+"""Guide rails: help that scales with the model, in two layers.
+
+SUPPORT (every model, Claude included - it checks and helps, it never narrows what the model sees or may answer):
+  page_picking      the pages for this part's package, widened when the answer is incomplete (ds_route)
+  checks_gate       datasheet's schema_check, sanity, check_pins and self_check decide; nothing is corrected
+  feedback_retry    one more turn with the checks' exact errors when an answer fails them ([ai] feedback_retry)
+  escalation        more pages / the next model of [datasheet] ladder when the checks fail (ds_route)
+  units_in_code     inch / mil -> mm conversion done by our code, never by the model
+  geometry_in_code  pads, courtyard and silkscreen computed by footprint_gen from the dimensions read
+  provenance        which model, profile and rails produced each part, in the sidecar and review.md
+
+CAPABILITY (what the endpoint cannot take, adapted; any tier):
+  pdf_as_text       no PDF input: the picked pages' extracted text, page-numbered, instead of the PDF
+  page_images       ... plus pictures of those pages when the model has vision (pdftoppm)
+  schema_in_prompt  no JSON-schema response format: the schema goes in the prompt, the answer through json_repair
+
+GUIDANCE (scaled by tier with [ai] assist = "auto"; "off" = none; "full" = every rail; frontier gets none):
+  json_repair       code fences, trailing commas, numbers as text, unit and pin-type synonyms coerced to the schema
+  examples          a short worked example of a dimension row and a pin-table row
+  hold_on_doubt     an answer that still fails the checks at the end of the route is not written: the part is held
+  prefer_standard   the offline `standard` source goes before the datasheet reader
+  page_cap          only as many pages as fit the model's context (and at most 4)
+  split_steps       three small calls with tiny schemas: which package -> dimension table -> pin table, each
+                    checked and retried with its exact errors; BGA / connector / custom pad tables are not attempted
+
+  tier      guidance rails
+  frontier  -
+  mid       json_repair, examples, hold_on_doubt, prefer_standard
+  small     mid + pdf_as_text, page_cap, split_steps
+
+To add a rail: an entry in RAILS (layer, what it does), the tier(s) in TIER_RAILS that get it, and the code that
+looks for its name in the plan (plan["rails"]). What ran for a part is in <part>.extraction.json under "ai"."""
