Modalities (capability-gated)

Text checkpoint Tier 1 does not imply vision or audio quality. Vision present=true on a pack is not a quality pass.

Modality	Claim	Supported	Reason
Vision	`smoke-certified`	`true`	vision runtime smoke passed on df-macstudio-m2 (mlx-vlm); quality suite not certified. Evidence: /Users/akiralam/code/axquant/docs/certifications/evidence/modality-recert-macstudio-m2/results/qwen3-vl-30b-axq6.json
Audio	`not-applicable`	`false`	audio not supported (no tower config and no sidecar weights)
