#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ End-to-end demo: Self-improving agent solving a simulated maze-search task. This demo shows: 1. The full Actor → Purpose Function → Experience Replay → Optimizer loop 2. How the agent improves across multiple task attempts 3. The 3-tier memory system in action 4. Anti-reward-hacking safeguards 5. Q-value experience retrieval No real LLM calls — uses MockLLMBackend with deterministic behavior so you can see the architecture working end-to-end.
