+  #     the wildcard routed every unmatched / typo'd / stale model name to a DEAD
+  #     backend → a misleading "Connection error" instead of a clean "model not
+  #     found". This is the footgun that silently swallowed Worldtree's defunct
+  #     model names. Removed so unknown models now fail loudly (404). Re-add an
+  #     explicit per-model entry if a swappable zoo ever returns. ---
