by tarekziade

A fleet-wide `tmic shrink` pass over 192 fixtures surfaced 22 with findings, and this lands the rule-side fixes. The builder now constructs the original and shrunk stacks on the meta device and compares layer kinds (module classes plus `layer_type`), keeping the prefix up to each kind's first layer capped at 8 layers; that rescues kinds the config derives from the index, taking DeepSeek-V4 hash...

tmic shrink: show how a fixture was shrunk from its checkpoint huggingface/transformers-mic

by tarekziade

`tmic shrink [FIXTURE] [--open] [--json]` builds the source checkpoint and the fixture on the meta device from their configs, no weights downloaded, and writes a self-contained HTML page.
