+#=  This extension is intentionally minimal. `stFlux`'s device transfer is
+    handled generically by `Functors.@functor stFlux (mainChain,)` plus 
+    Flux's own `gpu`/`cpu` - no CUDA-specific code is needed here for that. 
+    `ConvFFT`'s actual CUDA-specific behavior already lives entirely in 
+    FourierFilterFlux's own CUDAExt, and gets inherited automatically once 
+    FourierFilterFlux is loaded.
+
+    This file's real job is triggering activation: `[extensions] CUDAExt =
+    ["CUDA", "cuDNN", "cuFFT"]` in Project.toml means all three must be
+    loaded before this extension (and therefore this package's CUDA support)
+    activates at all, so this `using` line is what actually makes that
+    happen, not a formality. It also guarantees FourierFilterFlux's and
+    ContinuousWavelets' own CUDA extensions are active by the time anything
+    in ScatteringTransform runs on the GPU, since their trigger sets
+    (CUDA+cuFFT, and CUDA+cuDNN+cuFFT, respectively) are subsets of this one. =#

+        `averagingLength`, `frameBound`, ...) because `waveletLayer` funnels 
+        its `varargs...` there. There is no wavelet in the 2D path at all, the
+        monogenic bank is built from the Riesz kernel and Gaussian high/low
+        passes, so those arguments have no 2D meaning.
