//! 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
//! SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo test -p ml --test ppo_long_training_test -- --ignored --nocapture
//! ```
