Applicability of Policy Gradient Methods
Based on the standard derivation of the policy gradient, can the engineer still optimize the agent's policy using this method? Justify your answer by explaining which component of the full trajectory log-probability gradient is affected by this lack of a model and why it does not prevent the optimization.

Policy Gradient Estimate under Uniform Trajectory Probability
In policy gradient methods, the gradient of the log-probability of a trajectory is initially expressed as the sum of two components: one related to the agent's actions and another related to the environment's transitions. The expression is then simplified by removing the environment's component before optimization. Given the initial expression: What is the fundamental assumption that justifies simplifying this to just the policy component, ?
