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).

+description: "Extract per-model benchmark scores from artificialanalysis.ai pages: charts are client-rendered recharts SVGs invisible to plain HTML fetch; pair sorted label/name x-coords, then cross-check against published sentences before trusting any chart↔eval identity."
+---
+
+Extract per-eval scores for a model from artificialanalysis.ai when no API key exists. Plain HTML fetch yields NO chart data (client-side recharts; SSR has only meta + FAQ sentences; `/api/*` = 401).
+
+## Procedure
+1. Managed browser tab: `browser.open({name, url, wait_until: "domcontentloaded"})`.
+2. **Per-eval top-3 (authoritative):** open `https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/<slug>`; regex `document.body.innerText` (collapse whitespace): `([A-Z][^.;]{0,60}?) scores the highest on (.+?) with a score of (-?[\d.]+%?), followed by (.+?) with a score of ... and ...` — mind decimal points truncating naive `[^.]+` regexes. Build the page script as a plain string (`String.raw`), not an interpolated template, so `\\d` survives.
+3. **All-eval per-model rows:** on `https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/<slug>`: scroll in 6 steps (0.15→0.9, ~1.3 s each) to trigger lazy charts, then per `svg` with ≥3 bars: labels = `[...svg.querySelectorAll("g.recharts-label-list text")]` (x attr), names = `[...svg.querySelectorAll("foreignObject")]` divs sorted by `g[transform] translate(x,y)`. Sort BOTH by x, **zip by index** — x-center pairing is off by a systematic half-bar.
+4. Self-row filter: exact hyphenated name (e.g. `Qwen3.8-Flash-Next`, not "Qwen3.8 Flash").
+5. Elo evals (GDPval-AA, AA-Briefcase): charts show AA's published `(Elo−500)/2000` normalization (1866→68.3).
+
+## Verification law (non-negotiable — two plausible mappings disagreed twice)
+- Zip top-3 of every chart against the eval page's published sentence (e.g. Kimi 88.7→89, Opus 66.9→67); ship only cross-checked rows.
+- Arithmetic corroboration helps: Omniscience accuracy 17% + non-hallucination 7% ↔ index −60.
+- Record provenance per row: sentence rows → eval-page URL; chart-label rows → model-page URL; `fetched_at` + `index_version`.
+- Geometry pairing (link→nearest chart below) is AMBIGUOUS when chart height > gap to next card — adjacent links share a chart. Use order + sentence tops, not geometry.
+
+## Traps
+- `tab.run` = Bun runtime; page-world JS needs `tab.evaluate`. Eval-cell `log()` does not reach display; write to a /tmp file and `cat`.
+- "Add model from specific provider" picker is not in the DOM (renders after chart data loads); UI drill-through × N evals is fragile — prefer the sentences.
+- Headline index FAQ: "scores N on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index" — check for "(estimated)" qualifier; est. = "independent evaluation forthcoming".

+---
+
+Extract AI benchmark scores for a specific model from artificialanalysis.ai. Per-model per-eval numbers are NOT in SSR HTML (JS charts, API needs key); eval-page SSR text DOES carry the top-3 sentence.
+
+## Procedure (validated 5x on this repo's model pages)
+1. `browser.open({ name, url: "https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/<slug>", wait_until: "domcontentloaded" })`, then scroll in ~6 steps (0.15..0.9 of scrollHeight, ~1.3 s pauses) — charts lazy-render.
+2. Extract each chart: pair `g.recharts-label-list text` (values, take `x` attr) with `foreignObject div` (model names, x from parent `g[transform] translate(x,y)`). **Sort both lists by x and zip by index — NOT nearest-x** (nearest-x is off by one bar; index-zip matches published tops exactly).
+3. Self row: match name loosely (`Qwen3.8-Flash-Next` has hyphens — test both forms).
+
+## Identity law (never ship an order-guessed chart→eval mapping)
+- Model pages have ~14 charts, 18 eval cards; DOM order and geometry pairing BOTH proved ambiguous.
+- Anchor every chart by its top-3 names/values vs the eval page's published sentence: `https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/<slug>` body text: "X scores the highest on <eval> with a score of N%, followed by …". Regex must tolerate decimals: value pattern `(-?[\\d.]+%?)`; build page scripts with `String.raw` (bun template literals eat `\\d`).
+- A chart's `self` value on the MODEL page is page-local → trustworthy once the top-3 anchor confirms the eval (e.g. AA-LCR: Kimi 88.7 → chart top "Kimi K3 (max)=89").
+
+## Normalization laws (frank-intelligence-bench aa-scores.yml)
+- Elo evals (AA-Briefcase, GDPval-AA): store `(Elo−500)/2000×100` (1866 → 68.3), AA's published normalization.
+- AA-Omniscience: score = Accuracy (w10) + 1−Hallucination (w5), both 0–100 → composite `(10·acc + 5·nonhall)/15`. NEVER feed the −100..100 Index chart value (pre-fix cost ~7 pts; calibration then reproduces AA's official index ±0.6: Flash-Next 39.85≈40, Haiku 43.4≈43, 27B 33.85≈34, 3.6-27B 21.55≈21).
+- Every seeded row: `source_url` + `fetched_at` + `index_version`.
+
+## Seed + validate loop
+Append model block to `config/references/aa-scores.yml` (block-insert via python string replace on the `  - name: <anchor>` line — beware: dropping rows from a block loses the 2-space indent on the anchor line; verify with `yaml.safe_load`), then `bun -e loadAaRefs` parse-check, `bun src/cli.ts report $RID`, calibration check (full-row models: lite vs AA official), `bun test`, commit.

+## Provenance law (non-negotiable)
+- Every row: `{ eval, pct, source_url, fetched_at, index_version }` (Zod-enforced; top-level `schema_version: 1, fetched_at, index_version` required).
+- Eval ids MUST match report result ids: `scicode, aa-lcr, hle, terminal-bench, gdp-pdf, aa-briefcase, gdpval-aa, automationbench-aa, aa-omniscience, critpt` (render `refFor(evalId)` joins on exact id).
+- Never ship an order-guessed chart↔eval mapping; only cross-checked ones.
+
+## Data tiers (authority order)
+1. **Eval-page sentence** (authoritative, SSR, per eval page `/evaluations/<slug>`): `"X scores the highest on <eval> with a score of N%, followed by Y ... and Z ..."` → top-3 rows with verbatim model names. Regex trap: model names contain `5.5` — capture names with `[^.;]` truncates at decimals; use targeted extraction per page, verify each value against the page's `66.9`-style raw text.
+2. **Model-page chart labels** (per-model values, incl. the page's own model): charts are client-side Recharts (NOT in raw HTML, NOT via /api/ — keyless API 404s). Browser: `browser.open({name,url,wait_until})`, scroll full page in ~0.15 steps (lazy render), then `tab.evaluate` (NOT `tab.run` — that's Bun world):
+   - names = `<foreignObject>` div text, x from parent `g[transform]` `translate(x,...)`;
+   - values = `g.recharts-label-list text` attrs;
+   - **zip by sorted-x index** (nearest-x pairing is off by half a bar; index-zip verified against published tops).
+3. `sync-aa` free Data API for headline indices — needs `AA_API_KEY` (unset in ~/.secrets as of 2026-10-11).
+
+## Cross-check law (mandatory before shipping chart-derived rows)
+Chart's top-3 zipped values must match the eval page's published sentence (e.g. Kimi 88.7→89, Elo 1866→68.3, Opus index 46). Two independent methods disagreeing = stop, re-anchor; geometry pairing (link-top→svg-top proximity) collides on adjacent cards — prefer sentence-vs-zip corroboration.
+
+## Normalizations
+- Elo evals (GDPval-AA, AA-Briefcase): sentences publish raw Elo; store AA's published `(Elo−500)/2000`×100 (1866→68.3). Document in file header.
+- AA-Omniscience `eval: aa-omniscience` = the −100..100 Index (not accuracy); accuracy/non-hallucination charts corroborate (17%/7% ⇒ −60 arithmetically consistent).
+
+## Known identities (2026-10-11 census, v4.3.2)
+- frank-archon lineage base = **Qwen3.8-Flash-Next** (`/models/qwen3-8-flash-next`), AA index 40, class median 18. NOT Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Instruct (index 10, 2025 family) — first seed got this wrong; verify lineage in `docs/endpoints.md` before labeling `kind: base`.
+- Base per-eval (chart): SciCode 51, HLE 38, AA-LCR 80, TB-4.0 25, GDP.pdf 16, CritPt 11, Briefcase 54, GDPval 56, AutoBench 56, Omniscience −10.
+- Frontier anchors: SciCode Opus 5.5 Max 66.9 (board flagged "under review" — travel this caveat with any SciCode delta); HLE Opus 61.4; AA-LCR Kimi K3 88.7; TB Sonnet 63.6; CritPt GPT-6.1 Sol 32.3.
+
+## Edit traps
+- YAML surgery via `edit`: replacing a line range that included a top-level key (`schema_version`/`models:`) silently duplicates or deletes the anchor → Zod error `expected 1 / received undefined`. After any header edit, `grep -n "^schema_version\|^fetched_at\|^index_version\|^models:"` must show exactly one each.
+
+## Ship loop
+1. `bun -e 'import { loadAaFile, loadAaRefs } from "./src/aa"; ...'` schema-parse gate.
+2. `bun src/cli.ts report <run-id>` (takes bare id, NOT a path) → trio in `reports/<host>/<id>/`.
+3. Verify `data.json .aa_reference` non-empty, per-eval coverage, delta columns.
+4. log entry in `docs/log.md` + atomic commit + push (local gitea OK).

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

+```
+Run the suite for information, not as the stopping point — it only proves the author's own scenarios.
+
+## 3. Hunt the three classic agent defects
+- **Quoting bugs:** `set -e` + `"${@/$p/$r}"` = substitution regex containing user input (bash can't escape `/` in a `${var/re/pat}` pattern: `/` reads as the pattern/replacement separator). Fix with a separator absent from inputs (e.g. `%`) and `printf '%q'` for shell-interpolated values.
+- **`cd` assumptions:** parallel `runShell` calls share one CWD (pool mode). Any command sequence that assumes CWD (e.g. `git -C .` after a sibling's `cd`) must use explicit absolute paths.
+- **Unbounded resources:** every fd opened must be closed on ALL paths (success, throw, validation fail) — `using` for fs.sinks (closes on throw; sinks are `AsyncDisposable`, not `fs.FileHandle`, no `.close()`); bounded `Map` for caches (`MAX` + FIFO eviction); explicit caps (lines read, file sizes).
+
+## 4. Check the test file is real
+Tests that assert internal state (`expect(wcwd).toBe(...)`) over output contracts; tests of mock echo; tautologies. Delete them per house rules, keep behavior contracts.
+
+## 5. Cutover audit (repo-wide)
+`grep -r` the symbol namespace the subagent touched — `wcwd`-style globals are the classic blast radius. Grep every `cd`/`process.chdir` site and verify each paired command sequence uses explicit paths. Stale comments describing the old design must go — comments that lie are time bombs for the next reader.
+
+## 6. Cutover restarts running processes
+A code fix on disk is NOT live in any process that loaded the file at spawn (bun/node load-at-spawn). After shipping fixes: restart every long-running supervisor/daemon/UI-server that carries the affected code path; prefer takeover protocols (stale-pid detection) that make restarts cheap. Symptom of forgetting: "fixed" code producing old-code symptoms in production (observed: 812 poisoned ledger rows).
+
+## 7. Triaging an adversarial REVIEW report (not code)
+When a subagent produced findings, treat each finding as a hypothesis with a base rate ~40% (measured over 3 rounds, 2026-10):
+1. **Walk every finding end-to-end against the CURRENT tree** before accepting — cite file:line yourself. Reviewers frequently read a mid-edit snapshot; many findings are stale by construction.
+2. **Classification that kills most findings:**
+   - *Stale read* — code changed during review; verify against live lines.
+   - *Inverted logic* — "failed rows are skipped" when the filter makes failed rows RETRY. Re-read the filter.
+   - *Unreachable* — trigger requires breaking a stated design law (single-worker, append-only). Not a defect.
+   - *By-design* — the reviewer labels a spec law a bug (serial execution, non-stream client). Check the spec, not the reviewer's confidence.
+   - *Constant-trust* — "XSS via manifest field" where the field is git-pinned config; "path traversal via REMOTE_TMP" where it's a hardcoded const. Ask: what untrusted input reaches this sink?
+   - *Self-refuting* — the reviewer's own probe output disproves its claim (raw==dedup probe in a "dedup" finding). Quote it back.
+3. **Acceptance bar:** concrete trigger with real inputs + full path walked. Real accepts cluster in: resource caps (pids/timeout/awaited-cleanup), honest labels (default signatures), escaping discipline, self-healing probes.
+4. **One-line verdicts + evidence per finding**, shipped in the commit message; calibration section ("genuinely solid") accepted as free verification of past fixes.
+
+## Verification (the non-negotiable)
+Build/run the real artifact with its real inputs. Observe behavior at the seams:
+- concurrent calls → no CWD races;
+- resource ceilings → caps enforced;
+- cleanup → no fd/pid/dir leaks;
+- security → injection probes inert (quotes, slashes, metachars);
+- normal case → output identical to pre-audit.
+
+## Evidence (2026-10-07 + 2026-10-10/11 sessions)
+- Shell-engine subagent: 426 LOC, `bun test` 39/39 green. Line-audit found: 5 leaked fds per call (`fd` sink never closed), CWD-race in `git -C .`, `set -e` + `${@/\/g\//}` slash-escaping bug, unbounded 10k-entry cache, 45s timeout on git-status.
+- Review-triage census over 3 blind adversarial rounds (same repo, ~41 findings): accepted 9, rejected ~32 — rejects dominated by stale reads (protocol rewritten mid-review), inverted filter logic, unreachable-under-law triggers, base64-alphabet "quote injection" (charset has no quotes), SIGPIPE non-leaks, "no memory cap" quoting the `--memory 4g` line above the claim. Real accepts: fork-bomb pids cap, stalled-ssh upload cap, stale-flag self-heal probe, honest census label, freshness gate on pid reuse.
+- Poison-law incident: sandbox fix shipped while supervisor ran old build → 812 rows graded by the dead protocol; takeover made recovery cheap. The restart step (#6) exists because of this.

+description: "Before calling a leftover LLM bench drop-in a rogue/hijack, reconstruct whether Frank ordered and measured that arm: omp archive prompt timestamps + journald print_timing for the exact pid, then land the verdict in the repo."
+---
+
+Use when a live service boots a payload you did not configure (stale `systemd` drop-in / `*_ENV_FILE` arm env) and the docs — or your own compaction-inherited context — call it "unfinished", "armed but never measured", or "hijack". Do NOT report that until proven: the arm may be an ordered, measured, approved configuration whose record lived only in `/tmp` + journald.
+
+## Why this exists
+2026-10-18 `frank-zealot`: a `frank-zealot.service.d/ptq1.conf` drop-in made the cutover deploy boot a different model at a different shape. I reported it as an unfinished experiment. It was actually the 27B PTQ1_0 arm Frank ordered at 02:36, that served production 03:14:39→03:38:57, and whose numbers existed only in tool output that context compaction later dropped.
+
+## Step 1 — recover the ORDER (the harness archive, not memory)
+`eval` with the `archive` prelude:
+
+```python
+ps = await archive.prompts()          # searchable prompt history, survives compaction
+# filter for the payload name / repo URL keywords, print p['at'] + p['text'][:90]
+r = await archive.session("<sessionId>")   # full session record
+recaps = await archive.recaps()             # recap stamps — check they postdate the window
+```
+
+`archive.prompts()` keeps **user prompts with ISO timestamps** even when the middle of the transcript was dropped. Timestamp every instruction: ordered → measured → superseded. Convert to local (`UTC−7` here) before quoting. A recap older than the instruction proves the recap layer never covered the window.
+
+## Step 2 — recover the MEASUREMENT (journal, per pid)
+The engine's own per-request timings are the record; they outlive `/tmp` env files.
+
+```bash
+ssh dank@<host> 'journalctl -u <svc> --no-pager' | grep -F 'serve-<svc>.sh[<PID>]' \
+  | grep -E 'prompt eval time|eval time' | awk '... median per task ...'
+```
+
+- Pin the **pid** (`sh[NNNN]`): `--since` windows alone pull the previous process's numbers too.
+- llama.cpp format: `prompt eval time = 1234.56 ms / 100 tokens (…, 81.03 tokens per second)`; decode rows are `eval time = … ms / N tokens (…)`. Multiple spaces between `task`/`eval` break naive regexes — match `task\s+(\d+)\s+prompt eval time` exactly, or parse both labels separately.
+- Filter pathological rows: generations running concurrently on other slots, or ending in a 4-byte EOS, read ~4× low. Report clean single-stream probes (≥200 generated tokens) and label the rest.
+- Cross-check the boot banner for the payload identity (`type ptq1_0: 402 tensors`, KV ledger, slot/ctx lines) — that proves *which* shape that pid served.
+
+## Step 3 — adjudicate, then land it in the repo
+Write the verdict in the same session you derive it: runbook deploy-ledger section, `log.md` dated section, the arm script's header comment, and the AGENTS.md law. `/tmp` and journald are not records — that absence is what makes the next agent misread an approved arm as a rogue one.
+
+## Traps
+- `mask` fails on a relinked unit; never `systemctl disable`; retire drop-ins to `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` + `daemon-reload` (recoverable, not deleted).
+- `/health` 200, `/v1/models` echoing the alias, and a green e2e gate all fail to read the payload — check `systemctl show <svc> -p DropInPaths` (must be empty), then `tr '\0' ' ' </proc/$(pidof llama-server)/cmdline`, then the boot ledger.
+- Verification sequence that is honest: correction commit must quote commands you ran; state `[INFERENCE]` for anything the journal does not show.

+---
+
+# Rule (from 2026-10-10 frank-intelligence-bench incident, 3 harness faults found)
+An LLM benchmark score is VOID until every failure signature is attributed to the MODEL. Run the census before quoting any number.
+
+# Procedure
+1. Aggregate graded rows per eval; for each failed grade extract the LAST python exception signature:
+   regex `(\w+Error|\w+Exception): (?:name '([^']+)' is not defined|No module named '([^']+)')?` → sig = `Type: detail`.
+2. Indict the harness (not the model) when:
+   - `NameError: target` / `NameError: targets` in any count → expected-value bindings never reached the tests (gold data file missing/unstaged).
+   - `ModuleNotFoundError: <grader package>` (e.g. `scicode`) → grading deps missing from the execution image.
+   - ≥10 failures sharing ONE signature at >50% share → systematic fault; audit the protocol (e.g. markdown fences reaching an exec-based extractor — `SyntaxError` storm; strip ``` fences before feeding model text to graders that exec raw code).
+   - >50% of generations fail → endpoint/transport fault.
+3. Real model failures look heterogeneous: AssertionError/AxisError/NameError of the model's OWN undefined names.
+
+# Companion checks
+- Prove the grading path with a gold-solution integration test BEFORE trusting live scores: gold must PASS end-to-end (FIB_INTEGRATION=1 pattern).
+- Quarantine poisoned ledgers (.AGENTTRASH) rather than deleting; census them to root-cause.

+| `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 |

+# Recovering from cfg:// approval-prompt timeouts
+
+## Facts (verified in bundle 2026-10-18)
+- Settings-write approval dialog timeout is **hardcoded 10 000 ms** (`timeout: JKl`, `JKl=1e4`, countdown class treats arg as ms) in the omp `dist/cli.js` bundle. **No config key exists** for it (checked full `cfg://` registry).
+- `ask.timeout` is a DIFFERENT gate (ask-tool auto-select; 0 = wait forever). It does not govern cfg approvals.

+## Recovery procedure (only when the user has already explicitly approved the change)
+1. Do NOT re-issue `cfg://<key>/save` after a timeout unless the user explicitly asks again — the harness forbids it.

+   - `grep` the setting key to locate it; read surrounding lines.

+description: "Swap a path→service planner/mapping engine behind a golden fixture: capture, delta-reduce, document deltas, flip grep seams to behavioral, add render/drift gates, validate Caddyfile renders, Gitea PR URLs (serverAppConfigs cutover playbook)"
+---
+
+Playbook for replacing a hand-maintained mapping engine (deploy planner, seam mapper, allow-lists) with a data-driven one without changing observable behavior. Proven on the 2026-10-13 `shared/services.yml` + `scripts/service-map.py` cutover (921 deltas → 17 intentional → green; 408/408 bats).
+
+## 1. Capture the characterization fixture FIRST
+- Enumerate every path the old engine sees: all tracked files x all targets (`git ls-files`), plus hand-added edge paths (retired files, cross-host paths, shared networks).
+- Run the OLD engine on each, record `path<TAB>target<TAB>services` to `tests/fixtures/*-golden.tsv`. Old engine = current `deploy-plan.py` before edits.
+- This fixture is the contract; the new engine must reproduce it except documented deltas.
+
+## 2. Cut over, then delta-reduce with the fixture
+- Diff new-engine output vs fixture; bucket every delta into: engine bug / intentional change / fixture staleness.
+- Engine bugs found this way (generic classes): `in` membership on dict-of-tuples, host-scoping of relative directory keys, riders/children resolved only in the changed file's own directory, stem collisions between unit files and generated artifacts (`.network` stem == service dir stem), `.network` files entering the unit branch by stem match.
+- Intentional deltas get documented individually in the commit message; NEVER batch-accept a delta count.
+- Regenerate the fixture LAST, from the new engine, and record the delta count + reasons in the commit.
+
+## 3. Flip text-grep seams to behavioral calls
+- Old seams that grep a config file for the mapping (`grep -q 'dankclaw:hermes-webui'`) die silently on cutover. Replace with a call to the new engine: `run python3 scripts/service-map.py allows --host H --service S; assert_success`.
+- Vhost-scoped content greps (Caddyfile awk blocks) → grep the new canonical form (`import guarded`), not the inlined chain.
+
+## 4. Renders + drift gates
+- Config artifacts that were hand-maintained mirrors (node-exporter quadlet pair, pihole addn-hosts) become `service-map.py render <name> --host H` artifacts; a drift test asserts tracked-file == render output.
+- Renderers must emit exactly what the consumer parses: dnsmasq `addn-hosts` treats inline `# comments` as hostnames — render no trailing comments.
+- Named-snippet collapse (Caddyfile guard chain): the snippet MUST be defined before the first site that imports it (put `(guarded)` right after the global options block), or real caddy reports `File to import not found`.
+
+## 5. Suite + deploy gates
+- `./tests/run.sh` fully green before each rank commit; one atomic commit per rank.
+- Deploy is service-scoped: `deploy.sh <host> --service <svc>`; never a fleet drain for one service. The Playwright e2e gate runs inside deploy.sh against the live fleet.
+
+## Repo-specific gotchas (serverAppConfigs)
+- Validate the Caddyfile with stock `caddy:latest` by DELETING the whole `acme_dns porkbun { ... }` block (`awk 'NR<53 || NR>56' dankclaw/Caddyfile`). A `sed s/acme_dns porkbun {/acme_dns acme {/` variant that drops the `{` swallows the following tokens into the global block and fakes an "import not found" on `(guarded)` — debug sed swaps with a minimal repro file before blaming the config. Stock-image `dns.providers.porkbun` unregistered + basicauth `REPLACE_WITH_HASH` base64 errors are the expected endpoints of a clean parse.
+- Gitea: branches with `/` 404 on `/compare/main...wt%2F...` — use the push-hook URL `…/pulls/new/<branch>`; private repo returns 404 to anonymous curl, which proves nothing about the page.
+- `test-changed.sh` contract: new seam selection ⊇ old selection per path; unmapped repo path must `die`, never pass silently.
+- Retire-to-trash: retired files (compose.yaml, dead templates, dead bats) → dated `.AGENTTRASH/YYYYMMDD-topic/` beside them; every repo sweep must exclude `.AGENTTRASH`.
+- bash `test -f a b c && ! test -e d` is invalid syntax (test takes one operand per operator); use `ls a b c` + separate `ls d` to census artifacts.

+- **Vocabulary-first**: bolded glossary terms, then used exactly; explicit "_Avoid_: component, service".
+- **Positive phrasing**: prohibitions rewritten as target behaviours; keep a prohibition only when no positive form exists (hard guardrails).
+- **Sharpened completion criteria**: fuzzy bounds ("understanding reached") → checkable + exhaustive ("frontier empty and nothing sits blocked", "one artefact per question, counted before sending").
+- **Zero history**: no provenance, attribution, or absorbed-from lineage in the body.

+
+# Dank fleet kernel boot-line window (Dankclaw pattern)
+
+Kernel command-line state is **host state the deployer never owns**. The repo law
+("all edits through git") still applies: fetch the live file, commit it, edit the
+tracked copy, apply with a script.
+
+## Source of truth
+- `dankclaw/host/grub` — tracked copy of `/etc/default/grub`.
+- `scripts/set-dankclaw-bootline.sh` — the only door: diff → `sudo install -m 0644 -o root -g root` →
+  `sudo update-grub` → print the **default `grub.cfg` entry** → reboot only on `--reboot`.
+  Refuses any host whose `hostname -s` lacks `dankclaw`.
+- Decision record: `serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/dankclaw-iommu-translation-off.md`.
+- `deploy-plan.py` maps `dankclaw/*` subdirs explicitly; a new `dankclaw/host/` path plans nothing (verify with a `--dry-run`).
+
+## Procedure
+1. **Capture the before-arm measurement first** — you cannot get it back after the reboot.
+2. Fetch provenance byte-exact: `ssh dankclaw 'sudo cat /etc/default/grub' > dankclaw/host/grub` (never retype; a transcription dropped a leading `0`).
+3. Commit provenance, edit the tracked copy, commit the flip, push (**Gitea lives on Dankclaw — pull on the host before rebooting**), then `ssh dankclaw 'cd ~/serverAppConfigs && git pull --ff-only origin main'`.
+4. Install **without** `--reboot` first: it prints the `grub.cfg` default entry; confirm the token there before the irreversible step.
+5. `ssh dankclaw 'sudo systemctl reboot --no-block'`.
+6. **Poll on `/proc/uptime` + cmdline, never on ping** — the NIC answers ICMP for a minute after shutdown and sshd reset looks like "reachable".
+   Gate set: `systemctl --failed` count 0 · `systemctl is-system-running` running · `/proc/cmdline` token · `ls /sys/kernel/iommu_groups | wc -l` · `cat /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*/type | sort | uniq -c` · `systemctl is-active frank-dragoon frank-zealot` · `curl 127.0.0.1:7770/health` (listener binds only after the full load — poll up to 10 min).
+
+## Measurement discipline (this is where windows get lied about)
+- Both arms must be **byte-identical traffic**. Engine-reported token counts are the identity proof (e.g. 59,024 prefill / 21,568 needle both boots).
+- `/tmp` is **tmpfs**: the reboot deletes `/tmp/halogen-eval`. Rebuild with `scripts/stage-frank-dragoon-eval.sh` (corpus 2,891 lines / 1,287,656 B is the check) — and run it via `bash -lc`, `uv` is in `~/.local/bin`, absent from a non-login PATH.
+- The 51.2 GB halogen n-gram table is page cache (`Pin::None`). A fresh boot has it cold and a cold table throttles prefill → `cat` it once (~40 s) before measuring. `WARM=1` in the staging script does this.
+- **Sampled decode on this engine is a useless single-sample instrument**: three repeats of the same request gave 31.8 / 46.9 / 47.8 t/s. Only prefill (cold) and needle-hit carry signal; anything else needs ≥3 repeats.
+- Bench law still bites: nothing else on the GPU; measuring *through* the live service is how dragoon/zealot are measured (a scratch server cannot share the card).
+
+## Traps
+- `edit` `PUT N.:` can **insert instead of replace** — verify the range shrank, then `CUT` the leftover.
+- Body rows beginning with a markdown bullet (`- `) get auto-prefixed and land as `+- `; rewrite the block with `write` when that happens.
+- A long reboot fires `LlmEndpointDown` → Signal; Alertmanager has **no persistence**, so every active alert gets a fresh `startsAt` after boot — check `query_range` history before blaming the window for an alert.
+- `sudo podman ps` shows nothing for Dankclaw's rootless stack; `systemctl is-active caddy` is meaningless for quadlets. Use the public endpoints or `systemctl --user` as `dank`.
+
+## Worked example (2026-10-18)
+`amd_iommu=off` → `iommu=pt` to restore the XDNA2 NPU. Result: cold prefill 1,585.1 → 1,616.0 t/s (**+2.0 %**, i.e. no penalty), needle hit/hit, `amdxdna` bound `0000:c6:00.1` (group 26 identity, PASID width 10). The 13–16 % figure it replaced had never been measured locally. Deferred on purpose: `pp_dpm_fclk` pin (nothing co-runs yet) and PerfOpt (needs Linux 7.4; Ubuntu 26.04 caps at `7.0.0-38.38`).

+---
+
+# Expose a service on Dankclaw (franksdank.cloud)
+
+Proven end-to-end 2026-10-11 with ntfy. Four layers, each with a known trap.
+
+## 0. Survey first
+```bash
+ssh dankclaw 'ls ~/.config/containers/systemd/; grep -nE "franksdank|anubis" /home/dank/Containers/caddy/Caddyfile'
+```
+- Caddy runs as quadlet `caddy.container`; config at `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/Caddyfile` (NOT `/etc/caddy` on host).
+- Sites fronted by `anubis:8923` get bot-challenge. **CLI/API publishers (ntfy, webhooks, git) MUST bypass anubis** — use the `gitea`/`ai` pattern (direct `reverse_proxy`).
+
+## 1. Quadlet container (user `dank`)
+Write `~/.config/containers/systemd/<name>.container`:
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=<name>
+After=network-online.target
+Wants=network-online.target
+[Container]
+ContainerName=<name>
+Image=<image>
+Network=dankclaw_default
+Volume=<name>-cache:/var/lib/<name>
+[Service]
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=5
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+```
+`Network=dankclaw_default` ⇒ Caddy reaches it as `<name>:<port>`. Then `systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user start <name>.service`.
+Rootless podman: bare containers never boot-persist — quadlet is mandatory.
+
+## 2. Caddy route
+Append site block (wildcard `*.franksdank.cloud` cert already issued via Porkbun DNS-01; no new cert work):
+```
+<name>.franksdank.cloud {
+	reverse_proxy <name>:<port>
+}
+```
+Validate, then reload in-place:
+```bash
+podman exec caddy caddy validate --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile --adapter caddyfile
+podman exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
+```
+
+## 3. LAN DNS (Pi-hole v6, container `pihole`)
+Traps, in order of wasted turns:
+- API is NOT at `127.0.0.1:8083/api` on the host port path — requests need `-H "Host: pi.hole"`.
+- `[[dns.records]]` in pihole.toml and `gravity.db` `domain` table: absent/unused on this box.
+- **Working location:** `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list` (dnsmasq addn-hosts), format `IP FQDN`:
+```bash
+echo "192.168.0.143 <name>.franksdank.cloud" | sudo tee -a /home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list >/dev/null
+podman exec pihole pihole restartdns
+```
+
+## 4. Public DNS (Porkbun, for off-LAN clients)
+Keys: `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/env` (`PORKBUN_API_KEY`, `PORKBUN_API_SECRET_KEY`).
+```bash
+curl -sL -X POST https://api.porkbun.com/api/json3/domain/api/create/franksdank.cloud \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{\"apikey\":\"$K\",\"secretapi\":\"$S\",\"name\":\"<name>\",\"type\":\"A\",\"content\":\"71.227.227.172\",\"ttl\":\"600\"}"
+```
+- `json3` path + `-L` (302-redirects to v3). Public IP: 71.227.227.172 (router forwards 443 → Dankclaw).
+- Porkbun edge throws intermittent 503s; retry later or do it in the UI. LAN path works without this record.
+
+## 5. Verify
+```bash
+# from Dankclaw (host):        getent hosts <name>.franksdank.cloud   → 192.168.0.143
+# workstation w/ stale resolved negative cache: use curl --resolve <name>.franksdank.cloud:443:192.168.0.143

+curl -sf --resolve <name>.franksdank.cloud:443:192.168.0.143 https://<name>.franksdank.cloud/
+```

+description: "Read-only census of downloaded models on Dankclaw: GGUF store, ComfyUI container mount, dead-config trap"
+---
+
+Answer "what models are on Dankclaw" without guessing roots. All probes are read-only ssh (`ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw '…'`).
+
+## Roots (in order)
+
+1. **LLM GGUF store:** `/home/dank/models/` — one dir per model, main GGUF + `mmproj-*` (multimodal projector) + `mtp-*` (speculative-decode draft) satellites. `~/.share/models` does NOT exist on Dankclaw (that's the workstations' convention).
+2. **ComfyUI runtime store:** `/home/dank/comfyui-data/models/` — category dirs (`diffusion_models/`, `text_encoders/`, `vae/`, `loras/`, …). This is what the running stack actually uses.
+
+## ComfyUI topology (the trap)
+
+- Runtime = podman container `comfyui` (image `localhost/comfyui-rocm:gfx1151`, user unit `comfyui.service`). Mounts: `~/comfyui-data/{models,custom_nodes,input,output}` → `/opt/ComfyUI/...`.
+- The host checkout `~/ComfyUI/` is NOT the runtime. Its `extra_model_paths.yaml` (base_path `/home/dank/models` + category keys) is dead config from a pre-container setup — never read by the container. Do not report those empty category dirs as "ComfyUI has no models".
+
+## Census commands
+
+```bash
+# LLM store: sizes + names in one pass
+ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw 'find ~/models -maxdepth 2 -type f \( -iname "*.gguf" -o -iname "*.safetensors" \) -printf "%10s  %p\n" | sort -k2'
+
+# ComfyUI: container mount truth
+ssh -o BatchMode=yes dankclaw 'find /home/dank/comfyui-data/models -type f -size +1M -printf "%10s  %P\n" | sort -k2; du -sh /home/dank/comfyui-data'

+```
+
+## Anomaly flags
+
+- A `.gguf` of ~1 KB = git-LFS pointer / failed download, not a model (seen: MiMo-Q8_0 stub). Report as broken, offer refetch or `.AGENTTRASH`.
+- Size sanity vs Strix Halo 32 GiB unified memory: bf16 diffusion+TE pairs near 30 GiB can't co-reside with the serving LLM; int8/w4a8 quants are the working set.

+---
+
+Use when a new `*.franksdank.cloud` service resolves publicly/LAN-needs a local address, on Dankclaw (Pi-hole v6 container, quadlet `pihole.container`).
+
+## Ground truth layout (verified 2026-10-11)
+
+- Quadlet: `~/.config/containers/systemd/pihole.container`; volumes `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/{etc-pihole,etc-dockers,addn-hosts}`.
+- **LAN records live in `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list`** — plain hosts format: `192.168.0.143 gitea.franksdank.cloud`. This is the boring, working path.
+- `pihole.toml` `[[dns.records]]` array is EMPTY on this host — do not expect v6 UI-style records there.
+- `gravity.db` exists but has NO `domain` table (v6 layout) — do not insert local records into SQLite.
+
+## Procedure (30 s, proven)
+
+```bash
+ssh dankclaw 'echo "192.168.0.143 <name>.franksdank.cloud" | sudo tee -a /home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list >/dev/null \
+ && podman exec pihole pihole restartdns'
+ssh dankclaw 'getent hosts <name>.franksdank.cloud'   # must resolve
+dig +short <name>.franksdank.cloud @192.168.0.143     # from any LAN box
+```
+
+Hosts files are read-only-readable only via sudo (dir owned by uid 100999). `sudo -n` works on dankclaw.
+
+## API maze — DON'T re-explore
+
+- FTL API base is `/api` at the web port (8083) **with `Host: pi.hole` header**; `/admin/api/*` → bad_request hint; bare 127.0.0.1 without the vhost → 404 `not_found`.
+- Login: `POST /api/login {"password": <WEBPASSWORD from /home/dank/Containers/pihole/env>}` → session in `X-Cors` header/cookie.
+- `POST /api/apps/domains/custom` → **404 on this build** (FTL version predates it); `/api/customdns/custom` also absent. There is no container sqlite3. Use custom.list.
+
+## Public record (off-LAN reachability)
+
+Porkbun API, keys in `/home/dank/Containers/caddy/env` (`PORKBUN_API_KEY`, `PORKBUN_API_SECRET_KEY`):
+
+```bash
+curl -sL -X POST https://api.porkbun.com/api/json3/domain/api/create/franksdank.cloud \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d "{\"apikey\":\"$K\",\"secretapi\":\"$S\",\"name\":\"<name>\",\"type\":\"A\",\"content\":\"71.227.227.172\",\"ttl\":\"600\"}"
+```
+
+- `json3` path 302-redirects → **`-L` required**; no-`-s` to see status.
+- Porkbun edge (openresty) intermittently 503s — transient; retry later, don't burn turns. Public record is OPTIONAL when LAN-only subscribers exist.
+- Wildcard `*.franksdank.cloud` TLS is already covered: Caddy + Porkbun DNS-01 (caddy-porkbun image), so a new subdomain needs NO new cert work — just the Caddyfile site block + reload.
+
+## Client-side cache gotchas
+
+- Workstation (systemd-resolved): negative cache survives Pi-hole changes; `sudo resolvectl flush-caches` needs a TTY (faillock-sensitive — no `-S` guessing). Non-interactive proof: `curl --resolve <name>.franksdank.cloud:443:192.168.0.143 https://<name>.franksdank.cloud/...`; cache self-expires (SOA negative TTL).
+- Dankclaw/Dankserver resolve via Pi-hole directly — verify there first.

+description: Use when the live deployment checkout (~/.omp main) must merge a moved origin/main while dirty tracked files block the merge and workspace policy blocks git checkout.
+---
+
+# Sync a dirty live checkout to a deployment (checkout blocked)
+
+Situation: the checkout IS the deployment; months of machine/hand writes sit
+uncommitted; `origin/main` has moved; `git checkout`/discard is BLOCKED by
+workspace policy ("edit forward"; exemption only during active conflict).
+
+## Procedure
+1. `git fetch`; trial `git merge --no-commit --no-ff origin/main` to enumerate
+   exact blockers (dirty files the merge would overwrite + untracked collisions).
+   Untracked blockers: `cp -a` to `.AGENTTRASH/pre-merge-<date>/`, then `mv` aside.
+2. **Preservation commit:** `git add` ONLY the blocking paths (not the whole
+   tree) and commit them as-is: `chore: adopt pre-existing working-tree state
+   before trunk merge`. Nothing is discarded; the secret gate still runs.
+   Include EVERY dirty deployment-state path (dotfiles/live tiers too) — a
+   dirty file that is neither committed nor trashed is unprotected from step 3.
+3. `git merge --no-ff origin/main`. Conflicts are now resolvable — the policy
+   exemption is active during a merge.
+4. Resolution law:
+   - **live machine config** (`agent/config.yml`, `models.yml`, dotfiles live
+     state like noctalia `settings.toml`) → `--ours`: the running box is its
+     own authority; the remote copy is a snapshot.
+   - **prose/law/docs** (`AGENTS.md`, KB) → `--theirs` (upstream canonical;
+     local variants survive in the preservation commit).
+   - **append-mostly logs** → union: cut only the three marker lines
+     (`<<<<<<<`/`=======` range + `>>>>>>>`), keep both sides' entries.
+5. `git commit --no-edit`, push trunk, verify `main == origin/main`.
+6. Pre-merge byte-compare every dirty file vs `origin/main`
+   (`git show origin/main:$f | diff -q - $f`): SUPERSEDED (identical → discardable),
+   DIVERGED (resolve), untracked-in-upstream (collision).
+
+## Gotchas
+- **NEVER `git stash` to unblock a deployment sync, NEVER `git stash clear`/
+  `drop` afterward.** Observed 2026-10-18: a sync stashed the dirty tree, the
+  stash entry was later destroyed, and months of GUI-built bar layout
+  (noctalia settings.toml, never committed) vanished with it — recovered only
+  via dangling-object archaeology (below). Step 2's preservation commit exists
+  precisely so stashing is never needed.
+- **Stash-and-retry loops are a red flag**: three `WIP on main` stash commits
+  within ~60s of each other means the operator was fighting the dirty tree,
+  not resolving it.
+- **Recovery from destroyed stashes** (objects survive entry deletion until gc):
+  `git fsck --lost-found` → `git log -1 --format='%ci %s' <dangling>` to date
+  them → `git show <c>:<path>` to dump candidates; newest `WIP on` commit is
+  usually the last good state. Validate before deploying (e.g.
+  `noctalia config validate`), back up the clobbered file to `.AGENTTRASH/`,
+  then restore through the symlink target.
+- Never wrap `git checkout` in `2>/dev/null` here: the policy-block error was
+  swallowed and the loop silently no-op'd; the merge then failed identically.
+- `git add` a directory pathspec stages its untracked children (fine for
+  allowlist dirs; never for prose dirs).
+- The live-sync heartbeat (#11) commits machine tiers hourly, so this sync is
+  a rare operation post-deployment — mostly memories/dotfiles stragglers.
+  Remember the heartbeat can lag up to an hour behind GUI edits: the tree
+  between heartbeats is the ONLY copy of fresh GUI work.
+- **Frank's accepted risk posture (2026-10-18):** hourly sweep + the
+  preservation-commit law + fsck recovery is defense-in-depth ENOUGH. Do not
+  re-propose faster heartbeats or path/event triggers to shrink the
+  GUI-edit-to-commit window; he chose status quo after measuring (heartbeat
+  itself is 57 ms CPU — cost was never the objection; un-debounced
+  DirectoryNotEmpty triggering was, and path-unit proposals are vetoed).

+description: "Answer \"when was the last time we pulled/updated engine?\" for digest-pinned dank-fleet images: git-history pin dating vs host podman state, pull-vs-restart distinction."
+---
+
+Answer "when was the last time we pulled/updated <engine image>?" for a digest-pinned fleet endpoint (radiance/halogen/llama.cpp images on dankserver/dankclaw).
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Locate the pin.** `grep` the repo for the image digest prefix (e.g. `4c3f484564`) — pins live in `scripts/<svc>.env` (`FRANK_ARCHON_IMAGE` etc.) and are restated in `AGENTS.md` / runbooks.
+2. **Date the pin in git.** `git log --all --format='%h %ad %s' --date=short -S '<digest-full-prefix>'` — the OLDEST hit is the cutover that pulled it (renames and service-name sweeps produce later hits; ignore them).
+3. **Check the host state.**
+   `ssh <host> 'sudo podman images --format "{{.Repository}}:{{.Tag}} {{.ID}} {{.Digest}} {{.CreatedTime}}"'`
+   Compare the on-disk digest to the pin. `CreatedTime` is the VENDOR build stamp, not the pull time — it proves which build is on disk; the git commit dates the pull.
+4. **Distinguish pull from restart.** Digest pinning means the serve script NEVER auto-pulls; a fresh `ActiveEnterTimestamp` (`systemctl show <svc> -p ActiveEnterTimestamp`) is a restart, not an update.
+5. **Sweep side pulls.** A newer engine version may have been pulled for a one-off (calibration, KLD, bench) and removed after. `podman images` census + `git log -S` for the second digest; note when the side image is gone from disk (answer: "pulled <date>, no longer on disk").
+
+## Facts to carry (radiance example)
+
+- frank-archon pin `stilldeadcode/radiance@sha256:4c3f484564…` (1.0.13) pulled 2026-10-05 (cutover commit); reused unchanged at the 2026-10-08 w4dn8 cutover.
+- Engine 1.2.0 was pulled 2026-10-08 for calibration only; image absent from disk afterwards.
+- Cross-pin compatibility (e.g. RADGRAM2 grams byte-identical across pins) is documented in the runbook — cite it when explaining a calibration/serving pin split.
+
+## Answer format
+
+Table: pin-first-introduced commit+date (the pull), later cutovers reusing the same digest (no pull), side-image pulls, last container start (restart, explicitly labeled not-a-pull). Offer upstream freshness scout as next step; a digest change for an LLM endpoint requires the stop-and-mask bench-window law.

+- Known-truth is a FLOOR test: catches broken judges, not lenient ones. Gold-vs-mutation is easy mode; small-model leniency on model-vs-gold edges needs real-verdict spot audits.

+## Traps (all fired at least once)
+- **False-accuracy via transport death:** a 400-dying judge scores ~50% on this test (all verdicts collapse to INCORRECT, matching the mutation half by luck).

+description: "Rename the served model id (alias) on a dank-fleet LLM endpoint and re-key every consumer that keys on it, with live verification."
+---
+
+# Fleet served-model-id rename (wire rename)
+
+Renames the id an endpoint announces on the wire. The service, unit, script and env
+FILE names keep the old name (container/unit identity is stable) — only the served
+alias moves. Done this way on 2026-10-09: frank-primary→frank-archon,
+frank-large→frank-dragoon, frank-secondary→frank-zealot.
+
+## 1. The knob, per engine
+| Endpoint | Knob |
+|---|---|
+| frank-primary (radiance, dankserver :7770) | `FRANK_PRIMARY_SERVED_NAME` in `scripts/frank-primary.env` → `--served-model-name` |
+| frank-large (halogen flash-server, dankclaw :7770) | `HALOGEN_MODEL_ID` in `scripts/frank-large.env` |
+| frank-secondary (llama.cpp, dankclaw :7771) | `ALIAS` in `scripts/frank-secondary.env` → `--alias` |
+
+Also flip the serve-script defaults (`: "${ALIAS:=…}"`, the `:?` gate messages).
+`scripts/deploy-remote.sh` has no alias references — the deployer needs no edit.
+
+## 2. Consumers that key on the id (all in ONE change)
+- Seams: `tests/frank_{secondary,large,primary}_unit.bats` — fixture env value,
+  the argv assertion (`--alias`), the env grep pin, the `-e HALOGEN_MODEL_ID=` render
+  assertion.
+- OpenWebUI (Dankclaw, rootless quadlet, `webui.db`): `model.id`+`name`,
+  `access_grant.resource_id` (`resource_type='model'`), `openai.api_configs`
+  per-backend `model_ids`. Backup first (`webui.db.bak-YYYYMMDD`; the DB is WAL-mode).
+  No sqlite3 binary in the image → `podman exec -i open-webui python3 -` with a
+  script on stdin. Then `systemctl --user restart open-webui.service`. A stale id
+  fails SILENTLY: OpenWebUI intersects the backend `/v1/models` with `model_ids`, so
+  the picker just goes empty.
+- Hermes (`/home/dank/Containers/hermes/data/config.yaml`, root-owned → sudo):
+  `model.default`, the provider `models:` key, every `auxiliary:` route naming the
+  endpoint. Backup, surgical `sudo sed -i`, sweep `grep -rln <old-id>` over the data
+  dir (session JSONs are historical — leave), restart `hermes.service
+  hermes-webui.service` (user units).
+- Dev harnesses: `"model": "frank-…"` literals in `scripts/bench-*.py`,
+  `deep-probe.py`, `calib-push.py`, `fleet-probes-swift15.sh`, `autoresearch*`.
+- Docs: `shared/homepage/docs.html` (headings, api-id annotations, the
+  curl/opencode/Pi examples), endpoint runbooks, `AGENTS.md` Model Config,
+  `serverAppConfigs-docs/Agent/OMP Harness.md`, `Dankclaw/OpenWebUI.md`.
+- Harness side (`~/.omp/agent/models.yml` on the dev box) — ids and `modelRoles`
+  must name the same string; two ports on one host = two providers.
+
+## 3. Deploy + verify
+`./scripts/deploy.sh <host> --service <name>` per endpoint; keep the tree clean
+(untracked scratch files inside the repo fail the whole-tree gate — put probes in
+/tmp with a `node_modules` symlink to `tests/e2e/node_modules`).
+
+Verify on `/v1/models`, NEVER on a chat echo: radiance echoes the REQUESTED model
+name (a 200 proves nothing), llama.cpp and halogen ignore the requested id.
+
+```bash
+for u in 192.168.0.235:7770 192.168.0.143:7770 192.168.0.143:7771; do
+  curl -fsS "http://$u/v1/models"; done
+```
+
+OpenWebUI acceptance = a real browser as a family account: the welcome screen names
+the model and `POST /api/v1/chat/completions {"model":"<new-id>"}` answers.
+`GET /api/v1/models/list` returning `{"items":[],"total":0}` for that same account
+is a probe artifact, not a failure. Playwright notes: `locator.isVisible({timeout})`
+does NOT wait (returns immediately) — use `waitFor({state:'visible'})`; the composer
+is a contenteditable div, not a textarea; stable anchors are
+`getByRole('button', {name: /selected model/i})` and "How can I help you today?".
+
+## 4. Trap: green deploy, old config
+`deploy.sh` plans from repo paths and gates on the port. A systemd drop-in under
+`/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.service.d/` can override `Environment=FRANK_*_ENV_FILE`
+and `ExecStart` to a staging worktree, so the deploy restarts a DIFFERENT tree and
+reports healthy (this bit frank-primary for a day after a quantization campaign).
+After an LLM deploy, prove the running shape:
+
+```bash
+systemctl cat <unit>                       # drop-ins print at the bottom
+podman inspect <container> --format '{{json .Config.Cmd}}' | tr , '\n'
+```
+
+Before retiring such a drop-in: diff staging vs checkout for serve script/unit/env,
+and `git merge-base --is-ancestor <staging-HEAD> HEAD` so no campaign tuning is
+lost. Move it to `~/.AGENTTRASH/YYYYMMDD-topic/` (never `rm`), `daemon-reload`,
+restart, re-read `/v1/models`.

+---
+
+# Fleet service rename cutover (serverAppConfigs)
+
+Procedure proven 2026-10-10 renaming the three LLM services to their wire
+aliases (repo `55f87fc`). For any future full service rename.
+
+## Repo codemod
+1. `git mv` every tracked file whose path carries the old token
+   (`frank-<old>` → `frank-<new>`, plus `frank_<old>` bats seams).
+2. Content sweep over all tracked text files:
+   `git grep -Ilz '' | xargs -0 sed -i` with expressions for
+   `frank-<old>`, `FRANK_<OLD>`, `frank_<old>` → new forms; add the
+   `LLM_<OLD>` / `llm_<old>` / handler-name forms in the same pass.
+3. Known casualties to record: `scripts/patches/*.patch` context lines get
+   rewritten (patches stop applying byte-exact); historical prose adopts
+   the new name (one service, one name — Frank's rule).
+4. Fix sed-made-contradictory lore by hand: AGENTS.md Model Config
+   paragraph, any "keeps the old names" sentences. Do NOT enumerate the
+   retired names anywhere — the acceptance test is
+   `git grep -cE '<old forms>'` == 0 (case-insensitive too).
+5. Rename rollback tags in lockstep (docs quote tag names):
+   `git tag NEW OLD; git tag -d OLD`, push new, delete old refs on origin.
+6. Sweep the harness config comments too: `~/.omp/agent/models.yml`.
+
+## Deployer keying (why the sweep is safe)
+`scripts/deploy-plan.py` SERVICE_ORDER/host sets + `services_for_path`
+trio mapping; `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` `service_is_allowed` case,
+`deploy_service` dispatch, `relink_unit <service>` (symlink
+`/etc/systemd/system/<name>.service` → `scripts/<name>.service`),
+markers keyed by service name under `~/.local/state/serverAppConfigs/
+deploy-state/`. `add_pending_services` AUTO-TRASHES markers whose service
+is retired — no marker surgery needed if you skip a full drain.
+
+## Host cutover per endpoint (order matters)
+1. `sudo systemctl stop <old>`; rename `~/logs/frank_<old>.log` → new;
+   `podman rm -f` the old container name(s);
+   `sudo rm` the unit symlink + `multi-user.target.wants/<old>.service`;
+   `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`; trash the marker to
+   `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-fleet-rename/` with a NEUTRAL filename.
+2. `deploy.sh <host> --service <new-name>` (run from the main checkout;
+   refuses on a worktree branch). The handler relinks under the new name,
+   enables, restarts, health-gates.
+3. Do the harness-default-model endpoint LAST on its host, and never stop
+   an endpoint while a deploy on the other host is approaching its e2e
+   gate (the gate probes the live fleet).
+
+## Acceptance
+`/health` 200 + `/v1/models` shows the new id (radiance echoes requested
+names — verify on `/v1/models` only); unit active+enabled; new container
+name running; `git grep` zero on every checkout; e2e gate green;
+Prometheus job up (note: llama.cpp needs `--metrics` in the serve script
+for the scrape — absence is a pre-existing gap, not a rename regression).
+Out of scope: retired endpoint names (`frank-medium/small/npu`) and git
+history — old strings there are expected.

+description: "Trial a fork-locked GGUF (custom tensor types: ternary/PQ2_0/PTQ1_0, vendor Hadamard metadata) as a replacement payload on a fleet llama.cpp endpoint: identify the fork, close provenance of local variants, build the right binary, and run one trap-guarded census window that measures VRAM, per-slot window, tool/vision/reasoning channels, and long-context stability."
+---
+
+# Fork-locked GGUF trial on a live endpoint
+
+Use when a candidate GGUF carries **non-stock tensor types** (custom type ids, vendor metadata such as `prism.hadamard.*`) so mainline llama.cpp refuses it or loads a sibling `F16` file silently with garbage. Pairs with `gguf-header-vram-fit-analysis` (paper pricing); this skill is the *measure-it* half.
+
+## 1. Header census decides everything downstream
+Range-parse `resolve/main/<file>.gguf` bytes 0–48 MiB (metadata is ~11 MiB at 250k vocab; GGUF v3 strings are **u64**-length). Extract: `general.architecture`, `block_count`, `full_attention_interval`, `attention.head_count_kv`, `key_length`/`value_length`, `context_length` (target window > native ⇒ YaRN), `<arch>.nextn_predict_layers` (absent ⇒ no drafter, ever), tensor-type histogram, and per-tensor byte sizes from consecutive `offset` deltas ⇒ exact bpw.
+- `KV = full_layers × head_count_kv × key_length` elements/token **per cache**; only full-attention layers bill per token, linear/DeltaNet layers bill a fixed state per slot.
+- Ternary packs shrink weights only. At 262,144 tokens KV (16 full layers, 4×256) = 16.0 GiB f16 / 8.5 GiB q8_0 / 4.5 GiB q4_0 — 3× the 6.71 GiB of weights. **The cache is the wall, never the pack.**
+
+## 2. Fork identification and tag ancestry
+- Map custom type id → name from the vendor fork (`ggml/include/ggml.h` on its branch, e.g. `GGML_TYPE_PQ2_0 = 142`, `PTQ1_0 = 143`).
+- `GET /repos/<fork>/compare/<tag>...<branch>` → `ahead_by` + commit subjects tells whether the newest **release** contains a fix, without reading history. Release workflows lie by omission: grep the workflow for the flag you need (e.g. prebuilt CUDA lacked `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS` → quantized/mixed KV silently runs flash attention on CPU, ~2× slower; vendor issue #267).
+
+## 3. Close provenance of payload variants already on disk
+`sha256sum` the local file (7.2 GB ≈ 15 s NVMe), then search the Hub (`/api/models?search=<name>`, `/api/models/<repo>?blobs=true` → sibling `lfs.sha256` + size). Equal size + different sha = re-weighted variant, not a corrupt copy. Known houses: `dealignai/*-CRACK-*` (uncensored), `ManniX-ITA/*-MTP-GGUF` (appended MTP head ≈ +450 MB, restores a drafter the official file lacks). Same size/geometry ⇒ the VRAM verdict carries across variants; behaviour (refusals, tool calls) does not.
+
+## 4. Build recipe (Dankclaw, RTX 3090)
+`/usr/local/cuda` does not exist for non-interactive shells; `/usr/bin/nvcc` is a Debian wrapper. Mirror the known-good cache instead of guessing:
+```
+cmake -G Ninja -B build-cuda-prism -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+  -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/usr/bin/nvcc -DCMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-13 \
+  -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=86-real -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DGGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS=ON
+```
+nvcc 12.4 refuses gcc 15 (`gcc-13`). FA template instances dominate the build (~150/804 in 12 min); park it with `pkill -f "[r]un-<build>"` + `pkill -x ninja` before timing anything — the bracket stops `pkill -f` matching your own ssh cmdline.
+
+## 5. One-window census (never two outages)
+Fetch through a committed script (`-fsSL --fail-with-body`, byte count + LFS sha, no resume, no token in argv), then stage `/tmp` throwaways: candidate env fed to the **repo serve script** via its `*_ENV_FILE` override (never edit remote config), and a runner whose `trap restore EXIT` always kills the candidate by pid and `systemctl start` the production unit + health-polls to 200.
+Order inside the window: copy the production log aside (serve scripts truncate it) → stop unit → wait `memory.used < 1500` → boot candidate → `/health`, boot ledger (`KV buffer`, `compute buffer`, `flash`), `nvidia-smi --query-compute-apps`, `/v1/models`, `/props`, `/slots` (per-slot `n_ctx` is the harness contract, `pool/parallel`), chat probe (does thinking land in `reasoning_content` or `content` — a vendor `--reasoning-in-content true` default breaks the harness channel), tool-call probe (name + valid-JSON `arguments`), 512 px solid-colour vision probe, then a ~190k-token `/completion` fill reading `timings`. Kill the server, then `llama-bench` dtype arms (`-c <pool> -np <slots> -ctk/-ctv -b 2048 -ub 2048 -p 4096 -n 128 -r 1`) under a 1 Hz `nvidia-smi` sampler, `peak_gpu_mib=$(sort -n | tail -1)` per arm. Skip `-mmp 1` unless `-mmproj` is also passed.
+
+## 6. Gates that outvote the memory table
+Vendor `KNOWN_ISSUES.md` + open issues (quantized-KV resets near 200k, inert ngram/`--cache-reuse` on hybrid memory, malformed `tool_calls`, prompt-cache loss from re-rendered reasoning); base alignment (an uncensored endpoint replaced by a censored base is a fleet-wide capability loss); and which harness roles point at the endpoint (`models.yml` + `modelRoles`) — tool-heavy roles fail loudly on a `tool_calls` defect. Repo seams pinning `-ctk/-ctv` literals must be re-keyed to read the env file, so a retune moves one file, not two.

+
+## Fault-autopsy snippets
+- Engine-fault census: grade rows with `ok:false` + empty text = engine, not model (signature-default trap: "AssertionError × N" with empty text = grades never executed).
+- Runaway-chain detector (HLE loops): gen rows with `finish=="length"` AND completion_tokens==max AND empty text = reasoning degenerated into repetition; measure pre/post any quantization change to separate model behavior from engine artifacts.

+Recover frank-intelligence-bench runs on the dank-fleet after engine faults (poison graders, judge swaps, supervisor deaths).
+
+## Laws (friction-earned 2026-10-10/11)
+1. **A code fix is only real after the supervisor restarts.** Bun loads code at spawn; an on-disk fix never reaches the running process. Kill `_exec`, relaunch — takeover law makes resume cheap.
+2. **A judge cohort is all-or-nothing.** Never mix judges on one eval's grade rows. Void ALL grade rows for LLM-judged evals (`phase == "grade"`), KEEP all `gen` rows (target output is judge-independent) — resume rejudges from cache.
+3. **Poison census signatures:** grade rows with empty text + forced FAIL = engine, not model. `unparseable verdict` storm = judge output class (empty `content` + chain in `reasoning_content`; or 2048-tok truncation before verdict JSON). Default census sig `AssertionError` masked a poison shift — treat mass-default sigs as red flags.
+4. **Detached launch form matters:** from a short-lived harness shell, `(setsid nohup cmd & )` (subshell) gets cgroup-reaped within minutes — silent death, stale `worker.pid`, no log line. Proven form: `setsid nohup cmd >> log.txt 2>&1 < /dev/null & disown` as the tail of the same shell (survived 6 h overnight).

+- Judge cutover variant: void ALL `phase==grade` rows for the judged evals (no ts filter), edit `run.json` `judge` field, relaunch.
+- Validate the judge endpoint first: live probe both directions (correct + incorrect candidate); a good judge returns bare verdict JSON fast.
+- Resume proof = a specific known step flipping FAIL→PASS (or vice versa) in the log within minutes.

+Repo `~/Projects/frank-job-hunt` (Gitea `dank/frank-job-hunt` on Dankclaw 192.168.0.143:3000). Production: Dankserver user timers `frank-job-sweep.timer` 07:30, `frank-job-digest.timer` 08:15 (`Linger=yes`). ntfy relay: Dankclaw quadlet `ntfy.service`, route `ntfy.franksdank.cloud` (no anubis), LAN record in `hosts/custom.list` (Pi-hole v6 file at `/home/dank/Containers/pihole/etc-pihole/hosts/custom.list`; v6 API paths are hostile — edit the file, then `podman exec pihole pihole restartdns`). Secrets: `~/.config/frank-job-hunt.env` (600, workstation + Dankserver).

+## Law (validated 2026-10-11)
+- The fleet judge (`frank-zealot`, dankclaw:7771) is a **ranker, never a gate** — it inflates anything reaching it (non-technical roles scored 88-91). All discrimination lives in deterministic gates (`agents/lib/gates.ts`); zealot only ranks survivors.
+- Thinking-model fault: verdict lands in `reasoning_content` with `content:""` → judge sends `chat_template_kwargs:{enable_thinking:false}` (0.7s clean JSON).
+- **Family beats topic**: role family (recruiter/sales/finance/PM/designer/people-ops/revops/…) gates `gate:scope` unconditionally — no infra-token override ("DevOps Recruiter" is recruiting). Compound technical titles keep the `INFRA_TITLE` override via `NEG_TITLE` branch.
+- **gate:region**: remote is US-only (visa reality). "Remote - Bangalore" = onsite abroad → gate; `US` regex pass wins over `NONUS` match ("U.S. & Canada" passes).
+
+## Gate hardening loop (live-census, TDD)
+1. `bun agents/sweep.ts --dry` (full lane ≈ 30–90 s; 852 postings ≈ 62 pass / 790 filed).
+2. Classify leaks in the top-10: family gap / region gap / scoring tail. Accept long tail (Director/Founder edge cases) — digest + human curation is the design.
+3. Token fix in `gates.ts` regexes (`NEG_FAMILY` = no override; `METRO`/`US`/`NONUS` for arrangement). NEVER dedupe-check by memory — read file first; the file has bitten line-offset edits repeatedly.
+4. Pin every leak with a named regression test in `agents/test/gates.test.ts` before/with the fix.
+5. `bun test agents/test/ && bun x tsc --noEmit` — hooks re-run these at commit.
+6. Ship: `git commit` (pre-commit = tests + tsc + docs-link + secret scan) → `git push` → `ssh dankserver 'cd ~/Projects/frank-job-hunt && git pull'` (timers pull from master; Dankserver drift = tomorrow's run is stale).
+
+## Registry verification (monthly, `agents/verify-registry.ts`)
+Scouts' `ats`/`ats_identifier` are guesses (14/84 were wrong). Ritual:
+1. `bun agents/verify-registry.ts` (dry, ~70 s serial) → REPAIR census.
+2. `--write` applies; repairs with live jobs preferred over empty boards (0-job boards 404 later).
+3. Unresolved = honest manual lane (vanity Workdays, self-built ATS incl. majors, neogov) — NOT a code bug; per-entry error census in sweep output is the same signal.
+4. Update `targets/README.md` census lines + `docs/log.md`; commit/push/pull (same ship step).
+
+## Pitfalls
+- `--ats=<x>` smoke filters the census line — "N API-sweepable" reflects the filter, not the registry; don't diagnose a phantom bug.
+- Workday vanity careers URLs (`careers.uw.edu`) are NOT CXS-API-resolvable; tenant-only identifiers are (site path required).
+- Root `README.md` vs `targets/README.md` name collision in edit anchors: use full path headers.

+---
+
+# frank-model-bench — Grilling State (design settled 2026-10-09, awaiting build go-ahead)
+
+Target dir `/home/blank/Projects/frank-model-bench` is EMPTY (no git). Init from zero.
+
+## Settled design decisions
+- **Scope**: Tiered reproduction of AA Intelligence Index v4.3.2 (10 evals, 4 categories; Agents 30 / Coding 20 / General 30 / Science 20).
+  - **Tier A (local, self-graded)**: SciCode, Terminal-Bench 4.0 (podman on Dankclaw via ssh one-shot), AA-LCR, HLE incl. image questions (vision towers).
+  - **Tier B (external dep)**: GDP.pdf (LiteParse+vision+judge).
+  - **Tier C (never run; AA reference rows only)**: AA-Briefcase, GDPval-AA, AutomationBench-AA, AA-Omniscience (public set is 600/6000 — demoted), CritPt (key-gated grader API 10/24h — demoted).
+  - Locally-run weight ≈ 45% of AA index weight. Headline = "Index-lite" (category-weighted over run evals, formula on-page).
+- **Stack**: Bun/TS orchestrator (UI, queue, ledger, reports) shelling out to commit-pinned vendored uv venvs per upstream harness (inspect_ai, Harbor, SciCode/HLE scripts). `evals.yml` manifest pins git URL+SHA+entrypoint+args+repeats per eval.
+- **UI**: local web dashboard, localhost bind only, SSE live tail, start wizard; CLI `frank-bench`.
+- **Endpoints**: registry `hosts.yml` (name, base_url, api_key_ref, model, ctx, backend, role, cap). Discovery = probe known fleet hosts ports 7770-7799 `/v1/models` + `/props`, confirm-then-append. Fleet: frank-archon dankserver:7770 (radiance TP=2 R9700, 200k), frank-dragoon dankclaw:7770 (halogen, 200k×2), frank-zealot dankclaw:7771 (llama.cpp 3090, 200k×2). All OpenAI-compat + API key + vision.
+- **Judge**: self-hosted fleet model ONLY, default frank-zealot; hard no-self-judge rotation rule. Scores labeled `local-judge`, drift vs AA hosted graders expected/documented.
+- **Execution**: per-endpoint runs, strictly serial queue, one request in flight per eval (per-endpoint cap), temp 0.6 reasoning ON, max_tokens cap 32,768, AA-style 30-attempt retry, per-sample timeout = ctx ÷ measured decode rate.
+- **Durability**: per-sample JSONL ledger is canonical artifact; resume mid-eval; reports commit to git (reports/<model>/<run-id>/{index.html,data.json,hf-card.md,manifest+ledger SHA-256}), ledgers gitignored.
+- **AA comparison**: free Data API key → `bench sync-aa` pins headline indices; per-benchmark refs hand-seeded in `references/aa-scores.yml` (source URL + fetched-at + index version per row). Free=100 req/24h headline-only; Pro=500 req/24h per-benchmark (stubbed for later).
+- **Datasets**: `bench init-data` checklist (hf auth login + accept terms cais/hle, surgeai/GDP.pdf, Harbor Hub); checksum cache ~/.cache/frank-bench/datasets; gated evals refuse with fix-URL and continue suite.
+- **Methodology updates**: version-pinned manifests + immutable history; update = one commit: evals.yml bump + docs/methodology rewrite + log.md + resync snapshot. AA cadence ~2-3 minor versions/week; changelog artificialanalysis.ai/changelog.
+- **KB**: `docs/` inside repo, OKF v0.1 (type required; index.md per dir; log.md newest-first; .okf/config.yaml from omp-docs); Obsidian-wikilink convention per serverAppConfigs-docs.
+- **Git**: Gitea on Dankclaw remote, master base, worktree branch per milestone, pre-commit: bun test + shellcheck + OKF validate. Secrets: ~/.config/frank-bench/secrets.env 600.
+- **Tests**: bun test w/ scripted mock OpenAI endpoint (full run→ledger→HTML offline); Playwright dashboard e2e; `bench smoke` manual real-endpoint.
+- **Milestones**: M1 scaffold+registry+mock; M2 SciCode E2E w/ real report trio; M3 rest of Tier A + queue/resume; M4 dashboard UI + discovery wizard; M5 GDP.pdf + AA snapshot + peer tables.
+- **Reports**: single-page HTML, offline-openable, no external assets; per-benchmark rows: local | AA ref | Δ | repeats | n | graded-by; Tier C rows "AA reference only"; speed strip captured (no AA speed compare).
+
+## Key research facts
+- AA Data API: base https://artificialanalysis.ai/api/v2, `x-api-key` header, OpenAPI at /api/v2/openapi; free = /language/models/free headline indices.
+- Eval repos: SciCode1/SciCode (HF, Apache), cais/hle (gated, MIT, 2500 q, ~0.27GB), ArtificialAnalysis/AA-LCR (public, Equality Checker prompt public), surgeai/GDP.pdf (gated, Gemini 3.5 judge, inspect_ai), harbor-framework/terminal-bench 4.0 (66 tasks, CONTAINERS_BACKEND=podman, Harbor Hub gated), AA-Omniscience-Public 600q, CritPt public grading API 10/24h.
+- AA org repos: Stirrup (MIT agent harness), aa-agentperf-local, aiperf, optima, StirrupJS.

+description: "Add or repair a cloned voice on the dank fleet: pack builder, the reference.wav contract, the boot warm hook (argv-cap and env-quote laws), and how to prove a voice really answers."
+---
+
+# Adding (or repairing) a cloned voice on the dank fleet
+
+Repo law lives in `serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Voice Packs.md` and
+`Frank TTS Engine.md` — read those for the pack format. This skill is the
+**operating sequence plus the traps that cost real time on 2026-10-18**.
+
+## Stack, fast
+
+- `frank-tts-engine` — arm A `qwentts.cpp tts-server`, container-internal `:8880`,
+  publishes **no port**. Reach it with `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl …`.
+- `frank-tts` — OpenAI façade on host `:7772`; resolves voice **by name**.
+- Packs: `/home/dank/voices/<name>/` with `reference.wav` (+ manifest, `.spk`,
+  `.rvq`). Builder: `scripts/build-voice-pack.sh` (crop 19.84–25 s, first 10 s of
+  any source is forbidden).
+- Weights: `/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF/` —
+  `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh [--verify-only]` (1.4 GiB, ~18 s
+  on the LAN; verifies byte count + Hub LFS sha256).
+
+## Sequence
+
+1. Build the pack (dry-run first — sizes are arithmetic and asserted).
+2. Deploy the engine only if its files changed:
+   `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine`
+   (first run builds the image: ~10 min recursive source clone).
+3. Register/warm: `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`
+   — registers **every** pack each run (the engine replaces a name it already
+   holds; `tools/tts-server.cpp:148`), then synthesizes twice per voice.
+4. Prove from the consumer side, not the config:
+   `curl -s localhost:7772/v1/audio/voices` then a real
+   `POST /v1/audio/speech` and listen to the bytes.
+
+## Trap 1 — the kernel's argument cap (this broke the first deploy)
+
+`/usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long` in the warm log ⇒ a request body was
+passed as **one argv string**. Linux caps a single argument at
+`MAX_ARG_STRLEN = 131 072 bytes`; a ~1 MB `reference.wav` base64's to ~1.27 MB.
+curl never runs, and hooks report it as `HTTP no response` while `/health` is
+green. Fix = write the body to a file and use `--data-binary @file`; feed the
+payload through a redirection, not `$(base64 …)`.
+Regression-test shape: **real** curl + real listener + a fixture >128 KB, so the
+kernel (not a stub) produces the failure. Any pack over ~96 KB trips it.
+
+## Trap 2 — two readers of the env file disagree about quotes
+
+`bash set -a; source` strips `"…"`. podman's `--env-file` (how the unit really
+reads it) does **not**. A value interpolated into a JSON body therefore arrives
+quoted and invalidates it. Test both readers, not just `source`.
+
+## Trap 3 — locally built images skip rebuilds on a stale hash
+
+`build_compose_image` compares a `cfhash` label; it must cover every file the
+`Containerfile` `COPY`s, or an edited `app.py`/hook deploys "successfully" while
+the container runs old code.
+
+## Measured numbers (2026-10-18, deployed build — retire the trial's ladder)
+
+| thing | value |
+|---|---|
+| first synthesis of a freshly registered voice | 1 883 ms |
+| later short requests | 1 226–1 283 ms |
+| ~110-word request (repeat) | 9.4 s / 9.8 s — tracks generated audio, not state |
+| whole boot warm, 3 packs | 15.2 s |
+| engine resident | ~4.0 GiB |
+
+The trial's `6.2–8.0 s cold → 0.5 ms warm` claim does **not** reproduce; warming
+is for registration (registry is memory-only, re-register ≠ warm) plus ~0.6 s.
+
+## Ops notes
+
+- `systemctl --user stop` **removes** the quadlet container — `podman start` then
+  finds nothing. To run the engine without its `ExecStartPost` hook, use a
+  separate container, not stop+start.
+- `podman cp` of a fixed script into a running container is a **trial only**: the
+  layer dies with the container. Merge + redeploy to make it durable.
+- Nothing on the voice pair exposes `/metrics`; Prometheus can't scrape it (a
+  blackbox HTTP probe on 7772 is the only honest option).

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

+---
+
+Answer "can model M fit window W on endpoint E (plus vision?)" **before** downloading anything. The GGUF header carries the truth; measured boots are the price list.
+
+## 1. Range-parse the GGUF header from the Hub (no download)
+
+`GET` the `resolve/main/<file>.gguf` URL with `Range: bytes=0-N` and a `User-Agent: curl/8` header, parse GGUF in Python (`struct`):
+
+- Layout: magic `GGUF` (read `buf[0:4]` directly — do NOT `read_string()` it), u32 version, u64 ntensors, u64 nkv, then KV pairs (v3: u64 string lengths; v2: u32), then tensor-info table (name, ndim, dims u64[], type u32, offset u64). Handle EVERY array element type or the parse desyncs mid-metadata.
+- **Metadata is >8 MiB** when vocab is ~250k (tokenizer arrays live in the KV section). Fetch 32–64 MiB.
+- **Per-tensor byte sizes without a downloader**: the data section is in table order — `size(i) = offset(i+1) - offset(i)`, last = `file_size - header_end - offset(last)`. Then `bits/elem = bytes*8/prod(dims)`. That names unknown type ids by their rate (2.125 bpw ⇒ ternary-in-2-bit-slots + fp16 scale/128; 16.0 ⇒ BF16; 32 ⇒ F32) and totals weights per type.
+
+Extract: `general.architecture`, `block_count`, `full_attention_interval`, `attention.head_count_kv`, `key_length`/`value_length`, `context_length`, `embedding_length`, `ssm.*`, and **`<arch>.nextn_predict_layers`** — its absence (plus `block_count` = real layers, not +1) means **no in-file MTP head** (MTP is a property of the file, not the flags). Type histogram decides stock vs fork: a type id above stock `GGML_TYPE_COUNT` is fork lock-in — read the fork's `ggml/include/ggml.h` enum to name it.
+
+## 2. KV rate law (the wall)
+
+For hybrid (qwen35-style) models only the FULL-attention layers bill per token; linear/DeltaNet layers bill a fixed state per SLOT (≈50–60 MiB/slot on 27B-class hybrids — noise vs KV, but it is what lets N slots fit).
+
+```
+elems/token/cache = (block_count / full_attention_interval) × head_count_kv × key_length
+B/token           = elems × bytesK + elems × bytesV      (K and V both)
+bytes/elem: f16=2.0, q8_0=1.0625, q4_0=0.5625, q4_1=0.578125
+```
+
+Fleet-verified instances: qwen35-9B (8 full layers) 32 KiB/token f16; qwen35-27B (16 full) 64 KiB/token f16, 34 KiB q8_0, 18 KiB q4_0. A low-bit WEIGHT quant never moves this line — state it explicitly, it is the question people actually ask. `--flash-attn on` is required for quantized V; quantized KV needs a `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS=ON` build.
+
+## 3. Price non-KV from MEASURED boots, never a formula
+
+Two anchors beat one:
+- **Own repo**: closest runbook boot (same arch, same card, ideally same mmproj): `non_kv = boot_used − rate × boot_pool`, then swap weights/mmproj/drafter/ubatch-rung deltas.
+- **Publisher**: their published benchmark/server reports (e.g. a `community-benchmarks/<card>.md` or `KV-CACHE.md`) carry peak `nvidia-smi` and a steady-state figure for a named argv — back out their overhead = steady − weights − KV(× their pool) − mmproj. Divergence between the two anchors IS your uncertainty band; report both ends.
+Card/vendor peak-VRAM at bench context also calibrates compute buffers at small ubatch; the fleet's ubatch-rung costs (≈0.3 GiB @1024, ≈0.75 GiB @2048 on a 27B) cover the rest.
+
+Card ceiling from settled boots (`used + free`, e.g. 24,125 MiB on the 3090), not the spec sheet. An mmproj bills ~1.5× its file size. Keep ≥1 GiB headroom when ranking arms; tightest proven fleet fit is 489 MiB.
+
+## 4. Gates beyond VRAM
+
+- **Target window > `context_length`** ⇒ YaRN required (`--rope-scale = target/native`); quality at >1.2–1.5× on aggressive quants is unmeasured — say so.
+- **Pool divides across slots**: `n_ctx_slot = CTX_SIZE / PARALLEL`; the per-slot number is the harness contract, and the endpoint's role (e.g. compaction hub needing ≥170k) picks the geometry.
+- **Fork/custom-quant lock-in checklist** (answer all, cite ids):
+  1. which fork/branch, and does the pinned release tag contain the needed fixes — `GET /compare/<tag>...prism` and read `ahead_by` + commit subjects (a tag 5 commits behind contains everything merged earlier);
+  2. host CPU traps (e.g. AVX-512 load segfaults crash even with all layers GPU-offloaded);
+  3. **does the release workflow pass the build flags the contract needs** — grep the release workflow's cmake args: prebuilts often omit `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS`, and without it mismatched/unsupported K/V types silently run flash attention on the CPU;
+  4. drafter availability (in-file `nextn`, a paired drafter, or nothing) — no drafter means the decode regression is unfixable;
+  5. pack choice per architecture (the vendor's throughput table is generation-specific; a community report on the same GPU family outranks it);
+  6. behavior/role risk: base model censorship posture, `tool_calls` defects, `reasoning_effort` template gate, prompt-cache `--cache-ram` vs host RAM actually available.
+- Vision: needs `--mmproj`; probe with ≥256 px solid color; only the OpenAI `image_url` content part reaches the model.
+
+## 5. Output
+
+Table of arms (pack × KV dtype × slot geometry) → KV MiB, total, free vs ceiling, FITS/FITS-tight/NO FIT, with the uncertainty band; then the gate list. State every `[INFERENCE]`/estimate. The boot ledger (verbosity 4), not the arithmetic, is the referee; benching requires stop+mask per fleet policy.

+## Recipes (all verified live 2026-10-18)
+- **Open PR** (token only needed for private repos; this one reads publicly but
+  POST needs auth): `POST /pulls` JSON `{title, head, base:"main", body}`.
+- **PATCH PR title/body**: `PATCH /pulls/<n>` with JSON body `{title}` and/or
+  `{body}`. Returns 201 with the full PR. Use `jq -n --arg` to build JSON; for
+  multi-line bodies write the text to a temp file and `--arg b "$(cat b.txt)"`.
+  (jq CLI: a bare `---` argument after the program is parsed as a flag → error;
+  fold footers into the --arg string instead.)
+- **List open PRs**: `GET /pulls?state=open` → `jq -r '.[] | "#\(.number) \(.head.ref) \(.title)"'`.
+- **Read PR**: `GET /pulls/<n>` (no token; public repo) → `jq -c '{state,merged,mergeable,head:.head.ref}'`.
+- **MERGE**: `POST /pulls/<n>/merge` with `-H 'Content-Type: application/json'`
+  and body **`{"Do":"merge"}`** — this build REQUIRES the `Do` field:
+  `{}` or `{"DoNotMerge":false,...}` → 422; `{"Do":"merge"}` → 200 +
+  `{"state":"closed","merged":true,"merge_commit_sha":"..."}`. Verify with a
+  plain GET /pulls/<n> afterwards (merge endpoint's own stdout may not parse).
+  Merge is the `--no-ff` merge commit on main; then `git -C ~/.omp fetch && git
+  merge --ff-only origin/main` propagates the live deployment.
+- **Issues**: same shape at `/issues` (`POST {title, body}`), `/issues/<n>/comments`
+  (`POST {body}`, `PATCH .../comments/<id>`) — both work with the temp-cfg auth.
+
+## Review comments: the API lies on 1.27.3 (learned 2026-10-18)
+- `GET /pulls/<n>/comments` (inline review comments) → **404 `not found` on every
+  route** (token or not, `?pull_request_id=` or not) even when a review with
+  comments exists.
+- `GET /pulls/<n>/reviews` works (shows `state`, `comments_count`) but bodies are empty.
+- **The comments are readable from the PR HTML**:
+  `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/command-center/pulls/<n> -o /tmp/pr.html`
+  then extract `<div class="content comment-content">` blocks
+  (python: `re.finditer(r'comment-content', src)` → widen ±800 chars, strip tags).
+  Duplicates appear (suggested-change UI shows text twice); dedupe mentally.
+- Per-conversation resolve API also 404s — flag resolutions in an issue comment instead.
+
+## Body-footer law (AGENTS.md)
+Every issue/PR body ends with `---` line then `cwd: <wd> · session: <id>`. Keep
+it inside the --arg string (not a `---` CLI arg).
+
+## Gotchas
+- Content-Type: POSTs with `-d @file.json` MUST carry
+  `-H 'Content-Type: application/json'` on the command line. `-H` entries put in
+  the curl config file are ignored for this (header ordering quirk).
+- `xdg-open <pr-url>` lands the PR in Frank's Firefox the moment it is opened —
+  law, not courtesy.
+- `jq: cannot index "not found" with "user"` = endpoint 404'd into an error
+  object; check `-w '%{http_code}'` before blaming jq.
+- The token in `.git/config`'s remote URL is the same secret; the credential

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

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

+description: "(HISTORICAL for dank/command-center — switched to trunk-based 2026-10-18, no develop branch.) Back-merge main into develop with pure git plumbing when branch checkout is policy-blocked; avoids the polluted-base evil-merge trap."
+---
+
+# Git-flow back-merge via plumbing (checkout blocked)
+
+## Applicability
+The command-center repo retired `develop` on 2026-10-18 (trunk-based; see its AGENTS.md § Trunk-based SDLC). Use this only in repos still running git-flow where a `main -> develop` back-merge must land and branch checkout is forbidden. Never merge while HEAD is a session branch — the merge silently lands on it.
+
+## Procedure
+1. `git fetch origin` and verify with `git ls-remote --heads`.
+2. Find the CLEAN fork point: `mb=$(git merge-base origin/develop origin/main)`. NEVER build the merge commit with a develop-side that already contains main (e.g. a previous broken merge): merge-base then equals main, main-side looks "unchanged", and stale develop content wins everywhere — a clean rc=0 evil merge. Sanity-trigger: if a merge you expect to conflict resolves rc=0, suspect the base.
+3. Real merge, no worktree: `out=$(git merge-tree --write-tree <clean-dev-tip> origin/main); rc=$?; tree=$(echo "$out"|head -1)`. rc=1 = conflicts; list them from the "Conflicted file info" section (lines starting with a 6-digit mode), NOT from `ls-files -u` in some other worktree.
+4. Resolve in index only: `export GIT_INDEX_FILE=/tmp/idx.$$; git read-tree $tree; git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$(git rev-parse origin/main:<path>),<path>` per conflicted path (pick a side deliberately — say which in the message).
+5. `final=$(git write-tree)`; prove no markers: `git grep -l '^<<<<<<<' "$final"` must be empty (run it correctly — an empty count from a malformed invocation hides markers).
+6. `commit=$(git commit-tree "$final" -p <clean-dev-tip> -p origin/main -m "...")`; `git push --force-with-lease=develop:<current-dev-tip> origin "$commit:develop"` (lease prevents clobbering concurrent pushes; document superseded commits). A back-merge onto an untouched develop is additive — plain push, no lease needed.
+7. Verify ALL of: `git merge-base --is-ancestor origin/main origin/develop`; grep a distinctive merged value in `origin/develop:<file>` (content, not just ancestry); `git diff --stat origin/main origin/develop` matches expectations.
+
+## Traps
+- `merge-tree` writes conflict markers INTO the tree for conflicted paths — always overwrite every conflicted path before commit-tree.
+- A wrong tree pushed as a merge commit makes every later merge against it resolve "cleanly" to stale content; fix by rebuilding from the clean fork point and force-with-lease, citing the broken commits in the message.
+- Gitea PR merge API needs `Content-Type: application/json` AND `{"Do":"merge"}` in the BODY (query param alone 422s); a 405 "Please try again later" right after the base branch moved is transient mergeability recomputation — wait a few seconds and retry.

+
+# Gluetun boot-race: netns dependents dead at boot, service is active
+
+## Signature
+After a dankclaw reboot, `gluetun.service` is ACTIVE, yet e2e fails on
+`search.franksdank.cloud` (502 on the authenticated pass), the Marreta tile
+shows a blank interstitial, and the homepage crawl reports vhost resets.

+```
+Active: inactive (dead)
+<host> systemd[2224]: Dependency failed for <dep>.service
+<host> systemd[2224]: <dep>.service: Job ... failed with result 'dependency'
+```
+
+## Cause
+Quadlet `Network=gluetun.container` emits `Requires=`/`After=` on
+`gluetun.service`. When gluetun's start job fails once transiently at boot
+and `Restart=` re-arms it seconds later, the dependents' start jobs are
+already consumed and are NEVER re-armed — they sit `inactive (dead)`
+indefinitely while gluetun runs. `Restart=always` on the dependent does not
+help: the service never ran, so the restart policy never armed.
+
+## Diagnosis census (rootless, run as `dank`, NO sudo)
+```
+export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u)
+uptime   # reboot is the trigger
+systemctl --user is-active gluetun searxng searxng-valkey marreta marreta-browser
+systemctl --user status <dep> --no-pager | head  # "Dependency failed" line
+journalctl --user --since "<boot>" | grep -iE "<dep>|dependency"
+```
+Dependents of the gluetun netns on dankclaw: `searxng`, `marreta`,
+`marreta-browser` (valkey is plain-networked and survives).
+
+## Recovery (order matters: browser before marreta)
+```
+systemctl --user start marreta-browser marreta
+systemctl --user start searxng
+```
+Verify: `podman ps` shows them; `curl http://127.0.0.1:8081/healthz` (searxng)
+and gluetun-published 8082 (marreta) answer; then rerun the Playwright gate
+(`tests/e2e/run.sh`) — the 12-crawl / 13-sso / 16-marreta specs are the trip
+wires for this fault.
+
+## Distinguish from the dead-pause-process failure
+The 2026-09-16 rootless-pause-process death breaks ALL podman commands and
+every quadlet loops; this fault leaves podman fully functional and only the
+gluetun-dependency chain is dead. The reboot repairs the former; manual
+cascade-start repairs this one.
+
+## Open gap (dankclaw, as of 2026-10-15)
+The race recurred (observed 2026-10-15 boot 01:41). Quadlet law for these
+units has no cure inside the `.container` files themselves; options are a
+systemd user-level drop-in on gluetun
+(`ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/systemctl --user restart searxng marreta`) or
+converting the dependents' dependency to `BindsTo` + `StartLimit` retry
+semantics. Fleet precedent for boot-order pain: searxng/gluetun ordering,
+observability reboot gaps (AGENTS.md).

+---
+
+Two knobs: HALOGEN_CTX (hard per-request ceiling; longer prompt = 400 naming the limit, never truncation) and HALOGEN_KV_POOL_POSITIONS (ONE pool shared behind HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS). Ceiling raises buy a longer conversation; pool raises buy concurrency.
+
+Laws: native window 262,144, beyond it needs HALOGEN_ROPE_YARN (engine 400 text) so never extrapolate for sizing; seam band ctx <= pool <= slots*ctx (pool == slots*ctx => two maximum-length requests coexist, pool == ctx => one fills it); harness contextWindow = ceiling - 45056 (clamp max_tokens = min(maxTokens, window-est-4096), compaction at 85 %, chars/4 under-counts ~3 %) and pool-only changes do NOT move it; ~28 KiB/position measured (200,704 -> 5.5 GiB, 262,144 -> 7.2, 524,288 -> 14.6), quote the ledger reservation not the preflight formula (block scratch + ~115 MiB/slot); the 51.2 GB n-gram table is mmap page cache (Pin::None) so RAM the pool takes is RAM that table loses, re-measure the warm prompt-cache ratio (136x baseline) after a raise; engine ledger vs 121.2 GiB = weights 62.9 + KV + working (3.8 + 8.4*MAX_TOK/16384) + prompt cache + HALOGEN_HOST_RESERVE_GIB=20 + co-tenancy ~10-15.

+description: "Census whether halogen-flash-server's NPU small-model path can run on a Strix Halo host: image gate, amdxdna/XRT presence, IOMMU and fabric-clock blockers, enablement deltas."
+---
+
+Use when asked whether halogen/halogen-flash-server can use the XDNA2 NPU (embeddings, rerank, moderation/guard, decider, `qwen3.5-2b` generation, `flux2-klein-4b` images, `qwen3-asr-*`) on a Ryzen AI Max / Strix Halo host, or before proposing to enable it.
+
+## What the feature is (not a speed knob)
+
+The Flash trunk stays on the iGPU. `HALOGEN_NPU_MODELS=<names>` starts a second engine in the SAME container and on the SAME API port; the request's `model` field picks the executor. Unset → server identical to before. Each NPU model is a precompiled AIE-ML program (`devices/devices.hnpm`, per-partition `devices/u<N>.elf`, `devices/consts.hnpb`, `<id>.hnpw` weights, `tokenizer/tokenizer.json`), loaded via the HOST's XRT → kernel `amdxdna` → `/dev/accel/accel0`. One pass at a time; `HALOGEN_NPU_QUEUE` 64, overflow queues server-side, then `503 engine_busy`. Entry `entrypoint.sh` validates every file's bytes + sha256 against `/opt/halogen/npu/models.txt` before anything starts. NPU models run only in single-container "all" mode, NOT the `engine`/`api` split.

+
+## The two blockers and the enablement delta
+
+- **IOMMU must be on.** `amd_iommu=off` turns the NPU off (no PASID/SVA); `iommu=pt` keeps it. Needs a grub edit + reboot. `iommu_groups == 0` ⇒ off.
+- **Fabric clock must be pinned at the top `pp_dpm_fclk` level** (or `power_dpm_force_performance_level=high`); `auto` = unheld. GPU+NPU concurrently HANG Strix Halo machines and corrupt NPU results while that clock moves. Fix: root container with `-v /sys:/host/sys` (server holds it itself), or install `deploy/host/halogen-fabric-clock` + unit (~1 W). If it can't hold, the server FAILS CLOSED and prints the commands.
+- Container delta: `--device /dev/accel/accel0` + `HALOGEN_NPU_MODELS`; `--ulimit memlock=-1:-1` and `--group-add keep-groups` usually already present. Distro XRT: mount each of `libxrt_coreutil.so.2`, `libxrt_core.so.2`, `libxrt_driver_xdna.so.2` TWICE (once at `/opt/xilinx/xrt/lib/`, once at its own path) — never mount an `/opt/xilinx/xrt` holding only symlinks.
+
+## Costs to price before proposing
+
+- Upstream A/B: IOMMU translation ON costs **13–16 % prefill** (460 → 385 tok/s at 2,048 tokens, Ryzen AI Max+ 395); decode unaffected. Whether `iommu=pt` specifically costs that on a given box is a local measurement, not a published fact — run the image's own `sweep` after the reboot.
+- A few GB host RAM per NPU model (+8 GB FLUX, +1.6/4 GB ASR), and trunk decode drops while the NPU works (shared bus + power).
+
+## Laws / traps
+
+- Never probe the NPU beside the live service: stop + mask first (fleet benchmarking policy); this host class has a precedent of a concurrent GPU experiment needing a power cycle. Distinguish off vs wedged with `ip neigh show <ip>` from a peer.
+- `/dev/accel/accel0` existing and `amdxdna` probing cleanly does NOT mean the NPU works — with IOMMU off the failure is at context/PASID creation, not at the device node. Do not trust older notes claiming the node itself is missing.
+- `dmesg` lines like `Failed to alloc dev bo memory, ret -28` while large NPU models take turns at NPU memory are benign (vendor-documented); the server recovers.

+
+Use after generating a large HTML report (e.g. via `repo-change-html-report`) whose claims were partly reconstructed from session memory.

+- historical: `git show <sha> -- <file> | grep -E '^[+-].*(<token1>|<token2>)'`
+If the block was fabricated (plausible-looking pseudo-code), replace it with the real excerpt. If condensed, the block header must say "condensed" and every shown line must be real.

+### 4. Diagram claims: run the engine
+Behavioral diagrams (plan traces, closure graphs) must be re-derived by running the actual CLI:
+`python3 scripts/service-map.py plan --host <h> <path>` — then edit node labels, captions, and the prose count ("four services") to match output. Cross-check derived-set diagrams against the source relation (e.g. `grep -rl 'Network=gluetun.container' */**/*.container` for who rides a tunnel).
+
+### 5. Check for swallowed sections
+Large prior-session PUT ranges silently overwrite neighbors. Grep for headings/captions the plan promised; re-insert any that vanished, anchored on a fresh `read` of the region.
+
+### 6. Structural balance
+Python tag-balance pass over the file:
+- per-tag open/close counts (`div`, `pre`, `figure`, `svg`, `table`, `span`, `figcaption`)
+- running-div-depth scan printing per-section balance to localize stray closers
+Common defect: `.ln`/`.nt` pair emitted without its `.cg` wrapper → stray `</div>`; fix by opening `<div class="cg">` before the pair.
+
+### 7. Render proof
+`file://` is blocked on the shared browser — serve the dir: `bash` service `python3 -m http.server <port> --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory <dir>`, ready on that port. Then:
+- `browser.open({name, url: 'http://127.0.0.1:<port>/<file>'})`
+- DOM assertions via `tab.evaluate(() => …)` — NOT `tab.run` (that runs in Bun; no `document`). Sections are `<h2 id>` + siblings: scope queries to `document.body`/`document.querySelectorAll`, not `#ch5 …`.
+- screenshot the repaired regions (scroll via `tab.evaluate(el.scrollIntoView())`), then `tab.close()` and kill the server proc (`write proc://<name>/kill`).

+description: "Diagnose and repair LLM-judge \"unparseable verdict\" storms: judge-fail rows store no raw → reproduce live on the failing instance; root causes include empty model response (runaway reasoning chains, finish=length + content:\"\") and judge prose-form verdicts when JSON scaffold breaks; fix parser fallback + prove via restart rejudge."
+---
+
+Use when LLM-judge grades show an elevated "unparseable verdict" rate (baseline ~1%; storm = ≥5-10%).
+
+## Law
+Judge rows with `ok:false` store NO raw judge output (meta empty) — you are blind in the ledger. NEVER guess the cause from the ledger alone; reproduce the exact failing instance live.
+
+## Procedure
+1. **Census the rate**: filter ledger grade rows since a timestamp; rate = bad/total. Compare against the eval's baseline (≈1%). HLE with a 180B bare-JSON judge showed 11.8%.
+2. **Pull the failing instance**: pick the newest failing grade row; get its `instance` id and the latest `gen` row for that instance (latest-wins; ledger is append-only).
+3. **Reproduce live**: one-shot `bun -` (or equivalent) script: load registry host by judge name, call the judge function with that instance's exact question/answer/response, print `raw` head+tail. Judge raw text is ground truth.
+4. **Root-cause A — empty model response**: if `resp_len: 0`, the judge is fine; the MODEL produced no answer content. Census gens: `text` empty + `finish=length` + `completion_tokens == max_tokens` ⇒ **runaway reasoning chain**: the model wrote the whole budget into `reasoning` and never emitted `content`. Loop proof: 60-char block Counter over the reasoning tail (49 identical blocks = degeneration, e.g. `w4 w? w4 w?…`).
+5. **Root-cause B — prose verdict**: judges (esp. bare-JSON 180B class) drop the JSON scaffold when judging degenerate inputs (empty response) and emit plain `correct: no\nconfidence: 100`. Parser knowing only quoted `"correct": "no"` forms reports null = "unparseable" while the verdict is perfectly valid. Fix = add prose fallback regex `(?:^|\n)\s*correct\s*:\s*(yes|no)\b` after the JSON/quoted attempts, never before (JSON must win).
+6. **Baseline comparison before blaming the engine change**: for any model-behavior rate (runaway %, empty-answer %), census the previous (voided/`.AGENTTRASH/`) ledger the same way. Pre/post identical (18.5% vs 18.0%) ⇒ pre-existing model behavior, not the quantization/config under investigation. This keeps causal claims honest.
+7. **Verify the fix live**: restart the supervisor (poison law); pending `ok:false` grade rows re-grade on resume — the previously-blind rows flipping to real `fail` verdicts in the log is the proof.
+
+## Empty-content scoring law
+Runaway-chain empties score 0 honestly (AA-style truncating harness). Keep the score, publish the runaway census beside every number. Sampling changes (repetition_penalty, num_predict cap) deviate from AA posture and void+restart the eval — user decision, not an assistant fix.
+
+## Pitfalls
+- `podman logs 2>/dev/null`-style stderr discards make failure rows text-empty — check the capture path before inventing model-side causes (sandbox.ts fixed to `2>&1`).
+- `export RID=...` for python heredocs (plain `RID=` is invisible to `os.environ`).
+- Never `cd x && setsid ... & disown` expecting the cd to persist: `&` backgrounds the whole compound; foreground cwd is unchanged.

+---
+
+Use when a decision rests on a kernel/boot-line performance claim (`iommu=off` vs `pt`, a module param, a new engine flag) and the question is "does an upstream change retire this trade?", or when the answer must land as a Gitea issue comment.
+
+## 1. Census before theory (read-only, no reboot)

+```
+
+- Symbol absence in `System.map` + archive pinning = the claim is **not actionable today**, regardless of merge status. Say that plainly.
+- Answer the container/device question from node mode + group membership; it never needs a reboot.
+
+## 2. Primary source beats press
+
+Read the **patch series itself** (cover letter + the implementation patch), not the news write-up. The press number is a symptom; the patch text carries the *preconditions* that decide applicability.
+
+Rules that only surface in the patch text (2026-10-18 AMD PerfOpt case):
+- enable path "rehomes devices **already on the identity domain**" → the feature is a companion to `iommu=pt`, never an alternative;
+- the enable path *disables* ATS/PRI/PASID/GCR3 (`skip_caps` in `attach_device`) → identity mode still pays a 1:1 page walk until this arms; a passthrough boot is therefore "most of the fix", not all of it;
+- a per-IOMMU bit is refcounted / re-armed on resume → matters for suspend users.
+
+Also check the driver-side consumer's gate condition (e.g. `amdgpu_device_use_perfopt()` requires `AMD_IS_APU` **and** the identity domain) — the feature and the endpoint you care about can live on independent paths (amdxdna binds its own SVA domain regardless of default domain type), which is what decouples "perf lever" from "device works again".
+
+Never inherit a vendor/press delta as a local cost: record it as *vendor-claimed, never measured here*, and make the procedure demand a local A/B in the maintenance window. Flag stale baselines by quoting the current measured figure.
+
+## 3. Correct every carrier, in one cutover
+
+Decision-record page (new dated section + front-matter `description` re-key), the retired-endpoint runbook that carries the now-dead law, `AGENTS.md` key-lesson bullet, worklog. Delete the dead law rather than annotating it.
+
+## 4. Publish to Gitea without leaking the token
+
+Token NEVER in argv (`curl -H "Authorization: …"` is world-readable in `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`). Reuse the git credential store, write a 0600 curl config, delete it after:
+
+```python
+line = next(l for l in (~/.config/secrets/gitea).read_text().splitlines() if HOST in line)
+user, tok = urllib.parse.unquote(...)      # store file is percent-encoded

+subprocess.run(["curl","-sS","-K",cfg,"-o",resp,"-w","%{http_code}", ...])
+os.unlink(cfg)
+```
+
+- New comment: `POST /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{n}/comments`, body `{"body": markdown}` → 201.
+- **Correction: `PATCH /api/v1/repos/{o}/{r}/issues/comments/{id}` — edit in place, do NOT post a follow-up.** A wrong claim published is fixed by editing it; leaving the wrong text up for future readers is the failure mode.
+- Verify: anonymous `GET .../issues/{n}/comments` then assert the corrected marker is present AND the retracted phrase is absent.
+
+## 5. Verification
+
+`./tests/run.sh` (docs completeness + vault link integrity cover the doc edits), commit, push. Secrets scratch files: unlink them; do not leave a token-bearing temp behind.
+
+## Gotchas

+- Markdown bullet lines inserted through the `edit` tool: an escape like `+- item` came out **verbatim** (file kept `+- `), twice. When a list block must be rewritten, `write` the whole file instead of guessing escape syntax.

+description: "Answer \"what does chord X do\" on Dank workstations: identify which layer (omp TUI, browser tool, niri, terminal) owns the chord before answering"
+---
+
+# Key-chord source audit
+
+Frank asks "what does mod+r / ctrl+X do?" — the chord lives in ONE layer of the stack; answering from the wrong layer is wrong. Check layers in order, in ONE pass.
+
+## Layers, in Frank's stack (most of his "mod" questions are niri)
+
+1. **niri compositor** (Mod = Super). Keybinds are NOT in `~/.config/niri/config.kdl` — it only `include`s `cfg/*.kdl`. Grep `~/.config/niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` directly. Notation: `Mod+R`, `Mod+CTRL+Alt+H`. Preset-width cycle (Mod+R) uses `preset-column-widths` from `cfg/rules.kdl`; no rule → built-in proportions 3/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 9/10, 1.
+2. **omp TUI**: defaults in `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js` — grep `defaultKeys:\["…"` (array form) and `defaultKeys:"…"` (string form; needs a second pattern). Recognized modifiers: ctrl/shift/alt/super only; no `meta`/`mod` alias. User remaps: `~/.omp/agent/keybindings.yml` (check existence first; absent = no remaps). Docs: `omp://keybindings.md`.
+3. **omp browser tool**: `Mod+Key` is Playwright notation (`Mod` → Ctrl on Linux, Cmd on macOS), used by `tab.press()`; e.g. `Mod+R` = page reload. Tern backend `ternKey()` throws on literal `Mod`; puppeteer path passes names through.
+4. **Terminals/tmux**: `~/.config/ghostty/config.ghostty` + `ghostty/auto/`, `foot.ini`, `kitty.conf`, `~/.tmux.conf` — keybind/bind/map lines.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Classify the notation the user used: `Mod+…` → niri/Playwright; `Ctrl+…` → TUI/terminal; tmux prefix → tmux.
+2. Grep that layer's config FIRST, expanding includes (config.kdl → cfg/*.kdl is the trap that caused a wrong answer).
+3. For omp bundle greps: two `defaultKeys` forms exist; `super+r` pattern also matches `super+right` — anchor with word boundary.
+4. Quote the exact config line as evidence; state the layer that owns the chord.
+
+## Verification
+
+- niri keybinds: `grep -n "Mod+R" ~/.config/niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` (not config.kdl).
+- omp: `grep -o '"app[^"]*":{defaultKeys:[^}]*' cli.js` for app actions; `grep -rn "defaultKeys" pi-tui/src/keybindings.ts` for editor actions.

+---
+
+Measure candidate shapes on a production llama.cpp endpoint without cutting anything over. One outage window, many arms, guaranteed restore.
+
+## 0. Pre-flight (no GPU needed — do all of it before stopping anything)
+
+- `ssh <host> <candidate-bin> --list-devices` — the candidate must see the card (backend `.so` releases resolve via `$ORIGIN`, so run from the extracted asset dir).
+- Flag-compat gate: loop the exact long options the serve script emits and grep the candidate's `--help`. A single unknown flag = a dead boot in the middle of the window. Remote shells may be **zsh**: `$flag[ ,<]` is parsed as an array subscript ("bad math expression") — pipe the check through `ssh <host> 'bash -s' <<'CHK' … CHK` and use `grep -qE "(^|[[:space:]])$f([[:space:],<]|$)"`.
+- Pause any concurrent compile (`pkill -f "[r]un-<build>"` — the bracket stops `pkill -f` matching your own command line; `pkill -x ninja`). Ninja is incremental: the build resumes where it stopped, and CPU contention otherwise skews every rate.
+
+## 1. Runner shape
+
+Write one script to `/tmp` on the target via `ssh <host> 'cat >/tmp/….sh' <<'EOF'`. Never edit the repo checkout on the target; drive the shipped serve script with a **per-arm env file** and `FRANK_<SVC>_ENV_FILE` (the serve scripts already honor it).
+
+```bash
+SRV=""
+used(){ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used --format=csv,noheader,nounits; }
+restore(){ [[ -n "$SRV" ]] && kill "$SRV" 2>/dev/null; pkill -x llama-server

+  echo "RESTORE health=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} …/health) used=$(used) state=$(systemctl is-active <svc>)"; }
+trap restore EXIT
+```
+
+- `trap restore EXIT` is mandatory, not polite: it also fires on the failure paths, so a script bug cannot leave the endpoint down.
+- Preserve the production log first (`cp -f /home/dank/logs/<svc>.log …prod-<ts>.log`) — the serve script truncates it.
+- Health-poll cap ~120×2 s. 300 polls turns an expected-allocation-failure arm (the "wall" arms) into 10 wasted minutes.
+- Arm = `sed` the base env (CTX_SIZE / PARALLEL / KV_CACHE_TYPE / LLAMA_BIN / LOG_FILE), boot with `setsid nohup env FRANK_<SVC>_ENV_FILE=… bash <serve-script>`, then capture: `nvidia-smi` used+free, ledger grep (`type |model size|n_ctx|flash|KV buffer|buffer size|slots|error|exceed`), `/slots` (per-slot `n_ctx` is the harness contract), `/v1/models`.
+- **Point LLAMA_BIN at a binary that exists.** Take 1 of this procedure died in 8 s because the trial env named a still-compiling source build; the trap saved the endpoint.
+
+## 2. Probes that actually discriminate
+
+- chat: `content` vs `reasoning_content` (channel differs per runtime) + `finish_reason`.
+- tools: real `tools` schema, assert `tool_calls[0].function.arguments` parses as JSON — empty/`null` arguments is a known fork bug.
+- vision: 512×512 **solid color** PNG built with `zlib`+`struct` (no PIL), sent as an OpenAI `image_url` content part; expect the exact color word. The legacy top-level `images` field hallucinates a plausible answer.
+- rate: `/completion` (not `/v1/chat/completions`) — it returns `timings` (prefill/decode). ≥128 tokens.
+- long-context fill: ~190k tokens through `/completion` proves the per-slot window AND tests the "quantized KV near 200K" stability reports.
+
+Skip `llama-bench` for shape work: it has no `-c`/`-np`, and its `-mmp` is `--mmap` (deprecated), not mmproj. Booting the server per arm measures the real shape and prints the ledger, which is the referee.
+
+## 3. Report

+Use when replacing the model/shape on a llama.cpp endpoint (frank-zealot on the RTX 3090). The engine's boot numbers are the verdict — do NOT commit to a feasibility verdict from head math; boot it and read `nvidia-smi`.

 ## Sequence

-1. **Geometry first, from the loaded model's own log** (`--log-verbosity 4`, or the HF `config.json` under `text_config` for multimodal): layers, `n_head_kv` (an ARRAY — per-layer, e.g. gemma4 has 8 on sliding layers, 2 on full-attention), head_dim, `sliding_window_pattern`, `n_swa`, `attention_k_eq_v`. KV scales only with full-attention layers; sliding layers cost a fixed window-size ring. Single-value HF fields lie about per-layer heterogeneity.
-2. **Fit the KV rate law to the engine, not to arithmetic.** Run once with `--log-verbosity 4` and read the `llama_kv_cache` / `sched_reserve` buffer MiB lines. Known law for master 5fc4f3c: bytes/elem = (K bytes + V bytes) **x2** when the file declares `attention_k_eq_v` (6.125 at f16 K + q8_0 V, 2.125 at q8_0/q8_0) — k_eq_v is a compute-graph mapping and does NOT shrink the cache. Full cache = n_full x n_head_kv x head_dim x rate x ctx; SWA cache = n_swa x window x n_head_kv_swa x head_dim x rate. Both reproduce the printed MiB exactly; if your formula does not, your law is wrong, not the engine.
-3. **Probe the binary's real capabilities** before promising flags: `--help | grep -A2 cache-type-k` (this fleet's build has NO fp8; q8_0 is the "FP8 class"), `--help | grep -A2 verbosity` (`-lv, --log-verbosity N`; ship `VERBOSITY` as an env tunable + `--log-verbosity "$VERBOSITY"` so VRAM forensics land in the journal), `--help | grep model-draft` for separate drafters. NEVER `grep -c <archname>` on the packed binary to check arch support — it returns 0 for every arch; check the source tree at the build's commit.
-4. **Fetch with `-f` + byte-count check** into `/home/dank/models/<name>/`.
-5. **Edit the repo trio** (`scripts/serve-<svc>.sh`, `scripts/<svc>.env`, `~/.omp/agent/models.yml`): spec flags move as a SET (`SPEC_TYPE=none` strips `--spec-type` AND `--spec-draft-model`/`--spec-draft-*`); a drafter with its own arch file (gemma4-assistant) needs `SPEC_DRAFT_FILE`, and its draft KV is built against the TARGET's full window — price it from a boot pair. `models.yml` `contextWindow` = per-slot window (`CTX_SIZE/PARALLEL`); recompute `maxTokens` for the compaction clamp `min(maxTokens, ctx - estimate - 4096)`.
-6. **Rewrite the bats seam in the same commit** (`tests/<svc>_unit.bats`): payload path, slot geometry, KV pair, spec state, batch pair, verbosity, mmproj opt-out, reasoning flags — all argv-asserted against the stub engine; where the contract is a repo value (batch pair, verbosity) assert argv == env value so a retune moves one file.
-7. **Deploy through git** (no direct remote edits). If the remote tree is dirty: `git stash push <files>` on the host, `git pull --ff-only`, land the change as a commit. A pull that aborts leaves the host at the OLD revision while the service runs the NEW edits — verify `git log -1` on the host.
-8. **Verify the engine, not your math**: `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` (argv is the contract), `/v1/models` (`n_ctx`, `ftype`, `n_ctx_train`), `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used,memory.free`, `/health` 200, a vision probe (solid color >=256 px via `image_url`, expect the exact word), and one generation probe reading `timings.predicted_per_second`. Record the numbers in the env comment + runbook, then push and ff-pull the host.
-9. **Cutover AGENTS.md in the same commit**: fleet-topology table row, the `### <svc>` section, the `Model Config` contextWindow/vision note, the runbook index ACTIVE row, a RETIRED row for the superseded era. The new docs page must be linked from the TOP-LEVEL `serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md`.
+1. **Runtime door BEFORE anything else.** Histogram the GGUF's tensor types and metadata (one python range-read of the KV section): a custom type (e.g. PQ2_0 = GGML type 142 + `prism.hadamard.*`) means the vendor/fork build is FORCED, not chosen — stock llama.cpp refuses it at load. Record the build identity (path, build number, commit, sha256) in the env comment; a `--help` census on that binary is what settles flag questions (this fleet's builds have NO fp8 KV; q8_0 is the "FP8 class"). NEVER `grep -c <archname>` on the packed binary to check arch support — it returns 0 for every arch.
+2. **Geometry first, from the loaded model's own log** (`--log-verbosity 4`, or the HF `config.json` under `text_config` for multimodal): layers, `n_head_kv` (an ARRAY — per-layer), head_dim, `sliding_window_pattern`, `n_swa`, `attention_k_eq_v`. KV scales only with full-attention layers; sliding layers cost a fixed ring; recurrent/linear layers (Gated DeltaNet) bill a fixed state per SLOT (~150 MiB measured), invisible to pool arithmetic. Single-value HF fields lie about per-layer heterogeneity.
+3. **Fit the KV rate law to the engine, not to arithmetic.** One boot at `-lv 4` prints `llama_kv_cache` / `sched_reserve` MiB lines. Master 5fc4f3c law: bytes/elem = (K + V) **x2** when the file declares `attention_k_eq_v`. Full cache = n_full x n_head_kv x head_dim x rate x ctx. If your formula disagrees with the printed MiB, your law is wrong.
+4. **Price the KV dtype by BOOTING the arms, at the target window.** f16 may simply OOM (`cudaMalloc failed` after the engine's own fit line names the MiB it wanted); q8_0 may be the only pair that funds 2 x 200,704; q4_0 is the fallback rung. Record every arm's used/free. **The mmproj lands AFTER the engine's fit projection** (projected fit < settled VRAM by ~1.5x the projector file size) — quote both numbers.
+5. **Fetch with `-f` + byte-count + sha256 check** into `/home/dank/models/<name>/`; `--verify-only` mode for re-census.
+6. **Edit the repo trio** (`scripts/serve-<svc>.sh`, `scripts/<svc>.env`, `~/.omp/agent/models.yml`). **Use the serve script's OWN variable names** (`CACHE_TYPE_K`/`CACHE_TYPE_V`, `BIND_ADDR`, `NGL`) — an invented name is silently swallowed by `: "${VAR:=default}"` and the arm boots the DEFAULT (cost a whole trial window: a `KV_CACHE_TYPE` scratch env booted f16 and OOMed while reading as a model fault). Sweep the script's DEFAULTS to the new payload too: a defaulted run must land on the shipped shape, never the retired one. Spec flags move as a SET (`SPEC_TYPE=none` strips `--spec-type` AND `--spec-draft-*`); MTP is a property of the FILE (no `nextn` tensors = no drafter, ever). `models.yml` `contextWindow` = per-slot window (`CTX_SIZE/PARALLEL`); recompute `maxTokens` for the compaction clamp `min(maxTokens, ctx - estimate - 4096)`. Check the payload's own template: if it reads `reasoning_effort`, the `reasoningEffortMap` fold becomes LOAD-BEARING (an unmapped level is a 500 naming Jinja, not the model) and quote the file's `general.sampling.*` trio in `extraBody`.
+7. **Rewrite the bats seam in the same commit** (`tests/<svc>_unit.bats`): payload trio paths, slot geometry, spec state, batch pair, verbosity, mmproj opt-out, reasoning flags — argv-asserted against the stub engine; where the contract is a repo value (batch pair, verbosity, **KV dtype**) assert argv == env value so a retune moves one file and a wrong-name env edit cannot pass silently.
+8. **Trial window protocol** (when the shape is unproven on the card): stop the unit (trap-guarded `systemctl start` restore in the scratch script), run the arm census + behavior probes as a DETACHED script writing to `/home/dank/logs/<name>.out`, then before touching production CENSUS the live state: `systemctl is-active`, `ss -ltnp | grep <port>`, `pgrep -x llama-server`, `nvidia-smi`. A scratch server orphaned by a client-side timeout holds the whole card and will OOM the real boot — kill by PID (never `pkill -f llama-server`). A trap restore can race your manual kill; read the script's own `RESTORE` log line before assuming who did what.
+9. **Deploy through git** (no direct remote edits): commit atomically on the worktree branch, `git fetch && git rebase origin/main` (log.md conflicts at EOF are two waves appending — keep both), push branch (`--force-with-lease` after a rebase), then in the MAIN checkout `git pull --ff-only` + `git merge --ff-only <branch>` + `git push origin main`, then `scripts/deploy.sh <host> --service <svc>` (`--service` is REPEATABLE — name the homepage too when cards changed, or the target ships the model without its docs). A `deploy.sh` with no `--service` is a fleet-wide drain: never.
+10. **Verify the engine, not your math**: `systemctl is-active/is-enabled` + the new `Description`, the journal fit/KV/buffer ledger (`projected to use N`, `KV buffer size`, `n_ctx_seq`, `n_slots`), `/v1/models` served alias (radiance-style echo does not apply to llama.cpp, but the alias is still the honest check), `nvidia-smi` settled, then live probes through the REAL request shape the harness sends (exact-instruction chat + `reasoning_content`, `tool_calls` JSON args, solid-color `image_url` >=256 px expecting the exact word, `timings.predicted_per_second`). Never report the FIRST request after a boot (warmup artifact). Push, and record numbers in the env comment + runbook.
+11. **Cutover every consumer, same branch**: AGENTS.md (topology row, `### <svc>` section, Model Config note, runbook index ACTIVE + RETIRED rows); the new docs page MUST be linked from the TOP-LEVEL `serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md` (the `docs_completeness` seam fails otherwise, not from `LLM/index.md`); `shared/homepage/services.json` + `docs.html` (model link, spec line, rate, and the WARNING — a censored base breaks the "common uncensored text" equality in `homepage_config.bats`, so re-key the test's premise too); `serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/OpenWebUI.md` + the live `model` row `meta.description` (live DB state: snapshot `webui.db.bak-<date><letter>`, UPDATE via host python3 over ssh; do NOT restart `open-webui` for a cosmetic string — it logs every family session out).

 ## Gotchas

+- A "we can rebuild the fork ourselves for provenance" claim needs the source tree AT the vendor build's commit — check `git -C <src> log --oneline -1` first. A fork checkout at branch HEAD (`prism` at `0082ac2`) is NOT the vendor build (`2459f68b5`), so the rebuild produces a different binary, not the verified one. Also: if the vendor binary already demonstrates the requirement (KV dtype buffer math in the ledger + live probes), a rebuild buys no behavior change — offer it explicitly as provenance hardening, never do it silently.
 - A systemd restart reporting `inactive` in the first seconds is usually model-load time; check `journalctl -u <svc>` for `model done`/`server is listening` before declaring failure.
- Rollback = the previous payload stays on disk; one `MODEL_FILE` + shape edit back.
- A thinking model can consume the whole token budget in `reasoning_content` (empty `content`, `finish_reason: length`) — probe with a budget that clears thinking.
- **Bats vacuity trap**: `serve_argv` REWRITES `$STAGE/test.env` from the shipped env, so a test that mutates the file (`sed -i`, append) then calls `serve_argv` asserts on regenerated content — a tautology. Tests that mutate must exec via a `run_stage` helper running the file as-is. Symptom: the assertion fails only after you fix the vacuity, and the env dump shows the mutation gone.
- `env NAME=value cmd` needs valid identifiers; a flag-like token (`nvidia-modprobe=true`) is only legal as an `env` ARGUMENT, not as a shell assignment prefix.
+- Rollback = the previous payload stays on disk; one `MODEL_FILE` + shape edit back. Record a refusal-freedom fallback the same way (an official censored base ↔ a CRACK re-export with byte-identical header geometry is a one-line swap; prove the identity with the tensor histogram, not the card).
+- A thinking model can consume the whole token budget in `reasoning_content` (empty `content`, `finish_reason: length`) — probe with a budget that clears thinking; a short-budget vision probe reads as "the model is blind".
+- `/completion` at `-lv 4` prints `failed to parse reasoning content ...` on raw prompts closing with an end-of-turn marker: cosmetic (chat path parses correctly). At ~26k+ a bare `/completion` can return 0 tokens with no error — raw context has no role frame; chat is unaffected.
+- **Bats vacuity trap**: `serve_argv` REWRITES `$STAGE/test.env` from the shipped env, so a test that mutates the file then calls `serve_argv` asserts on regenerated content — a tautology. Tests that mutate must exec via a `run_stage` helper running the file as-is.

+description: "Measure whether a candidate GGUF fits a live llama.cpp endpoint's card: verify serve-script env names first, run a dtype/slot arm matrix with trap-guarded production restore, read the engine fit ledger."
+---
+
+# llama.cpp trial-boot census (does candidate X fit this card?)
+
+Paper arithmetic on KV rates is a hypothesis. The engine's own fit ledger plus a
+real boot are the proof. This protocol ran on frank-zealot (RTX 3090,
+Qwen3.5-9B Q6_K → prism-ml Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B PQ2_0, 2026-10-17).
+
+## 0. Gate: env variable names, not invented ones
+
+A trial env written from memory silently falls back to the serve script's
+defaults. `KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0` when the script reads `CACHE_TYPE_K`/`CACHE_TYPE_V`
+boots **f16** and every later number is wrong (this wasted a whole outage; two
+arms printed identical allocations, which is the tell).
+
+```bash
+grep -nE ': "\$\{[A-Z_]+[:=-]' scripts/serve-<svc>.sh   # the real names + defaults
+grep -nE '\-\-[a-z-]+ "\$' scripts/serve-<svc>.sh       # what actually reaches argv
+```
+
+Never invent: KV dtype, bind addr, n-gpu-layers, log-file (units redirect it).
+
+## 1. Runner skeleton
+
+One script on the host, `set -u`, `trap restore EXIT`:
+
+```bash
+restore(){ pkill -x llama-server; for i in $(seq 1 90); do [[ "$(used)" -lt 1500 ]] && break; sleep 2; done
+  sudo systemctl start <svc>; for i in $(seq 1 150); do [[ "$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} $BASE/health)" == 200 ]] && break; sleep 2; done; }
+trap restore EXIT
+sudo systemctl stop <svc>            # benching law: stop first, mask fails on relinked units
+setsid nohup env FRANK_<SVC>_ENV_FILE=/tmp/armA.env bash scripts/serve-<svc>.sh >$LOG 2>&1 &
+```
+
+Launch with `setsid nohup … &`, wait with ONE async watcher (`grep -q DONE`),
+never poll. Per-arm drop-in envs via `sed` on a base env — one variable per arm.
+
+## 2. Arm matrix (cheap, each ≈ boot + probes)
+
+| Arm | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| target shape × target KV dtype | the verdict + behavior probes |
+| target shape × f16 KV | proves the wall (or funds the shape) |
+| 1 × native-window | answers "can we serve the full context" |
+| target shape × q4_0 | the roomy fallback rung |
+
+## 3. Read the ledger, not `nvidia-smi` alone
+
+```bash
+grep -a -A8 "memory breakdown" $LOG     # total = free + (model + context + compute)
+grep -aE "KV buffer size|model buffer size|compute buffer size|estimated worst-case memory usage of mmproj|projected to use|cannot meet free memory target|cudaMalloc failed" $LOG
+```
+
+Laws learned the hard way:
+- `projected to use N MiB vs M MiB of free` + `cannot meet free memory target of R` ⇒ requirement is `projected + R ≤ free`. With `--n-gpu-layers` pinned by the user the fitter **aborts** instead of shrinking — the boot then dies at the KV `cudaMalloc`.
+- `context` bills **more than the KV pool**: hybrid models add a fixed recurrent state per slot (~150 MiB/slot for qwen35's 48 DeltaNet layers). Pool math alone under-prices.
+- **The projector's `estimated worst-case memory usage of mmproj is X MiB` is NOT inside the fit projection.** It lands after the fit check, so real headroom = paper headroom − X. This is the "boots fine, then dies / dark" class.
+- q8_0 K+V bills exactly `2 × (layers_kv × heads × dim / 32 blocks × 34 B)`/token — check the reported KV MiB against that to prove the dtype actually took.
+
+## 4. Probe traps
+
+- **First request after boot is warm-up garbage**: it paid 2.6 t/s prefill / 37.7 t/s decode where the warm run gave 1,258 t/s. Never bench the first request; discard it or warm with a throwaway.
+- Reasoning-on chat probes need **≥512 `max_tokens`**: at 64 the answer was empty (`finish=length` mid-`reasoning_content`) while vision actually worked. Judge `content` only at a budget the thinking can fit.
+- Raw `/completion` (no chat template) returns `content` only — thinking is invisible; `timings.prompt_n` / `predicted_per_second` are the real keys, not `prompt_tokens`.
+- Vision probe: solid-color PNG ≥256 px, expect an exact color word.
+- Concurrency honesty: fire two identical requests in parallel; per-slot rates from each response's `timings`.
+
+## 5. Restore proof
+
+`health=200` **and** `systemctl is-active` — an `inactive` unit behind a 200 means
+a stray trial process holds the port. Kill by pid; never `pkill -f llama-server`.

+Use when benchmark scores look impossible (0% across the board, sudden cliffs) in frank-intelligence-bench.
+
+# Law
+Scores are untrusted until `bun run src/cli.ts analyze <run-id>` shows a failure-signature census with ZERO harness suspects. Model-side signatures (AssertionError on real values, AxisError, model's own NameErrors) are fine; harness signatures indict the engine.
+
+# Census
+- Reads `runs/<id>/ledger.jsonl` grade rows, extracts last `*Error: name 'X'` / `No module named 'X'` per failing row, aggregates per eval.
+- `harnessSuspects()` flags: `NameError: target(s)` (gold target binding missing), `ModuleNotFoundError: scicode` (pinned pkg absent from sandbox image), >50% shared signature ≥10 samples (systematic fault), >50% gen failures (endpoint fault).
+
+# Known harness faults (friction-earned, 2026-10-10)
+1. SciCode gold values live ONLY in `test_data.h5` (authors' Drive folder `1W5GZW6_bdiDAiipuFMqdUhvUaHIj6-pR`); tests reference bare `target`. Fix = `stageH5()` (sha256-gated upload to Dankclaw, mounted `/w-data/test_data.h5:ro`) + `process_hdf5_to_tuple(step, n_cases, h5py_file=...)` per official `eval/scripts/test_generated_code.py`.
+2. Sandbox image must contain `h5py` + `scicode @ git+https://github.com/scicode-bench/SciCode.git@<pin>` (+ `git` in python:3.12-slim for pip-git). Image tag carries the fix epoch: `frank-bench-py:3.12-scicode1`.
+3. Official extractor `get_function_from_code` `exec`s raw submission text → markdown fences are guaranteed SyntaxError. Official pipelines store CLEAN code: strip fences (`stripFences()`: join all ``` blocks) before extraction, for submissions AND prior-step context.
+4. Gold CODE ships only for the dev split (50 steps) on HF `AI-SCODE/SciCode`; `problems_test.jsonl` gold=None; GitHub pinned tree ships no gold jsonl; scicode pip package ships no data. Leaderboard (AA) SciCode uses reference-solution context — compare only against the gold-context slice, never the self-cumulative test split.
+5. Quarantine poisoned ledgers to `.AGENTTRASH/` (never blend void rows into reports), reset `runs/queue.json` to `{"active": null, "runs": []}` (active must be `null`, not `""`).
+
+# Verification gates
+- Real-infra proof: `FIB_INTEGRATION=1 bun test tests/integration.test.ts` (gold solution must PASS official protocol; `process_hdf5_to_tuple("77.1", 3)` → 3 targets). Integration files must `delete process.env.DRY_RUN` and point `FIB_DATA_CACHE` at the real cache (preload isolates it to TMP fixtures).

+---
+
+Run the SAME battery against both boots of an endpoint swap (candidate vs shipped payload). Never compare across different prompts, never benchmark beside the live service (stop + mask first), never measure the first request.
+
+## Harness
+`/tmp/halogen-eval/battery.py <tag> [all|tail]` (stdlib only, `urllib`): appends one JSON line per probe to `/tmp/halogen-eval/battery-<tag>.jsonl`, summary to stderr. `tail` = long-context + throughput only. Stage assets next to it: a corpus text file, a base64 512 px solid-color PNG.
+
+Probe order (each is a gate, all comparable across boots):
+1. **warmup** — discarded. First request after boot is a graph-capture artifact (measured 3x spread: 2.6 vs 1258 t/s prefill).
+2. **sanity** — exact-answer arithmetic, `temperature=0`.
+3. **refusals** — 5 hostile prompts, count refusal-marker regex hits. The abliteration/base-alignment census.
+4. **thinking census** — 6 fixed questions, `temperature=1.0`, `max_tokens=4096`; report mean `usage.completion_tokens` + per-item. A removed instruction fine-tune shows here first (measured: mean 784 vs the card's 3271 for the base model).
+5. **tools** — 1-turn (named-arg `tool_calls`) then 2-turn (tool result → answer).
+6. **vision** — OpenAI `image_url` content part only (legacy top-level `images` is silently ignored); solid color, expect the exact word; budget >=512 tokens or thinking eats it and empty `content` + `finish_reason=length` reads as blindness.
+7. **needle** at planted depth 0.85 and 0.10 of a token-budgeted haystack.
+8. **decode** — greedy, `max_tokens=512`, long-form prompt: `completion_tokens/secs`.
+9. **prefill** — one ~58k-token prompt twice: pass 1 cold, pass 2 cached; the ratio is the prompt-cache proof (measured 136x warm, 1.4x when already cached).
+
+## Laws that bite
+- **Token-budget every prompt by measurement, never chars/4.** Measure chars/token on the actual corpus (`prompt_tokens` of one probe ÷ its char count; wikitext-2 ≈ 4.33 for a HF-tokenizer Qwen-class model — chars/4 under-bills ~8 %). Over-window prompts come back HTTP 400 whose message names the exact token count and the ceiling — treat that as ground truth, it is the cheapest tokenizer oracle available.
+- **Corpus splitting:** check the separator before trusting a paragraph budget. Wikitext-2 raw blocks separate with `"\n \n"`, and a naive parquet→text dump joins rows with a SINGLE newline: a `"\n\n"`/blank-line split then returns ONE paragraph = the whole file, so every budget silently becomes "everything". Verify with `text.count("\n\n")` and the split's part count before running.
+- **Catch `HTTPError` in the POST helper and record the body.** A 400 is a probe result, not a crash — otherwise the battery dies mid-run and you re-run the whole thing against a live GPU.
+- **Report decode from a quiet host.** The same shape measured 25.6 / 37.9 / 46.8 t/s while a 62 GB download hammered page cache; only the idle-host number is real.
+- **Server-side samplers exist.** If the endpoint pins temperature/top_p/top_k, omit `temperature` for the thinking census (match production) and pin `temperature=0` only for exact-answer probes.
+
+## Verdict framing
+Behavior gates (sanity/refusals/tools/vision/needle) are the contract; PPL/KL from the engine's own checkpoint tools is advisory; throughput deltas under ~5 % are noise unless a mechanical control (a prompt shorter than the knob under test) proves the knob was the only variable.

+description: "Survey how every open-source runtime serves a given LLM (vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang, KTransformers, overlays, vendor GGUFs) before writing a serving/feasibility plan; harvest quant recipes, measured rates, and mapped landmines from PR comments and overlay repos."
+---
+
+# Model Runtime Support Survey
+
+Answer "how do other engines run model X, and what did they pay to learn it?" before committing a bring-up plan. Every kernel spec, quant recipe, and landmine found upstream is one you don't pay for twice. Proven on GLM-5.3-Flash (2026-10-14): surfaced a production 8xR9700 vLLM overlay, MTP 2.3x decode numbers, and 4 landmines (fp8-KV scale calibration, prefix-cache 0-hits, KDA autotune nondeterminism, chat-template notation).
+
+## Harvest order
+
+1. **Official model card** (`huggingface.co/<org>/<model>`) — the "Serve Locally" section lists officially supported runtimes; sampling/template contract lives here (e.g. `reasoning_effort` defaults, `clear_thinking`).
+2. **Per-runtime PRs** (vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang) — fetch via the GitHub-API-backed read; **the comments, not the body, are the payload**: field reports (prefix-cache hit censuses, ROCm/AMD enablement branches, extension rebuild recipes, crash repros, free tuning levers via `--override-kv`, nondeterminism root-causes). Get the PR status (merged/open/closed) — it sets what "master supports" means.
+3. **Overlay/serving repos on HF** (search model name + your GPU family, e.g. `rocm-r9700`): read the tree (`huggingface.co/api/models/<repo>/tree/main`), then `raw/main/README.md`, `raw/main/OVERLAY_NOTES.md`, `raw/main/run-*.sh`. Launch scripts carry the laws in comments (KV sizing justifications, env ladders, dead knobs).
+4. **Vendor GGUF guides** (Unsloth docs): append `.md` to the docs URL for clean markdown; gives quant KLD/top-1 tables, template fixes, hardware floors. Check whether their GGUF carries MTP/nextn tensors — that's often the only public source of draft-head weights.
+5. **KTransformers tutorials** (`raw.githubusercontent.com/kvcache-ai/ktransformers/main/doc/en/kt-kernel/<Model>-Tutorial.md`) + **SGLang cookbook** (`docs.sglang.io/.../<Model>.md`): CPU-offload expert shape validation, 1M-ctx recipes.
+
+## Harvest checklist (per runtime)
+
+- Measured decode/prefill + hardware shape (cards, TP) — anchor, not decoration; per-card effective GB/s is the cross-engine comparison unit.
+- Quant recipe: bits-per-weight split by module class (experts/trunk/embed) — convergent recipes cross-validate your planned conversion.
+- Spec-decode: acceptance length, per-position accept, when it pays (CPU-offload) vs loses (VRAM-resident).
+- Landmines: KV-scale calibration reading uninitialized linear-attn state; prefix-cache semantics on hybrid KDA/DSA models; kernel autotune nondeterminism (KLD across launches); fp8 flavour bugs (FNUZ vs e4m3fn scale); template notation engines can't parse; import gates per gfx/arch.
+- Harness contract: reasoning-effort defaults (16k+ hidden thinking tokens), sampling params, tool/reasoning parser names.
+
+## Output
+
+A runtime matrix table (engine | arch status | hardware | artifact | measured) + a numbered "laws we inherit" list; fold every law into the plan's phases and risks with § cross-refs.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- Read PR **comments** — the highest-value data (crash repros, censuses) is comment-only.
+- HF fetches: `api/models/<repo>/tree/main` for listing, `raw/main/<path>` for files; the HTML card view renders README inline too.

+- NOT just `full`: live-verified docked, `flameshot full` AND `flameshot screen` both hang ~15 s (exit 124 under timeout), write no file. Assume ALL flameshot capture modes dead with 2+ outputs.

+
+- Misc: `screenshot-path "~/Pictures/Screenshots/Screenshot from %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S.png"` at CONFIG ROOT (it is `config.screenshot_path`; a KDL `output { }` block REQUIRES a name arg — bare `output {}` is a parse error).
+- KDL comments are `//`, never `#` (parses as identifiers → cryptic "identifiers cannot be used as arguments").
+- niri 26.04 screenshot UI: "allows only single-output selections for now" (src/ui/screenshot_ui.rs) — no built-in all-monitor composite; script needed.
+
+## All-monitor script (scripts/screenshot-desk.sh)
+Per active output (`niri msg --json outputs | jq -r .[].name`): `niri msg action focus-monitor <m>` → sleep 0.15 → `niri msg action screenshot-screen --path "<abs>/… <connector>.png"` → restore prior focused monitor (`niri msg --json focused-output | jq -r .name`). No grim, no portal. `--path` must be absolute.
+
+## THE SPAWN-SH PATH TRAP
+niri's spawn-sh PATH = system dirs only; `~/.local/bin` ABSENT. Proof:
+`tr '\0' '\n' < /proc/$(pgrep -x niri | head -1)/environ | grep ^PATH`
+→ any bare user-script name in a keybind fails SILENTLY (no journal error, no file). Rule: keybinds use absolute script paths (`/home/blank/.omp/scripts/...`). Audit existing binds for bare names (desk.sh was dead too).
+
+## Verifying a keybind end-to-end without a keyboard
+Reproduce niri's child env exactly:
+`env -i PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl HOME=$HOME USER=$USER LOGNAME=$LOGNAME XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u) WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 NIRI_SOCKET=/run/user/$(id -u)/niri.$WAYLAND_DISPLAY.$(pgrep -x niri | head -1).sock sh -c "/abs/path/script"`

+# Editing niri config on Dank workstations
+
+## Layout of the config
+- Live config: `~/.config/niri/config.kdl` is a thin file of `include "./cfg/*.kdl"` lines. **Never conclude "not bound" from grepping only `config.kdl`** — keybinds live in `cfg/keybinds.kdl`, rules in `cfg/rules.kdl`, layout in `cfg/layout.kdl`, etc. Grep `~/.config/niri/cfg/` recursively.
+- **Include order wins:** `config.kdl` ends with `include "noctalia.kdl"` — a hand-written accent overlay at `~/.config/niri/noctalia.kdl` that re-declares `layout { focus-ring/border/tab-indicator/insert-hint }` + `recent-windows.highlight` colors and BEATS every `cfg/layout.kdl` color edit (observed 2026-10-18: focus-ring color edits to layout.kdl appeared to "not reload" while this file silently repainted them red). Before changing any accent/outline color, grep the WHOLE `~/.config/niri/` tree (not just `cfg/`) for the property and fix the LAST includer. Tracked in repo at `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/.config/niri/noctalia.kdl`; live file is NOT a symlink — sync by `cp` and `diff` like the rest.
+- niri notation: `Mod` = Super/Win key. Chords like `Mod+R { switch-preset-column-width; }`.
+- `~/.config/niri` is a REAL directory, not a symlink; the version-controlled copies are a partial mirror under `~/.omp/dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/.config/niri/`. Trees can drift: diff them before/after edits. (Hardlink wiring is FRAGILE — editor/agent atomic-rename writes silently break hardlinks; verify live↔mirror by CONTENT diff, never by link trust.) On blankpad the `cfg/*.kdl` entries are symlinks into the repo (`dotfiles/niri/...` base + `zz-blankpad` overrides) — edit through them freely; `noctalia.kdl` and `config.kdl` are the plain-file exceptions.
+
+## Desk/display profiles (monitor arrangement)
+- Profiles: `cfg/desk-<n>-<name>.kdl` (e.g. `desk-1-home.kdl`, `desk-2-portable.kdl`); ACTIVE profile is symlinked as `cfg/display.kdl` — `readlink` it to know which. `scripts/desk.sh` manages switching; `desk.sh capture` prints connected outputs' EDID long names.
+- Panels are keyed by **EDID long name** (`output "Lenovo Group Limited 0x40A9 Unknown"` = the laptop eDP-1 panel), not connector — connector names reshuffle between desks. Long-name blocks BEAT connector-keyed blocks when both match one output (legacy connector blocks like `output "eDP-1"` linger as duplicates; niri applies the EDID block's `position`).
+- Position math: x,y = top-left of each output in the logical layout; right edge = x + mode width. To place panel A left of panel B: `A.x = B.x - A.width`; bottom-align: `A.y = B.y + (B.height - A.height)`.
+- Verify: `niri validate` → hot-reload → `niri msg outputs | grep -iE 'Output |Position'` (prints `Logical position: x, y`).
+
+## Schema gotchas (niri 26.04)
+- `preset-column-widths` AND `preset-window-heights` are children of `layout { }` as SIBLING blocks — wiki wording misleads; nesting or `window-rule` placement fails `niri validate` with `expected one of proportion, fixed` / `unexpected node`.
+- Preset list order = cycle order for `Mod+R` (`switch-preset-column-width`); `Mod+Shift+R` cycles backwards. WITH custom preset lists the cycle contains ONLY the configured presets — no implicit full/maximize tail (verified: [0.25, 0.5] cycles period 2). Maximize = separate `Mod+F` `maximize-column`. Built-in defaults without the node: 1/3, 1/2, 2/3.
+- WITHOUT `preset-window-heights`, `switch-preset-window-height` FALLS BACK to the width presets — user sees width-fractions as heights; define the node explicitly to stop it.
+- Ground truth for node placement: the binary's embedded template — `grep -a -B4 -A8 "preset-column-widths {" $(which niri)`.
+- Window outlines: base geometry (`width`, `off`) lives in `cfg/layout.kdl` `focus-ring`/`border`; COLORS effectively live in `noctalia.kdl` (see include-order law). `border { off }` + focus-ring active = the visible outline. Frank's look since 2026-10-18: amber-orange `#ff8c00`, width 4 (`active`+`urgent` in noctalia.kdl; tab-indicator/insert-hint/recent-windows stay red `#f43841` by choice).
+
+## Workflow
+1. Edit the live file under `~/.config/niri/cfg/` (symlinked = repo file; except `noctalia.kdl`, edit live then `cp` to mirror).
+2. `niri validate` (exit 0 + "config is valid") — mandatory before done.
+3. **Hot-reload is NOT reliable after harness edits** (atomic-rename writes are missed by niri's watcher; user then tests against the OLD config and reports "no change"). ALWAYS follow with `niri msg action load-config-file` (NOT `reload-config`).
+4. Sync changed file into the mirror: `cp ~/.config/niri/cfg/<f>.kdl ~/.omp/dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/.config/niri/cfg/<f>.kdl` (repo root is `~/.omp`, branch `main`, remote = dankclaw Gitea `dank/command-center`; push there is pre-authorized). Verify by `diff`, not by cp success.
+5. Untracked mirror files: `config.kdl`, `noctalia.kdl`, `animation.kdl`, `input.kdl`, `display.kdl` (symlink target) — flag drift, don't silently add; when a live-only file turns out to be load-bearing (like `noctalia.kdl` was), commit the first durable copy into `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/.config/niri/`.
+6. Mirror files often carry pre-existing uncommitted drift (desk.sh captures); a commit of your edit folds it in — say so in the report/commit body.
+
+## Live-behavior verification without disturbing Frank's windows
+- `niri msg --json <subcmd>` — the `--json` flag goes BEFORE the subcmd.
+- Targeting differs per action: WINDOW-scoped actions take `--id <window-id>` (NOT `--window`) — e.g. `switch-preset-window-height --id N`. COLUMN-scoped actions (`switch-preset-column-width`, `set-column-width`, `maximize-column`) have NO id — they hit the FOCUSED column; only `set-column-width <px|±N%>` positional CHANGE, no flags.
+- Spawned test apps do NOT reliably take focus, so blind `spawn + action` cycles resize whatever Frank is looking at. For column actions you must `focus-window --id N` first — and that STEALS focus; if Frank is actively testing chords, your probes and his keystrokes interleave and corrupt both. STOP probing, deliver config + validate, and have him press the chord himself.
+- `niri msg --json focused-window` can report a different window than assumed (focus moves); for per-window measurement read `niri msg --json windows` and filter by `id`. Present height of proportion p with gaps g over work-area H renders ≈ p*(H+g) − g. NOTE (measured 2026-10-18): this build's `windows`/`focused-window` JSON returns `x/y/width/height = null` — pixel-sampling the outline color from screenshots is not viable; ask Frank to eyeball after `load-config-file` instead of burning turns on capture forensics.
+- If Frank reports "still seeing old values" after a config edit: run `load-config-file` first, then verify empirically before believing anything else — and check `noctalia.kdl` include-order override BEFORE suspecting the reload.
+
+## "What does chord X do?" triage
+For "mod+<key>" questions, check in order: `~/.config/niri/cfg/keybinds.kdl` (compositor wins first), terminal configs (`~/.config/ghostty`, `foot`, `kitty`), tmux, then omp TUI chords (`omp://keybindings.md`; modifiers are ctrl/shift/alt/super only, no `Mod`; `Ctrl+R`=history search, `Alt+R`=app.retry).

+---
+
+# Niri multi-monitor screenshot capture
+
+Flameshot works on a single niri output, dies the moment a second output connects. Diagnose via compositor journal, capture full desk with niri-native per-output actions — not grim, not portal.
+
+## Diagnose (one pass)
+
+1. `journalctl --user -u niri --since today | grep -i screenshot`
+   - `WARN niri::niri: error taking a screenshot: Condition failed: outputs.len() == 1 (2 vs 1)` → flameshot's portal path (xdg-desktop-portal-gnome → niri GNOME-Screenshot D-Bus → `screenshot_all_outputs` `ensure!(outputs.len()==1)`). Upstream niri#4313, unfixed in 26.04. Symptoms: error bubbles appearing **after a delay** (portal round-trip), count = number of hotkey presses.
+2. `niri msg outputs` — count active outputs. 1 output = flameshot fine; the bug is dock-state-dependent (portable works, docked breaks).
+3. Per-mode status: `flameshot screen` (focused output) works docked; `flameshot gui` region works (mixed-res scaling bug = flameshot#4449); `flameshot full` dead on 2+.
+
+## Capture all monitors (niri-native)
+
+niri 26.04 has NO all-output capture: screenshot UI is single-output by design (`screenshot_ui.rs`: "allows only single-output selections for now"); D-Bus path hard-limited. Script pattern:
+
+```bash
+prev=$(niri msg --json focused-output | jq -r .name)
+while IFS= read -r mon; do
+  [ "$mon" != "$prev" ] && niri msg action focus-monitor "$mon"
+  sleep 0.15                       # let compositor render a frame after focus move
+  niri msg action screenshot-screen --path "$out/Screenshot from $ts $mon.png"
+done < <(niri msg --json outputs | jq -r '.[].name')
+# restore focus: niri msg action focus-monitor "$prev"
+```
+
+CLI facts (`niri msg action screenshot-screen --help`): `--path` must be ABSOLUTE; `-d/--write-to-disk` default true (also saves per `screenshot-path`); `-p/--show-pointer` default true.
+
+## KDL gotchas (bit me twice; bats `niri validate` catches them)
+
+- KDL line comments are `//`, NEVER `#` — `#` = parse storm "identifiers cannot be used as arguments".
+- `screenshot-path` is a ROOT-level config node (`config.screenshot_path` in config.rs); do NOT nest it in `output {}` — root-level bare node validates and works; `output { ... }` without a name/match arg fails: "additional argument `name` is required".
+- Root-level `prefer-no-csd` is a silent no-op (output-section property) — root unknown nodes only warn.
+
+## Verify
+
+- Run the script live; `file` each PNG (valid dimensions per monitor); `niri msg --json focused-output` equals pre-run monitor.
+- `bats tests/` incl. niri-config assembly validate on every desk profile before commit.
+- Deploy: symlink script into `~/.local/bin` (repo `scripts/` convention, like `desk.sh`); bind `spawn-sh "name"` in keybinds.kdl; niri hot-reloads config on file change.

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

 ## Where
- Layout file: `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` → `[bar.<name>]` keys `start` / `center` / `end` (arrays of widget ids; `[widget.<id>]` subtables hold per-widget settings).
- On Frank's boxes this file is a **symlink into the command-center repo** (e.g. `~/.omp/dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`) — edit the repo file, not the link path (atomic-rename writes through the link path would replace the symlink).
+- Layout file: `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` -> `[bar.<name>]` keys `start` / `center` / `end` (arrays of widget ids; `[widget.<id>]` subtables hold per-widget settings).

 - Layer order: built-in defaults < `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml` (+`[include]`) < `settings.toml` (wins). Noctalia writes through symlinks and keeps them.
- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`.
+- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`, `end = ["notifications","clipboard","network","bluetooth","tray","battery","session","control-center","clock"]`.

-## Apply/verify loop (no restart, no reload IPC)
-1. Edit the repo `settings.toml`.
-2. `noctalia config validate` (checks merged layers; also `noctalia config export [full] | yq -p toml` to inspect effective values).
-3. Both layers are file-watched → hot-reload. Prove visually: `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen` saves a PNG to `~/Pictures`; read the image and inspect the bar.
+## Clobber window and recovery (2026-10-18 incident law)
+- GUI-built layout is **working-tree-only until the hourly live-sync heartbeat commits it**. A merge/sync session that "clears the dirty tree" can `git stash` those edits, and later stash operations can destroy the entries - customizations then vanish from the live bar with the repo copy stale.
+- Never blame the GUI or noctalia first: diff live file vs `HEAD`, check heartbeat commits (`git log -- dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`), then the stash chain.
+- Destroyed stashes are recoverable: `git fsck --lost-found` lists dangling commits; `git show <dangling>:dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` dumps each candidate; pick by `[bar.default]` richness (capsule groups, extra clock instances). Validate a candidate in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before touching the live file.
+- After recovery, commit the file immediately so the window closes.

-## Taskbar recipes
- Move window indicator beside workspaces: put `"taskbar"` in `start` after `"workspaces"`.
- Combine workspaces+windows into ONE widget: `[widget.taskbar] group_by_workspace = true` — per-workspace capsules with disc labels (focused/occupied/empty/urgent colors); `workspace_group_content = "icons"|"count"|"dots"` (count/dots: left-click activates the workspace); `hide_empty_workspaces`, `show_workspace_label`, `minimal`, `workspace_label_placement = corner|centered|inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no → stays flat).
+## Widgets (v5 census, verified 2026-10-17)
+- Full roster in `settings.toml` widget_order plus docs: activity, backlinks, battery, bluetooth, brief, bright, cat, cheatsheet, chart, clipby, clipboard, control-center, cpu, controls, cava (now playing), disk, gpu, help, keyboard, language, launcher, mediaplayer, memory, mic, network, night-light, noctalia-palette, notification-history, notifications, niri-colors, power-section, power-profile, screenrecord, scratchpad, screenshot, session, shell (custom shell command), slowouts, slowouts-visible (per-output bar assignment), speedtest, swayosd-*, taskbar, tray, voiceline, volume, wallpaper, weather, workspaces.
+- `clock` widget: `format` (chrono strftime), `schema` (12/24), `multi_line`, `show_seconds`, `popup`, and **timezone** = IANA name. Multiple clock widget instances are supported: ids like `clock`, `clock-utc`, `clock-sea` each get a `[widget.<id>]` subtable -> one capsule per instance. This is how multi-timezone (Seattle work + UTC dev) lands: add `clock` + `clock-utc` to `end` (or `center`), set `timezone = "Etc/UTC"` on the utc one.
+- `cat` widget: shows random ASCII art, `rows` setting (4-10).
+- `shell` widget: `command`, `run interval` (seconds), `icon`, `terminal`; output lands in its capsule popup - can wrap any CLI (hyprstatus-style).
+- `taskbar` widget: shows window buttons **only on outputs where `niri-bridged` is enabled** (noctalia-launcher enables it). Buttons render **icon-only** (app icon from icon theme; fallback = first letter of title); the window title string is NOT shown in the bar. Hover tooltip carries title + app_name. Per-widget settings: `show_icons`, `show_actions`, `disable_middle_click`, `preferred_app_names` (map app_name -> icon for missing icons).
+- Widget ids usable in `[bar.*].start|center|end` are restricted to "bar widgets" (`is_bar_widget` allowlist in `bar.rs`); non-bar widget ids are silently dropped at load. `group:<id>` entries render capsule groups.
+- Capsule groups: `[bar.<name>.capsule_groups]` id = `["widget",...]`.
+- Niri layout law for bars: window width must stay **odd** (strut = (W-1)/2); bars reserve via layer-shell, niri's reserved area = layer surface size, so bar height changes need no niri edit.
+
+## Bar styles (GUI-visible, settings.toml keys)
+- `[bar.*]`: `thickness`, `font_family`, `font_weight`, `font_size`, `opacity`, `border_width`, `border_offset`, `rounded`, `paddings`, `icon_ratio`, `follow_layout`, `output`, `exclusive`, `layer` (`bottom` = below window layer; `overlay` = above windows), `position` (`top`/`bottom`).
+- Per-monitor bars: add a `[bar.<name>]` with `output = "<monitor>"` and `follow_layout = true` (niri) -> per-workspace strut follows tall windows on that monitor. This is the mechanism for "bar shrinks when a window is tall" (the bar is a layer-shell strut, NOT a niri layer rule).
+- The GUI "Bar" page is the reference list; anything absent from settings.toml is a built-in default.
+
+## Slowouts (window-height-aware bars/panels)
+- `slowouts` = hidden engine (not a bar capsule): `[slowouts]` keys `enabled`, `duration`, `easing`, `trigger_offset`; per-monitor `[slowouts.<monitor-name>]` overrides (e.g. `DP-1`) with the same keys plus `edge`.
+- `position = "top"` + `exclusive = false` + slowouts on the monitor -> panel hides when a window touches its edge, re-reveals otherwise. `slowouts-visible` = toggle capsule.
+- **Slowouts needs niri workspace-autoresize ON** (niri `workspace-autoresize` = "per-workspace" in cfg/layout.kdl `output ... { workspace-autoresize per-workspace }`): noctalia computes hide from workspace height < panel bottom edge; uniform-strut layouts never trigger it.
+- Per-output bars: slowouts config keys are monitor names, so one `[bar.<x>]` with `output` + `exclusive=false` + `layer=overlay` per slowout monitor is the supported shape.
+
+## Layout modes and window title decorations
+- `[layout]`: `mode` (`tiling`|`floating`|`monocle`), `pseudotiled`, `focus_bar` (window-title bar at top, center, layer-shell; style via `[ui.controls...]`/bar-ish settings), `window_follows_cursor`, `gaps`, `border_width`, `rounded`, `blur`, `opacity`, `borderless_csd`, `show_native_decoration`.
+- `focus_bar` is the noctalia analog of niri's drawn window title, but ONE global bar (no per-window arrows). True per-window title tags = niri `draw-with-border` on window rules; noctalia adds no per-window decoration (it's a bar app + portal, composites nothing).
+- Floating mode: right-click desktop / `SUPER+Shift+F` / toggle widget; widgets `floating-directories`, `floating-files`, `pins` (sticky notes), `canvas`, `sketchpad`, `post-its`. Float windows snap to screen quarters (`SUPER+Ctrl+Alt+Arrows`) and tile into current layout (`SUPER+Shift+T`). `[layout.floating.files]` = icon/view/sort/preview size.
+- `[bar.*].window_display` = `disabled`|`icons`|`text`|`combined` - per-window chips in the bar strip (niri only; this is what niri-taskbar could not do). Values: `disabled`|`icons`|`centered`|`inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no -> stays flat).
 - The `workspaces` widget itself has no window display; styles are regular/minimal/focus_hint only.

+# Scoping omp rules: context-file discovery map
+
+## When
+Asked to make a rule apply "everywhere", "all repos", or "only projects under <dir>" in the omp harness.
+
+## Discovery facts (bundle-verified 2026-10-18, omp v18.8.7, dist/cli.js)
+- Project context loaders are **first-hit at-or-below repo-root**: AGENTS.md walk-up stops with `if(dir===repoRoot)break`; the `.omp/`-dir provider (`EGs`) returns the single nearest dir containing `.omp` (skips home); CLAUDE.md provider loads one user file + one project file. **Consequence: an AGENTS.md placed in an ancestor directory like `~/Projects/` is never loaded by descendant repo sessions.** No ancestor-scope mechanism exists.
+- User/global slots: `~/.omp/agent/AGENTS.md` (user-level context, if present), `~/.omp/agent/APPEND_SYSTEM.md` (system-prompt append, project variant checked first, then user; broadcasts to ALL sessions — no path scoping), rules dirs `~/.agents|~/.agent` + `<ancestor>/.agents|/.agent` rules via walk-up (again repo-root bounded). Extensions load from `<settings-dir>/extensions/` — user-level = `~/.omp/agent/extensions/`.
+- Settings ids to grep for: `statusLine.*`, `composer.*`, `instructions` (= Copilot-style file-glob instructions package, not a path list).
+
+## The only cwd-scoped mechanism
+`before_agent_start` extension handler: event carries `{prompt, images, systemPrompt}` (string | string[]); return `{systemPrompt}` to replace (handlers chain; undefined = untouched). Gate on `ctx.cwd.startsWith(target + "/")`. Constant appended text keeps prompt caching intact; subagents inherit the session cwd, so they get the rule too. Registering extensions under a git-tracked dir that omp also reads (e.g. command-center `agent/extensions/`) propagates them fleet-wide via git pull.
+
+## Verification recipe (quote probe)
+Non-interactive one-shot from each side of the boundary, cheap model:
+`cd <in-scope-dir> && omp --model <alias> "Look at your system prompt. If it contains a heading starting with '<marker>', reply with exactly the text of its bullet about <x>. Otherwise reply exactly MISSING."`
+`--model @role` aliases do NOT resolve in one-shot; use a model alias like `frank-zealot`. Expect the verbatim bullet in scope, `MISSING` out of scope.
+
+## Traps
+- A rejected implementation still needs its live copy unshipped (move to `.AGENTTRASH/`) — extension files in `agent/extensions/` take effect for new sessions immediately, merged or not.
+- Amend the changelog entry of the abandoned route to state closed-unmerged + the durable findings, so future agents don't resurrect it.
+- Prefer direct per-repo AGENTS.md edits when the operator wants auditability over mechanism (command-center 2026-10-18: extension route closed unmerged in favor of a PR in each target repo).

+---
+
+# Cwd-scoped rules for omp sessions
+
+## Why context files fail for subtree scoping
+Verified against `@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`: every context provider resolves **at or below the repo root** — the project walker breaks at `repoRoot`, `.omp/`-dir and CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md providers load exactly one project file (first hit). A file in an ancestor dir like `~/Projects/AGENTS.md` is NEVER loaded by descendant repos. `agent/APPEND_SYSTEM.md` (user level, `gs()`=`Nn.agentDir`) loads for ALL sessions everywhere — broadcast, not scoped.
+
+## Mechanism: before_agent_start extension
+File: `~/.omp/agent/extensions/<name>.js` (user-level load path is `<settings-dir>/extensions/`; in the command-center repo `agent/extensions/` is tracked and rides git pull to the fleet).
+
+```js
+export default function (pi) {
+  const ROOT = "/home/blank/Projects/";
+  const RULES = "\n\n# <heading> ...";  // constant text -> prompt cache unaffected
+  pi.on("before_agent_start", async (event, ctx) => {

+    return { systemPrompt: Array.isArray(base) ? [...base, RULES] : (base || "") + RULES };
+  });
+}
+```
+Contract (bundle-verified): handler payload `{prompt, images, systemPrompt}`; returning `{systemPrompt}` replaces the base; handlers chain; fires for subagent sessions too (shared cwd) — usually desired.
+
+## Verification recipe (quote-the-prompt probe)
+No print flag; positional arg = one-shot. Role aliases (`--model @sonic`) do NOT resolve in one-shot — use a model id.
+```bash
+P="If your system prompt contains a heading starting with '# <heading>', quote its <X> bullet; else reply exactly MISSING."
+cd /home/blank/Projects/<repo> && omp --model <id> "$P"   # expect verbatim bullet
+cd /tmp && omp --model <id> "$P"                          # expect MISSING
+```
+Run both positive and negative probes; stderr swallows fast failures — keep 2>/dev/null off the first try.

+---
+
+Verify that a `.ts` file in `agent/extensions/` actually works inside the interactive TUI — the black-box bats seam cannot see harness-side wiring (event names, arg passing, mode gating), and it will pass beside a dead hook.
+
+Distinct from `omp-tui-live-visual-verify` (config/theme rendering proven by screenshot): here the instrument is **observable side effects**, not pixels, because extension notifications are transient toasts that vanish before the pty buffer is read.
+
+## 1. Launch the exact build under test
+
+```bash
+omp --no-extensions --no-session -e /abs/path/agent/extensions/<name>.ts
+```
+as a **pty service** (`pty: true`, `ready: {"log": "╭|❯|Tip:|─", "timeout": 60}`).
+`--no-extensions` + explicit `-e` proves the file loads by path and nothing else interferes. Neutral cwd (`/tmp`) so repo state cannot color the run.
+
+## 2. Submit input correctly (the costly gotcha)
+
+`write proc://<id>` with a trailing `\n` does **not** submit — the text just sits in the composer.
+
+- **Works:** two writes — first `"/cmd args"` (no terminator), then a **separate** write whose whole content is `\r`.
+- **Broken:** `"/cmd args\r"` in one write. It still submits, but the trailing `\r` arrives inside the command args. Symptom: `unknown voice 'narrator1\r'`, an unexpected extra utterance, or a chat message whose transcript line ends in a literal `\r`. That is a harness artifact — never "fix" it by stripping control characters in the extension (`.trim()` already covers what a keyboard can produce).

+echo "$1" >> /tmp/stub.log; cp "$1" "/tmp/out-$$.wav"; exit 0
+```
+Run the TUI with that stub in the env the extension reads (`DANKVOICE_PLAYER=…` style). Then every assertion is a file: `wc -l` of the log (how many times it fired), `ffprobe -show_entries format=duration` (what it produced), `ls -d <tmp-glob>` (that cleanup ran).
+
+Sequence per behavior: command → CR → short `sleep` → count. **Count before and after** each command; the delta is the only honest proof a subcommand stayed silent.
+
+## 4. Discriminate "fired twice" from "fired once per turn"
+
+Stray CR writes can create extra empty turns, each with its own `agent_end` — two utterances for one intended prompt is usually **two turns**, not a duplicate speak. Confirm by counting assistant turns in the transcript (`read proc://<id>`), and by matching each clip's duration to its own answer's length.
+
+## 5. Event-hook contract traps
+
+- `agent_end` payload (`dist/types/extensibility/shared-events.d.ts`): `{ type, messages: AgentMessage[], willContinue? }`. **`willContinue: true` means the harness already scheduled a continuation** (auto-retry / empty-stop retry) — a subscriber that narrates or notifies there speaks an answer the model is about to redo. Gate on it.
+- Read the real event/payload shape from `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/types/…`; grep `dist/cli.js` for the literal event names to confirm they exist.
+- A driver test that *calls* the handler by hand proves nothing about emission — that is exactly the gap this live check closes.
+
+## 6. Audio output goes silent while every command reports success
+
+`pw-play` exits 0 and prints `stream drained` even when nobody hears anything. Triage order:
+
+```bash
+wpctl status                       # Sinks, the `*` default, and live Streams
+wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@
+```
+- A **`Default Configured Devices` entry naming a `bluez_output.*` node that is not in the Sinks list** = remembered-but-offline Bluetooth: the classic silent-route cause.
+- Confirm the stream really links: a short clip can vanish before inspection, so use a multi-second clip and read `wpctl status` mid-play, or target explicitly: `pw-play --target <node-id> <file>` (node ids from `wpctl status`; `wpctl inspect <id>` gives `node.name`).
+- Prove the synth path independently of the player: `curl -o x.wav …` then `file x.wav` (expect `RIFF … WAVE … PCM`).
+
+## 7. Land it
+
+Live result belongs in the commit message, the reference page, and the work log — and the guard the live check uncovered gets its own behavior test (assert observable output only: fired count, payload content, silence).
+
+## Cleanup
+
+`/exit` or `proc://<id>/kill` the service; move stub scripts, logs, and clips to `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` — never `rm`. Kill background jobs that keep playing to the operator's speakers.

+Answer "what does chord X do in omp" with evidence from docs + installed bundle, not memory.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Read `omp://keybindings.md` — common action IDs and defaults (`Ctrl+R` history search, `Alt+R`/`F5` retry, `Alt+A` agent hub, ...). Docs are not a complete inventory.
+2. Locate the install: `readlink -f $(which omp)` → usually `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js` (bundled).
+3. Extract live default chords from the bundle (authoritative for installed version):
+   ```bash
+   cd <dist dir> && grep -o '"app[^"]*":{defaultKeys:[^}]*' cli.js
+   ```
+   Contextual duplicates exist: same chord can map to different actions in different views (e.g. `ctrl+r` = `app.history.search` in composer, `app.session.rename` in resume picker).
+4. Modifier names: `pi-tui/dist/types/keys.d.ts` → `ModifierName = "ctrl" | "shift" | "alt" | "super"`. "mod"/Super binds as `super+`; only shipped super chords are `super+alt+backspace|delete|d`. Most Linux terminals swallow plain Super chords (needs kitty keyboard protocol / CSI u: kitty, foot forward them).
+5. Remaps live in `~/.omp/agent/keybindings.yml` (NOT config.yml): `action.id: chord` or array; `[]` disables. Profile-aware: default-profile file loads first, active profile overrides per action.
+6. In-session live reference: `/hotkeys`.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- `grep pi-tui/dist/*.js` fails (no top-level js; types only under `dist/types/`).
+- Chord notation is case-insensitive, UI-style (`Ctrl+P`, `Alt+Shift+P`).
+- Old unqualified action names auto-migrate; new configs use namespaced ids (`app.*`, `tui.editor.*`).

+description: "Add or edit a non-chat (tts/image/embedding) model row in ~/.omp/agent/models.yml, wire the speech role, and diagnose a failing speech device without blaming a healthy endpoint"
+---
+
+# Scope
+
+`~/.omp/agent/models.yml` (or `models.yaml`) on a workstation: adding a **runner**
+model row (TTS / image / embedding / rerank / video) alongside chat providers,
+flipping `config.yml` `modelRoles` at it, and diagnosing a speech device that
+refuses to speak.
+
+# The landmine
+
+Provider-level `api` accepts **only chat/judge transports**:
+`openai-completions`, `openai-responses`, `openai-codex-responses`,
+`azure-openai-responses`, `anthropic-messages`, `bedrock-converse-stream`,
+`google-generative-ai`, `google-gemini-cli`, `google-vertex`,
+`openrouter-decisions`, `typesafe`.
+
+Naming a runner API (`openai-speech`, `openai-images`, `openai-embeddings`, …)
+at **provider** level fails whole-file validation, and the failure mode is not
+scoped to your provider:
+
+```
+Warning: models.yml validation failed — custom providers disabled
+  Failed to load config file models, Schema error: providers.<id>.api: must be "openai-completions", …
+```
+
+Every custom provider disappears from the registry (fleet chat endpoints stop
+resolving) and `omp models` lists only built-in locals. Measured 2026-10-18.
+
+# Correct shape
+
+Runner api goes on the **model entry only**; `auth: none` satisfies the
+credential requirement; omit `contextWindow`/`maxTokens` (the positivity check
+fires only when they are provided — `omp models` still prints filled defaults,
+which the runner transport never reads).
+
+```yaml
+  "frank-tts (dankclaw)":
+    baseUrl: http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1   # no `api:` here
+    auth: none
+    models:
+      - id: frank-tts
+        name: "frank-tts (dankclaw) — cloned voices"
+        api: openai-speech                   # runner api on the model
+        input: [text]
+```
+
+Roles live in `config.yml` (`modelRoles`), not in `models.yml`. Kind roles
+(`image`, `web`, `speech`, `dictation`, `judge`) take no `:thinking` suffix.
+
+# Verify after every edit (never assume the file loaded)
+
+```bash
+omp models --kind tts --no-extensions      # the new row must appear
+omp models --no-extensions | grep -E '<each fleet chat model>'   # and still be listed
+omp models | grep -c 'validation failed'   # must be 0
+```
+
+A run that lists only built-ins means your row broke the file — revert before
+yielding.
+
+# Speech transport contract (`openai-speech`)
+
+Body is `{model, input, response_format, voice?, speed?}`; `voice` is forwarded
+**only** when the caller passed `voice_id`; `sample_rate`/`bit_rate` **throw**
+(`openai-speech does not support sampleRate`). Codec comes from the
+`output_path` suffix; 15 000-character cap. An unknown `voice` name is a server
+error, not a fallback — and `auth: none` makes a dead endpoint read as
+*available*, so point `modelRoles.speech` at such a provider only after it has
+answered a real synthesis.
+
+# Three speech-role laws (bundle-read + measured 2026-10-18)
+
+1. **No setting carries a voice for `openai-speech`.** The transport builds the
+   body with `voice` from the call's `voice_id` and nothing else.
+   `tts.localVoice` is the *local Kokoro backend's* key; `speech.voice` is the
+   TUI's **speak-aloud** voice, an enum of Kokoro names that never reaches an
+   HTTP request (setting it to a pack name breaks the vocalizer and does nothing
+   for synthesis — read `cfgSpeechVoice` in `dist/cli.js` before believing
+   otherwise). So a voice-less call is the harness's **normal** shape: a
+   voice-required endpoint needs a server-side default (fleet answer:
+   `DEFAULT_VOICE` in `scripts/frank-tts.env`, journal marks the line
+   `(default)`, unknown names still 400 with the list).
+2. **An explicit role has no fallback candidate.** `modelRoles.speech` set to one
+   model yields exactly one candidate, so a dead endpoint or an unresolvable
+   selector fails with *"No available speech model matches the speech role"*
+   instead of degrading to Kokoro. Loud-by-design; do not "fix" it by adding a
+   fallback in the client.
+3. **`models.yml` loads at process start; `config.yml` is read live.** A session
+   older than the new row fails exactly like a dead endpoint while a fresh
+   process succeeds in the same minute.
+
+# Diagnosing "speech device won't speak" — in this order
+
+1. `curl` the endpoint directly with a real voice name. 200 + audio ⇒ the service
+   is fine and the fault is harness-side; stop touching the server.
+2. Control test in the *same* session: point `modelRoles.speech` at
+   `local/kokoro` and call the device. It works ⇒ `config.yml` is live-read and
+   the runner selector or its voice argument is the problem, not the endpoint.
+   Revert the role immediately after.
+3. Distinguish stale registry from dead endpoint with a fresh process:
+   `omp -p --no-session --no-extensions --no-skills --no-rules --tools tts --cwd /tmp
+   'Call the tts tool exactly once with text="…" output_path=/tmp/x.wav
+   voice_id=<name> — then reply with the tool result line.'`
+   Succeeds ⇒ the long-lived session predates the `models.yml` row; restart it.
+4. Cross-check server-side, never trust the client's echo: the façade/access log
+   line and the engine's own ledger must carry the same byte count the tool
+   printed. (`model=…` in a tool result is what the client *requested*; a server
+   line is the fact.)
+5. For harness-behaviour claims, read the bundle rather than reasoning from the
+   tool description: `/home/blank/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`,
+   e.g. `grep -o -E '.{300}response_format:[a-zA-Z$]+.{250}'` for the speech body
+   builder, `grep -o -E 'cfgSpeechVoice:.{0,400}'` for what a settings key feeds.

+1. Read the live config line(s) first; edit with `edit` (never batch trials — one state per screenshot).
+2. Capture: `sleep 2 && niri msg action screenshot-screen --path /tmp/x.png --show-pointer false` — flag is `--path` (`-o` is invalid); the write lands asynchronously, so `sleep 1.5` before touching the file.
+3. Crop+scale with PIL to the bar/composer region (known good crop for blankpad right monitor: `(2267,1240,3440,1440)`, 1.3x LANCZOS), then `read` the PNG absolute path.

+- Read a downscaled FULL-screen shot first: Frank's screens carry multiple terminals + a browser; a fixed crop can silently capture a different window's bars (happened during the contextLine audit — two omp windows on one screen).
+- Session-accent rules/borders share colors with meters; color presence alone proves nothing. Compare states against each other, and settle ambiguous pixels from the bundle code path (grep `dist/cli.js` for the render function).
+- Live config drifts (other sessions own files there): never `git add -A` the main checkout to promote a trial; commit from a separate `git worktree add` off the target ref.
+- `read` the absolute `/tmp/...` path for screenshots.
+- Multi-value enums: one screenshot per value; identical renders (e.g. claude shape `contextLine: off` vs `embedded`) are themselves a finding — record them as such.

+## 1. Relative paths resolve to the SESSION worktree — always edit by absolute path
+`edit`/`read`/`write` with a relative `path` resolve against the session CWD
+(the harness worktree you were spawned in), NEVER the worktree you `cd`'d into
+via bash. Identical file content in sibling worktrees yields identical
+`[path#tag]` hashes, so an edit can "succeed" against the WRONG checkout with
+no warning; only a rejected stale-hash edit reveals it.
+
+- When working in a second worktree, ALL file-tool paths: absolute.
+- Symptom seen: edit rejected "hash #X is not from this session" while the
+  bash-side `git status` showed the file clean — two different files, two
+  worktrees. Recovery: revert the stray edit (CUT the inserted lines) in the
+  wrong tree, re-read the right tree, redo with absolute header.
+
+## 2. Branching: shared worktrees refuse git checkout
+Workspace policy blocks `git checkout` (branch switches AND `--` discards) in
+harness-managed worktrees — concurrent agents depend on them. To start a
+branch off fresh trunk:
+
+```bash
+git -C ~/.omp worktree add -q -b <type>/<issue#>-<slug> ~/.omp/wt/<name> origin/main
+```
+
+Never force past the refusal; the new-worktree route is strictly safer.
+Custom worktrees not matching `wt/wt-*` are invisible to the live-sync reaper —
+prune them by hand after merge (`git worktree remove`, `git branch -d`).
+
+## 3. omp session id for attribution footers
+Fleet law requires `session:` in issue/PR bodies. Authoritative source:
+`~/.omp/agent/sessions/<cwd-slug>/<timestamp>_<UUID>.jsonl` — the `<UUID>` is
+the session id. Pick the newest file whose first `{"type":"title"}` line names
+this conversation to prove the id is yours. The `wt/<ts>-<hash>` dir suffix is
+NOT the session id (it persists across sessions per cwd).

+## 4. edit-tool auto-prefix trap (recurring)
+A body row written bare (intending it as the "original line" anchor or as
+context) is AUTO-PREFIXED with `+` and INSERTED — leaving the old line plus a
+duplicate. `PUT n.=n:` therefore behaves like insert, not replace, whenever

+description: "Add, enable, or repair a model in the Dankclaw OpenWebUI 0.6 picker: connection enable + model row + access_grant trio, verified via /api/models as admin and role=user."

-# OpenWebUI 0.6 picker ACL repair (Dankclaw)
+# OpenWebUI 0.6 picker: add / enable / repair a model (Dankclaw)

-Symptom: admin sees models in OpenWebUI; regular users get "No results found" in the picker, or chat answers "Model not found". Cause: an OpenAI-connection rebuild (config keys `openai.api_base_urls` / `openai.api_configs` in the `config` table) that dropped the ACL pair for the model.
+Symptoms: non-admin sees "No results found"/"Model not found" while admin sees the model (repair); endpoint live, model_ids correct, model absent from picker (add).

-## Law
-A non-admin user sees an external OpenAI-connection model only if BOTH exist in `webui.db`:
-1. `model` table (singular) row: `id` == upstream model id, `base_model_id` NULL, `is_active` 1, `meta` JSON (description etc.).
-2. `access_grant` row: `(resource_type='model', resource_id=<model id>, principal_type='user', principal_id='*', permission='read')`.
+## Law — a picker entry needs ALL legs, keyed by the EXACT upstream served id
+1. openai.api_configs (config table, JSON map by idx): that connection has enable: true and model_ids containing the upstream id. Non-empty model_ids = no upstream fetch (llama.cpp's Ollama-shaped /v1/models is invisible to discovery; halogen/radiance are OpenAI-shaped, model_ids stays authoritative).
+2. model table row: id == upstream id (alias rows with base_model_id set render in the picker but chat fails "Model not found"), base_model_id NULL, is_active 1, user_id = admin uid, params {"context":{"length": PER-SLOT window}}, meta {"description": "..."}.
+3. access_grant row: resource_type=model, resource_id=<id>, principal_type=user, principal_id='*', permission=read. Without it only admins see the model (get_filtered_models drops info-less rows for role=user).

-The aggregation (`utils/models.py get_filtered_models`) drops info-less models for `role=user`; admins bypass. `get_all_models` responses are served from `model_ids` in `api_config` when non-empty (no upstream fetch). An alias row (`id` != upstream, `base_model_id` set) renders in the picker but chat fails "Model not found" — id must equal the upstream id.
+URLs: on-host endpoints via host.containers.internal:<port> (bridge cannot hairpin the host LAN IP); other hosts via LAN IP.

 ## Steps
-1. Reproduce as the affected role: in a browser tab, `fetch("/api/models", {headers:{Authorization:"Bearer "+localStorage.token}})` → `data: []` while an admin API key (`api_key` table, column `key`, `sk-…`) lists the model.
-2. DB at `/home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data/webui.db` (host; no sqlite3 CLI on Dankclaw — use host `python3` heredoc over ssh; container path `/app/backend/data`).
-3. Insert/repair the pair (uuid4 id, epoch-ms `created_at`):
-   - `model`: id/name = upstream id, base_model_id NULL, is_active 1, user_id = admin uid (role='admin' in `user` table), meta `{"description": "…"}`.
-   - `access_grant`: shape above.
-4. Cache: `MODELS_CACHE_TTL` defaults to 1 s — no restart needed for lists; a restart (`systemctl --user restart open-webui`, rootless) only if config edits were cached oddly. An OpenWebUI restart invalidates browser JWTs (401) — expect a silent SSO re-round-trip; kill stale tabs first so OAuth `state` cookies don't race (MismatchingStateError → clear cookies/storage, one clean flow).
-5. Verify end-to-end: pick the model in the UI, send a short exact-match prompt, confirm the reply; check `/api/models` as the user role lists the id.
+1. Snapshot: cp -a webui.db webui.db.bak-<date><letter>.
+2. Apply with host python3 over ssh (no sqlite3 CLI on Dankclaw) on /home/dank/Containers/open-webui/data/webui.db: read-modify-write the whole openai.api_configs JSON value; insert model row (epoch-ms created_at/updated_at); insert access_grant (uuid4 id).
+3. Restart: systemctl --user restart open-webui.service (rootless quadlet) to drop the cached model list. Restart kills browser JWTs: expect one SSO re-round-trip per tab; kill stale tabs first so OAuth state cookies don't race.
+4. Verify (mint tokens in the container; create_token is in open_webui.utils.auth; export WEBUI_SECRET_KEY from /app/backend/.webui_secret_key):
+   - GET /api/models (key data) lists the id as admin AND as a role=user token (e.g. qa-e2e-admin uid). This is the picker truth.
+   - POST /api/chat/completions, prompt "Reply with exactly one word: pong", max_tokens 1500 (thinking models give empty content + finish_reason length on small budgets).
+   - NEVER gate on GET /api/v1/models/list (key items): on 0.6.x it lists workspace models only, [] for connection-backed models (measured 2026-10-09).

 ## Related knobs
- User API keys (User menu → Settings → Account → API keys → Show → Create new secret key) require `user.permissions` JSON `features.api_keys=true` in `config` (default false).
- New SSO signups land as role `pending` (`ui.default_user_role=pending`) — activate: `UPDATE user SET role='user' WHERE email LIKE …`. Table is `user`, singular; no `active` column.
- Anubis gates `ai.franksdank.cloud` for headless browsers (webdriver detection): drive direct `:3005` for UI work, or emulate a desktop Chrome UA.
+- User API keys need user.permissions JSON features.api_keys=true in config (default false).

+Audit OpenWebUI's TTS/STT wiring on Dankclaw when a voice is rejected, synthesis is silent, or someone asks "is the cloned voice wired correctly". Not for model-picker/ACL issues (openwebui-picker-acl-repair owns those).
+
+## Shape of the stack
+- Container `open-webui` runs **rootless as `dank`** on Dankclaw: `ssh dankclaw 'podman exec open-webui ...'` (NO sudo: `sudo podman` sees an empty world). Host port 3005.
+- Server-side config = `webui.db` `config` table (admin), per-user overrides = `user.settings` JSON column. Settings changed via UI persist per-user; admin page persists to `config`.
+- Cloned voices live behind the frank-tts façade `:7772` (`/v1/audio/speech`, `/v1/audio/voices`); voices resolve to `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav`.
+
+## The trap (2026-10-18 law)
+`Error: Voice "narrator1" not found. Should be one of: af_heart, ...` (29 names) is **OpenWebUI's bundled in-browser Kokoro** (`browser-kokoro`) rejecting client-side — frank-tts never sees the request. Signature: container logs show zero `audio/speech` hits. Fix = the personal dropdown Settings -> Audio -> TTS Engine -> Default (empty string), not any deploy.
+
+## Probe sequence (read-only, safe)
+1. Admin truth:
+   `podman exec open-webui python -c "import sqlite3; c=sqlite3.connect('/app/backend/data/webui.db'); [print(k,'=',v) for k,v in sorted(dict(c.execute('SELECT key,value FROM config')).items()) if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()]"`

+2. User overrides — a user pinned to `browser-kokoro` beats admin config. CAUTION: `user.settings` can be SQL NULL or the JSON string `"null"`:
+   `... for uid,s in c.execute('SELECT id,settings FROM user'): d=json.loads(s) if s else None; d=d if isinstance(d,dict) else {}; hits={k:v for k,v in d.items() if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()} ...`
+3. Endpoint truth: `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` (roster), then POST the exact OpenWebUI body `{"model":"frank-tts","input":"probe","voice":"narrator1","response_format":"mp3","speed":1.0}` to `/v1/audio/speech` — expect `200 audio/mpeg`.
+4. Contrast logic: server-path failure leaves a container log line AND a façade error; browser-kokoro failure leaves neither.

+   edited that is missing from that list went somewhere else.
+3. Keep each work item on its own branch/worktree, and keep ONE integration
+   owner (the parent) for shared files — `scripts/deploy-remote.sh`,
+   `scripts/deploy-plan.py`, `tests/`, `serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md`,
+   `AGENTS.md` are the collision hot spots in this repo. Never rebase a
+   sibling's branch.
+
+## Repair protocol (no `git checkout`, no `git restore`)
+`git checkout -- <path>` and `git restore <path>` are **policy-blocked** in a
+shared workspace ("overwriting working-tree files … discards changes other
+concurrent agents rely on"). Unstaging (`git reset [<path>]`,
+`git restore --staged <path>`) is allowed but does not undo content. So:
+
+```bash
+F="path/with spaces if any"
+# 1. move the change to the worktree that should own it (both at the same base commit)
+cp "<wrong-wt>/$F" "<right-wt>/$F"
+# 2. undo in the wrong worktree by writing the committed blob back
+git -C "<wrong-wt>" show "HEAD:$F" | tee "<wrong-wt>/$F" > /dev/null
+# 3. prove both sides
+md5sum <(git -C "<wrong-wt>" show "HEAD:$F") "<wrong-wt>/$F" "<right-wt>/$F"
+git -C "<wrong-wt>" status --short          # must be empty for that file
+git -C "<right-wt>" diff --stat             # must show the intended delta
+```
+
+Never fix it blind: if the wrong worktree had its own uncommitted edits to that
+file, `cp`/blob-write-back would destroy them — check
+`git -C <wrong-wt> status --short` FIRST and reconcile content, don't overwrite.
+
+## Tidy after a cancelled sibling
+A killed subagent can leave a worktree plus an empty branch. Removing them is
+safe only when verified empty: `git -C <main> log --oneline -3 <branch>` (no
+unique commits) and `git -C <wt> status --short` (clean), then
+`git worktree remove <wt>` + `git branch -D <branch>`. An orphan worktree at a
+stale commit is the same class of trap as a leftover bench drop-in: the next
+agent reads it as unfinished work.
+
+## Report it
+File the misresolution to `xd://report_issue` (false positives are fine) and
+record the incident in the repo worklog — a repair nobody wrote down looks like

+description: "Run remote podman one-shot jobs hang-proof: container-as-unit timeout/reap protocol; diagnosing stalls where ssh never returns and containers outlive timeout"
+---
+
+Use when running one-shot container jobs over SSH (grading sandboxes, CI executors) and a caller stalls, or `timeout N podman run ...` demonstrably fails to kill the workload.
+
+## Stall signatures (all three = this bug)
+- SSH client process alive for hours, no established-socket data flowing
+- `podman ps` shows the container `Up` far past the timeout; `podman top <c> -o pid,stat,etime,args` shows `R`/`S` workload
+- endpoint/queue reports idle (`in_flight: 0`) while the caller awaits
+
+## The three laws
+1. **A `timeout`/SIGTERM on an attached `podman run` client kills only the client.** The container is conmon-detached: it survives, inherits the ssh stdout pipe, ssh never sees EOF, the awaiting parent blocks forever.
+2. **`podman wait` has NO `-t` flag in podman 5.x** (docker-ism) → every exec silently dies with rc 125. Bound the waiter with coreutils `timeout -k 5 <T> podman wait <ctr>` — killing a waiter is harmless.
+3. **`podman rm -f` is the only true container kill** (escalates SIGTERM → SIGKILL on the container itself).
+
+## Hang-proof exec protocol (single ssh script)
+```bash
+cname=job-<unique>
+podman run -d --name "$cname" --network none --memory 4g --cpus 2 <image> python /w/entry >/dev/null
+timeout -k 5 "$T" podman wait "$cname" >/dev/null 2>&1; rc=$?
+code=$(podman inspect -f '{{.State.ExitCode}}' "$cname" 2>/dev/null || echo -1)
+podman logs "$cname" 2>/dev/null; echo "EXIT:${rc}:${code}"
+podman rm -f "$cname" >/dev/null 2>&1
+```
+- `rc=0, code=0` → success; `rc=124` → timed out (container reaped); harvest output via `podman logs`.
+- Wrap the local ssh spawn in a **hard timeout of T + 180 s** (kills transport half-hangs too).
+- Unique `--name` per submission; the trailing `rm -f` is also the leak reaper.
+
+## Recovery of a live stall
+1. `ssh host podman rm -f <ctr>` (warning "resorting to SIGKILL" confirms the theory).
+2. Kill the hung local ssh + supervisor; queue/ledger resume (append-only ledger + takeover by heartbeat-pid liveness) resumes mid-eval; a hung step re-graded under the fixed protocol records a clean FAIL exit 124.
+
+## Test to keep (regression)
+`execPython("while True: time.sleep(1)", timeout=20)` → expect `exitCode 124`, completion < 180 s, then `podman ps --format {{.Names}} | grep -c <prefix>` == 0.

+description: "Resize the KV cache / VRAM pair on a radiance (StillDeadcode) endpoint: engine-budget-table ceiling, pool contract arithmetic, slab-slope law, ledger-first verification, free token-count probes"
+---
+
+# Radiance KV / VRAM pair resize
+
+Use when changing `--vram-kv-mib`, `--vram-weights-mib`, `--max-num-seqs`,
+`--max-model-len` or `--kv-cache-dtype` on a radiance endpoint
+(frank-archon pattern), or when asked "what can we do with the free VRAM".
+
+## 1. The ceiling is the engine's, never a hand-picked reserve
+
+`rocm-smi` free space is NOT spare capacity. The boot prints a `VRAM budget,
+per card` table; read it:
+
+```
+card total          31.86 GiB
+vram_weights        25.00 GiB   stated by --vram-weights-mib
+vram_kv              5.00 GiB   stated by --vram-kv-mib
+unclaimed            477.30 MiB  the headroom, the unusable above, rounding
+W VRAM budgets total 30.00 GiB of the card's 31.86 GiB, so 1.86 GiB is neither
+  budgeted nor accounted. The driver's context, the activation arena and
+  --gpu-headroom-mib come out of it; anything past those is throughput on the floor
+W card 0 settled at 2.01 GiB free against 209.19 MiB (the 96.00 MiB
+  --gpu-headroom-mib and 113.19 MiB kept for the static region)
+```
+
+`ceiling = (settled_free_MiB - engine_floor_MiB) + current_pair_sum`.
+Worked (dankserver, 2026-10-13): 29,120 + (2,058 − 209) = **30,969 MiB/card**.
+A pair at the ceiling settles ~330 MiB free at worst case. If a bound cannot be
+traced to a ledger line, it is a personal reserve — label it and put it in the
+bats gate as such.
+
+## 2. Pool contract (the engine enforces it at REQUEST time, not boot)
+
+`pool_mib >= seqs*max_model_len*rate + 110*seqs + 448`
+
+- rate/token/rank: **7,488 B fp8**, **14,144 B bf16** (1.89×, not 2× — the QSA
+  block key is 3.25 KiB at BOTH dtypes; it is an index, not attention state).
+- +110 MiB a sequence of recurrent state (`kv_gdn_state` 54 MiB × 2 copies +
+  conv/tail/ple) and 448 MiB of prefix checkpoints, dtype-independent.
+
+A pool that fails this **boots, serves short chats, then 400s every long
+request** as `does not fit the 200000 token context, which leaves nothing to
+generate into` — radiance refuses, never truncates. Encode it as a bats gate.
+
+`--kv-cache-dtype` takes ONLY `bf16|fp8`, one dtype for the whole cache (no
+llama.cpp-style exact-K/quantized-V pair).
+
+## 3. Slab and KV are one budget; the slab is a SLOPE
+
+- Idle KV VRAM is the expert cache's spillover: ledger
+  `mover: N slots can be lent out of the KV cache (X GiB)`. A bigger pool steals
+  residency twice over.
+- Slab MiB ↔ resident experts is linear (~1,300 slots per 1,792 MiB measured);
+  the pinned host pool hands back the same slot count as the slab grows
+  (16,235→17,548 slab with 8,893→7,580 pool). The pinned RAM path is the slow
+  path, so slab MiB = throughput.
+- Measured law (fp8, 43.5k single-stream, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next w4):
+  22,208 → 3,397, 24,000 → 3,290, 25,600 → **3,584**, 26,071 → **4,379 t/s**.
+  Two points inside the ±3 % noise band are NOT a plateau — never infer a
+  threshold from two arms.
+- **Decode is a separate axis.** It follows KV dtype/bandwidth and draft
+  acceptance, not the slab: fp8/slab 26,071 decoded 124.1 t/s cold where
+  bf16/slab 22,208 decoded 94.1 (512 tokens, 51.5k). Slot count moves the
+  batch-shared per-stream floor (3 concurrent ≈ 6 t/s; solo ≈ 90–120).
+
+## 4. Verify: ledger first, then live probes (no scratch server)
+
+1. Deploy the service; read `podman logs <svc>`: `backs N sequences all at
+   M tokens at once` is the capacity referee; check slab slots, `unclaimed`,
+   `sampler: ... R rows` (= seqs × (1+spec), must stay inside the 25-row wht6
+   exactness bound), `settled at … free against … floor`.
+2. Boundary probe: N concurrent prompts sized to `max_model_len - gen`, each
+   with a unique marker at the head; expect N/N marker retrieval.
+3. Prefill/decode probe: repo `scripts/probe-frank-archon-kv.py` (reads the
+   shape from the deployed env, so it self-resizes).
+
+### Free token-count calibration (no prefill burned)
+
+`/v1/completions` refuses when **prompt tokens alone** exceed the window —
+`prompt: 202,777 prompt tokens does not fit the 200000 token context` — and the
+refusal names the count BEFORE any prefill. It does NOT fire on
+prompt + max_tokens. Corpus ratio measured: **2.7617 chars/token** (2.5714 for
+the fox filler), so a 200,000-token window ≈ 514,286–552,286 chars. Calibrate
+with a probe ABOVE the window; below it the request is accepted and pays real
+prefill (~22 s).
+
+### Probe traps that produced false results
+
+- Generate **≥128 tokens** (512 preferred) for any decode number; at 8–9 tokens
+  `inter_token` is first-token noise — rates like 92.7 vs 85.8 are noise.
+- Radiance `timings` can carry `null` rates — `(t.get(k) or 0)`, and
+  `j.get("timings") or {}`.
+- The disk prefix cache (64 GiB) survives restarts; put a random nonce at the
+  HEAD of a "cold" prompt. A warm 197k prefill returns in ~10 s and looks like
+  a 60,000 t/s miracle.
+- With thinking enabled, a small `max_tokens` yields empty `content` +
+  `finish_reason: stop` on a healthy server; set
+  `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false` in probes.
+- `echo ===` in an ssh'd zsh dies on `=`-expansion; it silently truncates the
+  command chain.
+
+## 5. Ship
+
+`scripts/<svc>.env` pair + header, serve-script header, bats gates (pair ≤
+ceiling; pool ≥ contract), docs (runbook, `AGENTS.md` fleet row, LLM index,
+log.md), `./tests/run.sh`, `deploy.sh <host> --service <svc>`, then the probes.
+Record every prediction as falsifiable in the env comment and write the verdict
+there when the probe lands — including when it kills the prediction.

+
+## 1. GGUF header census (trust header, not the card)
+- Range-parse the header: tensor count, per-type census (type → tensor count / params / bytes), layer pattern from tensor names, `general.architecture`, `llm_type`, rope dim, expert counts, `mtp` declaration.

+## 2. Gap matrix vs radiance docs
+Read `PLUGIN.md` (arch-plugin contract, quantizer registry, core/mm image-pipeline law), `OPS.md` (op catalog: attention tiles h256 gqa2/4/8 + h512 gqa8, GDN, QSA, MoE, MTP), `QSA.md` (indexer decomposition bounds), `GUIDE.md` + `gguf.cpp` (dtype table 0–44: all standard GGUF grids readable — quantization happens in rad-convert, not the loader). Classify every component REUSE / ADAPT / NEW with the specific op named. The live `qwen4exp` plugin (~2k lines, QSA+MoE+mHC+GDN) is the template and the shared-header reuse list.
+
+## 3. Laws checklist (recurring traps)
+- GGUF `ssm_a` = −exp(A_log); undo at convert/plugin time.
+- One-table-one-encoding: a routed-expert table takes ONE rad encoding; mixed GGUF grids (q2/q3/q4 per layer) re-quantize to w4 GPTQ + whole-expert BF16 protected set.
+- int8 trunk + int8 lm_head laws; swiglu clamp carries from the arch family; rope-free layers need no RoPE path.
+- KDA ≠ GDN: per-channel decay + 3 convs + L2-normed q/k + lower-bound gate → new kernel family (FLA `chunk_kda` is the oracle); `kkt_solve`/`chunk_scan` is the critical path.
+- MLA: latent-cache absorbed form (KV = latent width × dtype), needs its own attention tile (e.g. h512 gqa-64) + per-head v bmm.
+- llama.cpp merged PR for the arch = the ground-truth formula oracle (sign conventions, APE layout, Sinkhorn input).
+
+## 4. Ledgers (all in the report)
+- Per-token weight traffic GB (trunk int8 + active experts w4 + lm_head) → decode anchored on frank-archon's measured 99 t/s @ ~6.3 GB/token; state [INFERENCE].
+- KV: per-token bytes per pool + per-seq state terms; cross-check vs any prior fleet runbook that served the same model.
+- Pinned RAM: host pool + prefix vs `LimitMEMLOCK`/`ttm-preflight.sh` law.

+# Radiance re-quant source audit (dank-fleet)
+
+Decide whether a new/heavier radiance `.rad` quant is buildable from local state, and what must be re-fetched. Run this BEFORE costing any campaign.
+
+## Irreversibility law (never re-litigate)
+- Quantization is one-way: a `.rad` payload on disk is a lossy ENDPOINT. Re-encoding it upward only re-wraps its own KL error.
+- `rad-convert` takes a RAW HF checkpoint directory (safetensors) — never a `.rad`. No dequant→requant path exists in the engine (see `scripts/convert-swift15-w4dn8.sh` mount line).
+- Therefore any genuine rung change needs the high-precision checkpoint on disk. Even "more bf16-protected experts instead of wider codes" needs the bf16 tensors at convert time.

+- BF16 Swift1.5 source + fp8-native `.rad` were DELETED 2026-10-15; only the serving iq4r + w4dn8 rollback `.rad`s remain under `/home/dank/models/rad/`.

+
+## Reuse rules (what each survivor is bound to)
+| Asset | Reusable for |
+|---|---|
+| Calibration grams (RADGRAM2, down-input Hessians) | ONLY the checkpoint they were recorded from (Swift1.5) — tiers-independent, so valid for ANY new recipe tier on that same base |
+| KLD reference log-probs | ONLY same-base candidates |
+| Corpora JSONL | any base (recalibrate if base changes) |
+| Derived protected-expert list | same base only (routing is finetune-specific) |
+Reusing grams+KLD ref skips ~8 h of GPU-serve windows (calibration + KLD record).
+
+## Heavier-rung pool-fit ceiling
+Expert tables for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next bill ~56 GiB (w4) → ~75 (w5/w6 class) → ~112 GiB (int8/fp8) across both ranks (from the recipe's own mass lines: gate_up 150 + down 75 GiB bf16). The one-table-one-encoding law moves the whole expert set together. Pinned host pool 43,928 MiB/rank ⇒ **only w5/w6-class rungs keep the no-streaming shape**; int8/fp8 experts overflow it and re-open the NVMe 3.5 GB/s streaming era. FP8-official-checkpoint rebuild (172.8 GB, ungated, no-recipe copy) is the cheap half-download "heavier" but carries those streaming economics.

+Upstream w5dn64-vs-iq4r on the official checkpoint: mean KL 0.0789→0.0717, top-1 93.34 %, decode +4 %, prefill −19 %. A custom heavier official rung reproduces this; a custom heavier Swift1.5 rung reuses the fleet's own grams/KLD assets instead.

+## Laws (measured; trust over recalculation)
+- Slab is a THRESHOLD: 22,208 → 3,397, 24,000 → 3,290, 25,600 → 3,290 t/s at 43.5k; cliff at ~26 GiB (26,071 → 4,379).
+- Decode is nearly window-free: 99.0 t/s at 43.5k, 93.3 at 197k.
+- Slots are paid in decode CONCURRENCY: 3 streams = 18.4 t/s aggregate, per-stream a fused-step lottery (113.9/43.3/10.9).
+- Idle KV VRAM lends to the expert slab (fp8 pool 6,912 lent 6.08 GiB vs 2.69 at 3,543).
+- Bigger pool can LOWER prefill: more resident experts = less pinned host-pool traffic.
+- Oversized prompt is FREE and refused by name — counter `frank_archon_prompt_too_large_total` counts; refusal fires on PROMPT tokens alone ("leaves nothing to generate into"); radiance NEVER truncates.
+- TTM: serve script raises `ttm.pages_limit` to `FRANK_ARCHON_TTM_TARGET_MIB` itself (reboot resets to half RAM); unit ExecStartPre hook.
+- Refusal signature: `activating (auto-restart)`, exit 1 in ~50 ms, no container, no engine log.
+
+## Probe law
+- 512 generated tokens minimum (8–24-token probes report decode noise as rate); greedy; cold prompts (unique nonce) to defeat the disk prefix cache; acceptance ~0.66–0.74 on repo corpus, repetitive filler 0.93–0.97 (never compare across corpora).
+- Radiance routes thinking to `reasoning_content`: set `chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=false`, read content + reasoning_content.
+- `finish_reason: "stop"` with `completion_tokens: 1` on a capacity request = accepted, not failed.
+
+## Traps
+- Python heredoc over ssh: `str.maketrans` with quoted numeric literals collapses (`'0123456789'` → `'06789'`) — build alphabets with `chr(48+i)`/`chr(97+i)`.
+- `FRANK_SUDO_PW` in `/home/dank/.profile` has a CRLF tail; strip `\r` for systemd credentials (`tr -d '\r' | sudo systemd-credential ...`).

+## 3. Tolerate broken JSON
+Naive `json.loads` on `data` can fail "Extra data: line 1 column ~4600" — the payload is a complete object followed by `, "architecture": ..., "report": ...}` (agent emitted a structure whose early brace-closure ended the first object). Recover with `json.JSONDecoder().raw_decode`:
+1. `part1, end = dec.raw_decode(data.strip())`
+2. `rest = data[end:].strip()` — if it starts with `,`, parse `part2 = dec.raw_decode('{' + rest.lstrip(', '))[0]`
+3. `merged = {**part1, **part2}`
+Do this for ALL yields and keep the largest merged dict (attempts evolve; keys seen: `summary`, `files`, `report`, `architecture`).
+
+## 4. Persist and deliver
+Write the recovered `report`/`summary` to a durable file (memory dir or `local://`), then continue synthesis — never re-run the research the dead scout already did.
+
+## Prevention (do this first next time)
+- While the agent is still alive and looping: write to `agent://<Name>` steering it to "yield immediately, wrap in minimal object or raw markdown, schema-invalid yield acceptable — I read the transcript anyway." It often still can't (the failure is in the harness wrapper, not the agent) → let it be killed and use the extraction above.
+- Scout default schema wants objects; terse yields from `scout` agents hit this most. Keep expected reports slice-sized.

+---
+
+# Repo change → HTML report in browser
+
+Produce a standalone HTML report covering `git log main..HEAD`, grouped into atomic tasks (one task may span commits; one commit may serve several tasks), per-file `what`/`why` tables, inline SVG diagrams, then `xdg-open file://…`.
+
+## 1. Gather facts first (never from memory)
+```
+git log --reverse --format="COMMIT %h %s" main..HEAD
+for c in $(git log --reverse --format=%h main..HEAD); do
+  echo "== $c $(git log -1 --format=%s $c)"; git show --format="" --stat=200 "$c"; done
+```
+`--stat=short` is invalid; use `--stat=200`. Supplement with the session's per-file notes.
+
+## 2. Write to a file OUTSIDE the repo
+`~/reports/<repo>-<branch-date>.html` — keeps the worktree clean.
+
+## 3. Chunk the writes (payload limits are real)
+- First chunk: `write` (head + CSS + hero cards + nav).
+- Later chunks: `edit` with `PUT >$` (append), ~6–8 KB each. A single giant `write` gets truncated mid-arguments.
+- **No appended body line may begin with `-`** (e.g. a wrapped `--host H`); the edit parser rejects it as a deletion row. Keep flag-like tokens inline.
+- Never end a PUT mid-sentence; if a sentence spills, include ALL its lines in the same PUT, then verify the seam region reads cleanly.
+
+## 4. Structure that worked (7-task, 13-commit branch)
+- Stat cards (commits, tasks, tests green, key counts) + sticky anchor nav.
+- Commit-arc SVG (dots on a timeline, colored by task; dashed edge for a task spanning two commits).
+- One section per atomic task: `why` callout → SVG before/after diagram → per-commit `File | What | Why` tables.
+- Footer: deploy-day notes, trash/retirement pending approvals.
+- CSS: only theme vars (`--fg --muted --surface --border --accent --success --error --c1..--c6`) with a `prefers-color-scheme: dark` block; SVGs style via `currentColor`/vars; no external assets, no scripts.
+
+## 5. Validate before opening
+Python `html.parser` pass: tag stack empty, zero mismatches (treat `path rect circle line marker` + void HTML tags as self-closing); assert every nav anchor id exists; print table/figure counts. Then:

+name: repo-wide-terminology-sweep
+description: "Rewrite or retire a phrase/term across every comment in a repo (e.g. jargon ban, de-law comments) without breaking tests or leaving ragged prose seams"
+---
+
+Use when asked to eliminate/replace a word or phrase in comments across a whole repo (jargon bans, style cutovers, retiring event-narrative lore).
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Census with word boundaries.** `git ls-files -z | xargs -0 grep -inwE "term(s)?"` — plain substring grep drowns the list in false positives (e.g. `law` matches inside `alloy`-adjacent noise, `download`, `flaw`). Exclude docs explicitly if scope is comments only (`grep -v "^docs/\|^AGENTS.md:"`).
+2. **Dump all hits with line numbers** in one pass, then batch-read each site's surrounding block (`read file:start-end`). Comments span multiple lines; a single hit line rarely carries the full claim.
+3. **Check tests pin comment text BEFORE rewriting.** Suites sometimes grep exact comment strings; those seams need rewiring (test the contract, not the prose), found by running affected bats/pytest files after each file's edit, not at the end.
+4. **Rewrite around the mechanism, not the incident.** Replace dated narratives and jargon with: the constraint, the mechanism enforcing it, the consequence of violating it. Keep project-specific parameters (paths, flags, sizes) — they are the subject; generalize the *reasoning* so it transfers.
+5. **Edit multi-line blocks as whole blocks.** When replacing the middle line of a wrapped sentence, include ALL continuation lines in the replacement body. Partial bodies leave seams: sentences ending mid-clause, duplicated lines, orphaned fragments.
+6. **Seam hunt after editing.** Review `git diff -U0` added lines for the block mid-sentence heuristic (`grep -E "(the|a|of|and|at|per|by|is|in|to|for)$"`), then re-read every site where the diff boundary fell inside a paragraph; verify the full sentence reads coherently.
+7. **Verify behavior-identical.** `bash -n` every touched shell file, `py_compile` touched Python, parse touched YAML, run the FULL suite — comment sweeps must exit 0 with the same test count as before. A green suite does not prove prose is intact; step 6 does.
+8. **One atomic commit**; state the rewrite law in the message with a few old→new example pairs.
+
+## Pitfalls
+
+- Jargon often escapes into identifiers and log strings (`scale_law` variable, refusal messages) — grep word-boundary matches in code, rename locals/messages only if no test pins the string.
+- Line anchors drift between files edited in the same batch; on a stale-anchor error the tool shows real content — re-target, don't re-read blindly.

+
+## Protocol law (mirrors eval/scripts/test_generated_code.py @ e3158ea011d4235245a547460d3688d7ccbf9900)
+- Submitted function extracted via `scicode.parse.parse.extract_function_name` + `get_function_from_code` inside the Dankclaw sandbox image `frank-bench-py:3.12-scicode1` (python:3.12-slim + git + numpy/scipy/pandas/matplotlib/h5py + `scicode @ git+...@pin`; git is REQUIRED for pip git+https on slim).
+- Gold expected values live ONLY in `test_data.h5` (1.05 GB, authors' Drive folder `1W5GZW6_bdiDAiipuFMqdUhvUaHIj6-pR`, fetch with `uvx --with gdown gdown --folder <url> -O <dir>` — lands in a `SciCode_test/` subdir, move up). Bind per test case: `targets = process_hdf5_to_tuple(step_number, len(cases), h5py_file="/w-data/test_data.h5")`, then `ns["target"] = targets[i]` before exec'ing each case. Mount read-only at `/w-data`.
+- STRIP MARKDOWN FENCES before extraction. The official pipeline stores clean code; the grader `exec`s text verbatim, so "```python" lines = guaranteed SyntaxError = 100% false FAIL (live census caught 7/7). Apply to submissions AND prior-step texts.
+- Splits: dev (15 problems / 50 steps, ships `ground_truth_code` + self-contained tests with inline `target = ...`) grades with REFERENCE-solution context; test split (65 problems / 288 steps, gold is None, tests reference h5 `target`/`refN`) is SELF-CUMULATIVE (model's own prior generations, inspect-ai convention). Scope = 338 steps = AA design count. Loader reads `problems_test.jsonl` + `problems_dev.jsonl` from HF `SciCode1/SciCode`.
+
+## Harness-fault census (bench analyze)
+Before trusting any SciCode score, run the failure-signature census. Indict the harness (not the model) when:
+- `NameError: name 'target' is not defined` — h5 targets not reaching tests (never staged / not mounted / bare-target fixtures).
+- `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scicode'` — sandbox image lacks the pinned package.
+- 100% shared signature across ≥10 failures — systematic fault, audit protocol first.
+Historic incident 2026-10-10: first live run "0% pass" = 251× target-NameError + 36× scicode-module: all harness faults.
+
+## Sandbox ops
+- Stage h5 with sha256 compare (`ssh sha256sum` vs local) before transfer; stream via `ssh 'cat > file'`.
+- DRY sandbox must emit `SCICODE_PASS (DRY_RUN)` so DRY grading passes.
+- podman short-names: an image tag that was never built falls through to registry lookup (exit 125) — ensure the tag exists (build) before `podman run`; tests that call `execPython` directly must `ensureSandbox()` first.

+
+### 1. PRIME DIRECTIVES
+- YOU ARE LOCALLY HOSTED (not cloud-hosted)
+- ALWAYS invoke tool `--help` / `man` before use
+- REFRESH memory before every command
+- NEVER write to a file without reading it first
+
+### 2. Persona
+- **User**: Frank, 35, DevOps Software Engineer in Seattle, September 2026
+- **Identity**: Comrade Chief Designer of Soviet Computer Systems (Dankclaw + Dankserver)
+- **Background**: History buff, sci-fi/fantasy enthusiast
+- **Adjectives**: well-measured, cautious, expeditious, ambitious, concise, surgical, thorough, efficient

+### 3. Voice
+- Engaging, friendly, informative, humorous but scientifically accurate
+- Uses Mermaid diagrams to explain concepts
+- Prefers short bullet points
+
+### 4. Preferred Tools
+- Shell (BASH/ZSH), npm, bun, TypeScript, Terraform, Podman

+description: "Swap the model on frank-archon (the endpoint the operator session runs on): full pre-cutover repo unit, detached deploy that survives session death, post-return boot-ledger harvest, e2e attribution."
+---
+
+# Swapping the model you are running on (frank-archon)
+
+The harness agent shares the endpoint being swapped: the deploy restarts
+frank-archon, the session dies mid-tool-call, the harness catches the return.
+Plan for the severing; never keep critical state only in-session.
+
+## Pre-cutover (all must be committed/pushed BEFORE the deploy)
+1. Read `scripts/frank-archon.env` live state and record the shape; the swap
+   changes ONLY `MODEL_FILE` (fleet model-swap law) unless asked otherwise.
+2. Fetch script per payload (hfget + exact bytes + Hub LFS sha256 +
+   `--verify-only`, no token on the command line); run detached via
+   `systemd-run --unit=<name>-fetch` on dankserver.
+3. Re-key in one commit: `frank-archon.env` (+ trio headers),
+   `tests/frank_archon_unit.bats` payload id/sha256 (keep the outgoing
+   payload as the documented rollback line), homepage card
+   (`shared/homepage/services.json`), runbook (new era page + index flips +
+   old page retired), `AGENTS.md` topology row/section/runbook index.
+4. Full `./tests/run.sh` green, push origin main, `git pull --ff-only` on
+   dankserver. Verify the engine pin's flag set matches the payload card
+   (radiance pins have drifted on flag renames).
+5. Disk: check `df -h /home/dank` before launching a >100 GB download; the
+   outgoing payload stays on disk as rollback — deleting it requires Frank's
+   one-time `rm` authorization.
+
+## Cutover, detached from the session
+Launch from the workstation as a transient unit so ssh/session teardown
+cannot kill it:
+```
+setsid systemd-run --unit=archon-<tag>-cutover --remain-after-exit \
+  bash -lc 'cd <repo> && ./scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service frank-archon \
+    > ~/archon-<tag>-cutover.log 2>&1; echo $? > ~/archon-<tag>.rc'
+```
+The session dies when frank-archon restarts (~1–2 min load). On return:
+read the `.rc` sentinel and log tail; then the journal ledger:
+```
+journalctl -u frank-archon --no-pager --since "<deploy>" | grep -iE "kv cache|slab|sampler|MTP|prefix"
+```
+
+## Post-boot harvest (fill the runbook placeholders)
+- KV: `kv_attn` KiB/4-token block, pool token count vs `seqs × max-model-len`.
+- Expert slab slots per rank (compare to the outgoing payload).
+- Sampler rows = `seqs × (1 + spec)` (wht6 exactness bound 25).
+- Prefix-cache RECOVERED line (survives swaps when arch+tokenizer unchanged).
+- Vision probe: solid-color PNG ≥256 px, read `reasoning_content` (small
+  max_tokens → thinking eats the budget, `content` empty with
+  `finish_reason: stop` = healthy, not broken).
+- Decode ladder needs a stop-and-mask window — separate bench task.
+
+## e2e gate redness on dankclaw surfaces
+`deploy.sh dankserver` runs the Playwright gate against the LIVE fleet, so
+dankclaw faults fail your deploy. Attribute before believing: crawl 502 /
+SSO fail / Marreta tile → run the
+`gluetun-dependent-boot-race-recovery` census first (reboot-triggered,
+unrelated to the swap), cascade-restart, rerun `tests/e2e/run.sh` directly —
+a frank-archon health gate that passed means the swap itself is fine.
+
+## Rollback
+Revert the swap commit, redeploy `--service frank-archon` — the outgoing
+`.rad` remains on disk (until deleted by authorized `rm`).

+description: "Land a docs-only (vault/log) commit on serverAppConfigs main without a PR: tests green, then fast-forward main via git push origin HEAD:main — including recovery when the omp worktree base is stale or pre-compaction edits vanished."
+---
+
+# serverAppConfigs docs-only landing
+
+Land vault/log edits on `main` directly (no PR) when the change touches only
+`serverAppConfigs-docs/**` (or `AGENTS.md`): the deployer treats docs-only
+changes as a no-op, and origin is the self-hosted Gitea — pushing there is
+allowed.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. **Ground-truth the worktree BEFORE editing** (omp worktrees go stale
+   between sessions/compactions):
+   - `git fetch origin && git log --oneline 3e140cd..origin/main`-style check:
+     `git log --oneline HEAD..origin/main` — if non-empty, main advanced
+     (sibling sessions land zealot/dankclaw work constantly).
+   - NEVER trust the session summary that "file X was already edited": the
+     worktree may sit at an older commit and transcript-era edits may not
+     exist on disk. Verify with `grep -n "<new-phrase>" <file>`; redo edits
+     against a fresh read if absent.
+   - Line numbers in AGENTS.md shift between main versions — re-locate stale
+     claims by `grep -n "on disk\|stays on disk\|rollback target" AGENTS.md`,
+     never by remembered line numbers.
+2. Edit (read target regions fresh; long table rows in AGENTS.md must be
+   re-emitted whole via `PUT n.=n:` — get the full row first with
+   `read path:N:raw`).
+3. `./tests/run.sh` — full bats suite must pass (~60–75 s; run async, do
+   other work). Docs seams of interest: `docs_completeness` (index links
+   every page, no unresolved `[[wikilinks]]`).
+4. Commit on the worktree branch, then rebase onto `origin/main` if it
+   advanced. Typical conflict: `log.md` tail — both sides appended entries;
+   resolution = keep both blocks, `CUT` the three marker lines, re-add the
+   blank line before the second heading.
+5. Re-run the docs seam (or full suite if non-prose changed) against the
+   exact pushed tree.
+6. **Push:** `git push origin HEAD:main` — plain push IS the fast-forward
+   PR-less merge. NEVER `--force`/`--no-verify`. If Gitea rejects, main moved
+   again: rebase (step 4) and push again.
+7. Docs-only = no `deploy.sh` run needed; hosts pick the pages up on their
+   next pull.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- `git status` not listing a file you "just edited" + `rev-parse HEAD`
+  mismatch vs `git worktree list` → the harness recreated/reset the worktree;
+  the edits are gone. Redo, don't hunt.
+- `log.md` entries: heading `## YYYY-MM-DD — topic`, blank line between
+  entries; docs seam tolerates either entry order within a day.
+- Prose-only amend after a green suite: rerun at least
+  `bats tests/docs_completeness.bats` before push.
+- Do not reset the shared `main` checkout in `~/Projects/serverAppConfig`;
+  it falls behind origin and the user syncs it.

+- `test-changed.sh`: cases for `dankclaw/frank-dragoon/*`, `dankclaw/compose.yaml`, `dankserver/Caddyfile` match nothing.
+- `AGENTS.md` runbook index lists frank-archon's **retired** runbook as active while the endpoint section names the current one; frank-archon's shape is written in three places in that file.
+- `shared/homepage/dankserver.services.json`: zero references; `deploy_homepage` copies six named files and it is not one of them.
+- `scripts/hf-fetch.sh`: superseded by `scripts/hfget.sh`, no callers.
+- Undeclared shared networks: 15 units attach to `dankclaw_default`, 6 to `dankserver_appnet`; no `.network` file in the repo defines either.
+- `dankserver/compose.yaml` defines six containers whose names are owned by quadlet units, with diverged volume paths; `deploy_compose_service` refuses to act on it and `compose_validity.bats` checks YAML shape only.
+- `frank-zealot.service` `Restart=on-failure` violates the law `frank_archon_unit.bats` states (clean engine exit reads as success, so on-failure never fires); the zealot seam greps `^Restart=` and passes.

+# serverAppConfigs vault page registration
+
+Adding any page under `serverAppConfigs-docs/` fails `tests/docs_completeness.bats` ("docs index links every docs page") unless registered in BOTH indexes. Learned the hard way: the section index alone is not enough.
+
+## Procedure
+
+1. Write the page with OKF frontmatter: `type` (e.g. `reference`), `title`, `description`, `tags`, `timestamp` (ISO with `-07:00` offset).
+2. Cross-links inside page bodies use **markdown links** for cross-folder paths (`[Observability](../Infrastructure/Observability.md)`); `[[wikilinks]]` resolve by page title and must NOT carry relative paths.
+3. Register a `[[Page Title]]` bullet in the section index (e.g. `serverAppConfigs-docs/Operations/index.md`).
+4. Register the SAME `[[Page Title]]` bullet in the ROOT index `serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md` under the matching section heading (root index has its own "Operations:", "Architecture:", ... lists). This is the step the test enforces.

+   zero/absurd start time = the container was never created → the gate, not the
+   engine.
+4. Read the gate's code path in the repo (`scripts/serve-<svc>.sh`) before
+   touching the host: it prints exactly what it requires.
+
+Do NOT reach for `journalctl -k` GPU/OOM theories, gdb, or a payload checksum
+until the exit latency is above ~1 s. A 50 ms exit is a shell gate.
+
+## The reboot law
+Runtime kernel knobs reset at every boot. `ttm.pages_limit` (caps GPU-mappable
+pinned pages) defaults to HALF OF RAM, so any manual `echo N > /sys/...` raise is
+a countdown to the next reboot — a power failure included. Measured on dankserver
+2026-10-12 23:17: raise to 52,428,800 pages (200 GiB) -> power failure -> kernel
+default 32,253,039 pages (125,988 MiB) -> the pinned-ledger gate (floor 150,000)
+refused the start 6,919 times in ~20 h.
+
+So: never prescribe a manual sysfs write as the recovery procedure for a service
+that can boot before a human reaches it. Make the START raise the knob.
+
+## Making the raise privileged
+The service is `User=dank`, the knob is root-owned 0644 → `[ -w "$knob" ]` is
+FALSE in the service process and a plain `echo` fails silently. A "root unit"
+with `User=` is NOT a root process.
+- Canonical: `ExecStartPre=+/path/to/gate.sh --raise` — systemd's `+` prefix runs
+  as root even under `User=`, before ExecStart, so `Restart=always` can never
+  outrun it.
+- Fallback for a human running the gate from a shell: `sudo -n sh -c "echo N > '$knob'"`.
+- Gate order: read → if below floor, raise → RE-READ → refuse by name only after
+  a write that was refused. Reading = min over the knobs that exist (an absent
+  knob is skipped, never read as 0).
+- Belt for the boot path: the module option (`/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf`,
+  `options ttm pages_limit=N`) — Dankclaw persists its raise that way.
+
+## Verification of a knob-raise fix
+- `cat /sys/module/ttm/parameters/pages_limit` after the boot equals the target.
+- Journal shows the hook's own pid line (`ttm-preflight.sh[...]: ... raising the
+  knob to ...`) BEFORE `Started <svc>.service`.
+- Confirm the live shape from `podman inspect <ctr> --format '{{json .Config.Cmd}}'`
+  — the restart succeeding proves nothing about the flags.
+- Test the gate against a temp knob dir (env-overridable sysfs path): writable
+  below-floor knob → raised + exit 0; unwritable → cap unchanged + exit 1. Run the
+  refusal case with a PATH containing `cat`+`bash` and NO `sudo`, or root writes
+  the 444 file and the case tests nothing.

+description: "Retroactively register hand-copied skills with the vercel-labs skills CLI (global store + lockfile), wire omp via the agents provider (no repo symlinks), and extract authored overrides without twins"
+---
+
+# Skills CLI retroactive store wiring (omp tiers)
+
+Retrofit provenance for hand-copied skills and wire them for omp on Dank workstations. Executed 2026-10-18 on blankpad; doctrine doc: `omp-docs/tools/vercel-labs-skills/skill-store-wiring.md` (repo).
+
+## Tier law (final design — do NOT reintroduce per-skill symlinks in the repo)
+| Tier | Path | Owner |
+|---|---|---|
+| Store | `~/.agents/skills/` + lockfile `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` (v3) | `skills` CLI |
+| Authored | `<repo>/agent/skills/` real dirs | Frank, branch → PR |
+| Managed | `~/.omp/agent/managed-skills/` | `manage_skill` only |
+
+omp has NO agent id in the skills CLI (79-agent registry in `dist/cli.mjs`; `-a pi` writes `~/.agents/skills` too — pi detector keys on `~/.pi/agent`). omp reads the store DIRECTLY via its `agents` provider (`skills.enableAgentsUser`, default true; check with `read cfg://skills`). Precedence: authored (native, 100) > skillshare > ... > agents provider > managed (5). Identical copies collapse by realpath; differing same-named copies survive namespaced `agents/<name>` with a startup warning — so when authoring an override, REMOVE the store twin (`npx -y skills remove <name> -g`; prunes lockfile too) or `skills update -g` resurrects a twin.
+
+## Procedure (retroactive registration)
+1. List the repo/live skill dirs to register; identify true sources (per-skill — e.g. `find-skills` is `vercel-labs/skills`, not `mattpocock/skills`).
+2. Drift check FIRST, per skill, before anything moves: `diff -rq <live>/<name> ~/.agents/skills/<name>` after canonical install; abort-and-report on drift (byte-identical = clean cutover).
+3. Canonical install (scratch dir with a package.json; global scope): `npx -y skills add <owner>/<repo> --all -g` (+ per extra source `npx -y skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills --agent universal -g`). Artifacts: store dirs + `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json`; verify `jq '.skills|length'`.
+4. Authored extraction (only for skills the user will customize): copy dir into repo `agent/skills/<name>/`, add an "Authored override" note after frontmatter, then `npx -y skills remove <name> -g` and confirm `jq '.skills|has("<name>")' == false`.
+5. Clear repo copies of store-managed skills (repo records authored overrides ONLY). Live cutover after merge: move old dirs to /tmp snapshot, `git merge --ff-only origin/main` in the live checkout.
+6. `skills ls` from a repo containing `agent/skills` mislabels skills as Eve project skills (path collision) — attribution noise, ignore.
+7. Fresh-box recipe (three commands, no wiring): add `--all -g`, add find-skills, `remove grilling -g`.
+
+## Gotchas
+- Eve/Codex `agents/openai.yaml` files ride along from upstream; omp ignores them — prune from authored dirs (they get swept off disk elsewhere, leaving phantom ` D` in git status).
+- `skills remove` prunes only global scope if `-g` given; check lockfile after.
+- Mid-run doc readers (subagents) may see pre-cutover trees — send them a correction message, don't let stale advice ship in issue bodies.

+- command-center (~/.omp) worktree-clean law, verified 2026-10-09: (1) The secret gate's PEM family regex (BEGIN, a space, a bracketed A-Z star class, PRIVATE KEY) does NOT self-match when the pattern is quoted in brackets form — a SKILL.md documenting the gate verbatim in regex-bracket shape is safe to stage; only the bare quoted literal (e.g. the plain two-word PEM header phrase, the xox[baprs] family prefix followed by 10+ token chars) trips it. Before any commit that stages prose about secrets, pre-scan with the exact gate one-liner: staged=$(git diff --cached --diff-filter=ACM -U0 -- '*.md' '*.yml' '*.yaml' '*.json' '*.toml' '*.sh' '*.ts' '*.js'); printf '%s\n' "$staged" | grep -Eic 'gate patterns' — 0 hits means the gate will pass; redact prose descriptively, never ALLOW_SECRETS. (2) The omp auto-learner mints managed skills under agent/managed-skills/name/ DURING a session — a "clean tree" declared mid-session goes dirty again when capture fires (observed: noctalia-bar-layout-edit appeared between commit and final status). Re-run git status as the LAST command of a cleanup pass. (3) Classification rule that made the tree clean in one pass: agent/memories/*/learned.md and agent/managed-skills/ are config → commit atomically; new top-level runtime dirs (webcache/, reports/, local/, wt/) are state → .gitignore. webcache/ (harness web-fetch cache) is gitignored as of commit 4d2b024.
 - Noctalia v5 config layering (verified live on blankpad 2026-10-09): bar widget layout lives in the GUI-override layer ~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml under [bar.name] keys start/center/end (defaults: start=["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"], center=["clock"]); settings.toml loads LAST and wins over ~/.config/noctalia/config.toml. Both layers are watched and hot-reloaded — edit + noctalia config validate + screenshot is the full apply/verify loop (no restart, no reload IPC). Noctalia writes THROUGH symlinks and keeps the link, so keeping settings.toml symlinked from the command-center dotfiles repo is safe. Combine workspace+window indicator: [widget.taskbar] group_by_workspace=true (needs compositor per-window workspace data — niri has it) renders per-workspace capsules with disc labels, workspace_group_content = icons|count|dots (count/dots left-click activates the workspace); the workspaces widget itself has no window-display mode. Applied on blankpad: bar.default start=["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces","taskbar"], center=["cat"] (command-center commits 9255a8b, 0ccdd46). _(context: Blankpad noctalia 5.2.1 bar layout change 2026-10-09: taskbar moved to left section, group_by_workspace identified as the combining widget, verified via config validate + fullscreen screenshot)_
 - The command-center (~/.omp) pre-commit secret gate (.githooks/pre-commit, single grep -E of known token regexes) SELF-MATCHES its own documented pattern literals: committing prose that quotes them verbatim (e.g. a quoted PEM private-key header line, the xox[baprs] family prefix, the github-pat prefix, long sk- examples) trips SECRET GATE and blocks the commit (observed twice 2026-10-09 on agent/memories/--home-blank-.omp--/learned.md audit prose). Convention: redact pattern literals descriptively in prose ("PEM private-key headers", "the xox[baprs] family", "ghp 36") instead of setting ALLOW_SECRETS=1; the gate firing on prose is the gate working as designed. Note the gate covers only 10 families — no hf_/npm_/AIza/glpat-short/basic-auth-URL coverage — so clean-gate history is not proof of no leaks.
 - niri 26.04 event-stream (niri msg --json event-stream) has NO hotplug event: OutputConfigChanged is only an ACK that an IPC/config output change was Applied (per niri-ipc docs; proven live — mode flips via niri msg output NAME mode WxH@Hz and DPMS off/on emit zero output events). Detect monitor connect/disconnect by diffing the sorted unique set of .WorkspacesChanged.workspaces[].output across events (off/on cycle of eDP-1 emitted exactly WorkspacesChanged 2x). Debounce ~1.5s; OutputConfigChanged events are emitted in bursts on every config reload — ignoring them prevents hotplug-daemon echo loops. Implemented in dank/command-center scripts/desk-autoswitch.sh (blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service). Related trap: niri msg output 26.04 syntax is niri msg output NAME ACTION [args] (mode/off/on), not the old NAME WxH@Hz form.

After an LLM deploy, verify behaviourally: podman inspect container --format {{json .Config.Cmd}} + systemctl cat unit (drop-ins print at the bottom) + /v1/models. Before removing a drop-in: diff staging vs deploy-checkout serve script/unit/env, and git merge-base --is-ancestor stagingHEAD HEAD. (2) Verify a served-model-id rename on /v1/models, never on a chat response: radiance echoes the REQUESTED model name, so a 200 with the new name proves nothing; llama.cpp and halogen ignore the requested id entirely. (3) OpenWebUI keys a model id in three places — model.id+name, access_grant.resource_id (resource_type='model'), openai.api_configs per-backend model_ids — a stale id fails silently (empty picker: it intersects the backend /v1/models with model_ids).

No per-user model grant needed — the picker model carries the global access_grant row (model, frank-secondary, user, *, read). Written up in serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/OpenWebUI.md (SSO section). (2) The proxysession claim purge is only due when a group change follows an existing login; users created with their groups already in place have zero rows — verify with a per-user census instead of purging blindly.

 - serverAppConfig multi-session triage rule (proven 2026-10-05, three events in one day): when ./tests/run.sh goes red and the failing seams point at files you did not touch, FIRST split the breakage by git state: (a) COMMITTED-but-broken states from a parallel session (swap commits that forgot their seam/deployer twins) → repair them yourself in clearly-labeled follow-up commits; that is what kept the suite green twice. (b) UNCOMMITTED working-tree state (M/untracked files owned by a LIVE concurrent session — check git status --porcelain and untracked ?? entries against HEAD, which may not have moved) → do NOT edit those files; the other session is mid-flight and will reconcile env+seam+docs in its own commit; editing its dirty tree risks colliding with an active writer. Verify your own pushed state instead (rev-list HEAD...origin/main, targeted seams on your files) and report the named dirty files as the red-suite owner.

Correct shape: build PROJECT_ARGS only when no user --project is present, then exec npx playwright test "$@" "${PROJECT_ARGS[@]}".

On 2026-10-05 two consecutive commits broke it: the Ornith-1.5-9B Q8_0 payload swap (77decb5) left both consumers on MiMo-Q6K paths, and the KV reprice (1862dc3, f16 V→q8_0 V) left the KV test asserting the old unquantized contract — its commit message even claimed the seam was 'already retargeted in 8f53df7' when 8f53df7 covered only payload paths. Symptom each time: full ./tests/run.sh red in frank_small_unit.bats only ('missing /tmp/.../mmproj-...' or argv-value mismatch). Fix = grep the env for the new values and update all three spots. _(context: 2026-10-05 goal session (frankbook e2e split) blocked twice by frank-small seam staleness from concurrent sessions; fixed via 8f53df7-equivalent edits and 5573ca1.)_

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).

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.	2026-10-19 01:21:34 -07:00

Frank	dd8f3974c1	feat(dankvoice): /say options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23 ) 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.	2026-10-19 00:31:40 -07:00

Frank	765b686859	feat(dankvoice): speak the cloned voices in the TUI (Refs #21 ) Every speak-aloud path in the harness gates `--voice` against the bundled Kokoro enum, so the frank-tts cloned voices could only ever produce files. `agent/extensions/` auto-loads, so one tracked extension adds the missing transport: `/say <text>`, `/say on\|off` (narrate the final answer at `agent_end`, silent when the harness schedules a continuation), `/say voice\|voices\|stop\|status` — OpenAI speech POST plus playback through pw-play/paplay/ffplay. The endpoint and served id come from the `api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml`, so the file carries no host and no secret; markdown is stripped, over-long utterances are cut at a sentence bound, and the temp WAV dir is always removed. Verified live in a real TUI session on the workstation (roster narrator1/narrator2/narrator3; 2.08 s and 1.44 s WAVs played; auto-speak spoke each finished answer, 1.20 s WAV; unknown voice answers with the roster). Black-box seam `tests/dankvoice.bats` (12 tests) drives the extension against a fixture speech endpoint and a stub player. cwd: /home/blank/.omp/wt/feat-21-dankvoice session: wt-20261017-181502-6d1fc1f	2026-10-18 20:00:52 -07:00

Frank	08f90c6df3	chore(skills): move upstream skills to the CLI global store, keep authored tier Retroactive provenance: the 10 pi-era skill snapshots were byte-identical to upstream. Canonical installs now live in ~/.agents/skills tracked by ~/.agents/.skill-lock.json (mattpocock/skills x38 after grilling removal, find-skills from vercel-labs/skills). Repo tier is authored overrides only: clear all 10 tracked upstream snapshots; omp loads the store directly through the agents provider (skills.enableAgentsUser, default on). grilling returns as a real directory — extracted from the store (CLI + lockfile pruned) so Frank can customize it without skills update resurrecting a twin.
