"""Unified RL fine-tuning harness for the preference-drift study.

Fine-tunes a base model on a coding dataset with one of three algorithms
(PPO / GRPO / DPO), saving checkpoints on a fixed step cadence so the drift
elicitation can be scored on each. The algorithm is the study's independent
variable; everything else is held fixed across runs: base model, dataset,
reward/objective, optimizer-step budget, checkpoint cadence, and the
reference-KL strength (beta / init_kl_coef).

DPO is offline preference optimization; PPO/GRPO are online RL. All three share
one objective because DPO's pairs and (optionally) PPO's reward model are built
from the SAME verifiable reward used by GRPO (rl_training/rewards.py).

Checkpoints land in <save_dir>/<run_name>/checkpoint-<step>/. Register them into
config.yaml with rl_training/register_checkpoints.py, then score each with
run_elicitations.py / run_utilities.py (values via the run_utilities_values entry).

Assumes TRL >= 0.15 (GRPOTrainer + Trainer-style PPOTrainer). Exact kwargs move
between TRL releases; pin via rl_training/requirements-training.txt.

Examples:
    python -m rl_training.train_rl --algo grpo --config rl_training/configs/grpo.yaml \
        --base_model Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B \
        --dataset data/rl/coding_train.jsonl --seed 0 \
        --save_dir runs --run_name qwen08b-grpo-s0 --use_lora

    python -m rl_training.train_rl --algo dpo --config rl_training/configs/dpo.yaml \
        --base_model Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B \
        --dataset data/rl/coding_pairs.jsonl --seed 0 \
