Quick question for Kestrel TSR 1.0 owners: cable routing

Checking here before going into the maintenance forum....couldn't find anything to answer my specific question in search...or on the whole inter webs.

Have a TSR 1.0 frame I picked up....pretty similar to my tri Talon SL frame, but some slight mold differences. Getting ready to build it up, but the holes for internal frame building do not have built-in frame stops. When I got the frame, it only had one cable stop in the whole frame (removable). I initially thought I would just run full cable housings throughout the length....certainly works for the brakes.

For anyone that has a TSR 1.0 -- for the Derailleur cables.....can you tell me if you have cable stops at every frame entry/exit point, or (especially in the case of the rear derailleur), did the factory build the bike with one continuous cable housing all the way to the RD attachment point? I picked up some Jagwire Road XL to be able to do that.... Theoretically, so long as there is a hard stop at the shifter and and hard stop at the RD.....the cable could still function / move within the housing.

Otherwise, that RD cable would need to be 4 different segments / with cable stop inserts.

Thanks! Looking forward to building it up.
