+# Implementation Summary: Training Stability and Disk Space Optimization
+
+## Issues Addressed
+
+1. **Disk Space Errors**: "No space left on device" errors during model saving operations
+2. **Matrix Multiplication Errors**: Shape mismatches in neural network operations
+3. **TorchScript Compatibility Issues**: Errors when attempting to use `torch.jit.save()` 
+4. **Training Crashes**: Unhandled exceptions in saving process
+
+## Solutions Implemented
+
+### Disk Space Optimization
+
+1. **Compact Model Saving**
+   - Created minimal checkpoint files with essential data only
+   - Implemented multiple fallback mechanisms for different disk space scenarios
+   - Added JSON parameter saving as a last resort
+   - Integrated model quantization (INT8) for reduced file sizes
+
+2. **Automatic File Cleanup**
+   - Added automatic cleanup of older checkpoint files
+   - Implemented "aggressive cleanup" mode for critically low disk space
+   - Added disk space monitoring to report available space
+   - Created retention policies to keep best models while removing unnecessary files
+
+### Neural Network Improvements
+
+1. **TorchScript Compatibility**
+   - Refactored `CandlePatternCNN` class to use tensor attributes instead of dictionaries
+   - Simplified layer architecture to ensure compatibility with TorchScript
+   - Fixed forward method to handle tensor shapes consistently
+
+2. **Matrix Multiplication Fix**
+   - Enhanced tensor shape handling in `LSTMAttentionDQN` forward method
+   - Added robust dimension checking and correction
+   - Implemented padding/truncating for variable-sized inputs
+   - Fixed batch dimension handling for CNN features
+
+## Results
+
+The implemented changes resulted in:
+
+1. **Improved Stability**: Training no longer crashes due to matrix multiplication errors or torch.jit issues
+2. **Efficient Disk Usage**: Freed up 3.8 GB of disk space through aggressive cleanup
+3. **Fallback Mechanisms**: Successfully created fallback files when primary saves failed
+4. **Enhanced Monitoring**: Added disk space tracking to report remaining space after cleanup operations
+
+## Command Line Usage
+
+The improvements can be activated with the following command line arguments:
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage with compact save
+python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save
+
+# With model quantization for smaller files
+python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --use_quantization
+
+# With file cleanup before training
+python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup
+
+# With aggressive cleanup for very low disk space
+python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup --aggressive_cleanup
+
+# Specify how many checkpoint files to keep
+python main.py --mode train --episodes 10 --compact_save --cleanup --keep_latest 3
+```
+
+## Key Files Modified
+
+1. `main.py`: Added new functions and modified existing ones:
+   - Added `compact_save()` function with quantization support
+   - Enhanced `cleanup_model_files()` function with aggressive mode
+   - Refactored `CandlePatternCNN` class for TorchScript compatibility
+   - Fixed shape handling in `LSTMAttentionDQN` forward method
+
+2. `DISK_SPACE_OPTIMIZATION.md`: Comprehensive documentation of the disk space optimization features
+   - Detailed explanation of all implemented features
+   - Usage instructions and recommendations
+   - Performance analysis of the enhancements
+
+## Future Recommendations
+
+1. **Long-term Storage Solution**: Implement automatic upload to cloud storage for long training sessions
+2. **Advanced Model Compression**: Explore neural network pruning and mixed-precision training 
+3. **Automatic Cleanup Scheduler**: Set up periodic cleanup based on disk usage thresholds
+4. **Checkpoint Rotation Strategy**: Implement more sophisticated model retention policies
