docs(frank-large): unsloth Qwen3.8-Flash-Next runbook; retire the CIRU Orca runbook

New runbook frank-large-unsloth-qwen38-flash-next.md (runtime, payload,
deployed config, the explicit -md, the 114 GiB GTT memory model, client
contract, rollback). frank-large-ciru-orca.md marked RETIRED (rollback
target, payload and runtime intact on disk). AGENTS.md topology row,
frank-large section, harness note, runbook index, and the GPU-budget
lesson (GTT aperture ~114 GiB, not the stale 64 GiB rocm-smi figure —
the CIRU Orca held 92.6 GiB on the same device). LLM index header,
mermaid, active list, and the vault root index updated. Work-log entry.

+The unsloth llama.cpp prebuilt `app-b11030-mix-5ff778e` (ROCm gfx1151,
+`/home/dank/GitPackages/unsloth-llama-b11030/`, bundles its own ROCm runtime —
+no host SDK gate, no venv) as a **root systemd unit** (`scripts/

+`unsloth/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GGUF:UD-IQ4_XS` (87.3 GiB main GGUF, three HF
+split parts concatenated, + a 2.6 GiB MTP head, all sha256-verified) on port

-The runtime is a **private host build** (`/home/dank/GitPackages/ciru-runtime-
-v4.4.1-qsa-hotfix/`), not a container image: a gfx1151 HIP build of the CIRU
-llama.cpp fork with its own bundled ROCm SDK in a venv (`.venv-rocm/`), and the
-binary resolves the SDK libs via RUNPATH. The launcher (`scripts/ciru/
-run-orca-server.sh` → `run-server.sh`) has a **runtime gate**: it exits 2 unless
-`${repo_root}/runtime/hip/lib/libamdhip64.so` and `runtime/rocr/lib/
-libhsa-runtime64.so` exist. The serve script (`scripts/serve-frank-large.sh`)
-satisfies that gate idempotently by `ln -sfn`-ing both to the venv's unversioned
-devel symlinks, then `exec`s the launcher with `--chat-template-kwargs
-'{"preserve_thinking":true}'` (Qwen3.8's template needs this to carry thinking
-blocks across turns; a request-level value still wins).
+The runtime is the first with an MTP graph for the qwen4exp architecture
+(stock ggml-org mainline has none), so the unsloth prebuilt is the
+llama.cpp-compatible choice. The MTP head is loaded via an **explicit
+`-md`**: sidecar auto-discovery does not search the `mtp/` subfolder, and
+without it `--spec-type draft-mtp` silently runs at the main model's speed.
+The serve script (`scripts/serve-frank-large.sh`) validates binary → main
+GGUF → MTP head and exits with a pointer message if any is missing, then
+`exec`s `llama-server` with `--jinja --alias frank-large --chat-template-
+kwargs '{"preserve_thinking":true}'` (Qwen3.8's template needs this to
+carry thinking blocks across turns; a request-level value still wins).
 
-The serve script validates launcher → built binary → venv runtime → main GGUF →
-MTP head → PLE payload + manifest + scale, and exits with a pointer message if
-any is missing. `PLE_CACHE_MIB=4096` is the vendor production-profile default;
-the 52.4 GiB PLE is mmap'd and paged, not resident.
+The iGPU addresses **114 GiB** (the GTT aperture over the shared LPDDR,
+`gtt_total` in `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/`; `rocm-smi`'s 2 GiB "dedicated"
+is not the budget). The 87.3 GiB model is mmap'd in with `-ngl 999`; budget
+at 200k ≈ 100 GiB (weights + MTP head + KV + buffers), leaving ~14 GiB of
+aperture headroom. The n-gram embedding (PLE) is inside the GGUF — no
+external PLE payload or pager, unlike the CIRU Orca packaging.
