What landed last week across the modules. Glioma foundation model converged on the second corpus…

Short post this week — there is more to do than to write about. Highlights from the modules:

AURORA-GLIO

The foundation model converged on the second pre-training corpus. Eval on the held-out BraTS-style benchmark is in line with the v0 published numbers; ablations are uploading to the dashboard.

AURORA-HYDRO

The compartment model passed its first long-horizon test on a multi-year cohort. Calibration on revision risk is the next milestone.

AURORA-CRANIO

Forge UI rewrite landed. Surgeons asked for fewer comparisons and clearer reasons — both implemented.

Substrate

The federation runtime's signed-update path moved to a Rust implementation; throughput is up roughly 4× on the test mesh. DP budget UX is the next focus.
