+# XVLA Custom Processor Steps - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+Implemented three custom processor steps for XVLA that encapsulate the preprocessing and postprocessing logic previously scattered in `lerobot_eval.py` (lines 165-184).
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### 1. `/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/processor_xvla.py`
+**Changes:**
+- Added imports: `dataclass`, `numpy`, `Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle`, processor core types
+- Implemented 3 new processor step classes (all registered with `ProcessorStepRegistry`)
+
+**New Classes:**
+
+#### `XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep` 
+- **Registry Name:** `xvla_image_scale`
+- **Purpose:** Scales image observations by 255 (converts [0,1] to [0,255])
+- **Configuration:** 
+  - `image_keys: list[str] | None` - Auto-detects or specify image keys
+- **Location:** Lines 93-140
+
+#### `XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep`
+- **Registry Name:** `xvla_add_domain_id`  
+- **Purpose:** Adds domain_id tensor to complementary data
+- **Configuration:**
+  - `domain_id: int = 3` - Domain identifier
+  - `device: str = "cuda"` - Tensor device
+- **Location:** Lines 143-192
+
+#### `XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep`
+- **Registry Name:** `xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle`
+- **Purpose:** Converts 6D rotation to axis-angle and reorganizes action dimensions
+  - Input: [eef(3), rotation_6d(6), gripper(1)] = 10D
+  - Output: [eef(3), axis_angle(3), gripper(1)] = 7D
+- **Configuration:**
+  - `expected_action_dim: int = 10`
+- **Location:** Lines 195-255
+
+### 2. `/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/README_PROCESSORS.md` (NEW)
+Comprehensive documentation covering:
+- Processor step descriptions and configurations
+- Integration examples for preprocessing/postprocessing pipelines
+- Before/after comparison showing simplified evaluation code
+- JSON/YAML configuration examples
+- Reference to Groot processor patterns
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. **Registry-Based Architecture**
+All processors are registered with `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register()`, enabling:
+- Instantiation from configuration files
+- Serialization/deserialization with policies
+- Easy discovery and debugging
+
+### 2. **Proper ProcessorStep Interface**
+Each processor implements:
+- `__call__(transition: EnvTransition) -> EnvTransition` - Main processing logic
+- `transform_features(features) -> features` - Feature contract declaration
+- `get_config() -> dict` - Serializable configuration
+
+### 3. **Safe Data Handling**
+- All processors use `transition.copy()` to avoid side effects
+- Proper handling of missing/None values
+- Device-aware tensor operations
+
+### 4. **Configurable and Reusable**
+- All parameters exposed in `get_config()`
+- Can be customized per deployment
+- Works with any XVLA model configuration
+
+## Usage Impact
+
+### Before (from lerobot_eval.py):
+```python
+# Lines 166-184 - scattered preprocessing/postprocessing
+observation[f"observation.images.image"] = observation[f"observation.images.image"] * 255
+observation[f"observation.images.image2"] = observation[f"observation.images.image2"] * 255
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+observation["domain_id"] = torch.tensor([int(3)], dtype=torch.long).to("cuda")
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation).to("cpu").numpy()
+target_eef = action[:, :3]
+target_axis = Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle(action[:, 3:9])
+target_act = action[:, 9:10]
+action_numpy = np.concatenate([target_eef, target_axis, target_act], axis=-1)
+```
+
+### After (with custom processors):
+```python
+# Clean and simple - processors encapsulate all the logic
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)  # Includes image scaling + domain_id
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation)
+action = postprocessor(action)  # Includes rotation conversion + device transfer
+action_numpy = action.numpy()
+```
+
+## Design Patterns Followed
+
+1. **Groot Processor Reference:** Followed same patterns as `processor_groot.py`:
+   - Dataclass-based configuration
+   - Registry registration
+   - State management via `get_config()`
+   - Proper transition handling
+
+2. **LeRobot Processor Guidelines:** (from `implement_your_own_processor.mdx`):
+   - Safe data handling with `copy()`
+   - Clear error messages
+   - Device/dtype awareness
+   - Feature contract declaration
+
+3. **Pipeline Integration:** 
+   - Works seamlessly with `PolicyProcessorPipeline`
+   - Automatic dict ↔ EnvTransition conversion
+   - Composable with other processor steps
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Cleaner Code:** Evaluation loop is now much simpler
+2. **Maintainable:** Processing logic is centralized and well-documented
+3. **Configurable:** All parameters can be adjusted via config files
+4. **Reusable:** Can be used across different XVLA deployments
+5. **Testable:** Each processor can be tested independently
+6. **Serializable:** Processors save/load with the policy
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+1. **Unit Tests:**
+   - Test each processor with sample transitions
+   - Verify image scaling (multiply by 255)
+   - Verify domain_id addition and device placement
+   - Verify rotation conversion accuracy
+
+2. **Integration Tests:**
+   - Test full preprocessing pipeline
+   - Test full postprocessing pipeline
+   - Verify evaluation loop still works correctly
+   - Test with different domain_ids and devices
+
+3. **Configuration Tests:**
+   - Test loading processors from config
+   - Test serialization/deserialization
+   - Test overrides mechanism
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Update XVLA Policy Factory:** Optionally add these processors to the default pipeline in `make_xvla_pre_post_processors()` or document how to add them via config
+
+2. **Update lerobot_eval.py:** Simplify the evaluation code to use the new processors
+
+3. **Add Configuration Examples:** Create sample config files showing processor integration
+
+4. **Add Tests:** Implement unit and integration tests for the new processors
+
+## Notes
+
+- No changes made to `make_xvla_pre_post_processors()` as requested
+- Processors are available but not automatically included (must be added via config)
+- All processors follow LeRobot conventions and best practices
+- Compatible with existing XVLA model configurations

+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Simplest Usage
+
+### Option 1: Import and Use Directly
+
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import (
+    XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep,
+    XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep,
+    XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep,
+)
+
+# Add to your existing preprocessor steps
+preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(
+    steps=[
+        # ... your existing steps ...
+        XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep(),
+        # ... more steps ...
+        XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep(domain_id=3),
+    ]
+)
+
+# Add to your postprocessor steps
+postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(
+    steps=[
+        XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep(),
+        DeviceProcessorStep(device="cpu"),
+    ]
+)
+```
+
+### Option 2: Load from Config
+
+```python
+# In your config.json or YAML:
+{
+    "preprocessor_steps": [
+        {"name": "xvla_image_scale"},
+        {"name": "xvla_add_domain_id", "domain_id": 3, "device": "cuda"}
+    ],
+    "postprocessor_steps": [
+        {"name": "xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle", "expected_action_dim": 10}
+    ]
+}
+
+# Then load:
+preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline.from_pretrained("path/to/config")
+```
+
+## Evaluation Loop Comparison
+
+### ❌ Old Way (Manual Processing)
+```python
+# Scattered preprocessing
+observation["observation.images.image"] *= 255
+observation["observation.images.image2"] *= 255
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+observation["domain_id"] = torch.tensor([3], dtype=torch.long).to("cuda")
+
+# Policy inference
+action = policy.select_action(observation)
+
+# Manual postprocessing
+target_eef = action[:, :3]
+target_axis = Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle(action[:, 3:9])
+target_act = action[:, 9:10]
+action = np.concatenate([target_eef, target_axis, target_act], axis=-1)
+```
+
+### ✅ New Way (With Custom Processors)
+```python
+# All preprocessing in one call
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)  # Includes scaling + domain_id
+
+# Policy inference
+action = policy.select_action(observation)
+
+# All postprocessing in one call
+action = postprocessor(action)  # Includes rotation conversion
+```
+
+**Result:** 13 lines → 6 lines of cleaner, more maintainable code!
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Processor | Purpose | Config Key | Default |
+|-----------|---------|------------|---------|
+| **XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep** | Scale images by 255 | `xvla_image_scale` | Auto-detect images |
+| **XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep** | Add domain_id tensor | `xvla_add_domain_id` | domain_id=3, device="cuda" |
+| **XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep** | Convert 6D→axis-angle | `xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle` | expected_action_dim=10 |
+
+## Key Benefits
+
+1. ✅ **Clean code** - No scattered preprocessing logic
+2. ✅ **Configurable** - Adjust via config files
+3. ✅ **Reusable** - Works across different XVLA setups
+4. ✅ **Serializable** - Saves/loads with policy
+5. ✅ **Testable** - Each processor can be tested independently
+6. ✅ **Registry-based** - Easy instantiation from config
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Update your evaluation script** to use the new processors
+2. **Add processors to your config** if using config-based loading
+3. **Test with your specific XVLA model** to ensure compatibility
+4. **Adjust parameters** as needed (domain_id, device, etc.)

+# XVLA Custom Processor Steps
+
+Three custom processor steps have been implemented for XVLA that encapsulate the preprocessing and postprocessing logic from `lerobot_eval.py`.
+
+## Processor Steps
+
+### 1. XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep
+**Registry Name:** `xvla_image_scale`
+
+Scales image observations by 255 (from [0,1] to [0,255] range).
+
+```python
+XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep(
+    image_keys=None  # Auto-detects "observation.images.*" or specify list
+)
+```
+
+### 2. XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep  
+**Registry Name:** `xvla_add_domain_id`
+
+Adds `domain_id` tensor to complementary data for multi-domain support.
+
+```python
+XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep(
+    domain_id=3,     # Domain identifier
+    device="cuda"    # Tensor device
+)
+```
+
+### 3. XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep
+**Registry Name:** `xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle`
+
+Converts 6D rotation to axis-angle representation:
+- **Input:** [eef(3), rotation_6d(6), gripper(1)] = 10D
+- **Output:** [eef(3), axis_angle(3), gripper(1)] = 7D
+
+```python
+XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep(
+    expected_action_dim=10
+)
+```
+
+## Integration with Config
+
+These steps can be added to your XVLA policy configuration:
+
+### In Preprocessing Pipeline:
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import (
+    XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep,
+    XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep,
+)
+
+preprocessor_steps = [
+    RenameObservationsProcessorStep(rename_map={}),
+    AddBatchDimensionProcessorStep(),
+    XVLAImageScaleProcessorStep(),  # Add this
+    TokenizerProcessorStep(...),
+    DeviceProcessorStep(device="cuda"),
+    XVLAAddDomainIdProcessorStep(domain_id=3),  # Add this
+    NormalizerProcessorStep(...),
+]
+```
+
+### In Postprocessing Pipeline:
+```python
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.processor_xvla import XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep
+
+postprocessor_steps = [
+    UnnormalizerProcessorStep(...),
+    XVLARotation6DToAxisAngleProcessorStep(),  # Add this
+    DeviceProcessorStep(device="cpu"),
+]
+```
+
+## Usage in Evaluation
+
+Now your evaluation loop simplifies to:
+
+```python
+# Before (from lerobot_eval.py lines 165-184)
+observation[f"observation.images.image"] = observation[f"observation.images.image"] * 255
+observation[f"observation.images.image2"] = observation[f"observation.images.image2"] * 255
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+observation["domain_id"] = torch.tensor([int(3)], dtype=torch.long).to("cuda")
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation).to("cpu").numpy()
+target_eef = action[:, :3]
+target_axis = Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle(action[:, 3:9])
+target_act = action[:, 9:10]
+action_numpy = np.concatenate([target_eef, target_axis, target_act], axis=-1)
+
+# After (clean and simple)
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)  # Add task
+observation = preprocessor(observation)  # Scales images + adds domain_id
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation)
+action = postprocessor(action)  # Converts rotation + moves to CPU
+action_numpy = action.numpy()
+```
+
+## Configuration via Registry
+
+All steps are registered and can be loaded from JSON/YAML config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "preprocessor": {
+    "steps": [
+      {"name": "xvla_image_scale"},
+      {"name": "xvla_add_domain_id", "domain_id": 3, "device": "cuda"}
+    ]
+  },
+  "postprocessor": {
+    "steps": [
+      {"name": "xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle", "expected_action_dim": 10}
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Reference
+
+See `processor_groot.py` for similar patterns - these XVLA processors follow the same design:
+- Registered with `@ProcessorStepRegistry.register()`
+- Implement `__call__`, `transform_features`, and `get_config`
+- Operate on `EnvTransition` objects
+- Properly handle `transition.copy()` to avoid side effects

+# XVLA Configuration and Evaluation Updates - Summary
+
+## Overview
+Updated XVLA configuration files and evaluation script to use the new custom processor steps, eliminating manual preprocessing and postprocessing code.
+
+## Files Modified
+
+### 1. `/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/policy_preprocessor.json`
+
+**Added two new processor steps:**
+
+#### Step 3: `xvla_image_scale` (NEW - Line 14-19)
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_image_scale",
+  "config": {
+    "image_keys": null
+  }
+}
+```
+- **Position:** After `to_batch_processor`, before `tokenizer_processor`
+- **Purpose:** Scales images by 255 (converts from [0,1] to [0,255])
+- **Replaces:** Manual code `observation["observation.images.image"] *= 255`
+
+#### Step 6: `xvla_add_domain_id` (NEW - Line 38-44)
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_add_domain_id",
+  "config": {
+    "domain_id": 3,
+    "device": "cuda"
+  }
+}
+```
+- **Position:** After `device_processor`, before `normalizer_processor`
+- **Purpose:** Adds domain_id tensor to complementary data
+- **Replaces:** Manual code `observation["domain_id"] = torch.tensor([int(3)], dtype=torch.long).to("cuda")`
+
+**Final preprocessing pipeline order:**
+1. `rename_observations_processor`
+2. `to_batch_processor`
+3. `xvla_image_scale` ⭐ NEW
+4. `tokenizer_processor`
+5. `device_processor`
+6. `xvla_add_domain_id` ⭐ NEW
+7. `normalizer_processor`
+
+### 2. `/src/lerobot/policies/xvla/policy_postprocessor.json`
+
+**Added one new processor step and updated device:**
+
+#### Step 2: `xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle` (NEW - Line 23-28)
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle",
+  "config": {
+    "expected_action_dim": 10
+  }
+}
+```
+- **Position:** After `unnormalizer_processor`, before `device_processor`
+- **Purpose:** Converts 6D rotation to axis-angle (10D → 7D action)
+- **Replaces:** Manual code:
+  ```python
+  target_eef = action[:, :3]
+  target_axis = Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle(action[:, 3:9])
+  target_act = action[:, 9:10]
+  action = np.concatenate([target_eef, target_axis, target_act], axis=-1)
+  ```
+
+#### Step 3: `device_processor` (UPDATED - Line 29-35)
+- **Changed device:** `"cuda"` → `"cpu"`
+- **Purpose:** Move tensors to CPU for environment interaction
+- **Replaces:** Manual code `.to("cpu")`
+
+**Final postprocessing pipeline order:**
+1. `unnormalizer_processor`
+2. `xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle` ⭐ NEW
+3. `device_processor` (device changed to "cpu") 🔧 UPDATED
+
+### 3. `/src/lerobot/scripts/lerobot_eval.py`
+
+**Removed manual preprocessing/postprocessing code:**
+
+#### Lines 91-92: Removed import (DELETED)
+```python
+# REMOVED:
+from lerobot.policies.xvla.utils import Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle
+```
+
+#### Lines 165-184: Simplified evaluation logic (REPLACED)
+
+**Before (18 lines with manual processing):**
+```python
+observation[f"observation.images.image"] = observation[f"observation.images.image"] * 255
+observation[f"observation.images.image2"] = observation[f"observation.images.image2"] * 255
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+observation["domain_id"] = torch.tensor([int(3)], dtype=torch.long).to("cuda")
+
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation).to("cpu").numpy()
+# action = postprocessor(action)  # THIS WAS COMMENTED OUT
+target_eef = action[:, :3]
+target_axis = Rotate6D_to_AxisAngle(action[:, 3:9])
+target_act = action[:, 9:10]
+action_numpy = np.concatenate([target_eef, target_axis, target_act], axis=-1)
+
+# Convert to CPU / numpy.
+# action_numpy: np.ndarray = action.to("cpu").numpy()
+assert action_numpy.ndim == 2, "Action dimensions should be (batch, action_dim)"
+```
+
+**After (11 lines, clean and simple):**
+```python
+observation = add_envs_task(env, observation)
+
+# Preprocess observation (includes image scaling and domain_id addition)
+observation = preprocessor(observation)
+
+# Policy inference
+with torch.inference_mode():
+    action = policy.select_action(observation)
+
+# Postprocess action (includes rotation conversion and device transfer to CPU)
+action = postprocessor(action)
+
+# Convert to numpy
+action_numpy: np.ndarray = action.numpy()
+assert action_numpy.ndim == 2, "Action dimensions should be (batch, action_dim)"
+```
+
+## Impact Summary
+
+### Code Reduction
+- **Lines removed:** ~13 lines of manual processing code
+- **Lines added:** ~7 lines of clean processor calls
+- **Net reduction:** ~6 lines + cleaner structure

+- [ ] domain_id is added to complementary data
+- [ ] 6D rotation correctly converts to axis-angle
+- [ ] Actions are 7D after postprocessing
+- [ ] Evaluation success rates match previous results
+- [ ] Video rendering still works
+- [ ] Multi-environment batching works correctly
+
+## Configuration Notes
+
+### Customizing Domain ID
+To change the domain ID for different embodiments, edit `policy_preprocessor.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_add_domain_id",
+  "config": {
+    "domain_id": 5,  // Change this value
+    "device": "cuda"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Customizing Image Keys
+To scale specific images only, edit `policy_preprocessor.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_image_scale",
+  "config": {
+    "image_keys": ["observation.images.image", "observation.images.wrist_cam"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Customizing Action Dimensions
+To support different action dimensions, edit `policy_postprocessor.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "registry_name": "xvla_rotation_6d_to_axis_angle",
+  "config": {

+
+## Migration Guide
+
+If you have existing XVLA checkpoints without these configs:
+
+1. **Copy the updated JSON files** to your checkpoint directory
+2. **No model retraining needed** - processors are data transforms only
+3. **Test evaluation** to ensure consistent results
+4. **Update any custom evaluation scripts** to use processors
