  ## What Is Validated Today
30
-
31
  - On the fixed-condition v0 benchmark, `full_ft` and `no_ft` both reached 100% success across 3 seeds x 100 episodes, while force/torque input reduced average contact force from 5.2 N to 3.2 N.
32
  - On the domain-randomized v0.1.1 benchmark, both variants again reached 100% success across 600 total rollouts. In this setup, domain randomization largely closed the force gap, so the force/torque benefit is inconclusive for this specific task and tolerance regime.
33
  - The cards state both the positive result and the boundary condition where a force/torque benefit does not appear. That is deliberate.
34
-
35
  ## What Makes The Catalog Useful
36
-
37
  - Every release is paired with an explicit dataset lineage, not a detached checkpoint drop.
38
  - Baseline and ablation checkpoints are published together when possible.
39
  - Evaluation claims are tied to concrete seeds, episode counts, and repository artifacts.
40
  - Cards state simulation-only limitations directly instead of implying production readiness.
41
  - The catalog is organized around contact-rich robotics rather than generic manipulation marketing.

  ## Near-Term Priorities

-
52
  - Harder contact tasks with tighter tolerances, threaded insertion, and snap-fit behavior
53
  - Richer observations, including point clouds combined with wrench signals
54
  - Multi-robot evaluation beyond a single arm configuration
55
  - Real-world validation and safety-bridged deployment studies
