- make_twin.sh: generates self-contained SacTwin dir in the sample-bots
archive (own json/sh identity, own weights dir seeded from a frozen
sac_best.zip copy, own round_counter) so RunTraining.java resolves it
like any sample bot; re-running resets the twin to the frozen baseline.
- src/SAC_LSTM_Bot.nim: SACLSTM_BOT_JSON env overrides the baked-in bot
json (loadBotInfo gives json total precedence, #49) so the same binary
boots under the twin's name.
- sac_train.sh: chunk loop is a while, not for-over-seq — a crash on the
FINAL chunk previously fell through ((chunk--);continue on an exhausted
seq list) and exited 0 with budget incomplete; observed live vs SacTwin.
Readiness dry-run (#54): weighted pool Corners:1,SacTwin:3 picked the twin
in 3/4 chunks; all battles counter-checked; deterministic eval parsed;
main sac_best.zip/counter untouched by twin (twin counter advanced
independently); crash-restart proven end-to-end incl. final-chunk retry.
sac_train.sh orchestrates chunked self-play via tools/training_runner/
RunTraining.java: weighted opponent sampling per chunk, deterministic
eval (SACLSTM_EVAL_MODE=1) every N chunks with win-rate tracking, best
checkpoint (weights/sac_best.zip) by eval score, crash-restart loop on
the runner's liveness detection.
Supporting changes:
- integration.nim: opponentKey() keys the NewBattle buffer-clear rule on
getBotName(id) with numeric-id fallback (#49 Q14 follow-up);
bumpRoundCounter() emits the per-round liveness signal.
- SAC_LSTM_Bot.nim: onRoundEnded -> bumpRoundCounter().
- RunTraining.java: BOT_NAME env parameterizes result matching
(default PPO_Bot, unchanged behavior for PPO).
- Launch packaging: root SAC_LSTM_Bot.json + .sh for the booter;
src json name aligned to 'SAC_LSTM_Bot' so self-reported identity
matches the booted identity (mismatch = runner connect timeout).
