    "  - reference-dtype GGUF (F32) at models/nemotron-speech-streaming-en-0.6b/*-F32.gguf",
    "  - C++ build: CPU backend, --threads 1 (default validate.py invocation)",
    "  - KV cache type: AUTO (resolves to F32 on the F32 weights)",
    "  - mel frontend: C++ transcribe-mel (no env-var ref injection)",

    "Why per-variant scoping (not folded into parakeet.json):",
    "  the frontend has normalize=none, so enc.mel.in is raw log-mel (~min -16,",
    "  ~max 2.5) and the unnormalized values cascade to larger pre_encode magnitudes.",

    "Drift profile (verified on this run):",
    "  - enc.mel.in: observed max_abs=0.806, concentrated entirely on frame 1099",

    "    radix-2 FFT differ in summation order at the very edge of the audio,",
    "    after our seq_len-based mask zeroes frame 1100 to match NeMo. mean_abs",
    "    is 4e-5; the rest of the tensor matches well below 1e-3.",
    "  - enc.pre_encode.out: observed max_abs=6.95. CausalConv2D path with",
    "    asymmetric (left=k-1, right=stride-1) pre-padding on both freq and time",
    "    axes; the explicit zero-pad-then-conv composition vs torch's fused",
    "    F.pad + conv accumulates the edge-frame mel drift through three",
    "    stride-2 layers. Drift is concentrated on the first 1-2 and last 1-2",
    "    frames after subsampling; centre frames match below 1e-2.",
    "  - enc.block.{0,12}.out: observed max_abs ~0.4 each, also boundary-frame",
    "    dominated. The chunked_limited attention mask is identical to NeMo's",
    "    (verified post-mask drift is 0.0) so this is rel-pos accumulation",
    "    through 24 layers of fp32 matmul reduction-order differences.",
    "  - enc.block.23.out / enc.final / dec.enc_out: observed max_abs=4.1e-3.",
    "    The output norm + final LayerNorm centre the values around 0, so",
    "    boundary-frame drift collapses to the typical 24-layer fp32 floor.",
    "  - dec.joint.0: observed max_abs=7.2e-3, mean_abs=4.2e-3. Tanh-relu output",
    "    head over enc + pred projections; tight against fp32 round-off.",
