    # Description
    
    This PR updates the `NoiseModelWithAdditiveBias` to apply per-feature
    bias sampling.
    
    Previously, the model sampled a single scalar bias per episode and
    applied it uniformly across all feature dimensions (i.e., axis 1 of a
    (`num_env`, `feature_dim`) tensor). This PR changes the behavior to
    instead sample a separate bias value for each feature dimension, making
    the model more suitable for structured inputs such as positions,
    velocities, or multi-DOF actions.
    
    ### Notes
    
    Structured inputs typically contain semantically distinct components,
    like [x, y, z] coordinates, where applying the same bias across all
    components introduces unrealistic, fully correlated noise. Independent
    per-dimension bias sampling leads to more realistic and robust policy
    training, especially for sim-to-real transfer.
    
    I’ve replaced the previous behavior with this new default, as I believe
    the original implementation could be misleading and not well-suited for
    many practical scenarios. However, if desired, I can make both behaviors
    available via a configuration flag (e.g., `per_feature_bias=True`), to
    retain backward compatibility.
    
    Fixes #2759.
