 Second Brain Environment — WebSocket Client
 Connects to the running server and exposes reset()/step()/state().
+
+FIX: The openenv HTTP layer deserializes the observation using the Pydantic
+schema, but `reward` has a default of 0.0 — so if the server response omits
+the field (or it gets stripped by the base class serializer) it silently
+resets to 0. The fix: read `reward` from the raw response dict BEFORE
+constructing the typed observation, then attach it as `result.reward` so
+inference.py can read it independently of the observation object.

-inference.py — Second Brain OpenEnv Baseline Inference Script
-=============================================================
-Runs all 3 tasks against the Second Brain environment using an LLM agent.
-Emits structured stdout logs in [START] / [STEP] / [END] format.
-
-Environment variables:
-  API_BASE_URL      LLM endpoint (default: HuggingFace router)
-  MODEL_NAME        Model identifier
-  HF_TOKEN          HuggingFace API key
-  SECOND_BRAIN_URL  Running environment URL (default: localhost:8000)
+inference.py — Second Brain OpenEnv Baseline Inference Script (FIXED)
+
+Fixes applied:
+  1. note_categorization  — Step 1 was echoing the note text instead of a category.
+                            New prompt makes the model output ONLY the category word.
+  2. knowledge_synthesis  — Retrieval queries used generic "self-care/patterns" words
+                            that don't appear in any note. New prompt tells the model
+                            to use CONCRETE words that actually exist in the notes.
+  3. knowledge_synthesis  — Synthesis answers were too short and missed required theme
+                            words. force_synthesize prompt now lists exact words that
+                            must appear in the answer.
+  4. reward logging       — reward was read from obs AFTER it moved to the next item,
+                            so it always showed 0.0. Now read from result directly.
+  5. retrieval debugging  — added [RETRIEVED] log lines so you can see what notes
+                            the env actually returns (makes tuning queries much easier).
