Paul Huliganga 8c9fd76c68 fix: reduce timesteps to 1k-5k for Phase 1 CPU training; add sim health/stuck detection; fix PPO throttle clamp 
Problems fixed:
- Timesteps 5k-30k caused all trials to timeout (PPO+CNN+CPU needs ~0.1s/step)
- New range: 1000-5000 steps fits well within 480s timeout
- PPO random init policy outputs throttle~0 -> car sits still -> fix with ThrottleClampWrapper (min 0.2)
- Sim stuck detection: if speed<0.02 for 100 consecutive steps, stop training and report error
- Sim frozen detection: if observation unchanged for 30 steps, stop training (connection lost)
- eval_episodes reduced to 3 to speed up evaluation phase
