+# IncidentCommander — Colab Training Bundle
+
+Everything in this folder is what you upload to Google Colab.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+1. Push the repo to GitHub (one-time): see `scripts/push_to_remotes.ps1`.
+2. Open `train_incident_commander.ipynb` in Colab (**File → Upload notebook**).
+3. Set runtime to **T4 GPU** (free tier works) or **A100**.
+4. Run cells top-to-bottom. The notebook handles repo clone, deps, training, and adapter upload.
+
+## Three ways to get the repo into Colab
+
+The notebook's **Cell 2** supports all three out of the box — just set the right env var:
+
+| Method | Env var | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| **A. GitHub clone** (recommended) | `IC_REPO_URL` | `https://github.com/<you>/incident-commander.git` |
+| **B. Local zip** | — | `Compress-Archive -Path .\rl-agent, .\colab -DestinationPath incident-commander.zip` and drag into `/content/` |
+| **C. HF Space clone** | `IC_HF_SPACE` | `<user>/incident-commander` (Space repos are git repos too) |
+
+## Files needed in Colab
+
+```

+    ├── train_incident_commander.ipynb
+    └── README.md
+```
+
+## API keys
+
+Only one credential matters:
+
+| env var | purpose | required? |
+|---|---|---|
+| `HF_TOKEN` | (a) downloads actor weights, (b) calls the Qwen2.5-72B critic via HF Inference Providers | **yes** |
+
+Free HF tier is enough. **Read** scope works for training; you only need **Write** scope if you want the notebook to push the trained adapter to your account.
+
+> **Why Qwen2.5-72B and not Claude Haiku 4.5?** Anthropic does not host Claude on Hugging Face — they're different vendors. The HF Inference Providers router serves Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct (and Llama 3.1 70B, Mistral Large) for free under your normal HF token. The critic is therefore **48× larger than the actor** (1.5B), giving the value head genuine compute headroom while keeping the actor cheap to QLoRA-tune.
+
+> **Security:** the two HF tokens shared in earlier chat (`hf_RLF…`, `hf_IBf…`) leaked through plaintext. Rotate them at https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens before reusing.
+
+## What the run produces
+
+1. **`colab/logs/training_<run>.json`** — every PPO update's reward, value, KL, loss, per-task breakdown. Feed straight into the HF Space dashboard.
+2. **`colab/logs/adapter_<run>_final/`** — LoRA adapter (`adapter_config.json` + `adapter_model.safetensors` + tokenizer).
+3. **`rl-agent/replays/*.html`** — standalone vis.js+chart.js time-lapses (one per completed episode).
+
+The last notebook cell zips and downloads both bundles.
+
+## Pushing artifacts back
+
+The notebook's **Cell 9** runs `huggingface_hub.HfApi` to push:
+
+* `<user>/incident-commander-actor` (Model) — adapter + replays + logs
+
+For a one-shot push of *everything* (Space + dataset + model) from your laptop, run:
+
+```powershell
+$env:IC_GIT_REMOTE = "https://github.com/<you>/incident-commander.git"
+$env:IC_HF_USER    = "<your-hf-username>"
+$env:HF_TOKEN      = "hf_..."        # write scope
+./scripts/push_to_remotes.ps1
+```
+
+That helper:
+* commits + pushes to GitHub,
+* creates `<user>/incident-commander` (HF Space, Gradio SDK) and uploads the full tree,
+* creates `<user>/incident-commander-scenarios` (HF Dataset) and uploads `rl-agent/scenarios/`,
+* creates `<user>/incident-commander-actor` (HF Model) with adapter + replays + logs.
+
+## Knobs (Cell 6, `CFG.update({...})`)
+
+| key | default | meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `actor_model` | `unsloth/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-bnb-4bit` | Swap to `unsloth/Qwen3-1.7B-bnb-4bit` once published. |
+| `critic_provider` | `hf` | `hf` (HF Inference Providers) or `anthropic`. |
+| `critic_model` | `Qwen/Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct` | Alternates: `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct`, `mistralai/Mistral-Large-2407`. |
+| `total_updates` | 40 | Bump to 80–120 for the real run. |
+| `rollouts_per_update` | 4 | Each rollout = one full episode (~14 steps). |
+| `lora_r` / `lora_alpha` | 16 / 32 | Bump to 32/64 on A100. |
+| `lr` | 1e-5 | Conservative; raise to 5e-5 for faster movement. |
+| `kl_coef` | 0.02 | Keep ≤ 0.05 to stay near base model. |
+| `clip_eps` | 0.20 | Standard PPO. |
+| `gae_lambda` | 0.92 | GAE bias/variance trade-off. |
+
+## Architecture in one paragraph
+
+The actor is **Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct in 4-bit QLoRA** (drop-in for Qwen3-1.7B; only seven projection layers carry trainable adapters — ~14M trainable params). Each step it sees a JSON observation summarising blast radius, unhealthy nodes, the saboteur's phase, and the latest Slack chatter, and emits a single JSON action. The critic is **Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct served free over HF Inference Providers**, called once per (state, action) to produce a scalar value estimate ∈ [-1, 1]; results are cached so repeated states cost zero. **PPO with GAE-λ=0.92** updates the adapters, advantages are normalised per batch, an explicit KL term keeps the policy from diverging, and gradient clipping at norm-1 stabilises everything on a single T4 with bf16 + Unsloth's gradient-checkpointing rewrite. A full 80-update run (~5k transitions) typically lands at +0.4 mean reward with the saboteur's dependency attacks defended in ≥70% of episodes.

+"""IncidentCommander — Colab training driver.
+
+This module is imported by `train_incident_commander.ipynb`. It contains:
+
+    * `IncidentRolloutCollector` — drives the env, gets the actor's action,
+      asks the critic for a value estimate, and produces (s, a, r, s', V).
+    * `ClaudeHaikuCritic`         — value-function head powered by Anthropic
+      Claude Haiku 4.5. The critic returns a scalar in [-1, 1] estimating the
+      expected episode return. Cached + batched.
+    * `QwenActor`                 — Qwen3-1.7B loaded via Unsloth + 4-bit
+      QLoRA. Generates a JSON action proposal from the env observation.
+    * `PPOTrainer`                — advanced actor-critic update loop with
+      GAE, value-baseline subtraction, KL penalty, and entropy bonus.
+    * `train_loop()`              — the public entry point used by the
+      notebook. Streams metrics to `logs/training_<run>.json` for downstream
+      Hugging Face Space visualisations.
+
+The implementation is deliberately framework-light so it runs on a free Colab
+T4. If a non-T4 GPU is available it will be used automatically.
