- scripts: serve-pp-head/worker, envs, systemd units, pp-test.sh orchestrator, pp-bench.py
- head design verified in b10433 source + live 4B smoke test:
* no --device with --rpc (RPC device silently dropped otherwise)
* default device selection = [RPC0, ROCm0] (HIP registers before Vulkan)
* default split proportional to reported free mem = ~20/80 here, pin 1,1
* -dio required for large model over RPC
- docs: qwen3.8-strix-optimizations (ranked no-quant-downgrade levers,
quant landscape, 2026-08-16 test matrix), PP deployment runbook,
index updates, Dankclaw Improvements corrections (Vulkan0, no power_profile sysfs)
- worker built at 9b05354ec in /home/dank/llama-cpp-rpc worktree (CUDA+RPC)
- second head build build-vulkan-rpc (HIP off) for backend A/B
