// The trained sparse/residual world model, running in the browser.
//
// This is a port of `models/sparse_residual.py` (gate + delta head) and of
// `build_object_features_contact` in `experiments/train_sparse_model.py`, driven by the
// weights `experiments/export_web_model.py` exports from a real checkpoint. The models are
// two-layer MLPs of a few thousand parameters, so the whole forward pass is a handful of
// matrix multiplies and needs no runtime, no WASM, and no network beyond the weight file.
//
// It has to be an exact port, not a lookalike: `tests/test_web_export.py` runs this file
// under node against outputs recorded from PyTorch and requires agreement to 1e-4. A
// transposed weight or a mis-ordered feature block would still produce plausible-looking
// gates on screen, which is exactly the kind of quiet wrongness this project exists to
// complain about.
