A fixed comparison point for future architecture variants, so each
experimental axis (routed trunk, WGAN generators, attention history,
shared conditioning) is a single edit away from one known config.

flow/flow autoregressive, hidden_dim 512 / 6 blocks per stage, physical
conditioning, no router, 7.70M params. Chosen by ranking the five runs in
analysis_runs/ by mean Jensen-Shannon divergence against the Geant4
reference: unrouted flow wins (0.172) over routed flow (0.197/0.200) and
both WGAN runs (0.218/0.234), with the lead concentrated in per-event
total deposited energy and the per-PDG marginals.

batch_size 36864 is sized for one L40S on deepthought2 from a measured
linear fit of this config's training step (reserved MiB = 0.9736 * bs +
115), giving ~36 GiB, 78% of the card.

The comments record two measured facts that are easy to get wrong:
WGAN is slower to *train* than flow (n_critic plus the gradient-penalty
double-backward), its advantage being inference-only; and
sample_secondaries_ar loops over all k_max slots unconditionally rather
than short-circuiting on n_sec, which is what makes the autoregressive
decoder the dominant cost on both axes.

# GIANT reference baseline (v0.3 schema).
#
# The fixed comparison point every future architecture variant is measured
# against. Chosen so that each experimental axis the roadmap cares about
# (routed trunk, WGAN generators, attention history, shared conditioning,
# embedding/onehot conditioning) is a *single* edit away from this file.
#
# Rationale for the choices below, from the runs already on record
# (analysis_runs/ + the `giant` W&B project):
#
# * flow, not wgan, for both stages. Ranking the five existing rollouts by
# mean Jensen-Shannon divergence against the Geant4 reference, the plain
# non-routed flow model wins (0.172) over the routed flow runs
# (0.197/0.200) and both WGAN runs (0.218/0.234) — and it beats them by
# ~7x on per-event total deposited energy and by 3-10x on every
# per-PDG marginal. WGAN stays a variant, not the reference.
#
# * no router. The routed runs are not better, and soft-mixing 10 small
# experts costs ~10x per-pass throughput at train time (29k samples/s vs
# the WGAN runs' 52-116k), which is what made those runs take ~110 h for
# 30 epochs.
#
# * hidden_dim 512 / 6 blocks per stage. The best-scoring rollout so far
# was hidden_dim 1024, but at 4x the trunk FLOPs of 512. 512/6 sits in
# the same weight class as the variants it will be compared against and
# leaves headroom to train it properly rather than cheaply.
#
# * dropout 0.0. Training set is ~5e8 steps against <1e7 parameters;
# capacity overfitting is not the binding constraint, and every recent
# run used 0.0.
#
# Known weak spots this baseline is expected to *exhibit* (they are the
# reason for the comparisons, not a reason to retune this file): every model
# on record under-produces steps per event by ~2x (rollout ~7e4 vs Geant4
# ~1.4e5) and secondaries per event by 2-3.5x (~2-3e4 vs 7.2e4), and n_sec
# head accuracy sits at 0.863-0.867 regardless of size or objective.

# The v0.3 pivot: autoregressive in descending-energy order with a

# secondary-species failure. Flow (not the schema default wgan) so the
# baseline varies only the decoder relative to the best v0.2 result.
#
# COST, measured (RTX 4070, bs 4096, 10 ODE steps), not estimated:
# sample.sample_secondaries_ar loops `for k in range(k_max)` unconditionally
# — all 15 slots regardless of predicted n_sec — so a flow AR token costs
# k_max * steps = 150 stage-2 calls per physics step. That makes this block
# the dominant cost on both sides:
# training flow AR 29.5k samp/s vs flow one-shot 190.7k samp/s (6.5x)
# inference flow AR 8.5k step/s vs flow one-shot 68.7k step/s (8.1x)
# Accepted deliberately: one-shot is the configuration whose secondary
# species distribution failed, and that failure is what v0.3 exists to fix.
