-| freqai.feature_parameters.label_horizon_candles | `label_period_candles` | int >= 1 | Number of candles after a label row before the label is considered known by causal split guards.

Used by causal split guards and `<label>_known_at_lookahead` metadata. When unset, falls back to `label_period_candles`. |
-| freqai.feature_parameters.causal_mode | true | bool | Causal split guard toggle.

+| freqai.label_weighting.aggregation | `arithmetic_mean` | enum {`arithmetic_mean`,`geometric_mean`,`harmonic_mean`,`quadratic_mean`,`weighted_median`,`softmax`} | Metric aggregation method for `combined` strategy. `arithmetic_mean`=(Σ(w·m)/Σ(w)), `geometric_mean`=(∏(m^w))^(1/Σw), `harmonic_mean`=Σ(w)/(Σ(w/m)), `quadratic_mean`=(Σ(w·m²)/Σ(w))^(1/2), `weighted_median`=Q₀.₅(m,w), `softmax`=Σ(m·s_i) where s_i=w_i·exp(m_i/T)/Σ(w_j·exp(m_j/T)). |
+| freqai.label_weighting.softmax_temperature | 1.0 | float > 0 | Temperature T for `softmax` aggregation, controls distribution sharpness. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_method | `zero` | enum {`zero`,`epsilon`,`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} | Off-pivot weighting scheme. `zero` hard-zeros off-pivot rows; `epsilon` applies the epsilon floor `fill_epsilon * <fill_epsilon_baseline>(pivot_weights)`; `gaussian` applies per-pivot Gaussian bumps; `epsilon_gaussian` sums the `epsilon` floor and the `gaussian` bumps. Pivot rows take the max of their raw weight and the off-pivot field at their index (no-op for `zero`). Switching away from `zero` may require retuning tree-leaf regularization (`min_child_weight`, `lambda`) and resetting any prior Optuna study. Changing this parameter requires deleting trained models. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon | 0.000001 | float [0,1] | Off-pivot fraction of the pivot baseline. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_epsilon_baseline | `mean` | enum {`mean`,`median`} | Pivot baseline statistic. `mean` tracks central tendency; `median` is robust against pivot-weight skew. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`epsilon`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_candles | 10.0 | float >= 0.5 | Gaussian standard deviation in candles for the per-pivot bumps. Acts as the upper bound on per-pivot sigma when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Lower bound 0.5 prevents severe underflow in the Gaussian tail. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_sigma_min_candles | 0.5 | float >= 0.5 | Lower bound on per-pivot sigma in candles when `fill_bandwidth == "knn"`. Clipped to `fill_sigma_candles` when larger. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth | `fixed` | enum {`fixed`,`knn`} | Per-pivot Gaussian bandwidth selector. `fixed` applies a constant `fill_sigma_candles` to every pivot (legacy behavior). `knn` adapts each pivot's sigma to local pivot density via `sigma_p = clip(fill_bandwidth_alpha * d_k(p), fill_sigma_min_candles, fill_sigma_candles)` where `d_k(p)` is the index distance to the `k`-th nearest pivot neighbor (Loftsgaarden & Quesenberry 1965; Silverman 1986, §5.2). Mitigates the crushing of weaker pivots by stronger neighbors in dense clusters. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`}. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_neighbors | 1 | int >= 1 | `k` for the k-nearest-neighbor bandwidth selector. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.fill_bandwidth_alpha | 0.5 | float > 0 | Multiplicative factor on the k-th neighbor distance. Smaller values produce sharper, more separated Gaussians; larger values approach the `fixed` behavior. Ignored when `fill_method` not in {`gaussian`,`epsilon_gaussian`} or `fill_bandwidth != "knn"`. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.support_policy | `fallback` | enum {`fallback`,`raise`} | Policy when active label weighting fails support checks (after row filtering and causal split guards). `raise` aborts the fit with `ValueError`; `fallback` logs a `WARNING` and uses sanitized base sample weights for that fit. Eval (test/val) weights bypass this policy and always fall back on composition errors. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.min_pivot_equivalent_count | 3 | int >= 1 | Minimum number of surviving pivot-equivalent label weights required after filtering. Pivot-equivalent rows are weights at least 10% of the surviving maximum label weight. |
+| freqai.label_weighting.min_positive_label_weight_fraction | 0.01 | float [0,1] | Minimum fraction of filtered training rows with finite positive label weights. |

+| freqai.label_pipeline.normalization | `maxabs` | enum {`maxabs`,`minmax`,`sigmoid`,`none`} | Normalization method applied to labels. `maxabs`=w/max(\|w\|), `minmax`=low+(w-min)/(max-min)·(high-low), `sigmoid`=2·σ(scale·w)-1, `none`=w. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.minmax_range | [-1.0, 1.0] | list[float] | Target range for `minmax` normalization, min and max. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.sigmoid_scale | 1.0 | float > 0 | Scale parameter for `sigmoid` normalization, controls steepness. |
+| freqai.label_pipeline.gamma | 1.0 | float (0,10] | Contrast exponent applied to labels after normalization: >1 emphasizes extrema, values between 0 and 1 soften. |
+| _Feature parameters_ | | | |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_period_candles | min/max midpoint | int >= 1 | Zigzag labeling NATR horizon. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.label_horizon_candles | `label_period_candles` | int >= 1 | Number of candles after a label row before the label is considered known by causal split guards.

Used by causal split guards and `<label>_known_at_lookahead` metadata. When unset, falls back to `label_period_candles`. |
+| freqai.feature_parameters.causal_mode | true | bool | Causal split guard toggle. When `true` (default): rejects `data_split_parameters.shuffle=true`, `shuffle_after_split=true`, `reverse_train_test_order=true`; for `timeseries_split` auto-sets `gap=label_horizon_candles` when unset/`0` (rejects explicit `gap<label_horizon_candles`); for `train_test_split` drops train rows where position `>=first_test_position-label_horizon_candles`; with `<label>_known_at_lookahead` columns, additionally drops rows where `local_position + row-wise max(<label>_known_at_lookahead) >= first_test_position`. `false` is deprecated; acausal baselines only. |
