[SUGGESTION] The allowed dtype set is now spelled out in three places that must stay in lockstep: this Literal, the identical Literal on DASCConfig.decay_parameter_storage_dtype (line 89), and _STORAGE_DTYPES in policy.py. If a future dtype is added to either Literal but not to the dict, _STORAGE_DTYPES[policy.decay_parameter_storage_dtype] raises a bare KeyError from inside validate_dasc_decay_parameters / build_dasc_policy instead of a config-validation error — a drift that pydantic can't catch.

A single alias in config.py used by both fields removes two of the three copies:

DecayParameterStorageDtype = Literal["float16", "bfloat16", "float32"]

and policy.py can then key _STORAGE_DTYPES off typing.get_args(DecayParameterStorageDtype) (or simply assert the sets match at import) so the mapping cannot silently fall behind.

[SUGGESTION] The and not all(isinstance(...)) clause in this comprehension can never be false here, so it is a dead condition.

This block only runs inside if not modules:, and modules is built from _is_gdn_module == _has_supported_gdn_identity(...) and <both tensors present>. So if modules is empty, any module that passes _has_supported_gdn_identity necessarily failed the tensor check — the second half of the predicate is always True. It also re-implements the tensor check that now lives in _is_gdn_module, so the two can drift (e.g. if _is_gdn_module later also requires a floating-point dtype, this branch's message would become wrong).

Suggested simplification:

    if not modules:
        missing_decay_parameters = [
            name or "<root>"
            for name, module in named_modules
            if _has_supported_gdn_identity(module, supported_classes)
        ]

Behavior is identical, and the tensor predicate stays in one place.

Separately (not a regression, pre-existing): when some GDN modules have the tensors and one does not, the one without is silently dropped from the policy rather than reported here. That is self-consistent with validate_dasc_model_structure (both use the same filter), so it fails safe — just worth being deliberate about.

Addressed in #2384. Supported identities are now collected once and every matched identity is checked for A_log and dt_bias before any layer is accepted. The duplicated dead predicate is removed, and a mixed valid-plus-malformed model test proves the malformed layer cannot be silently omitted.

raise ApplyModeError(
"DASC found supported GDN modules without A_log and dt_bias tensors at: "
f"{', '.join(missing_decay_parameters)}"

Validate all supported GDN modules before filtering valid modules.

_get_gdn_modules checks missing_decay_parameters only when its valid-module collection is empty. A model with one valid supported GDN and one supported GDN missing A_log or dt_bias therefore calibrates and exports a policy containing only the valid module. Move this validation before if not modules, and add a mixed-model test.

supported-GDN validation in _get_gdn_modules must run before filtering or
returning the valid module collection, so any supported module missing A_log or
dt_bias raises ApplyModeError even when other supported modules are valid. Move
the missing_decay_parameters check ahead of the `if not modules` branch and add
coverage for a mixed model containing both valid and invalid supported GDN

[SUGGESTION] This docstring is now stale: the function no longer bounds "one storage cast". _storage_rounding_radius composes the declared-storage cast with the live-materialization cast, which is the whole point of this PR, and a reader who trusts the docstring will mis-read why two inversions are applied.

Suggested change
"""Bound horizons compatible with the current parameters before one storage cast."""
"""Bound horizons compatible with the current parameters across the declared storage and live casts."""

Also worth double-checking the ordering intent is documented somewhere: reversed(cast_dtypes) inverts tensor.dtype first and storage_dtype second, which is correct only because the observed value is round_live(round_storage(x)). That is subtle enough that the reversal deserves the one-line explanation, either here or in _storage_rounding_radius.

[SUGGESTION] The rejection message a few lines below ("DASC policy horizons do not match current decay parameters in layer {name!r}") doesn't mention the tolerance that produced it, which makes the new strict-FP32 default hard to diagnose.

Before this PR the bound unconditionally granted FP16+BF16 slack; now a policy that omits decay_parameter_storage_dtype gets FP32-only slack. The most likely real-world failure is exactly that: someone calibrated with the default, saved the checkpoint in BF16, and now sees "horizons do not match current decay parameters" with no hint that a config knob controls the tolerance — and since restore_dasc_model requires config and policy to agree on the field, the only remedy is recalibration. Naming the declared dtype turns a dead end into a self-service fix:

            raise ApplyModeError(
                f"DASC policy horizons do not match current decay parameters in layer {name!r} "
                f"within the declared {policy.decay_parameter_storage_dtype} storage and "
                f"{modules[name].A_log.dtype} live rounding bounds"
            )

The math itself checks out: for the documented flow (declare the checkpoint dtype, then round-trip) the composed bound covers the true error in every combination I traced — fp32→bf16→fp32, fp32→fp16→fp16, fp32→fp16→bf16, and the dedup case where storage equals the live dtype.
