+Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO)
+====================================
+On-policy actor-critic algorithm that constrains the policy update via a
+clipped surrogate objective, preventing destructively large steps.
+
+Supports both:
+  - PPO-Clip  (Schulman et al., 2017) — clips the probability ratio
+  - PPO-KL    — uses an adaptive KL penalty instead of clipping
+
+Architecture
+------------
+  - Actor (policy)  π_θ(a|s)  — outputs logits for discrete or mean/log-std
+                                 for continuous actions
+  - Critic (value)  V_φ(s)    — baseline for advantage estimation
+
+Training procedure per iteration
+---------------------------------
+1. Collect T timesteps with current policy (rollout)
+2. Compute advantages  Â_t using Generalised Advantage Estimation (GAE)
+3. Run K epochs of minibatch SGD on the clipped surrogate + value + entropy losses:
+
+   L = E[ min(r_t Â_t, clip(r_t, 1-ε, 1+ε) Â_t) ]
+       - c_v (V_t - V_target)²
+       + c_e H[π_θ(·|s_t)]
+
+   where r_t = π_θ(a_t|s_t) / π_θ_old(a_t|s_t)
+
+Only numpy and Python stdlib are used.
