Semantic models cover 55 languages; Norwegian Bokmål arrives

The registry adds Norwegian Bokmål, with nb converted from fastText’s cc.no while nn keeps cc.nn, for a total of 55 languages and 165 tiered models behind the same eval gates.

  1. Registry v1.3.0 ships nb × 3 tiers — mini 2.9 MiB, fluency 14.5 MiB, full 114.4 MiB — bringing the registry to 55 languages, 165 resources, and 7.1 GiB at ONNX opset 11, behind the same measured per-tier evals that gate every other language.
  2. fastText publishes no cc.nb: the nb models are converted from cc.no and carry Bokmål provenance — models/nb/metadata.json records the source URL and sha256 of cc.no.300.vec — while nn ships separately from cc.nn, so both written standards of Norwegian are in the registry under their own codes.
  3. The registry itself carries no no entries: the ISO macro-language code resolves to nb on the engine side, and that alias — with the Norwegian language module — is next-cut gem work, not part of 0.8.0.
  4. That answers the no→nb/nn question this record left as an owner decision at v1.2.0, and it exhausts the convertible pool: what remains — fi sourcing and the nds resource-spec call — is owner decision, not pending work.
