"""Recursive latent planner over the frozen LeWM PushT world model.

Implements the HRM/TRM-style nested recursion of ``recursive_planner_design.pdf``
section 9, placed inside an MPC rollout::

    for k = 1 .. H:                    # outer  - imagined environment steps
        for j = 1 .. T:                # middle - answer (action) improvement
            for i = 1 .. n:            # inner  - latent reasoning refinement
                z = f(z, h_G, h_{k-1}, y, c)
            y = g(y, z, h_G)
            c = consequence(M(C, psi(y)), h_G)      # Change 2
        b_k = psi(y);  h_k = M(h_{k-1}, b_k)        # frozen model advances

``f`` and ``g`` are weight-tied across every ``i``, ``j`` and ``k`` — the
recursion buys depth and compute, not parameters.

Three things in here are load-bearing and easy to get silently wrong:

* **The gradient policy (Change 1).** Cycles ``1..T-1`` run under ``no_grad``;
  only cycle ``T`` is differentiated, and ``(y, z)`` are detached when crossing
  from horizon step ``k`` to ``k+1``. The chain of world-model states ``h_k`` is
  *never* detached — that chain is the entire planning signal, and cutting it
  leaves a loss that still falls while the controller quietly becomes greedy.
* **Action/frame alignment.** Block ``k`` is the block *leaving* context frame
  ``k``. With ``N`` context frames there are ``N-1`` past blocks between them,
  and the current frame pairs with the first block of the plan. This mirrors
  ``lejepa_control.rollout.rollout_plan`` and ``LeWM.rollout`` exactly.
* **Recursion stability (Change 11).** RMSNorm on ``z`` and ``y`` before every
  ``f``/``g``, a bounded residual gate on each update, and ``h_{k-1}``/``h_G``
  re-injected at *every* ``f`` application rather than only the first.
