Full-Model Weight Scope Gate

This is one of the highest-value updates in the repository because it prevents accidental overstatement. The project now checks scope contracts, tensor coverage, image hashes, and evidence requirements before allowing full-model claims.

Key points

The project now treats scope correctness as a first-class engineering requirement.

Audit work corrected package messaging to match actual artifact coverage.

This strengthens trust in every other published milestone.

Gate output

Go / No-go

Scope gate explicitly rejects unsupported full-model claims.

Coverage check

Tensor inventory required

Claims must include complete tensor and storage evidence.

Path status

Tooling added

Hardwired full-weight generation and validation scripts are in-tree.

What the scope gate enforces

The gate requires proof of full model scope, deterministic weight image identity, fixed storage mapping, and artifact parity before a full-model claim can pass.

Reduced-slice outputs can still be valuable, but they are no longer allowed to inherit full-model framing.

Why this improves the program

Hardware research often loses credibility when packaging language gets ahead of physical evidence. Scope gating prevents that drift and keeps public communication technically precise.

Audit docs and packaging metadata now align.

False-positive full-model narratives are blocked by policy and tooling.

Future full-weight milestones can be judged against explicit criteria.
