 - N7. The web serve page, the explorer's fit, the console's serve form: the same choice. Done 2026-10-30.
 - N8. `--context`/`--parallel` tied to `context_length`/`max_output`; `ctl model context` takes Strata.
+  `ctl model context` takes Strata (setup's `--context`), and `--max-output` changes the longest answer alone,

+  at what Strata's setup picks (4096 on cuda01) while the catalog says the model's trained context (32768), so
+  serve should write `--context` from `context_length`; and `--parallel`.
