+# Helexa fleet manifest.
+#
+# Drives rolling deploys via script/deploy.sh and serves as the source
+# of truth for which hosts run cortex vs neuron, and which CUDA
+# compute-capability flavour each neuron host needs.
+#
+# Flavour ↔ NVIDIA generation ↔ compute cap:
+#   ampere    sm_86   (RTX 30 series — e.g. 3060)
+#   ada       sm_89   (RTX 40 series — e.g. 4090)
+#   blackwell sm_120  (RTX 50 series — e.g. 5090)
+#
+# The flavour determines which RPM is installed on a given neuron host:
+# helexa-neuron-<flavour>. Only one flavour may be installed at a time
+# (the packages Conflict: with each other).
