frank-secondary: record the deployed boot, keep the unit description honest

Deploy verified: nvidia-smi 21,436 MiB used / 2,689 free at ubatch 2048 -
the MiMo-priced projection (~21,430/~2,700) landed within 11 MiB, and the
verbosity-4 ledger confirms the KV law to the MiB (CUDA0 KV buffer
12,544.00 MiB = K(f16) 6,272 + V(f16) 6,272 = 32 KiB/token over the
401,408 pool), compute buffers 1,136 MiB CUDA0 + 848 MiB host, mmproj
879 + 248 MiB. Playwright gate: 33 passed.

Two lessons recorded: the 203/EXEC boot loop my shebang-less rewrite
caused (journal signature + the head -1 check), and that llama.cpp's
"n_ctx_seq < n_ctx_train" line is informational when the context is BELOW
the trained window - the Gemma4 drafter warning was the opposite case.

The unit's Description named the Swift-1.5 era (and said 2x131072/q8_0/
draft-mtp); it now names the Q6_K shape. Cosmetic, so it is NOT deployed
as its own restart: the next frank-secondary deploy relinks it.

`nvidia-smi`: **21,436 MiB used / 2,689 MiB free** — the MiMo-priced
projection (~21,430 / ~2,700) was within 11 MiB. Engine ledger

|`llama_kv_cache`|`CUDA0 KV buffer size = 12544.00 MiB` — `size = 12544.00 MiB (200704 cells, 8 layers, 2/2 seqs), K (f16): 6272.00 MiB, V (f16): 6272.00 MiB`|

The `32 KiB/token` law is confirmed exactly: 401,408 × 32 KiB = 12,544 MiB,
which is what the engine printed. The `n_ctx_seq (200704) < n_ctx_train
(262144)` line is informational (a context **below** the trained window is
safe; the Gemma4 era's warning was the opposite case, a drafter running 53 %
**past** its window). Weights load in ~6 s from page cache; `/health` answers
`{"status":"ok"}` and `/v1/models` serves the alias `frank-secondary`.
The deploy's Playwright gate passed (33 tests) and the fleet e2e set is
unchanged.
## Client contract

**`status=203/EXEC` boot loop**: the rewrite of `serve-frank-secondary.sh`
shipped without its `#!/usr/bin/env bash` line, and systemd failed the
`ExecStart` before the script ran — 10 s restarts, `Mem peak: 1.9M`, and
`nvidia-smi` flat at 1 MiB used (the GPU is never touched). Journal signature:
`Failed at step EXEC spawning /home/dank/…/serve-frank-secondary.sh`. A
shebang is not decoration on this host: every LLM serve script is a direct
`ExecStart`, so `head -1` is part of the deploy check (commit `ec6184d`).
