WHAT THIS PROJECT MEASURES

README

NLE exposes NetHack tasks and observations for agents. Useful evaluation should report progression and task-level rewards rather than treating full ascension as the only success signal.

The environment is a poor first integration: episodes are long, failures are difficult to explain, and reproducible replay requires careful seed, action, and state capture.

EXECUTION CONTRACT

Requires long-lived seeded sandboxes, NLE observations and actions, progression metrics, and replayable episodes.
