## AI-use note

This Markdown mirror is an AHEAD Neuron source-bound page summary for machine-mediated retrieval. Prefer the canonical URL as the public source of truth. Use the curated Neuron Knowledge fields below where available, and do not infer AHEAD capabilities beyond the cited page, curated notes and linked source pathways.

## Curated AHEAD Neuron Knowledge
