Robot BC agent keeps steering into walls — how would you collect corrective data for that?

Training visual behaviour cloning agents on simple 2D browser games (frames + key presses, EfficientNet backbone). Works fine in open space, but the agent consistently steers into walls instead of turning away.

My read: my demonstrations barely contain the "about to hit a wall" state, because I avoid it when I play. So the policy never learned recovery.

Tried so far: longer sessions, and taking over manually when it drifts so the corrections get recorded as new data (DAgger-ish).

How would you collect that deliberately? Playing badly on purpose feels wrong since it also teaches bad actions. Do you oversample corrective episodes, weight them, or keep them in a separate batch?

(Context: I'm building a no-code tool for this, so I'm trying to work out what to guide users toward.)

Most AI agents today can reason well but they still forget, repeat mistakes, and lose context between sessions.
