The Trust Region Size Trade-off
In the context of optimizing an agent's policy, explain the trade-off involved when setting the size of the 'trust region'. What are the potential negative consequences of setting a region that is too large, and what are the potential negative consequences of setting one that is too small?

Trust Region Policy Optimization
An engineer is training a reinforcement learning agent using a policy-based method. They observe the following training behavior: the agent's performance steadily improves for several iterations, but then suddenly collapses, becoming significantly worse than before. This pattern of gradual improvement followed by a catastrophic drop in performance repeats. Which of the following statements provides the most likely explanation for this unstable training dynamic?
