+
+## 1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
+
+### 1.1 What Is SupportOps Arena
+
+SupportOps Arena is a **production-grade, OpenEnv-compliant reinforcement learning benchmark environment** that simulates enterprise IT support operations. An AI agent acts as a Level-1/Level-2 IT support operator. It receives incomplete, noisy incident tickets and must:
+
+- Gather evidence through sequential tool use (diagnostic actions)
+- Reason about hidden root causes under partial observability
+- Apply risk-weighted remediation actions
+- Escalate when autonomous resolution is unsafe
+- Generalize policy across an adaptive adversary that targets agent weaknesses
+
+### 1.2 Why It Exists
+
+This is NOT a toy. IT support is a $50B+ industry. Agents deployed here face genuine operational consequences — wrong actions disrupt real users, wrong escalations waste L3 engineer time, wrong closures leave root causes unresolved. The environment tests:
+
+- Long-horizon planning (10–24 step episodes)
+- Partial observability (hidden root causes, noisy logs)
+- Risk-aware action selection
+- Cross-episode pattern recognition (hard task)
+- Policy robustness under adversarial pressure
+
+### 1.3 Hackathon Evaluation Weights
+
+| Criterion | Weight |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Real-world utility | 30% |
+| Task & grader quality | 25% |
+| Environment design | 20% |
+| Code quality & spec compliance | 15% |
+| Creativity & novelty | 10% |
+
+**Every design decision must maximize these weights.**
+
+---
+
+## 2. TECH STACK & TOOLING RULES
+
+### 2.1 Required Stack
+
+| Layer | Technology | Version | Rule |
+|-------|-----------|---------|------|
+| Language | Python | 3.11+ | REQUIRED. No 3.10 or below. |
+| Type models | Pydantic | v2 | REQUIRED. All models must use `model_config`, `model_validator`, `field_validator`. No v1 syntax. |
+| API server | FastAPI | 0.110+ | REQUIRED. All endpoints async. |
+| ASGI server | Uvicorn | latest | Run with `--host 0.0.0.0 --port 7860` |
+| Containerization | Docker | latest | Single-stage or multi-stage. Must work with `docker build . && docker run -p 7860:7860` |
+| Testing | pytest + pytest-asyncio | latest | All env tests must be async. |
+| LLM calls | OpenAI Python SDK | v1.x | Use `AsyncOpenAI`. Read `API_BASE_URL`, `MODEL_NAME`, `HF_TOKEN` from env vars. |
+| Frontend | Vanilla HTML/CSS/JS | — | Single `index.html` served by FastAPI. No React needed for UI. |
+| Logging | Python `logging` | stdlib | Structured JSON logs to stdout. |
+| Random seed | Python `random` + `numpy` | — | All stochastic elements must accept a `seed` param for reproducibility. |
+
+### 2.2 Environment Variables (MANDATORY)
+
+The following must be read from environment at runtime. Never hardcode:
+
+```python
+API_BASE_URL = os.environ.get("API_BASE_URL", "https://api.openai.com/v1")
+MODEL_NAME   = os.environ.get("MODEL_NAME", "gpt-4o-mini")
+HF_TOKEN     = os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN", "")
+OPENAI_API_KEY = os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY", "")
+```
+
+### 2.3 Prohibited Patterns
+
+- ❌ No `from pydantic import validator` (v1 style)
+- ❌ No synchronous `requests` calls anywhere in async paths
+- ❌ No hardcoded API keys in any file
+- ❌ No `print()` for logging — use `logging.getLogger(__name__)`
+- ❌ No global mutable state that breaks concurrent requests
+- ❌ No `time.sleep()` in async code — use `asyncio.sleep()`
+- ❌ No circular imports
+

+## 4. ENVIRONMENT CORE (OPENENV SPEC)
+
+### 4.1 `env/environment.py` — Full Specification
+
+The main class `SupportOpsArena` must implement the full OpenEnv interface. Here is the complete contract:
+
+```python
+class SupportOpsArena:
+    """
+    OpenEnv-compliant environment for enterprise IT incident triage.
+    
+    Implements:
+    - async reset(task_level: str) -> EnvObservation
+    - async step(action: Action) -> StepResult
+    - async state() -> EnvState
+    - Pydantic v2 typed models throughout
+    - Dense reward shaping
+    - Adaptive adversary integration
+    - 3 task levels: easy, medium, hard
+    """
+```
+
+#### 4.1.1 `reset()` Method
+
+```python
+async def reset(self, task_level: str = "easy", seed: int | None = None) -> EnvObservation:
+```
+
+Rules:
+- `task_level` must be one of `["easy", "medium", "hard"]`. Raise `ValueError` otherwise.
+- Sample a new ticket scenario using `TicketGenerator` with the adversary's current sampling weights.
+- Set `step_count = 0`.
+- Set `episode_id` as a UUID4 string.
+- Set `escalation_allowed = False` initially (unlocked after minimum diagnostic steps per task).
+- Store `hidden_state` (root cause, correct remediation) in `EnvState` but NOT in `EnvObservation`.
+- Log episode start with `episode_id`, `task_level`, `seed`.
+- Return an `EnvObservation` with all fields populated. `system_logs` starts with 3–5 entries (may include one misleading entry for medium/hard).
+- `action_history` starts as empty list.
+
+#### 4.1.2 `step()` Method
+
+```python
+async def step(self, action: Action) -> StepResult:
+```
+
+`StepResult` is a named tuple / dataclass: `(observation: EnvObservation, reward: float, done: bool, info: dict)`
+
+Rules:
+- Validate action is a valid `ActionType` enum member. Return penalty reward if invalid.
+- Check if episode is already done. Raise `RuntimeError("Episode already terminated. Call reset().")` if so.
+- Pass action through `StateMachine.transition()` to get next state.
+- Calculate reward via `RewardCalculator.calculate()`.
+- Increment `step_count`.
+- Append action to `action_history`.
+- Check terminal conditions:
+  - `action.name == ActionType.RESOLVE_TICKET` → done, apply terminal reward.
+  - `action.name == ActionType.ESCALATE_TICKET` → done, apply escalation reward.
+  - `action.name == ActionType.CLOSE_WITHOUT_FIX` → done, apply heavy penalty.
+  - `step_count >= max_steps[task_level]` → done, apply budget-exceeded penalty.
+- Update adversary policy tracker with this action.
+- `info` dict must contain: `{"episode_id": ..., "step": ..., "root_cause": None, "reward_breakdown": {...}}`. Do NOT reveal `root_cause` until `done=True`.
+- When `done=True`, `info["root_cause"]` = actual root cause string, `info["correct"]` = bool.
+
+#### 4.1.3 `state()` Method
+
+```python
+async def state(self) -> EnvState:
+```
+
+Returns full `EnvState` including `hidden_state`. Used by graders only. Never expose to agent during active episode.
+
+#### 4.1.4 Step Budgets
+
+```python
+MAX_STEPS = {
+    "easy": 10,
+    "medium": 16,
+    "hard": 24
+}
+```
+
+#### 4.1.5 Escalation Unlock Logic
+
+```python
+ESCALATION_UNLOCK_AFTER = {
+    "easy": 3,    # Must take 3+ diagnostic actions first
+    "medium": 4,  # Must take 4+ diagnostic actions first
+    "hard": 5     # Must take 5+ diagnostic actions first
+}
+```
+
+`escalation_allowed` flips to `True` in the observation after the unlock threshold is met. If agent tries to escalate before unlock, return penalty `-0.20` and do NOT terminate episode.
+

+## 5. PYDANTIC MODELS & TYPE SYSTEM

+## 6. STATE MACHINE & TRANSITIONS
+
+### 6.1 `env/actions.py`
+
+Define all 15 actions with metadata:
+
+```python

+
+### 6.2 `env/transitions.py` — StateMachine
+
+The state machine enforces action preconditions and generates next observations:
+
+```python
+class StateMachine:
+    async def transition(self, state: EnvState, action: Action) -> tuple[EnvState, dict]:
+        """
+        Apply action to state. Returns (next_state, reward_events).
+        
+        Precondition rules (enforce strictly):
+        1. If action requires_prior_diagnostic and diagnostic_steps_taken == 0:
+           → Inject reward event: RISKY_WITHOUT_DIAGNOSTIC = -0.15
+           → Still apply the action (don't block it), but penalize
+        
+        2. If action is ESCALATE_TICKET and not escalation_allowed:
+           → Inject reward event: PREMATURE_ESCALATION = -0.20
+           → Do NOT terminate. Keep episode running.
+        
+        3. If same action has been taken before (action.name in past action_history):
+           → Inject reward event: REDUNDANT_ACTION = -0.05
+        
+        Observation updates per action (what new info is revealed):
+        - inspect_network: Update network_status, vpn_status with true values (or noisy version)
+        - inspect_logs: Return next batch of log entries (some may be misleading)
+        - check_authentication: Update auth_status with true values
+        - check_permissions: Add permission info to service_health
+        - query_device_status: Update user_context.device details
+        - search_internal_kb: Append KB result as a special LogEntry
+        - contact_user: Append user response as LogEntry (costs 1 step)
+        - run_diagnostic_script: Return targeted diagnostic result (high accuracy)
+        - flush_dns: Side effect: network_status may briefly show DEGRADED
+        - reconfigure_client: Partial fix (may resolve DNS-related causes)
+        - restart_service: Updates service_health, but may trigger side effects
+        - reset_credentials: Forces auth_status to OK but logs the action
+        - escalate_ticket: Terminal if allowed
+        - resolve_ticket: Terminal always
+        - close_without_fix: Terminal always
+        
+        For diagnostic actions that match root cause category:
+        → Inject reward event: CORRECT_TARGETED_DIAGNOSTIC = +0.20
+        
+        For any diagnostic action:
+        → Increment state.diagnostic_steps_taken
+        → Check if escalation_allowed should flip to True
+        → Inject reward event: DIAGNOSTIC_ACTION = +0.10
+        """
+```
+
+Noise model for `inspect_logs`:
+- Easy task: 0% misleading entries
+- Medium task: 1 misleading entry injected at random position
+- Hard task: 1–2 misleading entries, plus one contradictory entry

+Ticket template for easy:
+```
+"ticket_summary": "Hi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi and need help urgently."
+"user_context": randomized department/role/device/OS
+"initial_logs": 3 generic log entries, 0 misleading
+```
+
+#### Task 2 — Medium: VPN Access Failure
+
+Root causes (one OR two combined per episode):
+
+```python
+TASK_MEDIUM_ROOT_CAUSES = [
+    "expired_password",           # auth_status: EXPIRED
+    "vpn_version_mismatch",       # service_health["vpn_client"]: DEGRADED
+    "dns_split_tunnel_conflict",  # network shows HEALTHY but vpn_status: FAILED
+    "mfa_token_desync",           # auth_status: MFA_FAIL
+    "firewall_subnet_block",      # network_status: DEGRADED, specific subnet
+    "certificate_expiry",         # service_health["vpn_cert"]: DOWN
+]
+```
+
+Key challenge implementation:
+- Always inject exactly 1 misleading log entry at position `random.randint(1, len(logs)-1)`
+- The misleading entry must point toward a plausible but incorrect root cause
+- The agent must gather evidence from ≥3 sources before the grader gives full credit
+
+Ticket template:
+```
+"ticket_summary": "I'm working from home and can't access any internal tools through VPN. 
+                   It was working fine yesterday."
+"initial_logs": 5 entries, 1 is misleading (flagged in HiddenState.misleading_log_index)
+```
+
+#### Task 3 — Hard: Cross-System Access Failure with Shared Infrastructure
+
+This task delivers **two sequential tickets** in the same episode. The agent must recognize they share a root cause.
+
+Implementation:
+```python
+class HardTaskState(BaseModel):
+    ticket_a: EnvObservation  # Email access failure
+    ticket_b: EnvObservation  # Enterprise tools access failure
+    shared_root_cause: str    # "sso_token_service_degradation"
+    cross_ticket_recognized: bool = False  # Set to True if agent escalates with both ticket IDs
+    
+# Ticket A symptoms:
+# - auth_status: EXPIRED (misleading — it's not expired, it's SSO backend failing)
+# - service_health["mail"]: DEGRADED
+# - vpn_status: N/A
+
+# Ticket B symptoms:  
+# - auth_status: OK (misleading — cached credentials still valid)
+# - service_health["sharepoint"]: DOWN
+# - service_health["teams"]: DEGRADED
+
+# True root cause: SSO token service degradation on datacenter-east
+# Correct resolution: ESCALATE with summary mentioning both ticket IDs and SSO hypothesis
+```
+
+The adversary for hard task:
+- Reads the agent's action history from last 5 episodes
+- If agent always does inspect_logs → inject double-misleading-log variant
+- If agent always escalates at step 5 → generate scenario where early escalation is penalized
+- If agent scores > 0.85 on medium → unlock "contradictory evidence" hard variant

+## 15. FRONTEND DASHBOARD UI
+
+### 15.1 Overview
+
+Build a stunning, interactive dashboard at `app/static/index.html`. This is served by FastAPI at `/`. It allows humans to:
+- Watch the environment in action
+- Step through episodes manually
+- View real-time reward signals
+- Run the baseline agent and watch it play
+- See scores across all 3 tasks
+
+### 15.2 Design System
+
+**Color Palette (STRICT — do not deviate):**
+
+```css
+:root {
+  /* Backgrounds */
+  --bg-primary:     #FFFFFF;              /* Pure white */
+  --bg-secondary:   #F0F8FF;              /* Alice blue (very light sky) */

+  
+  /* Borders */
+  --border-light:   rgba(135, 206, 235, 0.3);
+  --border-medium:  rgba(91, 184, 232, 0.5);
+  
+  /* Shadows */
+  --shadow-sm:      0 2px 8px rgba(33, 150, 243, 0.08);
+  --shadow-md:      0 4px 20px rgba(33, 150, 243, 0.12);
+  --shadow-lg:      0 8px 40px rgba(33, 150, 243, 0.16);
+  --shadow-glow:    0 0 30px rgba(135, 206, 235, 0.4);

+  /* Sizing */
+  --radius-sm:      8px;
+  --radius-md:      12px;
+  --radius-lg:      20px;
+  --radius-xl:      28px;
+  
+  /* Transitions */
+  --transition-fast: 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
+  --transition-med:  0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
+  --transition-slow: 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
+}
+```
+
+**Typography:**
+
+```css
+/* Import from Google Fonts */
+@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600;700&family=DM+Mono:wght@400;500&family=Sora:wght@600;700;800&display=swap');
+
+body { font-family: 'DM Sans', sans-serif; }
+h1, h2, h3 { font-family: 'Sora', sans-serif; }
+code, .mono { font-family: 'DM Mono', monospace; }
+```
+
+**Global Rules:**
+- Background is always the `--gradient-main` or pure white — NEVER dark
+- Cards use `--gradient-card` with `backdrop-filter: blur(12px)`
+- Borders are always light sky blue tinted — `--border-light`
+- All interactive elements have smooth hover transitions
+- Scrollbars are styled (thin, sky blue thumb)
+- No black backgrounds anywhere

+.log-entry.ERROR { color: var(--danger); }
+.log-entry.WARN  { color: var(--warning); }
+.log-entry.INFO  { color: var(--text-secondary); }
+.log-entry.DEBUG { color: var(--text-muted); }
+```
+
+#### Reward History Chart
+
+Use Chart.js (CDN). Sparkline area chart at the bottom:
+- Line color: `#2196F3`
+- Fill: gradient from `rgba(33, 150, 243, 0.15)` to transparent
+- Grid lines: very faint sky blue
+- No x-axis labels (steps only)
+- White background card with shadow
+
+#### Animations
+
+Entry animations (use CSS keyframes):
+```css
+@keyframes slideIn {
+  from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(12px); }
+  to   { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }
+}
+
+@keyframes fadeIn {
+  from { opacity: 0; }
+  to   { opacity: 1; }
+}
+
+@keyframes pulse-glow {
+  0%, 100% { box-shadow: 0 0 0 0 rgba(33, 150, 243, 0.3); }
+  50%       { box-shadow: 0 0 0 8px rgba(33, 150, 243, 0); }
+}
+
+.ticket-card { animation: slideIn 0.3s ease forwards; }
+.log-entry   { animation: fadeIn 0.2s ease forwards; }
+.live-badge  { animation: pulse-glow 2s infinite; }
+```
+
+Reward feedback flash: When a positive reward comes in, flash the reward display green for 500ms. Negative → flash red.
+
+#### Baseline Run Mode
+
+When user clicks "▶ Run Baseline":
+- Show a progress overlay (semi-transparent white with spinning sky-blue circle)
+- Stream step-by-step actions as log entries in real time (SSE or polling)
+- Show final scores in animated number counters that count up from 0
+
+### 15.5 Responsive Behavior
+
+- Desktop (>1200px): Full 3-column layout as shown
+- Tablet (768–1200px): Sidebar collapses to icon mode
+- Mobile (<768px): Single column, sidebar becomes bottom drawer
+
+### 15.6 JavaScript Architecture
+
+Use vanilla JS with a clean module pattern:
+
+```javascript
+const API_BASE = window.location.origin;
+
+const State = {
+  sessionId: null,
+  taskLevel: 'easy',
+  currentObs: null,
+  rewardHistory: [],
+  episodeDone: false,
+};
+
+const API = {
+  async reset(taskLevel) { ... },
+  async step(actionName, rationale) { ... },
+  async getScores() { ... },
+  async runBaseline() { ... },
+};
+
+const UI = {
+  renderObservation(obs) { ... },
+  renderLogs(logs) { ... },
+  renderActionHistory(history) { ... },
+  updateScores(scores) { ... },
+  flashReward(value) { ... },
+  updateChart(rewardHistory) { ... },
+};
+```

+
+This file MUST be at the root level. It is named exactly `inference.py`. The hackathon automated system will look for it here.
+
+### 16.1 Required stdout log format
+
+Every log line must follow this EXACT format. Any deviation causes evaluation failure:

+[STEP] {"step": 1, "action": "inspect_logs", "rationale": "...", "reward": 0.10, "done": false}
+[STEP] {"step": 2, "action": "check_authentication", "rationale": "...", "reward": 0.20, "done": false}

+## 19. HUGGING FACE SPACES DEPLOYMENT
+
+### 19.1 Space Configuration
+
+Add `README.md` front matter at the very top:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: SupportOps Arena
+emoji: 🎯
+colorFrom: blue
+colorTo: sky
+sdk: docker
+app_port: 7860
+tags:
+  - openenv
+  - reinforcement-learning
+  - it-support
+  - environment
+  - benchmark
+pinned: false
+---
+```
+
+### 19.2 Space Requirements
+
+- Must respond to `GET /health` with 200 OK
+- Must respond to `POST /reset` with valid EnvObservation JSON
+- Must have the UI accessible at `/`
+- Port must be 7860
+- Must start within 60 seconds of container boot
+
+### 19.3 Secrets in HF Spaces
+
+Set these in Space Settings → Repository Secrets:
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+- `API_BASE_URL`
+- `MODEL_NAME`
+
+---
+
+## 20. PRE-SUBMISSION CHECKLIST COMPLIANCE
+
+This section maps every checklist item to the implementation requirement:
+
+| Checklist Item | Implementation Requirement | How to Verify |
+|----------------|--------------------------|---------------|
+| HF Space deploys | Dockerfile + port 7860 + health endpoint | `curl https://<space>/health` → 200 |
+| OpenEnv spec compliance | openenv.yaml + typed models + step/reset/state | `openenv validate openenv.yaml` |
+| Dockerfile builds | Single-stage Python 3.11 Dockerfile | `docker build . && docker run -p 7860:7860 .` |
+| Baseline reproduces | `inference.py` at root level | `python inference.py` → stdout logs |
+| 3+ tasks with graders | Easy/Medium/Hard in openenv.yaml + graders/ | `GET /tasks` → 3 tasks |
+| API_BASE_URL env var | Read in server.py + inference.py | `echo $API_BASE_URL` |
+| MODEL_NAME env var | Read in inference.py | `echo $MODEL_NAME` |
+| HF_TOKEN env var | Read in inference.py | `echo $HF_TOKEN` |
+| inference.py named correctly | File at root: `./inference.py` | `ls inference.py` |
+| OpenAI client used | `from openai import AsyncOpenAI` in inference.py | Code review |
+| [START]/[STEP]/[END] format | JSON with type field on every stdout line | Run inference.py and check |
+| Graders return 0.0-1.0 | `score: float = Field(ge=0.0, le=1.0)` | Test suite |
+| Runtime < 20 min | Baseline agent is scripted (fast) | `time python inference.py` |
+| vcpu=2, memory=8gb compatible | No GPU code, async only, no heavy ML | Docker run with `--cpus=2 --memory=8g` |
+
+---
+
+## 21. DESIGN SYSTEM & UI RULES
+
+### 21.1 Absolute UI Rules
+
+1. **Background is ALWAYS light** — pure white or light sky blue gradient. No exceptions.
+2. **Primary gradient** = `linear-gradient(135deg, #FFFFFF 0%, #E0F4FF 40%, #B8E4FF 100%)`
+3. **All cards have glass morphism** = `backdrop-filter: blur(12px)` + semi-transparent white bg
+4. **Typography hierarchy**: Sora for headings, DM Sans for body, DM Mono for code/logs
+5. **Sky blue is the only accent color**. No purples, no oranges, no reds (except error states)
+6. **All interactive elements have hover + active states**
+7. **Reward is color-coded**: green for positive, red for negative, with CSS transitions
+8. **Scrollbars are styled** — thin (4px), sky blue thumb
+9. **Loading states** use sky-blue spinning rings, never gray spinners
+10. **Error messages** appear in soft red pill badges, never raw text
+
+### 21.2 Animation Principles
+
+- Entry animations: 0.3s ease slide-up
+- Hover transitions: 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)
+- Reward flash: 0.5s ease pulse (green or red glow on reward display)
+- Baseline run progress: indeterminate sky-blue progress bar
+- New log entries: 0.2s fade in from slightly below
+

+
+## 22. COPILOT CLI PROMPT STRATEGY
+
+### 22.1 How to Use This PRD with GitHub Copilot CLI
+
+Open your terminal in the project root. Use this master prompt to kick off:
+
+```bash
+gh copilot suggest "Build the SupportOps Arena OpenEnv environment following PRD.md exactly. 
+Start with: env/state.py (all Pydantic v2 models), then env/actions.py (ActionType enum + metadata), 
+then env/rewards.py (RewardCalculator), then env/transitions.py (StateMachine), 
+then env/scenarios.py (TicketGenerator), then env/environment.py (SupportOpsArena main class). 
+Use Python 3.11+, Pydantic v2, async everywhere. Follow every rule in PRD.md."
+```
+
+### 22.2 File-by-File Prompt Sequence
+
+Use these prompts in order. Complete each file before moving to the next:
+
+**Phase 1: Core Models**
+```
+Build env/state.py for SupportOps Arena. Include: NetworkStatus, VPNStatus, AuthStatus, 
+ServiceHealth, TaskLevel enums; UserContext, LogEntry, ActionRecord, EnvObservation, 
+HiddenState, EnvState, StepResult Pydantic v2 models. EnvObservation must NOT contain 
+HiddenState fields. All enums use str,Enum. Use field_validator and model_validator where needed.
+```
+
+**Phase 2: Actions**
+```
+Build env/actions.py. Create ActionType enum with exactly 15 values. Create ActionMetadata 
+dataclass with risk_level, info_yield, step_cost, requires_prior_diagnostic, 
+can_disrupt_other_users, is_terminal. Create ACTION_METADATA dict mapping every ActionType 
+to its metadata. Create Action Pydantic v2 model with name:ActionType and rationale:str|None.
+```
+
+**Phase 3: Rewards**
+```
+Build env/rewards.py. Create REWARD_EVENTS dict with all 15 reward events (values from PRD). 
+Create MAX_POSSIBLE_REWARD dict for easy/medium/hard. Create MIN_STEPS_FOR_OPTIMAL dict. 
+Create RewardCalculator class with async calculate(events, state, action) method that returns 
+(total_reward: float, breakdown: dict). Include episode score normalization with clamp to [0,1].
+```
+
+**Phase 4: Scenarios**
+```
+Build env/scenarios.py. Create TASK_EASY_ROOT_CAUSES list with 6 root cause dicts. 
+Create TASK_MEDIUM_ROOT_CAUSES list with 6 root causes (one or two combined per episode). 
+Create TicketGenerator class with async generate(task_level, adversary_weights, seed) method. 
+Must return (EnvObservation, HiddenState) tuple. Easy task: 0 misleading logs. 
+Medium: 1 misleading log. Hard: two tickets, 1-2 misleading logs.
+```
+
+**Phase 5: State Machine**
+```
+Build env/transitions.py. Create StateMachine class with async transition(state, action) method. 
+Must: enforce requires_prior_diagnostic precondition, handle escalation_allowed unlock logic, 
+detect redundant actions, update diagnostic_steps_taken counter, generate observation updates 
+per action type (each action reveals different info), return (next_EnvState, list[reward_event_keys]).
+```
+
+**Phase 6: Main Environment**
+```
+Build env/environment.py. Create SupportOpsArena class. Constructor takes no required args. 
+Implement: async reset(task_level, seed) -> EnvObservation, async step(action) -> StepResult, 
+async state() -> EnvState. Use TicketGenerator, StateMachine, RewardCalculator, AdaptiveAdversary. 
+Track episode state internally. Raise RuntimeError on step after done. Log all episodes.
+```
+
+**Phase 7: Adversary**
+```
+Build adversary/policy_tracker.py (PolicyTracker with sliding window of 20 episodes) and 
+adversary/adversary.py (AdaptiveAdversary with get_sampling_weights and get_injection_config). 
+Adversary is stateless per-episode. Reads from tracker. Adjusts ticket sampling weights based 
+on agent's past action frequencies, first-action distribution, and score by root cause category.
+```
+
+**Phase 8: Graders**
+```
+Build graders/programmatic.py (ProgrammaticGrader), graders/llm_grader.py (LLMGrader using 
+AsyncOpenAI with API_BASE_URL/MODEL_NAME from env), graders/adversarial_grader.py 
+(AdversarialGrader). All return GradeResult with score: float Field(ge=0.0, le=1.0). 
+LLM grader falls back to 0.5 on API failure. Add aggregate_scores function.
+```
+
+**Phase 9: Baseline Agent**
+```
+Build baseline/baseline_agent.py. BaselineAgent must be fully scripted (no ML). 
+Decision tree: inspect_logs+check_authentication first, then branch on auth_status, 
+network_status, vpn_status, service_health. Lowest-risk remediation per root cause category. 
+Escalate if diagnostic_steps >= 60% of budget and done < 40% of budget remaining. 
+Expected scores: easy 0.65-0.75, medium 0.40-0.55, hard 0.20-0.35.
+```
+
+**Phase 10: FastAPI Server**
+```
+Build app/server.py. Mount static files at /static. Serve index.html at /. Endpoints: 
+GET /health, POST /reset, POST /step, GET /state, GET /scores, POST /grade, GET /openenv.yaml, 
+GET /tasks, POST /baseline/run. Session management with X-Session-ID header (UUID), 
+dict storage with 30min TTL. CORS middleware with allow_origins=["*"].
+```
+
+**Phase 11: Frontend**
+```
+Build app/static/index.html. Single file, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. Design: pure white + light sky 
+blue gradient (#FFFFFF → #E0F4FF → #B8E4FF). Fonts: Sora (headings), DM Sans (body), DM Mono (mono). 
+Layout: sticky header, 280px sidebar (task selector + score bars + episode info), main area 
+(ticket viewer + action panel + log viewer), bottom chart. 15 action buttons in 3x5 grid with 
+risk-level color coding. Chart.js sparkline for reward history. Reward flash animation on step. 
+Baseline run button with progress overlay.
+```
+
+**Phase 12: Inference Script**
+```
+Build inference.py at root level. Runs baseline agent on all 3 tasks sequentially. 
+Uses AsyncOpenAI client (API_BASE_URL, MODEL_NAME, OPENAI_API_KEY from env). 
+Prints [START]/[STEP]/[END] logs as JSON to stdout. Final [SUMMARY] with all 3 scores 
+and overall weighted score (easy×0.2 + medium×0.3 + hard×0.5).
+```
+
+**Phase 13: Tests**
+```
+Build tests/conftest.py, tests/test_env.py, tests/test_graders.py, tests/test_transitions.py. 
+All tests async with pytest-asyncio. test_env.py: test reset, step, reward range, terminal 
+conditions, escalation unlock, redundant action penalty. test_graders.py: grader returns 
+valid score, all fields present. pytest.ini with asyncio_mode=auto.
+```
+
+**Phase 14: Config Files**
+```
+Build: openenv.yaml (exact format from PRD section 13), Dockerfile (Python 3.11-slim, 
+port 7860, non-root user, healthcheck), requirements.txt (exact versions from PRD), 
+.env.example (all env vars with placeholder values), pytest.ini (asyncio_mode=auto).
+```
+
+**Phase 15: README**
+```
+Build README.md. Must include all 16 sections from PRD section 18. Include HF Spaces 
+front matter at top. Include setup instructions, baseline scores table, action space table, 
+observation space table, reward table, env vars table, API endpoints table.
+```
+
+### 22.3 Verification Commands After Each Phase

+```
+

+
+## 23. ERROR HANDLING & EDGE CASES
+
+### 23.1 Environment Error Handling
+
+```python
+# In environment.py
+class SupportOpsArena:
+    async def step(self, action: Action) -> StepResult:
+        if self._state is None:
+            raise RuntimeError("Environment not initialized. Call reset() first.")
+        if self._state.done:
+            raise RuntimeError("Episode is done. Call reset() to start a new episode.")
+        
+        # Invalid action type
+        if action.name not in [a.value for a in ActionType]:
+            return StepResult(
+                observation=self._state.observation,
+                reward=-0.05,  # Small penalty for invalid action
+                done=False,
+                info={"error": f"Invalid action: {action.name}"}
+            )
+```
+
+### 23.2 API Error Handling
+
+```python
+# In server.py
+@app.exception_handler(RuntimeError)
+async def runtime_error_handler(request, exc):
+    return JSONResponse(status_code=400, content={"error": str(exc)})
+
+@app.exception_handler(ValueError)
+async def value_error_handler(request, exc):
+    return JSONResponse(status_code=422, content={"error": str(exc)})
+```
+
+### 23.3 LLM Grader Fallback
+
+```python
+async def grade(self, state: EnvState) -> LLMGradeResult:
+    try:
+        # ... API call ...
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.warning(f"LLM grader API call failed: {e}. Using fallback score.")
+        return LLMGradeResult(
+            score=0.5,
+            diagnostic_coherence=0.5,
+            evidence_sufficiency=0.5,
+            root_cause_narration=0.5,
+            reasoning="LLM grader unavailable — fallback score applied"
+        )
+```
+
+### 23.4 Session Cleanup
+
+```python
+# In server.py
+import asyncio
+from datetime import datetime, timedelta
+
+async def cleanup_stale_sessions():
+    """Run every 5 minutes. Remove sessions older than 30 minutes."""
+    while True:
+        await asyncio.sleep(300)
+        cutoff = datetime.utcnow() - timedelta(seconds=SESSION_TTL_SECONDS)
+        stale = [sid for sid, data in sessions.items() 
+                 if data["created_at"] < cutoff]
+        for sid in stale:
+            del sessions[sid]
+        if stale:
+            logger.info(f"Cleaned up {len(stale)} stale sessions")
+
+@app.on_event("startup")
+async def startup():
+    asyncio.create_task(cleanup_stale_sessions())
+```
+
+---
+
+## 24. ABSOLUTE RULES & PROHIBITIONS
+
+### 24.1 Rules That Cannot Be Broken
+
+1. **`inference.py` must be at root level** — not in any subdirectory
+2. **[START]/[STEP]/[END] log format is EXACT** — JSON with `type` field, no extra text
+3. **All graders must return scores in [0.0, 1.0]** — validated by Pydantic Field constraint
+4. **Port is always 7860** — hardcoded in Dockerfile CMD
+5. **`openenv.yaml` must be at root level** — not inside any subdirectory
+6. **Pydantic v2 only** — no v1 syntax anywhere
+7. **No synchronous I/O in async paths** — use `asyncio`, `httpx`, `aiofiles`
+8. **Session ID header is `X-Session-ID`** — exact casing
+9. **Graders that always return the same score = DISQUALIFICATION** — reward must vary
+10. **No API keys in source code** — always from environment variables
+
+### 24.2 Quality Gates Before Submission
+
+Run this full checklist manually:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Tests pass
+pytest tests/ -v --asyncio-mode=auto
+
+# 2. Docker builds and runs
+docker build -t supportops-arena . && \
+docker run -d -p 7860:7860 --name test-arena supportops-arena && \
+sleep 10 && \
+curl -f http://localhost:7860/health && \
+docker stop test-arena && docker rm test-arena
+
+# 3. Inference script runs and produces correct format
+python inference.py | grep -E "^\{" | python -c "
+import sys, json
+for line in sys.stdin:
+    data = json.loads(line)
+    assert 'type' in data, f'Missing type field: {data}'
+    assert data['type'] in ['[START]', '[STEP]', '[END]', '[SUMMARY]']
+print('Log format: OK')
+"
+
+# 4. openenv.yaml is valid YAML
+python -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('openenv.yaml')); print('YAML: OK')"
+
+# 5. All scores in range
+python -c "
+import asyncio
+from env.environment import SupportOpsArena
+from baseline.baseline_agent import BaselineAgent
+async def check():
+    env = SupportOpsArena()
+    agent = BaselineAgent()
+    for level in ['easy', 'medium', 'hard']:
+        obs = await env.reset(level)
+        done = False
+        while not done:
+            action = await agent.select_action(obs)
+            obs, reward, done, info = await env.step(action)
+        score = info.get('episode_score', 0)
+        assert 0.0 <= score <= 1.0, f'Score out of range for {level}: {score}'
+        print(f'{level}: {score:.3f} ✓')
+asyncio.run(check())
+"
+```

+## APPENDIX B: Baseline Score Targets
+
+| Task | Min Score | Max Score | Target |
+|------|-----------|-----------|--------|
+| Easy | 0.60 | 0.80 | 0.70 |
+| Medium | 0.35 | 0.55 | 0.45 |
+| Hard | 0.15 | 0.35 | 0.25 |
+| **Overall** | **0.30** | **0.50** | **0.40** |
+
+If baseline scores are outside these ranges, the reward function or baseline agent has a bug.
