+# ACRE - Autonomous Code Refactoring Environment
+
+ACRE is an OpenEnv-compatible environment for autonomous Python code refactoring. An agent receives real code-cleanup tasks and must improve the code through AST-based transformations while receiving dense reward feedback for correctness, simplification, and performance.
+
+## Environment Overview and Motivation
+
+This project simulates a realistic developer workflow: cleaning up messy Python code, removing dead logic, simplifying loops, and inlining trivial helpers. The canonical OpenEnv wrapper lives in `openenv_interface.py`, while the original Gymnasium-compatible environment remains available for RL training and demos.
+
+## Definitions of Action and Observation Spaces
+
+### Action Space - Discrete(5)
+
+| Action | Name | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | rename_variable | Rename generic variables like `x`, `tmp`, and `i` |
+| 1 | remove_dead_code | Remove unreachable statements, `if False` branches, and unused assignments |
+| 2 | simplify_loop | Convert append-loops into list comprehensions |
+| 3 | optimize_condition | Simplify `not not x`, `if True`, `if False`, and boolean comparisons |
+| 4 | inline_function | Inline simple single-return module-level functions |
+
+### Observation Space - Box(4,)
+
+The environment tracks:
+
+- `code_length`
+- `complexity_score`
+- `runtime_s`
+- `error_flag`
+
+### Typed OpenEnv Models
+
+The submission-facing interface uses Pydantic models in `models.py`:
+
+- `ObservationModel`
+- `ActionModel`
+- `RewardModel`
+- `StateResponse`
+
+The canonical interface is:
+
+```python
+observation = env.reset(...)
+observation, reward, done, info = env.step(action)
+state = env.state()
+```
+
+## Task Descriptions with Expected Difficulty Levels
+
+| Task ID | Difficulty | Objective |
+|---|---|---|
+| `rename_variables` | Easy | Remove generic variable names from the snippet |
+| `remove_dead_code` | Medium | Eliminate dead branches, unreachable code, and unused assignments |
+| `full_refactor` | Hard | Combine renaming, dead-code removal, loop simplification, condition optimization, and inlining |
+
+Each task includes a deterministic AST-based grader returning a score in `[0.0, 1.0]`.
+
+## Reward Design
+
+Rewards are shaped throughout the trajectory instead of only at the end.
+
+- Success reward for syntactically valid, executable output
+- Complexity reward when control-flow complexity decreases
+- Performance reward when runtime improves
+- Error penalty for invalid or failing code
+- No-change penalty to discourage loops and unproductive actions
+
+Raw reward range is `[-32, 20]`, normalized to `[0.0, 1.0]` with `(raw + 32) / 52`.
+
+## HTTP API
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/` | Health check |
+| GET | `/health` | Compatibility health check |
+| POST | `/reset` | Reset environment and return typed observation/state |
+| POST | `/step` | Apply one action and return typed observation/reward/done |
+| GET | `/state` | Return the current typed state |
+| GET | `/tasks` | List available tasks |
+| POST | `/tasks/{task_id}/grade` | Grade submitted code |
+
+## Setup and Usage Instructions
+
+### Local setup
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+python server.py
+```
+
+### Baseline inference
+
+Set environment variables before running:
+
+```bash
+export API_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
+export MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o-mini
+export HF_TOKEN=your_key
+export ENV_URL=http://localhost:7860
+python inference.py
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `API_BASE_URL` and `MODEL_NAME` have defaults in `inference.py`
+- `HF_TOKEN` is optional because the script falls back to a deterministic heuristic baseline
+- `LOCAL_IMAGE_NAME` is read for evaluator compatibility when using a local Docker image launcher
+
+### Docker / Hugging Face Spaces
+
+```bash
+docker build -t acre .
+docker run -p 7860:7860 \
+  -e API_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1 \
+  -e MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o-mini \
+  -e HF_TOKEN=your_key \
+  -e ENV_URL=http://localhost:7860 \
+  acre
+```
+
+The repository is configured for a Docker-based Hugging Face Space and includes the `openenv` tag in the front matter.
+
+## Validation
+
+Run the repository validator:
+
+```bash
+python validate.py --url http://localhost:7860
+```
+
+When using the official hackathon tooling, also run:
+
+```bash
+openenv validate
+```
+
+## Interactive Demo
+
+Start the server and open:
+
+```text
+http://localhost:7860/demo
+```
+
+The demo shows:
+
+- Original code
+- Optimized code
+- Unified diff
+- Per-step action and reward logs
+
+## Baseline Performance Scores
+
+The deterministic fallback policy used by `inference.py` produces the following reproducible task scores:
+
+| Task | Score |
+|---|---|
+| `rename_variables` | 1.0 |
+| `remove_dead_code` | 1.0 |
+| `full_refactor` | 1.0 |
+| Average | 1.0 |
+
+These scores come from the built-in heuristic policy with `HF_TOKEN` unset, which keeps the baseline reproducible across runs.
