Final multi-mode OpenEnv fix

 It enables agents to iteratively improve code through structured actions while receiving dense, step-wise reward feedback.
 
+## Environment Overview and Motivation
+
+ACRE models a realistic developer workflow where an agent incrementally improves Python code quality under a fixed action budget.
+The environment is designed for OpenEnv Round 1 requirements: typed APIs, deterministic grading, multi-difficulty tasks, and reproducible inference behavior.

 Each task uses AST-based transformations and deterministic grading.
 
+## Task Descriptions with Expected Difficulty Levels
+
+- Easy (`rename_variables`): rename generic names like `x`, `tmp`, `i` into descriptive identifiers.
+- Medium (`remove_dead_code`): remove unreachable branches and unused assignments while preserving behavior.
+- Hard (`full_refactor`): combine renaming, dead-code elimination, loop simplification, condition cleanup, and helper inlining.
