — and RandomlySelectFeatures and InitializeRandomSolution both draw from it.
  • The candidate perturbation made its own via a local CreateSecureRandom().
  • ParticleSwarmOptimizer and SimulatedAnnealingOptimizer each carried a private Random that no seed could reach. Both are deleted; they now draw from the inherited one.

DifferentialEvolutionOptimizer needed nothing — it already used CreateSearchRandom.

Option adoption is now a single ApplyOptions, used by both the constructor and Deserialize, so the two cannot drift and a future option-derived field is restored for free. Declared with MemberNotNull rather than a null-forgiving operator.

Deserialize does not clobber collaborators. Interface-typed properties carry no type information through the options JSON, so Newtonsoft rebuilds each as its property-initializer default — an optimizer configured with MeanSquaredErrorFitnessCalculator decodes holding RSquaredFitnessCalculator. Adopting the payload's collaborators wholesale would swap a caller's evaluator for a default on every restore, so the values are adopted and the live collaborators carried across.

2. The duplicated state underneath — 42 UpdateOptions overrides to 6

UpdateOptions was abstract, so all 42 concrete optimizers implemented it, and 36 were the same eight lines: downcast, assign to a private typed field, throw otherwise. That field was a second copy of state the base already owns.

They now read through a computed property over the base's single instance:

private AdamOptimizerOptions<T, TInput, TOutput> _options
    => (AdamOptimizerOptions<T, TInput, TOutput>)Options;

so the override has nothing to do and is deleted. UpdateOptions becomes virtual, to be overridden only to react to a new option set — six do, and keep both field and override.

This closes a second latent bug: base(model, options ?? new()) alongside _options = options ?? new AdamOptimizerOptions<>() builds two different default instances whenever the caller passes null, each blind to the other. There is now one instance.

3. A gate so it cannot regrow

AIDN077 makes new Random(...) or RandomHelper.Create* inside an OptimizerBase subclass a build error — not a warning. AIDN070076 are all in WarningsNotAsErrors because legacy code violates them; AIDN077 has zero violations the moment it lands, so it is deliberately not grandfathered. Proven by reintroducing the defect:

error AIDN077: 'RandomHelper.CreateSecureRandom()' creates a generator of its own; ...
error AIDN077: 'new Random(...)' creates a generator of its own; ...
build exit=1

Tests

Each fails against the wrong implementation and passes against this one — the control arm was run for every claim here.

  • Same-seed Optimize(inputData) returns the same BestFitnessScore. Without the fix, two same-seed constructions give (2072998746, 0.303) vs (493046785, 0.838).
  • Seeded generators for both particle swarm and simulated annealing, since the contract belongs to the base.
  • Deserialize adopts every option-derived field and preserves the collaborators.
  • Deserialize restores live adaptive state rather than re-seeding from options. This one exists to refuse a plausible change: calling ResetAdaptiveParameters() from Deserialize looks like it fixes staleness, but the state layer already carries live values — a mid-run optimizer serialized at inertia 0.137 comes back at 0.137, and that "fix" rewinds it to 0.42. I wrote that change before measuring; the test now blocks it.

Verification

  • 1693 of 1693 optimizer tests pass.
  • src builds clean on net10.0, net8.0 and net471.
  • Net −780 lines.

Review notes

  • Options, Random and the option-derived fields lost readonly so the deserialize path can adopt them. That is the widest-reaching part of the diff and the part most worth a human read.
  • The mechanical conversion was scripted, and two passes had to be redone — a regex over-reached into the six exception files, and RootMeanSquarePropagationOptimizer is a partial class whose override lives in another file. Both were caught by the compiler, not by inspection.

Course-side counterpart: ooples/AiDotNet.Optimization.Course#3 (independent, no dependency either way).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Optimizers now support reproducible runs when a seed is provided, including model-based optimization and stochastic algorithms.
    • Random behavior consistently follows the configured optimizer seed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Deserialized optimizers now restore their configured seed while preserving active collaborators and adaptive state.
    • Optimizer settings remain synchronized after loading or updating configurations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for seeded repeatability, deserialization, and state restoration.

Seed is on the shared options and OptimizerBase.CreateSearchRandom documents the
contract: "a run is a random variable. One that cannot be repeated cannot be debugged."
The function-minimisation overloads keep it. Optimize(inputData) did not, because three
generators on that path were built without ever consulting the seed.

OptimizerBase ran

    _model = model;
    Random = new();
    NumOps = ...;
    Options = options ?? new ...;

so the shared generator was constructed on the line ABOVE the Options assignment. It
could not have read a seed even had it tried, and RandomlySelectFeatures and
InitializeRandomSolution both draw from it. Reordered so Options is assigned first and
the generator derives from Options.Seed, via RandomHelper as the coding standard
requires rather than a bare new Random().

The candidate-perturbation loop in BuildDataDerivedRandomParameters created its own
CreateSecureRandom(). It now draws from the shared generator, since that perturbation
decides the parameters every candidate starts from.

ParticleSwarmOptimizer built its own field with CreateSecureRandom() in both
constructors, ignoring the seed outright; velocity initialisation and the cognitive and
social draws all come from it. Both constructors now derive it from the options, and
UpdateOptions refreshes it, because a generator still running on the previous seed would
contradict the options the optimizer reports. The field loses readonly for that reason.

DifferentialEvolutionOptimizer needed nothing - it already takes CreateSearchRandom.

Two tests, both failing before this change and passing after. The narrow one asserts the
generators directly and is the honest statement of what changed; without the fix it
reports

    Expected: Tuple (2072998746, 0.30262624952133105)
    Actual:   Tuple (493046785, 0.83774535955756224)

from two constructions with the SAME seed. The broader one asserts a same-seed
Optimize(inputData) returns the same BestFitnessScore, which is the behaviour callers
actually want. Equality rather than a tolerance is deliberate: a seed either determines
the run or it does not.

Verified: 1690 of 1690 optimizer tests pass, so seeding the shared generator regresses
nothing across the other optimizers that inherit it.

Walkthrough

OptimizerBase now owns seeded randomness and shared option state. Optimizers read typed options from the base instance. Deserialization restores seeds and live collaborators. Analyzer rules detect optimizer-owned random generators. Tests cover reproducibility and state restoration.

Changes

Seeded optimizer randomness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Base random source and restoration
src/Optimizers/OptimizerBase.cs
OptimizerBase creates Random from Options.Seed, reapplies options and live collaborators during deserialization, and uses the shared generator for perturbations.
Shared optimizer options
src/Optimizers/*.cs
Concrete optimizers derive typed options from OptimizerBase.Options. Duplicate option fields, constructor assignments, and UpdateOptions implementations are removed.
Optimizer random consumers

Particle swarm and simulated annealing use OptimizerBase.Random for stochastic operations.
Optimizer randomness analyzer
src/AiDotNet.Generators/GoldenPatternValidationGenerator.cs, src/AiDotNet.Generators/AnalyzerReleases.Unshipped.md
The generator reports optimizer-owned Random and RandomHelper construction as AIDN077. Other random construction continues to use AIDN072.
Seed and deserialization validation
tests/AiDotNet.Tests/IntegrationTests/Optimizers/MetaheuristicOptimizerIntegrationTests.cs, tests/AiDotNet.Tests/UnitTests/TextToSpeech/PaperOptimizerRestoreTests.cs
Tests verify seeded optimization, restored seeds, collaborator preservation, option consistency, adaptive state restoration, and reflection over computed properties.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c0eef

The PR centralizes seeded randomness and option restoration across the optimizer hierarchy, but merge readiness still needs owner follow-up: restored configuration may not trigger required reconfiguration, the new tests do not verify concrete restored option values, and certain default or failed-restore paths can leave inconsistent live state.

…r optimizer

Addresses both review findings, and takes the fix to the level it belonged at.

Deriving one class's generator from the seed was the wrong shape. A survey of all 60
files under src/Optimizers found the same private-generator pattern in
SimulatedAnnealingOptimizer, which would have kept the defect after a particle-swarm-only
fix, and nothing stops the next optimizer from adding another. So both private
generators are deleted and both classes now draw from the seeded Random that
OptimizerBase already owns. There is no longer a per-optimizer generator to forget to
seed. OptimizationDataBatcher was the only other hit and already seeds correctly.

That also dissolves the first review finding rather than patching it. UpdateOptions no
longer rebuilds anything, because the class holds nothing to rebuild.

The second half of that finding was real and is fixed at the same single point:
Deserialize handed restored options to UpdateOptions while the base kept its constructor
values, so a restored optimizer reported one seed and drew from another. The base now
adopts the restored options before handing them on, which fixes it for every optimizer
at once. Deliberately narrow - the collaborators cached at construction (FitDetector,
FitnessCalculator, the statistics options) are left alone, since replacing live
collaborators mid-lifetime is a separate concern from reproducibility.

The second finding was correct and the remarks were stale: they claimed
Optimize(inputData) was not reproducible and that the test only inspected generators.
Both were written while a sync test carrying Fact(Timeout) was failing with "Tests marked
with Timeout are only supported for async tests" - an infrastructure error I read as an
assertion failure. The tests are async with Task.Yield now, the Timeout guard works, and
the remarks describe what is actually asserted.

Tests follow the same move: the generator test covers particle swarm AND simulated
annealing, because the contract is the base class's rather than either optimizer's.

Verified: 1691 of 1691 optimizer tests pass.

…ze clobbering collaborators

The review was right that adopting Options and Random while leaving PredictionOptions,
ModelStatsOptions, FitDetector, FitnessCalculator and ModelCache on their constructor
values is a torn state. Adopting them literally, however, is worse - and the difference
is measurable.

Interface-typed properties carry no type information through the options JSON, so
Newtonsoft rebuilds each as its property initializer's default. Measured: an optimizer
configured with MeanSquaredErrorFitnessCalculator serializes, and the payload comes back
holding RSquaredFitnessCalculator, the default. Adopting the payload's collaborators
would therefore swap a caller's evaluator, fit detector and cache for defaults on every
deserialize - silently, and on a path whose entire purpose is to restore configuration.
An earlier probe of mine looked like they round-tripped; they did not. Both sides simply
held the default, so "non-null" read as "restored".

So the restored payload contributes its VALUES, and the live collaborators are carried
onto it before adoption. Options and the cached fields then agree, which is the property
the review actually asked for, without a deserialize quietly replacing configuration.

Adoption itself is now one method. ApplyOptions defines how an option set becomes state
and is the only thing that does; the constructor and Deserialize both route through it,
so they cannot drift and a future option-derived field is restored for free by being
added there. Declared with MemberNotNull rather than a null-forgiving operator, which the
coding standard forbids and which several call sites in this repo already model.

Verified: 1692 of 1692 optimizer tests pass; src builds clean on net10.0, net8.0 and
net471, so MemberNotNull holds on the framework target too.

…rror

A fix that has to be remembered is a fix that comes back. Two optimizers had already
built private generators that no seed could reach, and nothing stopped a third. AIDN077
closes the class rather than the instances.

Inside any type deriving from OptimizerBase, both spellings are refused:

    new Random(...)
    RandomHelper.CreateSecureRandom() / CreateSeededRandom(...)

because the base already exposes a Random derived from Options.Seed and re-derives it
when options are restored. OptimizerBase itself is exempt - it is the one type that must
build the generator, and where the seed is honoured for everything below it.

This is a HARD gate, unlike its neighbours. TreatWarningsAsErrors is on and AIDN070
through AIDN076 are each listed in WarningsNotAsErrors, because existing code violates
them and they are being paid down gradually. AIDN077 has zero violations the moment it
lands, so it is deliberately NOT added to that list and fails the build from day one.
Grandfathering it would have meant shipping a rule that never bites.

Proven by reintroducing the exact defect it exists to stop:

    error AIDN077: 'RandomHelper.CreateSecureRandom()' creates a generator of its own;
      draw from the inherited OptimizerBase.Random, which is built from Options.Seed
    error AIDN077: 'new Random(...)' creates a generator of its own; ...

Errors, not warnings, and the build exits nonzero. With the defect removed the same
build is clean on net10.0, net8.0 and net471, which also shows OptimizerBase's own
exemption works rather than merely being written down.

Registered in AnalyzerReleases.Unshipped.md. The category there must match the
descriptor's Category constant exactly - AiDotNet.GoldenPattern, singular - or the
release tracker reports RS2001 against a rule that is otherwise fine.

…not the initial one

Chasing whether the 42 optimizers overriding UpdateOptions leave option-derived state
stale, this looked like a defect: the constructor seeds _currentInertia and its siblings
from Initial* on the options, and no UpdateOptions override re-runs
InitializeAdaptiveParameters, so a restored optimizer reads like it keeps the
configuration it was BUILT with.

It does not. Measured across a deserialize, driving the source's live value away from
its initial one first:

  BEFORE cur=0.91 opt=0.91 | AFTER cur=0.137 opt=0.42 | SRC cur=0.137 opt=0.42

The state layer carries the live values, so a mid-run optimizer serialized at inertia
0.137 comes back at 0.137 rather than at either side's Initial*. There is no staleness
to fix.

Which makes the obvious "fix" harmful. Calling ResetAdaptiveParameters() from Deserialize
overwrites restored state, silently rewinding a resumed optimizer to the start of its
schedule - and I had written exactly that before measuring. This test refuses it: against
that implementation it fails with

  Expected: 0.13700000000000001
  Actual:   0.41999999999999998

and passes against the current one. The distinction only appears when the live value is
driven away from the initial value, which is why the test sets it explicitly instead of
trusting a short run to diverge - an earlier attempt that skipped that step passed under
both implementations and proved nothing.

No production change. 379 optimizer tests pass.

…options overrides to 6

UpdateOptions was abstract, so all 42 concrete optimizers implemented it, and 36 of those
were the same eight lines: downcast the options, assign them to a private typed field,
throw otherwise. That field was a second copy of state the base already owns, and keeping
two copies in step is the only reason the method existed. Every new optimizer inherited
the obligation, and any change to how options are held meant 42 edits.

Those 36 now read their typed options through a computed property over the base's single
instance:

    private AdamOptimizerOptions<T, TInput, TOutput> _options
        => (AdamOptimizerOptions<T, TInput, TOutput>)Options;

so the override has nothing to do and is deleted. UpdateOptions becomes virtual with a
no-op default, to be overridden only to REACT to a new option set. Six do: ADMM and
ProximalGradientDescent rebuild a regularizer, Bayesian updates a kernel,
GradientBasedOptimizerBase caches a scheduler mode, Lion re-seeds adaptive parameters,
Rprop validates hyperparameters. Those keep their field and their override.

This closes a latent bug rather than only removing noise. The constructors read

    : base(model, options ?? new())
    {
        _options = options ?? new AdamOptimizerOptions<T, TInput, TOutput>();

which builds TWO different default instances whenever the caller passes null - the base
holding one, the derived class the other, and a change to either invisible to the other.
There is now one instance and no way to desynchronise them.

Adam8BitOptimizer's hand-rolled Deserialize also kept its own copy of the options JSON.
The read stays, because the stream position depends on it and a malformed payload must
still fail there, but the value is discarded: base.Deserialize has already adopted the
authoritative copy.

Stacked on fix/pso-honours-its-seed and depends on it. That branch makes the base adopt
restored options in Deserialize; without it, a computed property would read the
constructor's options after a restore rather than the restored ones.

Verified: 1693 of 1693 optimizer tests pass, and src builds clean on net10.0, net8.0 and
net471. Net -783 lines.

PerfIntent leases are keyed to a baseline measurement rather than to the causing commit,
so they expire when the baseline advances instead of suppressing forever. The census
baseline has moved from 9e2d503 to 969f198, so all three RepViT-SAM declarations
stopped matching - the expiry working exactly as designed, not a new regression.

Most environments have since absorbed the growth into their own baseline and no longer
compare against the pre-change level at all, which is why this PR's census currently
reports zero errors. Environments whose baseline still sits at the older level do still
compare, and PR #2055 hit precisely that: RepViTSAMTests peakWorkingSetBytes regressed
1.79x (437,084,160 -> 781,426,688) with no lease left to cover it.

Re-keyed to 969f198 so the declaration applies wherever the comparison still happens.
The reasons are unchanged apart from a note recording why the key moved.

…ators by identity

Two review findings, both valid, and the first one found a real gap in the test rather
than only a stylistic one.

The collaborator test asserted the restored FitnessCalculator was
RSquaredFitnessCalculator - which is ALSO the default the options JSON decodes to, since
interface-typed properties carry no type information through it. So the assertion passed
whether the live instance was preserved or silently replaced by the decoded default: the
two outcomes it exists to separate were indistinguishable. It now captures the instances
before restoring and asserts identity.

Rewriting it that way immediately failed, and the failure was informative. PredictionOptions
and ModelStatsOptions are CONCRETE classes, so they do carry their type through the JSON
and the decoded instance is the restored configuration - preserving the originals there
would discard what was restored. The test now states the split it should have stated all
along: identity for the three interface-typed collaborators that cannot travel, and
NotSame for the two concrete option objects that can.

IsInsideOptimizer matched any base type NAMED OptimizerBase, so AIDN077 would fire on an
unrelated hierarchy that happens to use the name - a consumer's own base class, or a test
double - reporting against code that inherits no seeded generator and has nothing to draw
from instead. It now resolves AiDotNet.Optimizers.OptimizerBase`3 from the compilation and
compares with SymbolEqualityComparer.Default, which is already this file's convention.

Verified: 95 of 95 tests in the touched area pass, src builds clean on net10.0, net8.0 and
net471, and the gate still bites - reintroducing both spellings of the defect still fails
the build with error AIDN077, so the symbol lookup resolves rather than silently missing.

… refactor

A real regression this PR introduced, and one my shard-level triage missed.

PaperOptimizerRestoreTests reached the optimizer's typed options by reflecting on a
FIELD named _options. This PR turned that field into a computed property over
OptimizerBase.Options - one instance instead of two to keep in step - so the lookup
failed outright:

  System.InvalidOperationException : Field '_options' was not found.

The helper now looks for a field and then a property at each level of the hierarchy,
and is renamed GetPrivateMember to say so. What the test asserts is the VALUE the
optimizer was restored with, which is unchanged by where that value is stored.

Swept for the same shape elsewhere: this is the only test reflecting on _options,
_psoOptions, _saOptions or _normalOptions, and nothing under src/ reflects on them at
all, so no serialization or registry path depended on their being fields.

How it was missed is worth recording. I triaged the failing CI by SHARD - is this shard
also failing on the other PR or on master - which cannot see a single new test failing
inside a shard that was already red for other reasons. The ci-test-analysis artifact
does the comparison at TEST level and named it immediately. That artifact is the
authority for "did this PR break something", not the shard list.

…t fresh instances

NotSame proves only that something new was allocated. A default PredictionStatsOptions
put there in place of the payload would satisfy it and still mean deserialize had
dropped the restored configuration - the same shape of gap as asserting a type that
happens to be the JSON fallback default.

The source optimizer now carries distinguishable non-default values - ConfidenceLevel
0.777, LearningCurveSteps 23, MaxVIF 42, against defaults of 0.95, 10 and 10 - and the
test asserts those exact values on the restored instance. The identity assertions are
kept, so both halves are pinned: the interface-typed collaborators are the SAME objects,
and the concrete option objects are different objects carrying the SERIALIZED values.

Also merged a duplicated remarks block on UpdateOptions and recorded why its default is
empty: under the previous abstract contract every optimizer was forced to implement the
method, and 33 of the 34 owning adaptive parameters still did not re-seed them from the
new options - only LionOptimizer did. Compulsion produced boilerplate, not correctness.

Verified: the test passes, and src builds clean.
