Frank 96553979fb fix(dankvoice): pin thinking off in rewrite, fix silent and timeout modes
Refs #32

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

Frank ea514c8fd2 chore(scripts): promote index-coverage checker from campaign scaffolding
PR #30 merged the throwaway checker under its .tmp- name. Promoted to
scripts/kb-coverage.py and documented on okf-maintenance.md § Automated
Gates alongside kb-lint (the bundle previously documented neither gate).
Self-tested: kb-coverage.py reports 0 issues on the current bundle.

Frank 986081bf1d docs(log): compact changelog to entry law (406 -> 284 lines)
Changelog entries were essay-length incident writeups duplicating the
concept pages they created. New entry law recorded at top of log.md:
one dated entry = what changed + durable lesson + concept-page link;
full narratives recoverable via git log --follow. Every date, headline,
incident, and durable lesson preserved; narrative prose that already
lives on concept pages (caddy handle-ordering, gluetun/limiter field
notes, quadlet gotchas, faillock law, credential-store trap) replaced
by pointers. Historical pi-era entries tagged '(pi era)'.

Also: self-hosted-web-agents.md '44.5% peer-reviewed CUA' figure could
not be re-attributed to any published benchmark via web search today
— dropped with an explicit note; the valid core claim (87.4% = managed
Cloud, not the self-hostable library) kept.

  PQ2_0-MTP, 2x262,144 over one 524,288 pool, f16 K+V (doc claimed
  build 10754, 27B, 2x200,704)
- caddy/index.md: v2.11.7 (in-container ), deduped
  caddyfile listing
- gitea: version 1.27.3 probed via API; systemd-gitea network + rootless
  100999 mapping confirmed live (gitea-server attaches systemd-gitea;
  dank subuid 100000:65536); index See-Also de-duplicated
- searxng-tuning.md: live instance section (ghcr image, valkey:9-alpine,
  marreta netns-sharing explains duplicate port maps); POLICY DRIFT FLAG:
  tuned engine policy (google/bing disabled, verified 2026-08-16) is NOT
  live — /config now shows all 262 engines enabled; upstream settings.yml
  count corrected 388@master; limiter table already matched source
- vpn-routing.md: verify snippet fixed — gluetun image ships no curl;
  health server is 127.0.0.1:9999/health ('OK'), :8000 is the CONTROL
  server (404s on health paths); correct probes provided

Frank 82dd0c7d09 docs(power): reclaim the sleep docs from the sold box; fix AGENTS.md machine facts
The sleep/wake saga (Alienware-M16a2 research + Sleep-Fix-Guide) framed a
machine sold on 2026-09-28 as 'this system' — the 2026-09-28 identifier
purge missed both because they name no hostname. blankpad probed live:
Lenovo, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U / Cezanne, unified memory, s2idle only,
no NVIDIA, no ~/GitPackages/llama.cpp.

- research/Sleep-Fix-Guide.md -> .AGENTTRASH (verbatim restatement of the
  research doc's fix steps; PowerCluster overlap census)
- Alienware doc: archive banner, 'this system' -> retired dankware
- linux-power-management.md: scope note (blankpad s2idle-only; NVIDIA
  section is dankware/future-NVIDIA territory), boilerplate AGENTS.md
  cross-ref dropped
- cachyos.md: de-pinned rolling-release kernel versions (7.1.4 doc vs
  7.2.9 live), repo list confirmed verbatim against pacman.conf, SDDM
  confirmed live, verified: 2026-10-19
- AGENTS.md: dev-workstation row rewritten for blankpad; Gitea gotcha
  corrected — remote URLs carry NO token (credential-store file, verified)

Frank 99b9a6a17c docs(pi): unify split package trees; move live OMP pages to core
Two directories documented one concept (pi npm packages): top-level
packages/ (browser-use, permission-system) and pi/packages/ (peon,
web-access, subagents). Merged into pi/packages/ — one row per package
in a single index, detail pages kept as archive records. The root
index's 'OMP packages and skills' section was doubly wrong (packages/
was pi, not OMP); it becomes a Skills tooling section pointing at the
consolidated /skills/ tree.

Moved the two LIVE omp pages out of the retired-harness banner:
pi/statusline.md -> core/statusline.md, pi/subagent-limits.md ->
core/subagent-limits.md (both document omp behavior against
agent/config.yml + the installed bundle; pi/index.md itself admitted
the mis-shelf). Retargeted every inbound link (core/index, system/
dankserver, log x2, pi/index, settings x2, moved files' own xrefs).

Frank 39385636be docs(llama): delete fabricated ornith-llama-cpp-setup tree (608 lines)
Night fact-check falsified the tree's subject: no `ornith` CLI exists
(npm 404), github.com/rhitching/ornith is 404, and the model IDs the
tree cites are wrong — the real family is ornith-ai/Ornith-1.0/1.5
(9B, 35B-A3B, 397B), built on Qwen3.5/Gemma4 per its model card, not
the 'Ornith-9B-Thinking-1.5T based on Qwen3-8B' the docs assert.
Nothing in the tree describes this fleet: no ornith binary on PATH
(audit 2026-10-18 said the same). Real facts it echoed (PrismML fork
on frank-zealot) already live in /system/.

Also: tools/index.md de-duplicated (same files were listed twice, once
as wikilinks once as links, live-sync missorted) and links normalized;
llama-cpp setup/index xrefs retargeted.

Frank 651924a4bc docs(skills): collapse three overlapping skills trees into one verified tree
Three parallel trees documented the same ecosystem: omp-docs/skills/
(two overview pages), tools/npx-skills/ (10 pi-era npm pages), and
tools/vercel-labs-skills/ (11 CLI pages), plus a fourth leaderboard page
at engineering/skills-ecosystem.md. Verbatim overlap (identical SKILL.md
field tables in skills-spec.md vs skill-format.md; 13-agent vs 68-agent
copies of the same upstream table). Consolidated to four concept pages:

- skills/agent-skills.md: standard, format, loading, authoring (merges
  skills-spec, skill-format, skill-file-structure, skill-loading,
  best-practices, skills-vs-extensions)
- skills/skills-cli.md: CLI reference (merges commands, source-formats,
  installation-scope, skill-discovery, lock-file, env-variables,
  agent-support, related-links)
- skills/store-wiring.md: moved, fleet ops, links retargeted
- skills/ecosystem.md: replaces skills-ecosystem.md; stale 2026-08-12
  top-50 table dropped, replaced with a live top-10 re-queried from the
  skills.sh API tonight and the API contract re-verified (zero-based,
  200/page, {skills,total,hasMore,page}, total 9909)

All facts re-verified 2026-10-19 against primary sources:
agentskills.io, vercel-labs/skills README + src/cli.ts (command set,
--full-depth) + src/skill-lock.ts (v3 lock, XDG path, wipe-on-old),
live skills.sh API. Deleted superseded core/index-doc.md (old pi-era
docs index). Retargeted all inbound links (tools/index, engineering x3,
packages x3, pi/skills, core/index). Pi-era npm skill packaging is
listed as archived under /pi/.

Frank 3579c7ebc5 dankvoice: humanize answers via the @tiny role and narrate thinking
Answers spoken with /say were verbatim markdown-cleaned text while the
built-in vocalizer speaks prose rewritten by a small model. Port that
enhancer (bundle Qyr/T6o: same prompt, 1536 tokens, 6 s, 4000-char
window, null-fallback/empty-skip contract) and resolve its model from
modelRoles.tiny exactly as the harness does, so auto-speak sounds like
the enhanced TUI voice instead of a pager. agent_end now also speaks the
last assistant message's thinking blocks as their own unit before the
answer; narration-flagged thinking counts as answer text. Both knobs are
menu-toggleable, persisted, and env-overridable; the fixture gains a
chat route (echo/prose) and seven scenarios cover the round-trip, the
404 fallback, ordering, the kill switches and role resolution (22 green,
58 suite-wide; live smoke through real frank-zealot + frank-tts).

Frank bcd52bb0f4 dankvoice: speak long answers as sequential sentence-sized requests
agent_end awaited one whole-answer synthesis; long answers hit the
harness 30s extension-handler timeout (handler timed out after 30000ms)
and the single frank-tts request was the stall. Port the built-in
speak-aloud vocalizer's utterance segmenter (fHe in dist/cli.js) so
segmentation matches the known-working stock path: [.!?…]-run
boundaries, abbreviation/decimal/inline-code guards, fenced code and
tables swallowed, markup cleaned. Play segment N to player exit before
synthesizing N+1 (audio never stacks); fire-and-forget the chain so
utterances outlive the handler timeout; a run token retires superseded
chains. DANKVOICE_MAX becomes a per-answer budget of whole segments;
stripForSpeech is gone. Refs #23 follow-up.

Bare /say and /say menu open a ctx.ui.select settings surface: auto-speak
toggle, voice from the frank-tts roster, PipeWire output device
(pw-play --target / paplay --device=), player binary, spoken cap, and a
test phrase. Choices persist to ~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json (env wins
over file); detectPlayer becomes availablePlayers + playerFor. Fixes
the silent-route failure mode where synthesized audio played into an
offline Bluetooth sink. 15/15 dankvoice bats, 51/51 suite, live pty
TUI smoke armed the footer and wrote the settings file.

# Bounding subagent runtime (omp harness)
## When
Subagent runs long, fan out too wide, or you must (re)declare the fleet's subagent limit policy. Also when asked "what limits can subagents have".
Use when a `task`/`eval` subagent runs absurdly long (tens of minutes on a small job),
when it **finishes its deliverable and still never exits**, when you want a hard cap
before spawning, or when you must tell a busy agent to stop.
## Read first
- Repo KB page `omp-docs/pi/subagent-limits.md` — the live policy of record (values + rationale + deliberately-not-set list). Do not re-derive; read it.
- `cfg://task` and `cfg://providers/maxInFlightRequests` — effective values, not the stock defaults.
## The knobs (`cfg://task/...`)
| Key | Default | Meaning |
## The knobs (cfg:// writes; `/save` suffix persists)
| Knob | Effect | Gotcha |
|---|---|---|
| `maxRuntimeMs` | `0` (unlimited) | **Hard wall-clock limit per subagent (ms).** The only true time cap. |
| `softRequestBudget` | `200` | Soft cap on assistant **requests** per run; force-stop at **1.5×**. |
| `softRequestBudgetNotice` | `true` | Injects one "wrap up" steering message at the soft mark. |
| `agentIdleTtlMs` | `420000` | Parks an **idle** agent after 7 min. Useless against a busy-but-slow agent. |
| `completionProbe` | `true` | Asks a working subagent to self-report completeness at 2/5/10 requests. |
| `maxConcurrency` | `32` (often lowered) | Concurrent subagents; sizes GPU/endpoint load. |
| `agentModelOverrides` | `{}` | Per-agent model routing, e.g. `{"scout":"provider/model-id"}`. |
| `tools.maxTimeout` | `0` | Caps the timeout the agent may set on a **tool**, not on the agent. |
| `task.maxConcurrency` | session semaphore; excess queues | stock default 32 — "2" is not a default |
| `task.maxRecursionDepth` | nesting cap | predicate is `depth < n`; **1 = children cannot spawn (correct for "no nesting"); 0 disables spawning for the MAIN session too — never reach for 0**; negative = unlimited |
| `task.maxRuntimeMs` | hard wall clock, overrun = `aborted` | default 0 = off |
| `task.softRequestBudget` | wrap-up notice at N, force-yield at 1.5N | scout/sonic may impose lower built-ins |
| `task.agentIdleTtlMs` | park idle finished agents | `<= 0` disables parking |
| `providers.maxInFlightRequests` | concurrent LLM requests per provider id | keys are the quoted block labels from `agent/models.yml` (e.g. `"llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)"`), flat map lookup; absent/≤0 = unlimited; scope = this machine's config root only — other workstations and non-omp clients are NOT counted; excess queues |
| `tools.maxTimeout` | ceiling on any agent-requested tool timeout | kills `timeout: 0` runaways |
| `task.isolation.enabled` | makes per-spawn `isolated` flag available | opt-in per spawn, not a blanket sandbox; needs git repo; off in plan mode |
| `task.completionProbe` | periodic completeness side-requests | token sink on shared endpoints |
Reasonable fleet defaults: `maxRuntimeMs = 900000` (15 min), leave the request budget
alone unless the failure mode is a looping search agent (then lower it — request count,
not the clock, is what bounds a 200-call research loop).
## Verify semantics from the bundle, not the label
Setting descriptions lie by omission. `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`:
- depth gate: `grep -o '.\{130\}xC\b.\{130\}'` finds `U_(n,s)`; `grep -o 'function U_(e,t){.\{0,60\}'` → `e<0||t<e` (n=cap, s=taskDepth).
- in-flight lookup: `grep -o '.\{150\}axInFlightRequests.\{200\}'` → flat `[providerId]` lookup, non-number/≤0 = unlimited, clamp ≥1.
**Verify the cap instead of assuming it.** `read cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs` at the start of
any session that plans to rely on it. A session-only write is gone next session, and an
unanswered `/save` approval means the value never persisted — so the fleet can run hours
with the cap at `0` while everyone believes it is 15 minutes. Nothing else bounds a child.
## Three failure modes, three different fixes
- **Runaway loop** (hundreds of sequential tool calls): lower `softRequestBudget`; the
clock cap only truncates it late.
- **Slow model, legitimate work** (dozens of calls on a low-t/s endpoint = an hour of wall
clock): fix routing, not the clock — check `cfg://task/agentModelOverrides` and move the
agent class onto a faster/shared endpoint. Watch the slot math: subagent endpoints share
KV slots with the interactive session, so `maxConcurrency + 1` sequences on an N-slot
endpoint degrades everyone's decode.
- **Finished work, no exit (nested fan-out deadlock).** A subagent that spawned **its own**
children blocks on their barriers. If those children die out-of-band (killed, starved, or
waiting on an answer whose subject changed mid-flight), the parent waits forever with its
deliverable already written. No instruction text prevents this — not the repo AGENTS.md,
not the task prompt; only the clock cap or a kill ends it.
Signature: parent and children report **the same elapsed wall clock**, and the parent's
on-disk output is complete. Census (agent registry + `ps`): group by elapsed time, look
for identical `etimes` across a parent/child set, then judge the **artifacts** instead of
the process — balanced code fences, no truncated tables, trailing newline, front matter or
the page's H1+status convention intact. Complete artifacts + still "running" = deadlock,
not work.
Repair: kill the **subtree** and confirm the children leave (a killed parent does not
cancel children that came from a separate `tasks[]` batch). Then **flatten**: the
top-level session does the fan-out and children never spawn children. Re-run only the
slices whose artifacts are missing — integrate from what is already on disk.
## cfg write mechanics (bit me once)
- `write cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs 900000` → applies **session-only**, replies "NOT saved".
- Persist = `write cfg://task/maxRuntimeMs/save` with the same content, and that write
needs its **own interactive approval**. If the approval prompt is not answered in time
the value stays session-only and the tool says *NEVER retry unless the user asks* —
report it in the reply instead.
- Revert a session value by writing the old value back (e.g. `0`).
## Order of operations when one is already running late
1. `read proc://` → registry of running agents; `read proc://<id>` for status/output.
2. `read agent://<id>` → live progress ("Latest assistant text") — often shows it is
mid-batch, not hung. If the latest text is already a wrap-up/summary, treat it as
**done** and collect its output instead of waiting for an exit event.
3. `write agent://<id>` an explicit wrap-up order: stop searching, answer what is
sourced, mark the rest `NOT VERIFIED — needs <what>`, cap the report length.
4. Only then `write proc://<id>/kill` — the cap does **not** retroactively bind agents
spawned before the change, so a long runner must be ordered or killed, never just
re-configured. After any kill, re-read the registry: unreaped children and orphaned
host-side processes (a scratch server holding GPU/RAM) are the expensive residue, and
`pkill -f` patterns that also match production services are forbidden — kill by pid.
## Landing a policy change
cfg `/save` writes persist immediately; `agent/config.yml` is machine-live tier (heartbeat commits it). Human-facing policy changes land as an `omp-docs` page update via branch → PR (docs tier), `git worktree add` from `origin/main` if the current checkout is branch-locked by workspace policy.

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

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

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

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

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

nproc; free -g | head -2 # RAM headroom + thread count the engine will pick
'
```
## Reading it
- Driver bound + `accel0` + firmware dir + `iommu=pt` ⇒ **kernel side is ready**; do not re-litigate "is the NPU disabled". A missing device node is *not* the modern failure mode.
- `auto` on `pp_dpm_fclk` / `power_dpm_force_performance_level` ⇒ fabric clock **unheld**. GPU+NPU concurrently with a moving fclk hangs these hosts and corrupts NPU results; any NPU plan must pin the top fclk step (or run in a container holding it) first.
- No `ryzenai-compile`/ONNX Ryzen AI EP ⇒ nothing on the host can produce a partition program. That is the enablement delta, and it is a toolchain install + a model-specific export/quantize/compile project, not a config change.
- `free` headroom matters: NPU partitions want a few GB of host RAM each and can log benign `Failed to alloc dev bo memory, ret -28` under pressure.
## Laws / traps
- Read state only. Never probe or load the NPU beside a live inference service — stop + mask the service first (fleet benching policy); this host class has a precedent of a concurrent GPU/NPU experiment needing a power cycle.
- `sudo podman ...` finds nothing (per-user rootless storage); run podman as the deploy user.
- `/dev/accel/accel0` existing does not mean a context/PASID can be created; with IOMMU off the failure is at context creation, not at the node.

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

## Subagent routing (harness law, 2026-10-18)
**No subagent class may route to `frank-archon`** — the operator session lives there and
the endpoint runs 3 sequences (`--max-num-seqs 3`), so `task.maxConcurrency + 1` children
eat the parent's own KV slots. Violation cost: three doc children + parent = 4 sequences
on 3 slots, children ran 2 h 27 m / 2 h 45 m, the interactive session starved.
Routing and bounds live in `~/.omp/agent/config.yml` (`task:` block — the owner; verified
with `read cfg://task/agentModelOverrides`): heavy writers (`task`, `scout`) → frank-dragoon
(2 slots, idle, slow card ⇒ slice work smaller), bursty readers (`reviewer`, `sonic`,
`designer`, `librarian`) → frank-zealot (2 slots, also the compaction hub and every
tiny/smol/plan/commit/memory role). Caps: `maxConcurrency: 2`, `maxRuntimeMs: 1800000`,
`softRequestBudget: 120`, `maxRecursionDepth: 1` (children never spawn children).

## Podcast
- Podcast functionality is sourced from open-notebook; this is a project decision established before this document was created.
## Audio Input Policy
- There is no audio input anywhere in the fleet: that capability left with the FLM NPU endpoint on 2026-09-11, returned 2026-09-17 with the Gemma4 projector's audio encoder, and left again with the Gemma4 retirement on 2026-10-01.
- This policy mirrors the architecture-level decision documented in `architecture.md` regarding the fleet's input capabilities.
## Input Capabilities
All endpoints accept text input with optional image input: `frank-dragoon` returned to vision with the flash-server v2 swap, while `frank-archon` takes them natively and `frank-zealot` through its BF16 mmproj.
There is no audio input anywhere in the fleet: that capability left with the FLM NPU endpoint on 2026-09-11, returned 2026-09-17 with the Gemma4 projector's audio encoder, and left again with the Gemma4 retirement on 2026-10-01.
This rule exists because the Gemma4 projector was retired in 2026-10-01, removing the audio input channel from the fleet. The 2026-09-11 to 2026-10-01 period contained the Gemma4 projector which enabled audio, but that endpoint is now retired.

# dankvoice
`agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` adds cloned-voice speech to the interactive
harness: `/say <text>` speaks through the speakers and `/say on` narrates the
assistant's final answer after every turn, both served by
**frank-tts** (Dankclaw :7772, the `speech` model role in
[agent/models.yml](/core/index.md)).
harness: `/say` opens the options menu, `/say <text>` speaks through the
speakers and `/say on` narrates the assistant's thinking and final answer
after every turn. The words are first rewritten into natural spoken prose by
the **@tiny** role model (exactly what the built-in vocalizer's
`speech.enhanced` does), and everything is served by **frank-tts**
(Dankclaw :7772, the `speech` model role in [agent/models.yml](/core/index.md)).

"Speak a test phrase" synthesizes a short line through the current voice,
player and device — the audible proof whenever a session "has say on" but
stays silent.
Auto-speak is skipped in `print`/`json` mode so benches and pipelines stay
silent. Markdown is stripped before synthesis — fenced code is dropped, links
collapse to their label, bullets and table pipes disappear — and the utterance
is truncated at a sentence boundary inside the cap.
silent. Each spoken unit — thinking first when narrated, then the answer —
is first rewritten into spoken prose by the @tiny model; when the enhancer
(below) declines, the text goes to segmentation as-is, where fenced code and
tables vanish, links collapse to their label and bullets and table pipes
disappear. A long answer is never one monolithic synthesis request; see
[Segmentation](#segmentation) for how utterances are cut and played.
## Segmentation
Utterances are cut by a state machine ported from the harness's own
speak-aloud vocalizer (the minified `fHe` class in the agent bundle's
`dist/cli.js`), kept deliberately in lockstep with the stock path:
* A strong boundary is a run of `[.!?…]` followed by whitespace — so
`!!!!!` and `...` are one boundary, never a pile of cuts.
* Boundaries after `e.g.`, `etc.`, `Mr.` and friends, or inside inline
code, don't count; decimals (`3.5`, `1,5`) survive because a boundary
requires trailing whitespace.
* Line starts are classified: table rows and fenced code are swallowed
whole (their content is never read aloud), heading and bullet markers
vanish, ordered-list markers speak their number ("1, …"), quote markers
strip.
* Per segment, markdown is cleaned: links collapse to their label, URLs
to their host, deep paths to their last segment; emphasis markup dies.
* Segments aim for one sentence; run-ons break at commas or word wraps
before 280 characters.
Playback is strictly sequential: segment N+1 is synthesized only after
segment N's player process exited, so audio never stacks. The chain runs
detached from `agent_end` (fire-and-forget) and may legitimately outlive
the harness's 30 s handler timeout — the old awaiting design produced a
"handler timed out after 30000ms" toast on long answers. A new utterance,
`/say stop`, or disarming auto-speak retires the live chain through a run
token: the current player is killed and pending segments are skipped.
`DANKVOICE_MAX` is a per-answer character budget: the leading whole
segments that fit are spoken, the rest are dropped — the thinking unit
draws on it before the answer does.

Player detection order is `pw-play` → `paplay` → `ffplay` (PipeWire first:
the workstations run WirePlumber). A saved output device routes the player
explicitly — `pw-play --target <sink>` or `paplay --device=<sink>`; ffplay
has no device concept and ignores it — while an unset device leaves the
player's own default. Sinks are enumerated with `wpctl list audio sinks`;
if wireplumber is unreachable the menu offers only "system default". Each
utterance is written to `$TMPDIR/dankvoice-*/say-<ms>.wav` and the file plus
its directory are removed when the player process exits.
## Verified facts (2026-10-18)
## Humanized narration (the @tiny role)
The built-in vocalizer never reads answers aloud verbatim when
`speech.enhanced` is on: a small model rewrites each utterance into words a
person would say. `dankvoice` ports that enhancer — same system prompt
(verbatim from the bundle), same budgets (1536 max tokens, 6 s timeout,
4000-char input window), same contract (a failed rewrite falls back to the
mechanically cleaned text; an empty rewrite skips the unit as "nothing to
say"). The target model is the harness's `@tiny` role, resolved the way the
harness resolves it: `modelRoles.tiny` in `agent/config.yml` reads
`provider (host)/model:effort`; the provider block in `agent/models.yml`
supplies the `baseUrl`; the request is `POST {base}/chat/completions`. On
this fleet that is **frank-zealot** (`llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)`,
`:7771`) — the 6 s abort keeps a slow tiny model off the critical path.
The request body pins `chat_template_kwargs: { enable_thinking: false }`,
and that field is load-bearing: the harness injects it for managed roles,
but a raw `fetch` gets the model's default — thinking on — so the Qwen35
hybrid spends the budget on `reasoning_content` and answers `content: ""`
(measured: 6.9 s / 6893 reasoning chars / empty content without the flag;
0.55 s / 369 clean chars with it). For a hybrid endpoint, empty content
beside non-empty `reasoning_content` means the flag was ignored — a failed
rewrite (mechanical fallback), never the legitimate "nothing to say".
Thinking blocks ride the same path: at `agent_end` the last assistant
message's true `thinking` parts are narrated (rewritten first, as their own
unit, before the answer), while blocks flagged `narration: true` — which
providers use to address the user through the thinking channel — count as
answer text. The menu, `/say status`, and `DANKVOICE_THINKING` toggle it;
the choice persists in the settings file.

* **Menu** — verified via driver scenarios 2026-10-18 (Refs #23): the menu

exactly 2 (decimals never split); the markdown fixture's fenced code and
URL never reached the fixture endpoint; with `DANKVOICE_MAX=60` only the
leading segment was spoken.
* **Humanize + thinking (2026-10-19, Refs #27)** — driver scenarios cover the
rewrite round-trip (fixture chat route), the 404 → mechanical fallback,
thinking narrated as its own unit before the answer, `DANKVOICE_THINKING=0`
silencing it, and `narration: true` spoken once as the answer; the endpoint
status line shows the resolved humanize model from the @tiny role. Live

(`thinkoff=false` on the recorded chat call), turn reasoning-only replies

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

---
## Adding New Tool Documentation
When a subagent fetches documentation for a new tool:
1. Save it to `tools/<tool-name>/index.md` (multi-file) or `tools/<tool-name>.md` (small, single-concept).
2. Add an entry to this index table.
3. Include a brief description of what the document covers.
4. Add YAML frontmatter with `type` and `description`.
5. Update `log.md` with the change.
---
## Index Format
Give each row this content:
- **Tool** — the tool or technology name
- **File / Path** — relative path within this directory
- **Status** — for example, "Complete", "Partial", "Needs Update"

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

## Notable Categories
The top 50 breaks down into these groups:
* Development workflow: find-skills, grill-me, tdd, handoff, triage, prototype.
* Design and frontend: frontend-design, vercel-react-best-practices, web-design-guidelines.
* Lark office suite: 22 skills from open.feishu.cn, roughly ranks 12-35.
* Azure infrastructure: 13 skills from microsoft/azure-skills, ranks 38-50.
* Agent orchestration: agent-browser, setup-matt-pocock-skills.
`find-skills` leads by a wide margin with 2.9 million installs. The Lark suite and Azure suite dominate the middle of the list.
## SKILL.md Format
A skill is a directory that contains a `SKILL.md` file:
```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: What this skill does
---
```
The `name` field is required and lowercase. The `description` field is required. Skills load progressively: discovery loads only the metadata, activation loads the full file on match.
## 2025/2026 Trends
* The Agent Skills spec is the common standard across 20+ agents.
* Skills are write once, use everywhere.
* Registries add security audits for skill content.
* Specialized registries, such as QA, are emerging.

# Bundle Change Log
Entry law (since 2026-10-19): one dated entry = what changed + the durable
lesson, a few lines. Full incident narratives are recoverable from git
(`git log --follow omp-docs/log.md`); knowledge that outlives an entry lives
on its concept page, linked here. Never re-expand an entry in place.
## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: silence and timeouts, root-caused (Refs #32)
The humanizer's raw `fetch` to frank-zealot omitted `chat_template_kwargs.
enable_thinking: false`, so the Qwen35 hybrid *thought* instead of answering:
6.9 s of `reasoning_content`, `content: ""` — timing out the rewrite twice
(12 s dead air) and, when it did answer inside the window, speaking silence.
Root-caused by replaying the exact wire body against the live endpoint.
Fix: pin the kwarg in the request body; treat empty-content-with-reasoning as
failure (mechanical voice), not "nothing worth saying"; the menu's test phrase
fires without blocking its handler. Lesson: the harness injects thinking-off
for managed roles, but raw HTTP callers must set it themselves — 26/26 green
with three red-captured regressions.
## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: humanized narration and thinking aloud (Refs #27)
Spoken units are rewritten by the `@tiny` role (frank-zealot) under the
bundle's speech budgets before synthesis, with mechanical cleanup as fallback;
auto-speak narrates the last message's thinking blocks first; all toggles
persist. 7 new scenarios, 22 green; live smoke through real zealot + frank-tts.
## 2026-10-19 — dankvoice: segmented sequential speech
`agent_end` awaiting one whole-answer synthesis hit the harness's 30 s
extension-handler timeout — lesson: extensions must never await work that can
exceed 30 s. Ported the built-in vocalizer's utterance-splitting state machine
(boundary = `[.!?…]+` + whitespace, abbreviation/code guards, per-answer
segment budget); segments synthesize strictly sequentially. `DANKVOICE_MAX` is
now a segment budget. 17/17 in `tests/dankvoice.bats`.
## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: `/say` options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23)
`/say menu` (pi-peon-style): auto-speak, voice, PipeWire output device
(`wpctl` → `pw-play --target`), player, char cap, test phrase. Precedence
env > `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` > defaults — born from the incident where
PipeWire's remembered Bluetooth route played answers into nowhere.
## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: the cloned voices finally speak in the TUI (Refs #21)
Nothing in the harness could pronounce them: the TUI vocalizer and `omp say` gate `--voice` against the bundled Kokoro enum (`omp say --voice narrator1 "test"` → `error: Expected --voice to be one of: af_heart, …`), so frank-tts was reachable only as a file. Added `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` — `/say <text>`, `/say on|off` (narrate the final answer at `agent_end`), `/say voice|voices|stop|status` — synthesizing over the OpenAI speech route and playing through `pw-play`/`paplay`/`ffplay`, with the endpoint read from the `api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml` (no host, no secret in the file). Verified live in a real TUI session on the workstation: roster `GET /v1/audio/voices` → `narrator1, narrator2, narrator3`; `/say` produced 99,884 B / 2.08 s and 69,164 B / 1.44 s WAVs handed to the player, temp dirs cleaned afterwards; `/say on` armed the footer (`🔊 narrator1`) and each following finished turn spoke its answer (1.20 s WAV), an unknown voice name answered with the roster instead of speaking, and an `agent_end` carrying `willContinue` (the harness scheduled an auto-retry) is deliberately never narrated. Extension discovery itself proved with a probe file in `~/.omp/agent/extensions/` loaded by a fresh `omp -p` run. Reference page [dankvoice](core/dankvoice.md), registered in the core index; black-box seam `tests/dankvoice.bats` (12 tests).
The harness gates `--voice` against the bundled Kokoro enum, so frank-tts's
cloned voices were unreachable in-TUI. Added `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts`
(`/say …`) synthesizing over the OpenAI speech route, endpoint read from the
`api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml` (no host or secret in code).
## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered from dangling objects
## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered
Frank's months of GUI-built bar customizations (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar center, capsule groups g1–g4, control-cheat-sheet, thickness/font-scale/opacity styling) vanished from the live bar at 16:46. Root cause: the layout existed **only in the working tree** — the repo copy of `settings.toml` carried a stale plain layout because GUI edits hadn't been committed inside the hourly heartbeat window — and a trunk-sync session clearing the dirty tree for `origin/main` stashed it; the stash entry was subsequently destroyed (three `WIP on main` stashes within 60 s, all later dropped). Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the destroyed stash as dangling commit `7fe3ed8` (16:46:09); candidate validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before restore, clobbered file preserved to `.AGENTTRASH/`, layout restored through the symlink target and proven by screenshot, committed as `c87b378` — the durable copy the layout never had. Lessons codified into managed skills: trunk-sync must preservation-**commit** every dirty deployment path (never stash, never `stash clear`), and GUI layout edits get committed the same session they're made.
GUI-built bar customizations existed only in the working tree; a trunk-sync
stash-then-drop destroyed them. Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the
dropped stash as a dangling commit; validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME`
before restore. Lesson: GUI-written config is only durable once committed —
the motivation for the live-sync heartbeat below.
## 2026-10-18 — Fleet law: issue/PR attribution footers
Every agent-opened issue and PR body now ends with a `cwd:` + `session:` footer (session id from `/status`), in AGENTS.md of both `dank/command-center` and `dank/serverAppConfigs` (mirrored PRs). Born from the live-sync review: once the machine starts filing and committing on its own, its artifacts must trace back to the box and session that produced them.
Every agent-opened issue/PR body ends with `cwd:` + `session:` footer, in both
`dank/command-center` and `dank/serverAppConfigs` AGENTS.md: machine-made
artifacts must trace to the box and session that produced them.
## 2026-10-18 — live-sync heartbeat for machine-written paths (Refs #11)
Root-caused the month of silent divergence in the live checkout (~61 auto-learned skills on one disk only, a stranded `unexpectedStopDetection` fix, merge-refusals from dirty trees): the checkout IS the deployment, symlinks make machine writes dirty tracked files by design, and no commit law covered that churn. Added `scripts/live-sync.sh` + systemd user timer — allowlist tiers (memories, managed-skills, live config, dotfiles) auto-commit with hooks armed, merge `origin/main`, push, and reap stale `wt/*` worktrees; everything outside the allowlist is never staged, conflicts abort-and-alert. Black-box suite `tests/live-sync.bats` (9 tests). Tier law in AGENTS.md § Live-sync tiers; reference page `tools/live-sync.md` registered in the tools index.
A month of silent divergence in the live checkout proved the checkout-is-
deployment model needs a committer: `scripts/live-sync.sh` + systemd user
timer auto-commits allowlisted tiers (memories, managed-skills, live config,
dotfiles) with hooks armed, merges `origin/main`, pushes, reaps stale `wt/*`.
Non-allowlist dirt never staged; conflicts abort-and-alert. See
[tools/live-sync.md](tools/live-sync.md); tier law in AGENTS.md.
## 2026-10-18 — Fleet law: filed PRs open in Frank's browser immediately
Both repos' git rules now require it: the moment a PR is opened, `xdg-open <PR-URL>` drops a Firefox tab on the workstation (AGENTS.md § Trunk-based SDLC here; § Git Workflow step 6 in `dank/serverAppConfigs`, riding their PR #6 branch).
`xdg-open <PR-URL>` the moment a PR opens — codified in both repos' git rules.
## 2026-10-18 — Trunk law: extension route closed unmerged; direct repo alignment instead
## 2026-10-18 — Trunk law: extension route closed unmerged; direct repo alignment
Built and live-verified a cwd-scoped `before_agent_start` extension (quote probes: fires under `~/Projects`, silent elsewhere; kept as `.AGENTTRASH/trunk-law.js`). **Operator closed PR #9 unmerged** in favor of editing each repo's own AGENTS.md. Durable finding from the exploration: every context-file provider (AGENTS.md walk-up, `.omp/` dirs, CLAUDE.md) resolves at or below the repo root — a `~/Projects/AGENTS.md` for ancestor scope can never load; user-level `APPEND_SYSTEM.md` broadcasts to *all* sessions. Second finding: **serverAppConfigs never had git-flow** — its AGENTS.md mandated no branch regime at all (direct commit+push); a trunk + PR law is being added there by PR in that repo, not corrected.

root — ancestor-scope files can never load; user-level `APPEND_SYSTEM.md`
broadcasts to all sessions; serverAppConfigs never had git-flow.
## 2026-10-18 — SDLC switched to trunk-based development
`develop` retired by operator decision (single-dev repo; the branch bought nothing and cost a back-merge every release). New law in AGENTS.md § *Trunk-based SDLC*: branch off the freshest `origin/main` before every work item, PRs target `main` directly, `--no-ff` merges, tags `vX.Y.Z` straight on main. No back-merges, no release branches. The last back-merge (`527596a`) lands with this switch; the managed skill `gitflow-back-merge-plumbing` is now historical.
`develop` retired (single-dev repo). Law in AGENTS.md § Trunk-based SDLC:
branch off freshest `origin/main`, PRs target `main`, `--no-ff` merges, tags
`vX.Y.Z` on main. Managed skill `gitflow-back-merge-plumbing` is historical.
## 2026-10-18 — Sibling-vault overlap census; system docs realigned to live ground truth
Census of `omp-docs/` against `~/Projects/serverAppConfig/serverAppConfigs-docs/` (subagent + live-ssh verification) found four contradicting pairs; all OURS-side stale pages corrected, THEIRS side flagged only (their repo, their PR flow). Ground truth from read-only probes on both boxes 2026-10-18.
Census of `omp-docs/` vs `serverAppConfigs-docs` (subagents + live-ssh probes)
found four contradicting pairs; ours fixed, theirs flagged for their PR flow.
Recorded then: RTX 3090 moved Dankserver→Dankclaw 2026-09; dankserver = 2×
Radeon AI PRO R9700 (the "board swap" story was false); served models per
live units. Current state always: [/system/index.md](/system/index.md)
(27B-era zealot figures here are historical; live census 2026-10-19 below).
* **Hardware drift corrected** (`system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md` rewritten, `AGENTS.md` machine table): RTX 3090 moved Dankserver→Dankclaw 2026-09; dankserver now 2× Radeon AI PRO R9700 (7700X stays — the "board swap" story is false), 246 GiB RAM, no swap; dankclaw 121 GiB RAM + 64 GiB swap. Served models per live units: frank-archon (:7770 dankserver, radiance TP=2 iq4r), frank-dragoon (:7770 dankclaw, halogen NATIVE v2, iGPU), frank-zealot (:7771 dankclaw, llama.cpp PrismML, Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B PQ2_0, 3090). Both kernels 7.0.0-38-generic; dankclaw :7770 needs no auth.
* **Gitea pages corrected** (`tools/gitea/` index + 3 subpages): `gitea-caddy` quadlet retired — fleet Caddy fronts the domain; data tree is `/home/dank/Containers/gitea/{data,postgres,env}` (2026-09-01 standard), `/opt/gitea/` is a do-not-use leftover; LAN IP, live domain, no WAN address.
* **Pi-era pages demarcated as archive** (`pi/index.md`, `core/index.md` banners; `core/index.md` said settings.md was "Current"): `frank-default-small/large` endpoints, role tables, and 3090/4070 hardware rows now read as pi-era records. `tools/llama-cpp/index.md` fleet note modernized to the one remaining llama.cpp endpoint (zealot :7771).
* **Their-side staleness flagged, NOT edited** (for operator clarification): `Agent/OMP Harness.md` still says thresholdPercent 70 — live config is **95** (`agent/config.yml:84`); `index.md:18` says Dankserver Ubuntu 24.04 vs their own specs page 26.04; `Dankclaw/Stack.md` "current mapping (2026-09-03)" predates the ACTIVE dragoon/zealot runbooks it links beside; `index.md:548` links the superseded pi-era KB at `~/.pi/agent/docs/`.
* Consistent duplicates (no action): niri/noctalia desktop pages, Caddy reference. Divergence clarified: their "composer" = OpenWebUI chat box; ours = omp composer shape — unrelated subjects.
## 2026-10-18 — Status line rebuilt on custom segments; full-source audit
## 2026-10-18 — Status line docs truth audit (full-source re-verification)
New page [core/statusline.md](core/statusline.md) with an audit log — four
first-pass claims were false and corrected against the minified bundle + a
live screenshot matrix (context meter is `box`/`band` only; `composer.shape`
routes segment arrays; `mode` states = Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop). Bar
rebuilt on `band` + custom segments; frank-archon display name slimmed in
models.yml.
Exhaustive claim-by-claim re-audit of [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md) against the minified `dist/cli.js` bundle plus a live screenshot matrix (band × {off, percentage, embedded}, claude × off). Page carries an **Audit log** section; four first-pass claims were false and are corrected (see there): claude's rule is *not* the context meter (meter is `box`/`band` only; the "red rule" was the session-accent filler), the "Tern-only" composer-bar claim was bogus (the readout is `composer.tokenRate`, default off), `segmentOptions` are **not** gated to `preset: custom` (only the segment arrays are), and the `mode` segment's states are Plan/Prewalk/Goal/Vibe/Loop (no yolo). Page expanded with: the 7-preset defaults table, per-shape `statusAttachment`/`bottomBar` model (8 built-ins + plugin shape registry), `contextLine` per-value behavior, the 27-segment catalog with triggers/options, `segmentOptions` schema, and the full `statusLine.*`/`composer.*` knob registry. The bundle's own "(box composer only)" knob description for `contextLine` is upstream-wrong — band honors it.
## 2026-10-09 — Blankpad DE redesign: desk profiles, keybinds, Handy wiring
ServerAppConfigs-docs overlap census: flagged separately for the operator (morning report); no doc merged/changed on either side.
Per-desk niri profiles keyed by EDID long name (connector names reshuffle
between docks; identity travels) + `scripts/desk.sh`; niri 26.04 has **no
hotplug event** (`OutputConfigChanged` is only an ACK per niri-ipc) — the
autoswitch daemon diffs output sets on `WorkspacesChanged`. Keybind cheat
sheet now generated (`scripts/gen-keybinds.sh`); noctalia docs corrected to
the v5 `noctalia msg` API. Handy: niri owns autostart; open breaker —
frank-secondary answers in `reasoning_content` with empty `content`, and
Handy cannot send `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false`. 27/27 green.
## 2026-10-18 — Status line rebuilt on custom segments; frank-archon display name slimmed
Interactive tune-up of the omp status bar (grilling session, live loop: config edit → watcher repaint → niri screenshot verify). New knowledge page: [OMP Status Line Customization](/pi/statusline.md).
* **Mechanics discovered:** `leftSegments`/`rightSegments` are inert unless `preset: custom` (fleet was on `nerd` with dead arrays; `segmentOptions` *do* merge under named presets); `composer.shape` routes them — `band` merges both arrays into one row above the editor (title rides the working row), `claude` splits them into top chip + bottom strip. The context meter exists **only in `box`/`band`** — `contextLine`: `off` plain rule, `embedded` hoists the context segment into the labeled inline meter (`60% ——— × 200K`), `percentage`/`annotated` paint an unlabeled proportional rule meter (all four live-verified); every other shape's rule is a constant session-accent filler. Working row (session title + tok/s readout gated by `composer.tokenRate`, default off) is composer chrome — model/thinking can never join it. Eight composer shapes ship in the bundle; plugins can register more.
* **Final bar (`band`, after a `claude` sojourn):** left = `session_name · vim · mode · hostname · path · git(no branch text) · pr`; right cluster in array order = `model · cost · time_spent` (`context_pct` hoists out of the run to paint the labeled inline meter `60% ——— × 200K` as a flexible spacer between the groups). Cut: tok/s duplicate, clock, cache trio, `context_total`, `subagents`, `session` hash, and `token_in`/`token_out` (cumulative totals live in `/session`). `path`: logical `project/worktree` label (`stripWorkPrefix: true`, kept after a live `false` trial of the full cwd); branch text dropped (worktree branches are autogenerated), dirty badges kept.
* **models.yml:** frank-archon display `name` slimmed to `"frank-archon"` (endpoint suffix dropped; `id` untouched).
* **Out of scope noted:** worktree name generation (`wt-<date>-<hash>`) is omp-internal; possible upstream feature request.
## 2026-10-09 — Blankpad DE redesign: desk profiles, keybind rework, Handy fleet wiring
Branch `blankpad-de-redesign` (worktree `wt/de-redesign-20261009`). Full sweep + redesign of the niri/noctalia/Handy stack on blankpad.
* **Desk profiles.** `cfg/display.kdl` retired to a symlink; per-desk profiles `desk-1-home.kdl` / `desk-2-portable.kdl` declare monitors by **EDID long name** (`// requires:` lines) — connector names reshuffle between docks, identity travels. `scripts/desk.sh` = list/current/switch/cycle/match/capture; apply = relink → `niri validate` (rollback on failure) → `load-config-file` → noctalia notification. `scripts/desk-autoswitch.sh` + `blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service` watch `niri msg --json event-stream`: niri 26.04 has **no hotplug event** (`OutputConfigChanged` is only an ACK that an IPC/config output change was Applied, per niri-ipc); the daemon diffs the sorted output set carried by `WorkspacesChanged` and hot-applies the matching profile (debounced 1.5 s). Proven live with an eDP-1 off/on cycle: `[DP-2 eDP-1] → [DP-2] → [DP-2 eDP-1]`, apply + reload each time. PM1601 EDID still uncaptured (panel disconnected) — connector-keyed placeholder, `desk.sh capture` pending.
* **Keybinds.** `swap-window-left/right` on Mod+CTRL+H/L; move-column demoted to Mod+CTRL+Alt+H/L; 7 column-width presets 12.5–87.5 %; Print trio (full / gui / screen) via noctalia screenshot IPC; launcher Mod+D; Alt+Tab → noctalia window-switcher; Mod+V → clipboard panel (id verified live); Mod+Shift+D → desk cycle; Mod+Shift+Space → `handy --toggle-post-process`; lid-close → `noctalia msg session lock-and-suspend` (pairs with logind `HandleLidSwitch=ignore`). Cheat sheet now GENERATED: `scripts/gen-keybinds.sh` → `omp-docs/tools/niri/keybindings.md` (119 bindings).
* **Noctalia.** `config.toml` + `settings.toml` (lives in `~/.local/state/`, not `~/.config/`) tracked; `taskbar` widget added to bar center, applied live via `noctalia msg config-reload`. Docs corrected to the v5 `noctalia msg` API.
* **Handy.** Self-autostart killed (`~/.config/autostart/Handy.desktop` → `.AGENTTRASH`; `autostart_enabled=false`); niri owns autostart (`spawn-at-startup "handy" "--start-hidden"`). Fleet post-processing wired into the live store: provider `custom` → `http://192.168.0.143:7771/v1`, model `frank-secondary`, prompt `default_improve_transcriptions`. **Open breaker:** frank-secondary answers in `reasoning_content` and leaves `content` empty; per-request cure `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false` verified, but Handy cannot send it and the server is shared with fleet compaction — dedicated no-think port proposed. 0.9.6→0.9.8 upgrade is operator-owned (`yay -Syu handy-bin`).
* **Scripts + tests.** Two subagents died mid-run (one mid-test-write; one crashed **looping `sudo yay` without a TTY** — see next entry). Their scripts/tests were rebuilt from live-format ground truth: `tests/desk.bats` (16), `tests/gen-keybinds.bats` (6), `tests/niri-config.bats` (5, incl. real `niri validate` on the assembled base+zz tree with each desk profile active). Suite: 27/27 green.
## 2026-10-09 — Incident: agent sudo-loop tripped pam_faillock and locked out the operator's sudo
While attempting the Handy 0.9.8 install, a subagent ran `sudo yay -Syu handy-bin` in a retry loop for ~15 minutes. Harness sudo has no TTY, so every attempt logged 3 `pam_unix` auth failures; `pam_faillock` (deny=3) locked user `blank` out — the operator's own correct-password `sudo`/`pacman -Syu` began failing with "temporarily locked out", which looked exactly like a changed password.
* **No password change:** `/etc/shadow` mtime 2026-09-10 23:31, untouched; no `passwd`/`chpasswd`/`usermod` in the journal.
* **Recovery:** loop process died with the agent; `faillock --user blank --reset` (unprivileged for own user, dir `/run/faillock/blank` is 0700) cleared the counter; verified empty.
* **New law:** agents NEVER run `sudo`/`yay`/`pacman`/`pkexec` on Frank's workstations — root-requiring steps are handed to the operator as exact copy-paste commands. Codified as managed skill `faillock-sudo-lockout-recovery`.
## 2026-10-09 — Incident: agent sudo-loop tripped pam_faillock, locked out the operator
A subagent retried `sudo yay` (no TTY) for ~15 min; `pam_faillock` deny=3
locked user `blank` — correct-password sudo failed, mimicking a password
change. Recovery: `faillock --user blank --reset`. Law: agents never run
`sudo`/`yay`/`pacman`/`pkexec`; root steps go to the operator as exact
commands. Skill `faillock-sudo-lockout-recovery`.
## 2026-10-09 — Full secret audit of the command-center repo: clean
Five-layer audit of `dank/command-center` at `79e780f`, driven by the four live values in `~/.config/secrets/` (gitea, hf_token, hf_token_write, kagi_api_key) plus 21 provider shapes (sk-, hf_, gh[pousr]_, glpat-, AKIA/ASIA, xox, npm_, pypi-, AIza, JWT, PEM/OpenSSH keys, `scheme://user:pass@host` basic-auth URLs, `password|secret|api_key = <literal>` assignments). Findings printed redacted (prefix + length + sha256 prefix).
* **Live-value scan — clean.** 77 revs (5 branches, 2 tags), 765 reachable blobs, 3.4 MiB of blob text: no known live value appears in any tracked blob at any ref.
* **Whole object store, reachable *and* dangling — clean.** `git cat-file --batch-all-objects` finds 767 blobs; 2 are unreachable, never committed on any ref (`git log --all --find-object` empty). One is a 123 KB superseded memory page; the other is a 35-byte test fixture holding a synthetic `sk-` key whose body is the alphabet followed by `1234` — pattern-minted, not issued. No PEM key, no JWT, no basic-auth URL anywhere. (Quoting the literal here tripped the secret gate, which is the gate working as designed.)
* **Shape hits, all triaged benign**: `api_key="sk-no-key-required"` (llama.cpp doc placeholder), `Set password:` / `authenticate(user, password)` prose in the Authentik memory skills, and a 40-hex string in the home-config census that is a git **packfile filename** (`pack-ff7cc541….pack`), not a token.
* **Entropy layer — clean.** Zero tokens ≥ 32 chars with Shannon entropy ≥ 4.3 in HEAD blobs.
* **Payloads, not just pointers**: all 23 git-lfs wallpaper objects (81 MiB) scanned as bytes — no secret shape in any payload.
* **Quarantine list holds**: no tracked file matches `auth.json`/`trust.json`/`.env`/`*.pem`/`*.key`/`identity*`; the 42 ignored paths on disk carry no secret shape; no credential in any git config scope (local/global/system).
* **Fixed on the spot**: `~/.config/secrets/hf_token_write` was mode 0644 (world-readable) → 0600. `~/.cache/huggingface/token` (the standard HF location, holds the same value) verified 0600.
* **Known gap, not yet closed**: `.githooks/pre-commit` covers GitHub/GitLab/Slack/AWS/PEM/JWT/OpenAI-shaped `sk-`, but **not** `hf_…`, `npm_…`, `pypi-…`, `AIza…`, Stripe, Telegram, or a `scheme://user:token@host` basic-auth URL — which is exactly the shape that sat in `remote.origin.url` until today. Widening the gate is an open decision.
Five layers (live-value scan across 77 revs/765 blobs, whole object store
incl. dangling, shape triage, entropy ≥4.3, LFS payloads) — no secret in any
reachable or dangling object; quarantine list holds. Fixed `hf_token_write`
0644→0600. Open gap: the pre-commit gate lacks `hf_`/`npm_`/`pypi-`/`AIza`/
Stripe/Telegram shapes and basic-auth URLs — widening it is an open decision.
## 2026-10-09 — Gitea token moved out of every remote URL
Both workstation clones (`~/.omp` → `dank/command-center`, `~/Projects/serverAppConfig` → `dank/serverAppConfigs`) carried the Gitea HTTP token inside `remote.origin.url`, so it sat in `.git/config`, was printed by `git remote -v`, and was echoed verbatim by the git-lfs lock warning on every push.
Remotes bare; credential in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (0600) behind a global
`credential.helper store`. Trap (git 2.56.0, measured): `git
credential-store` rejects the `protocol=`/`host=` block shape the man page
shows — the store file must be one URL per line, port included. Verified with
`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`. Details: [tools/gitea/client-access.md](tools/gitea/client-access.md).
* **Cutover**: remotes are now bare (`http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/<repo>.git`); the credential lives in `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (0600) behind a **global** helper — `git config --global credential.helper 'store --file ~/.config/secrets/gitea'` — so every repo on the host authenticates from one file. `lfs.…info/lfs.locksverify true` set on `~/.omp` to silence the warning that leaked the URL.
* **The trap (git 2.56.0, measured)**: `git credential-store` will not parse the `protocol=`/`host=`/`password=` block shape that `git credential fill` accepts on stdin and that the man page shows for `~/.git-credentials`. It returns an empty `get`, and git falls through to askpass: `could not read Username for …`. The store file must be one URL per line, port included: `http://dank:<token>@192.168.0.143:3000`.
* **Verified** with prompts disabled (`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`): `git credential-store get` returns the credential, `ls-remote` reads, `push --dry-run` says `Everything up-to-date` on both repos, `git remote get-url origin` contains no `@`, and a grep for the token across `~/.gitconfig`, both `.git/config` files, and the shell rc files returns nothing.
* **Doc**: new [[client-access|client-access]] (`tools/gitea/client-access.md`) — credential file layout, the store-format trap, the verification loop, LFS lock warning, rotation procedure. Cross-linked from the gitea index and management pages.
## 2026-10-09 — Working tree reconciled: callsign renames, compaction move, gitignore quarantine
## 2026-10-09 — Working tree reconciled: callsign renames, Dankclaw compaction, gitignore quarantine
A 200-entry dirty tree (116 deleted, 73 untracked, 11 modified) sat uncommitted across several sessions. Committed as seven atomic units; nothing discarded.
* **Model ids renamed to the unit-name scheme** (`agent/models.yml`): `frank-medium → frank-archon` (dankserver :7770, 200,000 ctx / 16,384 max), `frank-large → frank-dragoon` (Dankclaw :7770, 217,088 / 45,056, `input: [text, image]`), `frank-small → frank-zealot` (Dankclaw-3090 :7771, 200,704 / 16,384). The **services keep the old names on the wire** — `/v1/models` still serves `frank-primary`, `frank-large`, `frank-secondary`; the engines accept an arbitrary request `model` id, so the rename is harness-side only. Probed live: all three chat completions return 200 with `reasoning_content`.
* **Server-side compaction moved** off `192.168.0.235:7770` to `192.168.0.143:7771` (frank-zealot's 3090), threshold 70 % → 85 %, remote streaming v2 + async on; every model's `compactionModel` points at `frank-zealot` so the wire id stays valid at the compaction endpoint. Reference integrity checked programmatically: 22 model references across `modelRoles`, `task.agentModelOverrides`, `compactionModel` — zero unresolved.
* **`.gitignore` quarantine** for runtime state that was tracked-adjacent noise: `autoresearch/`, `agent/predict/`, `local/`, `wt/`, and `agent/memories/--home-blank-.omp-wt-*` (a session inside a git worktree mints a memory bucket keyed on the ephemeral worktree path). All had zero tracked files, so the rules are purely additive — 73 untracked → 68, and the remaining 68 are real memory records that got committed.
* **Skill libraries were renamed, not lost.** `agent/managed-skills` consolidated 94 → 25 (git renders directory renames as mass delete + mass add; pre-cutover content is intact at `12c5e88`). Workstation memory skills re-bucketed by topic: `dotfile-git-workflow` → `ghostty-text-aa` + `niri-display-rotation` + `noctalia-theme`, `handy-service-mgmt` → `handy-flm-inference`, `inference-runtime` → `llama-cpp-parallelism`.
* **Display layout**: blankpad DP-2 back to landscape `3440x1440@239.999` (`transform "normal"`), HDMI-A-1 portrait bezel flipped `270 → 90`, eDP-1 re-pinned rightmost. Supersedes the 2026-09-15 portrait pin (`2baf0c0`).
* **Secrets**: `.zshrc` now reads `KAGI_API_KEY` / `HF_TOKEN` from `~/.config/secrets/*` (600-perm files) instead of carrying literals into a repo published to Gitea. The pre-commit secret gate passed on all seven commits.
200-entry dirty tree committed as seven atomic units. Harness model ids
renamed `frank-{medium,large,small}` → `frank-{archon,dragoon,zealot}` —
**services keep old names on the wire**; the engines accept any request model
id, so renames are harness-side only. Server-side compaction moved to
zealot's 3090 (threshold 70→85 %). `.gitignore` quarantine for worktree-keyed
memory buckets and runtime dirs. Skill renames are not losses: git renders
directory renames as mass delete+add; pre-cutover content intact at `12c5e88`.
## 2026-09-28 — Retired workstation purged from the knowledge base
Frank sold the client workstation. Every identifier for it is gone from this bundle: hostname, both of its LAN addresses, and its Wi-Fi SSID. The knowledge outlives the box; the machine does not.
Sold box: hostname, both LAN addresses, Wi-Fi SSID gone bundle-wide; the
knowledge distilled into [system/network.md](system/network.md) (multi-link
resolver law: a static resolver must be pinned on each *connection*) and
[tools/niri/displays.md](tools/niri/displays.md) (portrait transforms, the
three ways a multi-monitor rig breaks). Hostname stays only where it is a
lookup key (install.sh `--host`, `packages/<hostname>.pkgs`).
* **Distilled, not deleted.** The four per-host system pages carried two pieces of knowledge worth keeping and one that was not:
* `/system/network.md` (new) — LAN topology, plus the multi-link resolver law: a client with two `+DefaultRoute` links flaps its DNS, and the fix is a static resolver pinned on each *connection* (a `resolved.conf` `DNS=` line is only a per-link fallback). Keeps the flush-caches verification loop, because one successful `dig` proves nothing on a flapping resolver.
* `/tools/niri/displays.md` (new) — the multi-monitor rig: portrait transforms, absolute positions, the auto-placed third panel, the iGPU render-node pin, and the three ways it breaks (duplicate output blocks, positions that do not reflow, a mode the panel cannot drive).
* Dropped: the machine's own spec sheet and quick-facts table. The OS and userspace facts they repeated already live in `tools/cachyos.md`.
* **Mechanical scrub** across the rest of the bundle: indexes, tool and research pages, the inventory census, the changelog, one generated HTML report, and four managed skills. Facts kept, names dropped — `install.sh`'s `--host` case list and the `packages/<hostname>.pkgs` filename stay, because the hostname is the lookup key there.
* `AGENTS.md` and `README.md` keep a nameless "workstation" row so the fleet tables still describe the class of box without advertising a machine that is no longer Frank's.
* Out of scope by decision: `agent/memories/**` (past-session records the learn pipeline rewrites) and the retired pages' history — they are recoverable from `.AGENTTRASH/20260928-retired-workstation/` and from git.
## 2026-09-01 — Retry backoff and thinking default
* **Retry backoff**: configured Pi's automatic agent-level retries in `settings.json` with a 10-second base delay, producing 10s, 20s, and 40s delays across three retries.
* **Thinking default**: set `settings.json` `defaultThinkingLevel` to `medium`. `models.json` has no supported per-model default-thinking field; Pi applies this global default to the configured models.
## 2026-09-01 — Retry backoff and thinking default (pi era)
Pi `settings.json`: 10 s base retry backoff (10/20/40 s), `defaultThinkingLevel:
medium` (no per-model thinking field exists in `models.json`).
## 2026-08-28 — KB rebuilt to OKF v0.1; live-verified fleet facts
* **Creation**: the whole `omp-docs/` bundle was copied from the legacy `~/.pi/agent/docs` tree and rebuilt as a git-tracked, OKF v0.1-conformant knowledge base inside the new `command-center` repo (repo root = live agent dir; the checkout *is* the deployment). Every checkable claim was re-verified against the live fleet (read-only probes); unverifiable claims are tagged `unverified` in frontmatter.
* **Update — hardware facts corrected**: Dankserver is a **Ryzen 7 7700X + RTX 3090** (not Strix Halo); Strix Halo (gfx1151) is **Dankclaw**. RAM, storage, kernel, and network facts were probed live and corrected across `system/`.
* **Update — conformance pass**: concept-in-disguise indexes promoted to `<dirname>.md` concept files (identity = path, per spec); index.md files stripped of frontmatter (indexes carry none); all wikilinks and relative links resolved or repointed; `scripts/kb-lint.sh` (OKF conformance + link-integrity linter) exits 0 on the bundle. Vendored `references/okf-spec.md` is exempt from link-lint — its example paths are illustrations, not links.
* **Update — inventory**: home-config census (7 orphaned configs, 10 prune-candidates) recorded under `inventory/` for the pruning session; zero deletions performed. Legacy `~/.pi` tree left untouched and frozen.
* **Deferred to operator** (decisions, not facts): chezmoi source layout (`research/chezmoi-evaluation.md` recommends a separate chezmoi repo) and the permanent secrets tool (`research/secrets-for-agents.md`; interim = pre-commit secret gate + quarantine list; top candidate sops+age). Gitea Projects unit is disabled instance-wide, so the kanban board is a one-time web-UI setup for the operator.
`omp-docs/` copied from legacy `~/.pi/agent/docs`, rebuilt as git-tracked OKF
v0.1 (checkout *is* the deployment); unverifiable claims tagged `unverified`.
Conformance pass promoted concept-in-disguise indexes, stripped index
frontmatter, resolved all links; `scripts/kb-lint.sh` exits 0. Hardware facts
were corrected *then* (3090-on-dankserver since moved — see 2026-10-18).
Inventory census recorded under `inventory/` for the pruning session.
## 2026-08-23 — Homepage deployed to production; Caddy KB doc
* **Homepage is live on Dankclaw.** `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw` deploys the static files to `/srv/homepage`, installs the status checker (systemd timer, every 3 min, writes `status.json`), writes `deployed.js` (the last master deployment datetime), renders the Caddyfile (both basicauth hashes from the host `.env`), reloads Caddy, and checks health. Verified end-to-end: `/admin/` (operator) + all shared files serve 200 under the operator credential; `/` and `/admin/` 401 without/wrong credentials; the LLM is healthy.
* **Caddyfile auth design (the hard-won fix).** Caddy *sorts* top-level directives, so a `rewrite` runs before a `basicauth`; the rewrite changed `/admin/` to `/admin.html` and the path-based auth matchers then saw the rewritten path, applying the wrong (family) auth block — the operator password 401'd. Fix: serve each page from its own `handle` block (which preserves file order, so the auth is checked on the original path): `handle /admin*` (operator only), `handle @data` (shared data + assets, family OR operator, so the admin page's fetches reuse the operator credential), and a catch-all `handle` (family). Also: a `handle` inline matcher is a single token (multi-path needs a named matcher); a leading `@name <directive>` is parsed as a matcher *definition* (re-defines `@name`).
* **Caddy mount fix.** The caddy container mounted the repo's `shared/homepage` (static source) to `/srv/homepage`; the generated files (`status.json`, `deployed.js`) are written to the host's `/srv/homepage`. Pointed the mount at the host's `/srv/homepage` so the generated files serve. A compose change needs a container *recreate* (not a reload) — `podman compose up -d caddy` (the deploy skips the compose restart, so this is manual).
* **Caddy KB doc** (operator request: read the docs before guessing at syntax): new `caddy/` section in this bundle — [[caddyfile|caddyfile]] (`caddy/caddyfile.md`) + `caddy/index.md`, cross-linked from the root `index.md`. Grounded in caddyserver.com (fetched 2026-08-23) + a researcher subagent brief.
* **Tests:** 116 green (was 112; +4 for the Caddyfile handle design + the `status.json` 0644 perms). The local `caddy validate` test is skipped (no local caddy binary); the rendered config is validated on the target via the porkbun image before each deploy.
Homepage live on Dankclaw via `scripts/deploy.sh` (status checker timer,
deployed.js, rendered basicauth hashes, health check). Hard-won Caddy lesson:
top-level directives are *sorted*, so `rewrite` runs before `basicauth` and
auth matchers saw rewritten paths — serve each page from its own `handle`
block to preserve order; a `handle` inline matcher is a single token; a
leading `@name <directive>` parses as a matcher definition. Now documented on
[caddy/caddyfile.md](caddy/caddyfile.md). A compose mount change needs a
container *recreate*, not a reload. 116 tests green.
## 2026-08-23 — Homepage design settled (grilling complete)
* **All 38 open questions (Q6–Q43) answered.** The homepage design is now fully settled. Full record: `serverAppConfigs/docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md` (final decisions + the deltas) and `docs/Infrastructure/Homepage.md`.
* **Key deltas from the initial recommendations:** the probe method is **per service** (`tcp` or `http`); the probe timeout is **5 s**; the layout is **TUI-style panels** (a grid), not a flat list; styling is **toggleable** (full theme default, a toggle to bare unstyled HTML); **do not alter the user's cursor**; **no client-side auto-refresh** (read `status.json` once on load); the footer shows the **last master deployment datetime** (not last-check); the deploy is **git-driven** (master = deployed state); the build is **full TDD**.
* **Per-service docs workstream:** each service gets a `/docs/<svc>/` page (not `/usage/`), written as a **how-to for a regular user** (no maintenance details), password-protected by the same auth as its homepage section, built as each service goes active. The existing reference docs in `docs/` are NOT linked from the homepage (they may contain secrets).
* **Build complete (all 6 slices, full TDD, 112 tests green):** 1 the checker core (tcp/wip/atomic write/generated_at), 2 the http probe, 3 the real `services.json` + schema, 4 the pages + theme + toggle, 5 the Caddyfile auth split (root vs `/admin/`), 6 the git-driven deploy. All committed + pushed. The render logic is verified with a Node DOM shim (9 user panels, correct summary, correct footer datetime).
* **To go live:** the operator adds `CADDY_ADMIN_HASH` (the operator-only password, `caddy hash-password`) to the Dankclaw `.env`, then runs `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw`. Until then the admin hash stays a placeholder. The per-service `/docs/` pages, the *arr stack, and the optional `/how/` page remain separate threads.
* **Correction (media stack):** the Dankserver media stack (RomM, Copyparty, Jellyfin, Plex, the *arr) is **UP** — it runs as **bare processes/services, not yet migrated to podman containers**. The 2026-08-22 "down / missing `.env`" finding was wrong: I was probing for the compose stack, which is not how it runs yet. Do not treat it as an outage and do not probe it as down. Its podman migration is a separate, future effort.
All 38 open questions answered; full record lives in serverAppConfigs
(`docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md`). Key deltas: per-service
tcp/http probes, 5 s timeout, TUI-style panel grid, no client auto-refresh,
git-driven deploy, full TDD. Correction recorded: the Dankserver media stack
runs as bare processes, not containers — never probe it as a compose stack.
## 2026-08-22 — vllmScripts merged into serverAppConfigs
* **Repo merge**: the `vllmScripts` repo (LLM inference fleet: serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, deploy runbook, research docs) is merged into `serverAppConfigs` with its full git history (two-parent import commit, then reorganization: `docs/` → `docs/LLM/`, `scripts/` merged, `old/` for retired PP/NPU-era scripts). One repo, one checkout per host (`/home/dank/serverAppConfigs`), one `scripts/deploy.sh` covering both workloads per target (podman stack + LLM service relink/restart + both health checks).
* **Units**: frank-default-{small,large,npu}.service now point at `/home/dank/serverAppConfigs/scripts/...`. The retired target checkouts (`/home/dank/vLLM` on Dankserver, `/home/dank/vllmScripts` on Dankclaw) are to be archived on the hosts during the production deploy.
* **Secrets**: the live sudo password that the old vllmScripts AGENTS.md documented in plaintext is NOT carried into the merged repo (a bats leak-check guards it). It remains in the git history of both repos on the LAN Gitea — rotation recommended.
* **KB links**: `system/index.md`, `system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md`, and the root `index.md` updated — the "sibling knowledge bases" section is now a single sibling (serverAppConfigs, which contains the LLM fleet KB at `docs/LLM/index.md`).
* **Port move**: `frank-default-large` (dankclaw) moved from `:52625` to `:7770` (operator request: the primary inference server sits on the standard llama.cpp port). Both LLM services now listen on `:7770`, distinguished by host. `models.json` (`llamacpp (dankclaw)`) and the OpenWebUI quadlet (`OPENAI_API_BASE_URL`) re-pointed to `:7770`. `pi/models.md` updated.
* **Homepage design (grilling)**: the `serverAppConfigs` homepage (`docs/Infrastructure/Homepage.md`) is WIP — the Caddy site is live (basicauth 401, `:80` 302) but `/srv/homepage/` is not deployed. Settled design: a single site on Dankclaw (root = user services, `/admin/` = admin services behind a second operator-only password, optional `/how/` tourist page). Status is checked **server-side** — a systemd-timer checker (every 3 min) probes each backend `host:port` and writes a same-origin `status.json`; the page reads only that file (the client-side-ping design is blocked by cross-origin + mixed-content + auth). Full decision log + 38 open questions (Q6–Q43) in `docs/Infrastructure/Homepage Design Grilling.md`. A terminal-TUI-styled HTML progress report was generated for the operator to review and answer the open questions. Full-stack baseline verified: Dankclaw fully up; the Dankserver media stack is down (only Calibre-Web + the LLM are up; no `.env` on the target).
Full-history two-parent import; one repo, one checkout per host, one
`deploy.sh`. The plaintext sudo password from old docs was NOT carried over
(a bats leak-check guards it); it remains in both repos' history on the LAN
Gitea — rotation recommended.
## 2026-08-21 — Fleet ops: passwordless sudo, Hermes SSH keys, sibling KB links
## 2026-08-21 — Fleet ops: passwordless sudo, Hermes SSH keys
* **Passwordless sudo**: added `/etc/sudoers.d/dank-nopasswd` (`dank ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL`) on both Dankserver and Dankclaw. Verified `sudo -n true` on both. The pre-existing drop-ins (`frank-small` on Dankserver; `frank-large` + `frank-ling` on Dankclaw) grant per-command NOPASSWD for the frank restart scripts and remain in place.
* **Hermes SSH keys**: the Hermes Agent (podman container `hermes`, project `dankclaw` in `serverAppConfigs`, gateway drops to container uid 10000 = host uid 109999, HOME `/opt/data` on a podman volume) now has a dedicated ed25519 key at `/opt/data/.ssh/id_ed25519` (`hermes-agent@dankclaw`) plus an SSH config for `dankclaw` (192.168.0.143), `dankserver` (192.168.0.235), and the workstation. The public key is in `dank`'s `authorized_keys` on all three machines. Verified from inside the container as the hermes user: all three `ssh <host> hostname` calls succeed.
* **Sibling KB links**: `system/index.md`, `system/dankserver.md`, `system/dankclaw.md`, and the root `index.md` now link the two sibling knowledge bases on the workstation: `~/Projects/vllmScripts/` (inference fleet scripts + runbook, index `docs/index.md`) and `~/Projects/serverAppConfigs/` (Podman deploy configs for both servers, index `docs/index.md`).
`/etc/sudoers.d/dank-nopasswd` on both servers (per-command drop-ins remain);
dedicated ed25519 key for the Hermes container, verified into all three
machines.
## 2026-08-19 — pi-web-access: SearXNG endpoint re-pointed to dankclaw
## 2026-08-19 — pi-web-access: SearXNG endpoint re-pointed to dankclaw (pi era)
* **Config**: `~/.pi/web-search.json` — `searxngBaseUrl` moved from the dead `192.168.0.235:8081` (dankserver, connection refused) to `192.168.0.143:8081` (dankclaw; verified live: HTTP 200, 25 JSON results, 0.8 s). Deleted the redundant `provider: "all"` (the `searchProvider: "searxng"` pin already wins in v0.22). Added `maxInlineContentChars: 50000`. Kept `workflow: "none"` and `ssrf.allowRanges: ["192.168.0.0/24"]`.
* **Docs**: `pi/packages/pi-web-access.md` bumped 0.14.0 → 0.22.0 (18-provider chain, config block, active-setup note, GitHub-clone section, yt-dlp present). `agentic-web-research/` SearXNG endpoint references repointed `.235` → `.143` (index, searxng-tuning, vpn-routing).
* **Note**: pi-web-access caches `web-search.json` in memory per process — the new endpoint takes effect on the next Pi session, not the running one.
* **Packages**: `yt-dlp` installed on the workstation (2026.07.04) — YouTube frame extraction now works; `ffmpeg` (n9.0.1) was already present.
`searxngBaseUrl` moved off dead `.235:8081` to `.143:8081`; pi caches
`web-search.json` per process — new endpoint needs a new session. `yt-dlp`
installed (2026.07.04).
## 2026-08-19 — SearXNG + Gluetun bring-up on dankclaw
Field notes from standing up the search stack (gluetun + searxng + valkey) and confirming agentic JSON search. All four are operational; the SearXNG trio runs via podman-compose (not yet boot-persistent quadlet).
Durable field notes (now on concept pages — see
[agentic-web-research/vpn-routing.md](agentic-web-research/vpn-routing.md),
[searxng-tuning.md](agentic-web-research/searxng-tuning.md),
[engineering/infra/containers.md](engineering/infra/containers.md)):
manual-WireGuard Proton needs `VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom` + the single-peer
`WIREGUARD_*` env names (not `protonvpn`, not `WIREGUARD_PEERS_*`); gluetun
ships no curl and `:8000` is the control server, not health; the limiter's
JSON cap (`API_MAX=4`/hour) is hardcoded Python — `pass_ip` is the only
bypass; rootless podman strips client IPs on published ports, so SearXNG must
sit behind Caddy for XFF; quadlet generator rejects `CapAdd=`/`Device=` and
generated units enable via `[Install] WantedBy=default.target`. ComfyUI on
gfx1151: build on AMD's ROCm base and filter the torch family out of
ComfyUI's requirements or you clobber the gfx1151 kernels.
* **Gluetun manual WireGuard**: a specific-server ProtonVPN config (private key + peer + endpoint) uses `VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom`, NOT `protonvpn`. The `protonvpn` provider is account/token-based and rejects a manually-set endpoint with `endpoint port is set`. Current Gluetun uses the single-peer model: `WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY`, `WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_IP`, `WIREGUARD_ENDPOINT_PORT`, `WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES` (not the old `WIREGUARD_PEERS_*` names). DNS is Gluetun's own `DNS_*` vars, not the WG `DNS` line.
* **Gluetun healthcheck**: the image has no `curl`, and its `:8000` status server 404s on every path. Use `test: ["CMD","sh","-c","test -e /sys/class/net/tun0"]` — tun0 exists only while the tunnel is connected.
* **SearXNG trusted group**: lives in `limiter.toml` (not `settings.yml`). A direct hit on the published port has no `X-Forwarded-For` header, so the bot-detection cannot resolve a client and returns 429 regardless of `pass_ip`. SearXNG must be reached through Caddy (which sets XFF); `trusted_proxies` then needs the podman bridge subnet (dynamic in rootless — pin the network CIDR) so Caddy's source is trusted for XFF extraction.
* **Rootless podman gotchas**: short image names do not resolve (no unqualified-search registries) — qualify with `docker.io/`. Binding privileged ports (Caddy 80/443) needs the one-time sysctl `net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80`.
* **Repo**: `serverAppConfigs` — added `shared/searxng/limiter.toml` + test seam, wired it into `deploy.sh`, fixed the Gluetun compose (peer env vars, qualified images, tun0 healthcheck), documented the rootless-port + Caddy/XFF gotchas, and skipped the ComfyUI GPU tests (migration pending).
* **Boot-persistence (quadlet)**: converted the trio from podman-compose to quadlet so it survives reboot. searxng sets `Network=gluetun.container` (reuses gluetun's netns → exits the tunnel); gluetun + valkey join a pinned `searxng.network` (10.89.2.0/24). Deployed via `scripts/deploy-searxng-quadlet.sh`. Field gotchas (also in `engineering/infra/containers.md`): the generator rejects `CapAdd=`/`Device=` (use `AddCapability=`/`AddDevice=`) and silently skips the unit; generated units cannot be `systemctl enable`d — `[Install] WantedBy=default.target` is the enablement (`is-enabled` = "generated"), and linger makes them boot-start. Verified: all three `is-enabled` = generated, tunnel up (US-WA), agentic JSON search returns 27 on-topic results.
* **open-webui moved to dankclaw (quadlet)**: the old open-webui was a bare container on Dankserver (:3000) pointing at a dead `:9090` backend. It now runs on Dankclaw as a boot-persistent quadlet (`scripts/deploy-open-webui-quadlet.sh`): CPU image `:main` (Dankclaw is CPU-only), isolated on `Network=slirp4netns`, published `:3005` (:3000 is Gitea's HTTP port), data at `/home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data`. Default LLM backend is the local vLLM (`host.containers.internal:52625`). The Dankserver `searxng` + `open-webui` bare containers were retired (data dirs preserved). `podman inspect <name>` can match an IMAGE, not just a container — a removed container still "exists" to inspect if its image remains; use `podman ps -a --filter name=` to check containers.
* **Model/port mapping corrected (live, 2026-08-19)**: the fleet endpoints are the REVERSE of the 2026-08-17 note. Live truth (probed `/v1/models`): `frank-default-large` is on **Dankclaw :52625** (vLLM, completion) and `frank-default-small` is on **Dankserver :7770** (llama.cpp FastMTP, completion+multimodal). The `serverAppConfigs` docs (Stack, OpenWebUI) were corrected; the sibling `vllmScripts` KB still carries the old mapping and should be updated there.
* **SearXNG 429 root cause (the "diva")**: the limiter's JSON cap is `API_MAX = 4` requests/IP/hour and that constant is **hardcoded in Python** (`searx/botdetection/ip_limit.py`), NOT settable in `limiter.toml`. The only bypass is `pass_ip` (SearXNG's `filter_request` returns before `ip_limit` runs when the IP is in `pass_ip`). Second gotcha: **rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits** — a request to the published port reaches the container with a slirp/bridge source (`10.88.x`/`10.89.x`), never the real client; only Caddy's `X-Forwarded-For` restores it. So even a LAN-IP curl 429'd. Fix: expand `pass_ip` to loopback (`127.0.0.1/32`, `::1`) + the host's private podman/slirp ranges (`10.88.0.0/16`, `10.89.0.0/16`) + the LAN. Verified: 20 concurrent JSON searches → all 200 (real results), while a spoofed public IP (8.8.8.8) still 429s (limiter still armed). The config file is root-owned (uid of the rootless podman namespace) — update with a one-off `sudo cp` + `systemctl --user restart searxng.service`.
* **ComfyUI GPU (gfx1151) — DONE (Option 1/B)**: the deferred GPU ComfyUI is now built and running. It was previously a bare CPU venv (`/home/dank/ComfyUI`, py3.14, `torch 2.13.0+cu130` with no NVIDIA → CPU fallback). Now it's a **container** `comfyui-rocm:gfx1151` built from `dankclaw/Containerfile.comfyui` on AMD's `rocm/vllm:rocm7.12.0_gfx1151_..._py3.12_pytorch_2.9.1` base (the only torch build where `torch.cuda.is_available()=True` on the Strix Halo APU). Key gotchas: (1) the base image already ships the ROCm torch/torchvision/torchaudio, so the Containerfile must **skip the torch family** from ComfyUI's `requirements.txt` (an unpinned `torch` would clobber the gfx1151 kernels) — filter with `grep -viE '^(torch|torchvision|torchaudio)([^a-z]|$)'`. (2) **rootless podman cannot `--group-add render`** (gid 990 is outside the subgid range 100000+); GPU access comes from the `/dev/kfd`+`/dev/dri` passthrough checked host-side (the run user is already in `render`), so add only the `video` group. Verified: `/system_stats` → `cuda:0 Radeon 8060S`, logs show `AMD arch: gfx1151` + active HIP backend. Boot-persistent via a user systemd unit running `podman compose up -d comfyui` (old venv unit saved as `comfyui.service.venv.bak`). The 4 `comfyui_rocm.bats` tests are un-skipped (the group test now asserts video present + render ABSENT).
## 2026-08-17 — Fleet redo + vLLM tool calling (pi era)
## 2026-08-17 — Fleet redo + vLLM tool calling
Fleet moved off the pipeline-parallel + NPU topology; Quark W8A8 quant chosen
over the Avesed INT8 for clean Qwen3 XML tool calls.
* **Update**: `pi/models.md` — providers rewritten for the fleet redo: `llamacpp (dankserver)` at :7770 and `vllm (dankclaw)` at :52625; model selection strategy and live defaults brought in line with the new topology and the Quark W8A8 model.
* **Context**: the Frank fleet moved off the pipeline-parallel + NPU topology. `frank-default-large` (llama.cpp FastMTP, IQ4_XS) is on Dankserver; `frank-default-small` (vLLM ROCm, nameistoken Qwen3.6-35B-A3B Quark W8A8 INT8) is on Dankclaw with ngram spec and tool calling. The Avesed INT8 quant's tool-call XML fidelity was poor; the Quark quant follows the Qwen3 XML format cleanly.
## 2026-08-16 — Gitea boot-persistence fix (dankclaw)
`unattended-upgrades` reboot exposed that the compose-era Gitea had no
systemd units (~1 h down). Stack rewritten as quadlet (names, `systemd-gitea`
network, linger + `WantedBy=default.target`, app.ini env-override gotcha, UID
100999 ownership) across `tools/gitea/*`; `podman generate systemd` marked
deprecated in [engineering/infra/containers.md](engineering/infra/containers.md).
## 2026-08-16
## 2026-08-13 — Pi subagent limits recorded (pi era)
### Gitea Boot-Persistence Fix (dankclaw)
Effective caps: globalConcurrencyLimit 2, parallel.maxTasks 8 / concurrency 4,
maxSubagentDepth 2, turnBudget 30; no per-model limit. See
[pi/packages/pi-subagents.md](pi/packages/pi-subagents.md).
* **Incident**: `unattended-upgrades` rebooted dankclaw at 15:01. The legacy podman-compose Gitea stack had no systemd units, so rootless podman did not auto-start the containers. Gitea was down ~1 hour.
* **Update**: `tools/gitea/index.md`, `architecture.md`, `management.md`, `data-persistence.md` — rewritten for the quadlet-managed stack: container/unit names, the `systemd-gitea` network (DNS-enabled), boot persistence (linger + `WantedBy=default.target`), the app.ini env-override gotcha, UID 100999 ownership, incident log.
* **Update**: `engineering/infra/containers.md` — marked `podman generate systemd` deprecated (podman 5.7), documented Quadlet with a field-tested gotcha list (default network DNS off, `[Service] EnvironmentFile=` for `${VAR}` expansion, unit naming, bind-mount UID mapping).
## 2026-08-11 — Engineering research area; skills leaderboard verified
## 2026-08-13
Created `engineering/` (SDLC, agent instruction files, stacks, infra,
plugins, skills ecosystem, Signal remote) via parallel research fleet.
Skills leaderboard replaced with the ranked list from the skills.sh API
(zero-based pagination, 200-skill pages).
### Pi Subagents Limits
## 2026-08-11 — Agentic web research section; exhaustive bundle audit
* Added a "Parallel Execution and Limits" section to `pi/packages/pi-subagents.md`.
* Documented the effective values: `globalConcurrencyLimit` 2 (from `extensions/subagent/config.json`), `parallel.maxTasks` 8, `parallel.concurrency` 4, `maxSubagentSpawnsPerSession` unlimited, `maxSubagentDepth` 2, and `turnBudget.maxTurns` 30.
* Noted that no per-model limit exists; all caps are global to a run or a session.
Created `agentic-web-research/` (8 pages) and rewrote them on 2025/2026
evidence (SearXNG valkey deployment, real engine defaults, limiter budgets,
Gluetun pattern, open-model claim triage, MCP transports). Audit: 154+
wikilinks resolved, dead external links fixed, `MemorySleepMode=deep`
verified valid (systemd 256+), ASD-STE100 style pass. `AGENTS.md` created as
the system behavior contract.
## 2026-08-11 (continued)
## 2026-08-06 — Link fixes; ComfyUI docs; major documentation overhaul
### Engineering Research — New Area
Fixed 15 broken wikilinks (missing frontmatter) + title mismatches → zero
broken. Added ComfyUI pages, per-host system docs, pi config tree, tools
entries; orphaned root duplicates moved to `.AGENTTRASH/`.
* Created the `engineering/` research area: SDLC and tooling, agent instruction files, language and framework stacks, infrastructure and cloud, pi plugins, skills ecosystem, and Signal remote control.
* Ran a parallel research fleet (scout + 6 researchers) grounded in current 2025/2026 web sources.
## 2026-07-18 — Maintenance tooling
### Skills Leaderboard — Live Verification
Expanded `references/okf-maintenance.md` (cross-links, health metrics,
troubleshooting); created `core/log.md` and `.okf/config.yaml`.
* Queried the skills.sh API (`GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}`) for the authoritative top 50 skills by all-time installs.
* Replaced the inferred category table in `engineering/skills-ecosystem.md` with the verified ranked list.
* Noted the API’s zero-based pagination and 200-skill page size for future queries.
## 2026-01-15 — OKF conversion
## 2026-08-11 (continued)
### Agentic Web Research — Grounded Revision
* Ran a parallel research fleet (7 researchers + 2 scouts) for current 2025-2026 evidence on SearXNG tuning, VPN split-routing, agentic search, open models, research orchestration, and MCP.
* Rewrote all 8 `agentic-web-research/` pages to match verified facts and the local topology: SearXNG at `192.168.0.235:8081`, llama.cpp inference on `7770` (dankserver/dankclaw) and `8080` (local-ornith), main model `openrouter/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`.
* SearXNG: corrected to Valkey deployment, real engine defaults (DuckDuckGo/Wikipedia/Google News active, Google inactive, Bing disabled), limiter budgets, current `outgoing` defaults.
* VPN: added Gluetun as the recommended pattern, corrected OpenVPN container joins, added `source_ips`/`network: ipv4`.
* Open models: clarified Llama 4 claims (10M ctx = Scout only, single-H100 needs INT4, "beats GPT-4o" is Meta-only), added Qwen2.5-VL-7B as best self-hostable vision model.
* Web agents: corrected the Browser Use "87.4%" claim (managed Cloud variant, not open-source; peer-reviewed 44.5% for CUA), added Skyvern.
* MCP: updated transports (stdio + Streamable HTTP, legacy SSE), current reference servers, added SearXNG MCP, tightened security rules.
### Exhaustive Bundle Audit
* Link audit: resolved all 154+ wikilinks by frontmatter title — **0 broken wikilinks**. Fixed relative-link base errors in `core/index-doc.md`, `packages/index.md`, `pi-web-access.md`, `llama-cpp/setup.md`, `npx-skills/skill-commands.md`, `packages/pi-browser-use/index.md`.
* External URL audit: fixed dead links (SearXNG limiter path, earendil-works/pi blob URLs, AYayOS/qs -> outfoxxed/quickshell, badlogic/pi-mono -> earendil-works/pi).
* Factual fixes: `core/settings.md` stale JSON (defaultProvider/model/thinkingLevel/changelog-version), `pi/models.md` dankclaw auth, `Sleep-Fix-Guide.md` kernel 7.1.3 -> 7.1.4.
* Verified (did not change) `MemorySleepMode=deep`: it is a valid systemd 256+ option.
* ASD-STE100 style pass: removed contractions, banned `may`, and prose semicolons across research/tools/pi docs.
* Added OKF index frontmatter to `core/index.md` and `skills/index.md`.
* Added a "Pi-peon is installed" note to the npx skills ecosystem table and a port-7770 system note to llama.cpp docs.
### Agentic Web Research Section
* Created `agentic-web-research/` — seven new concept pages plus index covering self-hosted web agents, SearXNG tuning, VPN routing, agentic search practices, open models, research effectiveness, and model context protocol.
* Expanded via parallel research: concrete BM25/Pruning/LLM content filters, credibility heuristics, failure-mode guardrails, MCP server and transport guidance.
* Added the section to `index.md` under a new `## [Agentic Web Research]` heading.
* Linked `pi/packages/pi-web-access.md` to the new section.
### System Instruction File
* Created `AGENTS.md` — system behavior contract with a dedicated layer on parallel subagent execution (one `subagent` call with `tasks` + `concurrency`).
### Bundle Audit
* Verified all 154 wikilinks resolve (zero broken).
* Removed stale empty `Alienware M16a2 Sleep/Wake Issues.md` duplicate into `.AGENTTRASH`.
* ran ASD-STE100 style pass: converted `should` to imperative or `must`, and `e.g.` to `for example` across 10 files.
* Removed stale `frank-default-omni` model references and corrected dankclaw port `13305` to `8080` per commit `15d4af4`.
* **Resolved**: the live config is authoritative. Updated both llama.cpp servers to port `7770` and set the default provider to `openrouter` (deepseek) per `settings.json`. Dankserver/dankclaw now 7770; main session default is openrouter.
## 2026-08-06 (continued)
### Link Fixes
* Fixed 15 broken wikilinks — added missing YAML frontmatter to `ghostty/index.md`, `tmux/index.md`, `linux-power-management/index.md`, `gitea/index.md`, `gitea/architecture.md`, `gitea/data-persistence.md`, `gitea/management.md`
* Fixed title mismatches: `OKF v0.1 Specification` → `Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.1 Specification`, `Pi Settings` → `Pi Settings System (settings.json)`, `Alienware M16a2 Sleep/Wake Issues` → `Alienware M16a2 Linux Sleep/Wake Issues`, `Architecture Details` → `Gitea Architecture`, `Data Persistence` → `Gitea Data Persistence`, `Management Guide` → `Gitea Management`
* Zero broken links remaining (47 links verified)

Pi extends its functionality through npm packages installed via `pi install`. Each package provides extensions, skills, prompts, or themes.
Pi extended itself through npm packages (`pi install npm:<name>`), each
bundling extensions, skills, prompts, or themes. The harness is retired

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

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

# Skills Ecosystem
The open agent-skills ecosystem is a set of registries over the shared
[Agent Skills standard](/skills/agent-skills.md), installed with the
[Skills CLI](/skills/skills-cli.md).
## Registries
| Registry | Focus |
|----------|-------|
| [skills.sh](https://skills.sh) | Primary registry and all-time install leaderboard. |
| [agentskill.sh](https://agentskill.sh) | Broad directory/marketplace. |
| [officialskills.sh](https://officialskills.sh) | Skills from major organizations. |
| [qaskills.sh](https://qaskills.sh) | QA and testing skills. |
## skills.sh leaderboard API
Fetch the all-time ranking programmatically:
```bash
curl 'https://skills.sh/api/skills/all-time/0'
```
Response is `{ skills, total, hasMore, page }`. Pagination is **zero-based**,
**200 skills per page** (`GET /api/skills/all-time/{page}`). Each entry carries
`source`, `skillId`, `name`, `installs`, `weeklyInstalls` (last ~8 weeks), and
`isOfficial`. Verified live 2026-10-19: page 0 returned 200 entries,
`total` 9909, `hasMore` true.
## Install snapshot (2026-10-19, live)
Top 10 by all-time installs, queried from the API above:
| # | Skill | Source | Installs |

| 2 | `grill-me` | mattpocock/skills | 1,387,557 |
| 3 | `grill-with-docs` | mattpocock/skills | 1,188,473 |
| 4 | `agent-browser` | vercel-labs/agent-browser | 1,170,738 |
| 5 | `improve-codebase-architecture` | mattpocock/skills | 1,133,991 |

| 8 | `hyperframes` | heygen-com/hyperframes | 1,063,942 |
| 9 | `setup-matt-pocock-skills` | mattpocock/skills | 1,024,734 |
| 10 | `handoff` | mattpocock/skills | 1,008,869 |
`mattpocock/skills` dominates the workflow/design middle of the board; a single
`find-skills` out-installs the next several combined. Vendor suites (Lark, Azure)
that filled ranks 12-50 in the 2026-08-12 snapshot have since dropped out of the
head, so this page keeps only a live top-10 rather than a full 50-row table that
rots between queries. Re-query the API above for a current census.

# Npx Skills — Distribution and Installation
In the pi coding agent ecosystem, **"npx skills"** refers to the distribution and installation pattern for agent skills through npm packages. Skills are the content (SKILL.md + scripts); pi packages are the delivery mechanism (npm tarball with a `pi` manifest).
---
## The Two-Layer Model
```
npm package (tagged pi-package)
├── pi.skills manifest → points to ./skills/
└── skills/
├── brave-search/SKILL.md
├── browser-tools/SKILL.md
└── tdd-workflow/SKILL.md
```
---
## The Agent Skills Specification
Pi implements the [Agent Skills standard](https://agentskills.io), which defines:
- A **frontmatter block** (YAML) at the top of `SKILL.md` with required `name` and `description` fields
- A **Markdown body** with the skill's instructions
- Optional subdirectories: `scripts/`, `references/`, `assets/`
The specification is **cross-agent-compatible**: skills written for pi work with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp, Droid, and others.
---
## How Skills Work in Pi
1. **At startup**, pi scans all configured skill locations and extracts skill names and descriptions
2. **The system prompt** includes available skills in XML format
3. **When a task matches**, the agent uses `read` to load the full SKILL.md
4. **The agent follows the instructions**, using relative paths to reference scripts and assets
This is **progressive disclosure**: only descriptions are always in context, full instructions load on-demand.
---
## Installing Skills via NPM / Npx
### Method 1: Direct `pi install` (recommended)
```bash
pi install npm:pi-web-access
pi install npm:@anton-kochev/pi-skills
pi install npm:bigpowers
pi install npm:@monopi/skills
```
### Method 2: Npx-based setup tools
```bash
npx @monopi/monopi # One-command setup
npx @monopi/monopi --version 0.2.13 # Pin a version
npx @monopi/monopi --local # Project-local install
```
### Method 3: Manual clone (git repos)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/badlogic/pi-skills ~/.pi/agent/skills/pi-skills
```

|----------|-------|------|
| `~/.pi/agent/skills/` | All projects | Direct root `.md` files + directories with `SKILL.md` |
| `.pi/skills/` | Current project | Direct root `.md` files + directories with `SKILL.md` |
| `~/.agents/skills/` | All projects | Only directories with `SKILL.md` (root `.md` ignored) |

## Skills vs Extensions
| Feature | Skills | Extensions |
|---------|--------|------------|
| **Format** | Markdown (`SKILL.md`) | TypeScript (`.ts`) |
| **Purpose** | Instructions for the LLM | Code that intercepts events |

# Skills CLI
`npx skills` is the CLI for the open agent-skills ecosystem
([vercel-labs/skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills)). It is a
meta-installer: it pulls `SKILL.md` bundles from a source and links or copies
them into each supported agent's skill directory. No global install; run via
`npx`. Version 1.7.2 (`package.json`, 2026-10-19).
## Commands
| Command | Aliases | Purpose |
|---------|---------|---------|
| `skills add <source>` | `a` | Install skills from a source. |
| `skills use <source>[@skill]` | | Emit a prompt for one skill (pipe to an agent) or launch an agent with `--agent`, without installing. |
| `skills list` | `ls` | List installed skills (`-g` global only, `-a <agent>` filter). |
| `skills find [query]` | | Interactive (fzf-style) or keyword search; `--owner <org>` scans an org. |
| `skills update [skills...]` | | Update installed skills to latest; `-g`/`-p` scope, `-y` auto-scope. |
| `skills remove [skills]` | `rm`, `r` | Remove installed skills from agents. |
| `skills init [name]` | | Create a `SKILL.md` template. |
| `skills experimental_install` | `i`, `install` | Restore installs recorded in the lock file. |
| `skills experimental_sync` | | Sync installed skills against sources. |
| `skills check` | | Report drift: GitHub tree SHA vs locked `skillFolderHash`. |
`skills check` and `skills update` share a dispatch path in `src/cli.ts`
(2026-10-19). For `check`/`update`, only GitHub-backed skills carrying both
`skillFolderHash` and `skillPath` are compared.
### `add` options
| Option | Effect |
|--------|--------|
| `-g, --global` | User directory instead of project. |
| `-a, --agent <agents...>` | Target specific agents (`'*'` for all). |
| `-s, --skill <skills...>` | Specific skills by name (`'*'` for all). |
| `-l, --list` | List the source's skills without installing. |
| `--copy` | Copy instead of symlink. |
| `-y, --yes` | Skip prompts (CI-friendly). |
| `--all` | All skills to all agents, no prompts. |
| `--full-depth` | Discover `SKILL.md` outside standard container dirs too. |
## Sources
GitHub shorthand (`owner/repo`), full GitHub URL, a tree path to one skill
(`.../tree/main/skills/<name>`), GitLab URL, Azure DevOps URL, any git URL, a
local path, or a direct download URL (single `SKILL.md`, or `.zip`/`.tar`/
`.tar.gz`/`.tgz`). Private repos reuse the credentials git already has;
`GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_TOKEN` override for API access. Direct downloads cap at
10 MiB compressed, 25 MiB extracted, 1000 files (override with
`SKILLS_DOWNLOAD_MAX_BYTES`, `SKILLS_EXTRACT_MAX_BYTES`,
`SKILLS_EXTRACT_MAX_FILES`).
## Install scope and method
| Scope | Flag | Location |
|-------|------|----------|
| Project | default | `./<agent>/skills/` |
| Global | `-g` | `~/<agent>/skills/` |
Symlink (recommended: one canonical copy, easy update) or `--copy` (independent
copies, for hosts where symlinks are unsupported).
## Skill discovery in a source repo
The CLI walks each container directory up to three levels: flat
(`skills/<name>/SKILL.md`) and one- or two-level catalog layouts. Containers:
repo root, `skills/` (and `.curated`/`.experimental`/`.system`), plus
per-agent dirs (`.claude/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, `.pi/skills/`, and
dozens more). A `SKILL.md` at a shallower level shadows deeper ones.
`--full-depth` also scans outside containers (`examples/`, `tests/`). If a
`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` or `plugin.json` exists, its declared skill
paths load too (Claude Code marketplace compatibility). Nothing found in
containers triggers a recursive search.
## Lock file
| Type | Path |
|------|------|
| Global | `$XDG_STATE_HOME/skills/.skill-lock.json`, else `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` |
| Project | `skills-lock.json` (commit it) |
Schema **v3**; key field `skillFolderHash` (GitHub tree SHA per skill folder).
A lock file older than v3 is wiped, not migrated — reinstall to repopulate
(`src/skill-lock.ts`, 2026-10-19).
## Environment variables
| Variable | Effect |
|----------|--------|
| `INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS` | `1`/`true` reveals `metadata.internal: true` skills. |
| `DISABLE_TELEMETRY` | Disable anonymous usage telemetry. |
| `DO_NOT_TRACK` | Alternative telemetry opt-out. |
| `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GH_TOKEN` | Explicit GitHub API token. |
## Agent registry
79 agents supported (upstream README + `--agent` registry, checked 2026-10-19);
the CLI auto-detects installed agents, prompting when it finds none. Each agent
maps to a project and global path (e.g. `claude-code` → `.claude/skills/` /
`~/.claude/skills/`; `pi` → `.pi/skills/` / `~/.pi/agent/skills/`). The
authoritative table lives in the upstream README; this bundle does not mirror
it because the list churns. omp is not a registered agent — see
[Skill Store Wiring](/skills/store-wiring.md).

# Best Practices for Skill Authors
## Description Writing
1. **Be specific about capabilities** — "Extracts text and tables from PDF files, fills forms, merges documents" vs "Helps with documents"
2. **Include trigger phrases** — "Use when working with PDF files or when user mentions PDFs, forms, or document extraction"
3. **Keep under 1024 characters**
4. **Write in third person**
5. **First sentence = what it does, second sentence = when to use it**
## File Organization
1. **Use progressive disclosure** — Keep SKILL.md focused; reference detailed docs in `references/`
2. **Add scripts for deterministic operations** — When the same code would be generated repeatedly, scripts save tokens and improve reliability
3. **Split files when content exceeds ~500 lines** — Agents load the entire file on activation
4. **Include a config.json** for configurable paths or settings
5. **Add tests** — Include test scripts and mock data for validation
## Security
1. **Review skill content before use** — Skills can instruct the model to perform any action
2. **Scripts run with your full system permissions** — Only install from trusted sources
3. **Document dependencies clearly** — List all required tools, API keys, and setup steps
## Distribution
1. **Add `pi-package` keyword** to package.json for npm discoverability
2. **Include `video` or `image` fields** in the pi manifest for the gallery
3. **Use peerDependencies** for pi-provided packages: `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`, `@earendil-works/pi-ai`, `typebox`
4. **List runtime deps in `dependencies`** — They get installed automatically

# Installing Skills via NPM / Npx
## Method 1: Direct `pi install` (recommended)
```bash
# Install a package containing skills
pi install npm:pi-web-access
pi install npm:@anton-kochev/pi-skills
pi install npm:bigpowers
pi install npm:@monopi/skills
# Install from GitHub (also works for packages with skills)
pi install git:github.com/badlogic/pi-skills
pi install https://github.com/badlogic/pi-skills
# Project-level install (goes to .pi/settings.json)
pi install -l npm:pi-web-access
# Try without installing (current session only)
pi -e npm:pi-web-access
```
## Method 2: Npx-based setup tools
Some meta-installers provide one-command setup:
```bash
# monopi: one-command setup for pi with skills, extensions, themes, etc.
npx @monopi/monopi
# Pin a version
npx @monopi/monopi --version 0.2.13
# Project-local install
npx @monopi/monopi --local
# Remove all monopi packages
npx @monopi/monopi --remove
```
## Method 3: Manual clone (git repos)
```bash
# Clone the official pi-skills collection
git clone https://github.com/badlogic/pi-skills ~/.pi/agent/skills/pi-skills
# Or project-level
git clone https://github.com/badlogic/pi-skills .pi/skills/pi-skills
```
## Package Sources
| Source Type | Example | Notes |
|-------------|---------|-------|
| **npm** | `npm:@foo/bar@1.0.0` | Pinned versions, installed to `~/.pi/agent/npm/` |
| **git** | `git:github.com/user/repo@v1` | Pinned to tags/commits, cloned to `~/.pi/agent/git/` |
| **local** | `./relative/path` | Points to local directory, added without copying |
## Dependencies
- Runtime dependencies belong in `dependencies` in `package.json`
- Pi-provided packages (`@earendil-works/pi-ai`, `@earendil-works/pi-agent-core`, `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent`, `@earendil-works/pi-tui`, `typebox`) as `peerDependencies` with `"*"` range
- When pi installs from npm or git, it runs `npm install` automatically

# Pi Packages — The Distribution Mechanism
Pi packages are npm packages that declare resources via a `pi` manifest in `package.json`. They are the primary way to distribute skills (along with extensions, prompts, and themes) through npm.
## Package Structure
```
my-pi-package/
├── package.json # npm metadata + pi manifest
├── skills/ # Conventional directory (auto-discovered)
│ ├── my-skill/
│ │ └── SKILL.md
│ └── another-skill/
│ └── SKILL.md
├── extensions/ # TypeScript extensions
├── prompts/ # Prompt templates
├── themes/ # TUI themes
└── README.md
```
## Package.json with pi Manifest
```json
{
"name": "my-pi-package",
"keywords": ["pi-package"],
"pi": {
"extensions": ["./extensions"],
"skills": ["./skills"],
"prompts": ["./prompts"],
"themes": ["./themes"]
}
}
```
## Gallery Metadata
Packages tagged with `pi-package` appear on the [pi.dev/packages gallery](https://pi.dev/packages). Add preview media:
```json
{
"pi": {
"skills": ["./skills"],
"video": "https://example.com/demo.mp4",
"image": "https://example.com/screenshot.png"
}
}
```
## Two-Layer Model
```
npm package (tagged pi-package)
├── pi.skills manifest → points to ./skills/
└── skills/
├── brave-search/SKILL.md
├── browser-tools/SKILL.md
└── tdd-workflow/SKILL.md
```
Skills are the **content** (SKILL.md + scripts). Pi packages are the **delivery mechanism** (npm tarball with a `pi` manifest).

Arguments after the command are appended to the skill content as `User: <args>`.

# How the Pi Agent Loads and Uses Skills
## Discovery Flow
1. Pi scans all configured skill locations at startup
2. Extracts names and descriptions from each `SKILL.md`
3. Builds the system prompt with skill descriptions in XML format
4. The LLM decides which skill(s) to activate based on the user's prompt
5. When activated, the agent reads the full SKILL.md using the `read` tool
## Progressive Disclosure Pattern
```
System prompt (always in context):
- "Available skills: brave-search (Web search...), browser-tools (Browser automation...), ..."
User: "Search for information about React hooks"
Agent decides: activate brave-search
Agent reads: ~/.pi/agent/skills/brave-search/SKILL.md (full file)
Agent executes: {baseDir}/search.js "React hooks"
```
## This is progressive disclosure: only descriptions are always in context, full instructions load on-demand.
