An import inside main() is invisible to a module-scope function in the same file, and this bit twice in a row for the same reason: the conversion to pollard_load put each import at the FIRST use it found, which happened to be inside main().

pollard_abliterate NameError: text_layers -- raised from abliterate()
pollard_probe NameError: text_layers -- raised from _linears()

Both only when the helper was reached outside main(), so a CLI run could look fine while a library call died. Fixing the first instance and not the rest is what let the second one happen.

Hoisted to module level in all ten tools that use it. pollard_flybrain stays lazy on purpose: pollard_load pulls in torch, and flybrain's optional-extra guard depends on torch not being required at import time.

A test walks every pollard_*.py and fails on an indented from pollard_load import, because this is the third variant of one mistake and pattern-matching it by hand clearly does not work.

59/59 pass.
