chore: remove stale root-level duplicates of scripts/ files
...
- validate-vllm.sh (root) superseded by scripts/validate-vllm.sh
- vllm-qwen36.sh superseded by scripts/serve-vllm-qwen36-dflash.sh

docs: polish pass — fix stale names, duplicates, branding, and README
...
- Normalize 'VLLM' to 'vLLM' in prose across 6 docs (32 occurrences; wikilink
targets untouched)
- Remove duplicated Environment Variables block in 27B Dankclaw doc
- Update stale model refs Qwen3-30B-A3B -> Qwen3.6-35B-A3B in example commands
- Fix VLLM Index: -- separators to em-dashes; correct model names on links
- README: document active services (ROCmFPX llama-server on Dankclaw, vLLM
AWQ on Dankserver), replace broken [[docs/README.md]] link with docs/index.md

docs: add DFlash/DSpark speculative decoding research + quantization-by-hardware guide
...
- DFlash DSpark Speculative Decoding.md: verified method details (DFlash
block diffusion from Z Lab arXiv:2602.06036; DSpark semi-autoregressive from
DeepSeek arXiv:2607.05147), runtime support matrix (vLLM/llama.cpp/SGLang),
exact vLLM --speculative-config recipes (incl. dflash/dspark), llama.cpp
--spec-type recipes with sidecar auto-discovery, draft model table
(z-lab Qwen3.6-27B-DFlash 2B, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-DFlash 0.4B), deployment
guidance for RTX 3090 (AWQ+Dflash) and Strix Halo (ROCmFPX MTP), measured
45-50 t/s MTP decode on Strix Halo
- Quantization by Hardware Architecture.md: FP8/INT8/INT4/GPTQ/AWQ/GGUF/FP4/
ROCmFP4 support per NVIDIA (Turing/Ampere/Ada/Hopper/Blackwell), AMD
(CDNA MI250/MI300/MI350, RDNA 3/3.5/4), and CPU; recommended picks per
Dankserver (AWQ/GPTQ 4-bit) and Dankclaw (ROCmFP4/Q4_K_M)
- index.md: link both new pages under Speculative Decoding & Quantization

feat: add consistent deployment/update process (deploy.sh + docs + AGENTS.md)
...
- scripts/deploy.sh: target-aware deploy (dankclaw/dankserver). Pushes main,
pulls on the target, installs/enables systemd unit, restarts service, and
checks the health endpoint; --dry-run preview; pre-flight dirty-tree check
- docs/deployment.md: full deployment/update process with mermaid workflow,
target map, manual update commands, service units, and troubleshooting
- AGENTS.md: add Deployment & Update Process section (deploy.sh usage, target
map, mermaid workflow) and a Summary table row
- docs/index.md: crosslink deployment doc

docs: fact-check knowledge base against live machines and vLLM source
...
Correct stale and incorrect facts after exhaustive verification:
- Dankclaw: NUMA node 0 = 31213 MB; disk 661G/1.1T/38%; vLLM 0.26.0 in
/home/dank/vllm-rocm-venv (not vllm-env); clarify 96 GiB GPU-visible is a
driver overcommit ceiling over 30 GiB physical (confirmed via sysfs
mem_info_vram_total=103079215104)
- Dankserver: disk 729G/140G free/84%; /mnt/entropy 910G free; active service
is vLLM EngineCore (22 GB), not llama-server; CPU model Ryzen 7 7700X
- index.md: Dankclaw 30GiB phys / 96GiB GPU-visible (was '61 GB unified');
add deployment topology mermaid diagram
- vLLM defaults (from source): gpu_memory_utilization=0.92, max_num_seqs=128,
swap_space removed (now --kv-offloading-size) across Overview/Index/RAM/Hybrid
- Quantization: FP8 not native on Ampere (RTX 3090) or RDNA 3.5 (gfx1151);
add per-model hardware quantization notes; AWQ/GPTQ limited on ROCm
- Speculative decoding: add DFlash, DSpark, MTP, EAGLE3 to feature list
- Confirm Qwen3.6-27B and Qwen3.6-35B-A3B specs are correct (HF-verified)
- Production note: Dankclaw primary llama.cpp service runs ROCmFPX
Ling-3.0-flash RocmFP4 MTP, not vLLM Qwen3.6-27B

sync scripts from remotes: ROCmFPX llama-server.service (dankclaw), dankserver vLLM serve/validate; drop failed-attempt scripts
...
- llama-server.service: dankclaw migrated to ROCmFPX runtime (Ling-3.0-flash,
draft-mtp, no-mmap/direct-io) from regular llama.cpp Qwen3.6-27B-DFlash
- serve-vllm-qwen36-dflash.sh: dankserver version (relies on image 'vllm serve'
entrypoint; HF cache mounted read-write)
- validate-vllm.sh: dankserver multi-stream vLLM validation (4 unique prompts,
1-4 streams, prompt+completion speed)
- remove superseded scripts: serve-llamacpp-dflash.sh, validate.sh,
vllm-awq-qwen36-dflash-ampere.sh, vllm-qwen36.service

Fix parallel validation, remove ngram-mod
...
- Rewrite validation script with temp files for true parallel curl requests
- Both prompts now complete 1024 tokens each (was cutting first short)
- Remove ngram-mod from spec pipeline (was -1.2 tok/s regression)
