SSC 2026 — Will unlisted .mlmodel cause build failure?

Hi, I submitted my Swift Student Challenge 2026 app and I'm worried about a build error I got when testing.

I have both PlateClassifier_2.mlmodel and PlateClassifier_2.mlmodelc in my Sources folder. Only the .mlmodelc is listed in my Package.swift resources. When building I got:

PlateClassifier_2.mlmodel: No predominant language detected. Set COREML_CODEGEN_LANGUAGE to preferred language.
Build failed — 1 error

Will judges hit this same error? Does having an unlisted .mlmodel alongside the .mlmodelc cause a hard build failure on other machines too, or is this specific to my setup (Xcode 26.2 beta, building to physical device)?

Will this get me instantly disqualified? Any help appreciated.
