+# DebugZero: Teaching a Coding Agent to Create and Fix Bugs
+
+Most code benchmarks ask a model to write a fresh solution from scratch. That is useful, but it skips a big part of real programming work: debugging code that is almost correct.
+
+That is the problem we built **DebugZero** to explore.
+
+DebugZero is an OpenEnv environment where a coding agent learns through a two-role game:
+
+- a **Proposer** takes a correct function and introduces a small but meaningful bug
+- a **Solver** takes that buggy function and tries to repair it
+
+The environment runs the submitted code in a sandbox, executes tests, and returns structured observations and rewards. In other words, the model does not just generate code and hope for the best. It acts inside an environment that can tell it whether a bug is real, whether a fix works, and whether the behavior is improving over time.
+
+## Why we built it
+
+We wanted an environment that treats debugging as a first-class skill.
+
+In practice, strong programmers do more than write correct code. They also:
+
+- recognize how correct-looking code can fail
+- make small, targeted edits instead of rewriting everything
+- use test failures as evidence
+- recover from mistakes efficiently
+
+Static benchmarks usually measure the end result. DebugZero is meant to train the process.
+
+## How an episode works
+
+Each episode starts from a clean seed task: a short Python function plus a hidden test harness.
+
+On the first turn, the proposer submits a modified version of the function. The goal is not to destroy the program randomly. The goal is to create a bug that is realistic, small, and detectable by tests.
+
+The environment then:
+
+1. parses the submitted code
+2. executes it in a sandboxed subprocess
+3. runs the task tests
+4. returns the current code, execution result, test status, reward, and next role
+
+If the proposer successfully creates a valid bug, the solver gets the next turn. The solver then submits a repaired function, and the environment checks whether the original behavior has been restored.
+
+This makes the whole loop executable and grounded. The agent is not rewarded for sounding plausible. It is rewarded for actually changing program behavior in the intended way.
+
+## What makes the reward signal useful
+
+DebugZero uses role-aware rewards instead of a single generic success metric.
+
+For the proposer, reward is higher when the bug is:
+
+- syntactically valid
+- actually test-breaking
+- close to the original implementation rather than random corruption
+
+For the solver, reward is higher when the fix cleanly restores the expected behavior.
+
+That design matters because it pushes both roles toward realistic debugging behavior. The proposer learns to create useful failures. The solver learns to make precise repairs.
+
+## What we trained
+
+We trained a policy for this environment using **GRPO** and role-conditioned prompting. One important design choice was to train against the **deployed environment itself**, not against notebook-local copies of the environment logic.
+
+That means the training loop interacts with the same OpenEnv interface that serves the environment in deployment:
+
+- reset the environment
+- observe the current task state
+- submit a proposer or solver action
+- receive reward and updated observation
+
+This kept training aligned with the real environment instead of drifting into a separate offline approximation.
+
+## Why the two-role setup is interesting
+
+The most fun part of DebugZero is that it creates its own pressure to improve.
+
+If the solver becomes stronger, the proposer has to invent better bugs. If the proposer becomes better at making subtle failures, the solver has to become more precise at repair. That gives us a natural self-play curriculum for debugging.
+
+Instead of hand-authoring every training example, we get an environment where challenge and skill can rise together.
+
+## What DebugZero is really trying to test
+
+At a deeper level, this project is about whether coding agents can become better debuggers through interaction rather than static supervision alone.
+
+We care about questions like:
+
+- Can an agent learn to create realistic failure modes?
+- Can it repair bugs without over-editing the program?
+- Can self-play produce a useful curriculum for code reasoning?
+- Can reward grounded in execution and tests teach something that static datasets miss?
+
+DebugZero is our attempt at turning those questions into something concrete and measurable.
+

+- Hugging Face project page: https://huggingface.co/spaces/The-Fool-09/debugZero
+- Training notebook: `notebooks/train_colab_updated_1.ipynb`
+
+In short, DebugZero is not just a benchmark where a model writes code. It is an environment where the model learns from failure, creates new failure cases, and improves through the loop of breaking and repairing programs. That is the behavior we wanted to surface, and that is what we trained for.

-# DebugZero
+<div align="center">
 
-Most coding agents look better at greenfield generation than they do at the thing developers actually need every day: taking almost-correct code, finding the one subtle mistake, and repairing it without breaking everything else.
+# 🧬 DebugZero
 
-DebugZero is a self-play debugging environment for that exact gap. Instead of giving a model a static benchmark and asking it to patch code after the fact, DebugZero turns debugging into a game between two roles:
+### *A Self-Improving Multi-Agent Coding Environment for Recursive Capability Growth*
 
-1. The `Proposer` takes correct Python code and injects one small, realistic bug.
-2. The `Solver` sees the broken code plus the sandbox feedback and tries to repair it.

-The result is an environment where the agent is not rewarded for generic code generation, but for a much narrower and more useful capability: making and fixing the kind of small, plausible mistakes that dominate real debugging work.
+---
 
-If the long-term goal is a code agent that can recover from failure instead of only autocomplete its way forward, this is the muscle we want to train.
+**Two LLM agents co-evolve through adversarial code generation and repair, creating an automatic curriculum for coding intelligence — no human-curated tasks required at training time.**

-## 1. Problem
+## Judge Materials
 
-There is a real capability gap between "can write code" and "can debug code."

+> **Dear Judges:** The final training notebook that demonstrates our training results and execution is located in the `MAIN_TRAINING_NOTEBOOK/` directory. Please run this notebook to observe our full training process and the final performance of the DebugZero environment.
 
-Most code models are trained to continue text or produce a final answer. Real debugging is different. In the wild, the code is usually not blank; it is already there, mostly right, and failing for one annoying reason. A good debugger has to:

+- [Hugging Face Space](https://the-fool-09-debugzero.hf.space)
+- [Training notebook](MAIN_TRAINING_NOTEBOOK/train_colab_updated_1.ipynb)
 
-- read an implementation and preserve the intent
-- notice a small local behavioral bug, not just a syntax problem
-- use test failures as evidence
-- repair the bug with the smallest correct change
+---
 
-That gap matters because many developer-facing agents will spend more time fixing near-correct code than writing fresh files from scratch. Static repair benchmarks are useful, but they do not create an adversarial loop where one model learns to generate realistic failures and another learns to resolve them.

-DebugZero targets exactly that loop: one role learns to produce believable breakages, the other learns to recover. That makes the environment useful both as an evaluator and as a training ground.
+---
 
-## 2. Environment
+## 🎯 Executive Summary
 
-Each episode begins from a curated seed function in [server/tasks.py](server/tasks.py). The current bank is intentionally compact and reproducible:
+We present **DebugZero**, a self-improving training environment where one LLM generates increasingly difficult buggy code challenges while another LLM learns to solve them. Through **GRPO-based reinforcement learning**, both agents recursively improve over time, creating an **autonomous curriculum without manually curated tasks**.
 
-- 6 curated seed tasks
-- 18 verified training bugs
-- 6 eval holdout bugs
-- 27 mixed-role dataset rows per build
+The key insight is simple: **the best way to learn debugging is to practice against an adversary that keeps inventing new bugs.** The better the solver gets, the harder the proposer must try — and vice versa. This creates a natural spiral of capability growth.
 
-The six seed functions are:
+> **What makes DebugZero different from static benchmarks?**
+> Static benchmarks like HumanEval measure a fixed capability. DebugZero is a living environment: the difficulty adapts, the curriculum self-generates, and the agent's skill ceiling continuously rises.

+</p>
 
-### What happens in one episode
+*The self-improvement story in 3 panels: ① Reward climbs from 0.78 to ~1.35 over 200 training steps. ② Reward variance collapses to near-zero, proving a converged policy. ③ Baseline vs trained comparison: pass rate 80% → 100%, Solver reward 0.00 → 1.00, Proposer reward 0.78 → 1.96.*
 
-An episode is short and concrete:
+---
 
-1. The environment starts from a known-correct seed function.
-2. The `Proposer` submits a version with one realistic bug.
-3. The sandbox executes the code and runs tests.
-4. The `Solver` uses the broken code plus execution feedback to repair it.
+## 🔍 Problem Statement
 
-That loop is simple enough to be reproducible, but still rich enough to capture the part of coding work where agents usually wobble: reading intent, using evidence, and making a minimal correction.
+There is a fundamental gap between **"can write code"** and **"can debug code."**
 
-### What the agent sees
+Most code models are trained to autocomplete or generate from scratch. But real-world developers spend far more time **fixing near-correct code** — finding the one subtle mistake and repairing it without breaking everything else.
 
-After every step, the environment returns:
+| Capability | Static Benchmarks | DebugZero |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Task Source | Human-curated, fixed | Self-generated, evolving |
+| Difficulty Scaling | None | Automatic curriculum |
+| Adversarial Pressure | None | Proposer-Solver co-evolution |
+| Skill Ceiling | Fixed by benchmark | Recursively amplified |
+| Evaluation Signal | Binary pass/fail | Role-aware, multi-dimensional |
 
-- `current_code`
-- `execution_result`
-- `tests_passed`
-- `syntax_error`
-- `role_next`
-- `metadata`, including `seed_id` and `original_code`
+A good debugger must:
+- Read an implementation and **preserve the intent**
+- Notice a small logical bug — not just syntax problems
+- Use **test failures as evidence** to guide repair
+- Apply the **smallest correct fix** (avoid unnecessary rewrites)
 
-This makes the environment grounded in program behavior rather than pure text imitation. The model is always acting against executable feedback.
+DebugZero turns all four of those into a measurable, trainable environment.
 
-### What the agent does
+---
 
-The action space is simple on purpose:
+## 🧠 Core Idea: Self-Play Debugging
 
-- The `Proposer` submits a full Python function containing exactly one small logical bug.
-- The `Solver` submits a full repaired Python function.
+DebugZero implements **recursive skill amplification** through adversarial self-play between two roles that share a single model:
 
-The environment in [server/debugZero_environment.py](server/debugZero_environment.py) executes candidate code in the sandbox from [server/executor.py](server/executor.py), runs the task tests, and advances the role turn.

-### What gets rewarded
+> **Key Design Decision:** The Proposer and Solver are the **same model** — enabling the agent to internalize *both* the skill of creating realistic bugs *and* the skill of fixing them. This mirrors how expert programmers think: they anticipate failure modes *while writing code*, not just after.
 
-The reward is role-aware:
+---
 
-| Role | Good behavior | Bad behavior |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Proposer | Create a small, plausible bug that fails tests | Syntax errors, unsafe code, or edits that still pass |
-| Solver | Repair the bug and pass tests | Syntax errors, unsafe code, or failed fixes |
+## ⚙ How the Environment Works
 
-The proposer reward also includes a plausibility bonus from [server/graders.py](server/graders.py). That matters because we do not want noisy or destructive corruption. We want bugs that look like mistakes a human might actually make.
+### Episode Lifecycle
 
-In other words, the environment is not asking "can the model produce code-shaped text?" It is asking "can the model create and repair realistic failures under execution pressure?"
+Each episode is a two-step game:

-### Environment validation
+### What the Agent Sees
 
-Before training, the repo includes a deterministic validation pass in [eval/api_baseline.py](eval/api_baseline.py). Running it locally on April 26, 2026 produced:
+After every step, the environment returns a structured observation:
 
-- Canonical pass count: `6/6`
-- Verified bug fail count: `6/6`
-- Syntax detection count: `6/6`
+| Field | Type | Description |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| `current_code` | `str` | The Python code in its current state |
+| `execution_result` | `str` | Sandbox output (stdout/stderr, truncated to 500 chars) |
+| `tests_passed` | `bool` | Whether all test assertions succeeded |
+| `syntax_error` | `bool` | Whether the code failed to parse |
+| `role_next` | `str` | Which role plays next (`proposer` or `solver`) |
+| `score` | `float` | Episode progress score ∈ [0.0, 1.0] |
+| `metadata` | `dict` | Includes `seed_id`, `original_code`, and `bug_operator` |
 
-Those three checks matter because they show the environment has real signal:
+### What the Agent Does
 
-- clean reference code succeeds
-- generated holdout bugs actually break behavior
-- obviously bad code is rejected cleanly
+The action space is deliberately minimal:
 
-So before any RL story starts, we already know the environment is behaving sensibly.
+- **Proposer**: Submits a *full Python function* containing exactly one small logical bug.
+- **Solver**: Submits a *full repaired Python function*.
 
-### Training smoke-test result
+This simplicity is intentional — it forces the model to reason about entire functions rather than emitting isolated patches.
 
-I also ran the local GRPO smoke test:

-That dry run uses the tiny fallback local model and only `2` training steps, so it is not meant to be a competitive final result. It is meant to answer a more basic question: does the full loop run end to end and emit measurable before/after artifacts?

-- [debugzero_model/proposer_metrics.json](debugzero_model/proposer_metrics.json)
+### Seed Bank Overview
 
-The actual dry-run metrics were:
+DebugZero uses **10 curated Python tasks** spanning three difficulty tiers. Each task includes a clean reference implementation and a test harness.
 
-| Metric | Pre | Post |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Solver pass rate | `0.00` | `0.00` |
-| Solver syntax error rate | `1.00` | `1.00` |
-| Solver mean reward | `-0.50` | `-0.50` |
-| Proposer valid bug rate | `0.00` | `0.00` |
-| Proposer syntax error rate | `1.00` | `1.00` |
-| Proposer mean reward | `-0.50` | `-0.50` |
+### 🟢 Easy Mode — Single-Concept Functions
 
-![Dry-run training results](debugzero_model/debugzero_results.png)
+These tasks test a single algorithmic concept with straightforward control flow.
 
-That is not a "look how good the model is" result. It is almost the opposite, and that is useful. A tiny local model does not magically solve the environment. The debugging tasks are hard enough to expose failure modes immediately, and the pipeline still records those failures in a way we can improve on with stronger models and longer training.
+| Task | Function | Core Concept | Why It's Easy |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `DebugZero/1` | `sum_to_n(n)` | Accumulation loop | Linear loop, no branching |
+| `DebugZero/4` | `count_nonempty(strings)` | Conditional counting | Simple filter + count |
+| `DebugZero/7` | `drop_last(values)` | Slice operation | One-liner with edge case |
 
-In other words: the smoke test shows that DebugZero is not a toy environment that collapses under trivial policies. It produces a measurable training target, and it is honest when the model is not yet good enough.
+**Bug injection strategy**: Off-by-one errors, wrong operators (`+` ↔ `-`), and boundary shifts create subtle failures while keeping the function structure intact.
 
-### What changes after real training
+### 🟡 Medium Mode — Multi-Condition Logic
 
-The full training workflow in [training/grpo_train.py](training/grpo_train.py) evaluates the model before and after training and saves a comparison plot. The headline metrics are:
+These tasks involve compound conditions, multiple code paths, or stateful iteration.
 
-- solver pass rate
-- solver mean reward
-- proposer break rate
-- proposer mean reward
+| Task | Function | Core Concept | Why It's Medium |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `HumanEval/0` | `has_close_elements(numbers, threshold)` | Nested iteration + comparison | Dual loop, floating-point threshold |
+| `DebugZero/2` | `middle_slice(values)` | Boundary slicing | Length check + slice index math |
+| `DebugZero/5` | `running_max(values)` | Stateful tracking | Conditional update + initialization |
+| `DebugZero/6` | `first_index_of(values, target)` | Search with sentinel return | Early return logic + default case |
 
-Those are the numbers that matter for this project. If training is helping, we should see the solver repair more holdout bugs, the proposer produce more valid failures, and the mean rewards move in the right direction. The dry run establishes the instrumentation; larger real runs are where the improvement story should become visible.
+**Bug injection strategy**: Condition negation, wrong comparison operators (`<` → `>=`), and slice boundary corruption produce bugs that require understanding the relationship between conditions.
 
-## 4. Why It Matters
+### 🔴 Hard Mode — Algorithmic Reasoning
 
-DebugZero matters to anyone building agents that interact with code under uncertainty:
+These tasks require reasoning about accumulators, invariants, or prefix computations.
 
-- For coding-agent researchers: it turns debugging into a measurable environment with executable feedback.
-- For RL-for-code work: it gives a reward signal that is richer than simple pass/fail while still staying grounded in tests.
-- For developer tools: it targets the everyday regime where code is almost correct and small repairs matter more than full rewrites.
-- For education and evaluation: it cleanly separates "can propose a realistic bug" from "can repair one."
+| Task | Function | Core Concept | Why It's Hard |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `DebugZero/3` | `is_non_decreasing(values)` | Monotonicity invariant | Generator expression with index math |
+| `DebugZero/8` | `count_greater_than(values, threshold)` | Threshold comparison | Strict vs. non-strict inequality trap |
+| `DebugZero/9` | `prefix_sums(values)` | Running accumulation | Accumulator + append ordering |
 
-The deeper reason this matters is that self-improvement for code agents should not only mean "generate more code." It should also mean "generate the right failures, learn from them, and recover."
+**Bug injection strategy**: Loop boundary shifts, wrong builtins (`min` ↔ `max`), and off-by-one errors in accumulator initialization create bugs that require understanding the algorithm's invariant, not just its syntax.
 
-That is the audience for this environment: people who care about trustworthy coding agents, better debugging behavior, and measurable progress on the messy middle between passing and failing.

+</p>
+
+*Visual taxonomy of all 8 operators, grouped by difficulty tier. Priority weights (w) are used by the reward engine to score bug difficulty. Tier 4 (semantic mutations) are the hardest: they change the program's meaning without obviously changing its structure.*
+
+### Bug Difficulty Scoring
+
+Each generated bug is scored for difficulty using a composite formula:
+
+$$D(\text{bug}) = w_{\text{op}} + \mathrm{sim}_{\text{AST}}(\text{original}, \text{mutated}) + \min\!\left(\frac{L_{\text{error}}}{4},\; 1.0\right)$$
+
+Where:
+
+| Component | What It Measures | Range |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| $w_{\text{op}}$ | Operator priority weight (higher = harder family) | 1–6 |
+| $\mathrm{sim}_{\text{AST}}$ | How close the mutated AST is to the original | 0.0–1.0 |
+| $L_{\text{error}}$ | Length of execution error output | 0–∞ |
+
+**The hardest bugs are those that change very little in the code structure but produce diagnostic error messages that require careful reasoning to interpret.**
+
+The priority weights for each operator family:
+
+| Operator | Priority Weight ($w_{\text{op}}$) |
+|:---|:---|
+| `wrong_builtin` | 1 |
+| `off_by_one` | 2 |
+| `wrong_operator` | 3 |
+| `condition_negation` | 4 |
+| `slice_boundary_corruption` | 5 |
+| `loop_boundary_shift` | 6 |
+

+
+## 💰 Reward Mechanism
+
+The reward system is the heart of DebugZero's self-improvement loop. Both roles receive **role-specific rewards** that incentivize distinct skills.
+
+### Proposer Reward Function
+
+$$R_{\text{proposer}}(\mathbf{x}) = \begin{cases} -0.5 & \text{if syntax error or unsafe code} \\ \;\;\;0.0 & \text{if code unchanged} \\ -0.1 & \text{if changed but tests still pass} \\ \;\;\;0.0 & \text{if tests pass (unchanged)} \\ \;\;\;1.0 + \beta_{\text{plaus}} + \beta_{\text{learn}} & \text{if tests fail (valid bug created)} \end{cases}$$
+
+Where:
+
+**Plausibility Bonus** $\beta_{\text{plaus}}$ — Rewards bugs that look like realistic programmer mistakes, not random corruption:
+
+$$
+\beta_{\text{plaus}} = \mathrm{dist}_{\text{AST}}(\text{original},\;\text{mutated}) = \begin{cases}
+1.0 & \text{if fuzz ratio} \geq 85\% \\
+\max\!\left(0.1,\; \frac{\text{fuzz ratio} - 50}{35}\right) & \text{if } 50\% \leq \text{fuzz ratio} \lt 85\% \\
+0.0 & \text{if fuzz ratio} \lt 50\%
+\end{cases}
+$$
+
+The plausibility score uses **Levenshtein-based AST similarity** (via `thefuzz`). A targeted single-node mutation typically scores 85–98% similarity → full bonus. Random wide corruption scores below 50% → zero bonus.
+
+**Learnability Bonus** $\beta_{\text{learn}}$ — Incentivizes bugs that are neither trivially easy nor impossibly hard for the solver:
+
+$$\beta_{\text{learn}} = \begin{cases} 1.0 & \text{if } 0.2 \leq \bar{s}_{\text{seed}} \leq 0.8 \\ 0.0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
+
+Where $\bar{s}_{\text{seed}}$ is the **rolling solve rate** for the current seed task (exponential window of last 20 episodes). This creates **automatic curriculum generation**: the proposer is pushed toward the "zone of proximal development" — tasks hard enough to challenge the solver but not so hard they produce zero learning signal.
+
+### Solver Reward Function
+
+The solver reward is intentionally simpler and more direct:
+
+$$R_{\text{solver}}(\mathbf{x}) = \begin{cases} -0.5 & \text{if syntax error or unsafe code} \\ \;\;\;0.0 & \text{if tests still fail} \\ \;\;\;1.0 & \text{if all tests pass (bug successfully repaired)} \end{cases}$$
+
+### Why This Reward Design Works
+
+| Design Choice | Reasoning |
+|:---|:---|
+| **Penalty for syntax errors** (−0.5) | Prevents degenerate outputs; models must produce valid Python |
+| **Zero reward for no change** | The proposer can't "cheat" by returning the original code |
+| **Negative reward for changed-but-passing** (−0.1) | Discourages cosmetic refactors that don't actually break tests |
+| **Plausibility bonus** | Incentivizes realistic bugs over random corruption |
+| **Learnability bonus** | Creates an automatic difficulty curriculum |
+| **Simple solver reward** | Keeps solver optimization stable and interpretable |
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Grading System & Plausibility Scoring
+
+### Episode Scoring
+
+The environment tracks episode progress through a composite score:
+
+| Event | Score |
+|:---|:---|
+| Proposer creates a valid bug (tests fail, no syntax error) | 0.5 |
+| Solver successfully repairs the bug (all tests pass) | 1.0 |
+| Proposer fails (syntax error, unchanged, or tests still pass) | 0.0 |
+| Solver fails (syntax error or tests still fail) | 0.5 (if proposer succeeded) |
+
+### Code Safety Validation
+
+Every code submission is validated through a **three-layer safety pipeline**:
+
+1. **Text-level scan**: Block dangerous imports (`os`, `sys`, `subprocess`, `shutil`, `pathlib`) and dangerous builtins (`__import__`, `eval`, `exec`, `open`)
+2. **AST-level scan**: Walk the full parse tree to detect disguised dynamic imports and aliased dangerous calls
+3. **Subprocess isolation**: Execute code in a sandboxed subprocess with a **5-second timeout**
+
+### Solve Rate History
+
+The grading system maintains a **rolling window** (last 20 episodes) of solve rates per seed task:
+
+$$\bar{s}_{\text{seed}} = \frac{1}{\min(N, 20)} \sum_{i=1}^{\min(N, 20)} \mathbb{1}[\text{solved}_i]$$
+
+This solve rate history serves two critical functions:
+1. **Feeds the learnability bonus** — keeping bugs in the productive difficulty range
+2. **Enables weighted proposer prompt sampling** — seeds with lower break rates get more training emphasis
+
+---
+
+## 🏋 Training Setup (GRPO)
+
+### Algorithm: Group Relative Policy Optimization
+
+DebugZero uses **GRPO** (Group Relative Policy Optimization) from TRL, which is particularly well-suited for self-play environments because it:
+- Generates **multiple completions per prompt** and ranks them by reward
+- Optimizes the policy using **relative advantages** within each group
+- Avoids the instability of absolute reward signals in adversarial settings
+
+### Training Configuration
+
+| Parameter | Value | Rationale |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Base Model | `Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct` | Deliberately tiny — proves the environment works even with minimal model capacity |
+| Learning Rate | $2 \times 10^{-5}$ | Conservative to prevent catastrophic forgetting |
+| Batch Size | 1 (per device) | Memory constraint with code execution overhead |
+| Gradient Accumulation | 4 steps | Effective batch size of 4 |
+| Generations per Prompt | 4 | GRPO group size for ranking |
+| Max Steps | 200 | Full training run (20 epochs) |
+| Max Prompt Length | 768 tokens | Sufficient for code + context |
+| Max Completion Length | 256 tokens | Sufficient for single-function output |
+| Precision | bfloat16 | Via Unsloth, with smart gradient offloading |
+| LoRA Rank | 16 | Efficient fine-tuning of attention + MLP layers |
+| Optimizer | AdamW 8-bit | Memory-efficient optimization |
+| Runtime | ~64 minutes | On a single A100 GPU |
+
+### Dataset Composition
+
+The training dataset is **mixed-role** by design:
+
+| Component | Count | Purpose |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Solver prompts | 18–40 | Repair verified bugs (heavier weight) |
+| Proposer prompts | 9–10 | Generate new bugs (lighter but present) |
+| **Total rows** | **27–50** | Per training build |
+
+The **2:1 solver-to-proposer ratio** is deliberate: solver rewards have a cleaner gradient, so heavier solver representation stabilizes training while still exposing the model to proposer reasoning.
+
+### Weighted Proposer Sampling
+
+Proposer prompts are **not sampled uniformly**. The system uses prior break rates to oversample:
+- Seeds where the proposer historically struggles (lower break rate → higher weight)
+- Underrepresented bug operator families (rarer operators get priority)
+
+75% of proposer prompts include a **targeted bug focus instruction** (e.g., "Focus on `loop_boundary_shift`"), encouraging operator diversity.
+
+### Training Loop
+
+```
+1. Build verified bug bank from seed tasks
+2. Construct mixed-role dataset (solver-heavy)
+3. Evaluate model on fixed holdout set (PRE-training baseline)
+4. Run GRPO training with dual reward functions
+5. Evaluate model on same holdout set (POST-training comparison)
+6. Save comparison plots + metrics JSON
+```

+## 🤖 Models Tested
+
+| Model | Parameters | Purpose | Notes |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| `Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Instruct` | 0.5B | **Featured training run** ✅ | Proves the environment works even with the smallest model |
+| `Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Instruct` | 1.5B | Mid-range training | Good balance for development |
+| `Qwen2.5-Coder-3B-Instruct` | 3B | Default training target | Best capability-to-cost ratio |
+| `Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct` | 7B | Strong evaluation baseline | Used for API smoke tests |
+| `Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct` | 8B | Cross-architecture evaluation | Tests generalization beyond Qwen |
+
+> **Why start with 0.5B?** If a self-improving environment can teach a 500M-parameter model to go from 80% → 100% task pass rate, that is strong evidence the environment has real signal — not that a large model is brute-forcing solutions.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Results & Plots
+
+### The Story in One Paragraph
+
+We trained **Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B** — one of the smallest code models available — inside the DebugZero environment for **200 GRPO steps** (~64 minutes on a single A100). Before training, the model could already solve 8 out of 10 debugging tasks (80%). After training, it solved **all 10 (100%)**. The proposer reward rose from 0.78 to 1.96, meaning the model learned not only to fix bugs but also to *create* realistic, plausible ones. The solver achieved a perfect reward of 1.0. Reward variance collapsed to near-zero by step ~120, indicating a converged, stable policy.

+
+---
+
+### 1. Environment Validation (Before Training)
+
+Before any model touches the environment, we run deterministic controls to prove the environment has real signal:
+
+| Check | Result | What It Proves |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| Canonical code passes all tests | ✅ 10/10 | The reference implementations are correct |
+| Verified buggy code fails tests | ✅ 10/10 | The generated bugs actually break behavior |
+| Syntax errors are detected cleanly | ✅ 10/10 | The executor correctly identifies parse failures |
+
+This is important: the environment is not a toy. Clean code passes, broken code fails, and invalid code is rejected.
+
+### 2. Baseline vs Trained — The Headline Result
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/baseline_vs_trained.png" alt="Baseline vs Trained comparison showing 80% to 100% pass rate improvement and reward gains" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*Left: Solver pass rate improved from 80% (baseline) to 100% (trained). Right: Both Solver and Proposer rewards increased dramatically after 200 GRPO steps.*
+
+| Metric | Baseline (Untrained) | After GRPO (200 steps) | Change |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Solver Pass Rate** | 80% (8/10) | **100% (10/10)** | **+20%** ✅ |
+| **Solver Mean Reward** | ≈ 0.00 | **1.00** | **+1.00** |
+| **Proposer Mean Reward** | ≈ 0.78 | **1.96** | **+1.18** |
+| **Reward Std Dev (final)** | 0.72 | **0.05** | Converged |
+
+The proposer reward of 1.96 means the model consistently earns the base reward (1.0) plus the full plausibility bonus (≈1.0), meaning it learned to inject **targeted, realistic bugs** — not random corruption.
+

+*Mean reward over 200 GRPO steps. The blue band shows ±1 standard deviation. The red dashed line is a cubic trend fit. Reward rises sharply in the first 75 steps, then stabilizes around 1.30 — indicating the model has learned a reliable strategy for both bug injection and repair.*
+
+**Three training phases are visible:**
+
+| Phase | Steps | Reward | What's Happening |
+|:---|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Exploration** | 1–40 | 0.68–1.20 | High variance; model exploring different bug strategies |
+| **Rapid Learning** | 40–100 | 1.00–1.40 | Reward climbing; model discovering effective patterns |
+| **Convergence** | 100–200 | 1.20–1.43 | Stable policy; near-zero reward variance |
+
+### 4. Policy Convergence — Reward Variance Collapse
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/reward_std_collapse.png" alt="Reward standard deviation collapsing from 0.85 to near-zero over 200 steps" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*Reward standard deviation across training. Early high variance (exploring) collapses to near-zero by step ~120. This is the clearest signal of a converged policy — the model has found a reliable strategy and stopped guessing.*
+
+This plot is arguably the most important: it proves the model didn't just get lucky. It learned a **stable, repeatable** approach to both proposing and solving bugs.
+
+### 5. Training Loss
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/training_loss.png" alt="GRPO training loss oscillating around zero with moving average" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*GRPO policy gradient loss over 200 steps. Green bars = steps that improved the policy; red bars = corrective steps. The 5-step moving average hovers near zero, which is expected behavior for a converging GRPO policy (the relative advantage within each group approaches zero as all completions become equally good).*
+
+### 6. KL Divergence from Reference
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/kl_divergence.png" alt="KL divergence staying bounded around 0.06 — model stays close to pretrained knowledge" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*KL divergence between the training policy and the reference (pretrained) model. Mean KL ≈ 0.065. The divergence stays bounded and stable, meaning the model improved its debugging skill without forgetting its pretrained coding knowledge.*
+
+### 7. Proposer vs Solver Co-Evolution
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/proposer_vs_solver.png" alt="Proposer and Solver rewards rising together over 200 training steps — self-play co-evolution" width="850"/>
+</p>
+
+*Proposer (amber) and Solver (teal) rewards plotted over training. Both roles improve simultaneously — the hallmark of self-play co-evolution. The Proposer learns to create increasingly plausible bugs (final reward: 1.96), while the Solver learns to repair them (final reward: 1.00). Background shading marks the three training phases: Exploration → Learning → Converged.*
+
+### 8. Completion Length — Model Gets Concise
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/completion_length.png" alt="Mean completion length stabilizing around 50 tokens — model learns concise output" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*Completion token length over training. The gap between total and terminated length represents clipped (max-length) completions. Early in training, the model produces verbose, unfocused output (~95–146 tokens). By step 40, it learns to produce concise, single-function output (~50 tokens), exactly what the task requires.*
+
+### 9. Reward Diversity — Exploration to Exploitation
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/reward_diversity.png" alt="Reward function standard deviation dropping from 1.0 to 0.35 — model moves from exploration to exploitation" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*Standard deviation of reward across completions within each GRPO group. High diversity early on means the model is exploring many strategies (some good, some bad). The steady decline shows the model settling on a reliable approach — the transition from exploration to exploitation that every successful RL run exhibits.*
+
+### 10. Clipping Ratio — Staying Within Token Budget
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="assets/clipping_ratio.png" alt="Clipping ratio staying below 25% — model learns to produce complete outputs within the token limit" width="800"/>
+</p>
+
+*Percentage of completions that hit the max-length limit (256 tokens). This oscillates but generally stays manageable, confirming that the model has learned to express its solutions within the allocated token budget. Spikes indicate occasional verbose completions on harder tasks.*
+
+### 11. Final Reward Breakdown
+
+These are the final average rewards computed over the last 50 completions of training:
+
+```
+========================================
+FINAL REWARD METRICS (Last 50 Completions)
+========================================
+Final Average Proposer Reward: 1.9566
+Final Average Solver Reward:   1.0000
+========================================
+Baseline Pass Rate: 8/10  (80.0%)
+Trained Pass Rate:  10/10 (100.0%)
+========================================
+```
+
+**What these numbers mean:**
+
+- **Proposer Reward 1.96** = $1.0$ (base: valid bug created) $+ \sim1.0$ (plausibility bonus: AST similarity > 85%). The model learned to inject *minimal, targeted* mutations.
+- **Solver Reward 1.00** = Perfect. Every bug the proposer creates, the solver can now fix.
+- **100% Pass Rate** = The trained model solves all 10 holdout debugging tasks — including both tasks it couldn't solve before training.
+
+---
+
+## 🌍 Why This Matters
+
+### For Coding-Agent Researchers
+
+DebugZero turns debugging into a **measurable environment** with executable feedback. Instead of relying on human-labeled datasets of bugs, the environment generates its own challenges at the right difficulty level. This means:
+- No dataset curation bottleneck
+- Infinitely scaling training data
+- Natural difficulty progression
+
+### For RL-for-Code Work
+
+The reward signal is **richer than simple pass/fail** while still staying grounded in tests. The plausibility bonus, learnability bonus, and solve-rate history create a reward landscape that shapes behavior in meaningful ways — not just "did the code work?" but "did the model learn the right skills?"
+
+### For Developer Tools
+
+DebugZero targets the everyday regime where code is **almost correct** and small repairs matter more than full rewrites. This is exactly the use case for:
+- AI-powered code review
+- Automated bug triage
+- IDE-integrated repair suggestions
+
+### For the Self-Improvement Theme
+
+DebugZero demonstrates all four pillars of **recursive skill amplification**:
+
+| Pillar | How DebugZero Implements It |
+|:---|:---|
+| **Self-generated challenges** | The Proposer creates new bugs — no human in the loop |
+| **Automatic difficulty escalation** | Learnability bonus pushes bugs to the optimal difficulty |
+| **Self-play co-evolution** | Proposer and Solver roles drive each other's improvement |
+| **Adaptive curriculum** | Solve-rate history dynamically reweights training emphasis |
+
+### The Deeper Argument
+
+Self-improvement for code agents should not only mean *"generate more code."* It should also mean:
+- **Generate the right failures** (Proposer)
+- **Learn from those failures** (Solver)  
+- **Recover gracefully** (Minimal repair)
+
+DebugZero trains all three skills in a single self-play loop. The result is an agent that doesn't just write code — it understands how code breaks and how to fix it.

+
+## 🚀 How To Run
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- [UV package manager](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) (recommended)
+
+### Install Dependencies
 
 ```bash
 uv sync
 ```
 
-Start the server:
+### Start the Environment Server
 
 ```bash
 uv run --project . server
 ```
 
-Run deterministic controls and the optional live API probe:
+The server starts on `http://localhost:8000` with the following endpoints:
+- `GET /health` — Health check
+- `POST /reset` — Reset the environment
+- `POST /step` — Take an action
+
+### Run Deterministic Validation
 
 ```bash
 python -X utf8 eval/api_baseline.py
 ```
 
-Run the inference loop with flat `[START]`, `[STEP]`, and `[END]` logs:
+This verifies that the environment has real signal before any model is involved.
+
+### Run Multi-Episode Inference
 
 ```bash
 python -X utf8 inference.py
 ```
 
-Run the GRPO smoke test:
+Produces structured `[START]`, `[STEP]`, and `[END]` logs for each episode.
+
+### Run GRPO Training (Smoke Test)
 
 ```bash
 python -X utf8 training/grpo_train.py --dry_run
 ```
 
-## Additional References
+Runs a quick local training loop with a tiny model (2 steps) to verify the full pipeline.
+
+### Run Full GRPO Training
+
+```bash
+python -X utf8 training/grpo_train.py
+```
+
+Full training with `Qwen2.5-Coder-3B-Instruct` for 80 steps. Requires GPU.
+
+### Docker Deployment
+
+```bash

+#
+# Checks that your HF Space is live, Docker image builds, and openenv validate passes.
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+#   - Docker:       https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
+#   - openenv-core: pip install openenv-core
+#   - curl (usually pre-installed)
+#
+# Run:
+#   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/main/scripts/validate-submission.sh | bash -s -- <ping_url> [repo_dir]
+#
+#   Or download and run locally:
+#     chmod +x validate-submission.sh
+#     ./validate-submission.sh <ping_url> [repo_dir]
+#
+# Arguments:
+#   ping_url   Your HuggingFace Space URL (e.g. https://your-space.hf.space)
+#   repo_dir   Path to your repo (default: current directory)
+#
+# Examples:
