"""
Learner server runner for distributed HILSerl robot policy training.
This script implements the learner component of the distributed HILSerl architecture.
It initializes the policy network, maintains replay buffers, and updates
the policy based on transitions received from the actor server.
Examples of usage:
- Start a learner server for training:
```bash
python -m lerobot.rl.learner --config_path src/lerobot/configs/train_config_hilserl_so100.json
```
**NOTE**: Start the learner server before launching the actor server. The learner opens a gRPC server
to communicate with actors.
**NOTE**: Training progress can be monitored through Weights & Biases if wandb.enable is set to true
in your configuration.
**WORKFLOW**:
1. Create training configuration with proper policy, dataset, and environment settings
2. Start this learner server with the configuration
3. Start an actor server with the same configuration
4. Monitor training progress through wandb dashboard
For more details on the complete HILSerl training workflow, see:

- Samples batches from the replay buffer and performs multiple critic updates.
- Periodically updates the actor, critic, and temperature optimizers.
- Logs training statistics, including loss values and optimization frequency.
