September 2025 monthly summary for assume-framework/assume: Delivered Activation Function Configuration and Actor Output Range Handling with a robust, configurable activation mechanism and fixed clamping logic. Replaced implicit extreme value calculations with explicit dictionary lookups for activation functions, enabling precise output ranges and easier experimentation. Fixed a bug where action clamping used extreme values from the activation function instead of the forward-pass min/max, addressing incorrect outputs under Xavier initialization. Commits include reverting the implicit extreme value calculation (9b147bb3782986207524d7fe339e97ad65898d4d) and adding release notes (6f10eeda029698e8e3a96548062dbc5575e9310f). Release notes documenting the changes were published to accompany this work.
