//! MountainCarContinuous-v0 environment.
//!
//! Continuous-action variant of [`crate::classic::mountain_car::MountainCar`].
//! The agent applies a scalar force in `[-1, 1]` at each step; it must swing
//! left to build momentum before cresting the right hill.
//!
//! ## Reward
//!
//! Reward is shaped to penalise effort while rewarding goal-reaching:
//!
//! ```text
//! reward = -0.1 * force² + 100 * [position ≥ goal_position ∧ velocity ≥ goal_velocity]
//! ```
//!
//! - **Running step**: `reward = -0.1 * force²` (≤ 0)
//! - **Terminal step**: `reward = -0.1 * force² + 100`
//!
//! A zero-force policy scores `0` every step; the agent must accept temporary
//! control cost to achieve the large goal bonus.
//!
//! ## Step limit
//!
//! This environment has **no intrinsic episode limit**. The standard
//! Gymnasium cap of 999 steps should be added externally:
//!
//! ```no_run,ignore
//! use rlevo_environments::{classic::mountain_car_continuous::MountainCarContinuous, wrappers::TimeLimit};
//!
//! let env = TimeLimit::new(MountainCarContinuous::new(false), 999);
//! ```
//!
//! ## Quick start
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rlevo_core::environment::Environment;
//! use rlevo_environments::classic::mountain_car_continuous::{
//!     MountainCarContinuous, MountainCarContinuousAction,
//! };
//!
//! let mut env = MountainCarContinuous::new(false);
//! let _snap = env.reset().unwrap();
//! let action = MountainCarContinuousAction::new(0.5).unwrap();
//! let snap = env.step(action).unwrap();
//! println!("{snap:?}");
//! ```
