Two stages:
1. **Per-step reward** ``compute_step_reward``: shapes behaviour with small
incentives (progress, evidence quality, valid prerequisites) and
penalties (rule violations, repeated work, wasted resources).
2. **Terminal reward** ``compute_terminal_reward``: graded only when the
agent submits a discovery claim or runs out of resources. Compares the
submitted claim against the hidden ``LatentParticle`` truth.
The terminal reward is intentionally dominant so the policy must care about
the *correct* discovery, not just looking busy.
Anti-reward-hacking design notes
--------------------------------
The shaping reward is layered with several independent checks so that
exploiting any single one alone cannot dominate the terminal grade
(see hackathon guidance: *"use multiple independent reward functions"*):
* ``tool_fit`` is **gated**: the agent only earns it when ``method`` is
in ``TOOL_REGISTRY`` *and* the tool's category matches the action's
expected category. Bogus method strings get **penalized**, not rewarded.
* ``valid_action`` is gated on a parsed structured action that the rules
engine accepts — pure JSON-shaped junk does not earn it.
* ``progress_milestone`` only fires on the *first* time a milestone is
unlocked, so re-doing already-completed steps cannot farm it.
* ``redundancy`` and the new ``repeat_action_penalty`` punish loops that
re-emit the same action type many times in a row.
* The terminal grade dominates total reward via ``terminal_scale``, and
the overconfident-wrong penalty also fires when the claim *significance*
exceeds what was actually measured.
