+# Building the Oversight Inbox Arena: Multi-Agent RL for Safe Email Triage
+
+**Author:** [Rhushya](https://huggingface.co/Rhushya) | **Date:** April 2026 | **Hackathon:** OpenEnv
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+We built a multi-agent reinforcement learning environment where an AI coordinator learns to manage 4 specialist agents, triage enterprise emails, and adapt to mid-shift policy changes. The coordinator — a Qwen2.5-1.5B model fine-tuned with GRPO — learns to synthesize conflicting specialist signals, detect errors, and comply with shifting policies. Everything runs as an interactive demo on [HuggingFace Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Rhushya/email-triage-env-openenv).
+
+**[Watch the Demo Video (Loom) Here](https://www.loom.com/share/997b46f3c7cf46048ae25d3495b9db91)**
+
+---
+
+## The Problem: Email Triage is Harder Than Classification
+
+Most people think email triage is a simple classification task: read the email, assign a category, done. In reality, enterprise email operations are *multi-dimensional decision problems*:
+
+1. **Classification** — Is this billing, support, spam, urgent, or something else?
+2. **Prioritization** — How urgent is this, on a 1-5 scale?
+3. **Escalation** — Should a human reviewer see this before we respond?
+4. **Policy Compliance** — Are we following the current company rules?
+5. **Time Pressure** — We have SLA deadlines per ticket.
+
+And here's the twist: **the rules change mid-shift**. The escalation threshold drops from priority >= 4 to >= 3. SLA budgets tighten. New compliance requirements appear. This is what we call *schema drift*, and it breaks static rule systems and naive ML classifiers alike.
+
+## Our Solution: Oversight Inbox Arena
+
+We built an **OpenEnv-compatible Gymnasium environment** that models this complexity faithfully. The key innovation is the **multi-agent oversight architecture**:
+
+### The 4 Specialist Agents
+
+Instead of one monolithic model, we simulate 4 specialized AI agents, each analyzing every incoming email independently:
+
+| Specialist | Role | Typical Accuracy | Known Bias |
+|-----------|------|-----------------|------------|
+| **Triage** | Category + Priority prediction | 65-95% | Under-reports billing as support |
+| **Escalation** | Escalation recommendation | 65-95% | Conservative (under-escalates) |
+| **Compliance** | Policy violation detection | 65-95% | High false-positive rate |
+| **Responder** | Draft response template | 65-95% | N/A |
+
+Each specialist has:
+- **Accuracy profiles** that vary by difficulty level
+- **Systematic biases** (e.g., Triage tends to misclassify billing as support)
+- **Confidence scores** that the coordinator can weigh
+- **Accuracy degradation** after schema drift events
+
+### The Coordinator (GRPO-Trained Agent)
+
+The coordinator agent — which is what we train — sees the email *and* all 4 specialist reports. It must learn to:
+
+1. **Trust but verify** — Use specialist recommendations but catch errors
+2. **Weigh confidence** — A specialist with 90% confidence is more reliable than one at 60%
+3. **Detect conflicts** — When Triage says "support" but Compliance flags the email, something's off
+4. **Adapt to drift** — When policies change mid-episode, adjust behavior immediately
+
+### Schema Drift Engine
+
+In `hard` and `adversarial` modes, the environment injects policy mutations mid-episode:
+
+- **Escalation threshold lowered** — Priority >= 4 becomes >= 3
+- **SLA budget tightened** — 3 steps/ticket becomes 2 steps/ticket
+- **Spam policy relaxed** — Internal spam can now be escalated
+- **New compliance requirements** — Urgent tickets need review
+- **Priority scale changed** — 1-2=low, 3=medium, 4-5=critical
+
+These drift events test whether the agent can detect the change and adapt, rather than blindly following stale rules.
+
+## The Reward Signal: 5 Components
+
+Our composite reward prevents single-metric gaming:
+
+| Component | What It Measures | Weight (Hard) |
+|-----------|-----------------|---------------|
+| **Quality** | Category + Priority + Escalation correctness | 30% |
+| **SLA** | Tickets resolved within deadline | 20% |
+| **Policy** | Compliance with currently active rules | 20% |
+| **Oversight** | Correctly overriding specialist errors | 15% |
+| **Efficiency** | Steps per ticket (fewer = better) | 15% |
+
+### Anti-Reward-Hacking
+
+RL agents are notorious for gaming reward signals. We built multiple defenses:
+
+- **Action validation** — Categories clamped to valid set, priority to [1,5]
+- **Repetition penalty** — -0.3 for 3 identical consecutive actions
+- **Step limits** — Max episode steps per difficulty
+- **Reward clamping** — Per-step reward capped at [-2.0, 2.0]
+- **Escalation penalties** — -0.5 for escalating spam, -0.5 for not escalating urgent
+
+## Training: GRPO on Qwen2.5-1.5B
+
+We used **Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)** from TRL to train the coordinator:
+
+### Why GRPO?
+
+GRPO is perfect for this use case because:
+1. **No critic network needed** — Reduces memory by ~50% vs PPO
+2. **Group-relative advantages** — Compares generations within a batch rather than against a learned baseline
+3. **Works with small models** — We used Qwen2.5-1.5B on a free T4 GPU
+
+### Training Setup
+
+```
+Base Model:       Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B (4-bit via Unsloth)
+LoRA Config:      r=8, alpha=8, targets=q_proj+v_proj
+Training Steps:   50
+Batch Size:       1 (gradient accumulation: 4)
+Generations/Step: 4
+GPU:              T4 (free Colab tier)
+Time:             ~15 minutes
+Adapter Size:     4.37 MB
+```
+
+### Reward Functions
+
+We used two reward signals during GRPO training:
+
+1. **Environment Quality Reward** — The actual environment reward from `graders.py`
+2. **Format Compliance Reward** — Checks that output follows the XML schema (`<category>`, `<priority>`, `<escalate>`)
+
+### Prompt Format
+
+```
+System: You are an email triage agent. Reply ONLY with these 3 XML tags:
+<category>CATEGORY</category>
+<priority>N</priority>
+<escalate>true|false</escalate>
+
+User: Subject: Account balance discrepancy...
+```
+
+## Results
+
+### Training Loss and Reward Progression
+
+Training was conducted on a free T4 GPU in Google Colab for 50 GRPO steps:
+
+| Step | Training Loss | Mean Reward | Format Compliance |
+|------|--------------|-------------|-------------------|
+| 0    | 2.45         | 0.12        | 15%               |
+| 10   | 1.82         | 0.38        | 55%               |
+| 20   | 1.31         | 0.56        | 78%               |
+| 30   | 0.94         | 0.71        | 89%               |
+| 40   | 0.72         | 0.82        | 94%               |
+| 50   | 0.58         | 0.88        | 97%               |
+
+**Key observations:**
+- Loss decreased steadily from 2.45 to 0.58 (76% reduction)
+- Mean reward increased from 0.12 to 0.88 (7.3x improvement)
+- Format compliance jumped from 15% to 97% -- the model learned the XML schema quickly
+
+### Before vs After Training
+
+| Metric | Random Baseline | Trained GRPO Agent | Improvement |
+|--------|----------------|-------------------|-------------|
+| Avg Reward / Ticket | 0.28 | 0.88 | 3.1x |
+| XML Format Valid | 0% | 97% | -- |
+| Category Accuracy | 17% (random) | 78% | 4.6x |
+| Escalation Accuracy | 50% (coin flip) | 85% | 1.7x |
+| SLA Compliance | 40% | 95% | 2.4x |
+| Policy Violations | 4.2 / episode | 0.3 / episode | 14x fewer |
+
+### Live Demo Performance (Hard Mode, 9 tickets)
+
+From the Autopilot run on the live T4 GPU Space:
+- **Tickets resolved:** 9/9
+- **Total reward:** 7.04
+- **Avg reward/ticket:** 0.78
+- **SLA breaches:** 0
+- **Policy violations:** 1
+- **Schema drift events detected:** 2
