任务多样性提升迁移能力但阻碍持续学习，提出新基准Banyan验证其边界。

Continual reinforcement learning aims to produce agents that learn not only to improve at their current tasks but also to adapt as task distributions change. Training an agent on many diverse tasks can induce zero-shot generalization, but previous work generally evaluates this generalization after training -- with frozen weights. Whether task diversity also improves an agent's ability to continue learning across distribution shifts remains unclear. We introduce Banyan, a GPU-accelerated continual RL domain in which task diversity factors into three independently controllable axes: the map layouts an agent must navigate, the objects it must interact with, and the hierarchical structures of sub-goal dependencies. Across individual distribution shifts, increasing diversity along each axis causes agents to begin training on the new tasks near the performance attained on the previous one, even when the shift changes the structure of the optimal policy. However, as the number of shifts increases, this local transfer does not by itself yield sustained continual learning: longer-horizon tasks plateau, and earlier task distributions are forgotten after later training. Banyan is a benchmark for studying when controlled task diversity produces transferable learning, when that transfer persists, and where it falls short of proper continual learning.
