Episodic 61D hot-swap trick (flat + backlash twin). Potential-based peak height and bilateral flight; sit/fall with feet off does not count. Reverse-curriculum airborne / crouch-up spawns teach landing. CPU cfg tests lock the contract; 64-env × 5-iter smoke is NaN-free.

Hi, have you tested that it is able to jump with its tiny motors? Could you pls share the simulation video?

Why
Roulade is a roll. Kick is a swing. Sitstand is a sit. Nothing in the pad means leave the ground and land — swap the ONNX in, the duck hops, then auto-hands back to stand/walk after ~2 s.
A two-foot hop is at the XL330 margin (open-loop BAM crouch→extend never left the floor). The env therefore pays Δpeak height and Δbilateral flight only while both feet are off, upright, and at/above stand — a sit/fall with feet off does not count. Reverse-curriculum airborne / crouch-upward spawns put landing on-policy even if takeoff is rare.

Ran on a Spark (GB10): 16 jump tests green. Smoke 64 envs × 5 iters: actor obs (61,), every reward term computed,
Episode_Termination/nan_state = 0, self-negating penalties logged ≤ 0.This is the env. A real run is
~2000–3000iters at 4096 envs (experiment_name=microduck_jump), thenscripts/export.py(bakes the normalizer — mandatory). A local 4096-env Spark run produced a visible ~3 cm hop from a standing start; weights stay out of git (same as the other tricks).Deploy rehearsal
