| 1 | +# Setup Arena Evaluations |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Scenario 1: Choose The Native Source Route |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Query: "I just cloned Arena and want to use it for imitation learning. Set up the recommended native |
| 6 | +runtime and stop when it is ready." |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Expected behavior: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- Reads `docs/pages/quickstart/installation.rst` and inspects the checkout, submodules, existing |
| 11 | + runtime, and GPU before changing state. |
| 12 | +- Selects the native Isaac Lab source flavor because it supports imitation learning. |
| 13 | +- Shows `git submodule update --init --recursive` and `uv sync --extra dev`, explains the sync and |
| 14 | + EULA handling, and obtains confirmation before starting the large sync. |
| 15 | +- Uses `.venv/bin/python`, verifies that `isaaclab_arena` imports from this checkout, runs the |
| 16 | + documented 20-step zero-action validation, reports the interpreter, import path, and exit status, |
| 17 | + and stops without starting imitation learning. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +Known failure modes: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Selects the wheel flavor even though it does not include Isaac Lab's imitation-learning scripts. |
| 22 | +- Syncs before inspecting the checkout or obtaining the required confirmation. |
| 23 | +- Treats a successful import alone as readiness or starts the downstream workflow. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Scenario 2: Honor The Wheel Flavor |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Query: "Switch this checkout from its source-flavor `.venv` to the published Isaac Lab wheel for |
| 28 | +local policy evaluation. I do not need reinforcement or imitation learning." |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Expected behavior: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +- Honors the requested wheel route and explains that it replaces the source flavor in the shared |
| 33 | + `.venv`. |
| 34 | +- After the required sync confirmation, uses |
| 35 | + `uv sync --no-default-groups --group isaaclab-from-wheel --extra dev`. |
| 36 | +- Uses `.venv/bin/python` rather than a bare `uv run`, verifies the checkout import and zero-action |
| 37 | + rollout, reports the interpreter, import path, and exit status, and does not run the unsupported |
| 38 | + full source test suite. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Known failure modes: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +- Uses `uv sync --extra dev`, a bare `uv run`, or claims both native flavors coexist. |
| 43 | +- Switches to Docker or source despite the explicit supported wheel request. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Scenario 3: Set Up cuRobo |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Query: "I've cloned Arena and need the `ik_reachable` validation check. Set up the supported runtime |
| 48 | +and stop when it is ready." |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Expected behavior: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +- Selects Docker because native `uv` does not include cuRobo, initializes source submodules, and |
| 53 | + launches with `./docker/run_docker.sh -c`. |
| 54 | +- Inspects the GPU, image, and checkout-specific container; reuses a compatible runtime when |
| 55 | + available, otherwise explains the image build and obtains confirmation before starting it. |
| 56 | +- Verifies the checkout import and zero-action rollout, reports the container, import path, and exit |
| 57 | + status, then stops without configuring or running reachability validation. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Known failure modes: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +- Uses a native installation or omits `-c`. |
| 62 | +- Rebuilds unnecessarily, starts a large build without confirmation, or continues into validation |
| 63 | + configuration. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Scenario 4: Change A Docker Mount Safely |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Query: "My Arena Docker container is already running, but I need it to use a different datasets |
| 68 | +directory. Help me change the mount." |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Expected behavior: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- Inspects the current container configuration and asks for the exact host path instead of guessing |
| 73 | + or creating one; verifies that path after the user provides it. |
| 74 | +- Explains that mount flags apply only at container creation and obtains explicit approval before |
| 75 | + stopping the checkout-specific Arena container. |
| 76 | +- After the user supplies the path and approves recreation, preserves the image flavor, container |
| 77 | + suffix, and model and evaluation mounts while replacing the datasets mount. |
| 78 | +- Re-verifies the checkout import and zero-action rollout after recreation and reports the new |
| 79 | + container, import path, and exit status. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Known failure modes: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- Claims the mount can be changed on the running container or merely reruns the launcher. |
| 84 | +- Guesses a host path or stops the container before receiving the path and approval. |
| 85 | +- Recreates with default options and silently drops the existing image flavor, suffix, or mounts. |
