notes: |
  B200 runs of this model need `patches/fla_blackwell_guard.py`: with the image's Triton 3.6, FLA 0.4.1's autotuner
  picks gated-delta-net kernel configs that race on Blackwell and give a different, wrong result on every call, and
  the patch keeps those kernels on the configs FLA main uses there. Every training process on every node imports it
  before FLA (patches/README.md) and prints a `[fla-guard]` line.
