"project": "Model Atlas — Cross-Attention Canonical Module Page",
"branchName": "cross-attention-module-page",
"description": "Redirect the next low-collision customer-visible refill away from tokenizer-family pages by publishing one canonical English
cross-attentionmodule page, backed by registry data and localized messages, so readers can discover a missing core transformer mechanism through attention-focused search, tags, and related docs, understand how queries read from a different memory than the source sequence, and continue into nearby architecture and attention-variant pages.","context": {
"customerAsk": "Redirect the next low-collision customer-visible refill away from tokenizer-family pages because
unigram-tokenizer-pageis terminal in factory state but not actually landed on currentmain. Publish the canonical Englishcross-attentionmodule page with the matching registry record, English messages, any minimal local assets, and only the focused discovery and validation work needed for route, registry, and related-doc or search behavior. The page must explain in plain language how queries attend to a separate memory source, compare clearly against nearby attention variants, stay English-only, and avoid locale infrastructure, runtime redesign, or unrelated taxonomy churn beyond what is required to land the page cleanly.","problem": "The site already has nearby attention and architecture pages, but it still lacks a canonical
cross-attentionmodule page on currentmain. That leaves a hole in the attention family for readers who search directly for cross-attention or need a plain-language explanation of how one sequence can query a different memory source in encoder-decoder or multimodal systems. Because the tokenizer family is not cleanly converged onmain, the next customer-visible refill should not extend tokenizer work. Without a dedicated registry-backed page, search, tags, and related-doc surfaces cannot reliably route readers to a stable explanation that distinguishes cross-attention from self-attention, causal attention, and bidirectional attention.","solution": "Publish a registry-backed
cross-attentionmodule page with English-only localized content, the standard module-page structure, and the minimum page-local assets needed to teach the mechanism clearly. Add the matching module record, aliases, tags, citations, groupings, and related IDs required for attention-family discovery, and add only focused validation for the route, page contract, and page-specific discovery behavior."},
"acceptanceCriteria": [
"A published canonical docs page exists at
/docs/modules/cross-attentionwith a matching module registry record, English messages, and only the page-local assets needed to teach the topic clearly.","The page follows the canonical docs writing standards with one concise
openingSummary, plain-language explanation, clear acronym expansion, and no page-meta or process language.","The page explains what problem cross-attention solves, how queries attend to a different memory than the source sequence, and how that differs from ordinary self-attention behavior.",
"Attention-focused discovery surfaces can route readers into the page through route resolution, tags, aliases, search metadata, and related-doc wiring.",
"The page includes the graph, equation, and comparison support that materially improves understanding of cross-attention and follows the module template plus graphing standards.",
