feat: multi-step env, pickle deserialization hard task, rebalanced difficulty

- Convert to 2-step episode: Phase 1=request_file (+0.20), Phase 2=bug review
- Replace python-sql-injection (hard) with python-pickle-deserialization (RCE)
to properly challenge LLMs below 0.80 baseline
- Add per-task keyword_target_override to grader for fair js-auth scoring
- Add conversation history to inference.py LLM calls for multi-turn context
- Fix parse_json_from_llm to scan for last valid JSON object (ignores code blocks)
- Clamp episode score to [0.0, 1.0] in END log
- Update openenv.yaml: max_steps=2, two-phase action space documented
- Rewrite README: multi-step walkthrough, updated baseline scores, reward table

 # Code Security Review — OpenEnv Environment
 
 An RL environment for training AI agents to perform real-world code security review.
-Agents analyze code snippets from production pull requests and identify bugs,
-vulnerabilities, and security issues.
+Agents analyze code from production pull requests across a **two-phase** multi-step
+workflow: first discovering the hidden file, then identifying the vulnerability.

-## Action Space
+## Two-Phase Episode Walkthrough
 
-The agent submits a JSON action with these fields:
+The agent operates in a **2-step sequential workflow** that mirrors a real AppSec triage process:
 
+**Step 1 — File Discovery** (`+0.20`)
+The agent receives only the PR title and file path. The code is hidden. The agent must request access:
+```json
+{"request_file": true}
+```
+The environment unlocks the code snippet and returns it in the observation.
+
+**Step 2 — Security Review** (up to `+0.80`)
+The agent analyses the code and submits a structured JSON finding:
 ```json
 {
   "bug_identified": true,
   "bug_location": "line 3 — range(len(transactions) + 1)",
-  "bug_type": "logic-error",
+  "bug_type": "off-by-one",
   "bug_description": "Off-by-one error causes IndexError on last iteration...",
   "severity": "medium",
   "suggested_fix": "Change range(len(transactions) + 1) to range(len(transactions))"
 }
 ```

 ## Reward Breakdown
 
-| Component | Max Score |
-|---|---|
-| Bug identified | 0.20 |
-| Bug type correct | 0.20 |
-| Bug location correct | 0.10 |
-| Description quality | 0.25 |
-| Fix quality | 0.15 |
-| Severity correct | 0.10 |
-| **Total** | **1.00** |
-
-The grader penalises keyword stuffing — incoherent keyword dumps score ≤ 0.20.
+| Step | Component | Max Score |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | File request granted | 0.20 |
+| 2 | Bug identified | 0.20 |
+| 2 | Bug type correct | 0.20 |
+| 2 | Bug location correct | 0.10 |
+| 2 | Description quality | 0.25 |
+| 2 | Fix quality | 0.15 |
+| 2 | Severity correct | 0.10 |
+| **Total** | | **1.00** |
+
+The grader penalises keyword stuffing — incoherent keyword dumps score ≤ 0.20 on the description component.
+Episode total reward is **clamped to [0.0, 1.0]**.
 
 **Example Calculation:**
-If the agent correctly identifies a bug (+0.20), misidentifies the type (+0.0), finds 50% of the location keywords (+0.05), writes a detailed and coherent description matching most keywords (+0.25), suggests a partially correct fix (+0.08), and gets the severity correct (+0.10), the total reward for that step would be `0.20 + 0.0 + 0.05 + 0.25 + 0.08 + 0.10 = 0.68`.
+Agent requests file (+0.20), correctly identifies bug (+0.20), correct type (+0.20),
+finds 50% location keywords (+0.05), writes good description (+0.20),
+suggests partial fix (+0.08), correct severity (+0.10) = total `0.20+0.20+0.20+0.05+0.20+0.08+0.10 = 1.00` → clamped to `1.00`.

 ## Edge Cases
 
-- **At step 0:** `reset()` must be called to initialize the state. If `step()` is called before `reset()`, the environment automatically calls `reset()` internally and evaluates the action on a random task.
-- **Max step limit:** The maximum step limit is 1. Calling `step()` evaluates the action and immediately sets `done=True`.
-- **At done=True:** Calling `step()` returns `reward=0.0`, `done=True`, and a clean error message in the `info` dict `("Episode already completed. Call /reset...")` indicating the episode is complete without auto-resetting.
+- **At step 0:** `reset()` must be called first. Calling `step()` without a reset triggers auto-reset.
+- **Phase 1 skip:** If the agent skips `request_file` and submits a review directly on step 1, it receives no intermediate reward and the code snippet used for grading may be hidden.
+- **Max step limit:** Episode ends at `done=True` when a bug review is submitted or `max_steps=2` is reached.
+- **At done=True:** Calling `step()` returns `reward=0.0`, `done=True`, and `info["error"]` indicating the episode is complete.
