Is the "FIX" necessary here? Looks a bit like a "FIXME" tag

Adding the class back in would be nice, I think. Else we have to follow the error stack

# FIXME: MAJOR BUFFER REFACTOR NEEDED
# =======================================================
# The current MightyRolloutBuffer has significant design issues that require a major refactor:
#
# 1. SHAPE INCONSISTENCY PROBLEMS:
# - RolloutBatch._promote() limits inputs to 1D/2D tensors but buffer storage expects different shapes
# - Discrete actions: buffer expects (timesteps, n_envs) but _promote creates (1, timesteps)
# - Continuous actions: buffer expects (timesteps, n_envs, action_dim) but _promote creates (timesteps, action_dim)
# - This forces users to provide data in unintuitive pre-transposed formats
#
# 2. LOG_PROBS TRANSPOSE QUIRK:
# - Only log_probs gets transposed (.T) during add(), making it inconsistent with other fields
# - Requires log_probs to be provided in transposed format compared to other arrays
# - See "FIXME" comments throughout tests for examples of this inconsistency
#
# 3. MULTI-STEP BATCH FAILURE:
# - Multi-step RolloutBatch additions fail due to shape mismatches
# - Forces inefficient single-step workarounds in all tests and likely in real usage
# - Breaks the intended design of efficient batch processing
#
# PROPOSED SOLUTION:
# - Remove or redesign _promote() function to handle multi-env data correctly
# - Eliminate log_probs transpose quirk for consistency
# - Standardize on single tensor format throughout pipeline: (timesteps, n_envs, feature_dim)
# - Ensure multi-step batch additions work properly for PPO efficiency
# - Make API more intuitive so users don't need shape gymnastics
# TODO: PRIORITY: High - affects core functionality

Why print statements? Shouldn't this be another assert instead?

Again with the debug prints! I think the copilot suggestion with the debug mode isn't bad. If that's not needed, we should remove them or move them to failing asserts.
