Deprecation policy — Mens native fine-tuning

Stable

• vox mens train with --backend lora and --backend qlora.
• vox schola merge-qlora (alias merge-adapter).
• vox mens merge-weights for Burn *.bin LoRA checkpoints.

Deprecated / transitional

• vox train --native-lora: use vox mens train --backend lora (stderr deprecation already emitted from dispatch).
• Backend-only mental model: prefer the contract fields (tokenizer mode, quant mode, adapter method) when scripting; CLI flags remain the user-facing surface until a preset/JSON contract ships.

Timeline

• No CLI flags removed in this iteration; aliases added (merge-adapter).
• Future removal of legacy paths will be announced in this doc + mens-training.md with one release notice.
