Experiment Scripts

These scripts were used to run individual training experiments. Each corresponds to an entry in docs/TEST_HISTORY.md.

Script	Experiment	Key change
mountain_v5.py	Exp 5	v5 reward + throttle_min=0.5, direct model.learn()
mountain_continue.py	Exp 4	Continued Exp3 training
mountain_high_throttle.py	Exp 3	throttle_min=0.5, old v4 reward
exp6_mountain_v5_proper.py	Exp 6	v5 + termination, wrong steps_per_switch (=total)
exp7_mountain_proper.py	Exp 7	v5 + termination, correct steps_per_switch=6000, had phantom car issue
exp8_mountain_clean.py	Exp 8	v5 + throttle_min=0.5, single connection, correct checkpointing
exp9_mountain_v5_throttle02.py	Exp 9	v5 + throttle_min=0.2, OUR BEST MODEL
exp10_two_tracks.py	Exp 10	Two tracks via custom script (abandoned — used multitrack_runner.py instead)
overnight.py	Overnight runs	mountain-only and Trial9-repeat experiments
wave5_train.py	Wave 5	generated_track only with throttle_min=0.2

Rule going forward

ALL experiment scripts must be saved here and committed to git BEFORE running. Scripts in /tmp are lost on reboot.

Use multitrack_runner.py directly for two-track training: python3 multitrack_runner.py --total-timesteps 90000 --steps-per-switch 6000 ...

For single-track experiments, use the pattern from exp8/exp9:
