refactor(rollout): integrate feedback -> api, recording, log mut and keyboard

* feat(train): add opt-in EMA of the policy weights (--ema.enable=true)

Maintain an EMA shadow via diffusers' EMAModel (lazy import, no new
dependency) with the reference Diffusion Policy schedule. Saves the
shadow for exact resume plus a loadable pretrained_model_ema/ per
checkpoint, evaluates the EMA weights during env eval, and pushes them
to a sibling <repo_id>-ema repo. Fixes huggingface/lerobot#4259.

* fix(tests): skip EMA training tests when accelerate/diffusers are missing

* feat(train): support constant EMA decay (--ema.decay) for openpi-style policies

* fix(train): gate EMA step on sync_gradients; use parallel_dims.is_sharded guard

+# Interactive Rollout — Design Notes
+
+Branch: `feat/add_interactive_rollout` · Status: Phases 1–2 committed; Round 2
+(programmatic API, sentry support, muting v2, stdin move) implemented and tested,
+uncommitted.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Vision
+
+`lerobot-rollout` runs inference on a real robot: it connects hardware, loads the policy,
+builds the processor pipelines, optionally records a dataset, and spins the control loop.
+Today that is a **one-shot, fire-and-forget** program. You pass `--task="pick up the cube"`
+on the command line, the robot starts moving immediately, and the only interaction left is
+Ctrl-C. If you want a different instruction, you kill the process and pay the full startup
+cost again — reconnecting motors, re-homing, re-loading a multi-GB VLA onto the GPU.
+
+Since LeRobot gained subtask annotation and language conditioning, that model is the
+bottleneck. The **north star** is a chat-style CLI over stdin, where the operator issues
+commands *concurrently with the robot moving*:
+
+```
+/start                              begin (or resume) the policy control loop
+/subtask Grab the red cube          re-instruct the policy on the fly
+/ask what's the capital of France?  query an LLM while the robot keeps moving
+/reset                              stop movement, return home, clear the subtask —
+                                    but keep hardware and policy warm
+/stop                               graceful shutdown
+```
+
+The unifying idea: **the expensive things (hardware, policy weights, processors) stay warm
+across commands.** Only the cheap things — the instruction, the control loop — start and
+stop. That turns a rollout from a batch job into a session you can steer.
+
+## 2. Objective (scoped)
+
+Phased, so each phase lands as a reviewable unit:
+
+| Phase | Scope | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| **1** | `--interactive` flag, non-blocking stdin listener, command parser, `/start` `/reset` `/stop` `/help` | ✅ done |
+| **1.5** | Mute system logs so they stop fighting the prompt for the terminal | ✅ done |
+| **2** | `/subtask <text>` — change the policy's instruction mid-run | ✅ done |
+| **2.5** | Round 2: `RolloutController` public API, sentry recording support, muting v2 (errors surface), stdin listener → `lerobot/utils` | ✅ done (see §5) |
+| **3** | `/ask` + hierarchical task-vs-subtask semantics (LLM in the loop) | not started |
+
+An explicit constraint through Phases 1–2: **do not couple this to the language runtime yet.**
+Build the mechanism; keep the door open.
+
+## 3. Inspiration — three reference PRs
+
+We read all three and deliberately implemented none of them verbatim.
+
+**PR #4108 — online subtask switching.** Introduces a `PromptBroker` + `PromptListenerBase`
++ `StdinPromptListener`, a `RuntimeContext.prompt_broker` field, `register_on_change`
+callbacks, an `--online_task_switching_flush` config flag, and `flush_action_queue()` /
+`_apply_pending_flush()` on `PreTrainedPolicy` — **with edits to 14 policy files** to call
+the flush at the top of `select_action`. Its architecture is designed for pluggable input
+sources (network, voice), which is the right long-term shape but more machinery than we
+need. *What we took:* the core insight that a mid-run instruction change must invalidate
+actions precomputed under the old instruction, and that the flush must happen on a thread
+that is safe to touch policy state from.
+
+**PR #4183 — experimental full-UX draft.** Achieves the whole north-star vision, but does
+so by adding a `lerobot.runtime` / `language_runtime.py` that **duplicates** `BaseStrategy`,
+`send_next_action`, and the rollout control loop. *What we took:* the UX target and the
+command vocabulary. *What we rejected:* the parallel runtime — a second control loop is a
+second thing to keep correct, and everything it does is already in `rollout/strategies/`.
+
+**PR #4234 — policy-side edits enabling #4183's runtime.** Read for context on where the
+language plumbing lands inside a policy. Relevant to Phase 3, not to what we built.
+
+## 4. What we built, and why
+
+Three commits on the branch:
+
+```

+d3ee0b820  feat(rollout): mute logs in interactive mode

+```
+

+
+```

+ tests/test_interactive_rollout.py          | 788 +++++   (new)

+```
+
+The ratio matters: **~1400 of ~1680 added lines are the new module and its tests.** The
+existing rollout architecture was reused, not reshaped.
+
+### 4.1 Segments over a linked event — the load-bearing idea
+
+Every rollout strategy's control loop already polls `ctx.runtime.shutdown_event.is_set()`
+to know when to stop. So instead of teaching strategies about interactivity, we **swap in a
+smarter event**:
+
+```python
+class LinkedEvent(Event):
+    """is_set() reflects the local flag OR a parent event."""
+    def is_set(self) -> bool:
+        return super().is_set() or self.parent.is_set()
+```
+
+`lerobot-rollout` wraps the `ProcessSignalHandler`'s shutdown event in a `LinkedEvent` when
+`--interactive=true`. The session sets the **local** flag to end a run *segment*; SIGINT /
+SIGTERM still arrive through the **parent**, so Ctrl-C behaves exactly as before.
+
+`InteractiveSession.run()` then drives `strategy.run(ctx)` in restartable segments:
+
+```
+setup(ctx)  →  [idle]  →  /start → run(ctx) → /reset → [idle] → /start → run(ctx) → /stop  →  teardown(ctx)
+                                                  ↑ hardware + policy stay warm throughout
+```
+
+**Zero strategy code changed** to support this. The only additions to `strategies/core.py`
+were `reset_control_state()` (engine + interpolator + cached-observation reset, factored
+out of `_init_engine` so a segment can restart cleanly) and making
+`_return_to_initial_position` public.
+
+### 4.2 Threading model
+
+```
+ listener thread  ──publishes flags / strings──▶  main thread
+ (stdin reader)      never touches hardware        (session loop → strategy.run → control loop)
+                     never mutates policy state
+```
+
+The listener only ever writes `threading.Event` flags and a lock-guarded string. Everything
+that touches hardware or policy state happens on the thread that already owns it. This
+mirrors the existing DAgger events pattern rather than inventing a new concurrency idiom.
+
+### 4.3 stdin must be read with `os.read`, not `readline`
+
+Non-obvious and load-bearing. The first implementation used `select()` + `stream.readline()`
+and **two tests failed**: a buffered file object slurps *several* lines off the file
+descriptor in one syscall, after which `select` reports the drained fd as not-ready and the
+buffered lines are never delivered. Pasted or piped command batches got stuck. The reader
+now does `select()` + `os.read(fd, 4096)` + manual `\n` splitting, with a
+blocking-`readline` fallback for streams without a `fileno()` (non-POSIX, test doubles).
+
+Also: unlike `TerminalKeyListener`, this reader leaves the terminal in **canonical mode** —
+the operator is typing chat commands, not pressing hotkeys.
+
+### 4.4 EOF means stop
+
+A closed stdin means there is no way left to command the robot, so EOF (Ctrl-D, or an
+exhausted piped script) stops the session. An unexpected read error is treated the same way,
+for the same reason. Consequence, documented: piped scripts must hold stdin open —
+
+```bash
+(printf '/start\n'; sleep 60; printf '/stop\n') | lerobot-rollout ... --interactive=true
+```
+
+### 4.5 Commands are last-write-wins
+
+`/reset` and `/stop` cancel a still-pending `/start`, so the robot never starts moving after
+the operator's most recent command said not to. Handlers set their intent flag *first* and
+the segment-stop event *second*; `_run_segment` clears the segment-stop flag *before*
+re-checking the intent flags. A `/reset` racing a `/start` is therefore either seen before
+the segment begins or ends it on its first tick.
+
+### 4.6 Base strategy only (enforced by config validation)
+
+`--interactive=true` with a recording strategy raises a `ValueError`. Two reasons: recording
+strategies finalize their dataset inside `run()` (so `run()` is not restartable), and their
+keyboard listeners contend with the command reader for the same TTY. This is a deliberate,
+documented limitation — not an oversight.
+
+### 4.7 Log muting (Phase 1.5)
+
+Policy, robot and control-loop logs at every level interleave with the chat prompt and
+destroy the typing UX. Simplest workable answer, per explicit request: **mute console output
+for the duration of the session.**
+
+- Every logger's console `StreamHandler` is raised above `CRITICAL` — **not just root**,
+  because `transformers` and `datasets` attach their own stderr handlers with
+  `propagate=False`.
+- `warnings.simplefilter("ignore")`, with `warnings.filters` saved and restored.
+- **File handlers are untouched** — anyone wanting a persistent log can attach one.
+- Restored in `run()`'s `finally`, *before* the closing `log_say`, so teardown logs are visible.
+
+The obvious hazard: muting hides fatal errors. So `InferenceEngine` gained a
+`failure_traceback` property, RTC captures its traceback in the fatal handler, and the
+session prints it on failure. **Do not remove that when touching the failure path.**
+
+"See both logs and prompt" — a pinned input line, `prompt_toolkit`-style — was deliberately
+deferred: it needs a new dependency and a real TUI layer.
+
+### 4.8 `/subtask` — the engine *is* the broker
+
+The pivotal call on Phase 2: **skip PR #4108's `PromptBroker`.** After Phase 1, the session
+already owns the stdin thread and the parser, so a broker + listener base + on-change
+callbacks + a new `RuntimeContext` field would be duplicate machinery — and callbacks firing
+on the listener thread are exactly the cross-thread hazard we designed against.
+
+Instead, `InferenceEngine` (the ABC every backend already implements) became the thread-safe
+task holder:
+
+```python
+@property
+def task(self) -> str: ...              # lock-guarded read
+
+def set_task(self, task) -> bool:       # callable from ANY thread; True if it changed
+    ...
+
+def _take_task(self) -> tuple[str, bool]:   # consumed on the INFERENCE thread;
+    ...                                     # returns (task, changed) and clears the edge
+```
+
+`/subtask` is then three lines: read `engine.task`, call `engine.set_task(text)`, print the
+transition. No new module, no new context field, no callbacks.
+
+**The flush problem, and why it got small.** When the instruction changes, a chunking policy
+is still serving actions computed under the old one — up to `chunk_size` ticks of stale
+behavior. PR #4108 solved this by adding `flush_action_queue()` / `_apply_pending_flush()`
+to `PreTrainedPolicy` **and editing 14 policy files**, because its flush request arrived from
+a foreign thread and had to be deferred to a safe point inside `select_action`.
+
+Ours already runs *on* the thread that calls `select_action`. So: one concrete method on
+`PreTrainedPolicy` and **zero per-policy edits**.
+
+```python
+def drop_queued_actions(self) -> None:
+    queues = getattr(self, "_queues", None)
+    if isinstance(queues, dict) and ACTION in queues:
+        queues[ACTION].clear()
+    action_queue = getattr(self, "_action_queue", None)
+    if action_queue is not None:
+        action_queue.clear()
+```
+
+Two `getattr`s cover the repo's two queue idioms across all ~18 policies
+(`_queues[ACTION]`: diffusion, smolvla, tdmpc, vqbet, wall_x, xvla, multi_task_dit, vla_jepa;
+`_action_queue`: act, pi0, pi05, pi0_fast, eo1, evo1, groot, molmoact2, fastwam, lingbot_va).
+Policies with no queue inherit a no-op.
+
+**Why not `policy.reset()`?** That was the first implementation, and review caught it as too
+blunt. For Diffusion it wipes the observation history, so the next chunk is planned from a
+history of the current frame repeated — a visible discontinuity mid-motion. And ACT /
+Diffusion / VQBeT / TDMPC don't read `task` at all, so they'd pay that jerk for nothing.
+`drop_queued_actions` keeps episode state and drops only what is actually stale.
+
+**RTC deliberately does *not* flush.** Clearing its queue would leave the robot with no
+commands for a full inference latency (~1 s on a VLA). Instead the next chunk is generated
+under the new instruction and merged over the previous chunk's leftover prefix — the switch
+lands within one inference and the motion stays continuous. That is exactly what RTC's
+blending exists for. Documented per-backend in `inference.mdx`; no config flag, one sensible
+default per backend.
+
+**`/reset` restores the launch task on the listener thread.** Subtle and worth preserving:
+the restore lives in `_cmd_reset`, not in `_reset_robot` (which runs later, on the main
+thread). Otherwise `/reset` followed immediately by `/subtask` would be ordered by *service*
+time rather than *command* time, and the deferred restore would silently revert the new
+instruction — deterministically so, for pasted or piped input. Both writers now run on the
+same thread, so command order wins. There is a regression test driving this through a real pipe.
+
+## 5. Round 2 — the feature becomes a library API
+
+Four follow-up asks landed together (currently uncommitted on the branch):
+make the components programmatic-API friendly (the priority), extend interactive
+to recording where cheap, simplify muting / surface errors, and settle the
+ssh/headless + `keyboard_input` question.
+
+### 5.1 `RolloutController` — programmatic control
+
+`interactive.py` bisected cleanly, so the generic control logic moved to a new
+`rollout/controller.py`:
+
+```python
+controller = RolloutController(strategy, ctx, on_event=my_observer)
+controller.serve()      # blocking loop (run it on whatever thread you like)
+controller.start()      # -> bool: False when a segment is already running
+controller.set_task(t)  # -> bool: re-instruct mid-run, from any thread
+controller.reset()      # -> bool: True when the launch task was restored
+controller.stop()
+controller.task / .initial_task / .running / .failed / .failure_traceback
+```
+
+- **No I/O of its own** — no stdin, no prints, no log muting, no TTS. Every
+  state transition that used to be a `print` is now a `RolloutEvent`
+  (`SEGMENT_STARTED`, `SEGMENT_ENDED`, `RESET_STARTED/DONE/SKIPPED`,
+  `ENGINE_FAILED`, `STOPPED`) emitted on the serve thread.
+- **Thread-safe by lock, not by convention.** The old ordering guarantee
+  (`/subtask` right after `/reset` must win) relied on both writes running on
+  the single stdin thread. The controller serializes `start`/`reset`/`stop`/
+  `set_task` with an internal lock, so the guarantee now holds for arbitrary
+  caller threads — the prerequisite for network/voice front-ends.
+- `InteractiveSession` shrank to a thin adapter: stdin listener + parser +
+  rendering + muting; each command maps 1:1 onto a controller method, and the
+  controller is exposed as `session.controller`.
+- Exported from `lerobot.rollout`: `RolloutController`, `RolloutEvent`,
+  `LinkedEvent`. `docs/source/inference.mdx` gained a **Programmatic control**
+  section with a complete embedding example.
+
+### 5.2 Sentry + interactive — recording while you steer
+
+Decision, per the agreed criteria: the `/record` keyboard-handoff idea is
+**medium-to-large** (listeners have no suspend/resume API and start at
+creation, `esc` handlers are hardcoded and collide, pynput captures globally
+while you type, and each strategy carries per-run stale flags) → rejected.
+But the investigation showed **sentry has zero keyboard code** — the config
+comment lumping it with the keyboard strategies was simply wrong — and its
+only real blocker was one line: `with VideoEncodingManager(dataset)` inside
+`run()` finalizes the dataset the first time `run()` returns, after which a
+restarted segment would silently truncate the finalized parquet.
+
+So `--interactive=true` now supports `--strategy.type=sentry`:
+
+- **Finalization moved to `teardown()`** (which already called
+  `dataset.finalize()`); `run()` is segment-restartable. Each segment saves
+  complete episodes plus one tail partial episode; on a failed tail save the
+  in-flight streaming encode is cancelled *and* the half-mutated episode
+  buffer is discarded (see §6, round 2).
+- **Frames are labeled with the live `engine.task`** instead of a config
+  snapshot — the writer already stores a task per frame — so `/subtask`
+  changes the policy conditioning and the recorded label from the same frame
+  onward. This also resolved the "recorded frames ignore `/subtask`" open item
+  for sentry.
+- `episodes_since_push` hoisted to instance state so upload cadence survives
+  segments.
+- dagger / highlight / episodic stay excluded: keyboard conflicts plus per-run
+  recording state that does not survive a restart.
+
+### 5.3 Muting v2 — two lines, and errors surface
+
+The ~30-line per-handler walk became `logging.disable(logging.WARNING)` with
+the previous disable level restored afterwards. Strictly better coverage: the
+gate applies before handler dispatch, so it covers `propagate=False` library
+loggers *and* loggers created mid-session (the old snapshot missed those) —
+and **ERROR/CRITICAL now reach the console**, which the audit showed is safe:
+no ERROR-level emitter fires periodically in healthy operation (the periodic
+nuisances — slow-loop, camera hiccups — are WARNINGs and stay muted).
+Documented trade-off: the gate also withholds INFO/WARNING from file handlers
+during the session; acceptable because no default code path attaches one
+(only `rl/actor`, `rl/learner`, `async_inference` pass `log_file`). The
+`warnings` suppression stays (nothing calls `logging.captureWarnings`), and
+`failure_traceback` surfacing stays as the belt-and-suspenders for fatal
+engine errors.
+
+### 5.4 stdin listener → `lerobot/utils/stdin_input.py`
+
+The ssh/headless audit confirmed the listener was already the right design:
+`select`+`os.read` works over SSH (the session pty is a normal fd), from
+pipes, and headless — it's `keyboard_input`'s **pynput** backend that needs a
+display server. Nothing in `keyboard_input` overlaps enough to reuse
+(1-byte cbreak hotkey decoding vs canonical-mode line assembly), so
+`StdinCommandListener` moved to a **new** utils module — deliberately not
+into `keyboard_input.py`, which attempts a pynput import at module load.
+Canonical import only: `lerobot.utils.stdin_input` (removed from
+`lerobot.rollout`'s exports).
+
+The move fixed a real bug the audit found: with `sys.stdin is None`
+(daemonized processes), the blocking fallback died with an uncaught
+`AttributeError` without firing `on_eof` — leaving a session idling with no
+command channel. `start()` now treats a missing stream as immediate EOF.
+
+## 6. Bugs the adversarial reviews caught
+
+Four multi-agent review passes were run across the phases (28 / 5 / 27 / 12 agents;
+findings adversarially verified before acting). The ones that mattered:
+
+**Round 2 (2 confirmed, 0 refuted):**
+
+- **Controller `start()` race → phantom segment.** `start()` gated on `_running`, but the
+  serve loop cleared `_start_requested` *before* setting `_running` — a second `start()`
+  landing in that window (spanning `reset_control_state` and the SEGMENT_STARTED emission)
+  returned `True` and re-armed the flag, which nothing consumed during the segment; the
+  robot would start again, uncommanded, when the segment later ended on its own. Fixed:
+  the serve loop consumes the request and sets `_running` atomically under the control
+  lock, and `_running` spans the whole startup sequence.
+- **Sentry poisoned episode buffer.** `save_episode` mutates the buffer in place (pops
+  `size`/`task`) *before* the fallible writes; a failed tail save left a half-mutated dict
+  and the next segment's first `add_frame` crashed with `KeyError('size')`. Fixed: the
+  except branch discards the buffer so `add_frame` recreates it.
+
+**Rounds 1–3 (Phases 1–2):**
+
+- **RTC stale observation (critical).** `RTCInferenceEngine.reset()` never cleared
+  `_obs_holder["obs"]`. After `/reset` physically moved the robot home, the next `/start`
+  computed its first chunk from the **pre-reset pose** — a lurch back toward where the arm
+  used to be. Fixed by clearing the observation and adding a `_reset_epoch` counter so an
+  in-flight chunk computed across a reset is discarded rather than merged. This also fixes a
+  pre-existing DAgger staleness path.
+- **Muting hid fatal errors** → `failure_traceback` capture + session print (§4.7).
+- **Muting scope too narrow** → root-only missed `transformers` / `datasets`; `warnings`
+  output bypassed logging entirely.
+- **Command ordering** → `/reset` and `/stop` didn't cancel a pending `/start` (§4.5); the
+  `/reset`-then-`/subtask` clobber (§4.8).
+- **Flush too heavy** → `policy.reset()` → `drop_queued_actions()` (§4.8).
+- **Empty-task rendering** → `''` replaced with `(none — set one with /subtask <text>)`.
+- **Silent switch** → the confirmation now says "(applies from the next policy inference)",
+  since the explanatory logs are muted.
+
+## 7. Verification
+
+After Round 2:
+
+```
+uv run --extra dataset pytest tests/test_interactive_rollout.py \
+    tests/utils/test_stdin_input.py tests/test_rollout.py -q
+    → 81 passed
+
+pre-commit (all changed files)
+    → 0 failures
+```
+
+Phase 1–2 numbers (still green at the time): 64 rollout/interactive tests;
+223 passed / 5 skipped across `tests/policies/rtc`, factory, and common
+(confirming the shared `pretrained.py` change); pre-commit 0 failures.
+
+`tests/test_interactive_rollout.py` covers the parser, `LinkedEvent` semantics,
+`RolloutController` (start/reset/stop/set_task flows, events, startup-race
+rejection, failure surfacing, broken observers), session flows (start / reset /
+restart / stop, cancel-pending-start, engine failure with traceback, natural
+end, EOF, and a real `BaseStrategy` end-to-end), muting (INFO/WARNING blocked,
+ERROR surfaces, pre-existing disable level restored), `/subtask` semantics,
+sentry restartability + live labels + failed-tail-save recovery, the engine
+task holder, the sync flush, and `drop_queued_actions`.
+`tests/utils/test_stdin_input.py` covers the listener (select path, batched
+lines, blocking fallback, EOF, handler errors, None-stdin, broken streams).
+
+## 8. Extension points for Phase 3
+
+The design was built to make `/ask` an additive change:
+
+- **Command table.** `InteractiveSession._commands` is `name → (handler, arg hint, help)`.
+  `/help` and the startup banner render from it, so a new command is documented for free.
+- **Controller API.** New front-ends (network, voice, `/ask`'s LLM worker) call
+  `RolloutController.start/reset/stop/set_task` from their own threads — the internal lock
+  makes that safe — and observe `RolloutEvent`s instead of scraping terminal output.
+- **Thread discipline.** A command handler runs on the listener thread and must only call
+  controller methods. An LLM call belongs on its own worker thread so the robot keeps
+  moving — precisely the concurrency `/ask` is meant to demonstrate.
+- **Task holder.** `set_task` / `_take_task` already give any producer a safe way to
+  re-instruct the policy. Hierarchical task-vs-subtask semantics (per #4183 / #4234) layer
+  on top of it rather than replacing it.
+
+Open items, deliberately not addressed:
+
+- dagger / highlight / episodic remain non-interactive (keyboard conflicts + per-run
+  recording state); they also still snapshot the task label per run. Sentry is the
+  supported recording path for interactive sessions.
+- The "see logs and prompt simultaneously" TUI (pinned input line).
+- Non-stdin input sources (network, voice) — now unblocked by `RolloutController`; #4108's
+  pluggable-listener shape remains the reference for the transport layer.

-A teleoperator produces actions for a robot to follow — a leader arm, a gamepad, a keyboard, a phone. All of
-them implement the [`Teleoperator`] interface, so a recording script written against it works with any input
-device.

-The `dataloading_s` vs. `update_s` ratio is the diagnostic that matters: when `dataloading_s` approaches `update_s`, more GPUs stop helping — your dataloader is the bottleneck and you should look at `--num_workers`, image resolution, and disk speed before adding compute.
+Training logs separate the full iteration into `dataloading_s` (`next(dl_iter)`), `preprocessing_s`
+(image conversion and the policy pipeline), and `update_s` (the optimizer update). `step_s` covers all
+three and drives `samples_per_s`. The benchmark above predates this split, so its `dataloading_s` includes
+preprocessing.

+## Interactive Sessions
+
+Add `--interactive=true` to drive the rollout from the terminal instead of starting immediately. Hardware connects and the policy loads as usual, but **the robot stays still until you type `/start`** — useful when you want to position the scene first, re-instruct the policy between attempts, or run several takes without paying the load time again.

+
+`Ctrl-C` still shuts down as usual, and closing stdin (`Ctrl-D`, or the end of a piped script) ends the session — so a piped script must keep stdin open for the intended duration:
+
+```bash
+(printf '/start\n'; sleep 60; printf '/stop\n') | lerobot-rollout ... --interactive=true
+```
+
+**How `/subtask` reaches the policy.** The stdin reader publishes the new instruction to the inference engine, which picks it up on its own inference thread, so nothing is mutated across threads while the robot is moving. How quickly the behavior changes depends on the backend:
+
+- **Sync** (`--inference.type=sync`) — precomputed chunk actions are dropped, so the new instruction applies on the very next control tick. Without this a chunking policy would keep executing up to `chunk_size` stale actions (seconds of the old behavior). Only the queued actions are discarded, so observation history and the rest of the episode state are preserved.
+- **RTC** (`--inference.type=rtc`) — the next chunk is generated under the new instruction and merged over the previous chunk's leftover prefix, so the switch lands within one inference and the motion stays continuous. The queue is deliberately not cleared: that would leave the robot without commands for a full inference latency. (With blending turned off via `--inference.rtc.enabled=false` the queued chunk drains first, so the switch lands up to one chunk later.)
+
+With `--use_torch_compile=true`, a switch whose instruction tokenizes to a different length can trigger a recompilation on the next forward pass, pausing inference for as long as the original warm-up took. Prefer leaving compilation off for sessions where you expect to re-instruct the policy often.
+
+**Logs below ERROR are muted while the session runs** so routine output doesn't interleave with what you're typing; errors and fatal inference failures still show, and normal logging resumes when the session ends. The gate is process-wide (it also withholds INFO/WARNING from any file handler you attached for the duration). Run without `--interactive` to watch the live log.
+
+Sessions work over SSH and on headless machines — the command reader uses the terminal (or pipe) directly and needs no display server.
+
+**Recording while interactive.** `--strategy.type=sentry` also supports `--interactive=true`: the session records continuously while you steer it. Each `/start`…`/reset` segment saves complete episodes plus one final partial episode, the dataset stays open until shutdown, and **frames are labeled with the live task** — a `/subtask` changes both the policy conditioning and the recorded label from the same frame onwards.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=sentry \
+    --policy.path=${HF_USER}/my_smolvla_policy \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/rollout_cube_sessions \
+    --task="pick up the cube" \
+    --interactive=true
+```
+
+The other recording strategies (episodic, DAgger, highlight) are not supported: they bind their own keyboard controls, which would compete with the command prompt for the same terminal.
+
+### Programmatic control
+
+Everything the CLI session does is available as a library API: `RolloutController` exposes thread-safe `start()` / `reset()` / `stop()` / `set_task()` methods plus a `RolloutEvent` callback, with no stdin, printing, or log muting attached — embed it in your own application, network server, or notebook:
+
+```python
+from threading import Event, Thread
+
+from lerobot.rollout import (
+    LinkedEvent,
+    RolloutController,
+    RolloutEvent,
+    build_rollout_context,
+    create_strategy,
+)
+
+parent = Event()  # your application's shutdown signal
+ctx = build_rollout_context(cfg, LinkedEvent(parent))  # loads policy, connects robot
+strategy = create_strategy(cfg.strategy)
+strategy.setup(ctx)
+
+controller = RolloutController(strategy, ctx, on_event=print)  # or your own observer
+serve_thread = Thread(target=controller.serve)  # serve() blocks; run it where you like
+serve_thread.start()
+
+controller.start()                        # robot starts executing the policy
+controller.set_task("grab the red cube")  # re-instruct mid-run
+controller.reset()                        # stop movement, return home, stay warm
+controller.stop()                         # end serve()
+
+serve_thread.join()
+strategy.teardown(ctx)  # teardown stays with the caller
+```
+
+Set `play_sounds=False` in the config unless you want the vocal announcements, and note that `build_rollout_context` requires the shutdown event to be a `LinkedEvent` (the controller ends run segments through its local flag; your `parent` event still forces a full shutdown). `InteractiveSession` itself is a thin front-end over this controller — commands map 1:1 onto its methods.

+Recording, resuming, and merging aggregate quantiles from per-episode summaries, so `meta/stats.json` ends up holding a conservative envelope (`min` for `q <= 50`, `max` for `q > 50`) rather than whole-dataset quantiles. To estimate the latter, scan every episode with a running histogram:
+
+```bash
+python src/lerobot/scripts/augment_dataset_quantile_stats.py \

+
+`--skip-images` keeps the existing image statistics and avoids video decoding when only `STATE`/`ACTION` need recomputing, and `--root` reads a local dataset instead of the Hub. These values are histogram estimates, subject to discretization and rebinning error, so they can differ from the conservative ones — which changes MolmoAct2's normalized targets and therefore its loss scale. Statistics already saved inside an existing checkpoint are not affected.

+OpenPI maintains an exponential moving average of the weights during training (`ema_decay=0.99` by default) and keeps the EMA copy for inference. To reproduce this with the LeRobot trainer, enable the EMA shadow with a constant decay:

-# Writing docstrings
-
-LeRobot's API reference is generated directly from the docstrings in `src/lerobot/`. A docstring is not a
-comment — it is the published documentation for that object, and the format below is what the renderer and
-the CI checks parse.
-
-This page is the contract. If you are adding or editing anything public in `src/lerobot/`, follow it.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **An undocumented public method is an invisible one.** `[[autodoc]]` silently skips members that have no
-> docstring — no warning, no error, it simply does not appear on the rendered page. Coverage and
-> API-reference completeness are the same problem.
-
-## The format in one example
-
-Google section headers, Hugging Face type formatting. Both, not one or the other.
-
-````python
-def send_action(self, action: RobotAction, rate_hz: float = 30.0) -> RobotAction:
-    """Command the robot to move to a target joint configuration.
-
-    Values are clipped by the configured maximum relative target before reaching the motors, so the
-    returned action may differ from the requested one.
-
-    Args:
-        action (`dict[str, float]`):
-            Target values keyed by motor name, e.g. `{"shoulder_pan.pos": 0.0}`. Keys must match the
-            robot's action features.
-        rate_hz (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `30.0`):
-            Control loop frequency.
-
-    Returns:
-        `dict[str, float]`: The action actually written to the motors after safety clipping.
-
-    Raises:
-        DeviceNotConnectedError: If the robot has not been connected.
-
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> from lerobot.robots.so_follower import SO101Follower, SO101FollowerConfig
-        >>> robot = SO101Follower(SO101FollowerConfig(port="/dev/ttyACM0"))  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> robot.connect()  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> robot.send_action({"shoulder_pan.pos": 0.0})  # doctest: +SKIP
-        ```
-    """
-````
-
-Cross-references are omitted from the examples on this page — see [Cross-references](#cross-references) for
-their syntax and why they cannot be shown inside a code block.
-
-## Rules
-
-### Sections
-
-`Args:` · `Returns:` · `Raises:` · `Yields:` · `Example:` · `Note:`
-
-In that order. No other section headers. A one-line summary comes first, then an optional free-form
-description, then the sections.
-
-### The `Args:` line is machine-parsed
-
-```
-name (`type`, *optional*, defaults to `X`):
-    Description, indented on its own line.
-```
-
-The `*optional*, defaults to` clause is **checked against the real signature default** by
-`make check-docstrings`. It is not decorative — if you write a default that has drifted from the code, CI
-fails. Omit the clause entirely for required parameters:
-
-```python
-    Args:
-        port (`str`):
-            Serial port the arm is connected to, e.g. `/dev/ttyACM0`.
-        max_relative_target (`float | dict[str, float]`, *optional*):
-            Caps the magnitude of the relative positional target vector. `None` disables clipping.
-        use_degrees (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
-            Keep `True` for backward compatibility with existing policies and datasets.
-```
-
-Types go in backticks. Use `*optional*` with no `defaults to` when the default is `None` or is otherwise not
-worth restating.
-
-### `Returns:` is type-first
-
-One indented line, type first, then a colon, then the description:
-
-```python
-    Returns:
-        `dict[str, float]`: The action actually written to the motors after safety clipping.
-```
-
-`Yields:` takes the same shape.
-
-### `**Attributes**:`, never `Attributes:`
-
-doc-builder parses a bare `Attributes:` as a **synonym for `Parameters:`**, so your attributes get rendered
-as constructor arguments. This is silent and wrong. Whenever the attributes differ from the constructor
-parameters, use the bold form with a `--` separator:
-
-```python
-class Robot(abc.ABC):
-    """The base abstract class for all LeRobot-compatible robots.
-
-    **Attributes**:
-        - **config_class** (`type[RobotConfig]`) -- The expected configuration class for this robot.
-        - **name** (`str`) -- The unique robot name used to identify this robot type.
-    """
-```
-
-Note `--`, not `:`.
-
-### Cross-references
-
-Use doc-builder's bracket syntax: a square-bracketed backtick-quoted path. **Sphinx roles (`:pymeth:`,
-`:pyattr:`) are not supported** and render as literal text on the page.
-
-| Want                         | Write                               |
-| ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
-| Class in the main package    | [`Robot`]                   |
-| Method, show the full path   | [`Robot.connect`]           |
-| Method, show the bare name   | [`~Robot.connect`]          |
-| Nested path                  | [`~robots.Robot.connect`]   |
-| Object in another HF library | [`~accelerate.Accelerator`] |
-
-The `~` strips the path from the **link text only**; the link still resolves to the full path.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> doc-builder resolves this syntax everywhere in a page — including inside fenced code blocks. That is why
-> the docstring examples on this page use plain prose instead of cross-references: a code block containing
-> one would render the resolved link rather than the syntax you need to type. In your own docstrings, use
-> cross-references freely; this restriction only affects documentation _about_ the syntax.
-
-### Callouts
-
-Use GitHub-style blockquotes:
-
-```markdown
-> [!TIP]
-> Call this once at startup — it takes about two seconds.
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> Torque is disabled on disconnect. The arm will drop if it is holding a load.
-```
-
-The `<Tip>` component is legacy per doc-builder; don't add new ones.
-
-### Examples must be fenced
-
-An example lives inside a fenced ` ```python ` block containing `>>> `. The fence is what makes it render
-as a code block, and it is what the doctest preprocessor's regex looks for:
-
-````python
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> from lerobot.robots.so_follower import SO101FollowerConfig
-        >>> cfg = SO101FollowerConfig(port="/dev/ttyACM0")
-        >>> cfg.use_degrees
-        True
-        ```
-````
-
-> [!WARNING]
-> An unfenced `>>>` is still collected — doctest finds prompts anywhere in a docstring. What you lose is the
-> rendering, so it shows up as a wall of prose on the page. Every example needs the fence.
-
-Every example either executes in CI or carries `# doctest: +SKIP`. Anything that touches hardware, a GPU, or
-downloads from the Hub gets `+SKIP`:
-
-````python
-    Example:
-        ```python
-        >>> robot.connect()  # doctest: +SKIP
-        >>> policy = ACTPolicy.from_pretrained("lerobot/act_aloha_sim_transfer_cube_human")  # doctest: +SKIP
-        ```
-````
-
-Add files containing runnable examples to `utils/documentation_tests.txt`.
-
-Put examples on the three to five genuine entry points of a module. Examples on trivial accessors are noise.
-
-## Three patterns you will hit constantly
-
-### Config dataclasses
-
-Configuration fields are historically documented with `#` comments above each field. **doc-builder cannot
-see inline comments** — such a class renders with every field listed and not a single description. Move them
-into an `Args:` block on the class docstring:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class SOFollowerConfig:
-    """Configuration for SO-family follower arms.
-
-    Args:
-        port (`str`):
-            Serial port the arm is connected to, e.g. `/dev/ttyACM0`.
-        max_relative_target (`float | dict[str, float]`, *optional*):
-            Caps the magnitude of the relative positional target vector. A scalar applies to all motors;
-            a dict maps motor name to a per-motor cap. `None` disables clipping.
-        use_degrees (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
-            Keep `True` for backward compatibility with existing policies and datasets.
-    """
-
-    port: str
-    max_relative_target: float | dict[str, float] | None = None
-    use_degrees: bool = True
-```
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **doc-builder does not inherit docstrings from base classes.** LeRobot's registered config classes are
-> often thin multiple-inheritance shims:
->
-> ```python
-> @RobotConfig.register_subclass("so101_follower")
-> @dataclass
-> class SOFollowerRobotConfig(RobotConfig, SOFollowerConfig):
->     pass
-> ```
->
-> That class renders **every** field — including the ones it inherits — with no descriptions at all, no
-> matter how well the bases are documented. The `Args:` block must live on the concrete class that
-> `[[autodoc]]` names, and it must cover inherited fields too.
-
-### Base class, then concrete subclass
-
-The abstract base carries the canonical contract. Subclasses document only what deviates — port semantics,
-calibration quirks, motor layout, supported feature keys. Do not copy the base contract into every subclass.
-
-`Robot`, `Teleoperator`, `Camera`, `MotorsBus`, `ProcessorStep`, and `PreTrainedPolicy` all follow this
-shape.
-
-### Module-level aliases
-
-Several public names are aliases rather than distinct classes:
-
-```python
-SO100FollowerConfig = SOFollowerRobotConfig
-SO101FollowerConfig = SOFollowerRobotConfig
-```
-
-`[[autodoc]]` resolves the alias and renders the **canonical** class name, so a `## SO101FollowerConfig`
-heading will show `class lerobot.robots.so_follower.SOFollowerRobotConfig` in the body. Document the
-canonical class once, and mention the aliases in the page's prose rather than giving each alias its own
-autodoc block.
-
-## What not to document
-
-- **Private members.** Anything starting with `_` is not part of the public API.
-- **The type annotation restated as prose.** `port (`str`): A string.` adds nothing. Say what it is for.
-- **Vendored upstream code.** `src/lerobot/policies/molmoact2/molmoact2_hf_model/` is vendored from
-  `transformers` and already carries upstream-style docstrings. Leave it alone — restyling it only creates
-  conflicts on the next sync. It is excluded from the API reference and from the docstring checks.
-
-## How this is enforced
-
-| Check                     | What it catches                                                                                            |
-| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `make check-docstrings`   | An `Args:` entry that doesn't match the signature; a documented default that has drifted from the real one |
-| `make doctest`            | Examples that no longer run                                                                                |
-| `make check-doctest-list` | Stale or unsorted entries in `utils/documentation_tests.txt`                                               |
-| `ruff` (`D` rules)        | Google-convention style violations                                                                         |
-| `interrogate`             | Docstring coverage falling below the current threshold                                                     |
-| doc-builder               | A `[[autodoc]]` path that points at something that doesn't exist — this breaks the docs build              |
-
-Run them together before opening a PR:
-
-```bash
-make check-docstrings && make doctest && pre-commit run --all-files
-```
-
-Then render the page and actually look at it:
-
-```bash
-doc-builder build lerobot docs/source/ --build_dir /tmp/doc-build
-```
-
-## Checklist
-
-- [ ] Every public member you touched has a docstring.
-- [ ] Every `Args:` entry matches the signature, including the `*optional*, defaults to` clause.
-- [ ] `Returns:` is type-first on one indented line.
-- [ ] No bare `Attributes:` — use `**Attributes**:` with `--` separators.
-- [ ] No Sphinx roles — cross-references use &#91;`~module.Class.method`&#93;.
-- [ ] Examples are inside a fenced ` ```python ` block, and either run in CI or carry `# doctest: +SKIP`.
-- [ ] Config dataclass fields are in an `Args:` block on the concrete class, not `#` comments.
-- [ ] The rendered page has been eyeballed.

-        tune_top_llm_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 0): Number of top LLM backbone layers to
-            fine-tune (0 means none). Lets you adapt just the final language layers without unfreezing
-            the whole backbone; independent of `tune_llm`, which tunes the entire LLM.
-        num_inference_timesteps (`int | None`, *optional*): Number of flow-matching denoising steps used

-            when the RTC engine supplies a previous-chunk prefix. `None` keeps the checkpoint value
-            (GR00T N1.7 default: 6.0).
-        use_flash_attention (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`): Whether to request the
-            flash-attention-2 kernel for the Qwen3-VL backbone. Set to `True` only after installing a
-            flash-attn build matching your torch/CUDA environment; otherwise the backbone falls back to
-            SDPA, which is numerically equivalent.
-        use_relative_actions (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`): Whether to enable GR00T-style
-            state-relative action chunks (the action chunk is expressed relative to the current

-        relative_exclude_joints (`list[str]`, *optional*): Action dimensions that stay absolute when
-            `use_relative_actions` is set; matched as a case-insensitive substring against the dataset's
-            action feature names. With the empty default every dimension is treated as relative,
-            including the gripper; set e.g. `["gripper"]` to keep the gripper absolute.
-        optimizer_lr (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0001): Learning rate for the AdamW optimizer.
-        optimizer_betas (`tuple[float, float]`, *optional*, defaults to `(0.9, 0.999)`): AdamW betas, as

-            passes under BF16 autocast.
-        model_params_fp32 (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`): Whether to keep model parameters in
-            FP32 while computing under BF16 autocast, matching the native N1.7 fine-tuning recipe.
-        image_size (`tuple[int, int]`, *optional*, defaults to `(256, 256)`): Legacy field kept only so
-            that a GR00T N1.5-era `image_size=(224, 224)` config is detected and remapped to the N1.7
-            default in `__post_init__`; image sizing is otherwise handled by the backbone's image
-            processor.
-        tokenizer_assets_repo (`str | None`, *optional*): Deprecated GR00T N1.5 field. Must stay `None`;
-            a non-`None` value is treated as an N1.5 checkpoint/config and rejected in `__post_init__`.
-        lora_rank (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 0): Deprecated, never-wired LoRA field kept only so
-            older saved configs still parse.

+            trajectory values (this is the λ coefficient in eqn 4 of FOWM).
+        n_elites: The number of elite samples to use for updating the gaussian parameters every CEM iteration.
+        elite_weighting_temperature: The temperature to use for softmax weighting (by trajectory value) of the
+            elites, when updating the gaussian parameters for CEM.
+        gaussian_mean_momentum: Momentum (α) used for EMA updates of the mean parameter μ of the gaussian
+            parameters optimized in CEM. Updates are calculated as μ⁻ ← αμ⁻ + (1-α)μ.
+        max_random_shift_ratio: Maximum random shift (as a proportion of the image size) to apply to the
+            image(s) (in units of pixels) for training-time augmentation. If set to 0, no such augmentation
+            is applied. Note that the input images are assumed to be square for this augmentation.
+        reward_coeff: Loss weighting coefficient for the reward regression loss.
+        expectile_weight: Weighting (τ) used in expectile regression for the state value function (V).
+            v_pred < v_target is weighted by τ and v_pred >= v_target is weighted by (1-τ). τ is expected to
+            be in [0, 1]. Setting τ closer to 1 results in a more "optimistic" V. This is sensible to do
+            because v_target is obtained by evaluating the learned state-action value functions (Q) with
+            in-sample actions that may not be always optimal.
+        value_coeff: Loss weighting coefficient for both the state-action value (Q) TD loss, and the state
+            value (V) expectile regression loss.
+        consistency_coeff: Loss weighting coefficient for the consistency loss.
+        advantage_scaling: A factor by which the advantages are scaled prior to exponentiation for advantage
+            weighted regression of the policy (π) estimator parameters. Note that the exponentiated advantages
+            are clamped at 100.0.
+        pi_coeff: Loss weighting coefficient for the action regression loss.
+        temporal_decay_coeff: Exponential decay coefficient for decaying the loss coefficient for future time-
+            steps. Hint: each loss computation involves `horizon` steps worth of actions starting from the
+            current time step.
+        target_model_momentum: Momentum (α) used for EMA updates of the target models. Updates are calculated
+            as ϕ ← αϕ + (1-α)θ where ϕ are the parameters of the target model and θ are the parameters of the
+            model being trained.
