Audit §3.3 (exporter-parity investigation, Claim 4). The parity claim is the product, so an over-claim a prospect can falsify is exactly the trust-killer to remove.

README:459 claimed cos=+1.0000000 on six VLA families including DreamZero and OpenVLA. Verified against the code:

  • DreamZeroexporters/dreamzero.py:91 returns status="config_only"; DiT ONNX export explicitly deferred (:94,108). No ONNX.
  • OpenVLAexporters/openvla.py:92,99 raise NotImplementedError (points to optimum-cli). No Tether ONNX.

Only SmolVLA, pi0, pi0.5, GR00T N1.6 have a verified cos=1.0 Tether ONNX export — matching the hero paragraph (line 14, already "ALL four major open VLAs") and the parity table. Corrected line 459 to four verified families; DreamZero/OpenVLA described accurately as supported-but-not-yet-ONNX-verified.

Doc-only, zero code risk.

Audit §3.3 (exporter-parity investigation, Claim 4).

README:459 claimed "cos=+1.0000000 on six VLA families" including DreamZero and
OpenVLA. But:
- DreamZero export is config-only — exporters/dreamzero.py:91 returns
  status="config_only"; the DiT ONNX export is explicitly deferred (:94,108).
- OpenVLA has no Tether ONNX path — exporters/openvla.py:92,99 raise
  NotImplementedError (points users at optimum-cli + a postprocess helper).

Only SmolVLA, pi0, pi0.5, and GR00T N1.6 have a verified cos=1.0 Tether ONNX
export (matching the hero paragraph at line 14, which already says "ALL four
major open VLAs", and the parity table). Corrected line 459 to claim four
verified families and describe DreamZero/OpenVLA accurately as supported-but-
not-yet-ONNX-verified.
