R17
| Trigger | A swiGLU / gated FFN has intermediateSize that doesn't follow the common ~(2/3) × 4 × hidden convention used in LLaMA / Mistral. |
|---|---|
| Why | Param-count parity with standard FFN; mis-sized SwiGLU silently changes the FLOP and param budget. |

Why it is not a lint you can ignore
A structural mistake does not fail at review time and it does not fail at import
time. It fails when the module is constructed on the training node, after the job was queued and
the dataset was downloaded. That is why this runs before the spend and not after it.
