The "RL repair loop" is iterative LLM prompting with stderr feedback, not reinforcement learning. There is no training code, no reward function, and no environment in the repo. The loop also freezes the scene spec and only regenerates code, so if the planner specified 12 objects that geometrically do not fit on screen, three repair attempts will not help.

Thanks, I was wondering what this README could have meant by "RL loop" here.

Entire article reads as output from a well structured prompt. It's almost point for point style-wise when I ask for a summary for current repo changes before deciding to do the commit.

Did anybody else notice the random "Christian" in the README?

probably intended to be a signature for the preface, since Christian is the repo owner's name, that turned into a list because of markdown syntax

Let me guess, it’s the 4294967296th LLM wrapper.
