The checkpoints.

Every servable variant in or beside the repo. resident_gib is what lands in VRAM after load; host_gib is what stays on the host and never touches the card.

The published launches.

One entry per engine × checkpoint with a command somebody published. Each cites the page it was read from — the card copies it, it does not invent it.

Every floor a box must clear.

A launch that fails on the third requirement wasted the first two. These are the requirements, as data — the fit gate reads them instead of a paragraph.

The 2 things this card could not answer.

First-class, not swallowed. Every entry is a field a source did not answer — which makes it a launch nobody has done, and therefore a unit of work rather than a defect.

hardware.validated the only verified targets are non-GPU: xeon6 — no GPU family was verified for this repo

The file.

The card is a YAML document with a published JSON Schema. View it, download it, diff it against the next capture — and point one at it.

Same bytes the collector wrote. The JSON is the same card, for a machine that would rather not parse YAML.

with one

one launch --card Qwen/Qwen3-8B/launch-card.yaml

one follows the argv above, checks the floors before the paid clock, and on a failure changes exactly one field and retries — recording every attempt against this path.

Where every field came from.

The card is assembled, not authored. These are the sources, so a reader can check the claim rather than trust it.
