+// This encodes a deliberate assumption: a directory holds one logical
+// model, so every .safetensors file in a directory is treated as a shard of the
+// same modeland merged into one package.
+// The trade-off is that if a directory happens to contain several unrelated models,
+// they are merged into one package rather than reported separately.
+// We accept that because the conventional on-disk layout gives each model
+// (with all of its shards) its own directory.
+// We have no reliable per-file signal to tell co-located-but-independent models apart.
