Problem

TextArenaEnvironment.reset() takes a seed parameter (required by the
Environment base class interface) but never forwards it to the wrapped
TextArena env's own reset(). TextArena's reset(num_players, seed=None)
does accept a seed - it was just being dropped on the way through.

Result: reset(seed=1234) called repeatedly draws a different secret word
every time, even though the signature advertises reproducibility.

Fix

Pass seed through in TextArenaEnvironment.reset():

self._ta_env.reset(num_players=self.num_players, seed=seed)

(Left the constructor's initial reset() call alone - there's no seed in
scope there.)

Test plan

• Added test_reset_seed_is_forwarded_to_textarena, which resets twice with
  the same seed and asserts the secret word matches. Confirmed it fails on
  main (different word each time) and passes with the fix.
• PYTHONPATH=src:envs uv run pytest tests/ -v - full suite passes
  (1653 passed, 133 skipped, no failures).
• uv run ruff format --check / ruff check on the touched files - clean.
• Manually reproduced the bug and the fix outside pytest with real
  textarena installed (Wordle-v0, seed 1234 vs varying).

Fixes #1102

Note

Low Risk
Single-parameter pass-through on reset with a targeted regression test; no auth, data, or infrastructure changes.

Overview
TextArenaEnvironment.reset() now passes seed through to the wrapped TextArena env (self._ta_env.reset(..., seed=seed)). Previously the OpenEnv reset(seed=...) argument was ignored, so repeated resets with the same seed still randomized game setup (e.g. different Wordle secret words).

A regression test resets Wordle-v0 twice with seed=1234 and asserts the secret word matches.

Closing — #1127 already fixes this exact issue (same root cause, same one-line forward of seed into reset(), plus more thorough tests) and is mergeable. No need for a second PR against the same bug.
