Features

Setup and Training Diagnostics

AReno now has first-class setup diagnostics for local development and release validation. The new diagnostic commands help users inspect their Python, CUDA, PyTorch, package, and source-build environment before starting training or opening an install issue.

The training CLI also prints a resolved configuration summary before backend initialization, making it easier to confirm the selected model, dataset, reward function, algorithm, rollout settings, and backend options before expensive runtime work begins.

Native Attention Backend

This release adds a native attention backend path so AReno can support more GPU environments without requiring FlashAttention in every setup. Source builds also now target visible CUDA architectures by default, reducing build surprises on mixed or older NVIDIA environments.

CLI Usability

areno train --help is grouped by user intent, so common setup, data, reward, algorithm, rollout, and backend flags are easier to scan. CPU tests now cover CLI config validation to keep those ergonomics stable.

Fixes

• Exposed Trainer from the top-level areno package for the public SDK import path.
• Added preflight validation for malformed dataset, reward, and agent task hooks.
• Fixed Qwen3.5 angle-style tool-call parsing.
• Fixed Gemma tool-call parsing for nested action arrays.
• Explained the psutil build dependency for --no-build-isolation installs.
• Improved setup guardrails and source-build diagnostics.

Documentation and Release Hygiene

• Added a tiny official training sanity path.
• Documented Docker as a setup-DX escape hatch.
• Documented FlashAttention installation ordering and CUDA build tuning with

TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST and MAX_JOBS.

• Fixed public SDK import examples in docs.
• Renamed repository URLs from asystem-areno to AReno.
• Added the v0.0.2 release hygiene checklist, including the tag convention,

sdist-only publishing expectation, milestone-driven release notes, and required release checks.
