fix(dankvoice): pin thinking off in rewrite, fix silent and timeout modes

Refs #32 The humanizer's raw fetch to frank-zealot omitted chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking: false, so the Qwen35 hybrid thought instead of answering (6.9 s reasoning_content, empty content - timing out the 6 s abort; or answering "" and muting the unit). Pin the kwarg, treat empty-content-with-reasoning as failure over silence, and stop the menu's test phrase from blocking its handler. Three red-captured regressions; 26/26 green, verified red against HEAD.

+name: audit-never-run-container-deploy
+description: "Audit a locally built podman/quadlet deploy path that has never actually run: prove base-image assumptions, env-file reader divergence, and image-hash coverage before the first deploy."
+---
+
+# Audit a never-run container deploy path
+
+A deployable that has never been built or started has never been *executed*: every
+fault in it is invisible to tests that stub the runtime. Audit it as static code
+against the tools it calls, then prove each suspicion cheaply against the real
+tool. The faults worth hunting are the ones that **report success while doing
+nothing** — those are the ones that survive a green `/health` and a green e2e run.
+
+## The three fault classes (all measured 2026-10-18, frank-tts-engine)
+
+1. **A command the base image does not ship.** e.g. `adduser` in a `RUN` line
+   against a trimmed `ubuntu:24.04` — absent, and not pulled in by
+   `ca-certificates curl libgomp1`. Dies at build time (loud), but only the first
+   time anyone builds it.
+   Prove it in the base, never from memory:
+   `podman run --rm <base> sh -c "command -v adduser || echo absent; useradd --system --uid 10000 --home-dir /app --shell /usr/sbin/nologin tts && id tts"`
+   Note the accepted cosmetic warning (`uid 10000 is greater than SYS_UID_MAX 999`)
+   in a comment, or a future agent "fixes" it by dropping `--system` and the uid
+   stops matching the sibling container.
+2. **Two readers of one env file disagree.** systemd units that pass
+   `EnvironmentFile=` hand it to podman `--env-file`, which does **no shell
+   parsing** — it takes the literal remainder of the line — while bash `source`
+   strips one quoting layer. So `WARM_TEXT="Warm up, one two three."` reaches the
+   container *with its quotes*, and a script that interpolates it into a JSON body
+   produces invalid JSON: the container boots, `active`, every voice registered,
+   every voice cold. Fix in the consumer: strip exactly one matched pair **only**
+   when both ends are the same quote AND the inner content carries another quote or
+   backslash (never mangle a value that legitimately contains quotes), then escape.
+3. **A build-skip hash that under-covers the image.** `build_compose_image`-style
+   helpers skip `podman build` when a label hash matches; hashing the `Containerfile`
+   alone means editing a `COPY`'d app/script rebuilds **nothing** — deploy reports
+   success, `/health` answers, container serves old code. Each case arm must name
+   the paths its `Containerfile` copies (`extra=(…)`) and hash Containerfile+extras.
+   Arms that have no extras keep their old hash, so they do not needlessly rebuild.
+
+## Test it as behaviour, never as a grep of the handler
+
+- Drive the **real** function: `awk '/^build_compose_image\(\) \{/,/^\}/' deploy-remote.sh > bci.sh`,
+  `source` it, put a stub `podman` first on `PATH`, assert the observable question —
+  *did the deploy ask podman to build, or did it skip?*
+- Stub traps that cost real time: podman is invoked `podman image inspect <image> --format …`
+  so the tag is **`$3`**, not `$2`; tags contain `/` so a state file named after one
+  needs `${tag//\//_}` or the write silently lands in a nonexistent directory and
+  every image looks permanently unbuilt; `--label cfhash=…` arrives **before** `-t <tag>`,
+  so collect the label and write it after the arg loop.
+- For an env-file bug, write one test that reads the file **both** ways — `source`
+  and the `--env-file` way (parse `KEY=literal remainder`) — and assert the program
+  receives the same value in both shapes, including a value that carries its own
+  quotes and a backslash. A suite that only sources the file is how the bug shipped.
+- Prove red: `git show HEAD:scripts/deploy-remote.sh > scripts/deploy-remote.sh`,
+  run the new test (must fail at the exact intended step), restore. Keep each fix in
+  its own commit and run the seam at each one so the branch bisects.
+
+## Base-image and host facts to check while auditing
+
+- `useradd` lives in `login(1)` (base carries it); `adduser` does not.
+- Rootless podman **cannot raise rlimits** — `--ulimit nofile=…` above the host hard
+  limit dies at container create, not at runtime.
+- A referenced `Network=` `.network` file the generator cannot find means the
+  container unit is **not produced at all**.
+- Two containers talk by DNS name only if they attach to a **common** network;
+  check both unit files rather than trusting a comment that says they share one.
+- Container DNS name + the network that owns it, never `host.containers.internal`
+  or a published loopback port, for service-to-service traffic.
+
+## Do not
+
+- Do not deploy the audited thing because the audit is finished: first build of a
+  heavy image (recursive source clone ~10 min) plus a new unit on a host serving
+  people is the operator's call.
+- Do not add a Prometheus target for a container with no `/metrics` — say the probe
+  is a decision (blackbox HTTP), do not fake a scrape.

+description: "Cap and diagnose runaway or hung omp subagents: task.maxRuntimeMs, softRequestBudget, maxConcurrency, maxRecursionDepth (the 0-trap), per-provider in-flight ceilings."

-# Bounding subagent runtime (omp harness)
+## When
+Subagent runs long, fan out too wide, or you must (re)declare the fleet's subagent limit policy. Also when asked "what limits can subagents have".

-Use when a `task`/`eval` subagent runs absurdly long (tens of minutes on a small job),
-when it **finishes its deliverable and still never exits**, when you want a hard cap
-before spawning, or when you must tell a busy agent to stop.
+## Read first
+- Repo KB page `omp-docs/pi/subagent-limits.md` — the live policy of record (values + rationale + deliberately-not-set list). Do not re-derive; read it.
+- `cfg://task` and `cfg://providers/maxInFlightRequests` — effective values, not the stock defaults.

-## The knobs (`cfg://task/...`)
-
-| Key | Default | Meaning |
+## The knobs (cfg:// writes; `/save` suffix persists)
+| Knob | Effect | Gotcha |
 |---|---|---|
-| `maxRuntimeMs` | `0` (unlimited) | **Hard wall-clock limit per subagent (ms).** The only true time cap. |
-| `softRequestBudget` | `200` | Soft cap on assistant **requests** per run; force-stop at **1.5×**. |
-| `softRequestBudgetNotice` | `true` | Injects one "wrap up" steering message at the soft mark. |
-| `agentIdleTtlMs` | `420000` | Parks an **idle** agent after 7 min. Useless against a busy-but-slow agent. |
-| `completionProbe` | `true` | Asks a working subagent to self-report completeness at 2/5/10 requests. |
-| `maxConcurrency` | `32` (often lowered) | Concurrent subagents; sizes GPU/endpoint load. |
-| `agentModelOverrides` | `{}` | Per-agent model routing, e.g. `{"scout":"provider/model-id"}`. |
-| `tools.maxTimeout` | `0` | Caps the timeout the agent may set on a **tool**, not on the agent. |
+| `task.maxConcurrency` | session semaphore; excess queues | stock default 32 — "2" is not a default |
+| `task.maxRecursionDepth` | nesting cap | predicate is `depth < n`; **1 = children cannot spawn (correct for "no nesting"); 0 disables spawning for the MAIN session too — never reach for 0**; negative = unlimited |
+| `task.maxRuntimeMs` | hard wall clock, overrun = `aborted` | default 0 = off |
+| `task.softRequestBudget` | wrap-up notice at N, force-yield at 1.5N | scout/sonic may impose lower built-ins |
+| `task.agentIdleTtlMs` | park idle finished agents | `<= 0` disables parking |
+| `providers.maxInFlightRequests` | concurrent LLM requests per provider id | keys are the quoted block labels from `agent/models.yml` (e.g. `"llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)"`), flat map lookup; absent/≤0 = unlimited; scope = this machine's config root only — other workstations and non-omp clients are NOT counted; excess queues |
+| `tools.maxTimeout` | ceiling on any agent-requested tool timeout | kills `timeout: 0` runaways |
+| `task.isolation.enabled` | makes per-spawn `isolated` flag available | opt-in per spawn, not a blanket sandbox; needs git repo; off in plan mode |
+| `task.completionProbe` | periodic completeness side-requests | token sink on shared endpoints |

-Reasonable fleet defaults: `maxRuntimeMs = 900000` (15 min), leave the request budget
-alone unless the failure mode is a looping search agent (then lower it — request count,
-not the clock, is what bounds a 200-call research loop).
+## Verify semantics from the bundle, not the label
+Setting descriptions lie by omission. `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`:
+- depth gate: `grep -o '.\{130\}xC\b.\{130\}'` finds `U_(n,s)`; `grep -o 'function U_(e,t){.\{0,60\}'` → `e<0||t<e` (n=cap, s=taskDepth).
+- in-flight lookup: `grep -o '.\{150\}axInFlightRequests.\{200\}'` → flat `[providerId]` lookup, non-number/≤0 = unlimited, clamp ≥1.

-**Verify the cap instead of assuming it.** `read cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs` at the start of
-any session that plans to rely on it. A session-only write is gone next session, and an
-unanswered `/save` approval means the value never persisted — so the fleet can run hours
-with the cap at `0` while everyone believes it is 15 minutes. Nothing else bounds a child.
-
-## Three failure modes, three different fixes
-
- **Runaway loop** (hundreds of sequential tool calls): lower `softRequestBudget`; the
-  clock cap only truncates it late.
- **Slow model, legitimate work** (dozens of calls on a low-t/s endpoint = an hour of wall
-  clock): fix routing, not the clock — check `cfg://task/agentModelOverrides` and move the
-  agent class onto a faster/shared endpoint. Watch the slot math: subagent endpoints share
-  KV slots with the interactive session, so `maxConcurrency + 1` sequences on an N-slot
-  endpoint degrades everyone's decode.
- **Finished work, no exit (nested fan-out deadlock).** A subagent that spawned **its own**
-  children blocks on their barriers. If those children die out-of-band (killed, starved, or
-  waiting on an answer whose subject changed mid-flight), the parent waits forever with its
-  deliverable already written. No instruction text prevents this — not the repo AGENTS.md,
-  not the task prompt; only the clock cap or a kill ends it.
-
-  Signature: parent and children report **the same elapsed wall clock**, and the parent's
-  on-disk output is complete. Census (agent registry + `ps`): group by elapsed time, look
-  for identical `etimes` across a parent/child set, then judge the **artifacts** instead of
-  the process — balanced code fences, no truncated tables, trailing newline, front matter or
-  the page's H1+status convention intact. Complete artifacts + still "running" = deadlock,
-  not work.
-
-  Repair: kill the **subtree** and confirm the children leave (a killed parent does not
-  cancel children that came from a separate `tasks[]` batch). Then **flatten**: the
-  top-level session does the fan-out and children never spawn children. Re-run only the
-  slices whose artifacts are missing — integrate from what is already on disk.
-
-## cfg write mechanics (bit me once)
-
- `write cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs 900000` → applies **session-only**, replies "NOT saved".
- Persist = `write cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs/save` with the same content, and that write
-  needs its **own interactive approval**. If the approval prompt is not answered in time
-  the value stays session-only and the tool says *NEVER retry unless the user asks* —
-  report it in the reply instead.
- Revert a session value by writing the old value back (e.g. `0`).
-
-## Order of operations when one is already running late
-
-1. `read proc://` → registry of running agents; `read proc://<id>` for status/output.
-2. `read agent://<id>` → live progress ("Latest assistant text") — often shows it is
-   mid-batch, not hung. If the latest text is already a wrap-up/summary, treat it as
-   **done** and collect its output instead of waiting for an exit event.
-3. `write agent://<id>` an explicit wrap-up order: stop searching, answer what is
-   sourced, mark the rest `NOT VERIFIED — needs <what>`, cap the report length.
-4. Only then `write proc://<id>/kill` — the cap does **not** retroactively bind agents
-   spawned before the change, so a long runner must be ordered or killed, never just
-   re-configured. After any kill, re-read the registry: unreaped children and orphaned
-   host-side processes (a scratch server holding GPU/RAM) are the expensive residue, and
-   `pkill -f` patterns that also match production services are forbidden — kill by pid.

+---
+
+# Corpus-voice skill rewrite
+
+Rewrite a skill so it reads as if a chosen author wrote it. Done for `grilling` against the `mattpocock/skills` corpus (2026-10-18, command-center PR #20); behaviour preserved, voice swapped.
+
+## Where the corpus lives
+
+Installed third-party skills: `~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (the skills-CLI global store; `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` names sources). Whole mattpocock corpus ≈ 2,800 lines — small enough to read inline in ~4 `cat` batches via bash; do NOT delegate the reading, style lives in the exact prose.
+
+Read the author's own meta-skill FIRST if one exists (`writing-for-agents` for mattpocock — it states his levers explicitly), then the corpus practicing them.
+
+## Style DNA checklist (mattpocock; generalise per author)
+
+- **Leading words**: compact pretrained concepts repeated as tokens, never sentences (_red_, _seam_, _fog of war_, _brief_, _frontier_). Define each once, reuse everywhere. Prefer words already in the author's other skills so the corpus shares one language.
+- **Vocabulary-first**: bolded glossary terms, then used exactly; explicit "_Avoid_: component, service".
+- **Positive phrasing**: prohibitions rewritten as target behaviours; keep a prohibition only when no positive form exists (hard guardrails).
+- **Sharpened completion criteria**: fuzzy bounds ("understanding reached") → checkable + exhaustive ("frontier empty and nothing sits blocked", "one artefact per question, counted before sending").
+- **Zero history**: no provenance, attribution, or absorbed-from lineage in the body.
+- **No-op hunting**: delete harness defaults and anything the environment already confesses (formats, rendering, caps). Gotchas the environment CANNOT confess (exclusive dialogs, Esc-abort semantics) stay inline — they're the cache worth keeping.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Read entire corpus; tabulate levers with per-skill evidence before writing.
+2. Rewrite preserving settled behaviour 1:1 — voice only; diff the two versions for semantic drift.
+3. Audit pass: grep the new text for history words (extracted/absorbed/from/upstream), machine-specific constants, repo-specific paths.
+4. Run repo checks, commit as `style(<scope>)`, note the lever→instance mapping in the PR comment so the reviewer can grade the emulation.

+description: "Run an exhaustive docs dedupe + fact-verification campaign in dank/command-center: scout cluster ledgers, evidence-overridden merges, live fleet probes, log compaction law, and landing via Gitea PR."
+---
+
+Campaign procedure for deduping + fact-checking `omp-docs/` in dank/command-center (proven on Refs #29, 2026-10-19: 8 commits, -2,229 lines, 0 lint/coverage/bats failures).
+
+## 1. Recon
+- Fresh branch off `origin/main` in a new worktree (`git worktree add ~/.omp/wt/<name> -b docs/<issue>-<slug> origin/main`); the session worktree's `git checkout -b` is policy-blocked.
+- Run `scripts/kb-lint.sh omp-docs` baseline; write a throwaway index-coverage checker (each dir's `index.md` must link every subdir/file) — mechanical, no scout needed.
+- Open the Gitea issue first (multi-moving-parts law).
+
+## 2. Scout fan-out (overlap detection)
+- One `task` batch, `agent: scout`, one task per doc cluster + one cross-cutting sweep (cap 2 concurrent; rest queue).
+- Each scout writes a ledger to `local://dedupe/<cluster>.md`: inventory table (file, lines, purpose, verdict KEEP/MERGE/DELETE/UPDATE), overlaps, facts-to-keep ledger, inbound links, staleness, claims-needing-verification.
+- Scouts are LEADS, not truth. Observed failures: fabricated ledger entries (claims about text that does not exist in any file), a DELETE verdict on a generated artifact that is under test (`tools/niri/keybindings.md` is generated by `scripts/gen-keybinds.sh` and tested by `tests/gen-keybinds.bats` — keep), and a KEEP based on misreading a changelog leftover. Re-derive every consequential verdict from the files/repo yourself.
+
+## 3. Verify fleet facts live (never trust doc dates)
+- Read-only BatchMode probes: `ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw '...'` (podman ps/inspect, systemctl status, curl localhost, os-release, cpuinfo). `sudo -n` only has systemctl verbs — use `podman exec <ctr> grep/cat` for in-container files.
+- Update docs with dated drift banners ("probed 2026-10-19") for policy divergence; NEVER silently re-apply a policy — flag as operator decision (e.g. SearXNG engine policy).
+
+## 4. Verify external claims via direct web research (no subagents)
+- Version/protocol/benchmark claims: primary source only (upstream README, raw.githubusercontent, /api/v1/version, arxiv). If a number cannot be re-attributed to a published benchmark, drop it with an explicit note in the doc.
+- Fabrication hunt: invented distros/projects/model names (found: "FreeToken" distro, ornith-llama-cpp-setup tree, Intel CPU on an AMD box) — delete the artifact, not just the line.
+
+## 5. Log compaction law
+- Changelog entry = date + what changed + durable lesson + concept-page pointer, few lines. Full narratives live in git (`git log --follow`). Record the law at the top of `log.md`. Never re-expand an entry in place. Keep pi-era entries tagged "(pi era)".
+
+## 6. Gates + landing
+- Gate every commit: `bash scripts/kb-lint.sh omp-docs` + index-coverage + `bats tests/` (67 tests). Pre-commit hook prints `error: command not found: caddy` on Caddyfile-touching commits — warning only, commit still lands.
+- Gitea API auth: `~/.config/secrets/gitea` is **URL-form** (`http://dank:<token>@host`), not a raw token. Extract: `T=$(sed -n 's|.*://[^:]*:\([^@]*\)@.*|\1|p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)`; raw `cat` as bearer token → 401.
+- PR body ends with `---` + `cwd: <wd> · session: <id>` footer; then `xdg-open <PR-URL>` immediately; comment the campaign ledger summary on the issue. NEVER merge without Frank's explicit OK.
+
+## Edit-tool field notes (recurring traps)
+- `PUT N+=:` is invalid syntax — it inserts the literal text. One insert-op per edit call; recompute line numbers per call.
+- File hash tag changes after every edit — re-`read` before each subsequent edit call to the same file; reusing a stale tag is rejected.

Use for dedupe-our-docs, fix-the-stale-runbooks, pointers-instead-of-copied-numbers jobs."
+---
+
+# Refresh stale docs with scout summaries, parent-side writes
+
+Use when a cluster of documentation pages is stale and/or restates facts another page owns, and
+the fix touches many files. **Scouts read and classify; the parent writes.** Sibling skill
+`vault-one-fact-one-owner-dedupe` covers collapsing era pages into owner pages - its section 3
+(orphan census), section 7 (edit-tool hazard) and section 9 (verify/PR) apply unchanged.
+
+## Why not writer subagents (measured cost)
+
+Writer agents produce plausible output and cannot be trusted on the one claim that matters - the
+owner page already holds this fact. In one run they asserted every cut was grep-confirmed while
+FOUR cuts left pointers to pages that did not contain the fact (118->238 GiB, 16,095 tokens,
+0.739/0.554/0.427/0.340, PR #23897). Each became a broken promise the next reader trusts.
+Classification is the only part that parallelizes; writing is where taste (ownership, era
+naming, what counts as a law) lives. So fan out read-only scouts and keep the pen.
+
+If writer agents were already spawned and are no longer wanted: `write agent://all` to stop
+them, then `git status` the target tree - `proc://` does not list agent jobs, and a finished
+worker may already have edited files.
+
+## Pipeline
+
+1. **Cluster** targets into groups of 3-4 pages sharing subject matter (one cluster per scout).
+   Know the owner map first (endpoint/service/host pages, plus the repo documentation law).
+2. **Wave of 2 scouts** (harness cap is `task.maxConcurrency`, usually 2). Scout contract:
+
+   > READ-ONLY, no writes of any kind. Per file, one table row per candidate fact:
+   > `| lines | verbatim figure + 6 words | holder elsewhere (file:line) or none | VERDICT |`
+   > Verdicts: `CUT -> [[Owner]]` (holder verified), `KEEP(owned here)` (no holder, this page is
+   > the record), `PORT(parent)` (rightful owner lacks it - name page and section), `STALE`
+   > (contradicted by current state; quote the contradicting line), `INDEX` (locator page).
+   > Verify every holder claim with a COMMA-INSENSITIVE grep: a holder writing 1,350,182
+   > satisfies a page writing 1350182 and vice versa; 16,095 does NOT satisfy a check for 16095
+   > unless commas are stripped. Never name a holder line you have not read.
+   > End with a per-file tally: kept / cut / port / stale.
+
+   Put the law, the owner map and the verification rule in the batch-level `context`, never per
+   task.
+3. **Write while the next wave runs**: edit cluster N from wave N, launch wave N+1 in the same
+   turn. Never launch a wave you have nothing to write.
+4. **Verify each CUT yourself** before cutting - read the holder line. A scout row is a
+   hypothesis, not evidence.
+5. **PORT items are your edits**: add the fact to the owner page section (Eras row / Laws / spec
+   table), then cut it from the technique page in the same commit.
+6. **STALE items: check live state**, not another document - `ssh <host> systemctl is-active
+   <svc>`, the endpoint `/health`, the env file. Then rewrite with a date, or drop transient
+   live state an owner page already records.
+
+## The ownership test that stops wasted ports
+
+Two pages carrying one figure is the defect - a figure with exactly one holder is fine wherever
+it lives. A technique page that is the sole record of a campaign owns that campaign's arm
+tables; do not port such ledgers into an endpoint Eras table. Write the clause into the repo
+documentation law so the next pass stops porting single-owner facts. Corollary: a worked example
+may repeat a live number if it declares itself dated and names the owner (a snapshot, not fleet
+state - recompute from the live files).
+
+## Census after each cluster (catches your own slips too)
+
+Run the sibling skill's section 3 census over `git diff -U0` for the cluster (deleted lines x
+distinctive numeric keys vs the whole vault **plus AGENTS.md**), comma-insensitively; drive the
+count to zero or list each accepted loss in the commit message.
+
+```python
+flat = corpus.replace(',', '')
+pres = lambda n: n in corpus or n.replace(',', '') in flat
+toks = lambda l: [n for n in re.findall(r'\d[\d,]*(?:\.\d+)?', l)
+                  if len(n.replace(',', '').split('.')[0]) >= 4

+orphan = [l for l in deleted if toks(l) and not any(pres(n) for n in toks(l))]

+description: "Answer \"what is service running right now?\" for a dank-fleet service: live endpoint probe plus host units, image ids, live-vs-repo env, and drop-ins."
+---
+
+# Fleet service runtime census
+
+Answer the question "what is `<service>` running currently?" with evidence, not from docs. Docs say what *should* run; the host says what *does*. Run all five probes, then report one table.
+
+## 1. Probe the published port (works from any LAN box, no ssh)
+
+```bash
+curl -s -m 10 http://<host-ip>:<port>/health; echo
+curl -s -m 10 http://<host-ip>:<port>/v1/audio/voices   # per-endpoint extras: /v1/models, /metrics
+```
+
+The extra route matters more than `/health` for identity claims:
+- llama.cpp and radiance **echo the requested model name** — a 200 proves nothing; read `/v1/models`.
+- halogen 404s `/completion`, `/ping`, `/props`, `/tokenize`.
+- The frank-tts façade answers `/health` **without dialing the engine**, so "façade healthy, engine down" is a real state; the voice list in that same response is the honest census.
+
+## 2. Units + containers on the host (ssh as the deploy user, no sudo)
+
+```bash
+ssh <host> 'systemctl --user status <svc>.service <engine>.service --no-pager \
+  | grep -E "^(●|  Active|  Loaded)"; \
+  podman images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}} {{.ID}} {{.Created}}"; \
+  podman ps -a --format "{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Image}}"'
+```
+
+- `active (running) since …` + `Up N hours (healthy)` is the answer; `activating (auto-restart)` with a ~50 ms exit is a **preflight refusal**, not an engine fault.
+- **NEVER prefix these podman calls with `sudo`.** Containers live in the deploy user's rootless storage; `sudo podman inspect frank-tts-engine` returns `no such object` while the plain form succeeds. Treating that as "container missing" is a false finding.
+
+## 3. Drop-ins — the override that no health gate sees
+
+```bash
+ssh <host> 'systemctl --user show <svc>.service -p DropInPaths; \
+            systemctl --user show <engine>.service -p DropInPaths'
+```
+
+`DropInPaths=` must be empty. A leftover bench drop-in (`Environment=FRANK_<SVC>_ENV_FILE=/tmp/<arm>.env`) makes the next deploy boot a different model at a different shape while `/health` still answers 200 and the e2e gate passes.
+
+## 4. Live env vs repo env — the only truth test
+
+```bash
+# repo side (local checkout)
+grep -vE '^\s*#|^\s*$' scripts/<svc>.env
+# host side
+ssh <host> 'sudo cat /home/dank/serverAppConfigs/scripts/<svc>.env' | grep -vE '^\s*#|^\s*$'
+```
+
+Diff them. Per repo law the env file beside the serve script **is** the authority; a doc page that disagrees with it is the bug, and host-side drift means an uncommitted edit. Also check `git log --oneline -3 -- scripts/<svc>.env` to confirm the host isn't ahead of git.
+
+## 5. Report
+
+Table of: unit state + since, image repo:tag@short-ID + age, backend/alias actually served (from step 1, not from the name), drop-ins, and whether live env == repo env. State explicitly when a fact came from docs rather than from a probe.
+
+## Traps that produce false findings
+
+- Digest-pinned images: the local image ID's *creation date* answers "is this stale" better than the tag; `latest` + `Pull=never` is a locally built image, not a registry pull.
+- `ssh` user context changes what podman sees (root vs rootless) — see step 2.
+- Two ports on one host are two providers in `models.yml`; a port mismatch is a rename or drift, not a config typo.

+# Adding (or repairing) a cloned voice on the dank fleet

-## Naming (the question that gets asked first)
+Repo law lives in `serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Voice Packs.md` and
+`Frank TTS Engine.md` — read those for the pack format. This skill is the
+**operating sequence plus the traps that cost real time on 2026-10-18**.

-A voice is addressed **by its directory name** — `voice=narrator1` on
-`POST /v1/audio/speech` (omp's TTS device may send `voice_id`, same value). Use:
+## Stack, fast

- `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9._-]*$`, **lowercase**, ≤ 64 chars. No slash, no `..`, no
-  space, no uppercase; must not start with `.`/`_`/`-`.
- Why lowercase rather than just "alphanumeric": the shim accepts
-  `[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]{0,63}` (`app.py`, `VOICE_NAME_RE`) but the **engine
-  lowercases names**, so `Narrator1` resolves on one side and not the other. The
-  boot warmer refuses a mixed-case pack loudly instead of half-working.
- Names are user-visible: a 400 carries them in `available_voices`. Fleet
-  convention is `narrator1`, `narrator2`, … for the open-notebook podcast
-  speakers — open-notebook is configured with exactly `narrator1/2/3`, so renaming
-  those breaks podcast rendering, not just TTS — and a lowercase personal name for
-  a person's own voice.
+- `frank-tts-engine` — arm A `qwentts.cpp tts-server`, container-internal `:8880`,
+  publishes **no port**. Reach it with `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl …`.
+- `frank-tts` — OpenAI façade on host `:7772`; resolves voice **by name**.
+- Packs: `/home/dank/voices/<name>/` with `reference.wav` (+ manifest, `.spk`,
+  `.rvq`). Builder: `scripts/build-voice-pack.sh` (crop 19.84–25 s, first 10 s of
+  any source is forbidden).
+- Weights: `/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF/` —
+  `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh [--verify-only]` (1.4 GiB, ~18 s
+  on the LAN; verifies byte count + Hub LFS sha256).

-## Pack layout (host state — never commit it)
+## Sequence

-`/home/dank/voices/<name>/` is a voice **iff** it holds `reference.wav`:
+1. Build the pack (dry-run first — sizes are arithmetic and asserted).
+2. Deploy the engine only if its files changed:
+   `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine`
+   (first run builds the image: ~10 min recursive source clone).
+3. Register/warm: `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`
+   — registers **every** pack each run (the engine replaces a name it already
+   holds; `tools/tts-server.cpp:148`), then synthesizes twice per voice.
+4. Prove from the consumer side, not the config:
+   `curl -s localhost:7772/v1/audio/voices` then a real
+   `POST /v1/audio/speech` and listen to the bytes.

-```
-reference.wav    24 kHz mono pcm_s16le, 18-25 s of clean single-speaker audio
-reference.spk    engine x-vector: enc_dim 2048 f32 = 8192 B
-reference.rvq    RVQ codes: 22 B per 12.5 Hz frame (5456-6864 B)
-manifest.json    source path + sha256, crop start/end, engine commit, name
-```
+## Trap 1 — the kernel's argument cap (this broke the first deploy)

-Build it; do not hand-assemble and never fabricate `.spk`/`.rvq` from a WAV:
+`/usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long` in the warm log ⇒ a request body was
+passed as **one argv string**. Linux caps a single argument at
+`MAX_ARG_STRLEN = 131 072 bytes`; a ~1 MB `reference.wav` base64's to ~1.27 MB.
+curl never runs, and hooks report it as `HTTP no response` while `/health` is
+green. Fix = write the body to a file and use `--data-binary @file`; feed the
+payload through a redirection, not `$(base64 …)`.
+Regression-test shape: **real** curl + real listener + a fixture >128 KB, so the
+kernel (not a stub) produces the failure. Any pack over ~96 KB trips it.

-```bash
-scripts/build-voice-pack.sh --all /home/dank/voices       # everything in VOICE_PACKS
-scripts/build-voice-pack.sh --source SRC --offset SEC --duration SEC --sha256 HEX NAME /home/dank/voices
-scripts/build-voice-pack.sh --dry-run ...                  # validate + crop, no extractor
-```
+## Trap 2 — two readers of the env file disagree about quotes

-Knobs live in `scripts/voice-packs.env` (one `_SOURCE`/`_OFFSET`/`_DURATION`/
-`_SHA256` set per voice). Three things it enforces that an operator gets wrong:
+`bash set -a; source` strips `"…"`. podman's `--env-file` (how the unit really
+reads it) does **not**. A value interpolated into a JSON body therefore arrives
+quoted and invalidates it. Test both readers, not just `source`.

-1. **The 10-second gate.** A crop starting inside the first 10 s of the source is
-   refused before anything is written (project source-material law), and the
-   manifest is re-checked against the source's sha256 afterwards.
-2. **The effective crop window is 19.84-25 s, not 18-25 s.** An 18.0 s crop is a
-   legal `reference.wav` but yields only 22 × 225 = 4 950 B of `.rvq`, under the
-   5 456 B floor the codec config implies — so the builder says so up front.
-3. **It never deletes.** An existing pack is refused unless `--force`, and
-   `--force` moves the old directory to `$PACKS_DIR/.AGENTTRASH/<voice>-<UTC>/`.
+## Trap 3 — locally built images skip rebuilds on a stale hash

-Files must be world-readable (the container runs as uid 10000): `644` files,
-`755` dirs. `mkdir -p /home/dank/voices` as the deploy user if it is absent —
-rootless podman auto-creates a missing bind source **root-owned**, and the
-endpoint then sees no voices at all.
+`build_compose_image` compares a `cfhash` label; it must cover every file the
+`Containerfile` `COPY`s, or an edited `app.py`/hook deploys "successfully" while
+the container runs old code.

-## Register and warm (the part people forget)
+## Measured numbers (2026-10-18, deployed build — retire the trial's ladder)

-The engine keeps its voice registry **in memory**, and the **first synthesis of a
-registered voice decodes the whole reference clip** to snapshot codec state:
-6.2-8.0 s, first audio byte at ~5 530 ms. Later requests restore in 0.5 ms.
-Re-registering does **not** warm — only synthesizing does. So:
+| thing | value |
+|---|---|
+| first synthesis of a freshly registered voice | 1 883 ms |
+| later short requests | 1 226–1 283 ms |
+| ~110-word request (repeat) | 9.4 s / 9.8 s — tracks generated audio, not state |
+| whole boot warm, 3 packs | 15.2 s |
+| engine resident | ~4.0 GiB |

-```bash
-# registers every pack that has a reference.wav, then speaks the warm sentence once
-podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh
-systemctl --user --no-pager --full status frank-tts-engine.service | tail -20
-```
+The trial's `6.2–8.0 s cold → 0.5 ms warm` claim does **not** reproduce; warming
+is for registration (registry is memory-only, re-register ≠ warm) plus ~0.6 s.

-The unit's
-`ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh` does
-the same at every boot, so a fresh boot is already warm; the explicit call above
-is for **adding one voice to a running engine** and needs no restart — a restart
-drops every registration and re-pays the cold cost for the whole library. The
-`podman exec` form is not cosmetic: the engine **publishes no port**, so there is
-no host address to curl.
+## Ops notes

-## Proof (do not report "added" without it)
-
-```bash
-curl -s localhost:7772/v1/audio/voices                        # name is listed
-time curl -s -o /tmp/a.wav localhost:7772/v1/audio/speech \

-  -d '{"model":"tts-1","voice":"NAME","input":"Checking the cloned voice.","response_format":"wav"}'

-  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-  -d '{"model":"tts-1","voice":"NAME","input":"And the second request.","response_format":"wav"}'
-file /tmp/a.wav /tmp/b.wav                                    # really audio
-```
-
-The warmer's journal lines carry `voice NAME cold=…ms warm=…ms` — quote that pair.
-Note that streaming and buffered output differ at the same seed (92.2 % of samples,
-41.6 dB RMS): never compare two paths or two "identical" renders, only that each
-is audio and that the second request is fast.
-
-## Failure modes worth naming
-
- `400 unknown voice …; available voices: …` → the name is not a pack: wrong
-  spelling/case, missing `reference.wav`, or `/home/dank/voices` root-owned/empty.
-  Trust the 400's list over any manifest.
- 400 with `(none: no voice pack with a reference.wav in /voices)` → mount problem,
-  not a voice problem.
- First request slow **after** a boot → the warm pass failed; read the unit's
-  journal (the warmer exits 0 and logs when there is no voice directory, so
-  silence there is not success either).
- Endpoint answers but synthesis fails 502 → the façade must dial
-  `http://frank-tts-engine:8880` over the shared bridge
-  (`frank-tts-engine.network`); a `host.containers.internal` / `127.0.0.1:8880`
-  upstream can never work between containers, because netavark DNATs published
-  ports only.
-
-## Never
-
-Never write under `/voices` from the endpoint (mounted `:ro` by design), never
-`git add` a voice pack, never `rm` a pack (repo policy: move to `.AGENTTRASH/`),
-and never benchmark against this endpoint while it serves — stop and mask the
-units first.
+- `systemctl --user stop` **removes** the quadlet container — `podman start` then
+  finds nothing. To run the engine without its `ExecStartPost` hook, use a
+  separate container, not stop+start.
+- `podman cp` of a fixed script into a running container is a **trial only**: the
+  layer dies with the container. Merge + redeploy to make it durable.

+description: "Triage a consumer (OpenWebUI, omp, open-notebook) rejecting or ignoring a frank-tts voice name: prove whether the server or the browser-side Kokoro.js engine produced the error."
+---
+
+# frank-tts consumer voice triage
+
+A consumer says a voice name is invalid, speaks in the wrong voice, or is
+silent. `frank-tts` (`192.168.0.143:7772`, shim
+`dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py`) resolves `voice=<name>` against
+`/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav` and answers **400 + the list of
+voices that exist** for a name it cannot resolve — never a silent fallback.
+Any error naming a *different* voice list did not come from it.
+
+**Signature that decides the case immediately:** an enum of ~29 names
+`af_heart, af_alloy, … am_*, bf_*, bm_* … bm_fable` is **Kokoro's fixed pack**,
+the voice list of **Kokoro.js running in the browser** (OpenWebUI ships it
+in its own front end as TTS engine value `browser-kokoro`, with a personal
+"Kokoro.js dtype" setting; model `onnx-community/Kokoro-82M-v1.0-ONNX`).
+`narrator1/2/3` are frank-tts cloned voices. Kokoro cannot clone.
+
+## Instrument ladder (stop at the first that answers)
+
+1. **What the endpoint actually accepts** (never infer from a consumer's text):
+   `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` → JSON array of pack names.
+2. **Speak with the consumer's exact body, from inside the consumer's
+   container** — same network, same shape. Write the JSON to a file and
+   `--data-binary @file` (nested `sh -c` quoting silently sends an empty
+   body and yields a bogus `400 malformed request body`):
+   ```
+   printf '%s' '{"model":"frank-tts","input":"probe","voice":"narrator1","response_format":"mp3","speed":1.0}' > /tmp/p.json
+   podman cp /tmp/p.json <consumer>:/tmp/p.json
+   podman exec <consumer> curl -sS -o /tmp/o.bin -w 'http=%{http_code} type=%{content_type} bytes=%{size_download}\n' \
+     -X POST http://host.containers.internal:7772/v1/audio/speech \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @/tmp/p.json
+   ```
+   `200 audio/mpeg|audio/wav` ⇒ the server path is healthy; the failure is elsewhere.
+3. **Did the request arrive at all?** `podman logs --tail 400 <consumer> | grep -c audio/speech`.
+   A server-path failure leaves a log line **and** a frank-tts error body; a
+   client-side engine leaves **neither**. This contrast is the discriminator.
+4. **Where the rejection string lives** (proves the emitter without guessing):
+   ```
+   podman exec <consumer> sh -c 'grep -ho ".\{200\}Should be one of.\{80\}" /app/build/_app/immutable/chunks/*.js | head'
+   podman exec <consumer> sh -c 'grep -ho ".\{60\}af_heart.\{200\}" /app/build/_app/immutable/chunks/*.js | head -2'
+   ```
+   Matched inside the front-end bundle ⇒ browser-side validator, not the API.
+5. **Config authority sweep** (OpenWebUI): admin config is the `config`
+   table (one key per row, JSON `value`; expected
+   `audio.tts.engine=openai`, `audio.tts.model`, `audio.tts.voice`,
+   `audio.tts.openai.api_base_url`); per-user overrides are the `settings`
+   JSON column of table `user` (singular, no `is_active`; some rows hold the
+   string `null` → guard it). `audio.stt.*` and `audio.tts.*` are separate.
+   No `sqlite3` CLI in the image or on the host: `podman exec -i <c> python -`
+   with the stdlib module. **`podman exec` needs `-i` to accept a heredoc
+   script** — without it the script is silently dropped and you get no output.
+
+## Known traps
+
+- OpenWebUI is a **rootless** quadlet: `sudo podman …` reports *no such
+  container*. Read it rootless.
+- `podman ps` in this podman build has no `.ImageName` field — use `{{.Image}}`.
+- The in-browser engine choice is **per-browser storage**: empty
+  `user.settings` + correct admin config + zero backend hits is the normal
+  shape of this bug. Fix is UI: Settings → Audio → TTS Engine → **Default**.
+- `GET /api/config` publishes no `audio` block, and nonexistent `/api/...`
+  paths return the SPA HTML with `200` — never conclude "config missing" from
+  an HTML body.
+- TTS is memory-registry sensitive: the engine's voice registry is
+  memory-only, so "every name returns 400" after a restart points at the warm
+  pass, not at the caller (see [[frank-tts-add-cloned-voice]]).
+
+## Local playback side (omp `/say`, manual probes)
+
+If synthesis succeeds (`200`, sane WAV bytes) but nothing is audible, the
+fault is the PipeWire graph, not the endpoint:
+`wpctl status` (default sink marked `*`, and *Default Configured Devices* —
+a remembered-but-offline `bluez_output.*` there is the classic silent
+route), `wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@`, `pw-play -v <file>` (expect
+`stream drained` + exit 0), and target a device explicitly with
+`pw-play --target <node-id>` to identify which hardware is live. A one-word
+clip (~0.7 s) is easy to miss — probe with a multi-second sentence.

-claiming a PR "should exist"; create it via the API when asked.
+## Where
+- Token: `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (`http://user:TOKEN@192.168.0.143` single line).
+  Extract WITHOUT echoing:
+  `tok=$(sed -nE 's#^http://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)`
+- Build a 600-perm temp curl config and use `curl -K`:
+  `cfg=$(mktemp) && chmod 600 "$cfg" && printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"`
+  Delete `$cfg` after use. NEVER pass `-H "Authorization: token $tok"` (the literal
+  header lands in transcript + logs). NEVER echo the token.
+- Base URL: `http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/command-center`.

-## Endpoint + auth
- API base: `http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/<repo>`
- Token lives in the git credential store configured by
-  `git config --get credential.helper` → `store --file ~/.config/secrets/gitea`,
-  line format `http://user:TOKEN@192.168.0.143:3000`.
- The repo-local `.env` `GITEA_TOKEN` (main checkout, gitignored) carries
-  **`read:issue` too** (measured 2026-10-18): filing issues needs THAT token,
-  the credential-store one 403s on issues.
+## Recipes (all verified live 2026-10-18)
+- **Open PR** (token only needed for private repos; this one reads publicly but
+  POST needs auth): `POST /pulls` JSON `{title, head, base:"main", body}`.
+- **PATCH PR title/body**: `PATCH /pulls/<n>` with JSON body `{title}` and/or
+  `{body}`. Returns 201 with the full PR. Use `jq -n --arg` to build JSON; for
+  multi-line bodies write the text to a temp file and `--arg b "$(cat b.txt)"`.
+  (jq CLI: a bare `---` argument after the program is parsed as a flag → error;
+  fold footers into the --arg string instead.)
+- **List open PRs**: `GET /pulls?state=open` → `jq -r '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.head.ref) \(.title)"'`.
+- **Read PR**: `GET /pulls/<n>` (no token; public repo) → `jq -c '{state,merged,mergeable,head:.head.ref}'`.
+  `mergeable:false` is often Gitea's *not-yet-checked* state, not a conflict — prove a real
+  conflict locally with `git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/main` before believing it.
+- **MERGE**: `POST /pulls/<n>/merge` with `-H 'Content-Type: application/json'`
+  and body **`{"Do":"merge"}`** — this build REQUIRES the `Do` field:
+  `{}` or `{"DoNotMerge":false,...}` → 422; `{"Do":"merge"}` → 200 +
+  `{"state":"closed","merged":true,"merge_commit_sha":"..."}`. Verify with a plain
+  GET /pulls/<n> afterwards (merge endpoint's own stdout may not parse).
+  Merge is the `--no-ff` merge commit on main; then `git -C ~/.omp fetch && git
+  merge --ff-only origin/main` propagates the live deployment.
+- **Issues**: same shape at `/issues` (`POST {title, body}`), `/issues/<n>/comments`
+  (`POST {body}`, `PATCH .../comments/<id>`) — both work with the temp-cfg auth.

-Extract the token (the `http://` scheme contains a colon — scheme-stripping
-awk regexes silently grab the port instead; use this anchored sed):
+## Review comments: the API lies on 1.27.3 (learned 2026-10-18)
+- `GET /pulls/<n>/comments` (inline review comments) → **404 `not found` on every
+  route** (token or not, `?pull_request_id=` or not) even when a review with
+  comments exists.
+- `GET /pulls/<n>/reviews` works (shows `state`, `comments_count`) but bodies are empty.
+- **The comments are readable from the PR HTML**:
+  `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/command-center/pulls/<n> -o /tmp/pr.html`
+  then extract `<div class="content comment-content">` blocks
+  (python: `re.finditer(r'comment-content', src)` → widen ±800 chars, strip tags).
+  Duplicates appear (suggested-change UI shows text twice); dedupe mentally.
+- Per-conversation resolve API also 404s — flag resolutions in an issue comment instead.

-```bash
-tok=$(sed -nE 's#^http://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)
-[ -n "$tok" ] && echo "token-extracted(len=${#tok})"   # length check, never echo the value
-```
+## Body-footer law (AGENTS.md)
+Every issue/PR body ends with `---` line then `cwd: <wd> · session: <id>`. Keep
+it inside the --arg string (not a `---` CLI arg).

-## Keep the token out of argv (repo secret law)
-`curl -H "Authorization: token $tok"` is world-readable in `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`.
-Use a mode-600 config file:
+`cwd` is THIS session's own working directory (note a build worktree separately if they
+differ). When `/status` is unreachable (headless/subagent context), recover the session id
+from the session store instead of inventing one:
+`ls -t ~/.omp/agent/sessions/<cwd-slug>/ | head -2` → `<timestamp>_<uuid>` (the same uuid as
+`<uuid>.jsonl`); the slug is the cwd with `/` replaced by `-`. Subagent files live under the
+**parent** session's directory, so the newest entry there is the parent id.

-```bash
-cfg=$(mktemp); chmod 600 "$cfg"
-printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"
-```
-
- POST JSON needs a second header line: `header = "Content-Type: application/json"`.
-  There IS NO `content-type` config option — curl rejects the file.
- `rm -f "$cfg"` when done (a mode-600 token file left in /tmp is its own leak).
-
-## Operations
-```bash
-# list open PRs
-curl -sS -K "$cfg" ".../pulls?state=open" | jq -r '.[] | [.number,.head.name,.base.name,.title] | @tsv'
-# create (build the payload as a FILE, see below)
-curl -sS -K "$cfg" -o /tmp/pr.json -w '%{http_code}\n' -X POST -d @/tmp/pr-payload.json ".../pulls"

-## Gotchas measured 2026-10-14 / 2026-10-17 / 2026-10-18
- Unauthenticated/bad token → HTTP 401 body `{"message":"not found"}`; `jq '.[]|[.number,..]'` then fails with *cannot index "not found"* — that is an auth failure, not a missing repo.
- **Insufficient token scope ≠ missing data.** The credential-store token
-  (measured 2026-10-17) carries only `write:repository,write:user`; the issues
-  API answers HTTP 403 `{"message":"token does not have at least one of required
-  scope(s), required=[read:issue], token scope=write:repository,write:user"}`.
-  jq surfaces that JSON as the *cannot index* error — do NOT conclude the issue
-  list is empty, and note POSTs under this token create NOTHING (verify, don't
-  assume retry safety). Filing issues needs a fresh token minted in the Gitea
-  web UI with `read:issue`+`write:issue` (Frank-class credential action; ask) —
-  OR use the main-checkout `.env` `GITEA_TOKEN`, which already has issue scope.
-  PR endpoints work fine with either token (`pulls` POST/GET/merge all 200/201).
- On the created-PR response `.head.name` can be null; verify with the `GET /pulls/<n>` and use `.head.ref`.
- **Swagger JSON is disabled on this instance** — `/api/swagger.v1.json`, `/api/swagger.json` and `/api/v1/swagger.json` all 404. Do not go looking for the schema there; the 422 messages name the field and its Go type, which is the faster instrument.
+## Gotchas
+- Content-Type: POSTs with `-d @file.json` MUST carry

+# Gitea PR/issue cycle — dank/command-center
+
+Friction-earned 2026-10-18 across PRs #15–#20 and issue #18: three separate fumbles (jq trailer flag, 422 merge payload, silent -o/-w swallowing) codified once.
+
+## Where
+- API base: `http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/command-center/{pulls,issues}`
+- Token: never inline, never echoed. Extract from the git credential file into a 600-perm temp curl config:
+  `tok=$(sed -nE 's#^http://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)`
+  `cfg=$(mktemp); chmod 600 "$cfg"; printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"` → `curl -K "$cfg"`; `rm -f "$cfg"` when done.
+- Unauthenticated GET works for state reads (`GET /pulls/N` → `jq -c '{state,merged,merge_commit_sha}'`).
+
+## Body construction (the two traps)
+- Build JSON with `jq -n --arg t <title> --arg b "$(cat b.txt)" '{title:$t, head:<branch>, base:"main", body:$b}'`; write the body to a temp file first (`printf '%s' … > b.txt`). NEVER pass `---` as a bare jq argument — jq parses it as a flag (`unknown flag: ---`). The AGENTS.md attribution trailer (`---` + `cwd: … · session: …`) goes INSIDE the body string.
+- Always capture status explicitly: `-o r.json -w '%{http_code}'` and print it; a bare `-o` hides failures (a 422 looked like success-with-no-output once).
+
+## Merge (the 422 trap)
+`POST /pulls/N/merge` requires body `{"Do":"merge"}` — `Do` is the Required field on this Gitea. `{}`, `{"DoNotMerge":false}`, `{"merge_style":…}` all return 422 (`"[Do]: Required"`). Success may return an EMPTY body — verify by GET afterwards (`state=closed, merged=true`), not by the POST response.
+- Merge only with Frank's explicit per-PR OK (repo law).
+- Post-merge the live deployment must follow: `git -C ~/.omp fetch -q origin && git -C ~/.omp merge --ff-only origin/main` (the checkout IS the deployment; branch is `main`).
+
+## PR etiquette per AGENTS.md
+- Immediately after opening: `xdg-open <PR-URL>` lands it in Frank's Firefox.
+- Redesign mid-review: amend + `git push -f` the branch, then PATCH the PR body (`/pulls/N`, `{"body":…}`) so title/body match the net diff — verify `{number,state,mergeable}` in the response.
+- Issue creation identical shape: `POST /issues` with `{title, body}`, expect 201; PATCH same endpoint `/issues/N` to fix bodies retroactively, then GET-readback verify.

+
+# Gitea review-comment extraction when the API 404s
+
+On the Dankclaw Gitea (192.168.0.143:3000, Gitea 1.27.3) the review-comment API is dead for inline comments:
+`/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{N}/comments` returns 404 `not found` **even with a valid token**, and `pulls/comments?pull_id=` / `?pull_request_id=` variants 404 too. `/pulls/{N}/reviews` works but its bodies are empty for inline reviews (read `comments_count` for how many exist); `/issues/{N}/comments` shows only conversation comments, never inline ones.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Confirm the review exists and how many inline comments it holds:
+   `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/command-center/pulls/{N}/reviews | jq -c '.[] | {id, state, comments_count}'`
+2. Scrape the PR page instead (no token needed for a public repo):
+   `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/command-center/pulls/{N} -o /tmp/pr.html`
+3. Extract each comment's text — every inline comment renders a `comment-content` block; dedupe (each comment appears twice in the HTML):
+
+```python
+import re, html
+src = open('/tmp/pr.html').read()
+seen = set()
+for m in re.finditer(r'comment-content', src):
+    t = html.unescape(re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', ' ', src[m.start()-100:m.start()+800]))
+    t = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', t).strip()[:400]
+    if t not in seen:
+        seen.add(t); print('>>', t)
+```
+
+The comment text appears twice back-to-back inside each block ("text text") — read it once. Blocks start after `Copy Link|Copy Source`; ignore those chrome words.
+
+4. **Locate the file/line anchor** (comment-content blocks carry no `data-path`/`data-line` attrs on this build): search the raw HTML for the comment string, walk *backward* ~4–7 KB, strip tags; the nearby `agent/...` path, `@@ -a,b +c,d @@` hunk header, and surrounding diff context lines identify the anchored file and the quoted source line.
+
+## Replying / housekeeping
+
+- Per-conversation resolve API does not exist on this build (404s) — reply to the round as a normal issue comment (`POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{N}/comments`, token via `curl -K` temp cfg, `header = "Authorization: token …"`, 600 perms, `jq -n --arg b "$(cat b.txt)" '{body:$b}'`) listing which note got which fix commit.
+- Edit a posted comment: `PATCH /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{N}/comments/{id}` with `{"body": ...}` — use to fix your own typos rather than double-posting.
+- Token source on this box: `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (grep the remote-URL pattern); never echo it.
+
+## Why this works
+
+The PR page is server-rendered with full inline comment bodies; Gitea's "Copy Source" UI element guarantees the raw text is present pre-markdown-render.

-# Noctalia v5 bar layout edit
-
 Bar widget layout on Frank's noctalia v5 workstations is GUI-override state, not config.toml.

 ## Where
- Layout file: `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` → `[bar.<name>]` keys `start` / `center` / `end` (arrays of widget ids; `[widget.<id>]` subtables hold per-widget settings).
- On Frank's boxes this file MUST be a **symlink into the command-center repo** (e.g. `~/.omp/dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`) — edit the repo file, not the link path (atomic-rename writes through the link path would replace the symlink).
+- Layout file: `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` -> `[bar.<name>]` keys `start` / `center` / `end` (arrays of widget ids; `[widget.<id>]` subtables hold per-widget settings).
+- On Frank's boxes this file MUST be a **symlink into the command-center repo** (e.g. `~/.omp/dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`) - edit the repo file, not the link path (atomic-rename writes through the link path would replace the symlink).
 - Layer order: built-in defaults < `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml` (+`[include]`) < `settings.toml` (wins). Noctalia writes through symlinks and keeps them.
- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`.
- **Noctalia rewrites this file itself** (GUI actions + normalizes keys/format, e.g. strips `{:%...}` braces, reorders widget lists). Always re-read the exact lines immediately before editing; stale line anchors WILL drift between reads.
+- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`, `end = ["notifications","clipboard","network","bluetooth","tray","battery","session","control-center","clock"]`.

-## GUI→repo propagation (checkout-is-deployment)
- `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml` is symlinked into the repo → GUI settings writes land in the repo working tree automatically.
- `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` can SILENTLY become a plain file (observed 2026-10-17; hardlink/symlink wiring decays) → GUI bar-layout changes then diverge from the repo with no signal. AUDIT: `readlink ~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` must print the repo path; if it's a plain file and repo copy is content-identical, re-arm: `ln -sfn <repo-path> <live-path>` + `noctalia config validate`.
- Landing in the working tree ≠ propagated: other boxes only see it after commit + push to Gitea main. `live-sync.path` (PR #15; DirectoryNotEmpty on `dotfiles/`) commits dotfiles-tier writes within ~2 s once deployed — until it is active on a box, the hourly heartbeat leaves up to 59 min of exposure, and on 2026-10-18 exactly that window let a trunk-sync stash destroy months of GUI layout work. Until verified active (`systemctl --user status live-sync.path`), commit GUI layout edits the same session yourself. Noctalia's runtime churn (wallpaper path, nightlight, panel positions) rides along; normal.
- niri has NO settings GUI; niri "GUI changes" don't exist, and `niri msg output ...` runtime overrides are not persisted. niri cfg mirror↔live links also decay (all inodes decoupled once) → audit by CONTENT: `diff` every `~/.config/niri/cfg/*.kdl` against its `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/...` mirror, never trust links.
+## Clobber window and recovery (2026-10-18 incident law)
+- GUI-built layout is **working-tree-only until the hourly live-sync heartbeat commits it**. A merge/sync session that "clears the dirty tree" can `git stash` those edits, and later stash operations can destroy the entries - customizations then vanish from the live bar with the repo copy stale.
+- Never blame the GUI or noctalia first: diff live file vs `HEAD`, check heartbeat commits (`git log -- dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`), then the stash chain.
+- Destroyed stashes are recoverable: `git fsck --lost-found` lists dangling commits; `git show <dangling>:dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` dumps each candidate; pick by `[bar.default]` richness (capsule groups, extra clock instances). Validate a candidate in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before touching the live file.
+- After recovery, commit the file immediately so the window closes.

-## If the bar got wiped (recovery)
- The working-tree file is often the ONLY copy of GUI work; a `git checkout`/stash/merge clobber is survivable because git objects outlive stash entries: `git fsck --lost-found`, inspect `git log -1 --format='%ci %s' <dangling>` (newest `WIP on` stash commits hold the last good settings.toml), dump with `git show <c>:dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`.
- Before restoring: back up the clobbered file to `.AGENTTRASH/`; validate the candidate in a sandbox (`XDG_CONFIG_HOME=… XDG_STATE_HOME=… noctalia config validate` — plugin-widget "unrecognized type" warnings there are offline-CLI blindness, not blockers); restore via `cp` onto the repo path (cp writes through the symlink; `mv` would replace it); prove visually with `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen`; commit immediately.
- Cross-check the recovered layout against Frank's old screenshots in `~/Pictures/screenshot_*.png` (crop top ~7% with magick) — they are ground truth for what the bar should look like.
+## Widgets (v5 census, verified 2026-10-17)
+- Full roster in `settings.toml` widget_order plus docs: activity, backlinks, battery, bluetooth, brief, bright, cat, cheatsheet, chart, clipby, clipboard, control-center, cpu, controls, cava (now playing), disk, gpu, help, keyboard, language, launcher, mediaplayer, memory, mic, network, night-light, noctalia-palette, notification-history, notifications, niri-colors, power-section, power-profile, screenrecord, scratchpad, screenshot, session, shell (custom shell command), slowouts, slowouts-visible (per-output bar assignment), speedtest, swayosd-*, taskbar, tray, voiceline, volume, wallpaper, weather, workspaces.
+- `clock` widget: `format` (chrono strftime), `schema` (12/24), `multi_line`, `show_seconds`, `popup`, and **timezone** = IANA name. Multiple clock widget instances are supported: ids like `clock`, `clock-utc`, `clock-sea` each get a `[widget.<id>]` subtable -> one capsule per instance. This is how multi-timezone (Seattle work + UTC dev) lands: add `clock` + `clock-utc` to `end` (or `center`), set `timezone = "Etc/UTC"` on the utc one.
+- `cat` widget: shows random ASCII art, `rows` setting (4-10).
+- `shell` widget: `command`, `run interval` (seconds), `icon`, `terminal`; output lands in its capsule popup - can wrap any CLI (hyprstatus-style).
+- `taskbar` widget: shows window buttons **only on outputs where `niri-bridged` is enabled** (noctalia-launcher enables it). Buttons render **icon-only** (app icon from icon theme; fallback = first letter of title); the window title string is NOT shown in the bar. Hover tooltip carries title + app_name. Per-widget settings: `show_icons`, `show_actions`, `disable_middle_click`, `preferred_app_names` (map app_name -> icon for missing icons).
+- Widget ids usable in `[bar.*].start|center|end` are restricted to "bar widgets" (`is_bar_widget` allowlist in `bar.rs`); non-bar widget ids are silently dropped at load. `group:<id>` entries render capsule groups.
+- Capsule groups: `[bar.<name>.capsule_groups]` id = `["widget",...]`.
+- Niri layout law for bars: window width must stay **odd** (strut = (W-1)/2); bars reserve via layer-shell, niri's reserved area = layer surface size, so bar height changes need no niri edit.

-## Apply/verify loop (no restart, no reload IPC)
-1. Edit the repo `settings.toml`.
-2. `noctalia config validate` (checks merged layers; also `noctalia config export [full] | yq -p toml` to inspect effective values).
-3. Both layers are file-watched → hot-reload. Prove visually: `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen` saves a PNG to `~/Pictures`; read the image and inspect the bar.
-4. **Screenshot race:** the `ok` return precedes the PNG write. Never chain `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen && magick "$(ls -t ~/Pictures/screenshot_*.png | head -1)" ...` in one command — you crop the PREVIOUS capture. List `ls -t` in a separate later call and crop the named file.
-5. Crop for reading: `magick <png> -crop 100%x8%+0+0 +repage /tmp/strip.png`, then read the strip; cross-check clocks against `date -u` / `date`.
+## Bar styles (GUI-visible, settings.toml keys)
+- `[bar.*]`: `thickness`, `font_family`, `font_weight`, `font_size`, `opacity`, `border_width`, `border_offset`, `rounded`, `paddings`, `icon_ratio`, `follow_layout`, `output`, `exclusive`, `layer` (`bottom` = below window layer; `overlay` = above windows), `position` (`top`/`bottom`).
+- Per-monitor bars: add a `[bar.<name>]` with `output = "<monitor>"` and `follow_layout = true` (niri) -> per-workspace strut follows tall windows on that monitor. This is the mechanism for "bar shrinks when a window is tall" (the bar is a layer-shell strut, NOT a niri layer rule).
+- The GUI "Bar" page is the reference list; anything absent from settings.toml is a built-in default.

-## Clock widgets
- `[widget.clock]` settings: `format`, `vertical_format`, `tooltip_format`, `timezone` (IANA id, e.g. `"UTC"`, `""` = system local). Tokens are strftime-compatible (`%H` 24h, `%I:%M %p` 12h, `%F` ISO date); `{:%...}` brace fields optional; `\n` = second line. Docs: docs.noctalia.dev → bar/widgets/clock + configuration/date-format-tokens.
- **One timezone per widget; multiple instances allowed:** any `[widget.<id>]` needs `type = "clock"` for custom ids (bare `clock` id infers it). Each instance converts independently — e.g. local 12h + `timezone = "UTC"` 24h side by side.
- Placement: add ids to `[bar.<name>]` start/center/end, or to a capsule group: `[[bar.default.capsule_group]]` with `id = "g1"` + `members = [...]`, referenced from `start` as `"group:g1"` (member order = left-to-right inside the capsule).
- Local date + local 12h fit in ONE widget (same tz); the UTC 24h clock must be a second widget.
- Expect the date widget (local) and UTC clock to disagree on the day after ~5 PM Seattle — that's correct UTC, not a bug; offer `%F` inside the UTC widget if it irks.
+## Slowouts (window-height-aware bars/panels)
+- `slowouts` = hidden engine (not a bar capsule): `[slowouts]` keys `enabled`, `duration`, `easing`, `trigger_offset`; per-monitor `[slowouts.<monitor-name>]` overrides (e.g. `DP-1`) with the same keys plus `edge`.
+- `position = "top"` + `exclusive = false` + slowouts on the monitor -> panel hides when a window touches its edge, re-reveals otherwise. `slowouts-visible` = toggle capsule.
+- **Slowouts needs niri workspace-autoresize ON** (niri `workspace-autoresize` = "per-workspace" in cfg/layout.kdl `output ... { workspace-autoresize per-workspace }`): noctalia computes hide from workspace height < panel bottom edge; uniform-strut layouts never trigger it.
+- Per-output bars: slowouts config keys are monitor names, so one `[bar.<x>]` with `output` + `exclusive=false` + `layer=overlay` per slowout monitor is the supported shape.

-## Taskbar recipes
- Move window indicator beside workspaces: put `"taskbar"` in `start` after `"workspaces"`.
- Combine workspaces+windows into ONE widget: `[widget.taskbar] group_by_workspace = true` — per-workspace capsules with disc labels (focused/occupied/empty/urgent colors); `workspace_group_content = "icons"|"count"|"dots"` (count/dots: left-click activates the workspace); `hide_empty_workspaces`, `show_workspace_label`, `minimal`, `workspace_label_placement = corner|centered|inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no → stays flat).
+## Layout modes and window title decorations
+- `[layout]`: `mode` (`tiling`|`floating`|`monocle`), `pseudotiled`, `focus_bar` (window-title bar at top, center, layer-shell; style via `[ui.controls...]`/bar-ish settings), `window_follows_cursor`, `gaps`, `border_width`, `rounded`, `blur`, `opacity`, `borderless_csd`, `show_native_decoration`.
+- `focus_bar` is the noctalia analog of niri's drawn window title, but ONE global bar (no per-window arrows). True per-window title tags = niri `draw-with-border` on window rules; noctalia adds no per-window decoration (it's a bar app + portal, composites nothing).
+- Floating mode: right-click desktop / `SUPER+Shift+F` / toggle widget; widgets `floating-directories`, `floating-files`, `pins` (sticky notes), `canvas`, `sketchpad`, `post-its`. Float windows snap to screen quarters (`SUPER+Ctrl+Alt+Arrows`) and tile into current layout (`SUPER+Shift+T`). `[layout.floating.files]` = icon/view/sort/preview size.
+- `[bar.*].window_display` = `disabled`|`icons`|`text`|`combined` - per-window chips in the bar strip (niri only; this is what niri-taskbar could not do). Values: `disabled`|`icons`|`centered`|`inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no -> stays flat).
 - The `workspaces` widget itself has no window display; styles are regular/minimal/focus_hint only.

 ## Law
 - Full widget/setting tables: https://docs.noctalia.dev/noctalia/bar/ and .../bar/widgets/<name>/ . Commit bar changes atomically to the command-center repo (checkout is the deployment).
- **Ask before applying.** Frank asks "how do I X" questions about the live bar; answer with the exact snippet + file, apply ONLY on explicit go. A settings.toml edit is a live-deployment change, not a demo. (Exception: restoring Frank's own layout after data loss, on his ask.)
- Git `M` on settings.toml usually carries noctalia's own runtime churn (wallpaper path, nightlight, panel positions) alongside your edit — mention it when committing.

+description: "Extract and port a working implementation from omp's minified dist/cli.js bundle (copy-not-invent requests); anchors, python slicing, regex-constant sweep, trace-driven test prediction."
+---
+
+# Porting built-in omp behavior out of the minified bundle
+
+Use when Frank says "copy the omp implementation / work off known-working code" — i.e. port a built-in feature (vocalizer segmentation, retry logic, formatting rules) into our own file instead of hand-rolling a heuristic. For merely *auditing behavior claims*, use `omp-bundle-claim-audit`; this skill is extraction-for-porting.
+
+Bundle: `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js` (minified; single-letter names, private `#x` fields survive).
+
+## Extraction recipe
+
+1. **Find the setting/entry strings first.** `grep -o 'ce({id:"<area>[^"]*"[^}]\{0,200\}' cli.js` — setting descriptions state semantics verbatim (e.g. `speech.enhanced` = "Rewrite assistant output into natural spoken prose with the tiny/smol model"). Descriptions are quotable ground truth.
+2. **Anchor to code with a distinctive token**, not guesses: a method name (`pushDelta`), a state init, or a string. Then slice generously with python (bash heredoc), NOT grep -o which truncates:
+   ```python
+   src = open('cli.js').read()
+   i = src.index('pushDelta'); print(src[i-1500:i+3000])
+   ```
+3. **Follow the constructor**: pipeline classes instantiate collaborators there (`this.#t ??= new fHe` → `fHe` is the real worker; `#g()` returned `{speakable:new fHe, pending:[]…}`). Dump `class fHe{` +4000 chars.
+4. **Regex/helper sweep**: minified code declares shared constants in a trailing `var a,b,c,…` list and initializes them elsewhere (`Xyr=`, `Pwc=function`). Loop the names with `re.search(rf'{name}=', src)` and print ~400 chars each — the actual boundary/cleanup rules live in these one-liners.
+5. Write slices to `/tmp/*.txt` and `read` them; don't eyeball megabyte greps.
+
+## Port rules
+
+- Rename fields/methods to readable names but keep logic **1:1** — the value is behavioral fidelity (Frank's "known-working set of code").
+- Private `#x` fields port cleanly: TS classes in Bun extensions support `#`.
+- Global-regex `.lastIndex=0` before each scan loop — minified code relies on it; keep it.
+
+## Verification shortcut
+
+Before running tests, **hand-trace** each test input through the ported rules (boundary indices, state transitions) and predict exact segment counts/strings; then run — predicted-vs-actual mismatch localizes port errors faster than test output alone. Worked example (2026-10-19, dankvoice PR #26): traced `"First stop here. Second one goes!!! Really? Third ... done"` → predicted 3 segments incl. `"Third ... done"` merged via flush (10-char boundary < 24-char started-min) → bats green first run.
+
+## Known anchors (2026-10-19 bundle)
+
+- Speak-aloud vocalizer pipeline: class `I6o` (gating on `speech.enabled`, suspend counter, enhancer, `#g()` per-message state).
+- Utterance segmenter: class `fHe` + helpers `Pwc` (line-head classify), `Iwc`/`_wc`/`b6o`/`w6o` (boundary search), `Cwc`+`y6o` (cleanup: links→label, URL→host, path→basename). Regex consts: `Xyr` sentence-end runs, `pHe` weak breaks, `mwc` abbreviations, `hwc` undecided line-heads, `g6o` horizontal rules.
+- Port already living in `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` (`SpeechSegmenter`) — when the bundle updates, re-extract `fHe` and diff against it before assuming our copy still matches.

+description: "Verify an omp extension's slash commands and event hooks against a real TUI session: pty submit semantics, observable side-effect instrument, transient-toast trap, agent_end willContinue law, PipeWire output triage."
+---
+
+Verify that a `.ts` file in `agent/extensions/` actually works inside the interactive TUI — the black-box bats seam cannot see harness-side wiring (event names, arg passing, mode gating), and it will pass beside a dead hook.
+
+Distinct from `omp-tui-live-visual-verify` (config/theme rendering proven by screenshot): here the instrument is **observable side effects**, not pixels, because extension notifications are transient toasts that vanish before the pty buffer is read.
+
+## 1. Launch the exact build under test
+
+```bash
+omp --no-extensions --no-session -e /abs/path/agent/extensions/<name>.ts
+```
+as a **pty service** (`pty: true`, `ready: {"log": "╭|❯|Tip:|─", "timeout": 60}`).
+`--no-extensions` + explicit `-e` proves the file loads by path and nothing else interferes. Neutral cwd (`/tmp`) so repo state cannot color the run.
+
+## 2. Submit input correctly (the costly gotcha)
+
+`write proc://<id>` with a trailing `\n` does **not** submit — the text just sits in the composer.
+
+- **Works:** two writes — first `"/cmd args"` (no terminator), then a **separate** write whose whole content is `\r`.
+- **Broken:** `"/cmd args\r"` in one write. It still submits, but the trailing `\r` arrives inside the command args. Symptom: `unknown voice 'narrator1\r'`, an unexpected extra utterance, or a chat message whose transcript line ends in a literal `\r`. That is a harness artifact — never "fix" it by stripping control characters in the extension (`.trim()` already covers what a keyboard can produce).
+
+## 3. Instrument with a stub, never with ears or eyes
+
+Point the extension's player/handler at a script that appends evidence:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+echo "$1" >> /tmp/stub.log; cp "$1" "/tmp/out-$$.wav"; exit 0
+```
+Run the TUI with that stub in the env the extension reads (`DANKVOICE_PLAYER=…` style). Then every assertion is a file: `wc -l` of the log (how many times it fired), `ffprobe -show_entries format=duration` (what it produced), `ls -d <tmp-glob>` (that cleanup ran).
+
+Sequence per behavior: command → CR → short `sleep` → count. **Count before and after** each command; the delta is the only honest proof a subcommand stayed silent.
+
+## 4. Discriminate "fired twice" from "fired once per turn"
+
+Stray CR writes can create extra empty turns, each with its own `agent_end` — two utterances for one intended prompt is usually **two turns**, not a duplicate speak. Confirm by counting assistant turns in the transcript (`read proc://<id>`), and by matching each clip's duration to its own answer's length.
+
+## 5. Event-hook contract traps
+
+- `agent_end` payload (`dist/types/extensibility/shared-events.d.ts`): `{ type, messages: AgentMessage[], willContinue? }`. **`willContinue: true` means the harness already scheduled a continuation** (auto-retry / empty-stop retry) — a subscriber that narrates or notifies there speaks an answer the model is about to redo. Gate on it.
+- Read the real event/payload shape from `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/types/…`; grep `dist/cli.js` for the literal event names to confirm they exist.
+- A driver test that *calls* the handler by hand proves nothing about emission — that is exactly the gap this live check closes.
+
+## 6. Audio output goes silent while every command reports success
+
+`pw-play` exits 0 and prints `stream drained` even when nobody hears anything. Triage order:
+
+```bash
+wpctl status                       # Sinks, the `*` default, and live Streams
+wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@
+```
+- A **`Default Configured Devices` entry naming a `bluez_output.*` node that is not in the Sinks list** = remembered-but-offline Bluetooth: the classic silent-route cause.
+- Confirm the stream really links: a short clip can vanish before inspection, so use a multi-second clip and read `wpctl status` mid-play, or target explicitly: `pw-play --target <node-id> <file>` (node ids from `wpctl status`; `wpctl inspect <id>` gives `node.name`).
+- Prove the synth path independently of the player: `curl -o x.wav …` then `file x.wav` (expect `RIFF … WAVE … PCM`).
+
+## 7. Land it
+
+Live result belongs in the commit message, the reference page, and the work log — and the guard the live check uncovered gets its own behavior test (assert observable output only: fired count, payload content, silence).
+
+## Cleanup
+
+`/exit` or `proc://<id>/kill` the service; move stub scripts, logs, and clips to `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` — never `rm`. Kill background jobs that keep playing to the operator's speakers.

 Body is `{model, input, response_format, voice?, speed?}`; `voice` is forwarded
-only when explicitly set; `sample_rate`/`bit_rate` **throw**
+**only** when the caller passed `voice_id`; `sample_rate`/`bit_rate` **throw**
 (`openai-speech does not support sampleRate`). Codec comes from the
 `output_path` suffix; 15 000-character cap. An unknown `voice` name is a server
 error, not a fallback — and `auth: none` makes a dead endpoint read as
 *available*, so point `modelRoles.speech` at such a provider only after it has
 answered a real synthesis.
+
+# Three speech-role laws (bundle-read + measured 2026-10-18)
+
+1. **No setting carries a voice for `openai-speech`.** The transport builds the
+   body with `voice` from the call's `voice_id` and nothing else.
+   `tts.localVoice` is the *local Kokoro backend's* key; `speech.voice` is the
+   TUI's **speak-aloud** voice, an enum of Kokoro names that never reaches an
+   HTTP request (setting it to a pack name breaks the vocalizer and does nothing
+   for synthesis — read `cfgSpeechVoice` in `dist/cli.js` before believing
+   otherwise). So a voice-less call is the harness's **normal** shape: a
+   voice-required endpoint needs a server-side default (fleet answer:
+   `DEFAULT_VOICE` in `scripts/frank-tts.env`, journal marks the line
+   `(default)`, unknown names still 400 with the list).
+2. **An explicit role has no fallback candidate.** `modelRoles.speech` set to one
+   model yields exactly one candidate, so a dead endpoint or an unresolvable
+   selector fails with *"No available speech model matches the speech role"*
+   instead of degrading to Kokoro. Loud-by-design; do not "fix" it by adding a
+   fallback in the client.
+3. **`models.yml` loads at process start; `config.yml` is read live.** A session
+   older than the new row fails exactly like a dead endpoint while a fresh
+   process succeeds in the same minute.
+
+# Diagnosing "speech device won't speak" — in this order
+
+1. `curl` the endpoint directly with a real voice name. 200 + audio ⇒ the service
+   is fine and the fault is harness-side; stop touching the server.
+2. Control test in the *same* session: point `modelRoles.speech` at
+   `local/kokoro` and call the device. It works ⇒ `config.yml` is live-read and
+   the runner selector or its voice argument is the problem, not the endpoint.
+   Revert the role immediately after.
+3. Distinguish stale registry from dead endpoint with a fresh process:
+   `omp -p --no-session --no-extensions --no-skills --no-rules --tools tts --cwd /tmp
+   'Call the tts tool exactly once with text="…" output_path=/tmp/x.wav
+   voice_id=<name> — then reply with the tool result line.'`
+   Succeeds ⇒ the long-lived session predates the `models.yml` row; restart it.
+4. Cross-check server-side, never trust the client's echo: the façade/access log
+   line and the engine's own ledger must carry the same byte count the tool
+   printed. (`model=…` in a tool result is what the client *requested*; a server
+   line is the fact.)
+5. For harness-behaviour claims, read the bundle rather than reasoning from the
+   tool description: `/home/blank/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`,
+   e.g. `grep -o -E '.{300}response_format:[a-zA-Z$]+.{250}'` for the speech body
+   builder, `grep -o -E 'cfgSpeechVoice:.{0,400}'` for what a settings key feeds.

-## Rules
-
- Each question addresses **exactly one work item**. A round may contain many questions covering different work items; a question may not.
- Never merge two artefacts into one option because they share an implementation dependency. Sharing an endpoint, a service, or a build step is NOT grounds for one question. (`frank-tts` serving both a podcast and an audiobook generator produced exactly this bug.)
- Never offer something Frank did not ask for inside another question's option text. If an idea is mine, it gets its own question or stays out of the plan; it never rides along as "…and also X" in an option label or preview.
- Do not derive option wording from my own scaffolding (todo text, my table row labels, my runbook headings). Derive it from his stated goal.
- Mark the recommended option; a bare "yes" must accept it.
- Facts are mine to fetch (subagent/scout), never a question for him. Only decisions go to him.
- A question whose answer depends on an unsettled fact or another open question belongs to a **later round**, not this one.

-
- One option: "Audiobook/podcast factory — open-notebook + EPUB→narration builder." Two products, one shared dependency, zero requests for the second one. He answered "I never asked for audiobook generation."

+---
+
+Audit OpenWebUI's TTS/STT wiring on Dankclaw when a voice is rejected, synthesis is silent, or someone asks "is the cloned voice wired correctly". Not for model-picker/ACL issues (openwebui-picker-acl-repair owns those).
+
+## Shape of the stack
+- Container `open-webui` runs **rootless as `dank`** on Dankclaw: `ssh dankclaw 'podman exec open-webui ...'` (NO sudo: `sudo podman` sees an empty world). Host port 3005.
+- Server-side config = `webui.db` `config` table (admin), per-user overrides = `user.settings` JSON column. Settings changed via UI persist per-user; admin page persists to `config`.
+- Cloned voices live behind the frank-tts façade `:7772` (`/v1/audio/speech`, `/v1/audio/voices`); voices resolve to `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav`.
+
+## The trap (2026-10-18 law)
+`Error: Voice "narrator1" not found. Should be one of: af_heart, ...` (29 names) is **OpenWebUI's bundled in-browser Kokoro** (`browser-kokoro`) rejecting client-side — frank-tts never sees the request. Signature: container logs show zero `audio/speech` hits. Fix = the personal dropdown Settings -> Audio -> TTS Engine -> Default (empty string), not any deploy.
+
+## Probe sequence (read-only, safe)
+1. Admin truth:
+   `podman exec open-webui python -c "import sqlite3; c=sqlite3.connect('/app/backend/data/webui.db'); [print(k,'=',v) for k,v in sorted(dict(c.execute('SELECT key,value FROM config')).items()) if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()]"`
+   Expect: `audio.tts.engine=openai`, `audio.tts.openai.api_base_url=http://host.containers.internal:7772/v1`, `audio.tts.model=frank-tts`, `audio.tts.voice=<cloned name>`.
+2. User overrides — a user pinned to `browser-kokoro` beats admin config. CAUTION: `user.settings` can be SQL NULL or the JSON string `"null"`:
+   `... for uid,s in c.execute('SELECT id,settings FROM user'): d=json.loads(s) if s else None; d=d if isinstance(d,dict) else {}; hits={k:v for k,v in d.items() if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()} ...`
+3. Endpoint truth: `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` (roster), then POST the exact OpenWebUI body `{"model":"frank-tts","input":"probe","voice":"narrator1","response_format":"mp3","speed":1.0}` to `/v1/audio/speech` — expect `200 audio/mpeg`.
+4. Contrast logic: server-path failure leaves a container log line AND a façade error; browser-kokoro failure leaves neither.
+
+## Law
+- Full contract + diagnosis live in serverAppConfigs docs (`Dankclaw/OpenWebUI.md` § Text-to-speech, `Dankclaw/Frank TTS.md` troubleshooting). Docs are the source; this skill is just the probe route.

Identical copies collapse by realpath; differing same-named copies survive namespaced `agents/<name>` with a startup warning — so when authoring an override, REMOVE the store twin (`npx -y skills remove <name> -g`; prunes lockfile too) or `skills update -g` resurrects a twin.
+
+## Procedure (retroactive registration)
+1. List the repo/live skill dirs to register; identify true sources (per-skill — e.g. `find-skills` is `vercel-labs/skills`, not `mattpocock/skills`).
+2. Drift check FIRST, per skill, before anything moves: `diff -rq <live>/<name> ~/.agents/skills/<name>` after canonical install; abort-and-report on drift (byte-identical = clean cutover).
+3. Canonical install (scratch dir with a package.json; global scope): `npx -y skills add <owner>/<repo> --all -g` (+ per extra source `npx -y skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills --agent universal -g`). Artifacts: store dirs + `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json`; verify `jq '.skills|length'`.
+4. Authored extraction (only for skills the user will customize): copy dir into repo `agent/skills/<name>/`, add an "Authored override" note after frontmatter, then `npx -y skills remove <name> -g` and confirm `jq '.skills|has("<name>")' == false`.
+5. Clear repo copies of store-managed skills (repo records authored overrides ONLY). Live cutover after merge: move old dirs to /tmp snapshot, `git merge --ff-only origin/main` in the live checkout.
+6. `skills ls` from a repo containing `agent/skills` mislabels skills as Eve project skills (path collision) — attribution noise, ignore.
+7. Fresh-box recipe (three commands, no wiring): add `--all -g`, add find-skills, `remove grilling -g`.
+
+## Gotchas
+- Eve/Codex `agents/openai.yaml` files ride along from upstream; omp ignores them — prune from authored dirs (they get swept off disk elsewhere, leaving phantom ` D` in git status).
+- `skills remove` prunes only global scope if `-g` given; check lockfile after.
+- Mid-run doc readers (subagents) may see pre-cutover trees — send them a correction message, don't let stale advice ship in issue bodies.

+description: "Engine-agnostic census of whether an AMD Strix Halo / Ryzen AI host can run anything on its XDNA2 NPU: driver bind, firmware, device perms, IOMMU, distro XRT, missing AIE compiler, fabric clock, RAM headroom."
+---
+
+Use when asked "can we run <engine/model> on the Strix Halo / Ryzen AI NPU?" for a runtime that is **not** halogen (halogen has its own gate + vendor catalog: use `halogen-npu-feasibility-census` for that). This answers only: is the *host* able, and what is missing.
+
+## Why it is usually the wrong door first
+
+XDNA2 executes **precompiled AIE partition programs** loaded through XRT → `amdxdna`. There is no generic tensor dispatch: an engine built on ggml/llama.cpp (or any GGUF loader) cannot "enable" the NPU — the port must be a re-export + vendor compile, not a flag. So pair this census with the accelerator the same engine *can* select by build flag (Vulkan/HIP on the gfx1151 iGPU) before proposing NPU work.
+
+## Census (all read-only, over ssh from the operator box)
+
+```bash
+ssh <host> '
+cat /proc/cmdline; ls /sys/kernel/iommu_groups | wc -l      # iommu=pt required; groups==0 => IOMMU off => NPU dead

+
+## Reading it
+
+- Driver bound + `accel0` + firmware dir + `iommu=pt` ⇒ **kernel side is ready**; do not re-litigate "is the NPU disabled". A missing device node is *not* the modern failure mode.
+- `auto` on `pp_dpm_fclk` / `power_dpm_force_performance_level` ⇒ fabric clock **unheld**. GPU+NPU concurrently with a moving fclk hangs these hosts and corrupts NPU results; any NPU plan must pin the top fclk step (or run in a container holding it) first.
+- No `ryzenai-compile`/ONNX Ryzen AI EP ⇒ nothing on the host can produce a partition program. That is the enablement delta, and it is a toolchain install + a model-specific export/quantize/compile project, not a config change.
+- `free` headroom matters: NPU partitions want a few GB of host RAM each and can log benign `Failed to alloc dev bo memory, ret -28` under pressure.
+
+## Laws / traps
+
+- Read state only. Never probe or load the NPU beside a live inference service — stop + mask the service first (fleet benching policy); this host class has a precedent of a concurrent GPU/NPU experiment needing a power cycle.
+- `sudo podman ...` finds nothing (per-user rootless storage); run podman as the deploy user.
+- `/dev/accel/accel0` existing does not mean a context/PASID can be created; with IOMMU off the failure is at context creation, not at the node.

+name: vault-one-fact-one-owner-dedupe
+description: "\"Collapse per-payload/per-attempt vault pages into one owner page per endpoint without losing a fact: port-before-cut orphan census, doubled-page repair, trash-aware tools, delegated-write verification, index regeneration, and the merge-resolution order.\""
+---
+
+# One fact, one owner: dedupe the vault without losing a fact
+
+Use when a repo has accumulated one page per attempt/era (runbooks, bench logs, swap
+narratives) and the law is **one page owns one thing**. Applies to
+`serverAppConfigs-docs/` (Obsidian vault, `AGENTS.md` → *Documentation Policy*), but the
+mechanics are general.
+
+## 1. Decide ownership before touching files
+
+- Endpoint/service page owns: current shape, **Eras** table (window | payload | runtime |
+  shape | replaced because | rollback), **Laws**, wire contract, files.
+- Technique page owns the mechanism and the arithmetic — **no per-endpoint throughput
+  table or boot ledger**.
+- `log.md` owns incidents and laws only. A swap is an Eras row, never a log entry.
+- `AGENTS.md` carries operator-critical numbers + cross-border laws; everything else links.
+- A **retired** endpoint still gets one locator page: era windows quoted verbatim from each
+  era page's own banner, no numbers restated, and any date conflict recorded as an open
+  question instead of silently resolved. Never pick a winner between two primary sources.
+
+## 2. Single-writer rule (the mistake that costs the most)
+
+Facts get **ported into the owner page before they are cut** anywhere else. So while any
+subagent may port facts, only ONE writer may touch the owner pages. Spawn children with an
+explicit `DO NOT EDIT <owner pages>` and require a `needsPort` list in their report instead
+of letting them append. Send the narrowing message early — a child already editing them has
+to be reconciled by hand.
+
+## 3. Port-before-cut census (proves nothing was lost)
+
+For every deleted line, extract distinctive keys and check them against the vault minus the
+file being rewritten. Any line with **no** surviving key is an orphan → port, or accept
+deliberately and say so. Use `scripts/port-census.py <new-dir> <git-HEAD:path|file>` (numbers
+with ≥ 4 int digits, decimals, flags, paths, backticked spans, `--`, ALL-CAPS, or ≥ 2 hyphens).
+
+Two calibration traps:
+- **Prose words are not facts.** A hyphen or trailing period inside a word (`long-standing`,
+  `deployed:`) was counted as a tracked token while real identifiers hid behind it; that noise
+  buried 300 real lines under 979 fake ones. Strip punctuation, require fact shape.
+- **The corpus decides the question.** Corpus = the new file only → "what did this rewrite
+  drop?" Corpus = whole vault → "is the dropped fact orphaned repo-wide?" Ask one at a time.
+
+Also grep `AGENTS.md` separately — a fact it carries is not an orphan.
+
+## 4. When a page is the same page twice
+
+Signature: a page whose `wc -l` is ~2× its `HEAD` size, with a **second frontmatter block in
+the body** whose closing `---` is glued onto the end of a body/timestamp line. Cause chain: a
+frontmatter rewrite that re-reads the file it just wrote (so its own output becomes the body),
+then a fence-repair pass keyed on `line == "---"` that cannot see a glued fence and inserts a
+fence mid-page, so the next pass treats the tail as a new document.
+
+Un-double rule that worked: find the first frontmatter's close (accepting a glued fence), then
+the first `type:` line after it that has more keys (`title|description|tags|timestamp`) behind
+it — that is the second copy, and a stray `type:` in a code block has no key run. Keep the copy
+whose body is a **superset** (compare after stripping the dropped copy's own frontmatter),
+un-glue the fence, and prove `0` census losses before writing. Refuse to guess: if the halves
+differ materially, stop.
+
+## 5. `.AGENTTRASH` is not vault content
+
+Every tool that walks the vault must exclude it — **both the scan set and the resolution
+index**. The link checker resolving links *into* the trash turns "live page points at a
+deleted page" into a false PASS, which is worse than a false alarm. The `docs_completeness`
+seam's `find` must carry `-not -path '*/.AGENTTRASH/*'` in both walks, or a trashed page
+demands an index row and a trashed page can satisfy the docs requirement for a live service.
+
+Trash is gitignored; move with plain `mv` into the dated dir. `git mv` into an ignored path
+stages a rename the next agent cannot see (`git restore --staged <src> <dst>`). Never `rm`,
+never `git clean -f`.
+
+## 6. Rewire + regenerate indexes mechanically
+
+```bash
+grep -rnoE "\[\[(page-a|page-b|...)\]\]" --include="*.md" serverAppConfigs-docs | grep -v AGENTTRASH
+grep -rnoE "\((page-a|page-b|...)\.md\)"  --include="*.md" serverAppConfigs-docs | grep -v AGENTTRASH
+```
+
+Both wikilinks and markdown path refs must be repointed (Research `See Also` lists and bench
+pages are where path refs hide). Then **regenerate** index rows with a script, never by hand.
+The generator bug to check for: presence tested as a **bare stem substring** — a page whose
+name prefixes another's (`frank-medium` inside `frank-medium-rocmfpx`) then silently never
+gets a row. Test the wikilink form `[[<stem>]]`.
+
+## 7. Enforce the law with a seam
+
+`tests/docs_completeness.bats`: derive the live set instead of hardcoding it — an endpoint is
+live when `scripts/` holds **both** `<name>.env` and `<name>.service`; fail if any
+`<name>-*.md` page exists, and guard against a vacuous derivation (`derived -ge 3`). A
+re-created era page then cannot pass tests. For the length hint, prefer **derived** exemptions
+(live endpoint, or a `retired-endpoint` tag: a campaign ledger that exists nowhere else is
+owned by the page that measured it) plus one documented per-page opt-out; never let a size
+ceiling force a ledger to be split across two owners.
+
+## 8. Edit-tool hazard (costs the most time)
+
+Body rows beginning with `-` or `+` are op markers. The documented `+-` escape **writes a
+literal `+`** — do not use it. Safe rewrites inside an existing bullet: keep the `- ` opener
+line untouched and PUT only the indented continuation lines, or convert the note to a nested
+bullet whose body lines start with two/four spaces. If a wrapped `[[Two Word Page]]` shows up
+as an unresolved link, the target was hard-wrapped across lines — unwrap it.
+
+## 9. Delegated writes: verify bytes, never narrative
+
+Measured in one campaign, all four failure modes live:
+- A subagent killed by the runtime limit yielded a 495-line owner page, a verified era table
+  and a byte census — **the file did not exist** and its table was self-referential.
+- Another wrote its output to disk and died without reporting, leaving a rewritten `log.md`;
+  the census showed it had dropped laws held nowhere else.
+- Verdict tables claimed "0 sole records / no contradictions" while missing the contradiction
+  sitting in their own evidence row, and invented bullet IDs — one renamed a bullet to the
+  **opposite** claim.
+- A scout called accurate docs "WRONG" because the docs said `wip: "down"`.
+
+Rules: after ANY delegated write run `wc`/`ls` + the orphan census yourself; re-grep every
+claimed holder before cutting a line; treat `cancelled`/timed-out yields as unverified no
+matter how concrete they read; and re-read the source bullet before trusting a table's ID.
+
+## 10. Merge order (a long-lived branch under a moving main)
+
+1. Commit your work in atomic groups **before** merging (a dirty tree cannot merge cleanly).
+2. Inspect the incoming commits: `git log --oneline --stat HEAD..origin/main`. If they modify
+   a page you deleted, **port their additions into the owner page**, then merge and resolve
+   the modify/delete as `git rm`.
+3. Resolve a content block with `write conflict://<id>` (`@ours` / `@theirs` / explicit text),
+   then **`git add` the file** — resolving content does not stage it.
+4. **Re-probe live state after the merge, before you write any number.** A campaign that
+   reported fleet shapes at the start was made stale by a mid-campaign reslice on main: probe
+   `/slots` and `tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pidof <engine>)/cmdline` again at the end, and let the
+   live answer beat both your earlier probe and the docs.
+5. `git * --no-verify` is forbidden here. Sweep dead paths in `AGENTS.md`
+   (`grep -oE "[A-Za-z0-9._-]+\.md" AGENTS.md | sort -u`, then `find` each; hard-wrapped names
+   are false positives — confirm with `ls`).
+
+## 11. Verify, open, land
+
+- `./tests/run.sh` (full suite) + `python3 scripts/check-vault-links.py serverAppConfigs-docs`
+  → must print `0 unresolved links`, and the OKF linter `0 violations`.
+- Env trims: prove value-neutrality mechanically (`git show HEAD:scripts/<svc>.env | grep -E
+  '^[A-Z_]+=' | sort` vs working copy, diff empty). **`scripts/<svc>.env` is a deploy-planner
+  path**: a comment-only trim makes the next service-scoped deploy restart a healthy endpoint.
+- Open the PR through the API with a 600-perm curl config (managed skill
+  `gitea-api-pr-operations`), end the body with the `cwd:` / `session:` footer, then
+  `xdg-open <PR-URL>` the instant it exists. Never merge without Frank's current explicit OK.
+- Docs-only change ⇒ **no deploy**. Fast-forward the deploy checkout only
+  (`git -C ~/Projects/serverAppConfig merge --ff-only origin/main`).
+- Say what was NOT done, in the PR body: soft lint tallies left (missing `## Citations`),
+  conflicts left standing, repo config that was never installed on a host.

-## Runtime Stack
+## Subagent routing (harness law, 2026-10-18)

-**llama.cpp** is the inference runtime for all `frank-zealot`-class endpoints. The `frank-zealot` service runs llama.cpp master (0.5.0-dev, commit `5fc4f3c`), CUDA sm_86 build, under a root systemd unit.
+**No subagent class may route to `frank-archon`** — the operator session lives there and
+the endpoint runs 3 sequences (`--max-num-seqs 3`), so `task.maxConcurrency + 1` children
+eat the parent's own KV slots. Violation cost: three doc children + parent = 4 sequences
+on 3 slots, children ran 2 h 27 m / 2 h 45 m, the interactive session starved.
+Routing and bounds live in `~/.omp/agent/config.yml` (`task:` block — the owner; verified
+with `read cfg://task/agentModelOverrides`): heavy writers (`task`, `scout`) → frank-dragoon
+(2 slots, idle, slow card ⇒ slice work smaller), bursty readers (`reviewer`, `sonic`,
+`designer`, `librarian`) → frank-zealot (2 slots, also the compaction hub and every
+tiny/smol/plan/commit/memory role). Caps: `maxConcurrency: 2`, `maxRuntimeMs: 1800000`,
+`softRequestBudget: 120`, `maxRecursionDepth: 1` (children never spawn children).
+`cfg://.../save` approvals auto-deny after a hardcoded 10 s dialog — after Frank has
+approved a change, edit `config.yml` directly and validate the YAML; a running session
+picks global-config edits up at once. Full procedure: managed skill
+`bounding-subagent-runtime`.

-## Resolution Rules
-
-Official model ids are StarCraft unit names, on the wire since 2026-10-09, and since 2026-10-10 they are also the SERVICE names: `frank-archon` → `192.168.0.235:7770`, `frank-dragoon` → `192.168.0.143:7770`, `frank-zealot` → `192.168.0.143:7771`.
-
-The default model resolves as a `defaultProvider` + `defaultModel` pair (provider must serve the model); a subagent override uses a bare model `id`, which resolves only when unique across providers. Two ports on one host need two providers — the file cannot express "same host, different port".
-
-When renaming a service, retiring an endpoint, or moving a model: update the provider block, model `id`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `input` in `models.yml`, then fix every `modelRoles` entry that named the old endpoint — a role pointing at a provider the file does not define fails at call time. As of 2026-10-06 **all three endpoints accept images** (`input: [text, image]`) — `frank-dragoon` returned to vision with the flash-server v2 swap, while `frank-archon` takes them natively and `frank-zealot` through its BF16 mmproj.
-
-Reasoning channel differs by runtime: llama.cpp AND SGLang (qwen3 parser, live-verified) emit `reasoning_content`, vLLM emits `reasoning` — `models.yml` sets `reasoningContentField` per endpoint to match.
-
-There is **no audio** input anywhere in the fleet: that capability left with the FLM NPU endpoint on 2026-09-11, returned 2026-09-17 with the Gemma4 projector's audio encoder, and left again with the Gemma4 retirement on 2026-10-01.
-
-## Boot Persistence & Self-Healing (MANDATORY)
-
-Every deployed, working Podman container MUST have a self-healing, boot-persistent Quadlet unit. A container that runs only from `compose.yaml` or a manual `podman run` dies silently at reboot — rootless Podman does not auto-start bare containers, and `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive the explicit stop that shutdown performs. Never report such a service as "up".
-
-Unit requirements:
-
- **Boot persistence** — `[Install] WantedBy=default.target`, installed to `~/.config/containers/systemd/<name>.container`, enabled in the user manager, with linger on for the deploy user (`loginctl show-user dank -p Linger` → `Linger=yes`).
- **Self-healing** — `Restart=always` (or `on-failure`) with a short `RestartSec`; quadlet health check where the service has one.
- **Repo provenance** — the `.container` file lives in this repo (`<host>/<svc>/quadlet/`), is installed by the deployer, and is covered by the quadlet test seam. The host-side unit is generated state; the repo file is the source of truth.
-
-Before declaring a service deployed: `systemctl --user is-enabled <name>` → `enabled`, `is-active` → `active`, and the container answers its health check.
-
-A running container with no unit is a gap: write the unit, test it, deploy it.

-This rule exists because reboots found gaps twice (2026-08-26: Caddy as a bare compose container never returned; 2026-09-11: five observability services had no units). The observability services now have units under `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/` and their compose definitions were removed — one owner per container name. The stack is **configured and delivering as of 2026-09-17**: a Grafana datasource and the `llm-fleet` dashboard are provisioned from `shared/grafana/provisioning/`, `shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml` loads 5 alert rules + 1 recording rule, and firing rules are delivered: Prometheus → Alertmanager (`dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alertmanager.container`, loopback :9093) → host-side Signal relay (`scripts/signal-relay.py`, user unit, 192.168.0.143:18093 — the host LAN IP, the one bind a container can reach as `host.containers.internal`; iptables admits loopback, the host and the podman bridge subnet only) → signal-cli account 318311.
-
-Prometheus targets read down for structural reasons (HTML-scraped "probes", Gitea metrics off); the remedy is a blackbox exporter. See `serverAppConfigs-docs/Infrastructure/Observability.md`.
-
-## Benchmarking Policy (MANDATORY)
-
-**STOP the production service BEFORE benchmarking** — these servers serve real users, and a bench beside a live service starves the GPU and corrupts results. Use the runtime's own harness: `llama-bench` for the llama.cpp endpoints; a live llama.cpp server also reports honest per-request numbers in the `/completion` `timings` object (prefill/decode rates, `draft_n`, `draft_n_accepted`), which is how frank-dragoon and frank-zealot were measured. Rolling your own bench requires asking first.
-
-Scratch ports are not used on LLM hosts — a test process cannot share the single GPU anyway; validate against the service itself.
-
-A gufo-era law: **`gufo bench` cannot rank speculative-decode settings, and will invert the ranking.**
-
-Measured 2026-09-28 on frank-dragoon at depth 32768: its corpus reports `acceptance=0.933 ± 0.000` with an **identical trace sha256** across draft widths, i.e. the same highly-predictable text every run, and 93 % of every proposal accepted. It reported 29–37 t/s decode where real traffic gives ~15 t/s, and it made `--draft-tokens 16` look 6 % faster than 7 when real text made it 14 % *slower*. Use it for shape, not for A/B. For an A/B, replay **real** text through the live server and read the `Server-Timing` header — but note the unit rides in the **name** half (`ttft;dur=402.485`), so splitting on `=` alone keys the dict `ttft;dur` and every lookup silently returns nothing. Generate **at least 128 tokens** for the measurement: at 8 tokens, `inter_token` is first-token noise and the run-to-run spread swamps every real difference.
-
-This covers **any GPU experiment, not just benchmarks** — including a bare 2-rank RCCL/`torch.distributed` probe. On 2026-09-16 one such probe was run against the live service "because it only needs 200 MB of VRAM"; the host went hard down ~20 minutes later (no ARP reply, 100% ICMP loss from two subnets, no recovery — a power cycle was required). A hung AQL dispatch wedging the GPU driver is the plausible mechanism, and this host has precedent for going unreachable until a power cycle. If an experiment needs GPUs, stop and mask first, or use a host that serves nobody. Telling an off machine from a wedged one: `ip neigh show <ip>` from a peer — FAILED means off/NIC dead, while a merely wedged kernel usually still answers ARP.
-
-1. Stop and mask (self-healing would restart it):
-   - Dankclaw `frank-dragoon` (root unit, halogen podman on the iGPU):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-dragoon && sudo systemctl mask frank-dragoon`
-   - Dankclaw `frank-zealot` (root unit, llama.cpp on the 3090):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-zealot && sudo systemctl mask frank-zealot`
-   - Dankserver `frank-archon` (root unit, radiance on both R9700s, TP=2):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-archon && sudo systemctl mask frank-archon`
-2. Bench.
-   NOTE: `systemctl mask` FAILS on a relinked unit (the unit file in `/etc/systemd/system/` is itself a symlink into the checkout — mask refuses to replace it). Stop is enough for the bench window; the deploy restores the unit, so re-deploy after benching instead of unmasking.
-3. Unmask and start; verify `curl http://192.168.0.<host>:7770/health`.
-
-**CRITICAL:** never `systemctl disable` a system unit on these hosts — it deletes the unit file from `/etc/systemd/system/`, not just the symlink. `mask` symlinks to `/dev/null` and is safe/reversible.
-
-## Subagent Lifecycle (MANDATORY)
-
-A subagent that appears stuck must have an explicit recovery path defined before the subagent is considered deployed. "Stuck" includes: silent completion halt, repeated identical responses, or extended latency without token emission.
-
-Recovery requirements:
-
- **Explicit timeout** — a hard timeout (≤30s) on the subagent's response channel, with a defined action (retry, fallback, or escalate).
- **State checkpoint** — the subagent maintains checkpoints at decision boundaries, allowing resumption from a known good state.
- **Health signal** — the subagent publishes a heartbeat (≤5s interval) that triggers the recovery path when missed.
-
-A subagent without these three properties is a gap: write the timeout, add the checkpoint, wire the heartbeat, then deploy.
-
-This rule exists because subagent hangs were observed in early deployments (2026-09-xx: silent completion halt; 2026-09-xx: repeated identical responses). The deployment script must verify the heartbeat channel is live before reporting "deployed".
-
-Before declaring a subagent deployed: verify the heartbeat endpoint returns within the timeout window, and confirm the recovery path is wired (retry/fallback/escalation logic exists in the codepath).
-
-A subagent without a heartbeat or recovery path is a gap: wire the heartbeat, add the recovery path, then deploy.

 ## Voice Generation

 - Custom voice source material must exclude the first 10 seconds of any audio sample file used to generate voices; this is a project-wide invariant across all source files, not a per-file exception.
+- Voice selector valid options: af_heart, af_alloy, af_aoede, af_bella, af_jessica, af_kore, af_nicole, af_nova, af_river, af_sarah, af_sky, am_adam, am_echo, am_eric, am_fenrir, am_liam, am_michael, am_onyx, am_puck, am_santa, bf_emma, bf_isabella, bm_george, bm_lewis, bf_alice, bf_lily, bm_daniel, bm_fable.
+
+## Input Capabilities
+
+All endpoints accept text input with optional image input: `frank-dragoon` returned to vision with the flash-server v2 swap, while `frank-archon` takes them natively and `frank-zealot` through its BF16 mmproj.
+
+There is no audio input anywhere in the fleet: that capability left with the FLM NPU endpoint on 2026-09-11, returned 2026-09-17 with the Gemma4 projector's audio encoder, and left again with the Gemma4 retirement on 2026-10-01.
+
+## Voice Usage Notes
+
+- Voice generator output does not affect token counting or inference costs — all voices are rendered post-inference.
+- Voice quality varies by source sample: exclude the first 10 seconds of any audio sample file used to generate voices; this is a project-wide invariant across all source files, not a per-file exception.
+- Voice selection is client-side only; the server does not generate or return audio data.
+
+## Load Management
+
+- Subagent settings must prevent frank-archon from being overwhelmed; concurrent request handling prioritizes endpoint stability over throughput.

+Interview the user relentlessly until nothing is silently assumed and you reach a shared understanding. Map this as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.

-Work the tree in **rounds**. The **frontier** is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled: the questions you can ask _now_ without guessing at answers you haven't heard yet. Ask the whole frontier in one round: number each question and give your recommended answer. Then wait for the user's answers before the next round.
+A decision is **frontier** when it can be asked now, without an answer you haven't heard yet. The interview is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the tree visited.

-Format a round like so:
+## Rounds

-```
-❓ **Q1** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+Work the tree in **rounds**: ask the whole frontier at once, then wait. A decision whose answer hangs on an open question or an unfetched fact joins a later round.

-➡️ <your recommended answer>
+Ask each closed decision - anything expressible as 2–5 options - through the `ask` tool:

---
+- **One artefact per question**, counted before sending. Name the artefact each question decides; two names means two questions. Shared plumbing (an endpoint, a service, a build step) still leaves two artefacts.
+- Recommended answer first, marked `recommended: 0`, which labels it "(Recommended)" for one-glance acceptance. Every reply names what was picked, so the record is unambiguous.
+- Options quote the user's goal. Their words, their stated goal, ground the wording; your todo text and table rows stay out of it.
+- Your own idea is welcome: it gets its own recommended question. Attach it to its own question, so it rides there on its merits.
+- `multi: true` for pick-many, `header` for the branch chip, `preview` when the decision needs code or config in front of the user.

-❓ **Q2** - **<question title>**: <question body, might be multiple paragraphs, including multiple choices>
+Open narrative - "walk me through the deploy flow" - has no options to offer; ask it as prose in chat. Without an `ask` tool the whole round degrades to text: `❓ **Q1 — title**: body`, then `➡️ recommendation`, phrased so one bare "yes" accepts every recommendation.

-➡️ <your recommended answer>
-```
+The dialog is exclusive: dispatch scouts before the `ask` call in the same message, or they wait behind it; their results land between rounds. Esc ends the run outright, with no turn to wrap up, so the ledger is what survives it.

-Word each question so "yes" accepts your recommended answer.
+## The ledger

-Each round the user answers reshapes the tree: settled decisions push the frontier outward and unblock questions that depended on them. Recompute the frontier and ask the next round. A question whose answer depends on another question still open in this round belongs to a _later_ round, not this one.
+The tree lives in the `todo` list while the interview runs, so the user watches it fall:

-Finding _facts_ is your job, never the user's. When a frontier question needs a fact from the environment (filesystem, tools, etc.), dispatch a sub-agent to find it; don't ask the user for anything you could look up yourself. Don't block on it: a running exploration is an unsettled prerequisite, so only the questions downstream of it wait for the sub-agent to report; ask the rest of the frontier now. The _decisions_ are the user's: put each to them and wait.
+- One task per decision, filed under the phase for its branch; `via: <parent decision>` in the task text carries the edge.
+- `pending` is the frontier; `block` with a one-line reason waits on a fact or an open decision; `done` is settled. Unblock the moment the dependency settles.

-The session is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the design tree visited, nothing left silently assumed. Do not act on it until the user confirms you have reached a shared understanding.
+Write `local://grilling-state.md` at the end of every round: the tree, each decision's verdict and one-line rationale. It is the durable copy of the interview; keep it current so an Esc costs one round.
+
+## Facts are yours, decisions are theirs
+
+- Environment facts (filesystem, repo, live config): dispatch a **scout** per fact-cluster, batched into one `task` call, before the round's `ask`. Cluster tightly; doing so keeps each scout more aware of possible adjacencies.
+- Outside-world facts: call `web_search` directly, do not delegate to a subagent.
+- Cheap lookups: `read`/`grep` inline.
+- The main session is where questions happen: every spawn carries the exact facts to return, and comes back into the next round.
+
+## Definition of Done
+
+The frontier is empty and nothing sits blocked. Distil the ledger into a **brief**: one line per decision, verdict plus rationale, grouped by branch. Put it in chat, then one closing `ask`: "Proceed on this brief?" Nothing executes before that yes. After it, fold the brief into the project's knowledge base, or a log markdown file, wherever the project keeps its decisions.

+# dankvoice
+
+`agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` adds cloned-voice speech to the interactive
+harness: `/say` opens the options menu, `/say <text>` speaks through the
+speakers and `/say on` narrates the assistant's thinking and final answer
+after every turn. The words are first rewritten into natural spoken prose by
+the **@tiny** role model (exactly what the built-in vocalizer's
+`speech.enhanced` does), and everything is served by **frank-tts**
+(Dankclaw :7772, the `speech` model role in [agent/models.yml](/core/index.md)).
+
+## Why it exists
+
+Nothing built into the harness can pronounce Frank's cloned voices.
+
+| Surface | Engine | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|
+| TUI speak-aloud (`speech.enabled`, `speech.voice`) | bundled Kokoro ONNX worker, `synthesizeStream(voice, speed, signal)` | Kokoro voice enum only; never consults `models.yml` or the speech role |
+| `omp say [TEXT]` | same local backend (`--model` = *local* model key) | `omp say --voice narrator1 "test"` → `error: Expected --voice to be one of: af_heart, af_bella, af_nicole, af_kore, af_sarah, am_michael, am_fenrir, am_puck, bf_emma, bm_george, bm_fable` (verified 2026-10-18) |
+| `tts` tool / `xd://tts` device (`modelRoles.speech`) | frank-tts over OpenAI `/v1/audio/speech` | cloned voices work, but only as a **file** — nothing plays them |
+
+`dankvoice` is not a patch to that vocalizer (harness code, not ours); it is a
+second transport that happens to speak, so Kokoro stays available for quick
+local speech and the cloned voices carry the real narration.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `/say` \| `/say menu` | options menu (`ctx.ui.select`): auto-speak toggle, voice, output device, player, spoken cap, thinking-narration toggle, humanize toggle, test phrase |
+| `/say <text>` | synthesize once and play; interrupts whatever is playing |
+| `/say on` \| `/say off` | arm/disarm auto-speak of the thinking blocks and final text at `agent_end`; the footer shows `🔊 <voice>` while armed |
+| `/say voice <name>` | pick a voice; an empty name defers to the server's own default |
+| `/say voices` | list what frank-tts reports |
+| `/say stop` | cut the current utterance |
+| `/say status` \| `/say help` | endpoint, voice, player, device, cap, thinking, humanize |
+
+Menu choices persist to `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` (runtime state, never
+tracked); the environment overrides the file, the file overrides defaults.
+"Speak a test phrase" synthesizes a short line through the current voice,
+player and device — the audible proof whenever a session "has say on" but
+stays silent.
+
+Auto-speak is skipped in `print`/`json` mode so benches and pipelines stay
+silent. Each spoken unit — thinking first when narrated, then the answer —
+is first rewritten into spoken prose by the @tiny model; when the enhancer
+(below) declines, the text goes to segmentation as-is, where fenced code and
+tables vanish, links collapse to their label and bullets and table pipes
+disappear. A long answer is never one monolithic synthesis request; see
+[Segmentation](#segmentation) for how utterances are cut and played.
+
+## Segmentation
+
+Utterances are cut by a state machine ported from the harness's own
+speak-aloud vocalizer (the minified `fHe` class in the agent bundle's
+`dist/cli.js`), kept deliberately in lockstep with the stock path:
+
+* A strong boundary is a run of `[.!?…]` followed by whitespace — so
+  `!!!!!` and `...` are one boundary, never a pile of cuts.
+* Boundaries after `e.g.`, `etc.`, `Mr.` and friends, or inside inline
+  code, don't count; decimals (`3.5`, `1,5`) survive because a boundary
+  requires trailing whitespace.
+* Line starts are classified: table rows and fenced code are swallowed
+  whole (their content is never read aloud), heading and bullet markers
+  vanish, ordered-list markers speak their number ("1, …"), quote markers
+  strip.
+* Per segment, markdown is cleaned: links collapse to their label, URLs
+  to their host, deep paths to their last segment; emphasis markup dies.
+* Segments aim for one sentence; run-ons break at commas or word wraps
+  before 280 characters.
+
+Playback is strictly sequential: segment N+1 is synthesized only after
+segment N's player process exited, so audio never stacks. The chain runs
+detached from `agent_end` (fire-and-forget) and may legitimately outlive
+the harness's 30 s handler timeout — the old awaiting design produced a
+"handler timed out after 30000ms" toast on long answers. A new utterance,
+`/say stop`, or disarming auto-speak retires the live chain through a run
+token: the current player is killed and pending segments are skipped.
+`DANKVOICE_MAX` is a per-answer character budget: the leading whole
+segments that fit are spoken, the rest are dropped — the thinking unit
+draws on it before the answer does.
+
+## Endpoint resolution
+
+The base URL is **read from `agent/models.yml`**, from the provider block whose
+model row carries `api: openai-speech` — the same row the `speech` role
+resolves, so no host address and no credential appears in this file. From
+`baseUrl: http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1` it derives
+`POST …/v1/audio/speech`, `GET …/v1/audio/voices` and `GET …/health`.
+
+| Environment | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|

+| `DANKVOICE_CONFIG` | `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` | persisted menu choices (voice, player, sink, cap, auto) |
+| `DANKVOICE_VOICE` | empty (server default) | default voice name |
+| `DANKVOICE_AUTO=1` | off | start with auto-speak armed |
+| `DANKVOICE_MAX` | `700` | spoken-character budget per answer (whole leading segments, shared by the thinking and answer units) |
+| `DANKVOICE_PLAYER` | detect | player binary, skipping detection |
+| `DANKVOICE_MODELS` | `~/.omp/agent/models.yml` | YAML to read the endpoint from |
+| `DANKVOICE_REWRITE_URL` | the @tiny role | chat base URL (`…/v1`) for the enhancer, bypassing role resolution |

+
+Player detection order is `pw-play` → `paplay` → `ffplay` (PipeWire first:
+the workstations run WirePlumber). A saved output device routes the player
+explicitly — `pw-play --target <sink>` or `paplay --device=<sink>`; ffplay
+has no device concept and ignores it — while an unset device leaves the
+player's own default. Sinks are enumerated with `wpctl list audio sinks`;
+if wireplumber is unreachable the menu offers only "system default". Each
+utterance is written to `$TMPDIR/dankvoice-*/say-<ms>.wav` and the file plus
+its directory are removed when the player process exits.
+
+## Humanized narration (the @tiny role)
+
+The built-in vocalizer never reads answers aloud verbatim when
+`speech.enhanced` is on: a small model rewrites each utterance into words a
+person would say. `dankvoice` ports that enhancer — same system prompt
+(verbatim from the bundle), same budgets (1536 max tokens, 6 s timeout,
+4000-char input window), same contract (a failed rewrite falls back to the
+mechanically cleaned text; an empty rewrite skips the unit as "nothing to
+say"). The target model is the harness's `@tiny` role, resolved the way the
+harness resolves it: `modelRoles.tiny` in `agent/config.yml` reads
+`provider (host)/model:effort`; the provider block in `agent/models.yml`
+supplies the `baseUrl`; the request is `POST {base}/chat/completions`. On
+this fleet that is **frank-zealot** (`llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)`,
+`:7771`) — the 6 s abort keeps a slow tiny model off the critical path.
+
+The request body pins `chat_template_kwargs: { enable_thinking: false }`,
+and that field is load-bearing: the harness injects it for managed roles,
+but a raw `fetch` gets the model's default — thinking on — so the Qwen35
+hybrid spends the budget on `reasoning_content` and answers `content: ""`
+(measured: 6.9 s / 6893 reasoning chars / empty content without the flag;
+0.55 s / 369 clean chars with it). For a hybrid endpoint, empty content
+beside non-empty `reasoning_content` means the flag was ignored — a failed
+rewrite (mechanical fallback), never the legitimate "nothing to say".
+
+Thinking blocks ride the same path: at `agent_end` the last assistant
+message's true `thinking` parts are narrated (rewritten first, as their own
+unit, before the answer), while blocks flagged `narration: true` — which
+providers use to address the user through the thinking channel — count as
+answer text. The menu, `/say status`, and `DANKVOICE_THINKING` toggle it;
+the choice persists in the settings file.
+
+## Verified facts (2026-10-18, extended 2026-10-19)
+
+* **Extension discovery** — any `.ts` file in `~/.omp/agent/extensions/` loads
+  at startup: a probe file there printed `loaded 2026-10-19T02:36:55Z` from a
+  fresh `omp -p` run. `omp --help` documents `--no-extensions` (discovery off,
+  explicit `-e/--extension` and `--hook` still load) and `plugin install|link`.
+* **Endpoint** — resolving the live `agent/models.yml` yields
+  `speechUrl http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1/audio/speech`,
+  `voicesUrl …/v1/audio/voices`, `healthUrl …/health`, `model frank-tts`.
+* **Roster** — `GET /v1/audio/voices` answers the bare JSON array
+  `["narrator1","narrator2","narrator3"]`; `/health` answers
+  `{"status":"ok","backend":"omni-http","voices":[…]}`. `GET /v1/voices` and
+  `GET /v1/models` are **404** on this shim, and an unknown voice answers
+  `400 unknown voice 'zzz'; available voices: …` with `available_voices` in the
+  body — which is the fallback the extension uses if the roster route ever
+  disappears.
+* **Omitting `voice` is legal** — frank-tts fills its `DEFAULT_VOICE` since the
+  2026-10-18 voice-pack work, so an unset voice synthesizes instead of failing.
+* **Speech** — `/say "dankvoice live smoke test"` produced a 99,884 B / 2.08 s
+  WAV and `/say voice narrator2` + `/say "cloned voice check"` a 69,164 B /
+  1.44 s WAV (durations from `ffprobe`), each handed to the player; temp
+  directories were gone afterwards.
+* **Auto-speak** — verified in a real TUI session: `/say on` armed the footer
+  (`🔊 narrator1`), the next finished turn synthesized and played the answer
+  (1.20 s WAV), and an unknown voice name answers with the roster instead of
+  speaking. An `agent_end` carrying `willContinue` (the harness scheduled an
+  auto-retry) is never narrated — only the terminal settle speaks.
+* **Menu** — verified via driver scenarios 2026-10-18 (Refs #23): the menu
+  lists auto-speak/voice/device/player/cap/test-phrase; a voice chosen in the
+  menu is used by later utterances and survives a fresh load via the settings
+  file; a device chosen in the menu appears in the player invocation as
+  `--target <sink>`.
+* **Segmented playback** — driver scenarios 2026-10-19: "First stop here.
+  Second one goes!!! Really? Third ... done" produced exactly 3 sequential
+  requests and 3 plays; "Model 3.5 ships today. Version 1,5 too." produced
+  exactly 2 (decimals never split); the markdown fixture's fenced code and
+  URL never reached the fixture endpoint; with `DANKVOICE_MAX=60` only the
+  leading segment was spoken.
+* **Humanize + thinking (2026-10-19, Refs #27)** — driver scenarios cover the
+  rewrite round-trip (fixture chat route), the 404 → mechanical fallback,
+  thinking narrated as its own unit before the answer, `DANKVOICE_THINKING=0`
+  silencing it, and `narration: true` spoken once as the answer; the endpoint
+  status line shows the resolved humanize model from the @tiny role. Live
+  smoke against the real services: a markdown `/say` became 3 sequential
+  prose segments (mechanical cleanup of that text yields at most 2), and a
+  thinking+answer `agent_end` played thinking first. 22 green in
+  `tests/dankvoice.bats`.
+* **Thinking-off fix (2026-10-19, Refs #32)** — replaying the exact rewrite
+  body against live frank-zealot: without `chat_template_kwargs.
+  enable_thinking: false` the reply arrives as 6893 `reasoning_content`
+  characters with `content: ""` in 6.9 s (twice the 6 s abort); with it,
+  369 clean characters in 0.55 s. Driver fixtures now pin the flag
+  (`thinkoff=false` on the recorded chat call), turn reasoning-only replies
+  into mechanical speech instead of silence, and time the menu's test
+  phrase (~0 ms handler). 26 green in `tests/dankvoice.bats`.
+
+## Limits
+
+* The TUI's own speak-aloud feature still narrates in Kokoro: its voice list is
+  a compile-time enum in the harness bundle, and no setting routes it to
+  frank-tts. Cloned voices live only on this file-producing/speaking path and
+  on the `tts` tool. See [Handy](/tools/handy.md) for the STT half.
+* `agent_end` narrates thinking blocks and the final message only — mid-turn
+  tool chatter is never spoken. Thinking covers the last assistant message;
+  tool-loop gaps in earlier messages are skipped by design.
+* Humanized narration is serial: audio starts only after the @tiny rewrite
+  returns (≤ 6 s per unit, then frank-tts synthesis). Say `/say off`-grade
+  latency is the price of prose; `DANKVOICE_REWRITE=0` trades it back for
+  instant mechanical speech.
+* frank-tts is LAN-only: no Caddy vhost fronts :7772, so this extension is
+  usable on the home network.
+* Deployment, packs and the voice registry are owned by the
+  `serverAppConfigs` repo (`serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Frank TTS.md`), not
+  by this one.

-# pi Documentation Index
-
-This directory (`/home/dank/.pi/agent/docs/`) contains cached documentation for tools used during system configuration. It is the agent's primary reference before touching any configuration file.
-
---
-
-## How to Use
-
-Before configuring any tool, check whether documentation already exists here. If it does not, a subagent **must** be spawned to fetch documentation before proceeding.
-
-This is not a suggestion. It is the difference between "I remember how to configure this" and "I will need to re-read the docs for the third time this week."

+
+# OMP Subagent Limits & Fan-out Policy
+
+Enforced caps on subagents spawned through the `task` tool / eval `agent()`+`workpool()`
+from this workstation (config root `agent/config.yml`, machine-live tier — the live-sync
+heartbeat commits it). Set 2026-10-19; values verified against the live config and the
+enforcement code in the installed bundle (`@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`).
+
+## The caps in force
+
+| Key | Value | Default | Effect |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `task.maxConcurrency` | 2 | 32 | Session-scoped semaphore; excess spawns queue, never drop. |
+| `task.maxRecursionDepth` | 1 | 2 | Subagents cannot spawn their own subagents. See depth semantics. |
+| `task.maxRuntimeMs` | 1800000 | 0 (off) | Hard 30-min wall clock per subagent; overrun = `aborted`. |
+| `task.softRequestBudget` | 120 | 200 | Wrap-up notice at 120 assistant requests; force-stopped to yield at 180 (1.5×). |
+| `task.agentIdleTtlMs` | 420000 | same | Finished subagents parked to disk after 7 min idle (revivable via `agent://`). |
+| `task.enableEffort` | false | false | Per-spawn `effort` hint hidden from the schema. |
+| `task.isolation.enabled` | true | false | `isolated: true` spawns run in a copy of the checkout; only successful patches land (merge=patch, apply). Opt-in per spawn. |
+| `task.completionProbe` | false | true | No periodic completeness side-requests into running subagents. |
+| `tools.maxTimeout` | 600 | 0 (off) | No agent may request a tool timeout above 10 min; kills `timeout: 0` runaways. |
+| `providers.maxInFlightRequests` | see below | {} (unlimited) | Per-provider ceiling on concurrent LLM requests, shared across local omp processes. |
+
+## Depth semantics — never set `maxRecursionDepth: 0`
+
+Bundle predicate (`U_`): a session at `taskDepth` *s* keeps the `task` tool iff
+`n < 0 || s < n` where `n = maxRecursionDepth`. The preflight repeats the check
+(`Cannot spawn another agent at task depth s; maximum depth is n`).
+
+- `n = 1` → main (depth 0) spawns; children (depth 1) have `task` stripped. **This is
+  "no nested subagents".**
+- `n = 0` → `0 < 0` fails → **not even the main session can spawn anything.** Don't.
+- `n < 0` → cap disabled.
+
+## Per-endpoint in-flight ceilings
+
+```yaml
+providers:
+  maxInFlightRequests:
+    "llamacpp (dankserver)": 3      # main session + up to 2 task/reviewer subagents
+    "llamacpp (dankclaw)": 2        # frank-dragoon: security-reviewer + fallbacks
+    "llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)": 3   # frank-zealot: scout/sonic/librarian/designer + smol/tiny/plan/commit/vision roles
+```
+
+- Keys are **provider ids** = the quoted block labels in `agent/models.yml`
+  (one provider per host:port). The consumer does a flat map lookup by provider id;
+  absent or ≤0 = unlimited, otherwise clamped to ≥1.
+- Scope is **per machine, per config root**: it bounds what *this workstation's* omp
+  processes put on each endpoint. Other workstations, OpenWebUI, and any non-omp
+  client are not counted. Requests past the ceiling queue, never fail.
+- `web/searxng` intentionally uncapped.
+
+## Isolation note
+
+`task.isolation.enabled: true` makes the per-spawn `isolated` flag available — it is
+**opt-in per spawn**, not a blanket sandbox. Requires a git repo; unavailable in plan
+mode; baseline snapshot capped at 1 GiB; backends resolve via `isolation.backend: auto`
+(overlayfs/reflink/rcopy chain on this box). Given *the checkout is the deployment*,
+prefer `isolated: true` for any subagent that edits tracked files.
+
+## Deliberately not set
+
+- `bash.gitGuard` — offered 2026-10-19, declined; destructive-git protection stays opt-in.
+- `task.disabledAgents` — no bundled agent type warrants a ban.
+- `task.agentAccountPools`, `tier.subagent` — no-op against keyless local endpoints.
+- `PI_TASK_MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES` / `PI_TASK_MAX_OUTPUT_LINES` — 500 KB / 5000 line defaults are sane.
+- `before_subagent_spawn` hook — programmable spawn policy; revisit if these caps prove insufficient.
+
+## Verification
+
+`cfg://task`, `cfg://providers/maxInFlightRequests` reflect all rows above; persisted
+copies in `agent/config.yml`. Depth semantics confirmed against the shipped bundle, not
+just the setting description.

-# Skills Ecosystem and Top Skills
-
-This page covers the open agent skills ecosystem. It describes the registries, the install tooling, and the top skills by category.
-
-## The Ecosystem
-
-`skills.sh` is the primary registry and leaderboard for agent skills. It runs on the open-source `skills` CLI from Vercel Labs. Use these commands:
-
-```bash
-npx skills add <owner/repo>   # Install skills
-npx skills find [query]       # Search skills
-npx skills list               # List installed skills
-```
-
-The underlying standard is the Agent Skills specification at [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io). Over 20 coding agents support it. A single `SKILL.md` works across these agents.
-
-Related registries:
-
-| Registry | Focus |
-|----------|-------|
-| skills.sh | Primary registry and leaderboard. |
-| agentskill.sh | Directory and marketplace with many indexed skills. |
-| officialskills.sh | Verified skills from major organizations. |
-| qaskills.sh | QA and testing skills. |
-
-Use the local `npx skills` command to explore what is available. You can query the leaderboard data directly at `GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}` on skills.sh. The page index is zero-based and returns 200 skills per page.
-
-## Top 50 Skills by All-Time Installs
-
-The table lists the top 50 skills verified from the live skills.sh API on 2026-08-12. Install counts are exact at query time.

 # Bundle Change Log

-## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered from dangling objects
+Entry law (since 2026-10-19): one dated entry = what changed + the durable
+lesson, a few lines. Full incident narratives are recoverable from git
+(`git log --follow omp-docs/log.md`); knowledge that outlives an entry lives
+on its concept page, linked here. Never re-expand an entry in place.

-Frank's months of GUI-built bar customizations (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar center, capsule groups g1–g4, control-cheat-sheet, thickness/font-scale/opacity styling) vanished from the live bar at 16:46. Root cause: the layout existed **only in the working tree** — the repo copy of `settings.toml` carried a stale plain layout because GUI edits hadn't been committed inside the hourly heartbeat window — and a trunk-sync session clearing the dirty tree for `origin/main` stashed it; the stash entry was subsequently destroyed (three `WIP on main` stashes within 60 s, all later dropped). Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the destroyed stash as dangling commit `7fe3ed8` (16:46:09); candidate validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before restore, clobbered file preserved to `.AGENTTRASH/`, layout restored through the symlink target and proven by screenshot, committed as `c87b378` — the durable copy the layout never had. Lessons codified into managed skills: trunk-sync must preservation-**commit** every dirty deployment path (never stash, never `stash clear`), and GUI layout edits get committed the same session they're made.
+## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: silence and timeouts, root-caused (Refs #32)
+
+The humanizer's raw `fetch` to frank-zealot omitted `chat_template_kwargs.
+enable_thinking: false`, so the Qwen35 hybrid *thought* instead of answering:
+6.9 s of `reasoning_content`, `content: ""` — timing out the rewrite twice
+(12 s dead air) and, when it did answer inside the window, speaking silence.
+Root-caused by replaying the exact wire body against the live endpoint.
+Fix: pin the kwarg in the request body; treat empty-content-with-reasoning as
+failure (mechanical voice), not "nothing worth saying"; the menu's test phrase
+fires without blocking its handler. Lesson: the harness injects thinking-off
+for managed roles, but raw HTTP callers must set it themselves — 26/26 green
+with three red-captured regressions.
+
+## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: humanized narration and thinking aloud (Refs #27)
+
+Spoken units are rewritten by the `@tiny` role (frank-zealot) under the
+bundle's speech budgets before synthesis, with mechanical cleanup as fallback;
+auto-speak narrates the last message's thinking blocks first; all toggles
+persist. 7 new scenarios, 22 green; live smoke through real zealot + frank-tts.
+
+## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: segmented sequential speech
+
+`agent_end` awaiting one whole-answer synthesis hit the harness's 30 s
+extension-handler timeout — lesson: extensions must never await work that can
+exceed 30 s. Ported the built-in vocalizer's utterance-splitting state machine
+(boundary = `[.!?…]+` + whitespace, abbreviation/code guards, per-answer
+segment budget); segments synthesize strictly sequentially. `DANKVOICE_MAX` is
+now a segment budget. 17/17 in `tests/dankvoice.bats`.
+
+## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: `/say` options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23)
+
+`/say menu` (pi-peon-style): auto-speak, voice, PipeWire output device
+(`wpctl` → `pw-play --target`), player, char cap, test phrase. Precedence
+env > `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` > defaults — born from the incident where
+PipeWire's remembered Bluetooth route played answers into nowhere.
+
+## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: the cloned voices finally speak in the TUI (Refs #21)
+
+The harness gates `--voice` against the bundled Kokoro enum, so frank-tts's
+cloned voices were unreachable in-TUI. Added `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts`
+(`/say …`) synthesizing over the OpenAI speech route, endpoint read from the
+`api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml` (no host or secret in code).
+
+## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered
+
+GUI-built bar customizations existed only in the working tree; a trunk-sync
+stash-then-drop destroyed them. Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the
+dropped stash as a dangling commit; validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME`
+before restore. Lesson: GUI-written config is only durable once committed —
+the motivation for the live-sync heartbeat below.

 ## 2026-10-18 — Fleet law: issue/PR attribution footers

-Every agent-opened issue and PR body now ends with a `cwd:` + `session:` footer (session id from `/status`), in AGENTS.md of both `dank/command-center` and `dank/serverAppConfigs` (mirrored PRs). Born from the live-sync review: once the machine starts filing and committing on its own, its artifacts must trace back to the box and session that produced them.
+Every agent-opened issue/PR body ends with `cwd:` + `session:` footer, in both
+`dank/command-center` and `dank/serverAppConfigs` AGENTS.md: machine-made
+artifacts must trace to the box and session that produced them.

 ## 2026-10-18 — live-sync heartbeat for machine-written paths (Refs #11)

-Root-caused the month of silent divergence in the live checkout (~61 auto-learned skills on one disk only, a stranded `unexpectedStopDetection` fix, merge-refusals from dirty trees): the checkout IS the deployment, symlinks make machine writes dirty tracked files by design, and no commit law covered that churn. Added `scripts/live-sync.sh` + systemd user timer — allowlist tiers (memories, managed-skills, live config, dotfiles) auto-commit with hooks armed, merge `origin/main`, push, and reap stale `wt/*` worktrees; everything outside the allowlist is never staged, conflicts abort-and-alert. Black-box suite `tests/live-sync.bats` (9 tests). Tier law in AGENTS.md § Live-sync tiers; reference page `tools/live-sync.md` registered in the tools index.
+A month of silent divergence in the live checkout proved the checkout-is-
+deployment model needs a committer: `scripts/live-sync.sh` + systemd user
+timer auto-commits allowlisted tiers (memories, managed-skills, live config,
+dotfiles) with hooks armed, merges `origin/main`, pushes, reaps stale `wt/*`.
+Non-allowlist dirt never staged; conflicts abort-and-alert. See
+[tools/live-sync.md](tools/live-sync.md); tier law in AGENTS.md.

 ## 2026-10-18 — Fleet law: filed PRs open in Frank's browser immediately

-Both repos' git rules now require it: the moment a PR is opened, `xdg-open <PR-URL>` drops a Firefox tab on the workstation (AGENTS.md § Trunk-based SDLC here; § Git Workflow step 6 in `dank/serverAppConfigs`, riding their PR #6 branch).
+`xdg-open <PR-URL>` the moment a PR opens — codified in both repos' git rules.

-## 2026-10-18 — Trunk law: extension route closed unmerged; direct repo alignment instead
+## 2026-10-18 — Trunk law: extension route closed unmerged; direct repo alignment

-Built and live-verified a cwd-scoped `before_agent_start` extension (quote probes: fires under `~/Projects`, silent elsewhere; kept as `.AGENTTRASH/trunk-law.js`). **Operator closed PR #9 unmerged** in favor of editing each repo's own AGENTS.md. Durable finding from the exploration: every context-file provider (AGENTS.md walk-up, `.omp/` dirs, CLAUDE.md) resolves at or below the repo root — a `~/Projects/AGENTS.md` for ancestor scope can never load; user-level `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` broadcasts to *all* sessions. Second finding: **serverAppConfigs never had git-flow** — its AGENTS.md mandated no branch regime at all (direct commit+push); a trunk + PR law is being added there by PR in that repo, not corrected.

 ## 2026-10-18 — SDLC switched to trunk-based development

-`develop` retired by operator decision (single-dev repo; the branch bought nothing and cost a back-merge every release). New law in AGENTS.md § *Trunk-based SDLC*: branch off the freshest `origin/main` before every work item, PRs target `main` directly, `--no-ff` merges, tags `vX.Y.Z` straight on main. No back-merges, no release branches. The last back-merge (`527596a`) lands with this switch; the managed skill `gitflow-back-merge-plumbing` is now historical.

 ## 2026-10-18 — Sibling-vault overlap census; system docs realigned to live ground truth

-Census of `omp-docs/` against `~/Projects/serverAppConfig/serverAppConfigs-docs/` (subagent + live-ssh verification) found four contradicting pairs; all OURS-side stale pages corrected, THEIRS side flagged only (their repo, their PR flow). Ground truth from read-only probes on both boxes 2026-10-18.
+Census of `omp-docs/` vs `serverAppConfigs-docs` (subagents + live-ssh probes)
+found four contradicting pairs; ours fixed, theirs flagged for their PR flow.
+Recorded then: RTX 3090 moved Dankserver→Dankclaw 2026-09; dankserver = 2×
+Radeon AI PRO R9700 (the "board swap" story was false); served models per
+live units. Current state always: [/system/index.md](/system/index.md)
+(27B-era zealot figures here are historical; live census 2026-10-19 below).

-* **Hardware drift corrected** (`system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md` rewritten, `AGENTS.md` machine table): RTX 3090 moved Dankserver→Dankclaw 2026-09; dankserver now 2× Radeon AI PRO R9700 (7700X stays — the "board swap" story is false), 246 GiB RAM, no swap; dankclaw 121 GiB RAM + 64 GiB swap. Served models per live units: frank-archon (:7770 dankserver, radiance TP=2 iq4r), frank-dragoon (:7770 dankclaw, halogen NATIVE v2, iGPU), frank-zealot (:7771 dankclaw, llama.cpp PrismML, Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B PQ2_0, 3090). Both kernels 7.0.0-38-generic; dankclaw :7770 needs no auth.
-* **Gitea pages corrected** (`tools/gitea/` index + 3 subpages): `gitea-caddy` quadlet retired — fleet Caddy fronts the domain; data tree is `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/{data,postgres,env}` (2026-09-01 standard), `/opt/gitea/` is a do-not-use leftover; LAN IP, live domain, no WAN address.
-* **Pi-era pages demarcated as archive** (`pi/index.md`, `core/index.md` banners; `core/index.md` said settings.md was "Current"): `frank-default-small/large` endpoints, role tables, and 3090/4070 hardware rows now read as pi-era records. `tools/llama-cpp/index.md` fleet note modernized to the one remaining llama.cpp endpoint (zealot :7771).
-* **Their-side staleness flagged, NOT edited** (for operator clarification): `Agent/OMP Harness.md` still says thresholdPercent 70 — live config is **95** (`agent/config.yml:84`); `index.md:18` says Dankserver Ubuntu 24.04 vs their own specs page 26.04; `Dankclaw/Stack.md` "current mapping (2026-09-03)" predates the ACTIVE dragoon/zealot runbooks it links beside; `index.md:548` links the superseded pi-era KB at `~/.pi/agent/docs/`.
-* Consistent duplicates (no action): niri/noctalia desktop pages, Caddy reference. Divergence clarified: their "composer" = OpenWebUI chat box; ours = omp composer shape — unrelated subjects.
+## 2026-10-18 — Status line rebuilt on custom segments; full-source audit

-## 2026-10-18 — Status line docs truth audit (full-source re-verification)
+New page [core/statusline.md](core/statusline.md) with an audit log — four
+first-pass claims were false and corrected against the minified bundle + a
+live screenshot matrix (context meter is `box`/`band` only; `composer.shape`
+routes segment arrays; `mode` states = Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop). Bar
+rebuilt on `band` + custom segments; frank-archon display name slimmed in
+models.yml.

-Exhaustive claim-by-claim re-audit of [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md) against the minified `dist/cli.js` bundle plus a live screenshot matrix (band × {off, percentage, embedded}, claude × off). Page carries an **Audit log** section; four first-pass claims were false and are corrected (see there): claude's rule is *not* the context meter (meter is `box`/`band` only; the "red rule" was the session-accent filler), the "Tern-only" composer-bar claim was bogus (the readout is `composer.tokenRate`, default off), `segmentOptions` are **not** gated to `preset: custom` (only the segment arrays are), and the `mode` segment's states are Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop (no yolo). Page expanded with: the 7-preset defaults table, per-shape `statusAttachment`/`bottomBar` model (8 built-ins + plugin shape registry), `contextLine` per-value behavior, the 27-segment catalog with triggers/options, `segmentOptions` schema, and the full `statusLine.*`/`composer.*` knob registry. The bundle's own "(box composer only)" knob description for `contextLine` is upstream-wrong — band honors it.
+## 2026-10-09 — Blankpad DE redesign: desk profiles, keybinds, Handy wiring

-ServerAppConfigs-docs overlap census: flagged separately for the operator (morning report); no doc merged/changed on either side.
+Per-desk niri profiles keyed by EDID long name (connector names reshuffle
+between docks; identity travels) + `scripts/desk.sh`; niri 26.04 has **no
+hotplug event** (`OutputConfigChanged` is only an ACK per niri-ipc) — the
+autoswitch daemon diffs output sets on `WorkspacesChanged`. Keybind cheat
+sheet now generated (`scripts/gen-keybinds.sh`); noctalia docs corrected to
+the v5 `noctalia msg` API. Handy: niri owns autostart; open breaker —
+frank-secondary answers in `reasoning_content` with empty `content`, and
+Handy cannot send `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false`. 27/27 green.

-## 2026-10-18 — Status line rebuilt on custom segments; frank-archon display name slimmed
-
-Interactive tune-up of the omp status bar (grilling session, live loop: config edit → watcher repaint → niri screenshot verify). New knowledge page: [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md).
-
-* **Mechanics discovered:** `leftSegments`/`rightSegments` are inert unless `preset: custom` (fleet was on `nerd` with dead arrays; `segmentOptions` *do* merge under named presets); `composer.shape` routes them — `band` merges both arrays into one row above the editor (title rides the working row), `claude` splits them into top chip + bottom strip. The context meter exists **only in `box`/`band`** — `contextLine`: `off` plain rule, `embedded` hoists the context segment into the labeled inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`), `percentage`/`annotated` paint an unlabeled proportional rule meter (all four live-verified); every other shape's rule is a constant session-accent filler. Working row (session title + tok/s readout gated by `composer.tokenRate`, default off) is composer chrome — model/thinking can never join it. Eight composer shapes ship in the bundle; plugins can register more.
-* **Final bar (`band`, after a `claude` sojourn):** left = `session_name · vim · mode · hostname · path · git(no branch text) · pr`; right cluster in array order = `model · cost · time_spent` (`context_pct` hoists out of the run to paint the labeled inline meter `60% ——— × 200K` as a flexible spacer between the groups). Cut: tok/s duplicate, clock, cache trio, `context_total`, `subagents`, `session` hash, and `token_in`/`token_out` (cumulative totals live in `/session`). `path`: logical `project/worktree` label (`stripWorkPrefix: true`, kept after a live `false` trial of the full cwd); branch text dropped (worktree branches are autogenerated), dirty badges kept.
-* **models.yml:** frank-archon display `name` slimmed to `"frank-archon"` (endpoint suffix dropped; `id` untouched).
-* **Out of scope noted:** worktree name generation (`wt-<date>-<hash>`) is omp-internal; possible upstream feature request.
-
-## 2026-10-09 — Blankpad DE redesign: desk profiles, keybind rework, Handy fleet wiring
-
-Branch `blankpad-de-redesign` (worktree `wt/de-redesign-20261009`). Full sweep + redesign of the niri/noctalia/Handy stack on blankpad.
-
-* **Desk profiles.** `cfg/display.kdl` retired to a symlink; per-desk profiles `desk-1-home.kdl` / `desk-2-portable.kdl` declare monitors by **EDID long name** (`// requires:` lines) — connector names reshuffle between docks, identity travels. `scripts/desk.sh` = list/current/switch/cycle/match/capture; apply = relink → `niri validate` (rollback on failure) → `load-config-file` → noctalia notification. `scripts/desk-autoswitch.sh` + `blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service` watch `niri msg --json event-stream`: niri 26.04 has **no hotplug event** (`OutputConfigChanged` is only an ACK that an IPC/config output change was Applied, per niri-ipc); the daemon diffs the sorted output set carried by `WorkspacesChanged` and hot-applies the matching profile (debounced 1.5 s). Proven live with an eDP-1 off/on cycle: `[DP-2 eDP-1] → [DP-2] → [DP-2 eDP-1]`, apply + reload each time. PM1601 EDID still uncaptured (panel disconnected) — connector-keyed placeholder, `desk.sh capture` pending.
-* **Keybinds.** `swap-window-left/right` on Mod+CTRL+H/L; move-column demoted to Mod+CTRL+Alt+H/L; 7 column-width presets 12.5–87.5 %; Print trio (full / gui / screen) via noctalia screenshot IPC; launcher Mod+D; Alt+Tab → noctalia window-switcher; Mod+V → clipboard panel (id verified live); Mod+Shift+D → desk cycle; Mod+Shift+Space → `handy --toggle-post-process`; lid-close → `noctalia msg session lock-and-suspend` (pairs with logind `HandleLidSwitch=ignore`). Cheat sheet now GENERATED: `scripts/gen-keybinds.sh` → `omp-docs/tools/niri/keybindings.md` (119 bindings).
-* **Noctalia.** `config.toml` + `settings.toml` (lives in `~/.local/state/`, not `~/.config/`) tracked; `taskbar` widget added to bar center, applied live via `noctalia msg config-reload`. Docs corrected to the v5 `noctalia msg` API.
-* **Handy.** Self-autostart killed (`~/.config/autostart/Handy.desktop` → `.AGENTTRASH`; `autostart_enabled=false`); niri owns autostart (`spawn-at-startup "handy" "--start-hidden"`). Fleet post-processing wired into the live store: provider `custom` → `http://192.168.0.143:7771/v1`, model `frank-secondary`, prompt `default_improve_transcriptions`. **Open breaker:** frank-secondary answers in `reasoning_content` and leaves `content` empty; per-request cure `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false` verified, but Handy cannot send it and the server is shared with fleet compaction — dedicated no-think port proposed. 0.9.6→0.9.8 upgrade is operator-owned (`yay -Syu handy-bin`).
-* **Scripts + tests.** Two subagents died mid-run (one mid-test-write; one crashed **looping `sudo yay` without a TTY** — see next entry). Their scripts/tests were rebuilt from live-format ground truth: `tests/desk.bats` (16), `tests/gen-keybinds.bats` (6), `tests/niri-config.bats` (5, incl. real `niri validate` on the assembled base+zz tree with each desk profile active). Suite: 27/27 green.
-
-## 2026-10-09 — Incident: agent sudo-loop tripped pam_faillock and locked out the operator's sudo

-While attempting the Handy 0.9.8 install, a subagent ran `sudo yay -Syu handy-bin` in a retry loop for ~15 minutes. Harness sudo has no TTY, so every attempt logged 3 `pam_unix` auth failures; `pam_faillock` (deny=3) locked user `blank` out — the operator's own correct-password `sudo`/`pacman -Syu` began failing with "temporarily locked out", which looked exactly like a changed password.
-
-* **No password change:** `/etc/shadow` mtime 2026-09-10 23:31, untouched; no `passwd`/`chpasswd`/`usermod` in the journal.
-* **Recovery:** loop process died with the agent; `faillock --user blank --reset` (unprivileged for own user, dir `/run/faillock/blank` is 0700) cleared the counter; verified empty.
-* **New law:** agents NEVER run `sudo`/`yay`/`pacman`/`pkexec` on Frank's workstations — root-requiring steps are handed to the operator as exact copy-paste commands. Codified as managed skill `faillock-sudo-lockout-recovery`.
+## 2026-10-09 — Incident: agent sudo-loop tripped pam_faillock, locked out the operator

+A subagent retried `sudo yay` (no TTY) for ~15 min; `pam_faillock` deny=3
+locked user `blank` — correct-password sudo failed, mimicking a password
+change. Recovery: `faillock --user blank --reset`. Law: agents never run
+`sudo`/`yay`/`pacman`/`pkexec`; root steps go to the operator as exact
+commands. Skill `faillock-sudo-lockout-recovery`.

 ## 2026-10-09 — Full secret audit of the command-center repo: clean

-Five-layer audit of `dank/command-center` at `79e780f`, driven by the four live values in `~/.config/secrets/` (gitea, hf_token, hf_token_write, kagi_api_key) plus 21 provider shapes (sk-, hf_, gh[pousr]_, glpat-, AKIA/ASIA, xox, npm_, pypi-, AIza, JWT, PEM/OpenSSH keys, `scheme://user:pass@host` basic-auth URLs, `password|secret|api_key = <literal>` assignments). Findings printed redacted (prefix + length + sha256 prefix).
-
-* **Live-value scan — clean.** 77 revs (5 branches, 2 tags), 765 reachable blobs, 3.4 MiB of blob text: no known live value appears in any tracked blob at any ref.
-* **Whole object store, reachable *and* dangling — clean.** `git cat-file --batch-all-objects` finds 767 blobs; 2 are unreachable, never committed on any ref (`git log --all --find-object` empty). One is a 123 KB superseded memory page; the other is a 35-byte test fixture holding a synthetic `sk-` key whose body is the alphabet followed by `1234` — pattern-minted, not issued. No PEM key, no JWT, no basic-auth URL anywhere. (Quoting the literal here tripped the secret gate, which is the gate working as designed.)
-* **Shape hits, all triaged benign**: `api_key="sk-no-key-required"` (llama.cpp doc placeholder), `Set password:` / `authenticate(user, password)` prose in the Authentik memory skills, and a 40-hex string in the home-config census that is a git **packfile filename** (`pack-ff7cc541….pack`), not a token.
-* **Entropy layer — clean.** Zero tokens ≥ 32 chars with Shannon entropy ≥ 4.3 in HEAD blobs.
-* **Payloads, not just pointers**: all 23 git-lfs wallpaper objects (81 MiB) scanned as bytes — no secret shape in any payload.
-* **Quarantine list holds**: no tracked file matches `auth.json`/`trust.json`/`.env`/`*.pem`/`*.key`/`identity*`; the 42 ignored paths on disk carry no secret shape; no credential in any git config scope (local/global/system).
-* **Fixed on the spot**: `~/.config/secrets/hf_token_write` was mode 0644 (world-readable) → 0600. `~/.cache/huggingface/token` (the standard HF location, holds the same value) verified 0600.
-* **Known gap, not yet closed**: `.githooks/pre-commit` covers GitHub/GitLab/Slack/AWS/PEM/JWT/OpenAI-shaped `sk-`, but **not** `hf_…`, `npm_…`, `pypi-…`, `AIza…`, Stripe, Telegram, or a `scheme://user:token@host` basic-auth URL — which is exactly the shape that sat in `remote.origin.url` until today. Widening the gate is an open decision.
+Five layers (live-value scan across 77 revs/765 blobs, whole object store
+incl. dangling, shape triage, entropy ≥4.3, LFS payloads) — no secret in any
+reachable or dangling object; quarantine list holds. Fixed `hf_token_write`
+0644→0600. Open gap: the pre-commit gate lacks `hf_`/`npm_`/`pypi-`/`AIza`/
+Stripe/Telegram shapes and basic-auth URLs — widening it is an open decision.

 ## 2026-10-09 — Gitea token moved out of every remote URL

-Both workstation clones (`~/.omp` → `dank/command-center`, `~/Projects/serverAppConfig` → `dank/serverAppConfigs`) carried the Gitea HTTP token inside `remote.origin.url`, so it sat in `.git/config`, was printed by `git remote -v`, and was echoed verbatim by the git-lfs lock warning on every push.
+Remotes bare; credential in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (0600) behind a global
+`credential.helper store`. Trap (git 2.56.0, measured): `git
+credential-store` rejects the `protocol=`/`host=` block shape the man page
+shows — the store file must be one URL per line, port included. Verified with
+`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`. Details: [tools/gitea/client-access.md](tools/gitea/client-access.md).

-* **Cutover**: remotes are now bare (`http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/<repo>.git`); the credential lives in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (0600) behind a **global** helper — `git config --global credential.helper 'store --file ~/.config/secrets/gitea'` — so every repo on the host authenticates from one file. `lfs.…info/lfs.locksverify true` set on `~/.omp` to silence the warning that leaked the URL.
-* **The trap (git 2.56.0, measured)**: `git credential-store` will not parse the `protocol=`/`host=`/`password=` block shape that `git credential fill` accepts on stdin and that the man page shows for `~/.git-credentials`. It returns an empty `get`, and git falls through to askpass: `could not read Username for …`. The store file must be one URL per line, port included: `http://dank:<token>@192.168.0.143:3000`.
-* **Verified** with prompts disabled (`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`): `git credential-store get` returns the credential, `ls-remote` reads, `push --dry-run` says `Everything up-to-date` on both repos, `git remote get-url origin` contains no `@`, and a grep for the token across `~/.gitconfig`, both `.git/config` files, and the shell rc files returns nothing.
-* **Doc**: new [[client-access|client-access]] (`tools/gitea/client-access.md`) — credential file layout, the store-format trap, the verification loop, LFS lock warning, rotation procedure. Cross-linked from the gitea index and management pages.
+## 2026-10-09 — Working tree reconciled: callsign renames, compaction move, gitignore quarantine

-## 2026-10-09 — Working tree reconciled: callsign renames, Dankclaw compaction, gitignore quarantine
-
-A 200-entry dirty tree (116 deleted, 73 untracked, 11 modified) sat uncommitted across several sessions. Committed as seven atomic units; nothing discarded.
-
-* **Model ids renamed to the unit-name scheme** (`agent/models.yml`): `frank-medium → frank-archon` (dankserver :7770, 200,000 ctx / 16,384 max), `frank-large → frank-dragoon` (Dankclaw :7770, 217,088 / 45,056, `input: [text, image]`), `frank-small → frank-zealot` (Dankclaw-3090 :7771, 200,704 / 16,384). The **services keep the old names on the wire** — `/v1/models` still serves `frank-primary`, `frank-large`, `frank-secondary`; the engines accept an arbitrary request `model` id, so the rename is harness-side only. Probed live: all three chat completions return 200 with `reasoning_content`.
-* **Server-side compaction moved** off `192.168.0.235:7770` to `192.168.0.143:7771` (frank-zealot's 3090), threshold 70 % → 85 %, remote streaming v2 + async on; every model's `compactionModel` points at `frank-zealot` so the wire id stays valid at the compaction endpoint. Reference integrity checked programmatically: 22 model references across `modelRoles`, `task.agentModelOverrides`, `compactionModel` — zero unresolved.
-* **`.gitignore` quarantine** for runtime state that was tracked-adjacent noise: `autoresearch/`, `agent/predict/`, `local/`, `wt/`, and `agent/memories/--home-blank-.omp-wt-*` (a session inside a git worktree mints a memory bucket keyed on the ephemeral worktree path). All had zero tracked files, so the rules are purely additive — 73 untracked → 68, and the remaining 68 are real memory records that got committed.
-* **Skill libraries were renamed, not lost.** `agent/managed-skills` consolidated 94 → 25 (git renders directory renames as mass delete + mass add; pre-cutover content is intact at `12c5e88`). Workstation memory skills re-bucketed by topic: `dotfile-git-workflow` → `ghostty-text-aa` + `niri-display-rotation` + `noctalia-theme`, `handy-service-mgmt` → `handy-flm-inference`, `inference-runtime` → `llama-cpp-parallelism`.
-* **Display layout**: blankpad DP-2 back to landscape `3440x1440@239.999` (`transform "normal"`), HDMI-A-1 portrait bezel flipped `270 → 90`, eDP-1 re-pinned rightmost. Supersedes the 2026-09-15 portrait pin (`2baf0c0`).
-* **Secrets**: `.zshrc` now reads `KAGI_API_KEY` / `HF_TOKEN` from `~/.config/secrets/*` (600-perm files) instead of carrying literals into a repo published to Gitea. The pre-commit secret gate passed on all seven commits.
+200-entry dirty tree committed as seven atomic units. Harness model ids
+renamed `frank-{medium,large,small}` → `frank-{archon,dragoon,zealot}` —
+**services keep old names on the wire**; the engines accept any request model
+id, so renames are harness-side only. Server-side compaction moved to
+zealot's 3090 (threshold 70→85 %). `.gitignore` quarantine for worktree-keyed
+memory buckets and runtime dirs. Skill renames are not losses: git renders
+directory renames as mass delete+add; pre-cutover content intact at `12c5e88`.

 ## 2026-09-28 — Retired workstation purged from the knowledge base

-Frank sold the client workstation. Every identifier for it is gone from this bundle: hostname, both of its LAN addresses, and its Wi-Fi SSID. The knowledge outlives the box; the machine does not.
+Sold box: hostname, both LAN addresses, Wi-Fi SSID gone bundle-wide; the
+knowledge distilled into [system/network.md](system/network.md) (multi-link
+resolver law: a static resolver must be pinned on each *connection*) and
+[tools/niri/displays.md](tools/niri/displays.md) (portrait transforms, the
+three ways a multi-monitor rig breaks). Hostname stays only where it is a
+lookup key (install.sh `--host`, `packages/<hostname>.pkgs`).

-* **Distilled, not deleted.** The four per-host system pages carried two pieces of knowledge worth keeping and one that was not:
-  * `/system/network.md` (new) — LAN topology, plus the multi-link resolver law: a client with two `+DefaultRoute` links flaps its DNS, and the fix is a static resolver pinned on each *connection* (a `resolved.conf` `DNS=` line is only a per-link fallback). Keeps the flush-caches verification loop, because one successful `dig` proves nothing on a flapping resolver.
-  * `/tools/niri/displays.md` (new) — the multi-monitor rig: portrait transforms, absolute positions, the auto-placed third panel, the iGPU render-node pin, and the three ways it breaks (duplicate output blocks, positions that do not reflow, a mode the panel cannot drive).
-  * Dropped: the machine's own spec sheet and quick-facts table. The OS and userspace facts they repeated already live in `tools/cachyos.md`.
-* **Mechanical scrub** across the rest of the bundle: indexes, tool and research pages, the inventory census, the changelog, one generated HTML report, and four managed skills. Facts kept, names dropped — `install.sh`'s `--host` case list and the `packages/<hostname>.pkgs` filename stay, because the hostname is the lookup key there.
-* `AGENTS.md` and `README.md` keep a nameless "workstation" row so the fleet tables still describe the class of box without advertising a machine that is no longer Frank's.
-* Out of scope by decision: `agent/memories/**` (past-session records the learn pipeline rewrites) and the retired pages' history — they are recoverable from `.AGENTTRASH/20260928-retired-workstation/` and from git.
-
-## 2026-09-01 — Retry backoff and thinking default
-
-* **Retry backoff**: configured Pi's automatic agent-level retries in `settings.json` with a 10-second base delay, producing 10s, 20s, and 40s delays across three retries.
-* **Thinking default**: set `settings.json` `defaultThinkingLevel` to `medium`. `models.json` has no supported per-model default-thinking field; Pi applies this global default to the configured models.
+## 2026-09-01 — Retry backoff and thinking default (pi era)

+Pi `settings.json`: 10 s base retry backoff (10/20/40 s), `defaultThinkingLevel:
+medium` (no per-model thinking field exists in `models.json`).

 ## 2026-08-28 — KB rebuilt to OKF v0.1; live-verified fleet facts

-* **Creation**: the whole `omp-docs/` bundle was copied from the legacy `~/.pi/agent/docs` tree and rebuilt as a git-tracked, OKF v0.1-conformant knowledge base inside the new `command-center` repo (repo root = live agent dir; the checkout *is* the deployment). Every checkable claim was re-verified against the live fleet (read-only probes); unverifiable claims are tagged `unverified` in frontmatter.
-* **Update — hardware facts corrected**: Dankserver is a **Ryzen 7 7700X + RTX 3090** (not Strix Halo); Strix Halo (gfx1151) is **Dankclaw**. RAM, storage, kernel, and network facts were probed live and corrected across `system/`.
-* **Update — conformance pass**: concept-in-disguise indexes promoted to `<dirname>.md` concept files (identity = path, per spec); index.md files stripped of frontmatter (indexes carry none); all wikilinks and relative links resolved or repointed; `scripts/kb-lint.sh` (OKF conformance + link-integrity linter) exits 0 on the bundle. Vendored `references/okf-spec.md` is exempt from link-lint — its example paths are illustrations, not links.
-* **Update — inventory**: home-config census (7 orphaned configs, 10 prune-candidates) recorded under `inventory/` for the pruning session; zero deletions performed. Legacy `~/.pi` tree left untouched and frozen.
-* **Deferred to operator** (decisions, not facts): chezmoi source layout (`research/chezmoi-evaluation.md` recommends a separate chezmoi repo) and the permanent secrets tool (`research/secrets-for-agents.md`; interim = pre-commit secret gate + quarantine list; top candidate sops+age). Gitea Projects unit is disabled instance-wide, so the kanban board is a one-time web-UI setup for the operator.
+`omp-docs/` copied from legacy `~/.pi/agent/docs`, rebuilt as git-tracked OKF
+v0.1 (checkout *is* the deployment); unverifiable claims tagged `unverified`.
+Conformance pass promoted concept-in-disguise indexes, stripped index
+frontmatter, resolved all links; `scripts/kb-lint.sh` exits 0. Hardware facts
+were corrected *then* (3090-on-dankserver since moved — see 2026-10-18).
+Inventory census recorded under `inventory/` for the pruning session.
+
 ## 2026-08-23 — Homepage deployed to production; Caddy KB doc

-* **Homepage is live on Dankclaw.** `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw` deploys the static files to `/srv/homepage`, installs the status checker (systemd timer, every 3 min, writes `status.json`), writes `deployed.js` (the last master deployment datetime), renders the Caddyfile (both basicauth hashes from the host `.env`), reloads Caddy, and checks health. Verified end-to-end: `/admin/` (operator) + all shared files serve 200 under the operator credential; `/` and `/admin/` 401 without/wrong credentials; the LLM is healthy.
-* **Caddyfile auth design (the hard-won fix).** Caddy *sorts* top-level directives, so a `rewrite` runs before a `basicauth`; the rewrite changed `/admin/` to `/admin.html` and the path-based auth matchers then saw the rewritten path, applying the wrong (family) auth block — the operator password 401'd. Fix: serve each page from its own `handle` block (which preserves file order, so the auth is checked on the original path): `handle /admin*` (operator only), `handle @data` (shared data + assets, family OR operator, so the admin page's fetches reuse the operator credential), and a catch-all `handle` (family). Also: a `handle` inline matcher is a single token (multi-path needs a named matcher); a leading `@name <directive>` is parsed as a matcher *definition* (re-defines `@name`).
-* **Caddy mount fix.** The caddy container mounted the repo's `shared/homepage` (static source) to `/srv/homepage`; the generated files (`status.json`, `deployed.js`) are written to the host's `/srv/homepage`. Pointed the mount at the host's `/srv/homepage` so the generated files serve. A compose change needs a container *recreate* (not a reload) — `podman compose up -d caddy` (the deploy skips the compose restart, so this is manual).
-* **Caddy KB doc** (operator request: read the docs before guessing at syntax): new `caddy/` section in this bundle — [[caddyfile|caddyfile]] (`caddy/caddyfile.md`) + `caddy/index.md`, cross-linked from the root `index.md`. Grounded in caddyserver.com (fetched 2026-08-23) + a researcher subagent brief.
-* **Tests:** 116 green (was 112; +4 for the Caddyfile handle design + the `status.json` 0644 perms). The local `caddy validate` test is skipped (no local caddy binary); the rendered config is validated on the target via the porkbun image before each deploy.
+Homepage live on Dankclaw via `scripts/deploy.sh` (status checker timer,
+deployed.js, rendered basicauth hashes, health check). Hard-won Caddy lesson:
+top-level directives are *sorted*, so `rewrite` runs before `basicauth` and
+auth matchers saw rewritten paths — serve each page from its own `handle`
+block to preserve order; a `handle` inline matcher is a single token; a
+leading `@name <directive>` parses as a matcher definition. Now documented on
+[caddy/caddyfile.md](caddy/caddyfile.md). A compose mount change needs a
+container *recreate*, not a reload. 116 tests green.

 ## 2026-08-23 — Homepage design settled (grilling complete)

-* **All 38 open questions (Q6–Q43) answered.** The homepage design is now fully settled. Full record: `serverAppConfigs/docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md` (final decisions + the deltas) and `docs/Infrastructure/Homepage.md`.
-* **Key deltas from the initial recommendations:** the probe method is **per service** (`tcp` or `http`); the probe timeout is **5 s**; the layout is **TUI-style panels** (a grid), not a flat list; styling is **toggleable** (full theme default, a toggle to bare unstyled HTML); **do not alter the user's cursor**; **no client-side auto-refresh** (read `status.json` once on load); the footer shows the **last master deployment datetime** (not last-check); the deploy is **git-driven** (master = deployed state); the build is **full TDD**.
-* **Per-service docs workstream:** each service gets a `/docs/<svc>/` page (not `/usage/`), written as a **how-to for a regular user** (no maintenance details), password-protected by the same auth as its homepage section, built as each service goes active. The existing reference docs in `docs/` are NOT linked from the homepage (they may contain secrets).
-* **Build complete (all 6 slices, full TDD, 112 tests green):** 1 the checker core (tcp/wip/atomic write/generated_at), 2 the http probe, 3 the real `services.json` + schema, 4 the pages + theme + toggle, 5 the Caddyfile auth split (root vs `/admin/`), 6 the git-driven deploy. All committed + pushed. The render logic is verified with a Node DOM shim (9 user panels, correct summary, correct footer datetime).
-* **To go live:** the operator adds `CADDY_ADMIN_HASH` (the operator-only password, `caddy hash-password`) to the Dankclaw `.env`, then runs `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw`. Until then the admin hash stays a placeholder. The per-service `/docs/` pages, the *arr stack, and the optional `/how/` page remain separate threads.
-* **Correction (media stack):** the Dankserver media stack (RomM, Copyparty, Jellyfin, Plex, the *arr) is **UP** — it runs as **bare processes/services, not yet migrated to podman containers**. The 2026-08-22 "down / missing `.env`" finding was wrong: I was probing for the compose stack, which is not how it runs yet. Do not treat it as an outage and do not probe it as down. Its podman migration is a separate, future effort.
+All 38 open questions answered; full record lives in serverAppConfigs
+(`docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md`). Key deltas: per-service
+tcp/http probes, 5 s timeout, TUI-style panel grid, no client auto-refresh,
+git-driven deploy, full TDD. Correction recorded: the Dankserver media stack
+runs as bare processes, not containers — never probe it as a compose stack.

 ## 2026-08-22 — vllmScripts merged into serverAppConfigs

-* **Repo merge**: the `vllmScripts` repo (LLM inference fleet: serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, deploy runbook, research docs) is merged into `serverAppConfigs` with its full git history (two-parent import commit, then reorganization: `docs/` → `docs/LLM/`, `scripts/` merged, `old/` for retired PP/NPU-era scripts). One repo, one checkout per host (`/home/dank/serverAppConfigs`), one `scripts/deploy.sh` covering both workloads per target (podman stack + LLM service relink/restart + both health checks).
-* **Units**: frank-default-{small,large,npu}.service now point at `/home/dank/serverAppConfigs/scripts/...`. The retired target checkouts (`/home/dank/vLLM` on Dankserver, `/home/dank/vllmScripts` on Dankclaw) are to be archived on the hosts during the production deploy.
-* **Secrets**: the live sudo password that the old vllmScripts AGENTS.md documented in plaintext is NOT carried into the merged repo (a bats leak-check guards it). It remains in the git history of both repos on the LAN Gitea — rotation recommended.
-* **KB links**: `system/index.md`, `system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md`, and the root `index.md` updated — the "sibling knowledge bases" section is now a single sibling (serverAppConfigs, which contains the LLM fleet KB at `docs/LLM/index.md`).
-* **Port move**: `frank-default-large` (dankclaw) moved from `:52625` to `:7770` (operator request: the primary inference server sits on the standard llama.cpp port). Both LLM services now listen on `:7770`, distinguished by host. `models.json` (`llamacpp (dankclaw)`) and the OpenWebUI quadlet (`OPENAI_API_BASE_URL`) re-pointed to `:7770`. `pi/models.md` updated.
-* **Homepage design (grilling)**: the `serverAppConfigs` homepage (`docs/Infrastructure/Homepage.md`) is WIP — the Caddy site is live (basicauth 401, `:80` 302) but `/srv/homepage/` is not deployed. Settled design: a single site on Dankclaw (root = user services, `/admin/` = admin services behind a second operator-only password, optional `/how/` tourist page). Status is checked **server-side** — a systemd-timer checker (every 3 min) probes each backend `host:port` and writes a same-origin `status.json`; the page reads only that file (the client-side-ping design is blocked by cross-origin + mixed-content + auth). Full decision log + 38 open questions (Q6–Q43) in `docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md`. A terminal-TUI-styled HTML progress report was generated for the operator to review and answer the open questions. Full-stack baseline verified: Dankclaw fully up; the Dankserver media stack is down (only Calibre-Web + the LLM are up; no `.env` on the target).
+Full-history two-parent import; one repo, one checkout per host, one
+`deploy.sh`. The plaintext sudo password from old docs was NOT carried over
+(a bats leak-check guards it); it remains in both repos' history on the LAN
+Gitea — rotation recommended.

-## 2026-08-21 — Fleet ops: passwordless sudo, Hermes SSH keys, sibling KB links
+## 2026-08-21 — Fleet ops: passwordless sudo, Hermes SSH keys

-* **Passwordless sudo**: added `/etc/sudoers.d/dank-nopasswd` (`dank ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL`) on both Dankserver and Dankclaw. Verified `sudo -n true` on both. The pre-existing drop-ins (`frank-small` on Dankserver; `frank-large` + `frank-ling` on Dankclaw) grant per-command NOPASSWD for the frank restart scripts and remain in place.
-* **Hermes SSH keys**: the Hermes Agent (podman container `hermes`, project `dankclaw` in `serverAppConfigs`, gateway drops to container uid 10000 = host uid 109999, HOME `/opt/data` on a podman volume) now has a dedicated ed25519 key at `/opt/data/.ssh/id_ed25519` (`hermes-agent@dankclaw`) plus an SSH config for `dankclaw` (192.168.0.143), `dankserver` (192.168.0.235), and the workstation. The public key is in `dank`'s `authorized_keys` on all three machines. Verified from inside the container as the hermes user: all three `ssh <host> hostname` calls succeed.
-* **Sibling KB links**: `system/index.md`, `system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md`, and the root `index.md` now link the two sibling knowledge bases on the workstation: `~/Projects/vllmScripts/` (inference fleet scripts + runbook, index `docs/index.md`) and `~/Projects/serverAppConfigs/` (Podman deploy configs for both servers, index `docs/index.md`).
+`/etc/sudoers.d/dank-nopasswd` on both servers (per-command drop-ins remain);
+dedicated ed25519 key for the Hermes container, verified into all three
+machines.

-## 2026-08-19 — pi-web-access: SearXNG endpoint re-pointed to dankclaw
+## 2026-08-19 — pi-web-access: SearXNG endpoint re-pointed to dankclaw (pi era)

-* **Config**: `~/.pi/web-search.json` — `searxngBaseUrl` moved from the dead `192.168.0.235:8081` (dankserver, connection refused) to `192.168.0.143:8081` (dankclaw; verified live: HTTP 200, 25 JSON results, 0.8 s). Deleted the redundant `provider: "all"` (the `searchProvider: "searxng"` pin already wins in v0.22). Added `maxInlineContentChars: 50000`. Kept `workflow: "none"` and `ssrf.allowRanges: ["192.168.0.0/24"]`.
-* **Docs**: `pi/packages/pi-web-access.md` bumped 0.14.0 → 0.22.0 (18-provider chain, config block, active-setup note, GitHub-clone section, yt-dlp present). `agentic-web-research/` SearXNG endpoint references repointed `.235` → `.143` (index, searxng-tuning, vpn-routing).
-* **Note**: pi-web-access caches `web-search.json` in memory per process — the new endpoint takes effect on the next Pi session, not the running one.
-* **Packages**: `yt-dlp` installed on the workstation (2026.07.04) — YouTube frame extraction now works; `ffmpeg` (n9.0.1) was already present.
+`searxngBaseUrl` moved off dead `.235:8081` to `.143:8081`; pi caches

 ## 2026-08-19 — SearXNG + Gluetun bring-up on dankclaw

-Field notes from standing up the search stack (gluetun + searxng + valkey) and confirming agentic JSON search. All four are operational; the SearXNG trio runs via podman-compose (not yet boot-persistent quadlet).
+Durable field notes (now on concept pages — see

+[searxng-tuning.md](agentic-web-research/searxng-tuning.md),
+[engineering/infra/containers.md](engineering/infra/containers.md)):
+manual-WireGuard Proton needs `VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom` + the single-peer
+`WIREGUARD_*` env names (not `protonvpn`, not `WIREGUARD_PEERS_*`); gluetun
+ships no curl and `:8000` is the control server, not health; the limiter's
+JSON cap (`API_MAX=4`/hour) is hardcoded Python — `pass_ip` is the only
+bypass; rootless podman strips client IPs on published ports, so SearXNG must
+sit behind Caddy for XFF; quadlet generator rejects `CapAdd=`/`Device=` and
+generated units enable via `[Install] WantedBy=default.target`. ComfyUI on
+gfx1151: build on AMD's ROCm base and filter the torch family out of
+ComfyUI's requirements or you clobber the gfx1151 kernels.

-* **Gluetun manual WireGuard**: a specific-server ProtonVPN config (private key + peer + endpoint) uses `VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom`, NOT `protonvpn`. The `protonvpn` provider is account/token-based and rejects a manually-set endpoint with `endpoint port is set`. Current Gluetun uses the single-peer model: `WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY`, `WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP`, `WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_PORT`, `WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES` (not the old `WIREGUARD_PEERS_*` names). DNS is Gluetun's own `DNS_*` vars, not the WG `DNS` line.
-* **Gluetun healthcheck**: the image has no `curl`, and its `:8000` status server 404s on every path. Use `test: ["CMD","sh","-c","test -e /sys/class/net/tun0"]` — tun0 exists only while the tunnel is connected.
-* **SearXNG trusted group**: lives in `limiter.toml` (not `settings.yml`). A direct hit on the published port has no `X-Forwarded-For` header, so the bot-detection cannot resolve a client and returns 429 regardless of `pass_ip`. SearXNG must be reached through Caddy (which sets XFF); `trusted_proxies` then needs the podman bridge subnet (dynamic in rootless — pin the network CIDR) so Caddy's source is trusted for XFF extraction.
-* **Rootless podman gotchas**: short image names do not resolve (no unqualified-search registries) — qualify with `docker.io/`. Binding privileged ports (Caddy 80/443) needs the one-time sysctl `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80`.
-* **Repo**: `serverAppConfigs` — added `shared/searxng/limiter.toml` + test seam, wired it into `deploy.sh`, fixed the Gluetun compose (peer env vars, qualified images, tun0 healthcheck), documented the rootless-port + Caddy/XFF gotchas, and skipped the ComfyUI GPU tests (migration pending).
-* **Boot-persistence (quadlet)**: converted the trio from podman-compose to quadlet so it survives reboot. searxng sets `Network=gluetun.container` (reuses gluetun's netns → exits the tunnel); gluetun + valkey join a pinned `searxng.network` (10.89.2.0/24). Deployed via `scripts/deploy-searxng-quadlet.sh`. Field gotchas (also in `engineering/infra/containers.md`): the generator rejects `CapAdd=`/`Device=` (use `AddCapability=`/`AddDevice=`) and silently skips the unit; generated units cannot be `systemctl enable`d — `[Install] WantedBy=default.target` is the enablement (`is-enabled` = "generated"), and linger makes them boot-start. Verified: all three `is-enabled` = generated, tunnel up (US-WA), agentic JSON search returns 27 on-topic results.
-* **open-webui moved to dankclaw (quadlet)**: the old open-webui was a bare container on Dankserver (:3000) pointing at a dead `:9090` backend. It now runs on Dankclaw as a boot-persistent quadlet (`scripts/deploy-open-webui-quadlet.sh`): CPU image `:main` (Dankclaw is CPU-only), isolated on `Network=slirp4netns`, published `:3005` (:3000 is Gitea's HTTP port), data at `/home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data`. Default LLM backend is the local vLLM (`host.containers.internal:52625`). The Dankserver `searxng` + `open-webui` bare containers were retired (data dirs preserved). `podman inspect <name>` can match an IMAGE, not just a container — a removed container still "exists" to inspect if its image remains; use `podman ps -a --filter name=` to check containers.
-* **Model/port mapping corrected (live, 2026-08-19)**: the fleet endpoints are the REVERSE of the 2026-08-17 note. Live truth (probed `/v1/models`): `frank-default-large` is on **Dankclaw :52625** (vLLM, completion) and `frank-default-small` is on **Dankserver :7770** (llama.cpp FastMTP, completion+multimodal). The `serverAppConfigs` docs (Stack, OpenWebUI) were corrected; the sibling `vllmScripts` KB still carries the old mapping and should be updated there.
-* **SearXNG 429 root cause (the "diva")**: the limiter's JSON cap is `API_MAX = 4` requests/IP/hour and that constant is **hardcoded in Python** (`searx/botdetection/ip_limit.py`), NOT settable in `limiter.toml`. The only bypass is `pass_ip` (SearXNG's `filter_request` returns before `ip_limit` runs when the IP is in `pass_ip`). Second gotcha: **rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits** — a request to the published port reaches the container with a slirp/bridge source (`10.88.x`/`10.89.x`), never the real client; only Caddy's `X-Forwarded-For` restores it. So even a LAN-IP curl 429'd. Fix: expand `pass_ip` to loopback (`127.0.0.1/32`, `::1`) + the host's private podman/slirp ranges (`10.88.0.0/16`, `10.89.0.0/16`) + the LAN. Verified: 20 concurrent JSON searches → all 200 (real results), while a spoofed public IP (8.8.8.8) still 429s (limiter still armed). The config file is root-owned (uid of the rootless podman namespace) — update with a one-off `sudo cp` + `systemctl --user restart searxng.service`.
-* **ComfyUI GPU (gfx1151) — DONE (Option 1/B)**: the deferred GPU ComfyUI is now built and running. It was previously a bare CPU venv (`/home/dank/ComfyUI`, py3.14, `torch 2.13.0+cu130` with no NVIDIA → CPU fallback). Now it's a **container** `comfyui-rocm:gfx1151` built from `dankclaw/Containerfile.comfyui` on AMD's `rocm/vllm:rocm7.12.0_gfx1151_..._py3.12_pytorch_2.9.1` base (the only torch build where `torch.cuda.is_available()=True` on the Strix Halo APU). Key gotchas: (1) the base image already ships the ROCm torch/torchvision/torchaudio, so the Containerfile must **skip the torch family** from ComfyUI's `requirements.txt` (an unpinned `torch` would clobber the gfx1151 kernels) — filter with `grep -viE '^(torch|torchvision|torchaudio)([^a-z]|$)'`. (2) **rootless podman cannot `--group-add render`** (gid 990 is outside the subgid range 100000+); GPU access comes from the `/dev/kfd`+`/dev/dri` passthrough checked host-side (the run user is already in `render`), so add only the `video` group. Verified: `/system_stats` → `cuda:0 Radeon 8060S`, logs show `AMD arch: gfx1151` + active HIP backend. Boot-persistent via a user systemd unit running `podman compose up -d comfyui` (old venv unit saved as `comfyui.service.venv.bak`). The 4 `comfyui_rocm.bats` tests are un-skipped (the group test now asserts video present + render ABSENT).
+## 2026-08-17 — Fleet redo + vLLM tool calling (pi era)

-## 2026-08-17 — Fleet redo + vLLM tool calling
+Fleet moved off the pipeline-parallel + NPU topology; Quark W8A8 quant chosen
+over the Avesed INT8 for clean Qwen3 XML tool calls.

-* **Update**: `pi/models.md` — providers rewritten for the fleet redo: `llamacpp (dankserver)` at :7770 and `vllm (dankclaw)` at :52625; model selection strategy and live defaults brought in line with the new topology and the Quark W8A8 model.
-* **Context**: the Frank fleet moved off the pipeline-parallel + NPU topology. `frank-default-large` (llama.cpp FastMTP, IQ4_XS) is on Dankserver; `frank-default-small` (vLLM ROCm, nameistoken Qwen3.6-35B-A3B Quark W8A8 INT8) is on Dankclaw with ngram spec and tool calling. The Avesed INT8 quant's tool-call XML fidelity was poor; the Quark quant follows the Qwen3 XML format cleanly.
+## 2026-08-16 — Gitea boot-persistence fix (dankclaw)

+`unattended-upgrades` reboot exposed that the compose-era Gitea had no
+systemd units (~1 h down). Stack rewritten as quadlet (names, `systemd-gitea`
+network, linger + `WantedBy=default.target`, app.ini env-override gotcha, UID
+100999 ownership) across `tools/gitea/*`; `podman generate systemd` marked
+deprecated in [engineering/infra/containers.md](engineering/infra/containers.md).

-## 2026-08-16
+## 2026-08-13 — Pi subagent limits recorded (pi era)

-### Gitea Boot-Persistence Fix (dankclaw)
+Effective caps: globalConcurrencyLimit 2, parallel.maxTasks 8 / concurrency 4,
+maxSubagentDepth 2, turnBudget 30; no per-model limit. See
+[pi/packages/pi-subagents.md](pi/packages/pi-subagents.md).

-* **Incident**: `unattended-upgrades` rebooted dankclaw at 15:01. The legacy podman-compose Gitea stack had no systemd units, so rootless podman did not auto-start the containers. Gitea was down ~1 hour.
-* **Update**: `tools/gitea/index.md`, `architecture.md`, `management.md`, `data-persistence.md` — rewritten for the quadlet-managed stack: container/unit names, the `systemd-gitea` network (DNS-enabled), boot persistence (linger + `WantedBy=default.target`), the app.ini env-override gotcha, UID 100999 ownership, incident log.
-* **Update**: `engineering/infra/containers.md` — marked `podman generate systemd` deprecated (podman 5.7), documented Quadlet with a field-tested gotcha list (default network DNS off, `[Service] EnvironmentFile=` for `${VAR}` expansion, unit naming, bind-mount UID mapping).
+## 2026-08-11 — Engineering research area; skills leaderboard verified

-## 2026-08-13
+Created `engineering/` (SDLC, agent instruction files, stacks, infra,
+plugins, skills ecosystem, Signal remote) via parallel research fleet.
+Skills leaderboard replaced with the ranked list from the skills.sh API
+(zero-based pagination, 200-skill pages).

-### Pi Subagents Limits
+## 2026-08-11 — Agentic web research section; exhaustive bundle audit

-* Added a "Parallel Execution and Limits" section to `pi/packages/pi-subagents.md`.
-* Documented the effective values: `globalConcurrencyLimit` 2 (from `extensions/subagent/config.json`), `parallel.maxTasks` 8, `parallel.concurrency` 4, `maxSubagentSpawnsPerSession` unlimited, `maxSubagentDepth` 2, and `turnBudget.maxTurns` 30.
-* Noted that no per-model limit exists; all caps are global to a run or a session.
+Created `agentic-web-research/` (8 pages) and rewrote them on 2025/2026
+evidence (SearXNG valkey deployment, real engine defaults, limiter budgets,
+Gluetun pattern, open-model claim triage, MCP transports). Audit: 154+
+wikilinks resolved, dead external links fixed, `MemorySleepMode=deep`
+verified valid (systemd 256+), ASD-STE100 style pass. `AGENTS.md` created as
+the system behavior contract.

-## 2026-08-11 (continued)
+## 2026-08-06 — Link fixes; ComfyUI docs; major documentation overhaul

-### Engineering Research — New Area
+Fixed 15 broken wikilinks (missing frontmatter) + title mismatches → zero
+broken. Added ComfyUI pages, per-host system docs, pi config tree, tools
+entries; orphaned root duplicates moved to `.AGENTTRASH/`.

-* Created the `engineering/` research area: SDLC and tooling, agent instruction files, language and framework stacks, infrastructure and cloud, pi plugins, skills ecosystem, and Signal remote control.
-* Ran a parallel research fleet (scout + 6 researchers) grounded in current 2025/2026 web sources.
+## 2026-07-18 — Maintenance tooling

-### Skills Leaderboard — Live Verification
+Expanded `references/okf-maintenance.md` (cross-links, health metrics,
+troubleshooting); created `core/log.md` and `.okf/config.yaml`.

-* Queried the skills.sh API (`GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}`) for the authoritative top 50 skills by all-time installs.
-* Replaced the inferred category table in `engineering/skills-ecosystem.md` with the verified ranked list.
-* Noted the API’s zero-based pagination and 200-skill page size for future queries.
+## 2026-01-15 — OKF conversion

-## 2026-08-11 (continued)
-
-### Agentic Web Research — Grounded Revision
-
-* Ran a parallel research fleet (7 researchers + 2 scouts) for current 2025-2026 evidence on SearXNG tuning, VPN split-routing, agentic search, open models, research orchestration, and MCP.
-* Rewrote all 8 `agentic-web-research/` pages to match verified facts and the local topology: SearXNG at `192.168.0.235:8081`, llama.cpp inference on `7770` (dankserver/dankclaw) and `8080` (local-ornith), main model `openrouter/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`.
-* SearXNG: corrected to Valkey deployment, real engine defaults (DuckDuckGo/Wikipedia/Google News active, Google inactive, Bing disabled), limiter budgets, current `outgoing` defaults.
-* VPN: added Gluetun as the recommended pattern, corrected OpenVPN container joins, added `source_ips`/`network: ipv4`.
-* Open models: clarified Llama 4 claims (10M ctx = Scout only, single-H100 needs INT4, "beats GPT-4o" is Meta-only), added Qwen2.5-VL-7B as best self-hostable vision model.
-* Web agents: corrected the Browser Use "87.4%" claim (managed Cloud variant, not open-source; peer-reviewed 44.5% for CUA), added Skyvern.
-* MCP: updated transports (stdio + Streamable HTTP, legacy SSE), current reference servers, added SearXNG MCP, tightened security rules.
-
-### Exhaustive Bundle Audit
-
-* Link audit: resolved all 154+ wikilinks by frontmatter title — **0 broken wikilinks**. Fixed relative-link base errors in `core/index-doc.md`, `packages/index.md`, `pi-web-access.md`, `llama-cpp/setup.md`, `npx-skills/skill-commands.md`, `packages/pi-browser-use/index.md`.
-* External URL audit: fixed dead links (SearXNG limiter path, earendil-works/pi blob URLs, AYayOS/qs -> outfoxxed/quickshell, badlogic/pi-mono -> earendil-works/pi).
-* Factual fixes: `core/settings.md` stale JSON (defaultProvider/model/thinkingLevel/changelog-version), `pi/models.md` dankclaw auth, `Sleep-Fix-Guide.md` kernel 7.1.3 -> 7.1.4.
-* Verified (did not change) `MemorySleepMode=deep`: it is a valid systemd 256+ option.
-* ASD-STE100 style pass: removed contractions, banned `may`, and prose semicolons across research/tools/pi docs.
-* Added OKF index frontmatter to `core/index.md` and `skills/index.md`.
-* Added a "Pi-peon is installed" note to the npx skills ecosystem table and a port-7770 system note to llama.cpp docs.
-
-### Agentic Web Research Section
-
-* Created `agentic-web-research/` — seven new concept pages plus index covering self-hosted web agents, SearXNG tuning, VPN routing, agentic search practices, open models, research effectiveness, and model context protocol.
-* Expanded via parallel research: concrete BM25/Pruning/LLM content filters, credibility heuristics, failure-mode guardrails, MCP server and transport guidance.
-* Added the section to `index.md` under a new `## [Agentic Web Research]` heading.
-* Linked `pi/packages/pi-web-access.md` to the new section.
-
-### System Instruction File
-
-* Created `AGENTS.md` — system behavior contract with a dedicated layer on parallel subagent execution (one `subagent` call with `tasks` + `concurrency`).
-
-### Bundle Audit
-
-* Verified all 154 wikilinks resolve (zero broken).
-* Removed stale empty `Alienware M16a2 Sleep/Wake Issues.md` duplicate into `.AGENTTRASH`.
-* ran ASD-STE100 style pass: converted `should` to imperative or `must`, and `e.g.` to `for example` across 10 files.
-* Removed stale `frank-default-omni` model references and corrected dankclaw port `13305` to `8080` per commit `15d4af4`.
-* **Resolved**: the live config is authoritative. Updated both llama.cpp servers to port `7770` and set the default provider to `openrouter` (deepseek) per `settings.json`. Dankserver/dankclaw now 7770; main session default is openrouter.
-
-## 2026-08-06 (continued)
-
-### Link Fixes
-
-* Fixed 15 broken wikilinks — added missing YAML frontmatter to `ghostty/index.md`, `tmux/index.md`, `linux-power-management/index.md`, `gitea/index.md`, `gitea/architecture.md`, `gitea/data-persistence.md`, `gitea/management.md`
-* Fixed title mismatches: `OKF v0.1 Specification` → `Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.1 Specification`, `Pi Settings` → `Pi Settings System (settings.json)`, `Alienware M16a2 Sleep/Wake Issues` → `Alienware M16a2 Linux Sleep/Wake Issues`, `Architecture Details` → `Gitea Architecture`, `Data Persistence` → `Gitea Data Persistence`, `Management Guide` → `Gitea Management`
-* Zero broken links remaining (47 links verified)

-# Alienware M16a2 Sleep/Wake Fix Guide
-
-Based on diagnostics from your system (CachyOS, Kernel 7.1.4, NVIDIA RTX 40-series)
-
---
-
-## Problem Summary
-
-Your system enters sleep when closing the lid, but the screen stays black on wake. Diagnostics show:
- **Sleep state:** s2idle (Modern Standby) - problematic for NVIDIA hybrid GPUs
- **NVIDIA services:** Disabled (nvidia-suspend.service, nvidia-resume.service)
- **Kernel errors:** ACPI D-Notifier failures, spd5118 resume errors
-
---
-
-## Fix #1: Enable NVIDIA Suspend Services (⚠️ MOST IMPORTANT)
-
-This is the #1 cause of your issue. The NVIDIA GPU state is not being preserved during suspend.
-
-```bash
-# Enable the NVIDIA suspend/resume services
-sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service
-sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service
-
-# Verify they're enabled
-systemctl status nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-resume.service
-```
-
-**Deterministic verification:**
-```bash
-# This shows "enabled" for both services when the fixes work
-systemctl is-enabled nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-resume.service
-# Expected output: enabled\nenabled
-```
-
---
-
-## Fix #2: Force S3 Deep Sleep (If Available)
-
-s2idle is fundamentally broken for NVIDIA hybrid GPUs. Try forcing S3 deep sleep:
-
-```bash
-# Check if S3 is supported
-cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
-# If you see "[s2idle] deep" or "s2idle [deep]", S3 is available
-
-# Temporarily test S3
-echo deep | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep
-
-# Test suspend
-systemctl suspend
-# If this works, make it permanent
-```
-
-**Make S3 permanent:**
-```bash
-# Create systemd override
-sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/sleep.d
-sudo tee /etc/systemd/sleep.d/deep-sleep.conf > /dev/null <<'EOF'
-[Sleep]
-MemSleepDefault=deep
-EOF
-
-# Or add kernel parameter (alternative method)
-# See Fix #4 below
-```
-
-**Deterministic verification:**
-```bash
-# Should show [deep] instead of [s2idle]
-cat /sys/power/mem_sleep
-```
-
-**If S3 is NOT available** (you only see `[s2idle]`):
- Check your BIOS for "Deep Sleep", "S3 Support", or "Sleep State" settings
- Update BIOS to latest version (Dell often enables S3 in updates)
- Some newer laptops have S3 disabled in firmware - BIOS update may be required
-
---
-
-## Fix #3: Blacklist nvidiafb Module
-
-The NVIDIA framebuffer module can cause black screen on resume:
-
-```bash
-# Create blacklist file
-sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidiafb.conf > /dev/null <<'EOF'
-blacklist nvidiafb
-EOF
-
-# Regenerate initramfs
-sudo mkinitcpio -P
-
-# Verify nvidiafb is not loaded
-lsmod | grep nvidiafb
-# Expected: no output
-```
-
-**Deterministic verification:**
-```bash
-# Should return non-zero (module not found)
-lsmod | grep -q nvidiafb && echo "FAIL: nvidiafb loaded" || echo "PASS: nvidiafb not loaded"
-```
-
---
-
-## Fix #4: Add Kernel Parameters
-
-Add these parameters to improve ACPI and sleep behavior:
-
-```bash
-# For GRUB (edit /etc/default/grub):
-# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... mem_sleep_default=deep acpi_backlight=vendor"
-
-# For systemd-boot (edit /boot/loader/entries/*.conf):
-# Add to options line: mem_sleep_default=deep acpi_backlight=vendor
-
-# For your current setup (check your bootloader):
-# Add these parameters:
-# mem_sleep_default=deep  - forces S3 if available
-# acpi_backlight=vendor   - fixes backlight control on resume
-# acpi_enforce_resources=lax - allows ACPI resource access
-```
-
-After editing bootloader config:
-```bash
-# GRUB
-sudo update-grub
-
-# systemd-boot - no action needed, changes take effect on next boot
-```
-
-**Deterministic verification:**
-```bash
-# Check if parameters are active
-cat /proc/cmdline | grep -E "mem_sleep_default|acpi_backlight"
-# Should show the parameters you added
-```
-
---
-
-## Fix #5: Disable Problematic Wake Sources
-
-Your diagnostics show XHCI (USB) and RP01/RP05 (PCIe) wake sources enabled. These can cause issues:
-
-```bash
-# View current wake sources
-cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
-
-# Toggle problematic devices (XHCI is common culprit)
-# WARNING: This is temporary - resets on reboot
-sudo sh -c 'echo XHCI > /proc/acpi/wakeup'
-```
-
-**To make permanent**, create a systemd service:
-```bash
-sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/disable-wake-devices.service > /dev/null <<'EOF'
-[Unit]
-Description=Disable problematic wake devices
-Before=sleep.target
-
-[Service]
-Type=oneshot
-ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo XHCI > /proc/acpi/wakeup'
-ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo RP01 > /proc/acpi/wakeup'
-ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo RP05 > /proc/acpi/wakeup'
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=sleep.target
-EOF
-
-sudo systemctl enable disable-wake-devices.service
-```
-
---
-
-## Fix #6: Update BIOS/Firmware
-
-Dell frequently releases BIOS updates that fix ACPI/suspend bugs:
-
-```bash
-# Check for firmware updates
-sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
-
-# If updates available:
-sudo fwupdmgr update
-```
-
-**Deterministic verification:**
-```bash
-# Check current BIOS version
-dmidecode -s bios-version
-dmidecode -s bios-release-date
-# Compare with Dell support site for your M16a2
-```
-
---
-
-## Fix #7: Configure TLP (If Installed)
-
-If you use TLP for power management, add these settings:
-
-```bash
-sudo tee -a /etc/tlp.conf > /dev/null <<'EOF'
-# NVIDIA power management
-RUNTIME_PM_ON_AUTO_SUSPEND=auto
-RUNTIME_PM_ON_IDLE_THRESHOLD=30
-
-# PCI Express ASPM
-PCIE_ASPM_ON_AC=powersupersave
-PCIE_ASPM_ON_BAT=powersupersave
-EOF
-
-# Restart TLP
-sudo tlp start
-```
-
---
-
-## Testing Procedure
-
-After applying fixes, test in this order:
-
-### Test 1: Manual Suspend
-```bash
-# Simple suspend test
-systemctl suspend
-# Expected: System sleeps, wakes properly when you press a key/move mouse
-```
-
-### Test 2: Lid Close Test
-```bash
-# Check lid trigger setting
-cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf | grep HandleLidSwitch
-# Should be: HandleLidSwitch=suspend
-
-# Test by physically closing the lid
-# Expected: System sleeps, wakes properly when you open the lid
-```
-
-### Test 3: Automated Test
-```bash
-# Run 5 suspend/resume cycles
-for i in {1..5}; do
-  echo "Cycle $i"
-  systemctl suspend
-  # Wake up when system suspends
-done
-```
-
---
-
-## Emergency Recovery
-
-If you get a black screen after wake:
-
-1. **Try switching TTY:** `Ctrl+Alt+F3` - if this works, it is a display issue
-2. **SSH into the machine** from another device and check logs
-3. **Hard reset:** Hold power button for 10 seconds
-4. **Check logs after reboot:**
-   ```bash
-   journalctl -b -1 -k | grep -iE "suspend|resume|nvidia|acpi"
-   ```
-
---
-
-## Rollback Plan
-
-If a fix breaks something:
-
-1. **NVIDIA services:** `sudo systemctl disable nvidia-suspend.service`
-2. **S3 sleep:** Remove the sleep.d config or kernel parameter
-3. **nvidiafb blacklist:** Remove `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidiafb.conf` and regenerate initramfs
-4. **Kernel parameters:** Edit bootloader config to remove parameters
-
---
-
-## Summary of Changes to Apply
-
-| Fix | Priority | Command |
-|-----|----------|---------|
-| Enable NVIDIA services | ⚠️ CRITICAL | `sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service nvidia-resume.service` |
-| Blacklist nvidiafb | HIGH | Create `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidiafb.conf` + `sudo mkinitcpio -P` |
-| Force S3 sleep | HIGH | `echo deep \| sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep` (test first) |
-| Kernel parameters | MEDIUM | Add `mem_sleep_default=deep acpi_backlight=vendor` to bootloader |
-| Update BIOS | MEDIUM | `sudo fwupdmgr get-updates` |
-| Disable wake sources | LOW | Create wake device toggle service |
-
---
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. **Start with Fix #1** (enable NVIDIA services) - this is most likely the issue
-2. **Test suspend** after each fix
-3. **Apply Fix #2** if s2idle continues to fail
-4. **Apply Fix #3** (blacklist nvidiafb) - low risk, high reward
-5. **Consider Fix #4** (kernel parameters) if issues persist
-6. **Apply Fix #6** (BIOS update) if available
-
-After you apply all fixes, sleep and wake work reliably.

+
+# The Agent Skills Standard
+
+A **skill** is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file: YAML frontmatter
+(`name` + `description`) followed by markdown instructions, plus optional
+`scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/`. The standard is maintained at
+[agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io) and adopted by 79 coding agents
+(upstream agent registry, checked 2026-10-19), so one skill works across
+harnesses. The `skills` CLI installs them; see
+[Skills CLI](/skills/skills-cli.md).
+
+## SKILL.md format
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: my-skill
+description: What the skill does and when to use it.
+---
+
+# My Skill
+Instructions the agent follows when the skill activates.
+```
+
+### Frontmatter fields
+
+| Field | Required | Notes |
+|-------|----------|-------|
+| `name` | yes | Max 64 chars; lowercase `a-z`, `0-9`, hyphens; no leading/trailing or consecutive hyphens (`pdf-processing` good, `PDF-Processing`, `-pdf`, `pdf--processing` bad). Pi does not require the name to match the parent directory; the standard does. |
+| `description` | yes | Max 1024 chars. The only text the agent sees when deciding whether to activate the skill. First sentence: what it does. Second: when to use it. |
+| `license` | no | License name or reference to a bundled file. |
+| `compatibility` | no | Max 500 chars; environment requirements. |
+| `metadata` | no | Arbitrary key/value mapping. `metadata.internal: true` hides the skill from discovery unless `INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS=1` (skills CLI convention). |
+| `allowed-tools` | no | Space-delimited pre-approved tools (experimental; agent support varies — Zencoder and Kiro do not implement it). |
+| `disable-model-invocation` | no | When `true`, the skill is hidden from the system prompt; users invoke it explicitly (`/skill:name`). |
+
+### Directory structure
+
+```
+my-skill/
+├── SKILL.md       # Required entry point
+├── scripts/       # Helper scripts (bash, js, python, ...)
+├── references/    # Detailed docs, loaded on demand
+├── assets/        # Templates, configs, binary data
+└── config.json    # Optional skill settings
+```
+
+Everything except `SKILL.md` is freeform. Scripts save tokens and improve
+reliability when the same code would otherwise be regenerated per run.
+
+## Loading: progressive disclosure
+
+Harnesses (pi, omp, Claude Code, ...) load skills the same way:
+
+1. At startup, scan configured skill locations; extract `name` + `description` only.
+2. Inject the metadata list into the system prompt.
+3. On a matching task, the agent reads the full `SKILL.md` and follows it,
+   referencing bundled scripts by relative path.
+
+Only descriptions live in context permanently; full instructions load on demand.
+On omp the load order is priority-ranked: authored `agent/skills/` (100) beats
+the `~/.agents` store provider, which beats auto-learned
+`agent/managed-skills/` (5). See [Skill Store Wiring](/skills/store-wiring.md).
+
+## Skills vs extensions
+
+| | Skills | Extensions |
+|---|--------|------------|
+| Format | Markdown (`SKILL.md`) + scripts | TypeScript (`.ts`) |
+| Purpose | Instructions for the model | Code intercepting events, registering tools |
+| Execution | The agent reads and follows | Runs in the harness runtime |
+| Loading | On demand | Always loaded at startup |
+| Trust model | Review the text (it instructs the model) | Review the code (it executes) |
+
+A harness package may bundle both (pi did; omp extensions live in
+`agent/extensions/`).
+
+## Authoring practice
+
+- Descriptions beat clever bodies: activation depends entirely on the description matching the user's words. "Extracts text and tables from PDF files, fills forms, merges documents" beats "Helps with PDFs."
+- Keep `SKILL.md` focused; push long detail into `references/` (files load whole; split past roughly 500 lines).
+- Skills instruct the model to run arbitrary commands, and scripts run with full user permissions. Review content before installing from untrusted sources.
+- Document dependencies (tools, API keys, setup steps) inside the skill.

+# Skills Ecosystem
+
+The open agent-skills ecosystem is a set of registries over the shared
+[Agent Skills standard](/skills/agent-skills.md), installed with the
+[Skills CLI](/skills/skills-cli.md).
+
+## Registries
+
+| Registry | Focus |
+|----------|-------|
+| [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) | Primary registry and all-time install leaderboard. |
+| [agentskill.sh](https://agentskill.sh) | Broad directory/marketplace. |
+| [officialskills.sh](https://officialskills.sh) | Skills from major organizations. |
+| [qaskills.sh](https://qaskills.sh) | QA and testing skills. |
+
+## skills.sh leaderboard API
+
+Fetch the all-time ranking programmatically:
+
+```bash
+curl 'https://skills.sh/api/skills/all-time/0'
+```
+
+Response is `{ skills, total, hasMore, page }`. Pagination is **zero-based**,
+**200 skills per page** (`GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}`). Each entry carries
+`source`, `skillId`, `name`, `installs`, `weeklyInstalls` (last ~8 weeks), and
+`isOfficial`. Verified live 2026-10-19: page 0 returned 200 entries,
+`total` 9909, `hasMore` true.
+
+## Install snapshot (2026-10-19, live)
+
+Top 10 by all-time installs, queried from the API above:
+
+| # | Skill | Source | Installs |
+|---|-------|--------|----------|
+| 1 | `find-skills` | vercel-labs/skills | 3,927,274 |
+| 2 | `grill-me` | mattpocock/skills | 1,387,557 |
+| 3 | `grill-with-docs` | mattpocock/skills | 1,188,473 |
+| 4 | `agent-browser` | vercel-labs/agent-browser | 1,170,738 |
+| 5 | `improve-codebase-architecture` | mattpocock/skills | 1,133,991 |
+| 6 | `tdd` | mattpocock/skills | 1,110,148 |
+| 7 | `hyperframes-cli` | heygen-com/hyperframes | 1,109,284 |
+| 8 | `hyperframes` | heygen-com/hyperframes | 1,063,942 |
+| 9 | `setup-matt-pocock-skills` | mattpocock/skills | 1,024,734 |
+| 10 | `handoff` | mattpocock/skills | 1,008,869 |
+
+`mattpocock/skills` dominates the workflow/design middle of the board; a single
+`find-skills` out-installs the next several combined. Vendor suites (Lark, Azure)
+that filled ranks 12-50 in the 2026-08-12 snapshot have since dropped out of the
+head, so this page keeps only a live top-10 rather than a full 50-row table that
+rots between queries. Re-query the API above for a current census.
