Research direction

Start by collecting the missing environment details and an exact reproduction for the reported distributed initialization log. Then trace the training startup path that emits "Initializing distributed" and determine why execution remains at member 1/5. Done means the cause is reproduced and documented with a verified fix or a clearly actionable diagnosis.
