💡 What: Implemented buffered I/O for DataLogger and ensured proper resource cleanup in Main.py.
🎯 Why: Logging every step synchronously to disk was a significant performance bottleneck (approx. 45us per step), adding minutes to long training runs.
📊 Impact: Expected performance improvement of ~4.5x in logging operations. Reduces total training time by ~7-9 minutes for a full 40k episode run.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with a reproduction script (reproduce_logger_slowness.py, now deleted) showing a reduction from ~4.7s to ~1.0s for 100k steps.

- Implements a buffer in `DataLogger` to reduce I/O overhead.
- Default buffer size is 1000 steps.
- Adds `flush()` and `close()` methods to `DataLogger`.
- Updates `Main.py` to use `try...finally` block to ensure `logger.close()` is called.
- Adds `.gitignore` to exclude temporary files and artifacts.

Impact:
- Reduces logging overhead by ~4.5x (from ~45us to ~10us per step).
- Saves approximately 7-9 minutes per training run (12M steps).
