ADR-0002: Separate model, artifact and deployment concepts

Status: Accepted

Decision

Represent upstream logical models, immutable revisions, concrete/downloaded artifacts, derived artifacts, runtime profiles and deployments as distinct entities.

Rationale

Performance and compatibility depend on much more than a model name. Quantization, runtime, context settings, launch parameters and exact revision can materially change memory use, speed and output.
