+### Supervised Fine-Tuning for Crafter
+
+This folder provides a minimal, reusable SFT workflow that pulls out the SFT step from `examples/warming_up_to_rl/` and focuses it on LoRA/QLoRA. We've also added guidance for running full finetuning (FFT) so you can compare adapters against end-to-end weight updates.
+
+It supports distilling Groq (or other vendor) rollouts into JSONL using tracing and then training a small base model like `Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B`.
+
+---
+
+### 0) Load environment from .env.dev (recommended)
+
+Use your dev env file so keys/URLs are sourced consistently:
+
+```bash
+# Example path; update to your actual dev env
+set -a && source /Users/joshpurtell/Documents/GitHub/monorepo/backend/.env.dev && set +a
+```
+
+This ensures `ENVIRONMENT_API_KEY`, `GROQ_API_KEY`, and (optionally) `BACKEND_BASE_URL` are available to the steps below.
+
+---
+
+### 1) Collect traces and export SFT JSONL
+
+You can generate traces with the Crafter task app and then export them to SFT JSONL using the existing exporter:
+
+```bash
+# Serve the task app locally with tracing enabled (example)
+uvx synth-ai serve grpo-crafter \
+  --trace traces/v3 \
+  --trace-db traces/v3/synth_ai.db \
+  --port 8001
+
+# Or run traced local rollouts to accumulate data
+uv run python examples/warming_up_to_rl/run_local_rollout_traced.py \
+  --episodes 50 --max-turns 10
+
+# Export SFT dataset from the trace DB
+uv run python examples/warming_up_to_rl/export_trace_sft.py \
+  --db traces/v3/synth_ai.db \
+  --min-unique 0 \
+  --output examples/sft/ft_data/crafter_traces.jsonl
+```
+
+Notes:
+- The exporter uses achievements and event rewards to filter high-signal steps. Combine `--min-unique`, `--min-outcome-reward`, `--event-reward`, and `--require-achievement` to control data quality.
+- You can restrict to sessions from certain providers/models with `--provider`/`--model`.
+- Use `--limit` while debugging to reduce dataset size quickly.
+
+---
+
+### 2a) Train LoRA (QLoRA) on Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B
+
+Use the standard CLI. Do not use a custom Python finetuning script. Point the CLI at your `.env.dev` so it picks up keys automatically:
+
+```bash
+uvx synth-ai train \
+  --type sft \
+  --config examples/sft/configs/crafter_lora_qwen0p6b.toml \
+  --dataset examples/sft/ft_data/crafter_traces.jsonl \
+  --env-file /Users/joshpurtell/Documents/GitHub/monorepo/backend/.env.dev
+```
+
+The config sets `training.use_qlora = true` and `hyperparameters.train_kind = "peft"` to request LoRA adapters.
+
+Experiment tips:
+- The backend currently defaults to a LoRA rank of 16. If you need other ranks, generate the payload with `--dry-run`, add `"lora_rank": <value>` (and optional `"lora_alpha"`, `"lora_dropout"`) under `hyperparameters`, and submit it via the API until the CLI exposes these knobs directly.
+- Duplicate the TOML and adjust `hyperparameters.warmup_ratio`, `learning_rate`, or `gradient_accumulation_steps` to keep the global batch size comparable across datasets.
+
+---
+
+### 2b) Train Full Finetune (FFT) on Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B
+
+Full finetuning updates all weights and uses a near-identical CLI flow with the LoRA toggle disabled. The helper config lives alongside the LoRA sample:
+
+```bash
+uvx synth-ai train \
+  --type sft \
+  --config examples/sft/configs/crafter_fft_qwen0p6b.toml \
+  --dataset examples/sft/ft_data/crafter_traces.jsonl \
+  --env-file /Users/joshpurtell/Documents/GitHub/monorepo/backend/.env.dev
+```
+
+Key differences vs LoRA:
+- `training.use_qlora = false` and `hyperparameters.train_kind = "fft"` request a full-weight update.
+- `per_device_batch` defaults to 1 to keep memory use comfortable on a single H100; raise gradually as you confirm headroom.
+- FFT runs slower per step. Consider trimming the dataset with `--examples` or the exporter filters for quick baselines.
+
+If you want the 4B Crafter FFT baseline from the RL examples, reuse `examples/warming_up_to_rl/configs/crafter_fft_4b.toml` with the same CLI command.
+
+---
+
+### 3) Evaluate the fine-tuned models
+
+After the job completes, list your fine-tuned models and evaluate them in the Crafter loop:
+
+```bash
+# List models
+uv run python - <<'PY'
+import asyncio
+import os
+from synth_ai.learning.client import LearningClient
+
+backend = os.getenv("BACKEND_BASE_URL", "https://agent-learning.onrender.com/api")
+api_key = os.getenv("SYNTH_API_KEY", "")
+async def main():
+    client = LearningClient(backend, api_key)
+    models = await client.list_fine_tuned_models()
+    for m in models:
+        print(m)
+asyncio.run(main())
+PY
+
+# Evaluate in the Crafter eval loop (example via warming_up_to_rl)
+TASK_APP_URL=http://localhost:8001 \
+uv run python examples/warming_up_to_rl/run_eval.py \
+  --toml examples/warming_up_to_rl/configs/eval_local_vllm.toml \
+  --model ft:YOUR_FT_MODEL_ID \
+  --use-rollout
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4) Plan comparison runs
+
+Keep runs comparable by adjusting one axis at a time and logging the settings in your experiment tracker (spreadsheet, weights & biases, etc.).
+
+- **LoRA rank sweeps:** start from `crafter_lora_qwen0p6b.toml`, clone it per rank (e.g., `r=4,8,16,64`). For now add the desired `lora_rank` in the job payload manually (see note above) and include it in the run name.
+- **Dataset size:** duplicate the exported JSONL and slice with `head -n`, or pass `--examples N` to the CLI for quick subsamples. Track the effective token count using the exporter logs.
+- **Data quality:** increase `--min-unique`, require specific achievements, or exclude low-reward sessions with `export_trace_sft.py`. Capture the filter tuple in your run metadata so evaluations stay reproducible.
+- **FFT vs LoRA:** run both configs on the same dataset/cardinality so differences reflect the training method rather than the data.
+
+For each sweep, use consistent evaluation seeds and write down throughput (tokens/sec) so you can weigh quality vs cost.
+
+---
