# Slot: template_variants 


_Seeds that supersede ``template`` for one init variant, keyed by variant name. A file every study gets may still need different starting text once the variant says what kind of study this is — a replication's provenance note names a paper, and a general study has no paper to name — so stating only the difference keeps one entry per file rather than two that drift apart. The first selected variant naming a seed wins; absent means every variant starts from ``template``._
