Direct evidence

The indexer owns a query projection from the query latent (32 heads × 128 features), one key projection from the block input followed by LayerNorm, and a head-weight projection; its score scale is 1/√128; the head-weight projection is kept in float32 when loading.

Direct evidence

Indexer queries and the shared key rotate their first 64 features with interleaved RoPE; scores are the ReLU of scaled query–key products in float32, weighted per head by the head weights divided by √32 and summed; the causal mask is added and the top 2,048 positions are kept. There is no Hadamard transform, and it runs without gradients.
