+# Consumer Graph Fixture
+
+This fixture reproduces package-graph behavior that does not show up when building `mlx-audio-swift` by itself.
+
+It depends on:
+
+- the local package via `.package(path: "../..")`
+- `swift-transformers` from `1.3.0`
+- `mlx-swift-lm` from the `main` branch
+
+It intentionally depends on `MLXAudioTTS`, not just `MLXAudioCodecs`, because the current consumer-graph failure shows up while compiling the higher-level TTS target against that newer shared stack.
+
+Build it locally with:
+
+```sh
+swift build --package-path Integration/ConsumerGraphFixture
+```
+
+That same command is intended to run in CI as a regression check.
