Expand systemd specifiers before calling a unit foreign

The first real `deploy.sh` run on blankpad printed: SKIP live-sync.service (ExecStart '%h/.omp/scripts/live-sync.sh' absent on this host) while `/home/blank/.omp/scripts/live-sync.sh` sits right there. `%h` is expanded by systemd, never by the shell, so the literal string was handed to `command -v`, failed, and the unit was declared to belong to another machine — through the same code path whose whole purpose is to keep a *foreign* unit inert, and silently. The victim was this repo's own heartbeat, and the verdict was the same on every box that ever deployed it, because `%h` is exactly where the checkout lives. Nothing broke tonight only by luck of install state: `live-sync.service` is `linked`, driven by its timer, so the heartbeat kept running while the deploy lied about it. A unit whose only install route was this loop would simply never have been enabled anywhere. `%h`, `%u` and `%U` are now expanded before resolution; an unrecognised specifier is left alone so it fails loudly rather than being guessed at. Pinned by a test that writes a `%h/.local/bin/helper` unit into the scratch home — red before (`SKIP`), green after (`already linked; not started`), which also keeps the #45 rule intact: resolving a unit is not licence to start it. Refs #44. Verification: `bats tests/` 71/71, `kb-lint.sh omp-docs` 0 violations, `kb-coverage.py` 0 issues, `bash -n` clean.

-name: command-center-dotfiles-import
-description: Runbook for importing client env-layer configs into the command-center repo and deploying them via stow on new fleet machines; decisions agreed with Frank 2026-09-09 (pre-execution — verify execution state before assuming done).
---
-
-Design agreed with Frank for importing client application/environment configs into the `~/.omp` command-center repo and deploying them on fresh machines. **Status: plan agreed, not yet executed** — check repo state (does `dotfiles/` or `scripts/deploy.sh` exist?) before re-deriving; if already implemented, this becomes the operating model, not a to-do.
-
-## Agreed decisions (each was an explicit user choice)
-1. **Target**: unknown/TBD fresh machine → design stays host-agnostic; deploy derives overrides from `$(hostname)` at run time. Nothing hardcodes a target.
-2. **Scope**: environment layer only — niri (+cfg includes), gtk-3.0/4.0 settings, ghostty, alacritty, shell rc files (`.zshrc`, `.bashrc`, `.profile`, `.p10k.zsh`), fish, systemd user units, autostart, dconf. App *data* (browser profiles, vaults, DBs) never imported.
-3. **Layout**: stow-style package dirs `dotfiles/<pkg>/<home-relative path>` inside the repo; repo clones to `~/.omp` on every host that runs the harness (full command-center clone, not env-layer only).
-4. **Deploy mechanism**: symlink farm — `stow -t ~` from `~/.omp/dotfiles`; relative symlinks within `$HOME` work because repo root lives inside `$HOME`.
-5. **Dogfood order**: convert the workstation itself (real dirs → symlinks via adopt) BEFORE any target import; iterate where the compositor reload is observable.
-6. **Secrets policy**: never commit secret values. Split rc files into committed logic + untracked sourced-if-exists stub (`~/.config/environment.d/secrets.env` or `.zshrc.local`); real values provisioned out-of-band only on machines that need them. Pre-commit secret scanner stays as safety net, not gate of first resort.
-7. **Divergence**: `zz-<hostname>` override package stowed LAST with `--override`; only per-host diffs live there. (Stow descends into conflicting symlinked dirs — per-file overrides only work via this last-stowed `--override` pattern.)
-8. **Deploy trigger**: explicit `scripts/deploy.sh` invocation, human- or agent-invoked. NO auto-deploy on pull — pull and deploy are separate decisions; `--check` = drift report mode.
-9. **Ownership**: Frank is sole push authority; exactly one editing agent at a time → no multi-writer race machinery needed. Each host's agent edits only its own `zz-<hostname>` package.
-10. **Conflict policy**: pre-existing regular file that differs from repo truth → move to timestamped `.quarantine/` dir on the target (never `rm`, same convention as this repo's trash rule), symlink anyway, print every replacement in deploy output and `--check` report. Repo truth always wins; divergence recoverable from quarantine.
-11. **First-clone auth**: human types credential once console-side (URL-with-token or prompt); the new machine's secrets exist only there afterward.
-
-## Implementation gotchas baked into the design
- `core.hooksPath` is a per-clone local setting — does NOT survive clone; bootstrap/deploy must set it on every fresh clone or the secret-gate pre-commit hook silently doesn't run there.
- dconf/gsettings are databases, not files: import as `dconf dump /` text into repo; deploy runs `dconf load` instead of symlinking.
- p10k installer and toolchain hooks append to rc files at install time — expect conflicts on `.zshrc`-class files at first adopt; quarantine-and-replace handles it, but diff live-vs-repo before adopting so pre-existing drift is seen, not silently adopted.
- Known secret at import time: `GITEA_TOKEN` export lived in `.zshrc` (line ~22) on the workstation — quarantine BEFORE importing rc files; consider token rotation at cutover since it had been exposed in plaintext rc + remote URL.
-
-## Deploy script spec agreed
-`scripts/deploy.sh`: sets hooksPath → stows all base packages → stows `zz-$(hostname)` with `--override` → first run uses `--adopt` for pre-existing identical files → divergent files quarantined-and-reported; `--check` mode emits drift report (modified tracked files vs deployed symlinks) without mutating.

-name: stash-supersession-audit-before-drop
-description: "Before dropping a stale git stash, prove it's superseded by HEAD via per-file line-set diff of git show stash@{0}:file vs HEAD; archive as an annotated tag and drop only after auditing unique facts — zero-loss alternative to blind drop."
---
-
-# Stash Supersession Audit Before Drop
-
-Use when a repo (especially a live-deployment checkout where the working tree IS the deployment, e.g. `~/.omp` command-center) has an old stash whose content may have been superseded by later commits, and dropping blindly risks losing unique facts.
-
-## Procedure
-
-1. **Inventory the stash** — see which files it touches:
-   ```bash
-   git stash show --stat stash@{0}
-   ```
-2. **Probe for unique content per file.** For each touched file, diff stash version against HEAD and count lines that exist only in the stash version:
-   ```bash
-   git show "stash@{0}:<path>" > /tmp/stash_copy
-   # compare normalized line sets; report lines present in stash but absent from HEAD
-   ```
-   A file with `unique-vs-HEAD = 0` is fully superseded — safe to drop for that file.
-3. **Classify each unique-content hit**:
-   - *Stale fact* (superseded by a later refactor, e.g. old model/provider naming) → drop is correct.
-   - *Live durable fact* (e.g. an operational invariant never re-recorded) → extract it into the live memory/docs file or flag to the user before dropping.
-4. **Archive before dropping** — zero-loss: tag the stash commit, then drop from the stash list:
-   ```bash
-   git tag archive/stash-<YYYY-MM-DD>-<base-branch>-wip "stash@{0}"
-   git stash drop "stash@{0}"
-   ```
-   The tag pins the full stash object (including its index parent); recoverable later via `git show archive/stash-...` or `git checkout archive/stash-...^3 -- <path>` for the untracked-files third parent if present.
-
-## Why
-Stashes are invisible in normal history and expire from reflogs (~90 days). A stash that *looks* superseded can still hold the only copy of a durable fact; tagging converts "drop" into a reversible archive with zero workflow cost.

 ## Secret gate (HARD rule)

+headers, JWTs, bcrypt hashes, `Authorization: Basic` headers) are scanned across
+the **entire** staged diff — every file type, because the first version of the
+gate whitelisted extensions and never read a `.env`, `.container`, `.ini`, or
+extension-less dotfile at all. Credential **assignments** (`PASSWORD=…`,
+`secret_key: …`) are scanned in non-prose files only; markdown keeps shape
+detection, because the auto-learned memory tier is prose *about* credentials and a
+gate that fires there gets overridden until it means nothing. The gate **fails
+closed**: if it cannot read the staged diff it refuses the commit rather than

+values), `trust.json`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, `identity*`. Deliberate override:

+name: amd-apu-vulkan-tenant-onboarding
+description: "Add a ggml/Vulkan inference tenant to an AMD APU (gfx1151 / Strix Halo iGPU) that already serves another engine: APU memory census, RADV heap gate, render-node resolution, build-side glslc/ICD deps, co-tenancy measurement."
+---
+
+Use when a ggml-based engine (llama.cpp, qwentts.cpp, anything built on ggml) must move from CPU to the **iGPU** of an AMD APU (gfx1151 / Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max) that **already serves another engine on the same card**. Answers two questions only a booted host can: what gate the second tenant must clear, and which files the build needs to clear it.
+
+## 1. The usual VRAM reasoning is wrong on an APU
+
+`/sys/class/drm/cardN/device/mem_info_vram_total` reports a small **carve-out** (2 GiB class), and `rocm-smi`'s "dedicated" figure is not the working set either. The real working set lives in **GTT / system pages**: `/proc/meminfo` → `GTT` and `System pages`. A second GPU tenant therefore consumes host RAM from the same pool the first tenant's weights and the OS use — no supplementary groups, no separate aperture to reserve.
+
+- Price the tenant from a **booted** footprint, never from `weights + KV + buffers`: on an APU the compute buffers and any projector ride on GTT, which is host RAM; check `free` *after* the load, not before.
+- Never subtract a "dedicated" figure from it to find headroom.
+- Unheld fabric clock (`pp_dpm_mech` = `auto`) is a hazard only when the NPU joins too; a pure iGPU pair is unaffected — check it before adding a third tenant.
+- Swap on a host with GPU tenants protects co-tenants; paging a KV pool is worse than the OOM it prevents.
+
+## 2. The gate that decides feasibility: the RADV heap a container sees
+
+`rocm-smi` and `free` cannot see this number; only a container off the **engine's own base image** can:
+
+```bash
+# one-off container, no model, no load, no compute — safe beside production
+podman run --rm --device /dev/dri --group-add keep-groups <engine-base> bash -c \
+  'apt-get update -qq >/dev/null 2>&1; apt-get install -y -qq --no-install-recommends mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-tools glslang-tools >/dev/null 2>&1; vulkaninfo --text'
+```
+
+Read `VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties` → the `DEVICE_LOCAL` heap size. On a hybrid Strix Halo box Mesa splits the aperture (~1/3 : 2/3), so `DEVICE_LOCAL` is the budget the ggml tool will actually allocate against — measured 77.33 GiB *with the first tenant loaded*, against a 2 GiB DRM carve-out. Two traps, both measured:
+
+- `vulkaninfo --batch` does not exist in Ubuntu 24.04's `vulkan-tools` (prints help, exits 1). Every `vulkaninfo` parse needs `--text`.
+- The container may have **no NVIDIA ICD**, so Vulkan index `0` *is* the iGPU — but do not trust ordering by index: `--text` and read `deviceName` + `driverID` (`RADV_GFX1151` vs `NVIDIA`). A hand-picked `/dev/dri/renderDN` is worse than useless on a hybrid host: **`renderD128` there is the NVIDIA card and `renderD129` the amdgpu iGPU**; resolve the node with `readlink -f /sys/class/drm/renderD*/device/driver` and pass `/dev/dri` wholesale, letting the driver pick by name.
+- A rootless container that drops its supplementary groups enumerates **nothing**. `--group-add keep-groups` (quadlet: `GroupAdd=keep-groups`) plus the host udev rule that makes the render nodes group-writable is the whole requirement; `--device /dev/dri` alone is not enough.
+
+## 3. Build-side deps: the configure fails before the device ever matters
+
+ggml's `src/ggml-vulkan/CMakeLists.txt` requires, in order: `find_package(Vulkan COMPONENTS glslc REQUIRED)` then `find_package(SPIRV-Headers CONFIG REQUIRED)`, and it compiles its shaders with **glslc**, never `glslangValidator`. On Ubuntu 24.04 (measured against the digest-pinned `ubuntu:24.04` base, 2026-10-19):
+
+- `glslang-tools` ships `glslangValidator` and **NOT `glslc`** → `command -v glslc` empty, `find_package(Vulkan … glslc REQUIRED)` fails, and the Vulkan backend silently never exists.
+- The package is the standalone **`glslc`** (universe, `2023.8-1build1`). Working build-stage set: `libvulkan-dev glslc spirv-headers` — `libvulkan-dev` provides `vulkan/vulkan.h` + the `VulkanHeaders`/`VulkanLoader` CMake configs `find_package(Vulkan)` resolves to, `spirv-headers` ships `/usr/share/cmake/SPIRV-Headers/SPIRV-HeadersConfig.cmake`. A configure probe in the pinned base prints `Found Vulkan: … found components: glslc` then `Including Vulkan backend`.
+- **The archive's glslc is old.** 2023.8 compiles `GL_KHR_cooperative_matrix` (the path ggml's vectored quantized matmul needs) but reports `cooperative_matrix2`, `integer_dot_product`, `bfloat16`, `float_e2m1/e4m3` as unsupported, so those shader families are compiled out. If a Vulkan prefill reads as inexplicably slow, suspect the **shader compiler before the device**; the fix is a pinned glslang build passed as `-DVulkan_GLSLC_EXECUTABLE=<path>`, not a different runtime.
+- Runtime stage needs the loader **and an ICD**: `libvulkan1` + `mesa-vulkan-drivers`. Loader-without-ICD enumerates zero devices, and ggml-based servers die in device lookup — often *after* reading the weights, so the journal reads like a model fault.
+- Ship **no NVIDIA ICD** on purpose: one Vulkan device in the enumeration is what makes the *name* `Vulkan0` safe to write into config. Prefer the name over an index in every flag.
+
+## 4. Prove enumeration without allocating anything
+
+Do not boot a scratch second engine beside production to ask which devices exist — a second model load is a real GPU tenant, and fleet law stops that. Instead run the binary with a device name that cannot exist and read its error; it names what it enumerated, with no allocation and no model resident:
+
+```bash
+podman run --rm --device /dev/dri --group-add keep-groups --entrypoint /app/tts-server <image> \
+  --model /dev/null --codec /dev/null --device NoSuchDevice 2>&1 | tail -20
+```
+
+## 5. The rollback must be a flag, not a rebuild
+
+Put the device in the env file as a value the entrypoint passes only when set, and make **set-but-empty** mean "pass no flag at all" — the binary's own default (CPU, always built) is the rollback. `: "${VAR:=default}"` is the WRONG form: `:=` fires on an empty value too, so the documented rollback line `VAR=` is silently rewritten back to the GPU and the only way out is a rebuild. Use:
+
+```bash
+if [[ ! -v QWENTTS_DEVICE ]]; then QWENTTS_DEVICE=Vulkan0; fi
+```
+
+(`podman`'s `--env-file` passes `VAR=` through as set-and-empty, and `source` does the same, so both readers agree.) Pin it in a test: empty device ⇒ the flag is absent from argv.
+
+## 6. Co-tenancy measurement (only after the tenant is live)
+
+The gate is the **first tenant's** performance with a real request from the second in flight — not the second tenant's own speed. And price the tenant from a booted footprint, never from weights+KV+buffers: on an APU the compute buffers and any projector ride on GTT, which is host RAM; check `free` after the load, not before.

+description: "Before committing docs in dank/command-center, lint the real omp-docs bundle directly — the bats suite only lints fixtures, so a green suite is not proof."
+---
+
+# The bundle lint gate (`dank/command-center`)
+
+Adding or editing pages under `omp-docs/`? `bats tests/` going green proves
+nothing about the pages you just wrote.
+
+## Why this exists
+
+`tests/kb-lint.bats` exercises `scripts/kb-lint.sh` against `mktemp -d` fixtures
+(`"conformant bundle passes"`, `"missing frontmatter is reported"`, …). For years
+nothing in the suite pointed the linter at the shipped tree, so a page with no
+frontmatter, an index that stopped listing a file, or a broken relative link
+committed under a green suite. (Two tests appended 2026-10-20 now run both
+checkers against `omp-docs/`; verify they are still present before assuming the
+suite covers it — `grep -n omp-docs tests/kb-lint.bats`.)
+
+The general law: **a lint suite that tests only the linter does not lint your
+content.** Check which one a suite runs before calling green a gate.
+
+## Gate a docs commit
+
+```bash
+cd <worktree>
+bats tests/ ; grep -E '^1\.\.' /tmp/…          # suite (count, failures)
+./scripts/kb-lint.sh omp-docs                  # want: kb-lint: 0 violation(s)
+python3 scripts/kb-coverage.py omp-docs        # want: index-coverage: 0 issue(s)
+```
+
+`kb-lint.sh <kb-dir>` (default `omp-docs`) = OKF v0.1 conformance **plus link
+integrity**, so it is the check that absolute bundle links like
+`/tools/gitea/client-access.md` resolve. `kb-coverage.py` = every page listed by
+its directory `index.md` (repo doctrine: nothing may appear in a directory its
+`index.md` does not list).
+
+OKF shape that passes: every concept page carries frontmatter with a `type`
+(`type: reference` + `title`/`description`/`tags`/`timestamp`/`verified`);
+`index.md` files carry **no** frontmatter; new pages get an entry in their
+directory index in the same commit, plus a dated entry in `omp-docs/log.md`
+(one entry = what changed + the durable lesson, a few lines, never a narrative).
+
+## Commit-message trap in this harness
+
+A multi-line message written as a heredoc inside a chained `bash` command
+(`git commit -q -F - <<'MSG' … && …`) fails with
+`pi-natives:command: syntax error at end of input`. Write the message to
+`/tmp/msg-<topic>.txt` with the write tool and `git commit -q -F /tmp/msg-<topic>.txt`.
+Keep the `&&` chain so a failed gate stops the commit — hooks (secret gate) stay armed,
+never `--no-verify`.
+
+## Land and reap
+
+Merge is form-encoded `do=merge&merge_style=no-ff` and answers `200` with an
+**empty body**; never read that as ambiguous — verify by landing. Then
+`git -C ~/.omp merge --ff-only origin/main` (the checkout *is* the deployment;
+dirty `agent/memories/`, `agent/config.yml`, `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` are machine-tier
+live state and do not block an ff whose diff misses them), fast-forward the
+session's `wt/*` scratch branch the same way, then `git worktree remove <build-wt>`
+and `git branch -d <type>/<issue>-<slug>` (`-d` succeeding is itself proof of
+merge).
+
+Stray files whose names start with `-` (e.g. `-c`, `-es` — vim takes a
+`--startuptime` flag name as the output filename) show as untracked dirt:
+`mv ./-c .AGENTTRASH/<date>-<meaning>.log`, never `rm`.

-Use when a new `*.franksdank.cloud` service resolves publicly/LAN-needs a local address, on Dankclaw (Pi-hole v6 container, quadlet `pihole.container`).
+# Dankclaw Pi-hole LAN DNS record

-## Ground truth layout (verified 2026-10-11)
+## What this fixes

- Quadlet: `~/.config/containers/systemd/pihole.container`; volumes `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/{etc-pihole,etc-dockers,addn-hosts}`.
- **LAN records live in `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list`** — plain hosts format: `192.168.0.143 gitea.franksdank.cloud`. This is the boring, working path.
- `pihole.toml` `[[dns.records]]` array is EMPTY on this host — do not expect v6 UI-style records there.
- `gravity.db` exists but has NO `domain` table (v6 layout) — do not insert local records into SQLite.
+A new `*.franksdank.cloud` service resolves publicly (via Porkbun → `franksdank.cloud` A record → Caddy on Dankclaw `192.168.0.143`) but **does not resolve on the LAN**. Pi-hole is the LAN DNS server (`dankclaw_default` bridge, published port 53) and serves local records only from files it imports.

-## Procedure (30 s, proven)
+## Live truth

-```bash
-ssh dankclaw 'echo "192.168.0.143 <name>.franksdank.cloud" | sudo tee -a /home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list >/dev/null \
- && podman exec pihole pihole restartdns'
-ssh dankclaw 'getent hosts <name>.franksdank.cloud'   # must resolve
-dig +short <name>.franksdank.cloud @192.168.0.143     # from any LAN box
+- **The repo owns the records.** `dankclaw/pihole/addn-hosts` (hosts-style lines: `192.168.0.143 <name>`) is copied by `deploy-remote.sh` to `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/addn-hosts` and bind-mounted **read-only** into the container at `/etc/pihole/hosts/addn-hosts` (`Volume=/home/dank/Containers/pihole/addn-hosts:/etc/pihole/hosts/addn-hosts:ro` in `dankclaw/pihole/quadlet/pihole.container`). Add the name there, in the repo, then deploy — that is the durable path. `tests/pihole.bats` validates every line (IPv4, LAN range, name suffix, Caddyfile cross-check).
+- `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list` also exists on the host (older mechanism, mode `640` owned by the container uid, root reads it with `sudo`). It is **not** the repo's owner file — do not hand-edit it as the fix.
+- `pihole.toml` carries a `dns.hosts = [ "192.168.0.143 …", … ]` array too (FTL's own in-config records). Both sources exist; if LAN names fail, neither is being applied.
+- Pi-hole runs as a rootless quadlet named `pihole` — query it with `podman exec pihole …`, never `sudo podman` (per-user storage law).
+- `pihole.franksdank.cloud` resolves through Pi-hole itself (loop/edge), so a vhost record pointing at `192.168.0.143` is correct for every Caddy-fronted service.
+
+## Procedure (repo-first)
+
+1. Append the line to `dankclaw/pihole/addn-hosts`:
+   ```
+   192.168.0.143 <name>.franksdank.cloud
+   ```
+   One record per vhost; keep it in sync with the Caddyfile (the bats seam cross-checks the two).
+2. `./tests/run.sh` (the `pihole` seam validates the file), commit, push.
+3. Deploy so the copy step runs: `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service pihole`.
+4. Verify from the box: `getent hosts <name>.franksdank.cloud` → `192.168.0.143`.
+5. Public edge record (optional; skip when every subscriber is LAN-only): Porkbun `POST /api/v3/json` with `apikey`/`secretapikey`/`command=add`/`type=A`/`hostname=<name>`/`data=76.49.118.136` (see `dankclaw-porkbun-edge`).
+
+Client-side proof (avoid the resolver trap):
+
+```
+sudo resolvectl flush-caches        # systemd-resolved otherwise keeps the negative cache
+curl -sv --max-time 5 https://<name>.franksdank.cloud 2>&1 | grep 'Connected to'
 ```

-Hosts files are read-only-readable only via sudo (dir owned by uid 100999). `sudo -n` works on dankclaw.
+Expected: `Connected to <name>.franksdank.cloud (192.168.0.143)` — LAN route, not the public IP.

-## API maze — DON'T re-explore
+## Triage: every LAN name broke at once (2026-10-19 law)

- FTL API base is `/api` at the web port (8083) **with `Host: pi.hole` header**; `/admin/api/*` → bad_request hint; bare 127.0.0.1 without the vhost → 404 `not_found`.
- Login: `POST /api/login {"password": <WEBPASSWORD from /home/dank/Containers/pihole/env>}` → session in `X-Cors` header/cookie.
- `POST /api/apps/domains/custom` → **404 on this build** (FTL version predates it); `/api/customdns/custom` also absent. There is no container sqlite3. Use custom.list.
+Signature: **all** `*.franksdank.cloud` return NXDOMAIN / Playwright `ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED` while **external names still resolve**. The external-OK/local-fail split is the tell: FTL is answering external names from cache and holds **no local records at all** after a container/host restart — the mounts and files are intact and readable inside the container (`ls -l /etc/pihole/hosts/`, `grep -c . …/addn-hosts`), `dns.hosts` in `pihole.toml` is complete. The mechanism is unestablished; do not go hunting for a lost file.

-## Public record (off-LAN reachability)
-
-Porkbun API, keys in `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/env` (`PORKBUN_API_KEY`, `PORKBUN_API_SECRET_KEY`):
-
-```bash
-curl -sL -X POST https://api.porkbun.com/api/json3/domain/api/create/franksdank.cloud \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d "{\"apikey\":\"$K\",\"secretapi\":\"$S\",\"name\":\"<name>\",\"type\":\"A\",\"content\":\"71.227.227.172\",\"ttl\":\"600\"}"
+```
+ssh dankclaw 'getent hosts grafana.franksdank.cloud'        # empty => FTL, not the client
+ssh dankclaw 'podman exec pihole pihole restartdns reload'   # fixes it in seconds
 ```

- `json3` path 302-redirects → **`-L` required**; no-`-s` to see status.
- Porkbun edge (openresty) intermittently 503s — transient; retry later, don't burn turns. Public record is OPTIONAL when LAN-only subscribers exist.
- Wildcard `*.franksdank.cloud` TLS is already covered: Caddy + Porkbun DNS-01 (caddy-porkbun image), so a new subdomain needs NO new cert work — just the Caddyfile site block + reload.
+Distinguish before acting: a **single** client failing while others work is FTL rate-limiting that client — `podman exec pihole grep Rate-limiting /var/log/pihole/FTL.log`; a `10.0.2.x` client address is a pasta container's DNS forwarder (SNAT), not a machine. Full causal page: `serverAppConfigs-docs/Infrastructure/Pi-hole.md` (**Records** pitfall + Failure modes table).

-## Client-side cache gotchas
+## Gotchas

- Workstation (systemd-resolved): negative cache survives Pi-hole changes; `sudo resolvectl flush-caches` needs a TTY (faillock-sensitive — no `-S` guessing). Non-interactive proof: `curl --resolve <name>.franksdank.cloud:443:192.168.0.143 https://<name>.franksdank.cloud/...`; cache self-expires (SOA negative TTL).
- Dankclaw/Dankserver resolve via Pi-hole directly — verify there first.
+- Do NOT insert local records into SQLite. v6's `gravity.db` `domain` table has NO `type=2` custom-DNS rows in this build.
+- `pihole restartdns reload` re-imports the hosts files **and** `dns.hosts`; that is the remedy for the boot-load failure above. Plain `pihole restartdns` also restarts the resolver — brief LAN-wide DNS blip.

+description: "Run dankvoice bats suites without hangs or false failures: serialize dist rebuilds, never edit src mid-run, and rebuild before committing the tracked bundle."

-# Dankvoice bats: serialization and hang-proofing
+Use when running the dankvoice `bats tests/` suite on the shared box, when a suite run hangs or times out, or when the "committed dist is byte-identical to a fresh build" pin test fails after a commit.

-## Serialize builds on the shared artifact
-`tests/behavior.bats` setup runs `bun run build` into the repo's shared `dist/index.js`
-before EVERY test (`DV_EXT="$REPO/dist/index.js"`). Any second concurrent bats run,
-`bun run build`, or `bun run typecheck` racing the same repo contends on that file and
-can stall single tests past 60 s. NEVER run two bats processes (or bats + build) against
-`~/Projects/dankvoice` at the same time — including harness background jobs. If a suite
-gets backgrounded, kill it before launching any other repo command; re-run serially.
+## The two serialization hazards

-## The stub player's units and traps
- `DV_HOLD` is in **seconds** (`sleep "${DV_HOLD:-0.1}"`), not ms. `DV_HOLD=1500`
-  means a 25-minute "hung" test. Use `DV_HOLD=2` for multi-second holds.
- The stub must sleep as `sleep "${DV_HOLD:-0.1}" &` + `wait $!`, with
-  `trap 'printf "KILLED\n" >> "$DV_STUB_LOG"; exit 143' TERM` installed **before** the
-  sleep: a foreground `sleep` defers the trap until the sleep finishes, so SIGTERM-kill
-  tests (shutdown/interrupt pins) stay red and every kill test eats the full hold.
- Keep the `cp *.wav "$DV_COPY"` loop when editing the stub — the byte-equality test
-  depends on it.
+### 1. `setup()` rebuilds `dist/` from `src/`
+Every test runs `cd "$REPO" && bun run build` in `setup()`. Consequences:

-## Timing-sensitive assertions
-The driver prints `PLAYS` from the stub log at scenario end (~800 ms settle), so with a
-long `DV_HOLD` in-flight playback is UNDERCOUNTED — assert `CALLS`/arrival timestamps,
-not tail `PLAYS`. The fixture stamps every request with `at=` (ms since driver start,
-comparable between CALL lines); prefetch overlap = `t2 - t1 < 1500` with `DV_HOLD=2`
-(sequential chain cannot answer inside 2000 ms).
+- **Never edit `src/` while a suite is running.** The next test's `setup()` compiles whatever is on disk at that instant, so an in-flight edit gets attributed to the run and produces a failure with no owner. Finish the gate, then write.
+- **Two suites on the same checkout race on `dist/`.** Serialize: run one, wait for its report, then start the next. Multiple worktrees of the repo each build their own `dist/` and do not collide.
+- Suite runtime is ~85 s for 55 tests; a backgrounded job with a 600 s deadline is the right shape (`timeout: 600`, `async: true`). Never poll it — `setup()` output lands in the conversation when the job ends.

-## Diagnosing a hung bats test (deterministic recipe)
-1. `timeout 45 bats -f "<name>" tests/behavior.bats; echo rc=$?` — rc=124 confirms hang.
-2. Launch the same test as a background job, then probe live:
-   `pgrep -af "driver.ts|bats"` and `ps afx | grep -E "sleep|stub"` — a `sleep <N>` child
-   with N seconds in the stub log names the culprit (usually DV_HOLD misuse).
-3. Detached `(cmd &)` inside a temp shell is KILLED when the shell exits — use the
-   harness background jobs for anything you must probe.
-4. Direct driver repro: extract the heredoc with
-   `sed -n '/cat > "$WORK\/driver.ts" <<.TS./,/^TS$/p' tests/behavior.bats | sed '1d;$d' > $W/driver.ts`,
-   build a fresh ext, then run `bun $W/driver.ts <scenario>` with the env the setup block
-   exports. Caveat: hand-made fixture env can yield different segment counts than bats —
-   trust in-bats numbers for assertions.
+### 2. `dist/` is tracked, and a pin test enforces it
+One test rebuilds and compares against the committed bundle. Therefore the commit order is:
+
+```bash
+bun run build          # BEFORE staging
+git add -A && git commit -m '…'
+bats tests/            # gate AFTER the commit
+```
+
+Committing `src/` changes without rebuilding first fails the pin test (`not ok … byte-identical to a fresh build`) — the tracked bundle is the *previous* state. If that happens on an unpushed branch, fix it by amend rather than a follow-up commit:
+
+```bash
+bun run build && git add dist && git commit --amend --no-edit
+```
+
+Verify freshness any time the pin is in doubt:
+
+```bash
+bun run build >/dev/null 2>&1 && git status --porcelain dist   # empty = committed == fresh build
+```
+
+## If a backgrounded gate job vanishes
+A crash can kill the job before its report; `read proc://bg_N` returning "not found" means it is gone, not that it failed. Reconstruct what landed before resuming — `git log --oneline -3`, `git status --porcelain`, then the freshness check above — and rerun the suite; the commit may well have succeeded while the gate never ran.
+
+## Gotchas
+- `DV_HOLD` is seconds (`sleep "${DV_HOLD:-0.1}"`), so `DV_HOLD=3` really holds the stub for three seconds.
+- Isolation tests must not count shared state: any assertion that sweeps `$TMPDIR` or `~/.omp/cache` observes every other live session on the box (each narrating session creates `dankvoice-*` scratch dirs). Point `TMPDIR` at a private directory instead — see the `cutting off mid-utterance leaves no orphaned audio behind` test.
+- `bun run build` does not typecheck. Run `bunx tsc --noEmit` separately when moving code between modules; the bundler happily emits a bundle that references a deleted identifier.

+
+Prove a new `tests/behavior.bats` assertion is **red-capable** — that it fails against the *previous* build, not just passes against the new one — without stashing, branching, or editing `src/`.

+## Why

+
+## Traps, each one cost a turn
+
+- **The scratch directory must be pinned by name.** `ls -dt /tmp/tmp.*` picks up *other sessions'* temp dirs, and then `player.sh` and `driver.ts` live in different directories — the run silently does the wrong thing.
+- **The stub must append to `$DV_STUB_LOG`.** The driver counts player invocations from that file; a stub that only `sleep`s reports `PLAYS 0` for *both* bundles and the whole proof reads as "fix does nothing".
+- **`DV_EXT` is required.** Missing it yields `Cannot find package 'undefined'` from the driver, which looks like a broken driver, not a missing env var.
+- **`DV_SETTINGS_JSON` supports `__PORT__`** (the driver substitutes the fixture port), so a preseed can name a prefixed route — needed whenever the test is about *which* endpoint got resolved.
+- **Never run this while a `bats` run is in flight** in the same repo: `setup()` runs `bun run build`, so two runs clobber `dist/` and the pin test.
+
+## Reading the result
+
+Red side must show the *defect* (`PLAYS 0`, `644`, a chat `CALL` with the wrong prefix, `Invalid URL`), green side the fix — assert on printed markers only (`PLAYS`, `CALLS`, `CALL <url>`, `NOTIFY`, `SETTINGS`). `CALLS` counts `/audio/speech` calls only; the rewrite call appears as its own `CALL /…/chat/completions … sys=<full system prompt>` line, which is how prompt-level knobs (verbosity, heckle) are observed.
+
+Prefer this over a synthetic leak: if the check already caught a real leftover/failure once, that event *is* the sensitivity proof — say so in the commit message instead of faking one.

+description: "Add a persisted /say knob to dankvoice and test its menu row through the bats driver (DV_SELECT picks, INPUT stub, dist-pin rebuild gate)."
+---
+
+Adding a setting to `dankvoice` (`~/Projects/dankvoice`, omp speech extension) means five touchpoints plus one behavioral test. Skip one and TypeScript or a silent drop catches it; skip the test and the row ships dead.
+
+## The five touchpoints (order matters)
+
+1. `src/settings.ts` — field on `Settings` (optional) **and** a type-guarded line in `readSettings`. A field without a guard line is written to disk and never read back; tsc stays clean, so nothing else catches it.
+2. `src/config.ts` — `Config` field (required, defaulted), resolution line, entry in the returned object, and the knob documented in the file header comment (that header is the README's pointer for "full knob list").
+   - Convention: explicit env wins over settings (`env.X === "1" ? true : env.X === "0" ? false : (settings.x ?? false)`); booleans use `1`/`0`, enumerations use the literal value.
+3. `src/index.ts` — `persistSettings()` key list (a knob missing there never survives the session) **and** the getter in the `new Speaker({...})` deps object.
+4. `src/utterance.ts` — getter on `SpeakerSettings` if the Speaker reads it at speak time.
+5. `src/menu.ts` — the row. Rows carry their own `run`; never dispatch on `choice === options[N]`.
+
+Gate at the call site, not the prompt, when a mode must not apply to operator-typed text: `Speaker.speak(ctx, text, thinking, auto)` — `auto=true` only from `message_end`/`agent_end`; `/say <text>` passes nothing. Prompt-only gating leaks.
+
+## Test the row behaviorally, never as a config assertion
+
+`tests/behavior.bats` drives the built `dist/index.js` against a mock harness. Selects and typed text both come from one pipe-separated queue: `DV_SELECT="row label|sub choice|typed text"`, consumed in call order; a consumed-exhausted `select` returns `options[0]`, so always name the row by its **rendered label** (`"Verbosity: normal (change)"`, `"Intro: none (change)"`).
+

+- **Two `bats` runs at once corrupt each other**: `setup()` runs `bun run build`, so a concurrent run rebuilds `dist/` mid-suite and the byte-identical pin test fails spuriously. Serialize.
+- **Edit `src/` → rebuild before commit**: the pin test compares committed `dist/` to a fresh build. Sequence is `bun run build && bunx tsc --noEmit && bats -f <pattern>`, then `git add -A` (dist included). A failure there is normally a stale bundle, not a bad assertion.
+- `VAR=value some_function args` in bats does reach the child process, so knob tests need no `export`.
+- `edit` tool: inserting after a line whose content you know but that the current tag never displayed gets refused — the refusal echoes the real line; if it matches intent, re-issue the identical edit instead of re-reading.
+- Ship: branch `feat/<issue#>-<slug>` off fresh `origin/main`, one commit per knob, PR targets `main`, merge only on Frank's explicit OK (`do=merge`, `merge_style=no-ff`), then `omp plugin upgrade dankvoice` and `cmp` installed `dist/index.js` against the merged one.

+description: "Triage silent or late dankvoice auto-speak on the fleet: arming key, /say grammar, endpoint/sink, event granularity, humanizer latency, plus the black-box bats driver."
+---
+
+# Triage "dankvoice is silent" on the fleet
+
+Symptom that recurs: auto-speak only speaks when `/say <text>` is typed
+explicitly. Work the gates in this order; each has an objective check.
+
+1. **Armed?** `cat ~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json | jq .auto` — must be `true`
+   (or `DANKVOICE_AUTO=1`). Arming is read at **startup only** and `/say on`
+   never persists, so a session started before the key was added is silent even
+   though fresh sessions work. `/say start` is *not* a subcommand: unknown
+   arguments are spoken verbatim (it read out the word "start"). `/say on` is
+   the verb; `/say status` must print `auto-speak on`.
+2. **Endpoint + sink?** `/say status` must show a real endpoint (not
+   `NO ENDPOINT`) and the saved sink must exist:
+   `pw-dump | grep -o 'alsa_output\.[^"]*' | sort -u`.
+3. **Did it synthesize?** `pgrep -a pw-play` during a turn: one process per
+   segment, `--target <sink>`, wav under `/tmp/dankvoice-*/say-<epochms>.wav`.
+   One temp **directory per utterance chain** — count dirs to count utterances,
+   pids to count segments.
+4. **Event granularity (the structural cause).** `agent_end` fires once per
+   *prompt* when the loop settles and is skipped when the harness maps a
+   non-terminal settle (`willContinue`) — long runs with background jobs or
+   subagents therefore narrate nothing. Mid-run narration needs `turn_end`
+   (fires per assistant message + tool results). Verify delivery, don't infer
+   it: skill `omp-extension-event-probe`.
+5. **Latency is not silence.** Narration passes through the humanizer
+   (frank-zealot) before synthesis, so an utterance lands several seconds after
+   its turn; under endpoint load that stretches to tens of seconds.
+   `/say humanize off` = mechanical voice, near-instant. Judge cadence from
+   probe-log timestamps, never from when audio starts.
+
+## Design rules the plugin now encodes (dank/dankvoice#2→#3)
+
+- Narrate `turn_end` per turn **plus** `agent_end` for the settled answer;
+  dedupe identical text per run (reset on `agent_start`) so the answer speaks once.
+- A turn landing while the player is alive is **dropped** — no queue, no
+  interrupting; a tool loop would cut every sentence off after a word.
+  Busy test: `state.child !== undefined && state.child.exitCode === null`.
+- Tool-only turns (no prose, no narration-flagged thinking) stay silent.
+- `print`/`json` modes stay silent, so benches never chatter.
+- Settings writes must **round-trip the file** (`{...onDisk, ...owned keys}`).
+  Rebuilding from owned keys deleted `"auto"` on any menu choice and silently
+  un-armed every later session — the classic cause of "it worked yesterday".
+
+## Black-box test harness (repo `dank/dankvoice`)
+
+`tests/behavior.bats` drives the built artifact through an in-process driver:
+`const say = DV_EXT(ctx, cfg)[0]`, handlers via `const events = new Map();
+const pi = { on: (n,h)=>events.set(n,h) }`, then `events.get("turn_end")?.({
+turnIndex:0, message:{role:"assistant",content:[{type:"text",text:"…"}]},
+toolResults:[]}, ctx)`. Assert on `CALL`/`PLAYS`/`NOTIFY` lines and
+`SETTINGS <file contents>`; stubs are `DV_PLAYER_CMD` (logs voice+input, honours
+`DV_HOLD`) and `DV_REWRITE_URL` (404 → falls back to mechanical text). `setup()`
+runs `bun run build` per test → serialize suites on the shared `dist/`.
+`tests/packaging.bats` requires `dist/` **committed** (compares to HEAD), so
+build → commit → the drift pin goes green.

+name: fixture-delay-window-race-test
+description: Pin a race/abort bug in a fixture-server test by delaying only the Nth request so the interruption lands inside the in-flight window; assert via a driver-installed unhandledRejection reporter.
+---
+
+# Reproducing a timing-window bug against a fixture server
+
+Use when a defect only appears in a window — a promise created before it is awaited, a kill/abort landing mid-flight, a prefetch interrupted — and a fixture HTTP server answers instantly, so the window never opens. Earned in `dankvoice` issue #7 (`[Unhandled Rejection] AbortError` from `/say stop` during a pipelined synthesis).
+
+## Why naive attempts pass vacuously
+
+1. **Uniform delay on the fixture route** (`DV_LATENCY_MS` for every request) makes *all* requests resolve at the same time, so by the time the interruption fires nothing is in flight. The test goes green against the broken code — worse than no test.
+2. Asserting on a log line count that also counts interruption noise: `dankvoice`'s driver prints `PLAYS <n>` as the number of **player log lines**, and the stub appends `KILLED` on SIGTERM — so a single playback with one interrupt reports `PLAYS 2`. Count the payload lines instead (`grep -c 'PLAYER .*\.wav$'`).
+
+## The shape that works
+
+- **Delay only requests after the first.** The first response gets the pipeline into playback; the second stays in flight, which is the window:
+  ```ts
+  const spoken = received.filter((c) => c.url?.endsWith("/audio/speech")).length; // already pushed
+  const delay = spoken > 1 ? Number(process.env.DV_SYNTH_MS ?? 0) : 0;
+  if (delay > 0) setTimeout(answer, delay); else answer();
+  ```
+- **Make the interruption land inside it.** Player holds long (`DV_HOLD=2`), interruption at a fixed offset (`DV_STOP_AT=400`) with the delayed response far later (`DV_SYNTH_MS=1200`): margins wide enough that the abort is neither before the request nor after the response.
+- **Turn unhandled rejections into observable output** in the test driver instead of letting the runtime crash on them — that is also exactly what the real harness does to the user:
+  ```ts
+  process.on("unhandledRejection", (reason) => {
+    console.log(`UNHANDLED ${reason instanceof Error ? `${reason.name}: ${reason.message}` : String(reason)}`);
+  });
+  ```
+  Then assert `[[ "$output" != *"UNHANDLED"* ]]` plus the concrete behavior (segments actually played, player killed).
+- **Leak checks measure a delta, not an absolute:** count `dankvoice-*` temp dirs before and after the run and compare; an absolute `== 0` fails on another test's leftovers.
+
+## Order
+
+Write the scenario first and watch it fail **on the rejection assertion specifically** — if it fails on some other assertion (a count, a kill line), the window is wrong, not the bug. Then fix, then confirm red→green on that one assertion before running the full suite.

+---
+
+# Fleet status report (Dankclaw + Dankserver)
+
+Use for "what's the state of the fleet", "what happened yesterday", or a post-incident sweep. Read-only.
+For one service's live state, prefer `fleet-service-runtime-census`; this is the fleet-wide sweep.
+
+## 1. The day's record (repo is the ledger)
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin --quiet
+git log --no-merges --since="YYYY-MM-DD 00:00" --until="YYYY-MM-DD+1 00:00" \
+        --date=format:'%H:%M' --pretty='%ad %h %s' origin/main
+git log --merges  --since=... --pretty='%ad %h %s' --date=format:'%H:%M' origin/main   # PR numbers
+```
+Merge lines carry the PR number — that is the review trail; the non-merge log is what actually changed.
+Group commits into streams (endpoint names lead the subject) rather than listing 20 subjects.
+
+## 2. Live census (parallel: one call per host + one endpoint sweep)
+
+Endpoint sweep from any LAN box — `/health` is honest on all four (archon binds only after full load):
+
+```bash
+for u in 192.168.0.143:7770 192.168.0.143:7771 192.168.0.235:7770 192.168.0.143:7772; do

+```
+
+Per host: `uptime -s; uptime -p`; `systemctl show <llm units> -p ActiveEnterTimestamp -p NRestarts -p DropInPaths`
+(`sudo` for the root LLM units, `--user` for the quadlets); `list-units --failed`; `free -h`;
+`journalctl -k --since "<evening>" -p err`; the host's own engine log tail.
+
+## 3. Attribution rules (where reports go wrong)
+
+- **Never call a host reboot from a container's start timestamp.** Check `uptime -s` first; if uptime spans the
+  event, the trigger was a **container restart** — find it with
+  `journalctl --user -u <name>.service --since … --until …` + `podman inspect <c> --format '{{.State.StartedAt}}'`.
+  (This exact mistake mislabelled a 2026-10-19 Pi-hole incident as boot-caused; the law's remedy belongs after
+  *any* restart, which is a different action item.)
+- `podman stats` is a 28-container wall — sort/limit it; RSS of the LLM tenants is what matters.
+- This podman's inspect template has **no `.Config.PodName`, no `.Config.GroupAdd`, and `.HostConfig.Devices`
+  can read `[]` even when a quadlet `AddDevice=` worked**. Prove GPU use from the engine's own log
+  (`ggml_vulkan: Found 1 Vulkan devices: … Radeon 8060S (RADV GFX1151)`), not from inspect.
+- Kernel lines: **count** occurrences (`journalctl -k --since '7 days' | grep -c "NETDEV WATCHDOG"`) before
+  calling a one-off a trend.
+- Failed units: `systemctl show <u> -p ExecMainExitTimestamp -p ExecMainStatus --value` separates
+  "broken since boot" from "broke yesterday" — and a nightly failure (e.g. logrotate) is a live risk, not noise.
+
+## 4. Report shape
+
+Stream table (what landed) → live-state table (what is true now) → **corrections to my own earlier record** →
+open items that need Frank's decision, each with the evidence line and the one action. Flag anything that would
+touch host config outside the repo as a decision, never a silent fix.

+---
+
+# franksign fresh-worktree DB credential trap
+
+## Symptom
+`tests/run.sh` in a fresh franksign worktree fails seam 5 ("e2e server did not
+become healthy") while the server log says `franksign-api listening on :3100`.
+Manual probe shows the server IS up:
+
+```bash
+PORT=3100 node --env-file=.env apps/api/dist/cli.js >/tmp/manual-e2e.log 2>&1 &
+sleep 2; curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3100/health
+# -> 503 {"status":"degraded","db":"down",...}
+```
+
+Not a regression, not a :3100 port collision (check `ss -tlnp | grep 3100` to rule that out).
+
+## Root cause
+`infra/setup-dev.sh` mints a fresh `POSTGRES_PASSWORD` per checkout
+(`if [ ! -f infra/postgres.env ]`), but `franksign-db` + `franksign-pgdata`
+are shared box state owned by the main checkout
+(`~/Projects/franksign`). The new worktree's `.env` DATABASE_URL then fails
+TCP auth against the initialized volume.
+
+The setup script masks it: its readiness gate is
+`podman exec franksign-db pg_isready`, which uses the in-container local
+socket and passes regardless of password — so setup prints "postgres ready"
+while the checkout is dead on arrival.
+
+## Fix (git-ignored files, no commit needed)
+Copy the shared credentials from the owning checkout:
+
+```bash
+grep DATABASE_URL /home/blank/Projects/franksign/.env   # source of truth
+# PUT that exact DATABASE_URL line into this worktree's .env
+# PUT the matching POSTGRES_PASSWORD into this worktree's infra/postgres.env
+```
+
+Gotcha: the shared password may contain literal `$$`. Keep it byte-for-byte —
+systemd `EnvironmentFile` and `node --env-file` both read values literally,
+so `$$` in the file IS `$$` in the password. No escaping, no de-escaping.
+
+## Verify
+```bash
+PORT=3100 node --env-file=.env apps/api/dist/cli.js &  # then
+curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:3100/health   # -> {"status":"ok","db":"up"}
+tests/run.sh                             # 14/14
+```
+
+## Permanent fix (proposed, not yet landed)
+`setup-dev.sh` should reuse `~/.config/containers/systemd/postgres.env`
+(symlink to the owning checkout) when present instead of minting new creds.

+---
+
+# GGUF LoRA / adapter fit census (read-only, before you promise a file to a payload)
+
+A 3 MB adapter is a payload change: it edits the compute graph at load. Do the census
+before editing an endpoint's trio, and prove the EFFECT behaviourally — no metadata,
+card table, or health gate can see it.
+
+## 1. Census the Hub repo first (no auth for public repos)
+
+```bash
+curl -sS "https://huggingface.co/api/models/<org>/<repo>?blobs=true" | python3 -c "
+import json,sys; d=json.load(sys.stdin)
+print(d.get('pipeline_tag'), d.get('library_name'))
+print([t for t in d.get('tags',[])][:20])          # base_model / base_model:adapter rows matter
+for s in d['siblings']: print(s['rfilename'], s.get('size'), (s.get('lfs') or {}).get('oid'))"
+curl -sS "https://huggingface.co/<org>/<repo>/raw/main/README.md" > /tmp/card.md   # grep for --lora flags
+```
+
+- `base_model` / `base_model_relation: adapter` name the pack the adapter was built for.
+- **A file with `lfs.oid = None` is a plain git object**: pin the sha256 of the Hub's bytes,
+  not an LFS oid. Fetcher law still applies: `curl -fsSL --fail-with-body`, byte count,
+  sha256, `--verify-only`, no resume.
+
+## 2. Read the adapter's own GGUF KV section (settles provenance in one read)
+
+Small python read of the KV pairs — no torch, no download beyond the adapter itself:
+magic `GGUF`, `u32 ver`, `u64 n_tensors`, `u64 n_kv`; key = `u64 len` + bytes; type `u32`
+(0 u8,1 i8,2 u16,3 i16,4 u32,5 i32,6 f32,7 bool,8 str,9 array,10 u64,11 i64,12 f64);
+array = `u32 elem_type` + `u64 count`.
+
+Keys worth printing: `general.type` (`adapter`), `adapter.type` (`lora`),
+`adapter.lora_alpha`, and whatever provenance the publisher wrote — e.g. PrismML/abliteration
+packs carry `prism.abliterate.base_gguf`, `base_sha256`, `direction_row`, `target_layers`,
+`target_embedding`, `sites`, `basis`.
+
+**Provenance is metadata, not a gate.** The loader matches **tensor names, not hashes**, so an
+adapter fit against a sibling quantization of the same model still applies — which is a
+decision to surface to the operator, not a failure to hide. Compare `base_sha256` against the
+sha the endpoint's own fetcher pins; if they differ, say so in the PR body, the env header and
+the endpoint page, and prove the effect behaviourally instead.
+
+Two publisher facts that decide whether a fork can carry the file at all: the build it was
+verified on, and what it deliberately does NOT touch (an embedding rank is the usual crash —
+`token_embd` left alone is a graph constraint, not an omission).
+
+## 3. Ask the runtime binary, not your memory
+
+```bash
+<llama-server> --help | grep -iE "lora|adapter"
+```
+Expect `--lora FNAME`, `--lora-scaled FNAME:SCALE,...`, `--lora-init-without-apply`
+(+ `POST /lora-adapters` for runtime scale). Prefer `--lora-scaled <file>:<scale>` as ONE
+argv token so a scale can never reach the engine without its file, and follow the endpoint's
+existing opt-out convention (the `MMPROJ_FILE=` shape: `:`-less default so an explicitly empty
+value means "off, on purpose"). Gate the deployer on the file's existence with the adapter's
+OWN fetcher named in the error text.
+
+## 4. Prove the effect: refusal/behaviour probe, before AND after
+
+The probe is not a bench, so the no-bench law does not block it — and the **before** half must
+be captured while the old shape is still live.
+
+- Same prompts, `temperature` low, both before and after; classify with a refusal-marker regex
+  and print only the opening characters, never the generated body.
+- **Budget ≥ 2 048 tokens on a thinking model.** A 600-token request can be swallowed whole by
+  the reasoning channel: `content` comes back empty with `finish_reason: length` and
+  `reasoning_content` full — which reads exactly like a refusal that never happened.
+- A leading `⚠️ Disclaimer`/hedge after the adapter is style, not the circuit: judge the marker
+  sentence, not the tone.
+
+## 5. Post-deploy reads (the ledger is the instrument)
+
+- Boot log shows `llama_adapter_lora_init_impl: loading lora adapter from '<file>'` and then
+  **dumps the adapter's KV block** — the provenance mismatch is printed at every start, so the
+  runbook should point at the journal instead of restating it.
+- Confirm the flag on argv: `tr '\0' ' ' < /proc/$(systemctl show <svc> -p MainPID --value)/cmdline`;
+  confirm `systemctl show <svc> -p DropInPaths --value` is empty (a leftover bench drop-in outranks
+  everything you just deployed).
+- Shape must be untouched by an adapter: `n_slots` / `n_ctx_slot` / KV lines unchanged, and
+  `/metrics` still answering (a llama.cpp endpoint is invisible to Prometheus without `--metrics`).
+- Root units log to the journal; rootless podman storage is read WITHOUT sudo (`sudo podman
+  inspect` sees a different storage namespace and reports "no such object").
+
+## Yields
+
+One sentence per question: does the file exist and at what size/sha; which pack it declares as
+its base and whether that matches the served payload; which flag the runtime actually offers;
+what the before/after probe classified. Anything else is a decision for the operator, and the
+rollback should be one env line on a file the endpoint already loads.

+**The field name is lowercase `do`.** `--data-urlencode 'Do=merge'` (capital D, which the error message spells) returns the same `422 [Do]: Required`. Do not retry with case variants — the web-UI form field is `do`.

 Working call (form-encoded):

 ```bash

+  http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/<repo>/pulls/<N>/merge
 # 200 with an empty body == merged
 ```

- `do=merge` is the field the 422 was demanding (the web-UI form field name, not an API doc field).
 - `merge_style` values are the dashed names: `no-ff`, `merge`, `rebase`, `squash`.
 - Keep the token out of argv: `-K <(printf …)` feeds the `Authorization` header through stdin (a `-H "Authorization: token …"` lands in `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, world-readable — the 2026-09-16 HF-token leak class).
 - Verify by fast-forwarding a checkout (`git fetch && git merge --ff-only origin/main`) rather than re-reading the PR.
 - Fleet law still applies: never merge without an explicit current OK from Frank, and open the PR URL in his browser (`xdg-open`) the moment it exists.
+
+## 2. `405 {"message":"Please try again later"}` = the branch is behind main
+
+A correctly formed merge call returns **405**, not 422, when Gitea cannot test-merge the head into the base. Read it as "merge main forward", not "retry later" — no sleep-retry ever clears it.
+
+Confirm first: `GET /pulls/{n}` shows `"mergeable": false` (and `merged: false`, `state: open`) for exactly this state.
+
+The fix is the repo's own trunk-based law — merge forward, never rebase:
+
+```bash
+git worktree add ../wt-prN -B prN <head-branch>
+cd ../wt-prN && git merge --no-edit origin/main      # resolve, see below
+./tests/run.sh                                       # the seam is the arbiter, run it on the RESOLVED tree
+git push -q origin prN:refs/heads/<head-branch>      # same branch name; Gitea reuses the open PR
+# then re-POST the merge — 200 this time
+```
+
+Notes earned on PR #27 (2026-10-19):
+
+- A `git worktree` per PR keeps the deployed checkout untouched; clean up with `git worktree remove --force ../wt-prN && git branch -D prN`.
+- `git status --short` during a merge lists every incoming file as staged — that is the merge commit's content, not a dirty tree.
+- Push a local branch to the PR's branch name with an explicit refspec (`prN:refs/heads/docs/…`); the push output prints `Visit the existing pull request`, which is how you confirm you hit the right head.
+- Gitea needs a few seconds after the push to recompute mergeability; a `sleep 3` before re-POSTing avoids a second 405.
+
+## 3. Resolving vault conflicts against a compaction wave
+
+When main has run a docs compaction (page deletions, description shortening), two conflict shapes recur:
+
+- **`description:`** — `scripts/check-okf.py` enforces **DESC: ≤ 120 chars**. A branch's longer description must be shortened, not argued for; keep main's shape and fold the new topic into the wording.
+- **A `[[Page]]` link whose target page main destroyed** — `git ls-tree -r --name-only origin/main -- serverAppConfigs-docs | grep -i '<page>'` settles it. Drop the dead link; do not resurrect a page. Compaction left link-stripped stub bullets behind (`-  the compile fix for …`, dash + two spaces): `git grep -nE '^-  [A-Z]' origin/main -- 'serverAppConfigs-docs/**/*.md'` counts them, and the seam cannot see them because a stub is no longer a link to validate.
+
+After any frontmatter change, regenerate: `./scripts/gen-vault-index.py serverAppConfigs-docs` and commit the index rows — the `vault indices are generated, not hand-carried` seam diffs regeneration against the checkout. The sub-index sync can emit one extra space after `|` for a quoted description; commit what the generator emits, since the seam compares against the generator.
+
+## Credential-store token extraction (same file, adjacent trap)
+
+`~/.config/secrets/gitea` holds one line shaped `http://user:token@192.168.0.143:3000`. Splitting it with `awk -F'/'` puts the host in `$3`, not `$2`, and `awk -F'/' '{print $NF}'` yields the host+path, not the token — an empty/garbage token makes **private repos answer `404 not found`** (Gitea hides them from anonymous), which reads like a wrong URL rather than an auth failure. Extract with:
+
+```bash
+tok=$(sed -n 's|^https\{0,1\}://[^:]*:\([^@]*\)@192\.168\.0\.143.*$|\1|p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)
+echo "token length: ${#tok}"   # 40 — print the length, never the value
+```
+
+Other API quirks measured the same day:
+
+- `GET /pulls?state=open` can return an error object where `state=all` returns the list; `state=all` list entries may omit `head`/`base` — fetch `/pulls/{n}` for those.
+- POST `/pulls` for a head/base pair that already has a PR → `409` naming `issue_id: N`; the PR number is that `issue_id`, so PATCH it instead of POSTing again.
+- Issues and PRs share the issue index per repo, so `#36`-style numbers are repo-scoped: a footer fix aimed at `dank/command-center#36` 404s when pointed at `dank/dankvoice`.

-# Gitea PR/issue cycle — dank/command-center
+# Gitea PR/issue cycle — Dankclaw API

-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.
+Friction-earned 2026-10-18 (PRs #15–#20, issue #18) and re-earned 2026-10-19 on `dank/dankvoice` PRs #4–#6: the merge payload claim below was wrong, and an empty token masqueraded as a missing repo.

 ## 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 "$cfg"` when done.
- Unauthenticated GET works for state reads (`GET /pulls/N` → `jq -c '{state,merged,merge_commit_sha}'`).
+- API base: `http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/<repo>/{pulls,issues}` — repo varies (`command-center`, `dankvoice`, `serverAppConfigs`); numbering is per-repo, so a footer citing `#36` means nothing without the repo.
+- Token: never inline, never in argv (`-H "Authorization: token …"` lands in `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, world-readable). Extract into a 600-perm curl config and hand it to curl with `-K`:
+  ```bash
+  tok=$(sed -nE 's#^https?://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)
+  [ "${#tok}" -ge 40 ] || { echo "token extraction failed"; exit 1; }
+  cfg=$(mktemp); chmod 600 "$cfg"; printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"
+  curl -sS -K "$cfg" … ; shred -u "$cfg"
+  ```
+- **Empty token answers `404 {"message":"not found"}`, NOT 401** — Gitea hides the private repo. A 404 on a path you have used before means auth, not a typo'd repo. The trap that produces the empty token: `awk -F'/' … '{print $NF}'` on the store line (`scheme://user:token@host/`) — the host is in `$3`, the match never fires, you get a silent empty variable. Always assert the length before POSTing.
+- Multi-line bodies: build JSON in python (`json.dumps({"title":…, "body":open(f).read(),…})`) or `jq -n --arg b "$(cat b.txt)"`. NEVER pass `---` as a bare jq argument (parsed as a flag). Escaped quotes inside `python3 -c '…'` break on `\"` — write the script to a file or use a heredoc.
+- Always capture status: `-o r.json -w '%{http_code}'`; a bare `-o` hides failures.

-## 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).
+## Create
+`POST /pulls` with `{title, body, base:"main", head:<branch>}` — JSON is accepted here (unlike merge).
+- **409 `pull request already exists for these targets [issue_id: N, …]`** — a PR for that head/base exists already. Common cause: the push message printed `/pulls/new/<branch>` and someone (Frank, or an `xdg-open` you ran) clicked Create. `GET /pulls?state=all`, find it, then `PATCH /pulls/N` with your title+body instead of re-posting.
+- `GET /pulls?state=all` on this Gitea omits `head`/`base` per entry — read `/pulls/N` for those, or key off `number`/`user`.
+- Issues: same shape, `POST /issues` `{title, body}`; `PATCH /issues/N` fixes a body retroactively (works for PRs too, since a PR is an issue).

-## 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`).
+## Merge (the 422 trap) — corrected
+`POST /pulls/N/merge` needs **form-encoded** fields; the merge form field name is lowercase **`do`**:

-## 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.
+```bash
+curl -sS -X POST -K "$cfg" \
+  --data-urlencode 'do=merge' --data-urlencode 'merge_style=no-ff' \
+  http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/<repo>/pulls/N/merge
+```
+
+JSON `{"Do":"merge"}` (what this skill used to claim) and header variants all return `422 {"message":"[Do]: Required"}`. `merge_style` ∈ `no-ff|merge|rebase|squash`. Success returns **200 with an empty body**; verify by landing a checkout rather than re-reading the PR. Merge only with Frank's explicit per-PR OK.
+
+## Post-merge landing
+- Command-center: the checkout IS the deployment — `git -C ~/.omp fetch -q origin && git -C ~/.omp merge --ff-only origin/main`.
+- Package repos (`~/Projects/<pkg>`): same `--ff-only`, then reinstall (`omp plugin upgrade <name>`) and `cmp` the installed `dist/index.js` against the repo `dist/index.js` to prove the live artifact is the merged one. Check `ls -ld node_modules` after landing anything that touched it.
+- **`omp plugin upgrade` takes the npm package name, not the short name.** `omp plugin upgrade dankvoice` fails with `Failed to upgrade dankvoice: dankvoice is not installed` while the plugin is plainly installed; the package is `omp-dankvoice`. Find the truth with `ls ~/.omp/plugins/node_modules` or `find ~/.omp -path '*<name>/dist/index.js' -not -path '*/Projects/*'` — the installed tree is unscoped (`~/.omp/plugins/node_modules/omp-dankvoice/dist/index.js`), not `@dank/dankvoice`.
+- **`cmp` exiting 1 BEFORE the upgrade is the expected state** (installed bundle is the pre-merge build, diff reported at some char/line). Do not treat it as a failed deploy and do not "fix" the build; run the upgrade, then `cmp` again for byte identity, and grep the new bundle for a string only the merged code contains (e.g. `grep -c "Heckle instead of summarizing"`) as a second, semantic confirmation.
+- Prune: `git worktree remove --force <path>` (force: untracked deps link), `git branch -D`, `git push origin --delete <branch>` (allowed: local Gitea).
+
+## Attribution footer (AGENTS.md)
+Every issue/PR body ends with `---`, then `cwd: <session cwd> · session: <session id>`. Read the real values, never invent an id.
+- **The session id is the UUID suffix of the LIVE transcript `.jsonl`, not the session directory name.** Transcript dirs are keyed by cwd (e.g. `-.omp-wt-wt-20261019-020309-6d1fc1f`) and ONE cwd can hold several sessions (resume / continuation forks), so `ls -t ~/.omp/agent/sessions/` cannot tell you which is yours and `ls -t <dir>` is equally blind. Pick the file being appended to right now: `ls -l --time-style=+%H:%M:%S <dir>/*.jsonl` beside `date +%H:%M:%S` — the mtime that equals the current second is the live session. The id is the part after `_` in `<timestamp>_<uuid>.jsonl`.
+- A `history.db` query for `session_id` filtered by `cwd` usually agrees, but it is not authoritative for WHICH of several sessions in that cwd is live — use the jsonl mtime test.
+- `local/` does NOT disambiguate: a forked transcript dir carries copies of the same `local://` artifacts, so matching artifact names proves nothing about which session is live.
+- `cwd` is that session's own working directory (the path the harness states), **not** the build worktree you committed in — when they differ, name the build worktree inside the body and keep `cwd` the session's.
+- Resolve `local://<name>.md` with `read local://<name>.md` (its header prints the absolute path) instead of guessing the directory.

+description: "Extract the Dankclaw Gitea token from ~/.config/secrets/gitea for API calls to PRIVATE repos, and diagnose the empty-token 404 that looks like a missing repo."
+---
+
+The Gitea credential store line on Frank's boxes is **http** (not https) with a percent-encoded port:
+
+```
+http://dank:<40-char-token>@192.168.0.143%3a3000

+
+## Extraction that actually works
+

+curl -s -H "Authorization: token $tok" http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/<path>
+```
+
+Common wrong pattern (silent failure): an `awk`/`grep` anchored on `https://` or on `@192.168.0.143:` matches nothing, leaving `tok=""` — verify with `echo "tok len ${#tok}"` before believing any API result.
+
+## The 404 trap
+
+`dank/command-center` is **public**: an empty token still returns real issue data. `dank/dankvoice` is **private**: the same empty token returns `404` on `/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<repo>` and `{}`-shaped bodies (`title: undefined`) on issues. A 404 with a zero-length token is an auth problem, NOT a missing repo — confirm by printing the token length first, then re-check.
+
+## Other notes
+
+- `git credential fill` fails headless here (`could not read Username … terminal prompts disabled`); read the store file directly instead.
+- Never print the token: mask when inspecting the file —
+  `sed -E 's#(://[^:]+:)[^@]+@#\1REDACTED@#' ~/.config/secrets/gitea`
+- Issue/PR numbers are **per repo**: `dank/dankvoice` #8–#11 (refactor, hardening, AbortError fix, menu defects) are unrelated to `dank/command-center` #8–#11 (SDLC, trunk-law). Read the body from the repo the work targets before referencing an issue in a commit message.

+description: "Trailing-slash gitignore rules don't match symlinks, so worktree dependency symlinks get committed; detect with git ls-tree mode 120000, fix with git rm --cached."
+---
+
+A `.gitignore` entry written with a **trailing slash matches directories only**. A symlink of the same name is not a directory, so it slips past the rule, and `git add -A` in a `git worktree` checkout silently **tracks** it. Cost measured 2026-10-19: a machine-specific symlink (`node_modules -> /home/blank/Projects/dankvoice/node_modules`) landed in `main` with a merged PR.
+
+Why worktrees are the trigger: a worktree has no `node_modules` (or other installed-deps dir) of its own, so the cheap way to make build/test work there is a symlink into the primary checkout. With `node_modules/` ignored, nothing complains.
+
+## Detect
+
+```bash
+git ls-tree HEAD -- node_modules          # mode 120000 == tracked symlink
+git ls-files -s | awk '$1==120000'        # every tracked symlink in the index
+```
+
+## Fix (branch, never on main directly)
+
+```bash
+git rm -q --cached node_modules           # untrack; leaves the file on disk
+```
+
+plus relax the ignore rule to the slash-free form, with the reason inline so nobody re-adds the slash:
+
+```
+# Trailing slash would only match directories: a node_modules symlink (the
+# shape `git worktree` checkouts end up with) slips past it and gets tracked.
+node_modules
+```
+
+Then `git check-ignore -v node_modules` must print the rule, and the suite runs after (the symlink still resolves, it is just ignored).
+
+## Prevent
+
+In a fresh worktree, create the deps symlink **after** confirming the ignore rule has no trailing slash:
+
+```bash
+git check-ignore -v node_modules || sed -i 's|^node_modules/$|node_modules|' .gitignore
+```
+
+Same class for any ignored-by-convention dir that a worktree might provide as a link: `node_modules`, `vendor`, `.venv`, `target`, `dist` when built artifacts are ignored.

+description: "Use when a merged PR must land in a checkout whose working tree is dirty and workspace policy blocks git switch/restore/stash/reset-to-commit: prove identity, commit forward, merge, verify."
+---
+
+# Landing a merged PR into a checkout with blocked tree operations
+
+Shared-workspace policy can block `git switch`, `git checkout <branch>`, `git restore`, `git stash`, and `git reset <commit>` ("uncommitted changes other concurrent agents rely on"). A `git pull --ff-only` then aborts with *"Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge"* — **even when the local content is byte-identical to the incoming commit**, because git compares the index, not intent. Observed twice on 2026-10-19 (dank/command-center, dank/dankvoice).
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Prove identity first — never assume it.**
+   `git fetch && git diff --stat origin/main -- <the dirty paths>` → **empty output** means the working tree already equals the merged result, so committing it forward destroys nothing. If it is not empty, stop: there is real local work; do not proceed.
+2. **Commit forward** the identical paths (message says exactly that, e.g. *"land merged #N content; policy blocks restore/stash, so the identical copies are committed rather than discarded"*). Hooks still run.
+3. **Merge, don't ff:** `git merge --no-edit origin/main` (ort resolves identical changes on both sides cleanly). `--ff-only` is impossible once step 2 created a commit.
+4. **Untracked-collision case:** if the abort says *"Please move or remove them before you merge"*, an untracked local file occupies a path the merge adds. `mv` it aside, merge, then `cmp` the restored file against the copy — identical → drop the copy (if the copy came from `.AGENTTRASH`, delete it and `rmdir`, since the file is now tracked).
+5. **Verify:** repo lint/tests, `git status --porcelain -- <paths>` empty, and `git rev-parse --short HEAD origin/main` equal **after a fresh `git fetch`**.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- `git merge … | tail -3` masks the exit status — `tail` always exits 0 and an `&&` chain then continues past an aborted merge. Run the merge unmasked, or check `${PIPESTATUS[0]}`.
+- Immediately after a push, `git rev-list --count main..origin/main` can report phantom commits-behind from a stale remote-tracking snapshot. Re-`fetch` and compare `rev-parse` before believing any drift.
+- Do not push redundant commits into a *deployment* checkout without checking the repo's tier law: machine/live tiers commit straight to `main`, human/agent prose goes by PR.
+
+## Never
+
+No `--no-verify`, no `reset --hard`, no `checkout -- <path>`, no "temporary" stash: those are exactly the operations the policy blocks because they discard other agents' work.

+## 2. Gate the runtime, from the binary's own `--help`
+
+On the host: `/home/dank/GitPackages/<build>/llama-server --help | grep -iE 'lora|adapter'`.
+Confirm `--lora-scaled FNAME:SCALE` exists (and `--lora-init-without-apply` + `POST
+/lora-adapters` if a runtime toggle is ever wanted). Vendor forks gate adapters by metadata
+version too — e.g. PrismML builds older than `prism-b10777` refuse packs with `unsupported
+prism.hadamard.version: 2`. Read the card for the build it verified on and put that in the
+fetcher header.
+
+## 3. Surface (five files, copy the mmproj convention)
+
+- `scripts/<svc>.env`: `LORA_FILE=<path>` + `LORA_SCALE=1`; document that **`LORA_FILE=` (empty)**
+  is the rollback and `LORA_SCALE=0` is the inert-but-present mode. Use `${VAR=default}` (no
+  colon) so an explicitly empty value survives — same reason `MMPROJ_FILE`/`PRESENCE_PENALTY` do.
+- `scripts/serve-<svc>.sh`: `EXTRA_ARGS+=(--lora-scaled "${LORA_FILE}:${LORA_SCALE}")` — **one
+  argv token**, so a scale can never arrive without its file; refuse a missing file by name
+  (`Restart=always` turns an unfinished fetch into a crash loop that reads like a runtime fault).
+- `scripts/download-<svc>-<adapter>.sh`: copy the sibling fetcher (`-fsSL --fail-with-body`, byte
+  count, sha256, `--verify-only`, idempotent). No LFS oid => pin the content sha. Header carries
+  the provenance finding.
+- `scripts/deploy-remote.sh`: `LLM_<SVC>_LORA="${LLM_<SVC>_LORA:-<path>}"` + a check whose error
+  names **this** fetcher, not the payload's.
+- `scripts/deploy-plan.py` needs nothing: fetchers are host-side state and select no service.
+
+## 4. Seam tests (argv is the contract)
+
+Stub-engine harness: create the adapter stub from the **shipped env's basename**, emit
+`LORA_FILE`/`LORA_SCALE` in the generated test env, then assert on output only —
+`--lora-scaled` value equals `<path>:<scale>`; a distinctive `LORA_SCALE` (0, 0.75) changes the
+token; `LORA_FILE=` yields **absence** of the flag (`! grep -qxF -- '--lora-scaled'`); a missing
+file exits non-zero naming that path; extend the env↔deployer anti-drift pair list.
+
+## 5. Deploy and prove it behaviourally
+
+Capture the **before** state on the live endpoint first, then: merge → on host `git pull` +
+run the fetcher → `./scripts/deploy.sh <host> --service <svc>`.
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl show <svc> -p DropInPaths --value          # must be empty (bench-drop-in law)
+sudo tr '\0' ' ' < /proc/$(sudo systemctl show <svc> -p MainPID --value)/cmdline
+sudo journalctl -u <svc> --since <boot> | grep -iE 'adapter|lora'   # llama_adapter_lora_init_impl prints prism.* keys
+```
+
+Refusal probe (the only proof of an abliteration adapter): same prompts, `temperature 0.1`,
+**`max_tokens >= 2048`** — on thinking models a short budget is consumed by
+`reasoning_content` and `content` comes back empty with `finish_reason: length`, which reads
+as a refusal that never happened. Classify with a marker regex and report refusal-vs-complied;
+do not paste generated harmful content into chat. Also run the standing trio: exact-phrase
+chat, `tool_calls` with valid JSON, and a >=256 px solid-colour vision probe. A residual
+`⚠️ Important Disclaimer` heading after the swap is style, not the refusal circuit.
+
+## Docs
+
+Endpoint page (`serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/<svc>.md`): Adapter row, Fetch row, Flags row, one
+Era row whose rollback is the env line, and a measured before/after paragraph. Laws worth
+adding: provenance is metadata not a gate; an `token_embd` rank would crash, so an adapter is
+not inert; the runtime pin may gain a second reason. Never restate the card's benchmark table.

+description: "Use when cutting a monolithic source file into modules behind a black-box test suite whose committed build artifact (dist) must stay byte-identical to src; one verified commit per cut, red-proof against the previous bundle. Not for feature work or doc-only edits."
+---
+
+# Monolith split under a committed-bundle pin
+
+Procedure that landed a 1354-line `index.ts` as 9 modules + 301 lines of wiring across 9 commits with zero red commits. Assumes: black-box test suite (tests drive the built bundle, not internals) and a pin test asserting the committed `dist/` equals a fresh build of `src/`.
+
+## Per-cut loop (one commit per cut, always in this order)
+
+1. `bun run build` (or project equivalent) **before** staging — commit `dist/` in the same commit as the moved `src/`, otherwise the pin test fails ("committed dist is byte-identical to a fresh build") and you must amend. Amending is fine only while the branch is unpushed.
+2. `tsc --noEmit`, then run the full suite async (`bats tests/ > /tmp/x.log 2>&1; grep -E '^1\.\.'`).
+3. **Never write to `src/` while the suite runs.** `setup()` rebuilds the bundle from `src/`, so a concurrent edit attributes someone else's half-written state to your run. Read-only prep (planning the next cut's exact line ranges) is the correct thing to do while waiting.
+4. Gate green → next cut. Gate red → fix, rebuild, amend, re-gate.
+
+## Cutting mechanics
+
+- Cut leaf/pure modules first (grammar, transcript rules, URL resolution, pure segmenter), then stateful ones (config, IO, pipeline, UI). Never let a module import `index` — if the new module needs something from `index`, that thing is a leaf and must move too (this is what forced `segment.ts` out early).
+- Extract in **verbatim** bodies: read the exact ranges, write them into the new file, then delete the same ranges. Only module docs, export keywords, and injected dependencies change. Keeps each commit reviewable as a move.
+- Edit tools that require "displayed lines" from the latest read snapshot: re-read the exact ranges under the current tag, then issue one edit call with all ops listed **bottom-up** (original line numbers throughout). Adjacent ranges merge into one `CUT a=b`; leaving a doubled blank line is the usual scar — one extra `CUT` next turn.
+- Mutable config must reach a long-lived object as **getters**, not a construction-time snapshot: menu handlers mutate `cfg` after construction, and a snapshot freezes the settings the UI exists to change.
+- After moving code, grep the old file for the moved names: stale call sites compile under bundlers that skip typechecking (`stop()` vs `speaker.stop()` was caught only by `tsc`, not by `bun build`).
+
+## Proving a new assertion is red-capable (before trusting it green)
+
+Build the old bundle and point the test harness at it — no stash, no worktree juggling:
+
+```bash
+git show HEAD:dist/index.js > /tmp/old-dist.js   # bundle is self-contained
+# rebuild the throwaway harness by extracting the driver the suite writes
+sed -n "<heredoc-body-range>p" tests/behavior.bats > "$W/driver.ts"
+DV_EXT=/tmp/old-dist.js <same env as the test> bun "$W/driver.ts" <scenario>   # expect RED
+DV_EXT="$PWD/dist/index.js" <same env> bun "$W/driver.ts" <scenario>           # expect GREEN
+```
+
+Copy the project's real player/server stub verbatim — a simplified stub (e.g. one that skips writing the log file the driver counts) prints a false `PLAYS 0` and looks like a failing fix. Pin the scratch dir to a fixed path; `ls -dt /tmp/tmp.*` picks up another session's directory.
+
+## Black-box test hygiene learned the hard way
+
+- A test that counts artifacts in the **shared** temp directory observes every other process on the box (live agent sessions synthesize into the same `dankvoice-*` dirs). Give the run a private `TMPDIR="$WORK/scratch-tmp"` and assert there; the assertion's sensitivity is proven by the fact it caught a real leftover while scoped globally.
+- Let preseeds reference the ephemeral fixture port with a placeholder (`__PORT__`) substituted by the driver, so a test can preseed a URL pointing at its own fixture server.
+- Refactor-only commits get **no new test**: re-asserting unchanged labels/order after a commit whose point is that they are unchanged is a tautology; the existing suite is the gate. New tests belong to behavior changes, red-first.
+- Tests must observe **output**, never internals: assert `PLAYS`/`CALLS`/`CALL <url>`/`NOTIFY <text>`, not that a variable was set.
+
+## Docs after a split (same branch, own commit)
+
+Move each explanation to the file that now owns it (knob list → the module that reads env; state-machine prose → the module that implements it) and leave the entry point a one-line-per-module map. Then grep for pointers into the old file — a README saying "see header of `src/index.ts`" becomes a lie the moment the knobs move.

+
+# Prove harness→extension event delivery with a probe plugin
+
+Use when an extension handler seems never to fire, or when you must know *when* an
+event arrives relative to another (mid-run vs settle). Never infer dispatch from
+the feature's side effects: async work in the handler (LLM rewrites, synthesis,

+}
+```
+
+## Run
+
+1. `cd ~/.omp/plugins && omp plugin link /tmp/probe` (link, never edit
+   `node_modules`), then `omp plugin doctor` → expect a `✔ plugin:event-probe` line.
+2. Launch a **fresh** TUI session in a pty (`omp --cwd /tmp/probe-run`, `pty: true`).
+   Extensions load at startup only — an already-running session never sees the probe.
+3. PTY gotcha: input sent before the splash clears is swallowed. Read the screen
+   first, then submit text and finish with a separate write containing a bare
+   `\r` (LF alone left the text sitting in the composer).
+4. Drive a task with ≥2 tool rounds so turns and settles separate in time
+   (sequential reads work and need no approval; ask for steps "strictly one
+   after the other" or the model parallelises them into one turn).
+5. Wait for a terminal line with an async bounded loop (`grep -q agent_end`,
+   `sleep 1` inside one backgrounded bash call) — never poll across turns.
+
+## Read
+
+`turn_end` timestamps strictly earlier than `agent_end` ⇒ per-turn delivery
+works. `willContinue=true` on `agent_end` marks a non-terminal settle (harness
+maps `isTerminal === false` to it) — handlers that `return` on it never speak.

+## Teardown (mandatory)

Read this before wiring a handler; verify against the installed version's `src/extensibility/extensions/types.ts` and `pi-agent-core/src/agent-loop.ts` when precision matters.

Right for latency telemetry, non-200/abort detection, `requestId` correlation. |
+| `message_end` | full `message` (assistant, user, tool-result, gate-stop, error) | the moment that message is built (`agent-loop.ts`, assistant case) | Earliest event carrying assistant text. Fires for non-assistant messages too → gate `message.role === "assistant"`. Payload is cloned for extensions. |
+| `turn_end` | `turnIndex`, `message`, `toolResults` | after that turn's **tool results** come back | Stale by the tool duration: a 14 s tool delays a `turn_end` trigger 14 s. Extension event has **no `willContinue`** (the `turnIndex` is numbered by the lifecycle mirror), so you cannot tell the terminal turn from here. |
+| `agent_end` | `messages`, `willContinue`, `awaitingAsyncWork` | once per user prompt, when the loop settles | `willContinue: true` = the harness scheduled a continuation (auto-retry / empty-stop), not a user-visible settle — narrating it speaks an answer the model is about to redo. Silence-prone on long-running sessions. |
+| `agent_start` | — | run begin | Use to reset per-run dedupe state, so a later answer with identical text is not swallowed. |

+## Narration cadence pattern (what dankvoice ships)

+- `turn_end` (or `message_end` if the tool-time lag matters) for mid-run commentary; `agent_end` only for the settled answer.
+- Drop a mid-run trigger while audio/IO is busy — never queue, never interrupt.

+description: Resolve a local:// artifact to a real filesystem path (for scripts/curl) without guessing the session-slug directory.
+---
+
+`local://<name>.md` artifacts live in a per-cwd, per-session directory whose name you cannot guess. Three invented paths failed before this worked (2026-10-19).
+
+Actual layout:
+
+```
+~/.omp/agent/sessions/<cwd-slug>/<timestamp>Z_<session-id>/local/<name>.md
+```
+
+`<cwd-slug>` is the working directory with `/` replaced by `-`, **keeping the leading dash** — `/home/blank/.omp/wt/wt-20261019-125509-7c8a99d` under `/home/blank` becomes `-.omp-wt-wt-20261019-125509-7c8a99d`. Dropping the leading `-.` is the mistake that produces `FileNotFoundError`.
+
+## Get the real filesystem path
+
+Ask the tool, don't reconstruct it — a ranged read of the artifact reports the resolved path in its header:

+## Access (never put the bearer in argv)
+
+The API bearer IS `OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD`; the API publishes on loopback `127.0.0.1:5056` only, so run

+- Credential provider for any in-house OpenAI-compatible server: **`openai_compatible`** (not `openai`),
+  with a dummy `api_key` when the upstream does not authenticate.

+  cannot be stored; a **container name on `dankclaw_default`** (e.g. `http://frank-dragoon-halogen:8731/v1`)
+  or another machine's RFC1918 IP both pass.
+
+## The two traps that eat the most time
+
+1. **`PUT /api/models/defaults` takes the model ID, never the name.** `"default_embedding_model":
+   "qwen3-embedding-0.6b"` is accepted and echoed back, then every job dies in the worker with
+   `Model with ID qwen3-embedding-0.6b not found`. Use the row's `model:…` id (GET defaults first, change
+   one key, PUT the whole object back — the other keys in that response are ids and must be preserved).
+2. **`POST /api/embed` answers 500 *after* the work succeeds.** Upstream `EmbedResponse.command_id`
+   declares `str` and the worker returns a `RecordID`, so FastAPI raises in serialization only. The truth is
+   `podman logs open-notebook | grep "Successfully embedded"`, never the HTTP code. Note saves
+   (`POST /api/notes`) submit `embed_note` themselves; `/api/embed` is only for backfills.
+
+## Proof it actually works
+
+- Per row: `POST /api/models/<id>/test` → `Embedding dimensions: 1024` (embeddings) or a real completion.
+- Embeddings, discriminating test: create **two** unrelated notes, then
+  `POST /api/search` `{"query": "...", "type": "vector", "search_notes": true, "limit": 5}` — the enum is
+  `text|vector` (not `semantic`) and the score field is `similarity`. Each query must rank its own note
+  high and the other low (measured 0.659/0.292 vs 0.906/0.318). One note proves nothing: `total_count` is 1
+  either way. Delete the probe notes afterwards (`DELETE /api/notes/<id>`).

-# Concurrent-worktree path hazard (shared repo, many agents)
+Use when several agents (or you across two checkouts) edit the same repo in different git worktrees at once, or when an edit/query lands in the wrong checkout.

-Measured 2026-10-18 on `serverAppConfigs` with two agents live at once. The
-failure is **silent**: the tool reports success, the diff looks right, and the
-change lives in a *different* worktree.
+## The silent failure: relative tool paths resolve to the SESSION cwd

-## Which path form binds where
- **Parent/top-level session**: a **relative** `path` resolves against the
-  session CWD — its own worktree — never against the worktree named in the
-  prompt. This is how a change meant for `wt-tts-trial-docs` landed in
-  `wt-20261017-…`.
- **Subagent**: an **absolute** path to its own assigned worktree can resolve
-  into the parent's worktree when the same *relative* path exists there
-  (`edit` twice onto `dankclaw/.env.example`). Its `write` with the same
-  absolute path was fine — the bug is `edit`/`read` path resolution, not `write`.
+`read` / `edit` / `write` / `grep` resolve a **relative** `path` against the **session working directory** — never against the `cd` inside a neighboring `bash` call, and not against a `../other-worktree/...` prefix either (that gets normalized back into the session tree). So after `cd ../wt-B && grep …` you can `read path="docs/page.md"` and get **wt-A's** copy.

-Rules that hold:
-1. A subagent passes paths as `../<its-worktree>/<rel>` (relative to the parent
-   worktree) for `read` **and** `edit`; the parent passes **absolute** paths to
-   any worktree that is not its own CWD.
-2. After every edit batch, prove the landing site, do not trust the tool's echo:
-   `git -C <intended-worktree> status --short` must list the file. A file you
-   edited that is missing from that list went somewhere else.
-3. Keep each work item on its own branch/worktree, and keep ONE integration
-   owner (the parent) for shared files — `scripts/deploy-remote.sh`,
-   `scripts/deploy-plan.py`, `tests/`, `serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md`,
-   `AGENTS.md` are the collision hot spots in this repo. Never rebase a
-   sibling's branch.
+Why it survives "I just read it to check": the returned path is printed workspace-relative and the file name is identical in every checkout, so the output looks like a correct read of the tree you meant. Only content that differs between the checkouts betrays it.

-## Repair protocol (no `git checkout`, no `git restore`)
-`git checkout -- <path>` and `git restore <path>` are **policy-blocked** in a
-shared workspace ("overwriting working-tree files … discards changes other
-concurrent agents rely on"). Unstaging (`git reset [<path>]`,
-`git restore --staged <path>`) is allowed but does not undo content. So:
+Rules:
+- **Absolute paths for every tool call that targets a worktree other than the session's.** No exceptions for quick reads.
+- Confirm the checkout from content you know differs (a heading, a status line), not from the echoed path.
+- A `read` error like "Did you mean .AGENTTRASH/<name>" is a signal the relative path resolved into the session tree — re-issue absolute.
+- Same trap for `bash`: it starts each call in the session cwd, so `cd` twice per call or use absolute paths there too.

-```bash
-F="path/with spaces if any"
-# 1. move the change to the worktree that should own it (both at the same base commit)
-cp "<wrong-wt>/$F" "<right-wt>/$F"
-# 2. undo in the wrong worktree by writing the committed blob back
-git -C "<wrong-wt>" show "HEAD:$F" | tee "<wrong-wt>/$F" > /dev/null
-# 3. prove both sides
-md5sum <(git -C "<wrong-wt>" show "HEAD:$F") "<wrong-wt>/$F" "<right-wt>/$F"
-git -C "<wrong-wt>" status --short          # must be empty for that file
-git -C "<right-wt>" diff --stat             # must show the intended delta
-```
+## Landing a change when the session worktree is stale

-Never fix it blind: if the wrong worktree had its own uncommitted edits to that
-file, `cp`/blob-write-back would destroy them — check
-`git -C <wrong-wt> status --short` FIRST and reconcile content, don't overwrite.
+`git diff --name-only HEAD origin/main` first. If main moved a file you are editing, your edit's base is wrong even though the file "looks fine" — do not commit on the stale base.

-## Tidy after a cancelled sibling
-A killed subagent can leave a worktree plus an empty branch. Removing them is
-safe only when verified empty: `git -C <main> log --oneline -3 <branch>` (no
-unique commits) and `git -C <wt> status --short` (clean), then
-`git worktree remove <wt>` + `git branch -D <branch>`. An orphan worktree at a
-stale commit is the same class of trap as a leftover bench drop-in: the next
-agent reads it as unfinished work.

 ## After install — proof without a TUI
 - `omp plugin doctor` → per-plugin ✔ line.
 - Audible/behavioral chain when TUI input is unusable (update-banner modal freezes pty submits): run `omp --mode=rpc --no-session` with the feature env armed (dankvoice: `DANKVOICE_AUTO=1`, gate is print/json-only) and watch for objective side effects, e.g. PipeWire: `pw-dump | grep -q "say-<ms>.wav"` proves synth+playback end-to-end.
+- When pty submits DO work (no modal), the strongest instrument is a stub player plus a clip count, not ears or pixels: `DANKVOICE_PLAYER=/tmp/stub.sh` where the stub appends `$1` to a log and exits 0. Launch the DEPLOYED bundle by path (`omp --no-extensions --no-session -e ~/.omp/plugins/node_modules/<pkg>/dist/index.js`) in a neutral cwd with `DANKVOICE_CONFIG` pointed at a scratch file so the operator's settings are untouched.

+- the exact numbers you will quote: per-file `grep -c '^@test'`, `package.json`
+  `scripts`, module list from `ls src/`. Never write a test count or command from
+  memory.
+
+## 1. Section checklist (point of use — each answers a question the next agent hits)
+
+1. **State line**: the commit it describes (`main` at `<sha>`, "after PRs #N") +
+   the rule that whoever leaves work updates it in the same commit. A stale
+   handoff is worse than none: it gets believed.
+2. **Commands** — build/typecheck/test with real runtime, plus concurrency
+   hazards (e.g. a suite that rebuilds `dist/` in `setup()` → two `bats` runs
+   corrupt each other's byte-identical pin).
+3. **Test seam and how to add a test** — where the harness mock lives, scenario
+   names, how scripted UI answers are consumed, env dials that are *ignored*
+   (a `setup()` that clobbers your override), and the red-first rule with the
+   one exception (a characterization test that says so in a comment).
+4. **The laws, each with the test that holds it** — table form. Distinguish
+   load-bearing invariants from incidental behaviour; this is the section that
+   stops a confident agent "fixing" a chosen design.
+5. **Worktree/dev-dir recipe** — symlinked deps, gitignore rule that keeps the
+   symlink untracked, why the shared checkout stays clean.
+6. **Ship path** — branch → tests → rebuild committed artifact → PR → merge on the
+   owner's OK → land with `--ff-only` → deploy (the gotcha that the upgrade target
+   is the PACKAGE name, not the directory alias) → `cmp` the live artifact against
+   the merged build → prune. Include the auth traps of the forge (token via a
+   600 curl `-K` file, empty token answering 404 not 401, form-encoded merge).
+7. **Live verification** — the instrument that produces evidence (stub player,
+   log line counts, pty submit semantics), and explicitly what is NOT a check
+   (print-mode invocation, screen reads of transient toasts, single-take audio
+   comparisons).
+8. **Environment reality not visible from this code** — the live endpoints,
+   measured limits, refusals; crosslink the README if it owns the table.
+9. **Open items** — numbered, each actionable alone, each saying who decides if a
+   human must; name the repo a fix belongs in when it is NOT this one.
+10. **History** — one line per issue/PR. No tables of metrics.
+
+One owner per fact: link the README/decision records instead of restating knob
+tables or rationale.
+
+## 2. Tree hygiene (the costly step)
+
+Writing straight into a shared checkout leaves an untracked file on `main` — a
+half-deployed state where the checkout is the deployment, and a dirty tree for
+everyone else. Move it onto a branch without switching anyone's HEAD:
+
+```bash
+mv <repo>/docs/handoff.md /tmp/handoff.md
+git -C <repo> fetch -q origin
+git -C <repo> worktree add -q -b docs/<slug> ~/Projects/wt-<topic> origin/main
+ln -s <repo>/node_modules ~/Projects/wt-<topic>/node_modules   # if deps are needed
+mv /tmp/handoff.md ~/Projects/wt-<topic>/docs/handoff.md
+git -C <repo> status --porcelain                              # shared checkout clean again
+```
+
+README pointer edit happens **in the worktree** (an edit there is a separate
+checkout; editing the shared one dirties a tracked file). Then commit, run the
+suite, push, open the PR, and merge only on the owner's explicit OK.
+
+## 3. Voice rules

+and consequences, not bookkeeping. No measured numbers for things that drift;

+
+# OGA on XDNA2: graph not claimed, or generation stops at once
+
+Two independent failure families in the AMD `onnxruntime-genai` (OGA) + RyzenAI EP stack on
+Linux XDNA2 (Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max). Diagnose them in this order — they are separate
+gates and each has its own instrument.
+
+## Gate 0 — is the NPU path alive at all?
+
+Run the vendor's own instrument before touching anything else:
+
+```bash
+cd /opt/rai/quicktest && RYZEN_AI_INSTALLATION_PATH=/opt/rai python quicktest.py
+# want: "Setting environment for STX/KRK" ... "Session successfully initialized" ... "Test Finished"
+```
+
+It finds the device by shelling out to `lspci -nn` and grepping `1022:17f0`, so it also
+proves `lspci` is present in the container. Pass ⇒ the in-tree `amdxdna` driver and the
+extracted userspace pair correctly; stop blaming the host.
+
+Separate **XRT enumeration** from **OGA's device probe** — they are not the same check:
+
+```python
+import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/opt/xilinx/xrt/python")
+import pyxrt; dev = pyxrt.device(0)   # constructs => XRT sees the device
+```
+
+`pyxrt.device(0)` succeeding while OGA says `No RyzenAI devices detected` means the
+refusal is OGA's own predicate, inside `libonnxruntime-genai.so` (the string lives there,
+next to `RyzenAI`, `max_length_for_kv_cache`, `library_path`). EP-side env levers worth
+pulling: `RYZENAI_EP_TRACING`, `RYZENAI_EP_PERFORMANCE_COUNTERS`, `RYZENAI_LLM_ASYNC_INIT`,
+`RYZENAI_LLM_PROFILE_INIT`.
+
+## Gate 1 — `invalid model … Node (If) cond_full`
+
+This is **ONNX Runtime verifying the raw graph**, which happens when no provider claimed
+it: the EP registered nothing and the CPU provider was left holding an `If` whose branches
+mismatch. It is never a corrupted model.
+
+```bash
+LD_DEBUG=files LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=/tmp/ld python loadprobe.py
+grep -a "calling init:.*ryzenai\|undefined symbol" /tmp/ld.*
+# observed: libonnxruntime_providers_ryzenai.so loaded, then
+#   symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: GetProvider (fatal)
+```
+
+`GetProvider` is not a dynamic symbol in the ORT cores, the shared-provider stub, or the
+EP (`nm -D` shows neither defines nor wants it), so the failure is registration, not an
+ELF mismatch. Confirm the cores are identical before chasing versions: both shipped
+`libonnxruntime.so.1.27.0` copies hash equal.
+
+Separate the two gates with an explicit global-scope load before importing OGA:
+
+```python
+import ctypes
+ctypes.CDLL("/opt/rai/deployment/lib/libonnxruntime_providers_ryzenai.so",
+            mode=ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL)
+import onnxruntime_genai as og
+og.Model(MODEL)   # registration fixed => error MOVES to "No RyzenAI devices detected"
+```
+
+An error that **moves** proves you cleared one gate and exposes the next. Silence in the
+first form means the provider list was empty.
+
+### Dead ends (measured, do not retry)
+
+- **Shadow model dirs never work.** Hardlink mirror, symlink mirror, and even a
+  read-only single-file bind mount of a patched `genai_config.json` over the export's own
+  `genai_config.json` all produce the same `If` rejection. The graph is only claimable
+  when loaded from the export's own directory, and there is no config-path override in
+  `0.14.0-dev`: the only env names in the shipped binaries are `GENAI_LOG_ORT_LIB`,

+  either editing the download in place or a **single-file bind mount over the real dir**
+  (`-v file.json:/spike/<model>/genai_config.json:ro`) — and if the EP still refuses, the
+  gate is not the config.
+- **Bisect the image before believing "environment drift".** Run the same load probe
+  against every local tag; three tags failing identically rules the image out.
+- **Rule out host state with instruments, not memory:** `fuser -v /dev/accel/accel0`,
+  `dmesg | grep -i xdna`, `stat -c "%i %y"` on the model files, `df -h`, `free -g`.
+- `sysfs` class is `accel`, not `misc`: glob `/sys/class/accel*/*`. An empty
+  `/sys/class/misc/accel*` is your glob, not a missing device.
+- `GENAI_ORT_VERBOSE_LOGGING=1` and `og.set_log_options(...)` produce nothing useful in
+  this build; `set_log_options` is a pybind builtin (no `inspect.signature`) and rejects
+  `severity` as an int. Don't burn turns trying to make it talk — use `LD_DEBUG`.
+- `strace` is absent from the RAI image and `apt` may have no mirror: `LD_DEBUG=files` is

+
+## Gate 2 — generation stops after one token
+
+OGA reads its stop list from the **model** section: `model.eos_token_id`. Chat exports
+carry the chat-turn-close id (e.g. 151645) there, so the model emits it first and the
+speech/tool budget is never spent — while `search` has **no** eos key: writing
+`search.eos_token_id` is a parse refusal (`Unknown value "eos_token_id"`), not a no-op.
+
+- Fix: rewrite `model.eos_token_id` to only the task's own end token (TTS: the
+  speech-generation-end id), or pass it through `set_search_options` if the build accepts
+  that key name.
+- A sub-millisecond `generate_next_token()` **with finite, high-confidence logits** means
+  the graph ran and chose a stop token — it is not evidence of a CPU fallback.
+- Verify a token-range census against the export's `added_tokens.json`, not against a
+  guessed vocabulary size: NeuCodec codes reach 65,536 entries (ids 151671…217206), and a
+  census bounded at 10k silently miscounts every code as a text token.
+- A hardlinked run dir is a loaded gun: `open(dst, "w")` on a hardlink truncates the
+  **original** through the shared inode. `os.unlink` the link before writing a patched
+  file. Also skip `.git/` and mirror directories when walking an HF checkout.
+
+## Rate measurement
+
+Once a load succeeds, measure at ≥300 steps with a host-side `%CPU` sampler beside the
+container (`ps -C python -o pid=,pcpu=,rss=` every 2 s): a device-bound decode waits on
+`accel0` and stays under one core, a silent CPU fallback pegs at least one. Never report
+request #1 after a boot — graph capture makes it a warmup artifact.

+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 — plus the strace test that separates a dead device from a runtime that declines the graph."
 ---

 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.

 - 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.

+## Device healthy, load still fails? Classify before blaming the hardware
+
+Two different failures, one call apart. Run the load under `strace -f -e trace=openat`:
+
+- **Never opens `/dev/accel/accel0`** ⇒ pre-device: loader/shim/env (see `ryzenai-npu-oga-linux-run` — the `Generic Failure` in ~2 ms is this class).
+- **Opens `/dev/accel/accel0`, GEM ioctls succeed, then the EP declines** ⇒ post-device: the *runtime* rejects the graph. The device is innocent; stop the hardware investigation and fix the last file it opened (`model.onnx` = graph rejected; `dd_metastate_*` = partition artifact problem).
+
+Ground truth that the device itself is sound, inside the container: `xrt-smi examine` (expect `RyzenAI-npu5 | aie2p | 6x8` + firmware version) then `xrt-smi validate` — `PASSED` incl. `throughput`. Needs `libboost-filesystem1.83.0` + `libboost-program-options1.83.0` (**hyphenated** Ubuntu names, after `apt update`); boost is required by `xrt-smi` only, never by the OGA/EP path. Vendor `quicktest` printing success does **not** prove NPU residency (that build falls back to CPU silently) — sample `/sys/class/accel/accel0/device/mem_usage` during generation instead.
+
+When the vendor runtime declines silently, exhaust its own levers and then say so: `GENAI_ORT_VERBOSE_LOGGING`, `GENAI_LOG_ORT_LIB`, `set_log_options`, `set_log_callback(callable)`, `RYZENAI_EP_TRACING`, `RYZENAI_LLM_PROFILE_INIT` all produced zero lines on the 2026-10-19 NuTTS-Air decline. Rule out shadowed artifacts by moving hardlinked mirror copies out of the scanned tree (glob-based sibling scans) — if the failure is byte-identical afterwards, that theory is dead. **If a load ever succeeded once and the byte-identical command never reproduces it (files pristine by inode+mtime), that is a NO-GO, not a lead: no rate may be quoted for a run that cannot be repeated.**
+
 ## 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.
+- Rootless containers cannot read `accel0` (`root:render 0660`) by any documented flag combination — rootful, or a world-writable udev rule.

+description: "Determine which request parameters a fleet TTS endpoint actually honors by probing façade and engine separately, with a nondeterminism control, instead of trusting docs or byte diffs."
+---
+
+Use when asked whether a TTS (or other OpenAI-compatible shim) endpoint supports a parameter — mood, tone, instructions, speed, seed — or when a request "seems to" change the audio. Docs and single-request comparisons both lie; audit the layers.
+
+## Why the naive checks fail
+- **Byte-size diffs are meaningless.** Synthesis is nondeterministic: three byte-identical requests to frank-tts came back 107564 / 134444 / 111404 bytes (~±15 % length). "The mood file differs from the baseline" proves nothing.
+- **HTTP 200 proves nothing.** A shim that rebuilds its own payload answers 200 to `speed:"banana"` because it never looks at the field.
+- **A façade can drop fields the engine supports**, so testing only the published port under-reports capability.
+
+## Procedure
+1. **Read the shim's parse block** (which request keys it reads) — not its docstring:
+   `ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw 'podman exec frank-tts grep -nE "body\.get|payload = |json\.loads" /app/app.py'`
+   Whatever keys appear there (plus what it forwards in its own `payload = {...}` dict) is the real published contract.
+2. **Enumerate the engine's key table from the binary** (works with no `strings` in the image):
+   `podman exec <engine> sh -c 'grep -aoE ".{60}instructions.{60}" /app/tts-server | head -2'`
+   Adjacent tokens come out as a run — that run IS the accepted-key list (`...instructions response_formatspeedseedmax_new_tokensrepetition_penalty subtalker_top_k subtalker_temperature ...`). Also `podman exec <engine> /app/tts-server --help`, and `podman inspect <c> --format "{{json .Config.Entrypoint}}"` to find the binary.
+3. **Reach the engine directly** when its port is unpublished: `TTS_UPSTREAM` in `podman inspect <shim>` gives the real in-network address (`http://frank-tts-engine:8880`, not `host.containers.internal`). No curl/python on the host? Pipe a script into the container that has one: `podman exec -i frank-tts python3 - <<'PY' ... PY`.
+4. **Control for nondeterminism before claiming an effect**: repeat the identical request twice as the control; only compare conditions separated by far more than the jitter, and prefer an error response (a 400 naming the unsupported flag) as the decisive evidence.
+
+## Findings for the dank fleet (verify before trusting — they move)
+- Published façade `:7772` reads only `model`, `input`, `voice`/`voice_id`, `response_format`; it rebuilds the payload, so `speed` and every unknown field are dropped before the engine.
+- Engine (`frank-tts-engine`, qwentts.cpp, qwen-talker-1.7b-**base**, Vulkan) accepts `instructions`, `speed`, `seed`, `max_new_tokens`, `repetition_penalty`, `subtalker_top_k/_temperature/_top_p`, but answers `400 "--instruct is not supported for base models"` for `instructions` on the base checkpoint. `seed` does not make output reproducible.
+- Therefore tone/mood must be produced in the **text layer** (prompt directives), not the TTS request; and `speed` needs a two-line façade fix if tempo control is ever wanted.
+
+## Verification habits
+- POST with a wrong *type* (`speed:"banana"`) to learn whether anything validates, and with a bogus `voice` to see the error shape (`available_voices` came from the engine, not the shim).
+- Plain GET of `/v1/audio/voices` for the roster.
+- Read-only probes of the fleet are always allowed; synthesis requests are transient GPU work, keep them to a handful.

+
+## Non-obvious traps (all measured on Frank's box, Node 26 / bun 1.4.3 / playwright 1.64)
+
+- **Playwright `testDir` resolves against process CWD, not the config file.**
+  Pin the seam to invoke playwright with `cd` into the spec dir.
+- **A `testMatch` regex with a leading `^` silently matches nothing** — Playwright
+  tests it against prefixed paths; "No tests found", zero diagnostics. Anchor only
+  the trailing `$`. And keep raw `/` out of the pattern if a guard script parses
+  the config literals.
+- **`tsc` with `noEmit: false` but no `rootDir`/`outDir` emits `.js` strays into
+  `src/`** while package `main` points at `dist/` — the strays resurface on every
+  build. Pin `rootDir: "src", outDir: "dist", declaration: true` in every
+  tsconfig.build.json.
+- **`bunx <tool>` ignores the workspace install** and pulls its own version (observed
+  with biome and playwright). Git hooks MUST call `./node_modules/.bin/<tool>`.
+- **Node 26 rejects `--env-file-if-set`** (no "if-set" variant on that build);
+  use `--env-file=<file>` — a shell-set env var still wins over file values, so
+  `PORT=3100 node --env-file=.env dist/cli.js` overrides cleanly.
+- **Quadlet resolves `EnvironmentFile=` relative to the UNIT directory**, not the
+  repo: `setup-dev.sh` must link the env file beside the unit in
+  `~/.config/containers/systemd/`. Generated quadlet units cannot be
+  `systemctl --user enable --now`'d — the generator's `default.target.wants`
+  symlink IS the enablement; plain `start` is enough.
+- **`gitignore` rule `.env.*` swallows `.env.example`** — add the `!.env.example`
+  negation when you write the first ignore file.
+- **Gitea 1.27.3 API create-repo with a JSON body can answer 422 `[Name]: Required`**
+  even when the field is present; probe `/api/v1/repos/<owner>/<name>` first — it
+  may already exist (empty = ready for `git push -u origin main`).
+- **Biome 2.x**: `biome migrate` needs `--write` (without it, it only prints the
+  plan) and migrates `rules.recommended` → `rules.preset`; `check --write` skips
+  `useTemplate`/`noNonNullAssertion` (unsafe) — prefer rewriting `!` assertions to
+  named lookups so `--unsafe` never touches tests.
+- **Grafana-grade gate law** (from serverAppConfigs): every e2e spec must be routed
+  by a `projects[].testMatch` or it silently never runs — ship a scaffold-guard
+  script that fails the seam on an orphan spec.
+
+## Gate wiring
+
+`tests/run.sh` (bats seams: build, unit, docs-lint, homepage budget, quadlet,
+storybook build, e2e) ← pre-push hook; pre-commit = secret-regex scan on staged

Verifying guard health by status code alone is meaningless; assert on leakage markers instead (copyparty UI title, homepage id="grid", services.json "category" JSON shape). Non-JS clients (curl/wget/WebDAV) can never solve the PoW challenge, so they are permanently parked at the challenge page — this is the entire security boundary for copyparty, which serves authenticated traffic with anonymous read perms (-v /w::r:ra,dank). Pinned by tests/e2e/specs/15-unauth-fetch.spec.ts (guest project, empty storage state): any guard-route regression that lets app bytes answer fails loudly; any gate implementation passes.

Also: arr APIs redact stored client passwords as ******** (sonarr/radarr/lidarr) — PUT the object back with the sentinel untouched to preserve the stored value; readarr (v1) returns the plaintext. When editing via the edit tool, body rows must be prefixed with +, not : — : prefixes get written literally into the file. _(context: Capture turn after the arr→qB loopback repoint (2026-09-04): app-side download-client test endpoints were unreachable, so client health was proven behaviorally instead.)_

Fleet invariant, enforced by tests/frankbook_quadlet.bats: ALL six containers share gluetun's netns (Network=gluetun.container, Wants/After gluetun.service) and publish NO ports; the gluetun unit publishes the union (8080, 6881 tcp+udp, 9696, 8989, 7878, 8686, 8787), so all egress exits ProtonVPN by construction (AllowedIPs=0.0.0.0/0; proven: netns egress 51.179.177.14 vs residential 71.227.227.172). deploy-plan.py couples gluetun → all six joiners (a gluetun recreate kills the whole family). Consequences: (1) the old arr→qB addressing hack 10.88.0.1:8080 (podman-bridge gateway) routes INTO the tunnel from inside the netns — download clients must use 127.0.0.1:8080 (done via arr APIs, verified by real qB login from inside sonarr's container); same rule for any future Prowlarr Application rows (baseUrl 127.0.0.1:arr port). (2) Caddy arr vhosts and homepage probes target 192.168.0.112:port (host-side published ports unaffected by netns changes). (3) Known defects as of 2026-09-04: Prowlarr's Applications table is EMPTY (the four rows from 2026-08-30 were lost — prowlarr→arr sync broken until rebuilt); readarr's qB proxy auth defect needs retest post-move; EZTV/1337x "CloudFlare-blocked" parking is stale (egress now VPN — retest before enabling). (4) E2E lesson: playwright specs 11-admin/12-crawl now derive expected open-link counts from services.json (showLink) instead of hardcoded counts — keep new registry entries consistent. Also: deploy.sh --service X dispatches ONLY X on frankbook (path-coupling applies to changed-path planning); gluetun restart self-heals all netns joiners via Restart=always so a single gluetun deploy converges the family. _(context: 2026-09-04 operator decision session: dankserver arr compose copy (booted that morning) removed after Frank chose FrankBook-Pro as the sole arr deployment; netns consolidation + test seam + loopback repoint executed same session.

Consequences: (1) PUID=0 + data roots owned 1000:1000 is the complete fleet recipe — NO UserNS/userns_mode key is needed on quadlets or compose services; the plex quadlet works without one. (2) NEVER add userns_mode: host to a podman-compose service: podman-compose 1.5.0 runs every compose service inside a pod and podman hard-rejects the combo (--userns and --pod cannot be set together), leaving the stack down with no recreate path. (3) Diagnostics: podman exec c id always shows uid=0 inside any mapping — meaningless; ground truth is /proc/container-pid/uid_map, host-side ps -o user= -p pid, or ownership of freshly-written files. (4) *arr boot-crash signature: UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/config/...' at logger init = data root not writable (e.g. root-owned dir created by sudo mkdir); the app exits before binding its port, so the port probe reads "dead" rather than "crashed" — check podman logs tail for "Press enter to exit" before assuming an outage has an infra cause. (5) NEVER pkill -f rootlessport on these hosts: it kills the port-forward helper of EVERY published container simultaneously (2026-09-03 outage); restart the owning systemd units instead. _(context: Dankserver *arr stack restore session, 2026-09-04: stack committed 2026-08-29 never booted (Sentry crash, dead ports read as outage); userns_mode: host fix was a red herring — rejected by podman-compose pods; real fix was chown 1000:1000 of /opt config dirs.

-## Scope & Methodology
+This page is the input for the dotfiles pruning/adoption session: for every
+`~/.config` entry it separates what the repo already tracks from what lives only
+on this box, and sorts the box-only half into adopt / never-track / prune.

-Census covers four areas: (1) top-level dotfiles/dotdirs in `/home/dank` (excluding `.omp` which is documented separately here), (2) every entry under `~/.config`, (3) non-cache state dirs under `~/.local/share`, (4) special directories `~/.pi` and `~/.omp`. Each entry assessed for installed status (`command -v`), size (`du -sh`), and age (mtime). Uninstalled programs flagged as `prune-candidate`.
+## Method

-All measurements are live — no invented numbers.
+Classification is per **FILE**, not per directory: the tracked unit is a symlink
+into `~/.omp/dotfiles/`. A directory can look "real" (a plain folder, not itself
+a symlink) while every file inside it is a tracked symlink — `niri` and `gtk-3.0`
+do exactly that. Conversely a directory can be a whole symlink into `dotfiles`
+(`lazyvim`) and be entirely tracked. So a directory-level verdict lies; only the
+leaf symlink target is ground truth.

---
+- **tracked** = a file whose fully-resolved target (`readlink -f`) is under
+  `/home/blank/.omp/dotfiles/`.
+- **box-only** = a regular file, or a symlink that resolves elsewhere.

-## 1. Top-Level Dotfiles / Dotdirs
+Rerun this classifier rather than trusting the table below:

-> 38 entries in `/home/dank` beginning with `.` (excluding `.omp`).
+```bash
+DOT=/home/blank/.omp/dotfiles; CFG=/home/blank/.config
+for d in "$CFG"/*; do
+  [ -L "$d" ] && case "$(readlink -f "$d")" in "$DOT"/*) echo "$(basename "$d"): tracked=ALL box-only=0"; continue;; esac
+  [ -d "$d" ] || { echo "$(basename "$d"): FILE (top-level)"; continue; }
+  tr=0; bo=0; names=""
+  while IFS= read -r -d '' f; do
+    if [ -L "$f" ]; then case "$(readlink -f "$f")" in "$DOT"/*) tr=$((tr+1)); continue;; esac; fi
+    bo=$((bo+1)); names+=" ${f#"$CFG"/}"
+  done < <(find "$d" -mindepth 1 \( -type f -o -type l \) -print0 2>/dev/null)
+  printf '%s: tracked=%d box-only=%d%s\n' "$(basename "$d")" "$tr" "$bo" "$names"
+done
+```

+## Never track (box-only)
+
+| Reason | Contents |
+|---|---|
+| **Generated palette expansion** | Every `themes/noctalia*`, `*/noctalia.*`, `*/colors/noctalia*` / `Noctalia*` (24 files outside app-profile dirs). Machine-written by matugen/noctalia, not hand-authored: the `stat -c '%y %n'` cluster `2026-10-14 19:05:40.330…40.813 -0700` writes 24 files in one second (`alacritty/themes/noctalia.toml` at `.330212397`, `btop/themes/noctalia.theme` at `.334212456`, `tmux/themes/noctalia.conf` at `.813219586`, …); later re-runs re-stamp singles — `bat/themes/noctalia.tmTheme` `2026-10-18 17:11:22`, `niri/noctalia.kdl` `2026-10-18 17:36:27`, `mango/noctalia.conf` `2026-10-17 18:23:37`. A same-second mass-write is generation, never an edit. |
+| **App state / profiles** | `mozilla` (5471), `unity3d` RimWorld state (235), `nirimod` (116), `obsidian` (99), `FreeTube` (56), `google-chrome-for-testing` (5); plus per-program state inside tracked dirs: `dconf/user`, `fish/fish_variables`, `micro/syntax/*`+`micro/buffers/history`, `gtk-4.0/servers`, `cachyos/cachyos-hello.log`. State hides inside a tracked file too: `dconf/dump.txt` carried `last-folder-path`, a nautilus `window-state` section and `picture-uri`/`picture-uri-dark` — all `/home/dank` values, and the wallpaper URIs were live on blankpad, i.e. already deployed here — dropped by #44, see [tools/dotfiles-deploy](/tools/dotfiles-deploy.md). |
+| **Skills-CLI installs** | `crush` (37), `devin` (37), `goose` (37), `kimchi/harness` (37) skill trees — provisioned by the skills CLI, owned by the store, not this repo. See [skills/store-wiring](/skills/store-wiring.md). |
+| **Secret tier** | `~/.config/secrets/` (`gitea`, `hf_token`, `hf_token_write`, `kagi_api_key` — names only), top-level `frank-job-hunt.env`, `containers/systemd/postgres.env`. Never tracked, values never printed. |
+| **Trash committed inside the tree** | `dotfiles/niri/.config/niri/cfg/.AGENTTRASH/display.kdl.superseded` — a retired output config committed 2026-10-09, five days before `.gitignore:54` gained `.AGENTTRASH/` (2026-10-14). Tracked-then-ignored: an ignore rule never reaches an already-tracked path, so the only repair is `git rm --cached`, done by #41. The rule does match at depth — `git check-ignore --no-index -v dotfiles/niri/.config/niri/cfg/.AGENTTRASH/x` resolves to `.gitignore:54` — so a fresh in-tree trash dir is ignored from birth and this does not recur on its own. |

+- **Hygiene finding, fixed 2026-10-20:** the enable-symlink
+  `~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service`
+  pointed into `~/.omp/wt/de-redesign-20261009/…`, a worktree the heartbeat had
+  already reaped — so desk auto-switching was silently off while
+  `systemctl --user is-enabled` still answered `enabled`. Relinked to
+  `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/.config/systemd/user/blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service`
+  and `daemon-reload`ed; left `inactive` on purpose, because starting it mid-
+  session applies a desk profile and the box is in use. Law and diagnosis:
+  [dotfiles-deploy](/tools/dotfiles-deploy.md).

+disagrees with the expected set by extending it**: `pywalfox`, `qt5ct`, `qt6ct`,

+Note the orphan dirs `cava`, `rofi`, `helix`, `wezterm`, `qt5ct`, `qt6ct` contain

+Found while deciding what else belongs in `dotfiles/`. (1) The gate whitelisted
+extensions (`*.md *.yml *.json *.toml *.sh *.ts *.js`), so a `.env`, `.container`,
+`.ini` or extension-less dotfile was never read — exactly the shapes the dotfiles
+tier is made of. It now scans the whole staged diff for token shapes and, in
+non-prose files, for credential assignments, and it fails closed when `git diff`
+itself errors. That last clause earned its place: the rewrite's first attempt
+passed `-I` to `git diff`, which is not valid there, got an empty file list, and
+reported success on every commit — that is what a blind gate looks like, and it
+looks identical to a clean tree. (2) A live credential had already escaped into
+tracked content: a Caddy basicauth bcrypt hash, its plaintext password, and the
+Pi-hole internal password, in an auto-learned memory file. Redacted — but both

+auto-learned memory is written by a process that has read your terminal, so it is
+a leak surface and gets gated like any config; `systemctl --user enable`
+snapshots an absolute path, so enabling from a worktree means the seven-day reap
+silently kills the unit while `is-enabled` goes on saying `enabled`

 ## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice auto-speak armed at startup

 Sessions spoke only on explicit `/say`: the settings file carried no `auto`
 key, and arming is session-scoped by design (`/say on` never persists). Set
-`"auto": true` in `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json`. Law: silence at session start
-is a config state — read `/say status` for `auto-speak on`, then watch
-`pgrep -a pw-play` for one player per segment, before blaming the endpoint.
-Details: [dankvoice](core/dankvoice.md).
+`"auto": true` in `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json`. Same report, second half:
+auto-speak listened only to `agent_end` — a settle that fires once per prompt
+and is skipped outright when the harness schedules a continuation — so nothing
+was narrated while an agent worked; fixed in dank/dankvoice#3, which narrates
+`turn_end` as well. Law: silence at session start is a config state — read
+`/say status` for `auto-speak on`, then watch `pgrep -a pw-play` for one player
+per segment, before blaming the endpoint. Law: whether the harness delivers an
+event to extensions is settled in minutes by a throwaway probe extension that
+timestamps `turn_end`/`agent_end` — never inferred from audio timing, which the
+humanizer lags by seconds. Details: [dankvoice](core/dankvoice.md).

+# Domain docs: single-context, inside the KB
+
+One domain, one glossary, one ADR folder — and all of it inside the existing
+knowledge base, because this repo caps its root at "config, docs, scripts,
+harness dirs" and `omp-docs/` is the one knowledge base. A `docs/` tree at the
+repo root would be a second KB with a second set of index rules, which is exactly
+how documentation starts disagreeing with itself.
+
+| Kind | Path | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| Glossary | `omp-docs/glossary.md` | deliberately not created yet |
+| ADRs | `omp-docs/decisions/NNN-<slug>.md`, listed by its `index.md` | directory exists, empty |
+| Facts | the rest of `omp-docs/` | existing concept pages own them |
+
+## Consumer rules
+
+1. Read [the KB index](/index.md), then the relevant directory's `index.md`, then
+   the concept page. That is AGENTS.md's existing discipline; the engineering
+   skills follow it instead of inventing a second entry point.
+2. Read the ADRs that govern an area before changing that area, and write one the
+   moment a decision stops being reversible. An ADR records the choice, the
+   reasons, and what was rejected — the part that stops a later agent from
+   re-litigating it.
+3. Do not confuse the neighbours. [Research](/research/index.md) is decision
+   *support* and explicitly not fact. [log.md](/log.md) is chronology, where
+   incident lessons land before settling into concept pages. An ADR is neither: it
+   is the decision itself, dated, and it stays true after the code moves on.
+4. One fact, one owner. If a glossary term or an ADR sentence restates a concept
+   page, the concept page wins and the duplicate is deleted.
+
+## Why the glossary is withheld
+
+A glossary earns its bytes when it holds terms no other page owns. The obvious
+candidates already have owners: host roles in [system](/system/index.md), agent
+configuration in [core](/core/index.md), skill tiers in
+[skills](/skills/index.md). A term list that paraphrases those is a second owner
+of facts already written down, and the first thing to go stale. Create
+`omp-docs/glossary.md` when a real term has nowhere else to live, and list it in
+the KB index the same commit you create it.

+# Issue tracker: Gitea on Dankclaw
+
+Issues and PRs for this repo live in Gitea: `dank/command-center` at
+`http://192.168.0.143:3000`. There is no `gh` and no `tea` on any box — talk to
+the REST API with `curl`.
+
+## Authentication
+
+The token lives in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (never embedded in a remote URL,
+never committed). Hand it to curl as a `600`-permission config file: `-H` puts it
+in world-readable `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`.
+
+```bash
+tok=$(sed -nE 's#^https?://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)
+[ "${#tok}" -ge 40 ] || { echo "token extraction failed"; exit 1; }
+cfg=$(mktemp); chmod 600 "$cfg"; printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"
+curl -sS -K "$cfg" … ; shred -u "$cfg"
+```
+
+Assert the length before posting anything. **An empty token answers `404 not
+found`, not `401`** — Gitea hides the private repo, so a 404 on a path that worked
+yesterday is an auth failure rather than a typo. The awk-style alternative that
+splits the store line on `/` silently yields an empty variable, because the host
+sits in field three. Deeper detail: [Gitea client access](/tools/gitea/client-access.md).
+
+Multi-line bodies: build the JSON with `python3 -c 'json.dumps(...)'` reading the
+body from a file. Never pass `---` as a bare `jq` argument (it parses as a flag),
+and never escape quotes inside a single-quoted `python3 -c`.
+
+## Endpoints the skills use
+
+| Action | Call |
+|---|---|
+| Open a work item | `POST /api/v1/repos/dank/command-center/issues` `{title, body}` |
+| Correct a body afterwards | `PATCH …/issues/N` (works on PRs too — a PR is an issue) |
+| Open a PR | `POST …/pulls` `{title, body, base: "main", head: <branch>}` — JSON accepted here |
+| Merge | `POST …/pulls/N/merge` **form-encoded**: `do=merge`, `merge_style=no-ff` |
+| Labels | `GET` / `POST …/labels` |
+
+Three traps that cost time before:
+
+- `POST /pulls` answers `409 … already exists for these targets` when the branch
+  already has a PR (Frank clicks Create from the push message). `GET
+  /pulls?state=all`, find it, `PATCH` it — do not re-post.
+- A JSON merge body (`{"Do":"merge"}`) returns `422 {"message":"[Do]: Required"}`.
+  The field name is lowercase `do` and the body must be form-encoded.
+- A successful merge returns `200` with an **empty body**. Verify by landing a
+  checkout (`git merge --ff-only origin/main`), never by re-reading the PR.
+
+## Laws inherited from AGENTS.md
+
+A skill working in this repo does not get to renegotiate these:
+
+- A work item is a Gitea issue. Anything with more than one moving part gets the
+  issue before the branch. Branch naming `<type>/<issue#>-<slug>`, PRs target
+  `main` directly, merge with `--no-ff`.
+- **Never merge without Frank's explicit per-PR OK**, and `xdg-open` the PR URL
+  into his browser the moment it exists — he should not have to hunt for it.
+- Every issue and PR body ends with `---`, then `cwd: <session cwd> · session:
+  <session id>`. The session id is the UUID of the transcript file being appended
+  to right now (`ls -l --time-style=+%H:%M:%S ~/.omp/agent/sessions/<cwd-dir>/*.jsonl`),
+  not the session directory name — one cwd can hold several sessions.
+- `git * --no-verify` is forbidden; the pre-commit hook is the secret gate.
