+- **L2 (GPU + CPU)** — leave Storage on `auto` (default). Cold KV pages spill to CPU pinned memory only. Use `direct` IO backend + `page_first_direct` or `layer-first` mem-layout.

 The Write policy knob defaults to `write_through` (the upstream default); switch to `write_back` / `write_through_selective` to trade durability for write speed when the storage tier is slow.
 
 For more details, see the [HiCache documentation](../../../docs/advanced_features/hicache).
