Measurement after C2: all 25 CLI modules transitively pull the SQLModel
ORM, and the table chain is a hub (one table loads the whole registry).
Most workers genuinely use the DB, so lazy imports only help the 2-3
DB-less workers. Consolidation (pay the 86MB floor once for the herd)
is the reliable ~600MB win — promoted from fallback to primary.
Fleet resident set ~2.57GB across 18 workers; ~1.5GB is the 86MB import
floor paid 18x. Pinned root cause: topology/__init__ eager re-export of
generate drags the full SQLModel ORM (26 tables, ~38MB) into every worker.
