🎯 Overview

This PR introduces a comprehensive PPOTrainer feature to TorchRL, providing a high-level, configurable training interface for PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) algorithms. The implementation includes extensive Hydra-based configuration support, comprehensive logging capabilities, and a complete training pipeline that reduces PPO implementation to ~20 lines of code.

�� Breaking Changes

  • Trainer Constructor: Added required frame_skip parameter to base Trainer class
  • Deprecated Classes: LogReward and Recorder classes marked for removal in v0.9 (use LogScalar and LogValidationReward instead)

Key Features

  • PPOTrainer Class: Complete PPO training implementation with GAE integration
  • Configuration System: 300+ Hydra configuration classes for environments, networks, transforms, optimizers
  • Enhanced Logging: Comprehensive logging infrastructure with flexible reduction methods
  • SOTA Implementation: Complete PPO training in sota-implementations/ppo_trainer/ with full Hydra support

�� Code Quality

  • ✅ Excellent documentation with examples and warnings
  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage for configuration classes
  • ✅ Proper deprecation warnings and migration paths
  • ✅ Modern Python type hints throughout
  • ⚠️ Experimental status with API change warnings

�� Testing

  • Well-tested configuration instantiation and Hydra integration
  • PPO trainer configuration validation
  • Environment and network configuration tests
  • Limited integration tests for full training pipeline

📋 Recommendations

  1. Document breaking changes prominently
  2. Provide migration guide for deprecated classes
  3. Add integration tests for complete training pipeline
  4. Consider stabilizing PPOTrainer API for future releases

Overall: Well-implemented feature that significantly enhances TorchRL's usability for PPO training. Breaking changes are minimal and well-justified with proper migration paths.
