+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// This is the one place in the rebuilt rules where a capability is calculated rather than stated.
+/// Mistral names its models after the month they came out, and the same family name stands for
+/// models which can and cannot see -- so nothing a pattern could match on tells them apart.
+///
+/// What makes it worth its own tests is that model names are full of four-digit numbers which are
+/// not dates: parameter counts, context sizes, versions. Reading one of those as a release would
+/// silently promise image input for a model which has none.
