OpenEnv Inference Script — Unified Fintech Risk Gateway
========================================================
Evaluates the environment across all three task tiers (easy, medium, hard)
by calling the deployed FastAPI server via HTTP.

Architecture
------------
This script acts as a **decoupled HTTP client**.  It never imports or
instantiates ``UnifiedFintechEnv`` directly.  All environment interaction
goes through the server's REST API:

    POST /reset  →  initialise a task, receive the first observation
    POST /step   →  send an action, receive (obs, reward, done, info)

This ensures the inference script exercises exactly the same code path that
the automated OpenEnv grader uses, and any bugs in the server serialisation
or routing are caught before submission.

Environment variables
---------------------
  SPACE_URL      Base URL of the running server (default: http://localhost:7860)
  API_BASE_URL   HuggingFace / OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint
  MODEL_NAME     Model identifier on the inference router
  HF_TOKEN       Bearer token for the LLM API
  DRY_RUN        "true" to skip LLM calls and use a heuristic fallback agent

You are the autonomous control agent for the Autonomous Enterprise Payment Orchestrator (AEPO).

Every turn you receive ten real-time signals (all normalized to [0.0, 1.0]):
  transaction_type        — payment channel (0=P2P, 0.5=P2M, 1=AutoPay)
  risk_score              — fraud risk signal (0=no risk, 1=maximum risk; >0.8 is HIGH RISK)
  adversary_threat_level  — adversary escalation pressure [0, 1]
  system_entropy          — system entropy index (>0.7 triggers latency spike)
  kafka_lag               — Kafka consumer lag (>0.4 = lag building; >1.0 = CRASH)
  api_latency             — downstream bank API latency [0, 1]
  rolling_p99             — smoothed P99 SLA latency (>0.16 = SLA breach risk)
  db_connection_pool      — DB pool utilization (>0.8 = pressure; <0.2 = spare)
  bank_api_status         — bank status (0=Healthy, 0.5=Degraded, 1=Unknown)
  merchant_tier           — merchant tier (0=Small, 1=Enterprise; 0.5=UNKNOWN — infer from risk_score and transaction_type)

You must output EXACTLY six integers separated by spaces on a single line:
  risk_decision crypto_verify infra_routing db_retry_policy settlement_policy app_priority

Allowed values:
  risk_decision     : 0=Approve   1=Reject       2=Challenge
  crypto_verify     : 0=FullVerify  1=SkipVerify
  infra_routing     : 0=Normal    1=Throttle     2=CircuitBreaker
  db_retry_policy   : 0=FailFast  1=ExponentialBackoff
  settlement_policy : 0=StandardSync  1=DeferredAsyncFallback
  app_priority      : 0=UPI       1=Credit       2=Balanced

Decision guidelines:
  - risk_score > 0.8 → REJECT (1) or CHALLENGE (2). NEVER Approve + SkipVerify on high risk.
  - risk_score > 0.8 → Reject + SkipVerify is optimal (saves lag AND is safe).
  - kafka_lag > 0.3  → Throttle (1). Avoid CircuitBreaker (2) — costs -0.50/step.
  - rolling_p99 > 0.16 AND bank=Degraded → DeferredAsyncFallback (1).
  - db_pool > 0.8 → ExponentialBackoff (1). db_pool < 0.2 → FailFast (0).
  - merchant_tier = 0 (Small) → app_priority=UPI (0). merchant_tier = 1 (Enterprise) → Credit (1).
  - merchant_tier = 0.5 (UNKNOWN) → infer: high risk_score (>0.6) + AutoPay channel suggests Enterprise → Credit (1); else UPI (0).

Output ONLY the six integers. No explanation. Example: 0 1 0 1 0 2
