"""
2D herding environment for PPO training (Gymnasium-compatible).
The dog agent (action: 2D velocity vector) must herd n_sheep into the
quarantine pen. Sheep dynamics mirror the Webots controller exactly:
flee (quadratic ramp), separation (inverse-distance), cohesion, wall
avoidance, and wander.
Coordinate system matches the Webots world file:
field : x ∈ [-15, 15], y ∈ [-15, 15]
pen : x ∈ [10, 13], y ∈ [-15, -8] (SE corner, open north)
Observation (16-dim, fixed regardless of n_sheep):
dog position (2), flock COM relative to dog (2), top-3 farthest active
sheep relative to dog (6), pen relative to COM (2), pen relative to
farthest sheep (2), flock radius (1), fraction penned (1).
Permutation-invariant by design: curriculum stages share the same obs dim
so VecNormalize statistics transfer as n_sheep advances.
