The whitepaper undersold the product (described a 2-layer-only trainer with multi-output/depth pending). Section 4 now reflects the current reality: (c) fully programmable trainer — any feed-forward topology, free input/output/hidden width AND arbitrary depth (2/3/4-layer), trainable biases, learning real tasks (~97% 2-layer / 98% 3-layer nonlinear, 93% multi-class); (d) correctness as a CI-enforced invariant (bit-exact spec→RTL over a full training run + synthesizability + one-shared-multiplier datapath invariant, on every PR). Section 5 honesty updated (version-specific cell counts = trend; the multi-output bug the gate caught+fixed; newest stack pending one JTAG re-connect). Docs only. Refs #1764
