+- `GET  /` — status + run info + **live training-progress evidence** (curves, before/after metrics, plots)
 - `POST /train` — start / restart a training run
-- `GET  /logs` — live tail of `training.log`

+- `GET  /metrics` — pre / post / Δ metrics JSON
+- `GET  /evidence` — list of evidence artifacts on disk
+- `GET  /evidence/{name}` — download an artifact (`training_curve.png`, `training_log.csv`, etc.)
+
+### Training-progress evidence saved (and pushed to Hub)
+- `training_log.csv` — per-step reward, loss, KL, lr, grad-norm
+- `training_curve.png` — reward + loss vs step
+- `checkpoint_evals.csv` — held-out eval every `CHECKPOINT_EVAL_STEPS` updates
+- `checkpoint_progression.png` — mean reward + success/mass/channel accuracy vs step

+- `reward_distribution.png` — pre vs post reward histogram
+- `before_after_metrics.json` — machine-readable metrics + deltas
+- `sample_trajectories.md` — cherry-picked pre vs post agent traces

+"""Training-progress evidence logging for CERNenv.

+Captures three classes of evidence required by the OpenEnv hackathon's
+"Showing Improvement in Rewards" judging criterion:
+
+1. **Per-step training log** — every GRPO logging step records reward,
+   loss, KL (Kullback-Leibler divergence), gradient norm and learning rate
+   into ``evidence/training_log.csv``. A live-updating PNG curve is
+   regenerated each time the log is appended.
+
+2. **Mid-training checkpoint evaluations** — every ``eval_every_steps``
+   GRPO updates we re-evaluate the agent on a held-out task suite and
+   append a row to ``evidence/checkpoint_evals.csv`` (training_step,
+   mean_reward, success_rate, mass_acc, channel_acc). This produces the
+   "progression" plot showing rewards rising over training.
+
+3. **Before/after summary** — pre- and post-training evaluation JSONLs
+   are turned into bar charts and reward distributions, plus a
+   machine-readable ``evidence/before_after_metrics.json``.
+
+Everything ends up under ``evidence/`` so the trainer Space can serve
+the artifacts directly and ``scripts.push_to_hub`` can upload them
+with the model.
