+## 2026-10-15 — frank-archon: publisher iq4r payload swap (MODEL_FILE-only)
+
+- Ask: replace the served model with
+  `StillDeadcode/qwen3.8-next-flash-fp8-iq4r-moe` — the engine author's
+  published rad-convert of the OFFICIAL Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (w4nl codebook
+  experts, ten bf16-protected/layer, int8 trunk, PLE/MTP/vision in-container,
+  card KL 0.0789 / top-1 92.85 %) — **no other argument changes**, mindful
+  the operator session runs on the endpoint being swapped.
+- Disk: Frank authorized one `rm` — the spent Swift1.5 BF16 source (336 GiB)
+  and the two-era-old `qwen4exp-fp8-native.rad` (173 GiB) left
+  `/home/dank/models`; 150 GB → 658 GB free. fp8-native is now rebuild-only
+  (fetch + build scripts); rollback for THIS swap is the w4dn8 `.rad`
+  (on disk) by reverting the commit.
+- Fetch: new `scripts/download-frank-archon-iq4r.sh` (hfget, exact bytes
+  121,969,901,568 + Hub LFS sha256, `--verify-only` default) as transient
+  unit `iq4r-fetch`; verified, staged sidecar files kept as provenance.
+- Shape carried VERBATIM (25600/5120 pair, 44928 pool, fp8 KV 3 × 200,000,
+  MTP 2, wht6, MNBT 2048, froggeric v22.5). Tests re-keyed
+  (`frank_archon_unit.bats` pins the new payload id + sha256, keeps the
+  w4dn8 rollback provenance), homepage card + trio lore + both indexes
+  updated; new runbook [[frank-archon-radiance-qwen38-iq4r]]. Commits
+  `6dcf4a5` (swap) + `f44c398` + `c5ac072` (docs), full bats green.
+- Cutover self-severed by design (detached `deploy.sh` survived the session
+  death when frank-archon restarted); engine healthy in ~100 s. First-boot
+  ledger: w4nl loads on pin 1.0.13 (no pin bump); kv_attn 26.00 KiB fp8 @
+  607,740 tokens (identical geometry); slab 17,610/17,658 slots per rank
+  (> w4dn8's 17,548 — fewer bf16-protected experts pack more 4-bit table);
+  sampler 9 rows; MTP 2/step; prefix tier RECOVERED 900,176 blocks across
+  the swap (arch+tokenizer unchanged). Vision probe green (reasoning read
+  the solid-red PNG; the 64-token budget went all to thinking — fleet law).
+- e2e gate went red on three dankclaw specs — NOT the swap: dankclaw rebooted
+  01:41 and the gluetun boot-race dependency-failed `searxng`, `marreta`,
+  and `marreta-browser` (jobs consumed while gluetun's start job retried;
+  `Restart=always` never armed because the services never ran). Cascade
+  restarted; skill codified (`gluetun-dependent-boot-race-recovery`).
+  Gate rerunning against the repaired fleet; frank-archon's own health gate
+  passed every deploy. Open: decode/prefill ladders vs the w4dn8 record,
+  probe leg D — scheduled probe window.
