refactor(rtc): share Pi05 training helpers

Extend trained RTC conditioning and postfix-only flow loss to plain PI05 so single-task checkpoints can use the same real-time chunking path as PI052.

 ## Notes
 
 - **Mypy is gradual**: strict only for `lerobot.envs`, `lerobot.configs`, `lerobot.optim`, `lerobot.model`, `lerobot.cameras`, `lerobot.motors`, `lerobot.transport`. Add type annotations when modifying these modules.
-- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`). New imports for optional packages must be guarded or lazy. See `pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies]`.
+- **Imports**: prefer top-level imports; relative (`from .sibling import X`) across sibling files within a module, absolute (`from lerobot.module import X`) across modules.
+- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`, see `pyproject.toml`). Guard optional imports with `TYPE_CHECKING or _foo_available` at module top + a `require_package(...)` check at use time. Reuse the `_foo_available` flags in `utils/import_utils.py`; don't call `is_package_available`.
 - **Video decoding**: datasets can store observations as video files. `LeRobotDataset` handles frame extraction, but tests need ffmpeg installed.
 - **Prioritize use of `uv run`** to execute Python commands (not raw `python` or `pip`).

+## What your report must include
+
+We receive a high volume of reports. To be triaged, a report **must** follow the structure below. Copy this block into your submission and fill in every field. Reports missing the version, the proof of concept, or the impact are returned as incomplete and are not investigated until provided.
+
+```markdown
+### Summary
+
+One sentence: what the vulnerability is and where.
+
+### Affected version / commit
+
+Exact released version or commit SHA you reproduced on (e.g. v4.57.0 / a1b2c3d).
+Not "latest" or "main".
+
+### Affected component
+
+The public API, module, or entry point involved (e.g. `AutoModel.from_pretrained`).
+
+### Vulnerability class
+
+Type and CWE if known (e.g. deserialization / CWE-502, path traversal / CWE-22).
+
+### Attack vector & preconditions
+
+- How is the vulnerable code reached? (which API call / input / config)
+- Who is the attacker and what do they control?
+- What must be true for the attack to work? (auth, a user action, a non-default
+  setting, a malicious file being loaded, etc.)
+
+### Proof of concept
+
+A minimal, self-contained script or step sequence that runs on a clean install
+of the version above. Include:
+
+- the exact commands / code to run,
+- any input files needed (attach them, or give a script that generates them),
+- the **expected** behavior vs. the **actual** behavior you observed.
+  A snippet showing that a function _exists_ or _could_ be misused is not a PoC.
+
+### Impact
+
+What an attacker gains in a realistic deployment. "Could theoretically…"
+without a working chain is not an impact.
+
+### Scope
+
+Which trust boundary (see below) does this cross? If your finding touches
+anything in the "Out of scope" list, name which item and explain why it is
+nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make.
+
+### Suggested severity (optional)
+
+We assign the final severity. Include a CVSS v3.1 vector only if you have one.
+
+### Suggested fix (optional)
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The bar is a **reproducible PoC against a supported version, with a concrete impact that crosses a trust boundary we actually defend** (see scope below). Reports that are theoretical, auto-generated by a scanner or LLM, or that restate documented behavior will be closed without detailed review.
+
+## Threat model & trust boundaries
+
+`lerobot` is tightly coupled to the Hugging Face Hub for sharing data and pretrained policies. When downloading artifacts uploaded by others, you expose yourself to risks. Please read below for recommendations to keep your runtime and robot environment safe. We _will_ treat as a vulnerability anything that breaks one of these protections — e.g. code executing despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being bypassed.
 
 ### Remote Artefacts (Weights & Policies)
 
-Models and policies uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub come in different formats. We heavily recommend uploading and downloading models in the [`safetensors`](https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors) format.
-
-`safetensors` was developed specifically to prevent arbitrary code execution on your system, which is critical when running software on physical hardware/robots.
-
-To avoid loading models from unsafe formats (e.g., `pickle`), you should ensure you are prioritizing `safetensors` files.

To avoid loading models from unsafe formats (e.g., `pickle`), you should ensure you are prioritizing `safetensors` files.
 
 ### Remote Code
 
-Some models or environments on the Hub may require `trust_remote_code=True` to run custom architecture code.

+## In scope
+
+We treat as vulnerabilities issues in the **published package code** — the library's own API surface — that an attacker can trigger without the victim having opted into a documented risk. For example:
+
+- code execution, memory corruption, or file access reachable through a normal API call on input that is **not** an untrusted model/artifact the user chose to load;
+- a control we advertise being bypassed (e.g. code running despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being ignored);
+- exposure or mishandling of credentials, tokens, or another user's data by the library;
+- a real escape from a backend we document as a sandbox;
+- CI/CD or supply-chain issues in this repository.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+The following are **not** treated as vulnerabilities in `lerobot`. If your finding touches one of these, the report must explain why it is nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make — otherwise it will be closed.
+
+- Issues that require loading an untrusted artifact and amount to the documented load-time risk above (code execution / file access on load of a malicious model, dataset, config, or pickle).
+- Findings in `examples/`, documentation, tests, or other non-packaged reference material.
+- Local denial-of-service from feeding pathological input to a function on your own machine (high memory, slow parse, panic), absent a multi-tenant or remote-service impact.
+- Model behavior: jailbreaks, alignment failures, prompt injection, or harmful generations. Model weights are authored by their uploaders; report these to the model owner.
+- Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies we do not vendor — report upstream (we'll bump once fixed).
+- Theoretical issues without a working proof of concept, and reports auto-generated from scanners or LLMs without a verified, reproducible chain.
+- Best-practice or hardening suggestions with no demonstrated impact — missing email-authentication or transport records (MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, DMARC/SPF tuning), missing HTTP security headers, TLS configuration preferences, and similar scanner or config-checker output presented without a working exploit chain.
+
+## Safe harbor
+
+Good-faith research that respects these guidelines, avoids privacy violations and service disruption, and gives us a reasonable disclosure window will not be pursued by us. Do not access data that isn't yours and do not run tests against Hugging Face production infrastructure.

+## Adding high- and low-level language control
+
+The policy API above is sufficient for training and standard evaluation. To use a language-conditioned policy with interactive `lerobot-rollout`, also register a runtime adapter. The adapter keeps policy-specific prompting and tokenization out of the generic control loop.
+
+The runtime supports two policy shapes:
+
+| Policy shape     | Behavior                                                                | Adapter                                        |
+| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| Low-level / flat | The operator's task or subtask directly conditions action prediction.   | Reuse `DirectTaskPolicyAdapter`.               |
+| High + low level | The policy generates subtasks or memory, then conditions actions on it. | Subclass `BaseLanguageAdapter`, as PI052 does. |
+
+During a rollout, `RuntimeState` stores the high-level task and the active language context:
+
+```text
+task ──> adapter.generate_text("subtask", ...) ──> state.language_context["subtask"]
+                                                       │
+observation ──> processors ──> adapter.select_action() ─┴─> action chunk ──> robot
+```
+
+The generic runtime handles generation frequency, pause/resume, prompt replacement, action queues, and dispatch. The adapter only translates between that runtime contract and your policy.
+
+### Low-level policies
+
+If your policy already consumes the live task through its normal preprocessor and implements `predict_action_chunk`, register the shared direct adapter. PI0.5 and MolmoAct2 use this path:
+
+```python
+# src/lerobot/runtime/registry.py
+_ADAPTERS = {
+    # ...
+    "my_policy": "lerobot.runtime.adapter:DirectTaskPolicyAdapter",
+}
+```
+
+Run it with direct-subtask mode so the operator supplies the instruction used by the action policy:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --language \
+    --policy.path=user/my_policy_checkpoint \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --direct_subtask
+```
+
+The rollout context builds the observation batch with the current instruction before `DirectTaskPolicyAdapter` calls `policy.predict_action_chunk(observation)`. No text-generation method is required.
+
+### Hierarchical policies
+
+For a policy that generates language and actions, subclass [`BaseLanguageAdapter`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/runtime/adapter.py) and implement two methods:
+
+- `generate_text(kind, observation, state, user_text=None) -> str` generates a `subtask`, `memory`, or interjection response.
+- `select_action(observation, state)` builds the low-level prompt from the active context and returns an action chunk.
+
+This abbreviated adapter follows [`PI052PolicyAdapter`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi052/inference/pi052_adapter.py):
+
+```python
+# inference/my_policy_adapter.py

+        self,

+    ) -> str:

+            top_p=self.gen.top_p,
+        )
+

+        self, kind: str, state: RuntimeState, user_text: str | None
+    ) -> list[dict[str, str]]:
+        if kind == "subtask":
+            return [{"role": "user", "content": state.task or ""}]
+        if kind == "memory":
+            return [
+                {"role": "user", "content": state.task or ""},
+                {
+                    "role": "user",
+                    "content": f"Completed subtask: {state.extra.get('prior_subtask', '')}",
+                },
+            ]
+        if kind == "interjection":
+            return [
+                {"role": "user", "content": state.task or ""},
+                {"role": "user", "content": user_text or ""},
+            ]
+        raise ValueError(f"Unsupported text kind: {kind}")
+```
+
+`tokenize_instruction` and `tokenize_messages` are policy-specific helpers. They must reproduce the prompt format used during training; PI052, for example, adds the discretized robot state to its low-level subtask prompt and uses the same PaliGemma formatting for `select_message`.
+
+`BaseLanguageAdapter` provides the default hierarchy: regenerate a subtask at action-chunk boundaries, update memory when the subtask changes, and handle user interjections. Override `_regenerate_context` only if your policy uses a different hierarchy.
+
+Register the adapter with a lazy import so importing LeRobot does not load the model or its optional dependencies:
+
+```python
+# src/lerobot/runtime/registry.py
+_ADAPTERS = {
+    # ...
+    "my_policy": "lerobot.policies.my_policy.inference.my_policy_adapter:MyPolicyAdapter",
+}
+```
+
+The key must match the policy's registered type. Once registered, the same checkpoint works through the shared entry point:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --language \
+    --policy.path=user/my_hierarchical_checkpoint \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --task="put the cup in the sink"
+```
+
+For RoboCasa-compatible policies, replace the robot arguments with `--sim --sim.task=<task>`. Without `--direct_subtask`, the adapter generates the low-level subtask; with it, the operator bypasses high-level generation and supplies each subtask.
+
+### Keep training and deployment aligned
+
+The adapter is intentionally small, but its prompts are part of the model contract:
+
+- Use the same tokenizer, role formatting, special tokens, image ordering, and state encoding as training.
+- Condition `select_action` on `state.language_context["subtask"]`, falling back to `state.task` for direct or not-yet-generated prompts.
+- Return a full action chunk from `select_action`; the runtime handles control-rate dispatch.
+- Keep optional model dependencies inside lazy imports.
+- Test adapter selection, generated-message routing, action-batch construction, and direct-subtask behavior with a lightweight fake policy.
+
+PI052 is the complete in-tree reference: its [processor](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi052/processor_pi052.py) renders the training recipe, its [policy](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi052/modeling_pi052.py) exposes text and action generation, and its [adapter](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi052/inference/pi052_adapter.py) reconstructs those same prompts at deployment.

+## Interactive language control
+
+Language-conditioned policies can expose a high-level text head in addition to
+their action head. Add `--language` to open-prompt one of these policies on a
+real robot. Language-only flags such as `--direct_subtask` select this mode
+automatically.
+
+MolmoAct2 has no high-level planner, so use direct-subtask mode and type each
+next low-level instruction yourself:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/MolmoAct2-SO100_101-LeRobot \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --robot.type=so101_follower \

+    --robot.max_relative_target='{"shoulder_pan":5,"shoulder_lift":5,"elbow_flex":5,"wrist_flex":5,"wrist_roll":5,"gripper":5}'
+```
+
+The robot starts paused. Type a subtask, then use `/resume` and `/pause` to
+control action dispatch. Check the workspace and motion limits before resuming.
+Without `--direct_subtask`, a policy such as PI052 generates its active subtask
+from the high-level `--task` itself.
+
+RoboCasa uses the same runtime and processor path. `--sim` selects it
+automatically, so no robot configuration is needed:
+
+```bash
+MUJOCO_GL=egl lerobot-rollout \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/pi052_robocasa \
+    --sim --sim.task=CloseFridge --sim.split=pretrain \

+    --mode=action --ctrl_hz=20
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:8010` for the live simulator view. Add
+`--sim.direct_subtask` to bypass the language planner and make each typed prompt

+# π₀.₅ with language supervision (Pi052)
+
+Pi052 extends [Pi05](./pi05) with a trainable PaliGemma language head and a
+runtime that alternates language generation with action generation. A single
+checkpoint can predict a low-level subtask, optionally update memory or answer
+visual questions, and condition its flow-matching action expert on that text.
+
+Use Pi05 when you only need task-conditioned actions. Use Pi052 when the policy
+must generate or consume intermediate language during a rollout.
+
+## How Pi052 differs from Pi05
+
+| Capability          | Pi05                                                   | Pi052                                                                             |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Action model        | PaliGemma vision-language prefix + Gemma action expert | Same base architecture                                                            |
+| Language head       | Not trained for runtime generation                     | Re-enabled and trained with text cross-entropy                                    |
+| Action conditioning | Episode task                                           | Active low-level subtask plus normalized robot state                              |
+| Training targets    | Flow-matching actions                                  | Flow actions, recipe-selected text, and optional FAST action tokens               |
+| Dataset requirement | Standard images, state, actions, and task              | The same fields plus language annotations for every language capability you train |
+| Rollout             | Direct task-to-action policy                           | Hierarchical task → subtask → action loop, with optional memory and VQA           |
+
+Pi052 can initialize from a Pi05 checkpoint. The policy architecture remains
+compatible, while Pi052 builds its own processors so recipe labels and FAST
+labels are not silently replaced by the Pi05 processor stack.
+
+## Install
+
+Install LeRobot with the PI dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git
+cd lerobot
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[pi]"
+```
+
+The `pi` extra includes the PaliGemma/FAST dependencies. Install
+`liger-kernel` for the supported fused training kernels; optional FlashRT
+backends also require the Hugging Face `kernels` package and a supported CUDA
+GPU.
+
+## Prepare language-annotated data
+
+Pi052 does not infer supervised subtasks from a normal LeRobot dataset during
+training. The dataset must contain the language targets used by the selected
+recipe in the optional `language_persistent` and `language_events` columns.
+
+At minimum, annotate a continuous `subtask` timeline so each training frame has
+an active low-level instruction. Add `memory`, VQA, interjections, and speech
+annotations only if the recipe trains those capabilities.
+
+The provided recipes are:
+
+| Recipe                                | Required annotations                                                    | Trains                                                             |
+| ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `recipes/subtask.yaml`                | `subtask`                                                               | Subtask prediction and subtask-conditioned actions                 |
+| `recipes/subtask_joint.yaml`          | `subtask`                                                               | Paper-style joint sequence: subtask text and actions in one sample |
+| `recipes/subtask_mem.yaml`            | `subtask`, `memory`                                                     | Subtasks, actions, and memory updates                              |
+| `recipes/subtask_mem_vqa_speech.yaml` | `subtask`, `memory`, `vqa`; interjection/speech rows for those branches | Subtasks, actions, memory, VQA, and spoken replies                 |
+
+The blend recipes factorize training into separate high-level (task → subtask)
+and low-level (subtask → actions) samples, matching how inference decomposes
+π(a|o, subtask)·π(subtask|o, task). `recipes/subtask_joint.yaml` instead uses
+the π0.5 paper's single-sequence layout — the supervised subtask span is
+attended causally and conditions the FAST and flow losses in the same forward.
+Checkpoints trained with the joint recipe must set
+`--policy.joint_subtask_conditioning=true` at inference so the flow prefix
+rebuilds the same layout (task turn with state, then the generated subtask as a
+causal assistant turn); leave it `false` for the blend recipes.
+
+Use `lerobot-annotate` to generate these columns. The repository includes a
+Hugging Face Jobs launcher that you can edit for your source and destination
+datasets. For a local annotation run, first install
+`pip install -e ".[annotations]"`:
+
+```bash
+HF_TOKEN=hf_... uv run python examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py
+```
+
+Before a long training run, inspect several episodes and verify that subtasks
+are temporally correct and cover the full demonstration. See
+[Annotation Pipeline](./annotation_pipeline) for generation and validation, and
+[Language Columns and Recipes](./language_and_recipes) for the schema and
+recipe resolver.
+
+<Tip>
+  If a dataset has no language columns, recipe rendering becomes a no-op and
+  Pi052 falls back to the plain Pi05 prompt path. This is useful for
+  compatibility but does not train the language planner.
+</Tip>
+
+## Train Pi052
+
+This example initializes Pi052 from the native Pi052 initialization checkpoint
+and trains the default subtask-and-memory recipe:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_language_annotated_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi052 \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi052_base \
+    --policy.recipe_path=recipes/subtask_mem.yaml \
+    --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --policy.freeze_vision_encoder=false \
+    --policy.gradient_checkpointing=true \
+    --batch_size=8 \
+    --steps=30000 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/pi052 \
+    --job_name=pi052 \
+    --wandb.enable=true
+```
+
+For subtask-only data, change the recipe to `recipes/subtask.yaml` and disable
+memory during rollout. Start with a small run and confirm that W&B examples show
+the expected prompt, text target, and action endpoints before scaling up.

+| `policy.flow_num_repeats`           |                        `5` | Reuses one VLM prefix for independent denoising targets             |
+| `policy.rtc_training_max_delay`     |                        `0` | Maximum clean-prefix delay; `0` disables training-time RTC          |
+| `policy.lm_head_lr_scale`           |                      `1.0` | Scales language-head learning rate; `1.0` uses the base rate        |
+| `policy.fast_skip_tokens`           |                     `1152` | FAST id offset; skips `<seg>`+`<loc>` so VQA and FAST never collide |
+| `policy.joint_subtask_conditioning` |                    `false` | Rebuilds the joint-sequence prefix at inference (see recipes)       |
+
+`fast_skip_tokens=1152` places FAST codes below PaliGemma's `<loc>` range.
+openpi's pi0-FAST convention is `128` (FAST occupies the `<loc>` ids); use that
+value only to stay weight-compatible with checkpoints trained that way, and
+avoid combining it with the VQA recipe, whose `<loc>` targets would share
+embedding rows with FAST codes.
+
+The loss weights are starting points, not dataset-independent constants. Track
+flow loss and text/FAST losses separately, and inspect generated subtasks rather
+than selecting a checkpoint from total loss alone.
+
+### Training-time RTC
+
+Pi052 optionally supports training-time action conditioning from
+[Training-Time Action Conditioning for Efficient Real-Time Chunking](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.05964).
+It simulates inference latency by sampling a clean action prefix for every flow
+draw, passing a per-action flow timestep to the action expert, and computing the
+flow loss only on the remaining postfix. The default value of `0` leaves the
+standard Pi052 objective unchanged.
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    --dataset.repo_id=${HF_USER}/my_language_annotated_dataset \
+    --policy.type=pi052 \
+    --policy.pretrained_path=lerobot/pi05_base \
+    --policy.recipe_path=recipes/subtask_mem.yaml \
+    --policy.rtc_training_max_delay=10 \
+    --policy.dtype=bfloat16 \
+    --policy.device=cuda \
+    --batch_size=8 \
+    --steps=30000 \
+    --output_dir=outputs/pi052_rtc \
+    --job_name=pi052_rtc
+```
+
+`rtc_training_max_delay` is measured in controller steps and must be smaller
+than `chunk_size`. Choose it to cover the largest inference latency expected at
+deployment: at 50 Hz, for example, 10 steps correspond to 200 ms. A delay of
+zero is included in the uniform sampling distribution, so the checkpoint also
+continues to receive ordinary flow-matching examples. Set rollout's
+`inference.rtc.execution_horizon` and `inference.queue_threshold` to at least
+this maximum so inference starts early enough and the previous chunk retains
+every action needed for the committed prefix.
+
+Run the resulting checkpoint with the asynchronous `lerobot-rollout` backend
+and select the trained-prefix path explicitly:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-rollout \
+    --strategy.type=base \
+    --policy.path=outputs/pi052_rtc/checkpoints/last/pretrained_model \
+    --inference.type=rtc \
+    --inference.rtc.mode=trained \
+    --inference.rtc.execution_horizon=10 \
+    --robot.type=so100_follower \
+    --robot.port=/dev/ttyACM0 \
+    --task="pick up the cube" \
+    --fps=50 \
+    --device=cuda
+```
+
+The rollout engine measures latency continuously, carries the still-unexecuted
+actions from the previous chunk into the next prediction, and discards the
+prefix that elapsed during inference. If the measured delay exceeds the
+checkpoint's `rtc_training_max_delay`, rollout stops with an explicit error
+instead of silently extrapolating beyond the training distribution. Use
+`--inference.rtc.mode=guided` for the original Jacobian-guided RTC path; it does
+not require a training-time RTC checkpoint but adds backward-pass work during
+denoising.
+
+### Dataset-specific FAST tokenizer
+
+The universal FAST tokenizer works out of the box. For a large or
+embodiment-specific dataset, Pi052 can fit and cache a tokenizer on normalized
+actions before training:
+
+```bash
+lerobot-train \
+    ... \
+    --policy.auto_fit_fast_tokenizer=true \
+    --policy.fast_tokenizer_fit_samples=4096
+```
+
+The fit runs once per dataset/tokenizer configuration. Keep
+`auto_fit_fast_tokenizer=false` when you do not want the extra preprocessing
+pass.
+
+## Training performance
+
+Pi052 uses optimized training paths by default:
+
+- batches repeated flow targets and suffix projections instead of replaying
+  small operations in Python;
+- caches constant action masks and computes RoPE positions once per forward;
+- selects the text/FAST cross-entropy implementation from target shape and
+  sparsity;
+- skips the mathematically dead VLM/vision backward on knowledge-insulated,
+  flow-only batches;
+- uses native non-reentrant SigLIP layer checkpointing when gradient
+  checkpointing is enabled; and
+- retains the Liger RoPE/GeGLU kernels while avoiding the slower LayerNorm
+  patch at SigLIP shapes.
+
+Optional training backends are disabled by default:
+
+| Option                                 | When to try it                                                                                    |
+| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `policy.use_flashrt_adarms=true`       | Fused adaptive RMSNorm and gated residuals on supported CUDA GPUs                                 |
+| `policy.use_compiled_text_ce=true`     | Compiled materialized-logit CE buckets                                                            |
+| `policy.use_compiled_vision=true`      | Compiled vision only when the vision pass has no gradients                                        |
+| `policy.use_flex_attention=true`       | Profiled CUDA setups with knowledge insulation and `flow_num_repeats > 1`; otherwise SDPA is used |
+| `policy.use_manual_attention=true`     | Explicitly profiled shapes where materialized attention is faster                                 |
+| `policy.manual_attention_scope=action` | Restricts manual attention to action queries                                                      |
+
+Do not enable every backend blindly. Flex and manual attention are mutually
+exclusive, and attention/AdaRMS alternatives require knowledge insulation.
+The benchmark-best configuration used compiled text CE and FlashRT AdaRMS,
+with Flex/manual attention and compiled vision disabled.
+
+### Reported training benchmarks
+
+These benchmarks measure complete optimizer steps with three real camera
+inputs, BF16 transformer/action execution, FP32 vision, fused AdamW, and no
+video decoding or network I/O. Results vary with GPU, batch shape, annotation
+mixture, and checkpointing:
+
+| Workload                   |     RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell |                 A100 80 GB |
+| -------------------------- | -------------------------: | -------------------------: |
+| Full flow + text, batch 1  | 4.75× vs checkpointing off | 3.33× vs checkpointing off |
+| Full flow + text, batch 8  | 2.16× vs checkpointing off | 1.66× vs checkpointing off |
+| Full flow + text, batch 64 |  1.24× vs checkpointing on |  1.15× vs checkpointing on |
+| Flow-only, batch 1         | 3.70× vs checkpointing off | 3.58× vs checkpointing off |
+| Flow-only, batch 64        |  3.76× vs checkpointing on |  3.61× vs checkpointing on |
+
+On those 80 GB GPUs, full training was fastest without gradient checkpointing
+through batch 8, then required checkpointing at batch 16 and above. Treat that
+as a tuning rule to test on your hardware, not a universal threshold. Flow-only
+means both text and FAST supervision are disabled; it is useful for action-only
+ablation or post-training but does not learn the language runtime.
+
+## Inference performance
+
+Pi052 has two inference loops, and both avoid repeatedly encoding the expensive
+multimodal prefix:
+
+1. **Action denoising** encodes the image/language prefix once, reuses its KV
+   cache across flow steps, precomputes the timestep schedule on-device, and
+   crops temporary suffix K/V instead of cloning the prefix cache.
+2. **Language decoding** uses autoregressive KV caching, so each new token only
+   processes the sampled token against cached image/language keys instead of
+   rerunning the full prefix.
+
+The runtime also runs language and actions at different rates. Increase
+`--subtask_chunks_per_gen` when a subtask remains valid across several action
+chunks, lower `--high_level_hz`, or use `--direct_subtask` to bypass language
+generation entirely. These settings reduce compute but also slow replanning.
+
+`--fp8` enables the optional FlashRT inference MLP swap on supported CUDA GPUs.
+It calibrates on the first observation and falls back to BF16 when unavailable;
+because FP8 can change outputs slightly, validate task success before using it
+for production rollouts.
+
+## Run a checkpoint
+
+RoboCasa:
+
+```bash
+MUJOCO_GL=egl lerobot-rollout \
+    --policy.path=lerobot/pi052_robocasa \
+    --sim --sim.task=CloseFridge --sim.split=pretrain \
+    --task="close the fridge" \
+    --disable_memory \
+    --sim.render_size=384 \
+    --sim.views=robot0_agentview_left,robot0_eye_in_hand,robot0_agentview_right \
+    --mode=action --ctrl_hz=20
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:8010` for the live view. Without
+`--sim.direct_subtask`, Pi052 generates the low-level subtask; with it, each
+prompt becomes the action policy's subtask directly.
+
+The same runtime supports real robots. See [Interactive language
+control](./inference#interactive-language-control) for the real-arm command,
+safety behavior, and runtime controls.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **No text loss or generated subtasks:** confirm the selected recipe can bind
+  the annotations on sampled frames and that `policy.text_loss_weight > 0`.
+- **Subtasks look plausible but actions fail:** verify subtask boundaries,
+  normalized state/action statistics, and that low-level recipe samples are
+  present.
+- **Text collapses to repeated or location tokens:** inspect text-target
+  coverage, language-head learning rate, and the balance between flow, FAST,
+  and text losses.
+- **Out of memory:** reduce batch size first, then enable gradient
+  checkpointing. Do not enable compiled or alternative attention backends
+  without profiling their memory on your camera count.
+- **Slow rollout:** separate action latency from language latency, then tune
+  `--subtask_chunks_per_gen`, `--high_level_hz`, and the number of flow
+  inference steps.

 # Real-Time Chunking (RTC)
 
-Real-Time Chunking (RTC) is an inference-time method that allows large, flow-matching based robotic policies, such as [Pi0](./pi0), [Pi0.5](./pi05), and [SmolVLA](./smolvla), to produce smooth, continuous, and reactive motion despite having high inference latency.
+Real-Time Chunking (RTC) allows large, flow-matching based robotic policies, such as [Pi0](./pi0), [Pi0.5](./pi05), and [SmolVLA](./smolvla), to produce smooth, continuous, and reactive motion despite having high inference latency. LeRobot provides the original inference-time guided mode and, for compatible Pi052 checkpoints, training-time action conditioning with cheap hard-prefix inference.
 
 These policies generate chunks of future actions (e.g., 50 steps at a time) instead of single actions.
 Because the models are large, producing each chunk takes longer than the time it takes the robot to execute it.

-# dog-nav on a real Unitree Go2 — bring-up guide
-
-The synthetic scene (`--dry-run`) exists only to test the logic without a
-robot. To run for real you need the dog, the GPU host, and the steps
-below. Bring it up **in stages** — never start with autonomous motion on
-untested hardware.
-
-## 0. Prerequisites
-
-- Unitree Go2 **EDU** (SDK access; the consumer Go2 can't be commanded).
-- A GPU host (your 5090) on the **same network as the dog**. Over
-  Ethernet the dog is on `192.168.123.x`; find your interface with
-  `ip link` (e.g. `enp2s0`).
-- A remote/controller in hand for a hardware e-stop at all times.
-
-## 1. Get the branch onto the 5090
-
-The branch `feat/unitree-go2` is local (not pushed to upstream). Either:
-
-**Option A — your fork:**
-```bash
-# on the mac, one time:
-git remote add fork git@github.com:<you>/lerobot.git
-git push fork feat/unitree-go2
-# on the 5090:
-git clone git@github.com:<you>/lerobot.git && cd lerobot
-git checkout feat/unitree-go2
-```
-
-**Option B — git bundle (no remote needed):**
-```bash
-# on the mac:
-git bundle create go2-nav.bundle origin/main..feat/unitree-go2
-# copy go2-nav.bundle to the 5090, then:
-git clone https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot.git && cd lerobot
-git fetch ../go2-nav.bundle feat/unitree-go2:feat/unitree-go2
-git checkout feat/unitree-go2
-```
-
-## 2. Environment on the 5090
-
-```bash
-uv venv --python 3.12 .venv
-uv pip install -e .                         # lerobot core (torch, etc.)
-uv pip install transformers                 # SigLIP2
-uv pip install unitree_sdk2py               # DDS to the dog (Linux only)
-# LingBot-Map (geometry) — source install:
-pip install -e 'git+https://github.com/robbyant/lingbot-map#egg=lingbot-map'
-```
-
-Smoke-test the code path with no dog:
-```bash
-.venv/bin/python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --dry-run --command "go to the couch"
-```
-
-## 3. Stage 1 — verify DDS + sensors (NO motion)
-
-Confirm the host talks to the dog and reads odometry + camera before
-anything moves:
-```python
-from lerobot.robots.unitree_go2 import UnitreeGo2, UnitreeGo2Config
-r = UnitreeGo2(UnitreeGo2Config(network_interface="enp2s0", stand_on_connect=False))
-r.connect()
-obs = r.get_observation()
-print({k: (v.shape if hasattr(v, "shape") else v) for k, v in obs.items()})
-r.disconnect()
-```
-You want a real `front` image `(720, 1280, 3)` and non-garbage
-`x.pos/y.pos/theta.pos`. If `theta.pos` doesn't change sign the way you
-expect when you turn the dog by hand, tell me — the odometry sign
-conventions may need a tweak for your firmware.
-
-## 4. Stage 2 — teleop (low speed, hand on e-stop)
-
-```bash
-lerobot-teleoperate --robot.type=unitree_go2 \
-    --robot.network_interface=enp2s0 --teleop.type=gamepad
-```
-Confirm forward/left/turn go the right way. This validates
-`send_action`/`SportClient.Move` before the nav loop drives.
-
-## 5. Stage 3 — MAP-ONLY (still no autonomous motion)
-
-Build the map by teleoperating the dog around while the models run.
-Query where things are; the dog never drives itself:
-```bash
-.venv/bin/python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --map-only \
-    --network-interface enp2s0 --device cuda --camera-hfov-deg 90
-# teleop the dog around the room, then type object names:
-#   couch      -> "couch is at (x, y, z) ..."  or  "not found yet"
-```
-Tune `--camera-hfov-deg` to your Go2 front camera so free-space carving
-is correct (a wrong value only hurts dynamic removal, not the map).
-
-## 6. Stage 4 — autonomous nav (open space, low speed, e-stop ready)
-
-Only after 1–3 look right. Start in a clear area:
-```bash
-.venv/bin/python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --live \
-    --network-interface enp2s0 --device cuda \
-    --max-lin-speed 0.3 --max-yaw-rate 0.6
-# empty line -> one exploration step; type an object -> navigate to it.
-```
-`SafeBaseController` clamps speed, refuses moves into obstacle cells, and
-latches an e-stop if keyframes go stale (>2 s). Ctrl-C stops the base.
-
-## Known things to expect / tune on first hardware contact
-
-- **Odometry sign conventions** (`position[0/1]`, `imu_state.rpy[2]`):
-  verified in sim, not yet against live firmware — check in Stage 1.
-- **Camera FOV / focal**: set `--camera-hfov-deg` from your camera.
-- **Gait bob**: pose is planarized (yaw only); pitch/roll wobble is
-  ignored for now. Fine at low speed; a full-SE(3) camera pose is the
-  refinement if the map smears vertically.
-- **Keyframe rate**: SAM2 isn't in this path; the per-tick cost is
-  LingBot-Map + SigLIP2 on the 5090 (~tens of ms each). If ticks lag,
-  drop camera resolution.

-# `lerobot.navigation` — spatial-memory navigation
-
-Online spatio-semantic mapping (DynaMem-style), A* planning, obstacle
-avoidance and open-vocabulary goto/explore for LeRobot mobile bases.
-Ported from the dyna360 research stack; the physical robot layer lives in
-`lerobot.robots` (e.g. [`unitree_go2`](../robots/unitree_go2)).
-
-## Idea
-
-Drive any LeRobot `Robot` on the standard REP-103 mobile-base contract —
-body-velocity actions `x.vel`/`y.vel`/`theta.vel` and planar odometry
-`x.pos`/`y.pos`/`theta.pos` — from a spatial memory that is built and
-updated online from the robot's camera. With no prompt the base explores
-autonomously; given a text prompt it queries the map and navigates to the
-matching object, or explores to find it if it isn't there (or has moved).
-
-## Architecture
-
-The navigation layer talks to hardware only through LeRobot's own `Robot`
-interface, so it is robot-agnostic and carries no SDK dependency.
-
-```
-BaseController (protocol)         world-frame move()/pose() seam
-├── StubBaseController            kinematic integrator (sim, tests)
-├── RobotBaseController           wraps any Robot; world<->body +
-│                                 odometry<->world frame math
-└── SafeBaseController            velocity clamp, occupancy gate,
-                                  keyframe watchdog, e-stop latch
-```
-
-World frame is OpenCV (x right, y down, z forward); the base moves in the
-XZ plane. `RobotBaseController.feed_observation(obs)` updates pose from
-the observation the navigation loop already fetches (closed-loop
-odometry), avoiding an extra camera read; absent odometry it integrates
-open-loop so sim matches hardware.
-
-## Status (branch `feat/unitree-go2`)
-
-Implemented:
-- `base_controller.py` — the controller seam (protocol, stub, safety
-  wrapper, robot-backed controller + frame math).
-- `voxel_map.py` — 5 cm sparse-hash `VoxelMap`: count-weighted geometry,
-  free-space `carve` (dynamic updates), per-voxel feature + `query`. No
-  point-cloud retention.
-- `occupancy.py` — 3-class top-down grid + A* (no corner-cutting) +
-  obstacle inflation + frontier extraction.
-- `value_map.py` — DynaMem §3.4 recency (V_T) + similarity (V_S)
-  exploration scoring.
-- `features.py` — `SiglipFeatureExtractor` (lazy transformers) +
-  `FeatureExtractor` protocol + `BasisVectorFeatureExtractor` stand-in.
-- `geometry.py` — `GeometryRunner` protocol + `LingBotMapRunner` (lazy) +
-  `FakeGeometryRunner`; `align_trajectory_to_odometry` (Umeyama) anchors
-  the monocular scale to sport-mode odometry.
-- `pipeline.py` — viz-free `integrate_keyframe` (carve → add) +
-  feature upsampling.
-- `skills.py` / `agent.py` — `SpatialSkills` (locate/goto/explore) +
-  `DeterministicAgent` + regex parser.
-- `sim.py` — self-contained synthetic scenes for model-free dry-runs.
-- `dog_cli.py` — the `dog-nav` REPL (the deliverable).
-
-Everything is model/hardware-free-testable (191 tests across the branch).
-The one thing that needs the real dog + GPU models is `--live`.
-
-## Running
-
-```bash
-# Synthetic scene, no robot/camera/models:
-python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --dry-run
-python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --dry-run --command "go to the couch"
-
-# On a real Unitree Go2 (DDS + LingBot-Map + SigLIP2 on the GPU host):
-python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --live --network-interface enp2s0 --device cuda
-
-# Add --viz to stream the map into a Rerun viewer as it builds/updates
-# (pip install 'lerobot[viz]'). --color-mode recency shows observation age;
-# carved voxels (moved/removed objects) flash red then vanish.
-python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --dry-run --viz
-python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --map-only --viz --color-mode recency \
-    --network-interface enp2s0 --device cuda
-```
-
-Idle (no prompt) ⇒ autonomous exploration; a typed object name ⇒ navigate
-to it, exploring to find it if it isn't mapped yet.
-
-## Target platform
-
-Unitree Go2 EDU, no companion computer: the workstation (single RTX 5090)
-talks DDS straight to the dog; geometry is monocular LingBot-Map from the
-built-in front camera, scale-anchored to sport-mode odometry; the map is
-5 cm voxels. See [`robots/unitree_go2`](../robots/unitree_go2).
-
-## Not yet ported (optional enhancement)
-
-`SegmentVoxelMap` (object-centric per-segment features via SAM 2) is a
-storage/precision optimization over the plain per-voxel features used
-here; the locate/goto/explore stack is fully functional without it.

-The navigation/skills layer commands motion in a single **world frame**
-(OpenCV convention: x right, y down, z forward — the base lives in the XZ
-plane, y is gravity) and reads back an SE(3) pose. :class:`BaseController`
-is that seam. Three implementations:
-
-  - :class:`StubBaseController` — kinematic integrator, no hardware; sim +
-    unit tests.
-  - :class:`RobotBaseController` — drives any LeRobot :class:`Robot` whose
-    action space is body-frame velocities ``x.vel`` (forward, m/s),
-    ``y.vel`` (left, m/s), ``theta.vel`` (CCW yaw, rad/s) and whose
-    observation carries planar odometry ``x.pos``/``y.pos``/``theta.pos``
-    (REP-103: x forward, y left, yaw CCW). The Unitree Go2 satisfies this
-    out of the box; so would a LeKiwi base.
-  - :class:`SafeBaseController` — wraps any of the above with velocity
-    clamping, an optional occupancy gate, a keyframe watchdog and an
-    e-stop latch.
-
-All frame conversions between the world frame and a robot's body/odometry
-frame live in :func:`world_velocity_to_body` and
-:func:`odometry_to_world_pose`; nothing else needs to know the mapping.

-Behaviour:
-  - **No prompt** (idle) → the base explores autonomously: value-map
-    frontier selection, A* on the live occupancy map, obstacle-gated
-    motion. The map grows/refreshes as it goes.
-  - **Typed prompt** (e.g. ``find the couch``) → query the map; if a
-    confident match exists, navigate to it; otherwise explore until it is
-    found (or the budget is exhausted), then resume idle exploring.
-
-A new prompt preempts the current goal. Ctrl-C latches an e-stop and
-exits. ``--dry-run`` runs the whole loop against a synthetic scene with no
-robot, camera, or models — the default until the live geometry pipeline
-(LingBot-Map) is wired.
-
-Run: ``python -m lerobot.navigation.dog_cli --dry-run`` and type object
-names; empty line ⇒ one exploration step; ``quit`` ⇒ exit.

-"""SigLIP2 dense patch features (MaskCLIP-style) + text query encoding.
-
-Ported from the dyna360 research stack. Default checkpoint
-``google/siglip2-so400m-patch16-384``. For per-patch dense matching
-against text, raw ``last_hidden_state`` is the wrong space: SigLIP2's
-image-text matching lives in the MAP (Multihead Attention Pooling) head
-output. We use the MaskCLIP recipe — apply the MAP head's value
-projection + output projection + LayerNorm + MLP residual to each patch
-token, skipping the attention reduction — so each patch lands in
-(approximately) the shared text/vision space. Outputs are L2-normalized
-fp16.
-
-For dry-run and tests, :class:`BasisVectorFeatureExtractor` provides a
-deterministic name→vector stand-in with the same interface, no models
-required.

-"""2D occupancy projection of the voxel map + A* path planning.
-
-Ported from the dyna360 research stack. Derived, not maintained: every
-call to :func:`project_voxel_map_to_grid` rebuilds the 3-class grid from
-a fresh ``VoxelMap.snapshot()``, so the projection reflects whatever the
-keyframe loop most recently carved or added — no separate obstacle
-structure to keep in sync.
-
-Coordinate convention: OpenCV (X right, Y *down*, Z forward), matching
-the navigation world frame. "Up" is the −Y direction. The top-down grid
-indexes the XZ plane; cell ``(iz, ix)`` covers world rectangle
-``[origin_x + ix·cell, origin_x + (ix+1)·cell]`` ×
-``[origin_z + iz·cell, origin_z + (iz+1)·cell]``.
-
-Classes:
-  - ``UNOBSERVED`` (0): no voxel projects here. The base must not plan
-    through it (might be an unseen obstacle), but explorers treat it as
-    the goal class.
-  - ``NAVIGABLE`` (1): observed ground / open space.
-  - ``OBSTACLE`` (2): at least one voxel in the robot-height band
-    projects here.

-"""DynaMem-style value maps for exploration.
-
-Ported from the dyna360 research stack. Two scalar fields over the same
-occupancy grid as :mod:`occupancy`:
-
-  - **V_T (time-recency)** — sigmoid of "how long ago was this cell last
-    observed?" Cells not seen in a while (or never) score high; freshly
-    observed cells score low. This biases exploration away from
-    just-covered territory.
-  - **V_S (query-similarity)** — sigmoid of the cosine between the cell's
-    aggregated feature and a text query. Only defined when a query is
-    given AND the voxel map carries features.
-
-Linear combination ``V = (1 − α)·V_T + α·V_S`` gates exploration. With no
-query it is a pure recency-driven frontier walk; with a query it biases
-toward regions semantically consistent with the target (DynaMem §3.4).
-Maps are derived per-call from ``VoxelMap.snapshot`` so they inherit
-carving for free.

-"""Sparse-hash voxel memory with free-space carving + semantic features.
-
-Ported from the dyna360 research stack. Per occupied voxel: voxel index,
-running-mean xyz (count-weighted), running-mean rgb (count-weighted),
-count, last_frame, last_time, and — once vision-language features have
-been fed in — a conf-weighted running-mean feature in fp16 plus the
-weight sum.
-
-Storage is hybrid: a Python dict maps voxel index ``(ix, iy, iz)`` to a
-row in column-stored numpy arrays so lookup is O(1) and bulk arithmetic
-stays vectorized. ``carve`` removes voxels that fall inside a view's
-observed free space (DynaMem-style dynamic updates); ``query`` returns
-the top-k cosine matches against a text embedding.
-
-Default voxel size is 5 cm. The map is geometry-only until
-``add(..., feat_map=...)`` supplies per-pixel features; occupancy /
-planning use only the geometry, so they work without any features.
