Research direction

The payload shows only a ZModel sample (model … with …, type, mutation procedure) and a screenshot of GitHub's stale highlighting; no file is named. Start by locating the repo's TextMate/VS Code grammar for ZModel and comparing it with those newer constructs. Done means GitHub renders the constructs in the sample correctly, which usually means updating the grammar and getting the change into the grammar GitHub's Linguist uses.
