Evaluation note

One task contract. Three native scenes.

A shared factory standardizes robot setup, table placement and policy cameras across the 30 × 3 scene matrix.

Data note

Replay-validated demonstrations.

One hundred replay-successful episodes per stage retain the simulator state for restoration and offline rendering.

Technical notes describe the current project, not separate publications. Code
