"""Emergent-garble GRPO trainer (base model, length-penalty, no legibility constraint).
Goal: reproduce the Claude Fable 5 / Mythos 5 "illegible reasoning" phenomenon (system card
transcript 6.2.2.A, third_party/ant_fable.pdf p.107) on Qwen3-8B-Base -- a load-bearing CoT
that, under accuracy + length pressure with NO legibility term and NO character constraints,
compresses into a dense, telegraphic, symbol-heavy private notation. Pure RL on a *base* model
(R1-Zero recipe): the instruct model's legibility prior would fight this, so we start from base.
Reward (always on -- this IS the experiment):
R = task_reward - lambda * (gen_tokens / max_think)
where task_reward in {0,1} is the arith-reach verifier and gen_tokens is the policy's own
generated length (think dominates; the boxed answer is a handful of tokens). lambda is either
fixed or adapted by a Lagrangian dual that holds accuracy at a floor (``lambda_target``): while
accuracy < floor lambda stays ~0 (Phase 1: learn to solve); once accuracy clears the floor
lambda rises (Phase 2: compress the irreducible search -> notation emerges). Advantage is
group-relative over the G samples of each problem (REINFORCE-with-baseline == GRPO@1-update).
Everything is logged to wandb: per-step metrics, cheap live garble proxies (symbol/non-ascii
density), FULL untruncated rollout traces (wandb.Table), and the complete cots.jsonl uploaded as
a versioned artifact at every checkpoint. Temperature + lambda are live-steerable mid-run via
``<save_root>/temp.ctl``. Resumable from any checkpoint.
No SFT anywhere. The task is switchable (see ENVS) if arith-reach won't garble.
