+"""vla-redteam (RoboPwn) — red-team open Vision-Language-Action robot policies.
+
+A model-agnostic harness that perturbs the instructions/observations fed to a VLA
+policy inside a simulator and measures how often those perturbations drive the
+policy into an *unsafe* state. The headline metric is the Attack Success Rate (ASR).
+
+The core (abstractions, attacks, scoring, runner, report, CLI) runs on a plain CPU
+with no GPU and no model/dataset download, using a deterministic StubPolicy and
+StubSuite. Real VLA policies (e.g. SmolVLA via LeRobot) live behind the optional
+``vla-redteam[lerobot]`` extra and are gated behind ``ROBOPWN_INTEGRATION=1``.
