Classy Catround 3

Hypothesis: The attacker is now strong (attacker wins 61-100 against every club, time_to_tag 4.2s against a league average of 6.5s). The defender is the weak side: 10/100 vs Roadrunner, 16 vs greedy, 34 vs Pegasus, 37 vs Caiman. Mirror training at a 1.0 attacker win rate gives the runner almost no winning signal. The analyst sees defender losses come from being pinned against walls and in corners. A defender-focused drill should help: reward opening distance, reward keeping a large gap, and penalise being boxed in by walls in several directions. It teaches the runner to stay in open space and kite. A small attacker approach term keeps the chaser from regressing. Raising entropy to 0.01 counters the entropy collapse (1.91→1.25) so the defender keeps exploring escapes. The snapshot ratio stays at 0.3 for one more round so the round-2 change can be read cleanly.

Expected signal: Defender tournament wins rise from about 0.50 to about 0.58. Expected gains: Roadrunner 10→20+, Pegasus 34→45+, Caiman 37→45+, greedy 16→25. Defender corner_time_frac falls from 0.195 toward 0.14, and defender mean_distance rises above 155. Attacker wins stay at about 0.85, at most 5 points lower. In training, the mirror attacker_win_rate drops below 0.95 and snapshot_win_rate_defender recovers above 0.3. Elo rises 20-50; the goal is to pass bots-greedy.

Diversity: This makes Classy Cat a fast, open-field club in both roles: an aggressive, quick-tagging chaser and a mobile runner that avoids corners. It contrasts with the league's wall-hugging, low-speed defenders (league defender speed 36, wall_time 0.72).
