Neural audio route vectors

One vector for each capability whose payload SPEC §5 pins (Payloads of the neural audio codecs): wai.neural.encodec24, wai.neural.encodec48, wai.neural.dac16 and wai.neural.dac24. They hold the route of the reference sink (neural/audio.rs) to the pinned layout and decode; tests/neural_audio_vectors.rs decodes them.

Provenance. Generated by tools/wai_neural_audio_vectors.py from fixed dyadic parameters and SplitMix64 codes (seeds 1 to 4). No audio and no model weights: each decoder has its model's geometry and contract, not its network. Apache-2.0, as the repository.

Each directory holds:

• decoder.onnx — a small decoder with the model's codebook count Q, codebooks of 1024, a hop of 320 and its channels: inputs audio_codes (int64 [1, 1, Q, T]) and audio_scales (float [1]), output audio_values (float [1, C, T·320 − d], d = 8 for the two DAC models, else 0). A code c of codebook i adds c·A[i] + B[i] to its frame's latent z, a row holding 1024 adds nothing, and sample k of the frame on channel ch is tanh(z·W[ch][k]) times the scale. A, B and W are dyadic, so every value before the tanh is exact in binary32.
• vector.wai — a WAI1 envelope of the capability, pinned to decoder.onnx, whose payload carries fewer codebooks than the model holds (all 32 for dac24), so the route must mark the others unused; encodec48 carries two chunks with scales 0.75 and 0.5, its last chunk six frames.
• expected.f32 — the decode at the samples meta.json selects (every one, or for encodec48 every sixteenth and every one in the chunks' overlap), each sample's channels in order, as little-endian binary32. The generator computes it itself, in Python, from the payload and the decoder's parameters: the second implementation of the route.
• meta.json — the capability, its geometry, the payload's shape, the selection rule and the decoder's SHA-256.

The reference's decode is within 10⁻⁵ of expected.f32 (the decoder's tanh is the runtime's). python3 -I tools/wai_neural_audio_vectors.py --check rebuilds every file and compares: the decoders and envelopes byte for byte, expected.f32 within 10⁻⁶.
