"purpose": "One JSON any reviewer tool (or person) can load: metrics, thesis, grpo_pilot_run, finetuned inference, and rubric_and_evidence_index mapping each organizer requirement to a path or URL. Training and finetune-inference numbers come from the author's Space/GPU runs unless labeled source_committed_file.",
"disclaimer": "source_committed_file = copied from a file in the repo. source_production_train_log = real GRPO pilot on the Space/container (path may be /data/outputs/ on machine). source_inference_eval = results from running the trained best_by_loss checkpoint through the same style of eval as evaluate_llm_baseline (n=50). compare_qwen17_eval.sh still optional for a formal zeroshot-vs-finetuned JSON pair in outputs/.",

"why_its_a_standout_idea": [
"The trained role is the **control plane** (approve / block / hold / inspect), not a generic coding agent—so the learned object is *policy under scarcity*, not autocomplete quality.",
"Observations and tools are **JSON and fixed schemas**; rewards decompose into safe_ship, unsafe_ship, budget burn, and false_block—**auditable** unlike vibes-only evals.",
"You can show **hand-written baselines fail** (naive and plain rules) while a **smaller** RL-tuned Qwen is intended to **beat the same base model zero-shot** on the *same* env (repro script below), paralleling the README story that a compact supervised policy can outrun huge instruction-tuned *general* tool agents on the wrong task."
