feat: all-12-tool UI, auto-play, timestamped run folders, model fix

- server/ui.py: full rewrite — all 12 tools exposed, auto-play (1 or 6 balls),
live coherence/adaptation/plan-commitment metrics, raw JSON panel, HF Space ready
- inference.py: auto-creates timestamped illustrations/ folder per run with
run_output.txt + README.md; added _make_inference_run_folder()
- train.py: same auto-folder for train-smoke (_make_run_folder); always writes log
- configs/default.yaml + cached_eval.yaml: fix model to google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it
(was google/gemma-4-e4b-it which doesn't exist on HF Router)
- docs/slides.html: full rewrite — judging criteria mapping, observation space
technical details, signal grid, stateless GRPO details, 2026-04-25 run numbers
- illustrations/: new 3-over train-smoke run folder (gemma-4-26B-A4B-it live opponent)
- illustrations/README.md: updated index, reproduce commands
- README.md: updated smoke-check results with 2026-04-25 3-over run numbers

+      <ul>
+        <li>Planning agents that can't commit to strategy fail silently</li>
+        <li>Reasoning traces are only useful if they predict the next action</li>
+        <li>Chain-of-thought gains are undermined by declaration-execution drift</li>

+      <div class="wn" style="margin-top:14px;">
+        A model that <em>says</em> "preserve wickets" but <em>plays</em> aggressive shots hasn't learned strategy — it's learned to <em>sound</em> strategic.

+## Illustrations — Reproducible Experiment Runs
 
-Each subfolder here is a self-contained experiment snapshot:
-- **how to run** (exact command)
-- **what changed** (config/opponent/eval pack)
-- **results** (captured stdout + notes)
+Each subfolder is a self-contained experiment snapshot with:
+- `README.md` — model, config, opponent mode, and result summary
+- `run_output.txt` — full step-by-step log (OpenEnv turns, rewards, tool calls)
 
-### Index
+Folders are auto-created by `inference.py` and `train.py train-smoke` using a timestamp + config slug.
 
-- `exp_2026-04-25_5over_random_llm_cached/`: sanity check run (5-over), random captain, cached LLM opponent.
-- `exp_2026-04-25_5over_gemma4_hf/`: successful HF router run with Gemma 4 captain, cached LLM opponent, including a verbose OpenEnv reset/step trace.
-- `exp_2026-04-25_train_smoke_5over/`: one 5-over training-side rollout smoke test with prompt collection and terminal reward.
+### Index (2026-04-25)
 
+| Folder | Type | Model | Overs | Opponent | Key Results |
+|--------|------|-------|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `exp_2026-04-25_11-21_inference_3ov_llm_live_gemma-4-26B-A4B-it` | Inference | gemma-4-26B-A4B-it | 3 | llm_live | coherence=0.657, adapt=0.502, opp_aware=0.750, 0% parse errors |
+| `exp_2026-04-25_11-17_train_smoke_3ov_llm_live_gemma-4-26B-A4B-it` | Train-smoke | random actions / gemma-4 opponent | 3 | llm_live | r_behavior=0.548, r_validity=1.0, all reward signals active |
+
+### What These Runs Verify
+
+- **OpenEnv WebSocket loop** — reset → step → state, full bidirectional JSON protocol
+- **HF Router model inference** — `google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it` via `https://router.huggingface.co/v1`
+- **Live LLM opponent** — opponent also calls the same HF Router model in `llm_live` mode
+- **12-tool parser** — all tool names accepted, 0% parse error rate across both runs
+- **Reward signal stack** — coherence, adaptation, opponent_awareness, plan_commitment, staleness all populated
+- **Phase-gated tools** — batting tools only during batting, bowling tools only during bowling
+- **Stateless GRPO reward** — strategy extracted from rendered prompt text, no env.step() needed
+
+### Reproducing
+
+```bash
+# From cricket_captain/
+export HF_TOKEN="hf_..."
+
+# Inference run (3-over match, LLM captain + LLM opponent)
+python inference.py --config configs/default.yaml --episodes 1 --max-overs 3 --opponent-mode llm_live --verbose
+
+# Train-smoke (3-over rollout, random captain + LLM opponent, reward verification)
+python train.py train-smoke --config configs/default.yaml --matches 1 --max-overs 3 --opponent-mode llm_live
+```
+
+Each run creates a new timestamped folder automatically.

-## Experiment: 5-over HF Gemma 4 captain, cached opponent
-
-### Goal
-
-Run a real Hugging Face-hosted Gemma captain model through the OpenAI-compatible HF router, instead of the random baseline.
-
-### Model
-
-- **Captain model**: `google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it`
-- **API base**: `https://router.huggingface.co/v1`
-- **Opponent mode**: `llm_cached`
-- **Eval pack**: `adaptive_t20_v1`
-- **Max overs**: `5`
-
-Note: HF router listed this Gemma 4 model as available. The earlier `google/gemma-2-2b-it` id was rejected by the router/provider configuration.
-
-### Required token
-
-HF router inference requires a token:
-
-```bash
-export HF_TOKEN="hf_..."
-```
-
-### Run
-
-From `cricket_captain/`:
-
-```bash
-export CRICKET_CAPTAIN_ENV_URL="ws://localhost:8001"
-export HF_TOKEN="hf_..."
-
-python inference.py \
-  --model google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it \
-  --api-base https://router.huggingface.co/v1 \
-  --api-key "$HF_TOKEN" \
-  --episodes 1 \
-  --task stage2_full \
-  --max-overs 5 \
-  --env-url "$CRICKET_CAPTAIN_ENV_URL" \
-  --eval-pack-id adaptive_t20_v1 \
-  --opponent-mode llm_cached
-```
-
-### Results
-
-See `run_output.txt`.
-
-The file is intentionally verbose. It logs:
-
-- OpenEnv websocket connection and `reset(options=...)`
-- observation fields returned by the server
-- raw HF Gemma model responses
-- parsed `CricketAction` objects
-- every OpenEnv `step(action)` call
-- reward after each step
-- updated match context, opponent plan, and last-ball result
-- final state metrics

-## Experiment: 5-over sanity check (random captain, cached opponent)
-
-### Goal
-
-Verify end-to-end wiring works (server ↔ runner ↔ tools/metrics) for a short innings.
-
-### Setup
-
-- **Server**: must be reachable at `ws://localhost:8001/ws` (or set `CRICKET_CAPTAIN_ENV_URL`)
-- **Eval pack**: `adaptive_t20_v1`
-- **Opponent mode**: `llm_cached`
-
-### Run
-
-From `cricket_captain/`:
-
-```bash
-export CRICKET_CAPTAIN_ENV_URL="ws://localhost:8001"
-python inference.py \
-  --model random \
-  --episodes 2 \
-  --task stage2_full \

-## Experiment: training smoke rollout
-
-### Goal
-
-Verify the training-side environment path can run one short match, collect prompts, step tools, and produce terminal reward metrics.
-
-This is not a full GRPO finetune. The current runtime is missing optional training dependencies (`trl`, `datasets`, `transformers`, etc.), so this smoke test uses direct `CricketEnvironment` rollouts with random training actions.
-
-### Run
-
-From `cricket_captain/`:
-
-```bash
-python train.py train-smoke \
-  --matches 1 \
-  --max-overs 2 \
-  --max-steps 240 \
-  --log-steps 90 \
-  --eval-pack-id adaptive_t20_v1 \
-  --opponent-mode heuristic \
-  --output illustrations/exp_2026-04-25_train_smoke_5over/run_output.txt
-```
-
-### Results
-
-See `run_output.txt`.
-
-Note: the checked-in artifact currently records the last 5-over smoke run. New smoke captures should use the 2-over command above and will include timing fields (`t_elapsed`, `step_dt`, `since_prev`, `match_elapsed`, `avg_step_dt`).
-
-Key result:
-
-```text
-done=True
-steps=115
-prompts_collected=115
-rollout_reward_sum=2.067
-terminal_reward=0.634

-mean_opponent_awareness=0.278
-```
-
-Rule checks:
-
-- `choose_bowler` is only available at over boundaries (`ball == 0`) and no mid-over bowler changes appear in this log.
-- `select_batter` is only available at innings start or after a wicket.
-- The log includes current run rate (`rr`), chase target, runs needed, balls left, and required run rate (`rrr`).
-- Future smoke logs include timing fields: `t_elapsed`, `step_dt`, `since_prev`, `match_elapsed`, and `avg_step_dt`.
-- Hybrid realism metadata appears on delivery rows: `event`, `zone`, `traj`, `field_effect`, `fit`, `field_pressure`, `line`, `length`, and `variation`.
-- Example events in this run include a deep-cover boundary save, edge through gap, caught-in-zone, no-ball, and misfield.
