Pull request overview
This PR updates the VERL algorithm documentation to clarify which upstream VERL configuration fields are effective (or overridden) when running Agent Lightning in agent-mode, aligning expectations for users configuring agl.VERL(...).
Changes:
- Adds a “Configuration compatibility” section describing how Agent Lightning composes VERL configs and which settings behave differently in agent-mode.
- Documents the agent-mode handling of
temperature, rollout sampling parameters (e.g.,top_p),val_kwargs, anddata.truncation. - Links to the upstream VERL configuration reference for further configuration details.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
