"""The canonical synthetic corpus: recipe, shard builder and verifier. TinyCast's pretraining mix is GIFT-Eval-Pretrain and Chronos KernelSynth, taken from their publishers, plus four synthetic shards. This module is the record of how those four shards were made: four shards of 62,500 series at length 4,096, families mixed 70/15/15 over the generators in :mod:`tinycast.synth`. Everything that changes the generated bytes is a default in :data:`CANONICAL_RECIPE` rather than an argument, so ``build_shard()`` with no arguments reproduces published shard 0 and there is nothing to tune. Treat the values in that dictionary as versioned data: changing one produces a different corpus, not a differently configured build of the same one. WHAT REPRODUCIBILITY MEANS HERE. The shards are published as files, so the corpus can be downloaded and read without regenerating anything. Regeneration reproduces the published float16 payload exactly on the stack it was generated on: 0 of 327,680 values differ across 4 shards by 20 rows on an RTX 3090 with torch 2.10.0+cu128 and driver 580.159.03. Reproduction on other GPUs, CUDA versions or torch builds is untested, and the GP family runs through cuSOLVER, so it is not safe to assume it carries over. :func:`verify_shard` is how you find out for a given stack: it regenerates a prefix and reports how many float16 values differ. Verify against ``series.f16``, which is the payload, and not against ``series_mean.f32``. That sidecar is a float32 sum with heavy cancellation on near-zero-mean rows, so its last bit moves with the numpy build while the f16 payload it feeds is unaffected. ``series_stdev.f32`` does not cancel. CUDA IS REQUIRED, and is enforced rather than detected. The GP family samples by dense Cholesky, and off CUDA that factorization and the normal draws feeding it come from different generators, so the same seed gives different series: the CPU path moves up to 182 of the 4,096 float32 values in a row. The published shards came from the CUDA branch. A build with no GPU therefore fails here instead of falling back and quietly producing a different corpus.
