Paul Huliganga 138c65270f feat(exp22): add solid-hit/wedge/high-CTE exploit fixes and generated-pair warm experiments
- reward_wrapper: detect barrier/wall/tree solid hits, terminate on head-on impact
  or 4 sustained solid-hit frames; prevents car wedging against invisible barriers
- reward_wrapper: add low-speed/wedge termination — kills episode when car is pinned
  motionless (below threshold, no displacement) after grace period
- reward_wrapper: high-CTE exploit fix — return -0.25 immediately when CTE >
  max_cte_terminate (not after patience), so PPO cannot collect positive speed
  rewards while driving the large outside-road circle
- tests: 23 passing unit tests covering all new termination paths
- exp20/21/22: add parallel DummyVecEnv experiments on generated_road+generated_track
  with warm-start from champion model; exp22 is current active run
- SESSION_HANDOFF.md: live handoff doc for next session continuity
