-## How to use
+## Inference example
 
 ```python
 import torch
-state = torch.load("model.pt", map_location="cpu")   # some labs save pose.pt / gaussians.pt / transform.pt
-# Rebuild the model class from the Ropedia Academy notebook (linked above), then:
-# model.load_state_dict(state)
+state = torch.load("policy.pt", map_location="cpu")   # this repo's checkpoint
+# Rebuild the exact module from the lab notebook (see "Reproduce"), then:
+# model.load_state_dict(state); model.eval()
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+**Educational scale.** Trained quickly on CPU on small or synthetic data, so absolute numbers are not competitive with production systems — the value is the *method* and a reproducible pipeline. No large-scale data, no hyperparameter sweep, and no multi-seed variance is reported. **Not for production use.**
+
+## Failure cases
+
+Compounding error / distribution shift once it leaves the expert's states (no recovery) — needs DAgger to fix.
+
+## Reproduce / train your own
