19. Model Lifecycle

The full timeline of a model from idea to retirement. Children are an ordered lifecycle: research → data prep → training → post-training → evaluation → deployment → inference → monitoring → update → deprecation → retirement. It's a meta-branch — it sequences activities defined in detail elsewhere into a managed end-to-end process. The value is the temporal/operational view rather than new concepts.
