Johnny Fernandes 07d1ece3d4 Allow strafe_efficiency=1.0 in mec preset test; minor comment cleanup
After a deep investigation into the n=5 mecanum sim-to-real gap, all
attempted fixes (consensus tightening, wall_reject tightening, static-
phantom drop, deploy-time track merge, in-tracker track merge,
fp_rate-augmented retrain, max_range cap, 140° mecanum retrain) failed
to reliably pen n=5 in Webots without regressing n=10. The phantom
problem at 360° + small flock is genuinely hard and out of scope for
the deadline; documented in docs/status.md.

Result preserved from the previous mecanum work:
* 16/16 differential cells pen N/N.
* 4/8 mecanum cells (all n=10) pen 10/10 via Supervisor kinematic
  injection (commit 27c0f65).
* n=5 mecanum is the known gap.

Small changes that survived the iteration:
* tests/test_config.py — strafe_efficiency=1.0 is now valid (kinematic
  injection means the gym preset and Webots controller share the
  formula, so textbook values produce gym-identical body motion).
* tools/run_webots.sh — refreshed the LiDAR-variant comment.
* training/rl/train.py — comment polish.

# Launch Webots with N sheep enabled and the chosen controller mode.
# Generates a temporary world file in worlds/field_test.wbt with sheep
# beyond N commented out, sets the env vars the dog controller reads,
# then execs Webots on it.
#
# Usage:
# tools/run_webots.sh [N] [MODE] [DRIVE] [WORLD]
# N : number of active sheep (1..10), default 10
# MODE : "bc" | "rl" | "strombom" | "sequential", default "bc"
# DRIVE : "differential" | "mecanum", default "differential"
# WORLD : base world name (without .wbt), default "field"
# Supported: "field" (rectangular), "field_round" (circular)
#
# Examples:
# tools/run_webots.sh 10 bc # behaviour-cloned MLP, diff drive
# tools/run_webots.sh 10 rl mecanum # KL-PPO fine-tune, mecanum wheels
# tools/run_webots.sh 5 sequential field_round # analytic baseline, round field
# tools/run_webots.sh 3 strombom mecanum field_round # Strömbom, mecanum, round
#
# Notes:
# * bc loads training/runs/bc/policy.zip, rl loads training/runs/rl.
# Override via HERDING_POLICY_DIR=/path/to/run env var.
# * Conda env "tir" must be active (provides stable-baselines3 + torch).
#
# Headless-ish (no 3D view, fast sim, no modal dialogs):
# WEBOTS_HEADLESS=1 make webots N=10 MODE=rl DRIVE=mecanum
# WEBOTS_HEADLESS=1 tools/run_webots.sh 10 rl mecanum
# This passes --no-rendering --minimize --mode=fast --batch to webots.
# Webots still needs a display (Qt); on a machine without one use e.g.:
# xvfb-run -a env WEBOTS_HEADLESS=1 tools/run_webots.sh 10 rl mecanum
# Optional extra CLI tokens (space-separated):
# WEBOTS_EXTRA_ARGS="--stdout --stderr" WEBOTS_HEADLESS=1 tools/run_webots.sh 10 rl
set -e
# Make sure HERDING_PYTHON is resolved and on PATH so Webots inherits
# the right interpreter (controllers/{shepherd_dog,sheep}/runtime.ini
# both read $HERDING_PYTHON via env-var expansion).
