Rating note

A Rust/Wayland port of DesktopFly that carries the neuron model over intact: the same 668-neuron FlyWire circuit as a leaky integrate-and-fire sim with a 0.9512 per-ms decay (20 ms tau), unit threshold, 2 ms refractory, an inhibition floor and a delayed-inhibition window that the comments explain is what lets the giant fibre fire before feedforward inhibition arrives. It ships an invariant suite run against the real data (GF silent over 4 s at rest, firing 4 ms after an abrupt loom). L1. Not L2: the weight array is filled once when the CSR graph is built from circuit.json and never touched again, and a grep across every .rs file for plasticity, STDP, dopamine, training or a learning rate returns nothing. Nothing in this project learns; the behaviours the README lists all fall out of fixed circuit dynamics.
