-
-## Component Details
-
-### 1. Models Layer (`models.py`)
-
-**Purpose:** Type safety and data validation using Pydantic
-
-**Components:**
-
-#### EmailObservation
-- **Role:** Agent input at episode start
-- **Fields:**
-  - `email_id`: Unique identifier
-  - `subject`: Email subject line
-  - `body`: Email body (1-500 words)
-  - `customer_history`: Customer context
-  - `step_count`: Episode step counter
-- **Validation:** All fields required, types enforced
-
-#### EmailAction
-- **Role:** Agent output / environment input
-- **Fields:**
-  - `category`: One of {billing, tech, complaint, spam}
-  - `priority`: One of {low, medium, high}
-  - `response`: String (20-1000 characters)
-- **Enforcement:** Pydantic validates before grading
-
-#### EmailState
-- **Role:** Internal environment state tracking
-- **Fields:**
-  - `episode_id`: Unique per episode
-  - `step_count`: Incremented on each step
-  - `done`: Boolean completion flag
-  - `current_email`: ID of active email
-  - `total_reward`: Cumulative episode reward
-
-#### StepReturn / ResetReturn
-- **Role:** Standardized API response types
-- **Benefits:** Type hints for all API consumers
-
-### 2. Grader Layer (`server/grader.py`)
-
-**Philosophy:** Deterministic, reproducible, multi-component scoring
-
-**Key Functions:**
-
-#### `grade_category()`
-```
-Input: predicted_category, ground_truth_category
-Output: 1.0 (correct) or 0.0 (incorrect)
-Properties: Binary, case-insensitive, deterministic
-```
-
-#### `grade_priority()`
-```
-Input: predicted_priority, ground_truth_priority
-Output: 1.0 (correct) or 0.0 (incorrect)
-Properties: Binary, case-insensitive, deterministic
-```
-
-#### `grade_response_quality()`
-```
-Input: response_text, category, customer_history
-Output: Score between 0.0 and 1.0
-Components:
-  50% - Length appropriateness
-    • < 20 words: scaled penalty
-    • 30-150 words: full score
-    • > 200 words: verbosity penalty
-  30% - Politeness markers
-    • Contains ("sorry", "apologize", ...): 1.0
-    • Otherwise: 0.5
-  20% - Category relevance
-    • Category-specific keywords: 1.0
-    • Missing context: 0.6-0.7
-Properties: Continuous, deterministic, interpretable
-```
-
-#### `grade_action()` [MAIN]
-```
-Input: email_task, action
-Output: (final_reward, score_breakdown_dict)
-
-Computation:
-  final_reward = 0.40 * category_score 
-               + 0.30 * priority_score 
-               + 0.30 * response_score
-
-Guarantees:
-  • Always deterministic
-  • Always 3 decimal places precision
-  • Always in [0.0, 1.0]
-  • Breakdown includes all components
-```
-
-**Determinism Properties:**
-
-1. **No randomness:** All operations are deterministic functions
-2. **No floating-point issues:** Rounded to 3 decimal places
-3. **Reproducibility:** Same action + email = same score always
-4. **Auditability:** Score breakdown shows all components
-
-### 3. Environment Layer (`server/environment.py`)
-
-**Role:** Core RL environment implementing reset/step pattern
-
-**Class: `CustomerSupportEnv`**
-
-```python
-class CustomerSupportEnv:
-    def __init__(self):
-        # Initialize task queue with 3 emails
-        # Track episode count and current state
-    
-    def reset(self):
-        # Returns: {observation, info}
-        # Guarantees: Always returns next task
-        # Side effect: Increments episode_count
-    
-    def step(self, action: EmailAction):
-        # Returns: {observation, reward, done, info}
-        # Guarantees: Always sets done=True (single-step)
-        # Computation: Calls grader for reward
-    
-    def get_state(self):
-        # Returns: Current environment state as dict
-    
-    def get_stats(self):
-        # Returns: Episode counts and task queue status
-```
-
-**Task Queue:**
-
-Initialized with 3 tasks (difficulty progression):
-
-1. **Easy (email_001):** Clear billing issue
-   - Unambiguous intent
-   - Established customer
-   - Expected reward: 0.80+
-
-2. **Medium (email_002):** Technical issue
-   - Requires interpretation
-   - Priority judgment needed
-   - Expected reward: 0.65-0.75
-
-3. **Hard (email_003):** Complaint escalation
-   - Emotional tone
-   - High-value customer
-   - Expected reward: 0.45-0.65
-
-**Episode Structure:**
-
-```
-reset() → (observation, info, state)
-   ↓
-agent processes observation
-   ↓
-agent selects action
-   ↓
-step(action) → (observation, reward, done=True, info)
-   ↓
-episode ends
-```
-
-### 4. API Layer (`server/app.py`)
-
-**Framework:** FastAPI (async Python web framework)
-
-**Endpoints:**
-
-| Route | Method | Role |
-|-------|--------|------|
-| `/health` | GET | Health check |
-| `/info` | GET | Environment metadata |
-| `/reset` | POST | Start new episode |
-| `/step` | POST | Execute action |
-| `/state` | GET | Current state |
-| `/stats` | GET | Stats |
-
-**Key Properties:**
-
-- Async request handling
-- CORS enabled (all origins)
-- Automatic OpenAPI documentation
-- Input validation via Pydantic
-- Error handling with HTTP status codes
-
-**Request/Response Example:**
-
-```bash
-POST /step
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "category": "billing",
-  "priority": "high",
-  "response": "Thank you for reporting this..."
-}
-
-Response (200):
-{
-  "observation": {...},
-  "reward": 0.82,
-  "done": true,
-  "info": {...}
-}
-```
-
-### 5. Client Layer (`client.py`)
-
-**Purpose:** Convenient Python client for interacting with server
-
-**Class: `EnvironmentClient`**
-
-```python
-class EnvironmentClient:
-    def health_check() -> bool
-    def get_info() -> Dict
-    def reset() -> Dict  # Returns EmailObservation
-    def step(action: EmailAction) -> Dict
-    def get_state() -> Dict
-    def get_stats() -> Dict
-```
-
-**Benefits:**
-
-- Type hints for all operations
-- Automatic JSON serialization/deserialization
-- Connection pooling (requests.Session)
-- Context manager support (`with` statement)
-
-### 6. Inference Layer (`inference.py`)
-
-**Purpose:** User-facing script demonstrating agent-environment interaction
-
-**Features:**
-
-1. **LLM Integration:**
-   - Uses OpenAI Python client
-   - Supports any OpenAI-compatible API
-   - Graceful fallback if LLM unavailable
-
-2. **Heuristic Fallback:**
-   - Email content analysis
-   - Keyword-based classification
-   - Context-appropriate response generation
-
-3. **Logging:**
-   - Strict format compliance: `[START] ... [STEP] ... [END]`
-   - 2-decimal reward precision
-   - 3-decimal final score precision
-   - Deterministic success threshold (score > 0.5)
-
-**Output Format:**
-
-```
-[START] task=email_001 env=customer_support_env model=llama2
-[STEP] step=1 action={...} reward=0.82 done=true error=null
-[END] success=true steps=1 score=0.820 rewards=0.82
-```
-
-## Data Flow
-
-### Complete Episode Walkthrough
-
-```
-1. RESET PHASE
-   ├─ Client: POST /reset
-   ├─ Server: env.reset()
-   │  └─ Load task from queue (email_001.json)
-   │  └─ Create EmailState (episode_1)
-   │  └─ Return EmailObservation + metadata
-   └─ Client receives observation
-
-2. DECISION PHASE
-   ├─ Agent analyzes observation
-   │  ├─ Subject: "Refund request - duplicate charge"
-   │  ├─ Body: "I was charged twice..."
-   │  └─ History: "Premium subscriber..."
-   └─ Agent generates action
-      ├─ category: "billing" (classification)
-      ├─ priority: "high" (prioritization)
-      └─ response: "Thank you, I process..." (generation)
-
-3. STEP PHASE
-   ├─ Client: POST /step with action
-   ├─ Server: env.step(action)
-   │  ├─ Call grader.grade_action(task, action)
-   │  │  ├─ grade_category("billing", "billing") = 1.0
-   │  │  ├─ grade_priority("high", "high") = 1.0
-   │  │  ├─ grade_response_quality(...) = 0.7
-   │  │  └─ final = 0.40*1.0 + 0.30*1.0 + 0.30*0.7 = 0.82
-   │  └─ Return reward=0.82, done=True
-   └─ Client receives step result
-
-4. LOGGING PHASE
-   ├─ Inference script formats output
-   ├─ Prints: [START] ... [STEP] ... [END]
-   └─ Episode complete

-## Key Design Decisions
-
-### 1. Single-Step Episodes
-
-**Decision:** Each email = one complete episode
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Email triage is fundamentally task-complete after action
-- No multi-step dependencies
-- Simplifies episode termination logic
-- Clear success/failure signals
-
-### 2. Multi-Component Reward
-
-**Decision:** 3 components (category, priority, response) with weighted combination
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Enables learning all aspects of the task
-- Different weights reflect business importance
-- Continuous reward facilitates gradient descent
-- Partial credit for partial success
-
-### 3. Deterministic Grading
-
-**Decision:** No randomness in reward computation
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Reproducible training/evaluation
-- Fair comparison between agents
-- Easier debugging
-- Verifiable correctness
-
-### 4. FastAPI + Uvicorn
-
-**Decision:** REST API architecture instead of in-process
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Language agnostic (any client can use)
-- Horizontal scalability
-- Easier deployment to cloud services
-- Industry standard for ML services
-
-### 5. Pydantic Models
-
-**Decision:** Strict type validation on all I/O
-
-**Rationale:**
-- Catches agent programming errors early
-- Self-documenting API
-- Automatic serialization/deserialization
-- IDE autocomplete support
-
-## Performance Characteristics
-
-### Time Complexity
-
-| Operation | Complexity | Typical Time |
-|-----------|-----------|--------------|
-| reset() | O(1) | <1ms |
-| step() | O(k) where k=response length | 1-3ms |
-| grade_action() | O(k) | 1-2ms |
-| Full episode | O(1) | 5-50ms |
-
-### Space Complexity
-
-| Component | Memory |
-|-----------|--------|
-| Environment state | ~1KB |
-| Single episode | ~10KB |
-| Server (idle) | ~50MB |
-| Total footprint | <100MB |
-
-### Scalability
-
-- **Horizontal:** Can run multiple instances behind load balancer
-- **Vertical:** CPU-bound (response quality computation)
-- **Bottleneck:** LLM inference (external, not environment)
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-### Unit Tests
-- Model validation
-- Component grading functions
-- State management
-
-### Integration Tests
-- Full episodes
-- Determinism of rewards
-- Multiple episodes in sequence
-
-### End-to-End Tests
-- Client-server communication
-- FastAPI routing
-- Error handling
-
-## Monitoring & Debugging
-
-### Available Metrics
-
-- Episode count
-- Task queue status
-- Current state
-- Score breakdown per component
-
-### Debug Logging
-
-```python
-# In grader
-breakdown = {
-    "category_score": 1.0,
-    "priority_score": 1.0,
-    "response_score": 0.7,
-    "final_reward": 0.82,
-    "weights": {...},
-    "ground_truth_category": "billing",
-    "predicted_category": "billing"
-}
-```
-
-## Future Extensions
-
-### Potential Enhancements
-
-1. **Multi-turn Episodes:** Allow agent to ask clarifying questions
-2. **Dynamic Rewards:** Adjust difficulty based on performance
-3. **Custom Tasks:** API to inject new email tasks
-4. **Knowledge Base:** Integration with company FAQ
-5. **User Feedback:** Learning from actual support agent feedback
-6. **Analytics:** Dashboard for tracking agent performance
-
-### Backward Compatibility
-
-Current design maintains API compatibility for these extensions without modifications.

-# PROJECT OVERVIEW
-
-This project is a **production-grade, multi-step Reinforcement Learning environment** designed to simulate real-world customer support email triage workflows. It implements a 5-step episodic workflow where AI agents must:
-
-1. **Classify** incoming emails (billing/tech/complaint/spam)
-2. **Prioritize** issues (low/medium/high)
-3. **Decide strategy** (auto_resolve/request_more_info/offer_refund/escalate_to_human)
-4. **Generate responses** (professional customer replies)
-5. **Escalate** (optional, for VIP/complex cases)
-
-The environment is **deterministic**, **OpenEnv-compliant**, and provides **detailed reward signals** for each step.

-# models.py - COMPLETE BREAKDOWN
-
-**Purpose:** Defines all data structures using Pydantic for type-safety and validation.
-
-## IMPORTS (Lines 1-3)
-
-```python
-from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, validator
-from typing import Optional, Dict, Any, List, Union
-from enum import Enum
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- `BaseModel`: Pydantic base class for automatic validation, serialization, and documentation
-- `Field`: Decorator for adding metadata (descriptions) to model fields
-- `validator`: Decorator for custom validation logic on fields
-- `typing`: Python's type hints for static analysis and documentation
-- `Enum`: Base class for creating enumerated types (fixed set of values)
-
----
-
-## ACTION TYPES (Lines 6-10)
-
-```python
-class ActionType(str, Enum):
-    """Valid action types in the multi-step workflow"""
-    CLASSIFY = "classify"
-    PRIORITIZE = "prioritize"
-    DECIDE_STRATEGY = "decide_strategy"
-    RESPOND = "respond"
-    ESCALATE = "escalate"
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- `(str, Enum)`: Creates an enumeration that also behaves as strings (useful for JSON serialization)
-- **CLASSIFY**: Step 1 - Agent categorizes the email into one of 4 categories
-- **PRIORITIZE**: Step 2 - Agent assigns urgency level (low/medium/high)
-- **DECIDE_STRATEGY**: Step 3 - Agent chooses resolution approach
-- **RESPOND**: Step 4 - Agent generates professional customer response
-- **ESCALATE**: Step 5 (optional) - Agent escalates to human handling
-- Using `Enum` ensures type safety; code can't pass invalid action types
-
----
-
-## STRATEGY TYPES (Lines 13-18)
-
-```python
-class StrategyType(str, Enum):
-    """Valid strategy types for handling emails"""
-    AUTO_RESOLVE = "auto_resolve"
-    REQUEST_MORE_INFO = "request_more_info"
-    OFFER_REFUND = "offer_refund"
-    ESCALATE_TO_HUMAN = "escalate_to_human"
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- **AUTO_RESOLVE**: Handle the issue automatically without human intervention
-- **REQUEST_MORE_INFO**: Ask customer for additional details before resolving
-- **OFFER_REFUND**: Provide financial compensation for service failures
-- **ESCALATE_TO_HUMAN**: Route to human agent for complex/sensitive issues
-- These are the only valid strategies; anything else fails validation
-
----
-
-## EMAIL OBSERVATION (Lines 21-50)
-
-```python
-class EmailObservation(BaseModel):
-    """Enhanced observation representing incoming customer support email with workflow context"""
-    email_id: str = Field(..., description="Unique email identifier")
-    subject: str = Field(..., description="Email subject line")
-    body: str = Field(..., description="Email body content")
-    customer_history: str = Field(..., description="Summary of customer interaction history")
-    step_count: int = Field(default=0, description="Current step in workflow (0-5)")
-    workflow_step: str = Field(..., description="Current workflow step name")
-    available_actions: List[str] = Field(..., description="List of valid action types for current step")
-    available_tools: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list, description="List of available tools for agent use")
-    previous_decisions: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict, description="Previous agent decisions in this episode")
-    customer_sentiment: str = Field(..., description="Detected customer sentiment: positive, neutral, negative, angry")
-    urgency_indicators: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list, description="Detected urgency indicators from email")
-    tool_result: Optional[ToolResult] = Field(default=None, description="Result from last tool execution")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- This is what the agent observes at each step (like a game state in RL)
-- `email_id`: Used to track which email is being processed
-- `subject`/`body`: The actual customer message content
-- `customer_history`: Context about the customer (VIP status, complaint history, etc.)
-- `step_count`: How many steps the agent has already taken (0-5)
-- `workflow_step`: Current stage name (e.g., "classification", "prioritization")
-- `available_actions`: Agent can only take actions from this list at this step
-- `available_tools`: Tools (lookup_customer, search_history, check_policy) the agent can use
-- `previous_decisions`: Keeps track of agent's prior decisions for multi-step coherence
-- `customer_sentiment`: Detected emotional tone (helps agent decide urgency)
-- `urgency_indicators`: Keywords like "urgent", "immediately", "emergency" extracted from email
-- `tool_result`: If agent used a tool in previous step, result is included here
-- `Field(...)`: Required field (no default)
-- `Field(default=...)`: Optional with default value
-- `Field(default_factory=...)`: Creates new empty collection for each instance
-
-**Config Section (Lines 48-60):**
-```python
-class Config:
-    json_schema_extra = {
-        "example": {
-            "email_id": "email_001",
-            "subject": "Refund request - duplicate charge",
-            ...
-        }
-    }
-```
-- Adds example data to OpenAPI documentation for judges/API users
-
----
-
-## EMAIL ACTION (Lines 63-100)
-
-```python
-class EmailAction(BaseModel):
-    """Enhanced action with action_type, content, and tool support for multi-step workflow"""
-    action_type: ActionType = Field(..., description="Type of action being taken")
-    content: Union[str, Dict[str, Any]] = Field(..., description="Action content (string for responses, dict for structured data)")
-    tool_action: Optional[ToolAction] = Field(default=None, description="Tool action if using a tool")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- This is what the agent outputs (actions it wants to take)
-- `action_type`: Must be one of the 5 action types defined above
-- `content`: 
-  - For CLASSIFY: The category string ("billing", "tech", "complaint", "spam")
-  - For PRIORITIZE: Priority string ("low", "medium", "high")
-  - For RESPOND: Full response text
-  - For ESCALATE: Dictionary with {"reason": "...", "escalation_level": "..."}
-- `Union[str, Dict[str, Any]]`: Content can be either string OR dictionary depending on action
-- `tool_action`: Optional object for tool-using actions (agent can use tools during steps)
-
-**Validator (Lines 101-125):**
-```python
-@validator('content')
-def validate_content(cls, v, values):
-    """Validate content based on action_type"""
-    if 'action_type' not in values:
-        return v
-    
-    action_type = values['action_type']
-    
-    if action_type == ActionType.CLASSIFY:
-        if not isinstance(v, str) or v not in ["billing", "tech", "complaint", "spam"]:
-            raise ValueError("Classification content must be one of: billing, tech, complaint, spam")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Custom validation that checks `content` validity **based on action_type**
-- For CLASSIFY: Must be exactly one of the 4 categories
-- For PRIORITIZE: Must be "low", "medium", or "high"
-- For RESPOND: Must be string with minimum 10 characters
-- For ESCALATE: Must be dictionary with "reason" key
-- This validates data BEFORE it's stored, preventing invalid actions
-
----
-
-## EMAIL STATE (Lines 128-180)
-
-```python
-class EmailState(BaseModel):
-    """Enhanced state tracking workflow progress and decisions"""
-    episode_id: str = Field(..., description="Unique episode identifier")
-    step_count: int = Field(default=0, description="Number of steps taken (0-5)")
-    done: bool = Field(default=False, description="Whether episode is complete")
-    current_email: Optional[str] = Field(default=None, description="Current email ID being processed")
-    total_reward: float = Field(default=0.0, description="Cumulative episode reward")
-    
-    # Workflow state
-    classification: Optional[str] = Field(default=None, description="Agent's classification decision")
-    priority: Optional[str] = Field(default=None, description="Agent's priority decision")
-    strategy: Optional[str] = Field(default=None, description="Agent's strategy decision")
-    response: Optional[str] = Field(default=None, description="Agent's response text")
-    escalation: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = Field(default=None, description="Escalation decision if taken")
-    
-    # Validation state
-    invalid_actions: int = Field(default=0, description="Count of invalid actions taken")
-    workflow_completed: bool = Field(default=False, description="Whether full workflow was completed")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- This tracks the **internal state** of the environment (not directly visible to agent)
-- `episode_id`: Unique identifier for tracking this episode across logs
-- `step_count`: How many steps taken (environment increments after each agent action)
-- `done`: Flag indicating whether episode has ended
-- `current_email`: Which email is being processed in this episode
-- `total_reward`: Sum of all rewards so far (stored for logging)
-- **Workflow decisions**: Stores each decision the agent makes
-  - `classification`: Agent's answer to step 1
-  - `priority`: Agent's answer to step 2
-  - `strategy`: Agent's answer to step 3
-  - `response`: Agent's answer to step 4
-  - `escalation`: Agent's escalation decision for step 5
-- `invalid_actions`: Counts how many invalid action attempts agent made (for penalty)
-- `workflow_completed`: Flag for whether agent completed all required steps
-
----
-
-## STEP RETURN (Lines 183-193)
-
-```python
-class StepReturn(BaseModel):
-    """Return value from step() method with enhanced info"""
-    observation: EmailObservation = Field(..., description="New observation")
-    reward: float = Field(..., description="Reward for this step (incremental)")
-    done: bool = Field(..., description="Whether episode is complete")
-    info: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict, description="Additional info and score breakdown")
-    step_reward_breakdown: Dict[str, float] = Field(default_factory=dict, description="Breakdown of reward components for this step")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- What the environment returns after agent takes one step
-- `observation`: New state after action (what agent observes next)
-- `reward`: Floating point reward (incremental, not cumulative)
-- `done`: Whether episode is complete (agent completes workflow or hits max steps)
-- `info`: Dictionary with metadata about the step:
-  - Score breakdown showing how reward was calculated
-  - Workflow state updates
-  - Error messages (if action was invalid)
-- `step_reward_breakdown`: Detailed breakdown of reward calculation (e.g., classification_score=1.0, priority_score=0.8, etc.)

-
-## RESET RETURN (Lines 196-200)
-
-```python
-class ResetReturn(BaseModel):
-    """Return value from reset() method"""
-    observation: EmailObservation = Field(..., description="Initial observation for new episode")
-    info: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict, description="Metadata about episode")
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- What environment returns when agent calls reset() to start new episode
-- `observation`: The initial state/email the agent will process
-- `info`: Metadata (episode ID, difficulty, task info, etc.)
-
----
-
-## TOOL TYPES (Lines 203-207)
-
-```python
-class ToolType(str, Enum):
-    """Available tools for agent use"""
-    LOOKUP_CUSTOMER = "lookup_customer"
-    SEARCH_HISTORY = "search_history"
-    CHECK_POLICY = "check_policy"
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Agents can use external tools to gather information
-- **LOOKUP_CUSTOMER**: Get customer profile (account type, lifetime value, satisfaction score)
-- **SEARCH_HISTORY**: Find past interactions with this customer
-- **CHECK_POLICY**: Look up company policies relevant to the issue
-
----
-
-## TOOL ACTION (Lines 210-219)
-
-```python
-class ToolAction(BaseModel):
-    """Tool usage action"""
-    tool_type: ToolType
-    parameters: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict)
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Specifies which tool to use and what parameters to pass
-- Example: `{"tool_type": "lookup_customer", "parameters": {"customer_id": "12345"}}`
-
----
-
-## TOOL RESULT (Lines 222-229)
-
-```python
-class ToolResult(BaseModel):
-    """Result from tool execution"""
-    tool_type: ToolType
-    success: bool
-    data: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict)
-    error: Optional[str] = None
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Response after environment executes a tool
-- `success`: Whether tool execution succeeded
-- `data`: Returned information (customer profile, history, policy details)
-- `error`: Error message if execution failed
-
----
-
-## WORKFLOW STEP CONSTANTS (Lines 232-239)
-
-```python
-class WorkflowStep:
-    """Constants for workflow steps"""
-    CLASSIFICATION = "classification"
-    PRIORITIZATION = "prioritization"
-    STRATEGY_DECISION = "strategy_decision"
-    RESPONSE_GENERATION = "response_generation"
-    ESCALATION_DECISION = "escalation_decision"
-    COMPLETED = "completed"
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- String constants for workflow step names
-- Used to identify current step in observations (easier than using numbers)
-- Makes code more maintainable (can change step names in one place)
-
----
-
-## REWARD WEIGHTS CONSTANTS (Lines 242-255)
-
-```python
-class RewardWeights:
-    """Constants for reward calculation"""
-    CLASSIFICATION_WEIGHT = 0.3      # 30% of total reward
-    PRIORITY_WEIGHT = 0.2            # 20% of total reward
-    STRATEGY_WEIGHT = 0.2            # 20% of total reward
-    RESPONSE_WEIGHT = 0.2            # 20% of total reward
-    ESCALATION_WEIGHT = 0.1          # 10% of total reward
-    
-    # Response quality sub-weights
-    RESPONSE_LENGTH_WEIGHT = 0.4     # Length matters 40% for response
-    RESPONSE_POLITENESS_WEIGHT = 0.3 # Politeness matters 30%
-    RESPONSE_RELEVANCE_WEIGHT = 0.2  # Relevance matters 20%
-    RESPONSE_MEMORY_WEIGHT = 0.1     # Using customer history matters 10%
-    
-    # Penalties
-    INVALID_ACTION_PENALTY = -0.1    # Penalty for invalid actions
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- **Total reward formula**: classification_score × 0.3 + priority_score × 0.2 + strategy_score × 0.2 + response_score × 0.2 + escalation_score × 0.1
-- Each step is weighted; classification is weighted most (30%), escalation least (10%)
-- **Response breakdown**: If agent generates response, its quality is computed as:
-  - 40% based on length (too short or too long = lower score)
-  - 30% based on politeness markers (words like "sorry", "please", "appreciate")
-  - 20% based on relevance to category (billing response should mention billing)
-  - 10% for using customer history (personalizing response with customer context)

-# server/app.py - FASTAPI SERVER
-
-**Purpose:** Exposes REST API endpoints for the environment. Agents interact through HTTP.
-
-## IMPORTS AND SETUP (Lines 1-23)
-
-```python
-from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
-from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware
-from typing import Dict, Any
-import sys
-import os
-
-sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))))
-
-from models import EmailAction, EmailObservation, EmailState
-from .environment import CustomerSupportEnv
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- `FastAPI`: Modern Python web framework for building REST APIs
-- `HTTPException`: For returning HTTP error codes (400, 500, etc.)
-- `CORSMiddleware`: Allows cross-origin requests (agents can be on different machines)
-- `sys.path.insert(0, ...)`: Adds parent directory to Python path so imports work (models.py is one level up)
-- Imports the data models and the environment class
-
----
-
-## APP INITIALIZATION (Lines 26-33)
-
-```python
-app = FastAPI(
-    title="Customer Support Email Triage Environment",
-    description="OpenEnv-compliant environment for email classification and response generation",

-    allow_credentials=True,
-    allow_methods=["*"],
-    allow_headers=["*"],
-)
-
-env = CustomerSupportEnv()
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Creates FastAPI application instance
-- `title`, `description`, `version`: Show in OpenAPI documentation (auto-generated at `/docs`)
-- **CORS Middleware**: 
-  - `allow_origins=["*"]`: Accept requests from any origin
-  - `allow_methods=["*"]`: Allow all HTTP methods (GET, POST, etc.)
-  - `allow_headers=["*"]`: Accept any headers
-  - Without this, agents on different servers couldn't communicate
-- `env = CustomerSupportEnv()`: Creates single environment instance (shared across all requests)

-
-**Explanation:**
-- `@app.get("/health")`: HTTP GET request to `/health` calls this function
-- Simple endpoint to verify server is running
-- Returns `{"status": "healthy"}` and HTTP 200 OK
-- Judges use this to verify Docker container is working before testing

-        "tasks": 3,
-        "episode_type": "single-step"
-    }
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- Returns environment metadata (what an agent needs to know)
-- `action_space`: What actions agent can take
-- `observation_space`: What agent can observe
-- `reward_range`: Min and max possible rewards (normalized to [0, 1])
-- Judges use this to verify environment specification

-        }
-    except Exception as e:
-        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- `@app.post("/reset")`: HTTP POST to `/reset` starts new episode
-- Calls `env.reset()` which:
-  1. Picks random email from task queue
-  2. Analyzes sentiment and urgency
-  3. Creates fresh workflow state
-  4. Returns initial observation

-```
-
-**Explanation:**
-- `@app.post("/step")`: Agent POSTs action to take one workflow step
-- FastAPI automatically validates input against `EmailAction` model
-- Calls `env.step(action)` which:
-  1. Validates action is appropriate for current step
-  2. Calculates reward
-  3. Updates internal state
-  4. Returns new observation and reward
-- Returns the full result: observation, reward, done flag, and info
-- `RuntimeError` returns 400 (bad request) for invalid actions
-- Other exceptions return 500 (server error)

-  - **Politeness** (30%): Must contain empathetic language
-    - With politeness markers: 1.0
-    - Without: 0.5
-  - **Relevance** (20%): Category-specific keywords
-    - Billing response must mention "refund", "charge", "payment", etc.
-    - Tech response must mention "fix", "issue", "troubleshoot", etc.
-    - Complaint response must mention "apologize", "understand", "compensate", etc.
-  - **Memory** (10%): Using customer history in response
-    - "As a VIP customer" (using VIP status): 1.0
-    - "I can see you had previous issues" (referencing history): 1.0

-# COMPLETE WORKFLOW ANALYSIS
-
-## Episode Lifecycle
-
-```
-1. RESET PHASE
-   ├─ Agent: POST /reset
-   ├─ Env: Select email from queue
-   ├─ Env: Analyze sentiment & urgency
-   ├─ Env: Create EmailState, initialialize workflow_state
-   └─ Response: {observation, info}
-
-2. STEP LOOP (Repeats for steps 1-5 until done)
-   ├─ Agent generates appropriate action for this step
-   ├─ Agent: POST /step with action
-   ├─ Env: Validate action for current step
-   ├─ Env: Calculate reward using grader functions
-   ├─ Env: Update workflow_state with decision
-   ├─ Env: Check if episode complete
-   ├─ Env: Apply completion bonuses if done
-   └─ Response: {observation, reward, done, info}
-
-3. EPISODE END
-   ├─ Agent logs: [END] success steps score rewards
-   ├─ Judge can analyze: Which steps agent got right/wrong
-   ├─ Scores stored for evaluation
-   └─ Determinism verified across runs

-## Reward Flow Example
-
-```
-Email: "I was charged TWICE. URGENT refund needed. VIP customer."
-
-Step 1 - CLASSIFY: Pred=billing, Ground=billing
-  → 1.0 × 0.30 (classification weight) = 0.30
-
-Step 2 - PRIORITIZE: Pred=high, Ground=high, Has urgency keywords
-  → (1.0 + 0.2 bonus) × 0.20 = 0.24
-
-Step 3 - STRATEGY: Pred=escalate_to_human, Expected=escalate_to_human (VIP+angry)
-  → 1.0 × 0.20 = 0.20
-
-Step 4 - RESPOND: Quality=0.8 (good politeness, relevant, uses "VIP")
-  → 0.8 × 0.20 = 0.16
-
-Step 5 - ESCALATE: Correct escalation (required, did escalate)
-  → (0.5 + 0.1 bonus) × 0.10 = 0.06
-
-EPISODE COMPLETE:
-  + 0.10 (all steps finished)
-  + 0.05 (strategy-response alignment)
-  - 0.00 (escalation was required and done)
-  
-TOTAL: 0.30 + 0.24 + 0.20 + 0.16 + 0.06 + 0.15 = 1.11
-
-NORMALIZE: 1.11 / 2.5 = 0.444 → [0, 1] range ✓

-# SUMMARY
-
-## What Makes This Environment Special
-
-1. **Multi-Step Workflow** ✅
-   - Not single-action like most
-   - Realistic 5-step customer support process
-   - Requires coherent decision-making
-
-2. **Deterministic Grading** ✅

-   - Tools don't advance workflow but provide info
-
-4. **Task Diversity** ✅
-   - 12 diverse scenarios from easy to hard
-   - Tests different skills (classification, empathy, judgment)
-
-5. **Nuanced Rewards** ✅
-   - Response quality on 4 dimensions (length, politeness, relevance, memory)
-   - Strategy grading allows partial credit
-   - Escalation penalties/bonuses for business sensibility
-
-6. **Production Ready** ✅
-   - FastAPI server (scalable)
-   - Docker deployment (reproducible)

-   - Space SDK: Docker
-3. Upload this entire directory
-   - Can use: git clone your-repo OR drag-drop files
-4. Wait for build (~10 minutes)
-   - HF will run: docker build -t . && docker run -p 8000:8000
-5. Test endpoint:
-   curl https://[your-username]-customer-support-env.hf.space/reset
-6. If HTTP 200 + valid JSON → SUCCESS ✅
-
-Then: Go to FINAL STEPS section below
-```
-
-📖 **Full Guide:** [HF_SPACE_DEPLOYMENT.md](HF_SPACE_DEPLOYMENT.md)

-
-### PATH B: Local Docker Test First (Confidence Building)
-**Time: 35 minutes total**
-
-```
-1. Open terminal in project directory
-2. Run: docker build -t customer-env .
-   - Wait for build (5-10 min depending on cached layers)
-3. Run: docker run -p 8000:8000 customer-env
-   - Wait for startup
-4. In another terminal: 
-   curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/reset
-   - Should get HTTP 200 + valid JSON
-5. Test more endpoints if desired
-6. Once local test passes → Deploy to HF Space (Path A)

-
-### Stop running container
-```bash
-# Press CTRL+C in the container terminal, or in another terminal:
-docker stop $(docker ps -q --filter ancestor=customer-env)
-```
-
-### List built images
-```bash
-docker images | grep customer-env
-# Output: customer-env    latest    abc123def456    1 minute ago    950MB
-```
-
-### Remove image (if needed)
-```bash
-docker rmi customer-env

-## Verification Checklist
-
-Before proceeding to HF Space:
-
-- [ ] `docker build` completes successfully
-- [ ] `docker run` starts without errors
-- [ ] Container logs show "Application startup complete"
-- [ ] `/health` returns `{"status":"healthy"}`
-- [ ] `/reset` returns HTTP 200 + valid JSON
-- [ ] `/step` returns HTTP 200 + reward field
-- [ ] `inference.py` runs against container
-- [ ] Output formatting is correct (2 decimals for rewards, 3 for score)
-
-✓ **If all pass, ready for HF deployment**
-
----
-
-## Performance Notes
-
-**Expected container startup:** 3-5 seconds
-**Expected /reset latency:** <500ms
-**Expected /step latency:** <500ms
-**Container memory usage:** ~300-500MB
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Container exits immediately
-**Check logs:**
-```bash
-docker run customer-env
-# See error output before exit
-```
-
-**Common cause:** Syntax error in Python
-- Fix error in source
-- Rebuild: `docker build -t customer-env .`
-
-### Permission denied
-```bash
-sudo docker build -t customer-env .
-sudo docker run -p 8000:8000 customer-env
-```
-
-### Port already in use
-```bash
-# Use different port
-docker run -p 8001:8000 customer-env
-
-# Then test on 8001
-curl http://localhost:8001/health
-```
-
-### Need to inspect running container
-```bash
-docker exec -it $(docker ps -q) /bin/bash
-# Now inside container shell
-cd /app
-ls
-```
-
----
-
-## Next: HF Space Deployment
-
-Once Docker local testing passes, follow [HF_SPACE_DEPLOYMENT.md](HF_SPACE_DEPLOYMENT.md) to deploy to Hugging Face Spaces.

-## ARCHITECTURE HIGHLIGHTS
-
-### Multi-Step Workflow
-```
-Step 1 (Classification): Categorize email → billing|tech|complaint|spam
-  ↓ Reward: 0.30 weight
-Step 2 (Prioritization): Set urgency → low|medium|high
-  ↓ Reward: 0.20 weight
-Step 3 (Strategy): Choose approach → auto_resolve|request_more_info|offer_refund|escalate_to_human
-  ↓ Reward: 0.20 weight (deterministic mapping)
-Step 4 (Response): Generate reply → text (min 10 chars)
-  ↓ Reward: 0.20 weight (quality scoring)
-Step 5 (Escalation): Optional final escalation → {reason, escalation_level}
-  ↓ Reward: 0.10 weight + bonus/penalty
-```
-
-### Deterministic Strategy Mapping
-- Strategy choice is deterministic based on:
-  - Email category (billing|tech|complaint|spam)
-  - Customer sentiment (positive|neutral|negative|angry)
-  - Priority level (low|medium|high)
-  - Customer status (VIP|enterprise vs. standard)
-
-**Example:**
-```
-(billing, angry, high, VIP) → escalate_to_human (score: 1.0)
-(billing, angry, high, standard) → offer_refund (score: 0.8-1.0)
-(billing, neutral, medium, standard) → auto_resolve (score: 1.0)
-```
-
-### Tool Integration
-```
-lookup_customer: Get customer account details
-  Params: {customer_id}
-  Returns: {account_type, total_value, join_date, satisfaction_score}
-
-search_history: Query customer interaction history
-  Params: {query, limit}
-  Returns: {history[], total_found}
-
-check_policy: Look up company policies
-  Params: {policy_type}
-  Returns: {policy_text, conditions[], exceptions[]}
-```

-
-## Overview
-This guide walks you through deploying the Customer Support Environment to Hugging Face Spaces for live evaluation by judges.
-
-**Time to complete:** ~15 minutes setup + 5-10 minutes build time
-
----
-
-## Step 1: Prepare Your Repository
-
-### Option A: Push to GitHub (Recommended)
-```bash
-# Initialize git (if not already done)
-git init
-git add .
-git commit -m "Customer Support Environment - Submission"
-git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/customer-support-env.git
-git push -u origin main
-```
-
-### Option B: Manual Upload
-You'll upload files directly in Hugging Face (Step 3)
-
----
-
-## Step 2: Create Hugging Face Space
-
-**Go to:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/create
-
-**Fill in form:**
-- **Space name:** `customer-support-env` (or `customer-support-evaluation`)
-- **License:** MIT
-- **Visibility:** PUBLIC (judges must access it)
-- **Space SDK:** Docker
-- **Dockerfile:** Custom
-
-**Click:** "Create Space"
-
----
-
-## Step 3: Upload Your Code
-
-### If you chose GitHub (Option A):
-```bash
-# In your repo root
-ls -la
-# Should show: models.py, inference.py, openenv.yaml, Dockerfile, requirements.txt, server/, etc.
-
-# Create .gitignore to exclude cache
-cat > .gitignore <<EOF
-__pycache__/
-*.pyc
-*.pyo
-.env
-.pytest_cache/
-*.egg-info/
-dist/
-build/
-EOF
-
-git add .gitignore
-git commit -m "Add .gitignore"
-git push
-```
-
-**In HF Space:**
-- Go to Files tab
-- Click "Clone from URL"
-- Paste: `https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/customer-support-env.git`
-- Wait for upload
-
-### If you chose Manual Upload (Option B):
-
-**Create this file structure in HF Space:**
-
-```
-customer-support-env/
-├── Dockerfile
-├── requirements.txt
-├── openenv.yaml
-├── models.py
-├── inference.py
-├── README.md
-└── server/
-    ├── __init__.py
-    ├── app.py
-    ├── environment.py
-    ├── grader.py
-    └── Dockerfile (you can delete this one, use root)
-```
-
-**Upload via Web Browser:**
-- Go to HF Space > Files
-- Upload each file
-- Create folders as needed (click "+ Add folder")
-
----
-
-## Step 4: Verify Dockerfile
-
-**The Space should auto-detect** `Dockerfile` in root.
-
-**Expected Dockerfile content:**
-```dockerfile
-FROM python:3.10-slim
-WORKDIR /app
-COPY requirements.txt .
-RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
-COPY . .
-EXPOSE 8000
-CMD ["uvicorn", "server.app:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000"]
-```
-
-**Status:** Check in Space > Settings > Docker tab
-
----
-
-## Step 5: Wait for Build
-
-**Estimated time:** 5-10 minutes
-
-**Monitor build:**
-- Go to Space > "Build logs"
-- Watch for:
-  - `✓ Successfully built image`
-  - `Container starting...`
-  - `Application startup complete`
-
-**Common issues:**
-- Missing `requirements.txt` → Upload it
-- Syntax error in Python → Fix and recommit
-- Timeout > 15min → File an issue with HF support
-
----
-
-## Step 6: Test Live Endpoint
-
-Once build completes, your Space URL will be:
-```
-https://YOUR_USERNAME-customer-support-env.hf.space
-```
-
-**Test the reset endpoint:**
-```bash
-curl -X POST https://YOUR_USERNAME-customer-support-env.hf.space/reset \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -v
-```
-
-**Expected response:**
-```
-HTTP/1.1 200 OK
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "observation": {
-    "email_id": "email_001",
-    "subject": "Refund request - duplicate charge",
-    "body": "...",
-    "customer_history": "...",
-    "step_count": 0,
-    "workflow_step": "classification",
-    "available_actions": ["classify", "use_tool"],
-    "available_tools": ["lookup_customer", "search_history", "check_policy"],
-    "previous_decisions": {...},
-    "customer_sentiment": "neutral",
-    "urgency_indicators": ["refund", "immediately"]
-  },
-  "info": {...}
-}
-```
-
-**If you get 502 Bad Gateway:**
-- Check build logs
-- Wait additional 2-3 minutes for container startup
-- Refresh the page
-
----
-
-## Step 7: Test Step Endpoint
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST https://YOUR_USERNAME-customer-support-env.hf.space/step \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "action_type": "classify",
-    "content": "billing"
-  }' \
-  -v
-```
-
-**Expected:** HTTP 200 with reward and observation
-
----
-
-## Step 8: Create README for Judges
-
-Create `README.md` in your Space:
-
-```markdown

-
----
-
-## Step 9: Verify Submission Requirements
-
-**Checklist before sending to judges:**
-
-- [ ] Space is PUBLIC (not private)
-- [ ] /reset endpoint returns 200
-- [ ] /reset returns valid observation JSON
-- [ ] /step endpoint returns 200
-- [ ] Determinism: same input → same output

-- [ ] README includes quick-start instructions
-- [ ] No API errors in build logs
-- [ ] Space URL is accessible from external network
-
----
-
-## Step 10: Submit
-
-**Send to evaluators:**
-```
-Environment: Customer Support Email Triage
-Live URL: https://YOUR_USERNAME-customer-support-env.hf.space
-GitHub (if public): https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/customer-support-env
-Status: Ready for evaluation
-```
-
----
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Build Fails
-**Error:** `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xyz'`
-**Fix:** Add to requirements.txt, push, rebuild
-
-**Error:** `Dockerfile not found`
-**Fix:** Ensure Dockerfile is in root of Space (not in subfolder)
-
-### Endpoint Returns 500
-**Error:** `Internal Server Error`
-**Fix:** Check build logs for Python syntax errors
-- May need to restart: Settings > Restart Space
-
-### Endpoint Timeout
-**Error:** `Connection timeout`
-**Fix:** Space container may still be starting
-- Wait 2-3 more minutes
-- Check Settings > Container > Status
-
-### Cannot View Logs
-**Fix:** Go to Space > Settings > Logs
-- Ensure you're the Space owner
-
----
-
-## After Deployment Success
-
-1. **Test inference script against live endpoint:**
-```python
-import os
-os.environ['ENV_URL'] = 'https://YOUR_USERNAME-customer-support-env.hf.space'
-import inference
-inference.run_inference()
-```
-
-2. **Screenshot successful output for records**
-
-3. **Note the Space URL for final submission**
-
----
-
-## Support
-If build/deployment issues persist:
-1. Check HF Spaces documentation: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces
-2. Review Docker best practices
-3. Test locally first: `docker build -t test . && docker run -p 8000:8000 test`
-
----
-
-**Estimated Timeline:**
-- GitHub push: 2 minutes
-- Space creation: 1 minute
-- File upload: 3-5 minutes
-- Build: 7-10 minutes
-- Testing: 3-5 minutes
-- **Total: ~20-25 minutes**
-
-**Good luck! 🚀**

-# Customer Support Environment - Judge-Level Fixes Applied
-
-## ✅ **CRITICAL ISSUES FIXED** (All Judge Concerns Addressed)
-
-### 1. **Reward Range Violation - FIXED** ✅
-**Problem**: Total score could exceed [0,1] range, breaking OpenEnv spec
-**Solution**: Added score normalization in inference.py
-```python
-MAX_POSSIBLE_REWARD = 2.5  # Maximum theoretical score
-normalized_score = total_score / MAX_POSSIBLE_REWARD
-normalized_score = min(max(normalized_score, 0.0), 1.0)
-```
-**Impact**: Prevents evaluation clamping, ensures baseline compatibility
-
-### 2. **Escalation Policy Loophole - FIXED** ✅
-**Problem**: Agents could skip escalation always, still getting high scores
-**Solution**: Added deterministic escalation requirements with penalties
-```python
-def check_escalation_requirement(email_task, state):
-    requires_escalation = (priority == "high" and
-                          (sentiment == "angry" or "enterprise" in history...))
-    if requires_escalation and not escalated:
-        penalty = 0.2  # Significant penalty
-```
-**Impact**: Forces strategic decision-making, eliminates easy exploitation
-
-### 3. **Strategy Space "Soft" Mapping - FIXED** ✅
-**Problem**: No hard mapping between category+sentiment → expected strategy
-**Solution**: Implemented deterministic strategy mapping table
-```python
-EXPECTED_STRATEGY_MAP = {
-    ("billing", "angry", "high", True): "escalate_to_human",  # VIP angry billing
-    ("tech", "neutral", "high", False): "request_more_info", # Standard tech issue
-    # ... 20+ deterministic mappings
-}
-```
-**Impact**: Eliminates subjective grading, ensures reproducible evaluation
-
-### 4. **Memory Bonus Too Easy - FIXED** ✅
-**Problem**: Generic phrases like "valued customer" got rewards
-**Solution**: Required specific, exact matches
-```python
-# OLD: Generic matching
-if "vip" in history and "valued" in response: bonus = 0.5
-
-# NEW: Exact matching required
-if "vip" in history and "vip" in response: bonus = 1.0
-elif "enterprise" in history and "enterprise" in response: bonus = 1.0
-```
-**Impact**: Prevents LLM gaming, requires true memory utilization
-
-### 5. **Inference Script Risk - FIXED** ✅
-**Problem**: Multi-step increases failure points, could break evaluation
-**Solution**: Added comprehensive error handling
-```python
-try:
-    step_response = requests.post(f"{env_url}/step", json=action, timeout=15)
-    step_response.raise_for_status()
-    step_data = step_response.json()
-    # ... process step
-except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
-    error_msg = f"Step {step_num} failed: {str(e)}"
-    log_step(step_num, action_str, 0.0, False, error_msg)
-    break  # Stop cascade failures
-```
-**Impact**: Ensures robust evaluation, prevents auto-failures
-
-## 🔥 **WINNING FEATURES ADDED** (Top 5% Level)
-
-### **Tool Usage Integration** 🛠️
-**Added**: Customer database tools for realistic agent behavior
-- `lookup_customer`: Access detailed customer profiles, account values, satisfaction scores
-- `search_history`: Query past interactions, complaint patterns, resolution history
-- `check_policy`: Verify company policies for refunds, escalations, data privacy
-
-**Impact**: Transforms environment from "email classifier" to "intelligent support agent"
-**Judge Appeal**: Demonstrates frontier LLM tool-using capabilities
-
-### **Enhanced Task Diversity** 📊
-**Expanded**: From 3 to 12+ scenarios
-- VIP enterprise customers with $15K contracts
-- Repeat complainers with escalation history
-- Mixed-intent emails (billing + feature requests)
-- Ambiguous cases requiring investigation
-- Emotional customers with complex needs
-
-**Impact**: Prevents overfitting, tests generalization across realistic scenarios
-

-## 🎯 KEY FEATURES
-
-### 1. Multi-Component Reward Function
-
-The reward combines three mathematically-defined components:
-
-```
-reward = 0.40 × category_score 
-       + 0.30 × priority_score 
-       + 0.30 × response_score
-
-Where:
-  category_score ∈ {0.0, 1.0}     (binary: correct or not)
-  priority_score ∈ {0.0, 1.0}     (binary: correct or not)
-  response_score ∈ [0.0, 1.0]     (continuous: quality judgment)
-```
-
-**Response Quality Decomposition:**
-```
-response_score = 0.50 × length_score 
-               + 0.30 × politeness_score 
-               + 0.20 × category_relevance
-```
-
-### 2. Deterministic Grading Guarantee
-
-- **No Random Elements:** All functions are pure
-- **No Floating Point Issues:** Rounded to 3 decimals
-- **Reproducibility:** Same input → Same output (always)
-- **Auditability:** Complete score breakdown provided
-
-### 3. Real-World Task Design
-
-Three tasks with increasing complexity:
-
-```
-EASY: Clear problem → Good for initial testing
-      • Unambiguous intent
-      • Expected success: 0.80+
-
-MEDIUM: Requires interpretation → Tests reasoning
-        • Mixed signals in email
-        • Expected success: 0.65-0.75
-
-HARD: Emotional + context-sensitive → Tests nuance
-      • Anger, prior history, business impact
-      • Expected success: 0.45-0.65
-```

-## 🔄 WORKFLOW VERIFICATION
-
-### Test Scenario: Easy Email
-
-```
-1. POST /reset
-   → Returns email_001 (billing complaint)
-   → Customer: "I was charged twice"
-
-2. Agent analyzes and creates action:
-   POST /step {
-     "category": "billing",
-     "priority": "high",
-     "response": "I sincerely apologize for the duplicate charge..."
-   }
-
-3. Grader computes:
-   - category_score = 1.0 (correct: billing)
-   - priority_score = 1.0 (correct: high)
-   - response_score = 0.7 (good: 45 words, polite)
-   - final = 0.40×1.0 + 0.30×1.0 + 0.30×0.7 = 0.82
-
-4. Environment returns:
-   {
-     "reward": 0.82,
-     "done": true,
-     "info": {
-       "category_score": 1.0,
-       "priority_score": 1.0,
-       "response_score": 0.7,
-       ...
-     }
-   }
-
-5. Success! score > 0.5 ✓

 - Priority miscalibration can result in SLA violations
 - Response quality directly impacts customer retention and satisfaction
 
-This environment models these pressures with realistic task distributions and a nuanced reward function that captures multiple success dimensions.
+This environment models these pressures with a **Multi-Step Reasoning** workflow, requiring agents to maintain consistency across several decision points. Agents must leverage their memory of previous steps to ensure that the final response and escalation decisions align with the initial classification and prioritization.
+
+### Key Features
+- **Realistic Support Workflow**: From initial triage to final response.
+- **Multi-Step Decision Making**: Decisions are interconnected and build upon each other.
+- **Tool Grounding**: Mandatory usage of knowledge base policies for complex cases.
+- **Consistent Reward Signal**: Immediate feedback at each step of the workflow.
 
 ## Environment Overview
 
-- **Type:** Single-step episodic environment
-- **Episodes:** 3 tasks of varying difficulty
-- **Episode Length:** 1 step per email
-- **Action Space:** Structured discrete (3 component action)
-- **Observation Space:** Structured continuous (natural language email)

-## Reward Design
+## Tools & Knowledge Base Integration
+
+This environment strongly penalizes pure parametric hallucination by mandating real-world tool usage:
+
+- **Knowledge Base Access**: Provides real-time support policies via `search_knowledge_base`.
+- **Enforced Usage Rules**: If an agent chooses complex strategies (like `offer_refund`), they **must** utilize the knowledge base and explicitly cite `POLICY_REFUND_001` in the response text. Failing to do so subtracts from the final score.
+- **Exploit Prevention**: Tools grant minor micro-rewards (+0.02) for successful usage. However, tool reward frequency is actively clamped and capped to prevent "reward farming" or spamming unneeded tools.
 
-**Philosophy:** Multi-component continuous reward enabling robust learning signal
+## Reward Design
 
-### Reward Composition
+### Reward Design Principles
+- **Step-Based Rewards**: Agents receive positive rewards for correct decisions at each stage (classification, prioritization, etc.).
+- **Strategic Penalties**: Severe negative rewards for inconsistent logic or failing to follow mandatory policies.
+- **Policy Usage (Tool Grounding)**: Bonuses for efficiently using tools to find correct information.
+- **Memory Consistency**: Graders check if the final response matches the previously selected strategy and classification.
 
 **Final Reward = 0.40 × category_score + 0.30 × priority_score + 0.30 × response_score**

 - Same action on same email always yields same score
 - No floating-point precision issues (rounded to 3 decimals)
 
+## Why It's Hard
+
+This environment is designed to challenge frontier models by requiring:
+
+- **Multi-Step Reasoning**: The agent cannot solve the task in a single "shot". It must maintain a logical thread across 5-6 interactions.
+- **Memory & Consistency**: A strategy chosen in Step 3 must be correctly implemented in Step 5.
+- **Tool Grounding**: Agents must move beyond parametric knowledge and ground their actions in specific provided policies (e.g., citing the correct policy code).
+- **Alignment Across Steps**: Initial classification errors propagate throughout the episode, requiring the agent to be precise from the start.

-## Comprehensive Validation (10 minutes)
-
-### Test 1: Model Validation
-
-**Verify Pydantic models enforce types correctly**
-
-```python
-from models import EmailObservation, EmailAction, EmailState
-
-# Valid observation
-obs = EmailObservation(
-    email_id="test",
-    subject="Test",
-    body="Test body",
-    customer_history="Test history",
-    step_count=0
-)
-print("✓ EmailObservation validation passed")
-
-# Valid action
-action = EmailAction(
-    category="billing",
-    priority="high",
-    response="Test response with sufficient length for validation to pass."
-)
-print("✓ EmailAction validation passed")
-
-# Valid state
-state = EmailState(
-    episode_id="ep1",
-    step_count=0,
-    done=False,
-    current_email="email_001"
-)
-print("✓ EmailState validation passed")
-
-# Test invalid action (should raise error)
-try:
-    invalid = EmailAction(
-        category="invalid",
-        priority="high",
-        response="Test"
-    )
-    print("✗ Should have rejected invalid category")
-except Exception as e:
-    print("✓ Correctly rejected invalid category")
-```
-
-### Test 2: Grader Determinism
-
-**Verify grading is deterministic**
-
-```python
-from server.grader import grade_action
-from models import EmailAction
-
-email_task = {
-    "label": {"category": "billing", "priority": "high"}
-}
-
-action = EmailAction(
-    category="billing",
-    priority="high",
-    response="Thank you for reporting. We apologize and will help immediately."
-)
-
-# Grade 5 times
-scores = []
-for i in range(5):
-    reward, breakdown = grade_action(email_task, action)
-    scores.append(reward)
-    print(f"Attempt {i+1}: {reward}")
-
-# All should be identical
-assert len(set(scores)) == 1, "Scores are not deterministic!"
-print(f"✓ Deterministic grading verified: {scores[0]}")
-```
-
-### Test 3: Environment API Compliance
-
-**Verify OpenEnv API correctness**
-
-```python
-from server.environment import CustomerSupportEnv
-
-env = CustomerSupportEnv()
-
-# Test reset
-reset_result = env.reset()
-assert "observation" in reset_result
-assert "info" in reset_result
-obs = reset_result["observation"]
-print(f"✓ Reset returned observation: {obs.email_id}")
-
-# Test step
-from models import EmailAction
-action = EmailAction(
-    category="billing",
-    priority="high",
-    response="Professional response to customer inquiry and concern."
-)
-
-step_result = env.step(action)
-assert "observation" in step_result
-assert "reward" in step_result
-assert "done" in step_result
-assert "info" in step_result
-assert step_result["done"] == True  # Single-step environment
-assert 0.0 <= step_result["reward"] <= 1.0
-print(f"✓ Step returned valid result with reward: {step_result['reward']:.3f}")
-
-# Test state
-state = env.get_state()
-assert state["done"] == True
-print(f"✓ State API working: episode_id={state['episode_id']}")
-```
-
-### Test 4: FastAPI Server
-
-**Verify all endpoints**
-
-```python
-import requests
-import json
-
-base_url = "http://localhost:8000"
-
-# Test 1: Health
-resp = requests.get(f"{base_url}/health")
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-print("✓ GET /health works")
-
-# Test 2: Info
-resp = requests.get(f"{base_url}/info")
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-info = resp.json()
-assert "name" in info
-assert info["name"] == "customer_support_env"
-print("✓ GET /info works")
-
-# Test 3: Reset
-resp = requests.post(f"{base_url}/reset")
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-data = resp.json()
-assert "observation" in data
-print("✓ POST /reset works")
-
-# Test 4: Step
-action_data = {
-    "category": "billing",
-    "priority": "high",
-    "response": "Thank you for your feedback. We will process your request."
-}
-resp = requests.post(f"{base_url}/step", json=action_data)
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-result = resp.json()
-assert "reward" in result
-assert "done" in result
-assert 0.0 <= result["reward"] <= 1.0
-print(f"✓ POST /step works (reward={result['reward']:.2f})")
-
-# Test 5: State
-resp = requests.get(f"{base_url}/state")
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-state = resp.json()
-assert "episode_id" in state
-print("✓ GET /state works")
-
-# Test 6: Stats
-resp = requests.get(f"{base_url}/stats")
-assert resp.status_code == 200
-stats = resp.json()
-assert "episode_count" in stats
-print("✓ GET /stats works")
-```
-
-### Test 5: Inference Script
-
-**Verify inference script formatting**
-
-```bash
-# Run inference
-python inference.py > /tmp/inference_output.txt
-
-# Check output format
-cat /tmp/inference_output.txt
-
-# Should contain:
-# [START] task=email_001 env=customer_support_env model=...
-# [STEP] step=1 action=... reward=0.XX done=true error=null
-# [END] success=... steps=1 score=0.XXX rewards=0.XX
-
-# Validate format with grep
-grep -E "^\[START\]" /tmp/inference_output.txt && echo "✓ START format correct"
-grep -E "^\[STEP\]" /tmp/inference_output.txt && echo "✓ STEP format correct"
-grep -E "^\[END\]" /tmp/inference_output.txt && echo "✓ END format correct"
-```
-
-### Test 6: Multiple Episodes
-
-**Verify task progression**
-
-```python
-from server.environment import CustomerSupportEnv
-
-env = CustomerSupportEnv()
-
-task_ids = []
-for episode in range(3):
-    result = env.reset()
-    obs = result["observation"]
-    task_id = obs.email_id
-    task_ids.append(task_id)
-    print(f"Episode {episode+1}: {task_id}")
-
-# Verify all different
-assert len(set(task_ids)) == 3, "Not all tasks were different!"
-assert task_ids == ["email_001", "email_002", "email_003"], "Task order incorrect!"
-print("✓ All 3 tasks loaded in correct order")
-```
-
-### Test 7: Reward Bounds
-
-**Verify rewards always in [0.0, 1.0]**
-
-```python
-from server.environment import CustomerSupportEnv
-from models import EmailAction
-
-env = CustomerSupportEnv()
-
-rewards = []
-for _ in range(3):
-    env.reset()
-    
-    for category in ["billing", "tech", "complaint", "spam"]:
-        for priority in ["low", "medium", "high"]:
-            action = EmailAction(
-                category=category,
-                priority=priority,
-                response="Professional message acknowledging the concern and offering assistance."
-            )
-            
-            result = env.step(action)
-            reward = result["reward"]
-            rewards.append(reward)
-            
-            assert 0.0 <= reward <= 1.0, f"Reward out of bounds: {reward}"
-            
-            env.reset()
-
-print(f"✓ All {len(rewards)} rewards in valid range [0.0, 1.0]")
-print(f"  Min reward: {min(rewards):.3f}")
-print(f"  Max reward: {max(rewards):.3f}")
-print(f"  Avg reward: {sum(rewards)/len(rewards):.3f}")
-```
-
-### Test 8: Response Quality Grading
-
-**Verify response quality component**
-
-```python
-from server.grader import grade_response_quality
-
-# Test different response qualities
-test_cases = [
-    ("", 0.0),  # Empty should score 0
-    ("Hi", 0.0),  # Too short
-    ("This is a good length response that includes an apology.", 0.5),  # Short but polite
-    ("I sincerely apologize for the billing error. We value your business and will resolve this immediately. Thank you for your patience.", 0.8),  # Good
-]
-
-for response, expected_min in test_cases:
-    score = grade_response_quality(response, "billing", "history")
-    print(f"Response: '{response[:40]}...' → Score: {score:.2f} (≥{expected_min})")
-    assert score >= expected_min, f"Score too low: {score} < {expected_min}"
-
-print("✓ Response quality grading working correctly")
-```
