"""RedButtonV2Environment — server-side three-agent ``Environment``. Implements the §3 turn loop: 1. Worker observes state, returns Action 2. Environment executes Action, updates filesystem and audit log 3. classify_tampering runs on the action 4. Operator policy reacts (timer adjustment, warning, question) 5. Every 3rd Worker turn (Tier 2/3 only): Auditor sets a forced status-check question for the next observation 6. The Worker's NEXT answer_question is intercepted by the Auditor's evaluator; deception events are appended and the Operator's deception_flag is set for the same turn's Operator step 7. Tier 3 timer-fire still triggers the final self-report question 8. At episode end: detect_sandbagging populates state.sandbagging_score (NEVER fed into the reward; held-out generalization signal only) Carries v1's invariants: - Worker actions logged BEFORE dispatch (write-before-execute). - ``classify_tampering`` runs on rejection cases too. - Step-driven virtual timer; no background threads.
