+"""
+Co-activation expert clustering for flash-moe.
+
+Analyzes routing logs to find which experts are frequently co-activated,
+then rewrites packed expert files so co-activated experts are physically
+adjacent on disk. This improves cold SSD read throughput by ~38% for
+cache misses (measured: scattered=3.2GB/s, adjacent=4.4GB/s on M1 Pro).
+
+Usage:
+    # Step 1: Generate routing log during inference
+    ./infer --prompt "..." --tokens 200 --k 4 --collect-routing routing.bin
+
+    # Step 2: Analyze and cluster
+    python3 cluster_experts.py --routing routing.bin --packed-dir metal_infer/packed_experts
+
+    # Step 3: Verify
+    python3 cluster_experts.py --routing routing.bin --verify
