frank-zealot shipped Restart=on-failure while its two siblings shipped
always. exit 0 is a CLEAN stop to systemd: on-failure leaves the endpoint
dark and the unit GREEN until the next boot — and frank-zealot is the
compaction hub for all three endpoints, so its quiet death degrades every
conversation in the fleet.
tests/llm_units.bats gains the fleet parity seam (Restart=always,
RestartSec 1..20, WantedBy=multi-user.target across scripts/frank-*.service);
the per-unit seams drop their weaker Restart greps so the policy lives in
one place. Runbook unit line updated.
frank-dragoon's health gate never checked WHO answered :7770 — the
false-green the fleet learned about on 2026-09-26 (a stray probe holding
the port satisfies a bare curl while the unit is stopped). The other two
handlers carried that check as inlined copies; all three now call
assert_unit_owns_port, and dragoon gets the protection it was missing.
The seam follows: the endpoints' text-grep deployer tests are deleted,
because tests/llm_deploy_gates.bats EXECUTES the same handlers end to end
(stub systemctl/podman/sudo/ss/curl) and asserts refusals, restarts, unit
links, the pending marker, and the MainPID hardening. GATE_PREFIX is
exported at each handler for the same reason the serve scripts export it.
The three -e gates (runtime, GGUF, mmproj) are require_file calls: the refusal
now names the artifact class, the exact path and the script that produces it.
The seam asserts that observable triple instead of the old sentence order.
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.
