+hv_drift_rl.py — RL under drift: primitives, taxonomy, and benchmarks. v4.
+
+Fixes vs v3:
+  - Rescue check now tests delta_obs_rew (not delta_obs). v3's ablation
+    established that only the composite rescues failing shapes.
+  - reward_clipping failure threshold raised from 0.50 to 0.55. Sinusoidal
+    at 51% is a 49-point drop from baseline and should count as failing.
+  - Noted: decay at high corruption rates (0.02-0.05) shows partial recovery
+    due to homogenization toward Q.mean(). This is a real effect, not noise.
+
+Source: XuanJi SKILLS archive, Chapter 7 ("Reinforcement Learning Under Drift").
+
+The three core findings
+-----------------------
+F1 (refined). Delta encoding is universally safe WHEN APPLIED TO BOTH
+    observation AND reward. Delta observation alone is not universally
+    safe — on the corridor task it fails in 3 of 6 drift shapes because
+    the aliased delta state cannot overcome the non-terminal penalty.
+    Adding the reward delta zeroes non-terminal rewards and restores a
+    clean distance-to-goal signal.
+
+F2. Drift shape determines survival, not magnitude. Blur (additive) on
+    parameters is tolerable; decay (mean-reverting) collapses at
+    intermediate rates; anchoring is worse than nothing under drift.
+
+F3. Drift-as-signal inverts the standard framing. Not directly
+    demonstrated in this prototype.
