//! PPO Long Training Test (30 epochs) //! //! Proves 30 epochs of PPO training completes without divergence: //! all losses finite, checkpoint saved, policy loss bounded by PPO clipping, //! and training pipeline runs end-to-end on production-sized state (54 features). //! //! Note: Unlike DQN, PPO value loss does NOT monotonically decrease. As the policy //! changes, the value landscape shifts, causing value loss to fluctuate. This is //! expected behavior documented in the PPO literature. //! //! Run manually: //! ```sh //!
