Training data requirements

Useful

Required signal categories are declared; exact tensor and action interfaces still need verification.

Evaluation evidence

Evaluation focus is declared, but metrics are not independently verified.

Deployment readiness

Unknown
confidence 10

Hardware, latency, dependencies, and runtime loading are not yet verified.

Artifact facts and provenance

No metadata-verified artifact facts yet. Source links remain declarations only.

Loop signal demand
