## 🔍 Key Features

### Mechanics Implementation
- **#1 Deceptive Environment**: Mixed logs with attack traces, red herrings, noise
- **#2 Partial Observability**: Query costs (-0.01 basic, -0.05 deep)
- **#3 Preconditions**: Strict state dependencies (snapshot→isolate, detach→rotate)
- **#4 Adversarial Traps**: Terminate = -1.0 reward, game over
- **#5 Gradient Rewards**: +0.02 per discovered flag
- **#6 Memory Pressure**: 6-turn sliding context window
- **#7 Tool Abstraction**: Pydantic JSON schema validation
- **#8 Rich Scoring**: 4-phase breakdown (investigation/containment/eradication/recovery)
- **#9 Deterministic Seeds**: 100% reproducible with random.seed()
- **#10 CoT Prompting**: Required {thought, tool, args} JSON format
- **#11 Multi-Task Campaign**: Easy→Medium→Hard with state transfer
- **#12 Timeline Grading**: Jaccard similarity + order preservation

### Tools (24 Available)
- CloudWatch: query_basic, query_deep
- EC2: describe, isolate, snapshot, terminate
- IAM: describe_role, detach_role, revoke_credentials, list_policies
- S3: get_bucket_policy, block_public_access, list_objects
