-GridMind-RL Baseline Inference Script
---------------------------------------
+GridMind-RL Inference Script
+----------------------------
 Runs an LLM agent against all 3 tasks for N episodes each.
 Uses the OpenAI Python client pointed at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
 
-Required environment variables (set in .env or shell):
-    API_BASE_URL   — The API endpoint for the LLM (default: OpenRouter)
-    MODEL_NAME     — The model identifier to use for inference
-    OPENAI_API_KEY — API key for authentication (works with any provider)
+Required environment variables:
+    HF_TOKEN     — Hugging Face / API token (mandatory, no default)
+    API_BASE_URL — API endpoint for the LLM (has default)
+    MODEL_NAME   — Model identifier (has default)
 
-Usage:
-    # Option 1: Use .env file (recommended — just paste your key)
-    python inference.py
-
-    # Option 2: Set env vars manually
-    export API_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
-    export MODEL_NAME=meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct:free
-    export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-xxxx
-    python inference.py
-
-    # Option 3: Fast mode (no LLM, heuristic only)
-    python inference.py --fast-mode --episodes 1
+STDOUT FORMAT (machine-parsed by judge):
+    [START] task=<task_name> env=<benchmark> model=<model_name>
+    [STEP]  step=<n> action=<action_str> reward=<0.00> done=<true|false> error=<msg|null>
