Landing blocker for #61 and #63: the deployment checkout is 12 commits behind and
`merge --ff-only` refuses while tracked paths are dirty. Discard is not available here
(workspace policy: no `checkout`/`stash` on shared state), so the dirt is committed.
- `agent/APPEND_SYSTEM.md`: the point-of-use / one-work-log / PR-link doctrine, already
byte-identical to `origin/main` (`cmp` against the trunk blob: no difference). No new
prose — the commit exists so the trunk merge can proceed.
- `agent/config.yml` and `agent/managed-skills/**`: the machine-live tier the heartbeat
owns (AGENTS.md § Live-sync tiers).
`ALLOW_SECRETS=1` was used, deliberately and after auditing the staged diff by hand: the
only credential-shaped strings in it are two copies of `AKIA0000000000000EXAMPLE` — the
inert all-zero AWS example id — and they appear inside the two skill pages that teach
that exact placeholder shape. This checkout is still running the pre-#61 hook; the merged
gate (value-scoped placeholder filter, `71601f7`) exempts this value, so the refusal
dies with this landing. No `--no-verify` was used: the gate ran and its verdict is
recorded here.
Refs #61
Uncommitted machine/session edits (live config, models, docs drift) were
blocking the merge of origin/main. Committed as-is to preserve them; the
merge that follows resolves overlapping prose files toward upstream
canonical, with local variants recoverable from this commit. Pre-merge
copies also in .AGENTTRASH/pre-merge-2026-10-18/.
- task.agentModelOverrides.scout: "@smol" (frank-small, xhigh thinking)
- task.maxConcurrency: 2 (semaphore on ACTIVE subagents; total
instantiations uncapped)
- compaction.remoteEndpoint -> frank-medium /v1/chat/completions
(192.168.0.235:7770), methodOrder remote-first; compactionModel:
frank-medium on every model so the wire model id is always valid
- models.yml header: single source of truth (pi-era import retired)
Verified: omp config get on all keys; omp -p startup probe passed;
live POST in the remote-compaction wire format answered.
config.yml: vision -> llamacpp (dankclaw)/frank-large:auto,
tiny -> llamacpp (dankserver)/frank-small:off,
task -> llamacpp (dankclaw)/frank-large:medium (was flm dankclaw-npu),
matching the flm (dankclaw-npu) provider removal in models.yml.
Memories/managed skills: rollouts and learned notes from the frank-large
KV-pool + sampler work and the noctalia recolor; merged the duplicate
noctalia-palette-recolor skill into noctalia-custom-palette-recolor (adds
the dotfiles-tracking step and the +show-config delta gotcha) and dropped
the superseded legacy memory skills whose ghostty USR1 reload recipe is
wrong for this fleet.
