"""The learning core: exponentially-weighted recursive least squares. Why RLS rather than an off-the-shelf gradient learner: * It is the exact minimiser of the exponentially weighted squared error at every step, not an approximation, so it converges in far fewer samples than SGD. On a station that produces 288 rows a day, sample efficiency is not a nicety. * The covariance `P` is a genuine parameter-uncertainty estimate, free. * One matrix of size (d, d) with d ~ 33 is 8 kB. The whole model bank fits in L2 cache on a Cortex-A53. * Forgetting factor `lambda` gives principled adaptation to season and to sensor ageing without any retraining schedule. Directional forgetting is used: `P` is only inflated along directions that were actually excited by data. Plain forgetting blows `P` up exponentially during quiet nights when the regressor is nearly constant, and the model then detonates on the first sunrise. This is the single most common way an RLS deployment fails in the field.
