+    All 20 algorithm ports print their configuration and return **with no model call
+    and no API key**. The eight benchmark-faithful ones return before touching data
     as well; the eleven `MethodPolicy` ports build their policy first, so one on
     a real benchmark downloads and caches its split during a dry run and says so.
