+"""Spider: MoE + RDT (Recurrent-Depth Transformer) architecture v5.
+
+Canonical architecture ported from mythos-fineweb-moe.py (SpiderPortal v5-Dense)
+with the following adaptations per Phase 02 decisions:
+
+- Full Spider rebrand (no SpiderPortal/SpiderPortal prefix) per D-07
+- Byte-level vocab: 272 tokens (256 bytes + 16 specials) per D-06
+- MLA (Multi-Latent Attention) with compressed KV cache per D-10
+- Engram conditional memory at recurrent layers 1 and 4
+- MoE: 16 routed experts + 1 shared expert, top-1 routing
+- Sliding window attention (sliding_window=8192) with 256k context (YaRN factor=8.0)
+- Weight-tied embeddings per v5 canonical config (tie_word_embeddings=True)
+- LTI Injection + ACT Halting + LoRA Adapter for RDT loops
+- BoundaryPredictor + downsample/upsample for FlexiToken integration
+- 272-token byte-level vocab with sentinel tokens for multimodal (D-11)
+
+Architecture: RDT (2 prelude + 6 recurrent + 2 coda) with:
+  - 2x Prelude (MLA + dense FFN)
+  - 6x Recurrent (MLA + Engram@L1,L4 + MoE) -- with gradient checkpointing
+  - 2x Coda (MLA + dense FFN)
+  - LTI Injection + ACT Halting + LoRA Adapter
+
+Config: hidden_size=2048, 6 recurrent layers, 32 experts, top-2 routing
