"""Shepherd Dog controller (Webots).
Mode is selected by ``HERDING_MODE`` (env var, or via the
``herding_runtime.cfg`` file the launcher writes since Webots strips
env vars on some setups):
strombom → canonical Strömbom (2014) collect/drive heuristic
wrapped in ActiveScanTeacher (opening rotation +
walk-to-centre when the tracker briefly empties).
sequential → single-target "pin-and-push", same wrapper.
bc → behaviour-cloned MLP, trained on Strömbom demos.
Default policy: training/runs/bc/policy.zip.
rl → KL-regularised PPO fine-tune of bc. Same obs/action
space as bc; refines time-to-pen via reward while
staying anchored to bc.
Default policy: training/runs/rl/policy.zip.
Sheep perception
----------------
The dog perceives sheep through its **front-mounted 140° LiDAR**
(``protos/ShepherdDog.proto``: 180 rays, 12 m max range). Each step:
1. Reads ``lidar.getRangeImage()``.
2. Runs ``herding.perception.lidar_perception.detections_from_scan``
to cluster returns into world-frame ``(x, y)`` sheep estimates.
3. Folds those into a ``SheepTracker`` which maintains last-seen
positions for sheep currently out of FOV and latches "penned"
once a track crosses the gate plane south.
Sheep ``emitter`` messages are read **for diagnostic logging only**
(GT_penned counter + auto-finish sentinel); they are never used to
drive the policy. Perception for control comes entirely from LiDAR.
Auto-finish
-----------
When the dog observes (via GT, read off the receiver) that all sheep
are penned, it writes ``training/.run_done`` and the launcher
(``tools/run_webots.sh``) detects it and closes Webots. This keeps
batch evaluation runs bounded.
