The 2026-10-09 wire aliases become the service names everywhere:
systemd units, serve scripts, env files and FRANK_* variables,
deploy-plan/deploy-remote service keys, container names, Prometheus
job names + alert rules, Grafana dashboard queries, bats seams,
runbook filenames, homepage/AGENTS lore, and historical prose.
Rollback tags renamed in lockstep. Residue in the tree: zero.
Retired frank-medium/small/npu names are history and stay.
Known casualty: scripts/patches/*.patch context lines were rewritten;
those retired-era vLLM-fork patches no longer apply byte-exact.
MNBT 65536 / seqs 8: MOE-W4.md:244 measures 640 tok/s at a 32k step
vs 930 at 55k — the KLD record's own rate confirmed step size drives
disk-tier prefill. 131k resident tokens fits the 3072 pool (~237k
tokens/rank at fp8). Cuts the 10M-token calibration from ~4.3 h to
~3 h.
kld died: 'cannot read --kld-corpus /data/kld.jsonl' — KLD_MOUNT was
referenced but never defined, so the corpus/ref-dir mounts silently
expanded to nothing. Add them (nested order: after the /data mount).
feat(convert-swift15-w4dn8): final recipe convert on 1.0.13
Convert with the SERVING pin so the .rad crosses no version boundary;
only the Gram files cross (RADGRAM2 magic, gram.r%d.%s.bin naming and
calib_gram/calib_resolve/calib_stem are byte-identical between the
1.0.13 and 1.2.0 libquant). Host-backend run: prod can stay up.
Gates: grams present (>=48), bf16 container deleted, disk floor,
rad-info gptq receipt, size floor 126000 MiB.
The weights slab derives as card - headroom - kv, and the disk tier
refuses under 9.57 GiB (4.21 layer buffers + 5.36 fixed). 4608 starved
it (8.68 budget, DID NOT FIT). 3072 leaves 10.2 for weights; 4x16k fp8
slots fit the pool, recording is prefill-bound so slot count only
queues pushes.
kld stays on 1.0.13 (record on the scoring engine) with --vram-kv-mib
4608 + 16 slots: the ratio-derived pool came up SHORT by 217 MiB at
32x16k. calib moves to 1.2.0: the RADIANCE_CALIB_TOKENS tap is a 1.2.0
qwen4exp plugin feature (1.0.13 plugin has the DIR half only), and
Grams are bf16 activations - engine-invariant. --vram-kv-mib 9984
covers 64x16k fp8 slots.
