docs(frank-archon): the ttm reset outage, and the 4 x 200,000 fp8 shape

Runbook gains the 2026-10-13 section (symptom signature, the runtime-knob law,
the shape arithmetic, the boot ledger that confirms it: 843,276 tokens =
4 x 200,000, 12 all-reduce rows, 5.87 GiB of KV lent to the slab). AGENTS.md
gains the fleet-row update, the KV dtype law at four slots, the sysfs-raise
lesson under Key Lessons, and the pinned-RAM paragraph now points at
scripts/ttm-preflight.sh as the repair. LLM index entry + topology node match.

- [[frank-archon-radiance-swift15-w4dn8]] — **ACTIVE since 2026-10-08**:
Swift1.5 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next BF16 → GPTQ-calibrated W4Dn8 `.rad` on radiance
1.0.13 (recipe + 10M-token calibration + KLD gate vs the BF16 container);
the FP8-native payload remains the rollback. **2026-10-11: the KV cache is
UNQUANTIZED (bf16) at 2 x 200,000** — pool 3543 → 6912 MiB (386,904 →
462,752 tokens), weights slab 26071 → 22208, host pool 44928,
`--max-num-seqs 2`. bf16 costs 1.89x fp8 per token (the QSA block key is
dtype-fixed, so it is not a clean 2x); measured price is prefill (-29%),
NOT decode, and spec-decode acceptance rose 0.661 → 0.740.
the FP8-native payload remains the rollback. **2026-10-13: 4 x 200,000 with
fp8 KV** — `--max-num-seqs 4` + `--kv-cache-dtype fp8` in the same 6912 MiB
pool (843,566 tokens), slab 22208 and host pool 44928 untouched. fp8 is what
funds the fourth slot: the pool must back seqs x window, and at bf16 four
slots cost 11,679 MiB, which would cut the resident slab to 17,441 (-33 %).
The bf16 arm (2 x 200,000, 462,752 tokens, prefill -29 %, acceptance
0.661 → 0.740) is the documented rollback. **2026-10-13 also: the pinned-ledger
preflight now raises `ttm.pages_limit` itself** — the 2026-10-12 power failure
reset the knob to its default (125,988 MiB) and the endpoint refused to boot
6,919 times in ~20 h; `scripts/ttm-preflight.sh` is the repair.
