Sources

The sources of this manual, in order of authority.

When two sources disagree, the one higher on this list wins, and the page says so.

1. Our runs

Every number marked as measured comes from runs that we recorded on one NVIDIA DGX Spark with a GB10 GPU, from 2026-10-17 to 2026-10-22. The lab notes list the runs, the image, and the timing rule.

2. The Miles code we ran

Every flag and default that a page names comes from the Miles code inside the image we ran: Miles main from 2026-10-15. We checked the parts that pages depend on against Miles main from 2026-10-20.

3. Miles documentation and release notes

Documented behavior comes from the Miles documentation and the release notes of v0.1.0, v0.1.1, and v0.1.2. Where the documentation and the code disagree, we follow the code. One example: the help text of the custom reward flag shows a plain function, and the code needs an async one.

4. The Miles issue tracker

The troubleshooting entries that we did not reproduce come from reports in the Miles issue tracker. Each one is marked as a report, not as our result.
