class PKPeakHalfLifeStrategy(ObservationStrategy):
    """Observation strategy tailored to pharmacokinetic (PK) curves.

    The strategy samples observations around the absorption peak and along the
    elimination phase of a PK simulation. It uses a canonical grid composed of
    four segments:

    1. Several points before the peak that are proportional to the configured
       peak time.
    2. The peak itself.
    3. Several points after the peak spaced by multiples of the provided
       half-life.
    4. Optional remainder points that are handed back to the caller when
       ``add_rem`` is enabled.

    For **synthetic simulations**, the strategy still uses this canonical grid
    and nearest-neighbour alignment.

    For **empirical data**, measurements are treated as already canonical:

    * No canonical time grid construction.
    * No time normalisation or template matching.
    * No interpolation or re-scaling to canonical coordinates.

    Empirical sequences are only padded / truncated to the internal capacity
    implied by :class:`ObservationsConfig` and :class:`MetaStudyConfig`, and
    then passed through the same past/future splitting logic.

    Past/future splitting
    ----------------------
    When ``split_past_future=True``, the canonical sequence for each row is
    split into:

    * a *past* observation block of fixed width (``max_obs``), and
    * an optional *remainder* block of width (``max_rem``).

    In the default mode (no fixed past selection), the number of past points
    is sampled according to ``generative_bias``:

    * ``False`` samples in ``[min_past, max_past]``.
    * ``True`` samples exactly ``0`` with probability 0.5 and, otherwise,
      samples uniformly in ``[max(1, min_past), max_past]``.

    Under ``generative_bias=False``, **short sequences** receive a special treatment: when
    the number of valid canonical points is less than or equal to the
    observation capacity, *all* valid points are placed in the observation
    block and none are shifted into the remainder.

    Fixed past selection
    --------------------
    Calling :meth:`fix_past_selection(k)` activates a strict mode in which
    the strategy tries to expose exactly ``k`` earliest valid timestamps as
    "past" for each series, subject to the following structural limits:

    1. The number of real data points available in the series.
    2. The observation capacity dictated by :meth:`_get_shapes_raw`.

    Concretely, for each row:

    * Let ``k`` be the fixed past count.
    * Let ``total_valid`` be the number of valid canonical points.
    * Let ``past_required = min(k, total_valid)``.

    The observation block receives

    * ``obs_count = min(past_required, max_obs)`` earliest valid points.

    If ``past_required > obs_count`` (for example because ``k`` exceeds the
    number of observation slots), the remaining required past events
    ``past_required - obs_count`` are the *first entries* in the remainder
    block (subject to the remainder capacity). This guarantees that, as long
    as data and shapes allow, the first ``k`` valid timestamps appear in
    ``obs`` + ``rem`` before any later timestamps.

    Calling :meth:`release_past_selection()` returns to the default stochastic
    behaviour governed by ``min_past``/``max_past``.

        1. ``canonical_mask`` is inspected to identify the indices that contain
