+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+``d3_runtime.D3`` installs it on AMD GPUs (``torch.version.hip``) for Qwen3.5 backbones with noncausal full
+attention; every other device and model keeps the plain path, and ``D3_FAST=0`` turns it off.
+
+- Text forward passes replay HIP graphs captured at warm-up. A pass (one batch of questions, left-padded to
+  its longest prompt exactly as in the plain path) is extended on the right with masked padding to a length
+  bucket and replays the graph of its (questions, bucket) shape. The real tokens keep their positions,
+  chunk boundaries and convolution taps; the right padding is masked out of the full-attention keys and
+  comes after every real token in the causal Gated DeltaNet layers; the readout reads each prompt's last
+  real token. Passes over the graph budget (``D3_GRAPH_TOKENS`` rows x bucket tokens) run eagerly at their
+  own shape.
+- Eager passes build both attention masks from the host-known prompt lengths, so nothing inside the forward

+the aspect ratio; each 32 x 32 pixel patch is one input token. The prompt is the text prompt with the
+images in front; a request without images takes exactly the text path. Image inputs need a checkpoint
+with the vision tower (``visual.*`` weights).
+
+Videos: a request also takes any number of videos (local paths, http(s) URLs, base64 ``data:video/...``
+URLs, or frame arrays: a uint8 ``[frames, height, width, 3]`` RGB array or a list of PIL images, read as
+frames sampled at 2 per second), shared by all of its questions and placed after the images. Files are
+decoded with OpenCV (FFmpeg): 2 frames per second, at least 4 and at most 32 frames spread evenly over the
+whole video, each read by the checkpoint's own video processor at up to 200,704 pixels (0.2 MP); every two
+frames are one group of input tokens (one token per 32 x 32 pixels) after a timestamp. All videos of one
+request take at most 16,384 input tokens. A request without videos takes exactly the text or image path.
+
+Numerics: BF16 backbone with SDPA attention, FP32 readout and softmax (unless the checkpoint says
+otherwise). A request's questions run in request order, ``batch_size`` per forward pass, each batch
+left-padded to its longest prompt. ``noncausal_full_attention`` (Qwen3.5 backbones only) lets the
+full-attention layers see the whole prompt while the Gated DeltaNet layers stay causal. The Gated
+DeltaNet kernels are the ones transformers binds at import: flash-linear-attention (and causal-conv1d)
+when installed, its PyTorch reference implementation otherwise. Qwen3-VL backbones have no linear-attention
+layers and run causal attention only.
+
+``permutation_average=True`` (off by default) also scores every choice question with two or more options
+with its options in reversed order, in the same forward passes as the original order, and answers with
+the per-option mean of the two distributions. Noul and score questions are scored once. A pass carrying both
+orders that would exceed ``MERGE_TOKENS`` padded tokens runs the reversed prompts in a pass of their own, so
+peak memory stays that of the original order.
+
+The bidirectional attention over the prompt follows the approach of perplexity-ai/pplx-decider-v1.1-27b.

+
+The model is loaded once through the package's own runtime (``d3_runtime.D3``, as ``AutoModel`` loads it; by
+default the package this file belongs to) and warmed up; then the server answers:
+
+- ``GET /health``: ``200 {"status": "ready", "model", "max_input_tokens", "modalities", "authentication"}``.
+- ``GET /v1/models``: the served model with its input limit, modalities and image and video limits.
+- ``POST /v1/systemone``: a System One request, a JSON object with ``questions`` and optionally ``state``, ``images``
+  and ``videos`` (lists of base64 data URLs) and ``model`` (accepted and not used: replies name the served model).
+  The reply is the model's System One response ``{"model", "answers", "usage"}``, exactly what ``system_one``
+  returns in process, as compact JSON. A request the server cannot read (not JSON, not an object, fields outside
+  the list above, wrong types, undecodable media) gets 422 ``{"detail": "<reason>"}``; a request whose questions
+  are malformed gets 422 ``{"detail": {"invalid_questions": {"<question id>": "<reason>", ...}}}`` and nothing runs.
+
+Bodies may be sent with a Content-Length or chunked. Requests are read concurrently, but the model runs one request
+at a time. Images and videos must be base64 data URLs within the runtime's size limits: the server never opens local
+paths or fetches URLs on a client's behalf.
+
+Access control: when the environment variable ``DECISION_API_KEY`` is set to a non-empty value, ``GET /v1/models``
+and ``POST /v1/systemone`` need ``Authorization: Bearer <key>`` (compared in constant time) or get 401; ``/health``
+stays open for probes and reports ``"authentication": true``. Without the variable the server is open to anyone
+who can reach the port, so it binds to 127.0.0.1 by default.

+"""Wildcat Mini served at Bonsai's own ternary size: student-base's language Linears (every PQ2_0 matmul weight of
+Ternary Bonsai 2 27B) held on the GPU exactly as the GGUF stores them -- 2-bit codes (value (q-1)*d) plus one fp16
+scale d per 128 weights, 2.125 bits/weight -- in the Hadamard-rotated input basis prism quantized them in.
+
+The math (prism converter, undone by tools/gguf2hf.py, which made student-base):
+    W_hf = W_t . H . D        W_t = ternary codes * group scales (the GGUF), H = block-1024 normalized Walsh-Hadamard
+                              on the input axis, D = diag(explicit +-1 signs per input width)
+so  y = W_hf x = W_t (H (D x)): flip the activation's signs, rotate each 1024 block with H (one small bf16 matmul,
+shared by every Linear that reads the same tensor), then a plain matmul with the unpacked ternary weight. The 2-bit
+codes are unpacked by one Triton kernel into a shared bf16 scratch buffer right before F.linear (as d3_q3.py).
+token_embd is PQ2_0 too, with the inverse fold (plain row = (e_t H) D): rows are gathered packed and decoded per call.
+The LoRA stays separate on the unrotated input: y += f * B(A x). in_proj_a / in_proj_b (BF16 in the GGUF), norms,
+conv, A_log, dt_bias, the vision tower and the readout stay as student-base stores them.
+
+At load (from student-base) every packed Linear is decoded back to W_t H D in fp32 and compared with student-base's
+bf16 weight; a relative error above 1e-2 (a mapping bug, not rounding) stops the load.
