+# Hi-Robot blend + memory + tool-call (spoken) responses.
+#
+# Superset of hirobot.yaml. Keeps the core subtask + action + VQA
+# training, and adds two text-supervised tasks:
+#
+#   high_level_subtask         — predict the subtask from the task.
+#   low_level_execution        — flow loss with [images, subtask, state].
+#   memory_update              — compress progress into a memory note.
+#   user_interjection_response — reply to a user interjection with a
+#                                spoken `say` tool call (no plan, no
+#                                subtask text — just the spoken reply).
+#   ask_vqa_{top,wrist}        — camera-grounded VQA.
+#
+# Plan is intentionally left out — memory is the only persistent
+# high-level state here, keeping the prompt short.
+#
+# Requires the dataset to carry `memory`, `interjection` and `say`-tool
+# annotations (the annotation pipeline's memory + interjection modules)
+# in addition to `subtask` and `vqa`. Sub-recipes whose `if_present`
+# bindings are missing simply don't render for that sample, so a
+# dataset without interjections still trains the rest of the blend.
+#
+# SmolVLA2 note: the `say` tool call on the interjection-response turn
+# is flattened to a `<say>...</say>` text marker by the chat tokenizer
+# (`_flatten_say_tool_calls`) before `apply_chat_template`, so the LM
+# head learns to emit exactly the marker the runtime parses back
+# (`_split_plan_and_say`).
