+"""Per-transponder memory maps + the live relevance hint.
+
+The point of rawcli isn't just to send bytes — it's to tell you what they *mean* on the tag in
+front of you. ``page_role`` maps a page/block number to its role on the identified transponder
+(user memory, CC, AUTH0, PWD, lock bytes, …), and ``input_hint`` turns the current input line into
+a one-line relevance hint for the prompt's bottom bar: the command's purpose, and — when you've
+typed a page argument — where that page lives.
+
+Layouts mirror the transponder models' page attributes (``_cfg0_page`` etc.); kept static to
+avoid an import-order circular, with a test guarding against drift.
