Part I
Reconstruction era (AE / VAE)
What you should noticeTurn detail up: the recon looks richer, but the agent readout from the latent gets worse.
Classic autoencoders (and VAEs) train by rebuilding pixels. That works — and quietly forces the latent to spend bits on wallpaper. Drag detail and watch recon quality climb while a simple task probe (agent position) degrades.
