Rbm::Params had no l1Lambda field at all -- L1 didn't exist anywhere in
the C++ codebase. Status::L1 was a dead field always -1 (never assigned
outside its constructor), and the GUI's "Lambda" control was explicitly
tooltipped "Unused" with an empty change-handler stub. Scaffolded, never
implemented.
Add Params::l1Lambda (default 0.0, inert unless set) with full toJson/
fromJson round-trip. Apply its subgradient (lambda*sign(W), matching
pyRBM's l1_lambda) directly to m_whv in Rbm::train, in the same place
and same decoupled-from-momentum manner as the weightDecay fix from the
previous commit -- folding it into inc_whv's momentum recursion would
cause the same momentum-amplification bug. Doesn't touch the biases,
matching pyRBM's state_adjust().
Also wire up Status::L1 to actually report something (the current L1
norm of the weights, sum(abs(W))) instead of permanently printing -1,
computed alongside status.err/err_total.
Inert by default (l1Lambda=0.0 in every existing .prj): confirmed via
unchanged poet.elf output and unchanged test-suite results (9 passed,
1 known issue, 2 failed).
