signal path of one layer, generated from the registry's structured fields — dimension lines quote the model's real numbers; an MoE trace forks at the router, a dense trace runs straight through. Geometry fields come from the repo's config.json.

Coding: provisional — score 15.8 ● low — a single signal; treat with caution

provisional: too few independent signals for a numbered position — the score is shown, but this model sorts after every ranked model.
