xAI shipped the names of every knob. They withheld the values. Which mistake is that?

When xAI open-sourced their For You ranker on 2026-05-15, they redacted every numeric weight, every threshold, every Kafka topic, every config string — but they left every symbol name in source. For a serious competitor, the list of names is the more useful artifact. So either someone messed up, or that was always the plan.
