"""Unit tests for PPO's value-bootstrapping wiring.
Exercises the connector pipeline (``AddOneTsToEpisodesAndTruncate`` +
``AddColumnsFromEpisodesToTrainBatch`` + ``BatchIndividualItems``) feeding into
``compute_value_targets``. Targets are pinned to closed-form GAE answers so a
regression in either the connector layout or the GAE recursion is caught.
