User's insight: a circling car stays near the same track waypoints, so
active_node (sim's track progress indicator) never advances. Track the
maximum active_node reached this episode. If it hasn't increased in
progress_patience=60 steps (~3.3s), terminate.
This catches:
- Circular driving (active_node oscillates, max never increases)
- Stuck on cone/barrier (active_node frozen)
- NOT triggered by: legitimate cornering, slow forward progress, lap resets
On lap completion, active_node wraps to 0 — reset max_node_seen and counter.
Also: Exp 12 — single track mountain training with lap-based stopping criterion.
Train until 3 consecutive laps in eval, not fixed step count.
