Proposed fix: [coremltools] "float16 dtype for inputs is only supported for deployment target >= iOS16/macOS13" (int8 I/O needs iOS26)
Recommended action: Set minimum_deployment_target=ct.target.iOS16 (or macOS13) for fp16 I/O; keep fp32 I/O otherwise.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
