Old data type for observation_spec was dict-based but I don't know the exact arrangement without reading through the old changelogs.

New data type for observation_spec is a tuple like this:

<class 'tuple'>: ({'action_result': (0,), 'alerts': (0,), 'available_actions': (0,), 'build_queue': (0, 7), 'cargo': (0, 7), 'cargo_slots_available': (1,), 'control_groups': (10, 2), 'game_loop': (1,), 'last_actions': (0,), 'multi_select': (0, 7), 'player': (11,), 'score_cumulative': (13,), 'single_select': (0, 7), 'feature_screen': (17, 84, 84), 'feature_minimap': (7, 64, 64), 'feature_units': (0, 26)},)

Data in the tuple observation_spec is addressable by [0].action_result[0]
