+# Sequentially train the CPU-friendly subset of the manifest on the Pi.
+# Lambda is training the full set in parallel (~1.7h); this fills the
+# dashboard with multi-model numbers in ~30 min while we wait.
+#
+# Order: by job priority (GBT first, then KNN, then KNN-semi). Each
+# model is a subprocess so XGBoost/numpy/sklearn don't fight each
+# other for cores. After each finishes, we publish its model_metric
+# + model_perf (sticky tick) so scenes 8 & 12 light up incrementally.
+#
+# Skips any model whose checkpoint already exists (same idempotency
+# rule the lambda bootstrap uses).
