+architecture plus the fa_floret static vector table). It is metadata only; which vectors a
+model actually carries is decided at train time by `--paths.vectors`.
 
 All three are built from UD_Persian-PerDT alone, including the NER, which comes from that
 treebank's own `not-to-release/Dadegan with NER tag/` layer. That is what makes `core`

+"""Unpack a spaCy vectors-only wheel into a plain model directory.
+
+`spacy train --paths.vectors` wants a directory it can `spacy.load()`. The fa_floret wheel
+already contains exactly that (an empty pipeline carrying only vocab/vectors), it is just
+buried under the wheel's package layout, so this unwraps it rather than pip-installing a
+package whose only job is to hold a 57 MB array.
+
+Usage:
+  python scripts/unpack_vectors.py fa_floret-0.1.0-py3-none-any-400k-documents.whl \\
+      assets/vectors/fa_floret_400k
