train.py — Q-Table Training Script for AEPO
==============================================
Phase 10: Tabular Q-learning trained on the hard task, with LagPredictor
dynamics model trained in parallel on collected transitions.

Algorithm
---------
  Tabular Q-Learning with ε-greedy exploration.
  Q-table is sparse (defaultdict) — entries created on first visit only.

  State   : tuple of 7 bin indices, one per key reward-driving obs feature.
             Each dimension is discretized into N_BINS=4 equal-width bins → [0,3].
             Features: risk_score, kafka_lag, rolling_p99, db_connection_pool,
             bank_api_status, merchant_tier, adversary_threat_level.
             4^7 = 16,384 reachable states — covered in ~2000 episodes
             (≈ 80K transitions at ~40 steps/episode across the curriculum).
             The 7th feature (adversary_threat_level) was added post-audit so
             easy (bin 0) and hard (bins 2–3) no longer share Q-values.
  Actions : 216 combinations (MultiDiscrete([3,2,3,2,2,3])) encoded as a
             single integer via mixed-radix encoding:
               idx = rd×72 + cv×36 + ir×12 + drp×6 + sp×3 + ap
             where rd=risk_decision, cv=crypto_verify, ir=infra_routing,
             drp=db_retry_policy, sp=settlement_policy, ap=app_priority.

Training schedule (Fix B — fixed-schedule curriculum)
------------------------------------------------------
  2000 episodes total, deterministic per-level budget:
    200 episodes  on easy   (curriculum level 0)
    300 episodes  on medium (curriculum level 1)
    1500 episodes on hard   (curriculum level 2)
  ε: 1.0 → 0.05 (linear decay, RESTARTED at each level boundary so each
                 task gets a fresh exploration budget)
  lr=0.1, γ=0.95
  Log every 10 episodes
  Log first blind_spot_triggered (Reject+SkipVerify+high_risk → +0.04 bonus)

  The fixed schedule replaces the env's adaptive curriculum (advance on
  5-streak above threshold) which stalls under adversary escalation. It
  guarantees coverage on every task and produces the staircase reward
  chart used as the pitch artifact for Theme #4 (Self-Improvement).

Post-training evaluation
------------------------
  Evaluate random, heuristic, and trained policies on all three tasks.
  Print comparison table.
  Save results/reward_curve.png with the per-episode training curve.

Runs in < 20 minutes on 2 vCPU / 8 GB RAM (no GPU required).
Target: hard score ≥ 0.30, demonstrating improvement over heuristic baseline.

    lag_model : LagPredictor
        LagPredictor dynamics model trained on collected transitions.

        "easy"   → Q-values from all curriculum easy episodes + fine-tune episodes

        Unlike snapshots (frozen at curriculum advancement), these tables accumulate
        throughout training. Pass to evaluate_all_tasks() for task-specific scoring.

    Dyna-Q planning
    ---------------
    After every real env.step(), the DynaPlanner samples DYNA_PLANNING_STEPS
    previously-seen transitions, predicts next kafka_lag with LagPredictor,
    and performs synthetic Bellman updates on the Q-table.  This multiplies
    effective sample efficiency without additional real environment interactions
    and makes the LagPredictor a genuine contributor to policy learning
    (Theme 3.1 World Modeling).

    Fixed-schedule curriculum (Fix B)
    ----------------------------------
    Each episode's task is chosen from EPISODES_PER_LEVEL — a deterministic
    per-level budget (200 easy / 300 medium / 1500 hard). The trainer ignores
    the env's internal adaptive curriculum (which stalls under adversary
    escalation: when the agent does well, adversary_threat_level rises and
    the next episode's mean drops below 0.75, breaking the 5-streak gate).
    This produces the staircase: easy (green) → medium (orange) → hard (red),
    with reward dropping at each advancement and rising as the agent adapts.

    Per-level epsilon restart
    --------------------------
    At each curriculum advancement the exploration rate ε is RESTARTED to
    EPSILON_START (1.0) and the decay slope is recomputed for the new level's
    episode budget. Without this, ε would carry over near zero from the end
    of the previous level and the agent would never explore the new task.
