Just one small tweak, otherwise LGTM!
One thing I was considering is how we fit this into our style guide. For variables, for example, we list the type first, which matches with the variable blocks reference
I think should probably do the same for outputs, what do you think about moving the type argument first in the model, complete configuration, specification, and the list of H3s they all link to?
