To establish a mechanism-driven framework that isolates and standardizes the confounding algorithmic and system-level components of reinforcement learning post-training for reasoning language models.
Structured post-training workflows along three core axes: learning-signal type, policy and data regime, and optimization granularity.
Decomposed model training pipelines into modular motifs encompassing advantage construction, drift control, dense feedback, off-policy reuse, and rollout–update dataflow.
Analyzed literature preprints and system reports via source-bounded case studies and established a matched-budget reporting checklist.
Identified that published performance gains routinely confound the independent effects of reward signals, policy constraints, data reuse, and compute budgets.
Formulated standardized diagnostic reporting primitives that decouple core algorithmic progress from asynchronous pipeline engineering and inference scaling.
Mapped post-training interface extensions to embodied systems and action models, emphasizing world-model error tracking and safety constraints.
