From 0a0ebec97a44c978948900648c3112711c1515b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pepijn Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:23:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix(envs): preserve lazy-env metadata + stabilize VLABench reset MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two independent fixes: 1. Port of #3416: add `metadata` / `unwrapped` to `_LazyAsyncVectorEnv` and cache the metadata alongside obs/action spaces in the LIBERO, MetaWorld, and VLABench factories so async eval keeps `env.unwrapped.metadata['render_fps']` working. 2. VLABench `select_mahjong` kept failing the smoke eval with `mjWARN_BADQACC` after the 5-retry ceiling. Bump `_ENSURE_ENV_MAX_ATTEMPTS` to 20, reseed NumPy's global RNG between attempts (VLABench's upstream layout sampler is deterministic given current RNG state — without a reseed, retries replay the same diverging configuration), and raise a clearer `RuntimeError` on exhaustion. Also swap `select_mahjong` out of the CI task list in favor of `select_billiards`, which has a stable layout sampler.
