Slim fixture: granite-docling-258M-mic

A 6.7M-parameter fixture for the GraniteDocling MIC, covering ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M. It is a test artifact, not a usable model, tagged test-artifact to keep it out of candidate-model search.

• Fixture key c2405c40eb67. It covers every checkpoint whose processor files are byte-identical and whose config matches after shrinking.
• Same architecture, smaller config: Idefics3ForConditionalGeneration, shrunk by the generic rule in sweep.py (vision num_hidden_layers 2, text num_hidden_layers 2).
• Processor files copied byte for byte from ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M: added_tokens.json, chat_template.jinja, generation_config.json, granite_docling.png, merges.txt, preprocessor_config.json, processor_config.json, special_tokens_map.json, tokenizer.json, tokenizer_config.json, vocab.json.
• Random weights (seed 17). They passed the input-sensitivity gate: every perturbation of the contract's inputs moved the logits by at least 0.001 (weakest: pixel_values:halve, 0.131), so no training was needed.
• Same tensor names as the real checkpoint. The real checkpoint has every parameter, and so does the fixture.
• Saved in bfloat16, the dtype ibm-granite/granite-docling-258M loads in by default.
• Finite in float32, bfloat16, and float16 (forward, loss, gradients).

Built by build_fixtures.py; build.json records the pinned sources, gate results, and file hashes. This repository includes the slim weights, usage and framework expectations; rebuild the other files with python example/build_fixtures.py --fixture granite-docling-258M-mic.
