Walk through GRPO's implementation: group sampling, advantage normalization, and the failure modes you watch for.

GRPO drops the value model and estimates advantage from a group of samples per prompt. The signal is the exact mechanics, why the group baseline works, and the normalization traps that quietly bias training.
