Frank d4ce76b68b refact(comments): state the mechanism, not the incident
Every comment that invoked a 'law' (50 word-boundary sites across 28
tracked files) now states what is going on and why, in terms that
transfer to any project: gate twins drift until one side greenlights
what the other refuses; a tag re-points while a digest pins; a
restrictive engine behavior belongs to the runtime that imposed it and
must be re-tested, not inherited; a speculative head is tensors in the
file, not a flag; snapshot links dangle where the container resolves
them; exit 0 is a clean stop to systemd, so a self-exiting daemon on
on-failure goes dark reporting success. Event narratives and dates are
gone from these comments; the mechanics carry the argument.

Behavior-identical: bash -n, py_compile, yaml parse, full bats suite
408/408 green. One symbol rename rides along (stack script local
scale_law -> scale_contract, with its log text).

Frank 65bd5ccea7 feat(rank6): node-exporter renders from a template; guard chain is one snippet
- service-map render node-exporter-unit --host H: the MIRROR pair comment
  ('keep this file in step') becomes a template. Per-host title, LAN
  address from the hosts map, port from the node-<host> scrape job. Both
  tracked quadlets are now rendered artifacts; check_drift gates them.
- dankclaw/Caddyfile: the nine verbatim Anubis pre-auth chains
  (reverse_proxy anubis:8923 + X-Real-Ip) collapse into the (guarded)
  named snippet; guarded vhosts are 'import guarded'. Validated with real
  caddy 2.11.7 (import resolution clean; the stock image stops at the
  porkbun module and the git basicauth placeholder, as designed).
- vhost-scoped guard greps (authentik, homepage_caddy, marreta_quadlet)
  now pin 'import guarded' in the vhost block.
- Service Inventory + Authentik docs carry the new laws.

Frank 5976ad0550 refact(docs): compose-era sweeps retire with the last compose file
rank 7 tail. dankserver/compose.yaml (a parallel inventory whose mounts
had diverged from the quadlets) and its .env.example live in
dankserver/.AGENTTRASH/20261013-compose-retire/; the retired ik chat
template joined scripts/.AGENTTRASH/. No target has a compose file now:
- service-map drops the compose selection rule, compose file claim, and
  check_compose (the check list is schema/units/ownership/config/drift);
- deploy-remote's compose fallback is a loud failure, not a WARN-and-
  nothing for dankserver;
- compose_validity.bats goes to tests/.AGENTTRASH (it was sweeping only
  the trash file); env_consistency sheds its two compose sweeps;
- docs_completeness's compose sweep skips .AGENTTRASH so retired
  services cannot resurrect, and a revived compose stays covered;
- Testing Policy drops the Compose validity row.

Frank 5ae6b7b928 refact(deploy-remote): shared root-unit start, config copy, retire helpers
rank 5. The three LLM handlers duplicated the same tail (relink,
daemon-reload, enable, restart, /health gate, MainPID port proof) ->
start_root_unit SERVICE PORT LIMIT; frank-archon's bespoke 900-iteration
loop was exactly wait_for_health at limit 900. copy_config DEST SRC...
replaces five hand-rolled mkdir+cp pairs (loki, alloy, grafana x2);
retire_unit_file PATH TRASH [UNIT] replaces the duplicated compose-era
unit retirements (halogen dragoon quadlet, comfyui.service). The health
grep seam now pins the per-endpoint call (start_root_unit frank-dragoon
7770).

Frank cc0bc06288 fix(pihole): addn-hosts renders no inline comments
dnsmasq strips ONLY whole-line comments in addn-hosts: a trailing
'# service' on a data line becomes a hostname token. The inventory's
Pi-hole renderer now emits pure IP-name lines (attribution lives in the
inventory) and the tracked file is re-rendered to match; pihole.bats
line-validity seams are green on the rendered artifact.

Frank bdead570e2 feat(inventory): one service inventory drives planner, allow-lists, and seams
rank 3. shared/services.yml is the single source of truth for every
deployable service (hosts, unit dirs, units, path claims, tests, scrape/
dns/probe facts, aliases, stacks); scripts/service-map.py is its only
reader (hosts/services/allows/plan/seams/owner/units/stack/get/render/
check). deploy-plan.py becomes a thin CLI wrapper; both --service
allow-lists (deploy.sh, deploy-remote.sh) and the changed-test mapper are
the inventory. Selection semantics: host scoping (a host's tree selects
only its own services), the quadlet netns/network coupling graph resolved
across directories (gluetun's riders live in their own dirs), stacks, and
canonical restart order.

Against the pinned old-planner fixture: 921 raw deltas reduced to 17, all
intentional (anubis now maps; cross-host paths select nothing; the retired
qwen-sharp template plans nothing and the live froggeric template plans
frank-archon; dankserver/romm/romm.container, missed by the old filename
rule, plans the romm trio). The fixture is regenerated as the new pin.

Integrity gates: schema, unit claims, quadlet-file ownership, path-glob
liveness, Pi-hole hosts / Prometheus jobs / DNS / homepage probes drift.
tests/service_inventory.bats pins all of it plus the plan fixture and the
deploy-plan CLI. Allow-list grep seams in hermes_webui/observability_quadlet
become behavioral allows calls.

Frank 156ea71879 fix(fleet): every LLM root unit restarts on a voluntary exit; parity seam gates it
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 ab80c1366d refact(deployer): one MainPID gate for all three LLM endpoints
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.
2026-10-13 22:02:48 -07:00
Frank c5a816e6a8 refact(deployer): the LLM handlers gate through the shared library
deploy_llm_dragoon/zealot/arkon now call require_image / require_bytes /
require_min_mib / require_file / require_dir_files, so the deployer and the
serve scripts refuse the same missing payload with the same words — the
2026-10-01 crash-loop law, enforced by construction instead of by duplicated
shell. require_exec joins the library for the native-runtime gate (a
compiled tree that lost its +x refuses like a missing one). relink_unit
takes SYSTEMD_SYSTEM_DIR so a handler can be driven end to end in a sandbox.

The library's own refusals now carry their status: a bash function that
ends inside an if returns the CONDITION's status, so a gate whose last
statement is its refusal printed the message and returned SUCCESS — the
new seam caught it, and the gate tests pin it.

New seam tests/llm_deploy_gates.bash + tests/stubs/: deploy-remote.sh's LLM
handlers EXECUTED against stub systemctl/podman/sudo/ss/curl, asserting
exit status, refusal text, no restart, and the pending state marker.

Frank cb25796a6b refact(frank-archon): serve gates run on the shared library; the serve seam is behavioural
The image/.rad/template gates are require_image/require_min_mib/require_file,
and the gates an operator can only reach on the host (GPU nodes, the ttm pages
cap, the run line) are now drivable: FRANK_ARCHON_DEV_KFD, FRANK_ARCHON_DEV_DRI,
FRANK_ARCHON_TTM_SYSFS and FRANK_ARCHON_LOG default to the production paths.
Seven new seam tests EXECUTE the serve script against fixtures (stub podman,
stub nodes, stub sysfs, temp payload) and assert exit status, the refusal
words and the engine argv. The old text-grep gate test is deleted: it pinned
the words of the source, not the behaviour.

Frank f31e7c5ed8 refact(frank-zealot): serve gates run on the shared gate library
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.
2026-10-13 21:41:18 -07:00
Frank 028afdeb58 refact(frank-dragoon): serve gates run on the shared gate library
The hand-written image/ck/tokenizer gates are require_image, require_bytes and
require_dir_files from scripts/lib/llm-gates.sh. The serve seam is unchanged
and still green (its podman stub now models `podman image exists`, the
primitive the gate uses). Behaviour preserved: every refusal names the
artifact, the endpoint and the fetch script.
2026-10-13 21:40:02 -07:00
Frank acf2a5cee5 feat(scripts): one artifact-gate library for the LLM endpoints
The serve scripts and the deployer each hand-wrote the same missing/truncated
artifact gates; the 2026-10-01 crash-loop was those twins disagreeing
mid-cutover. scripts/lib/llm-gates.sh is the single place the refusal lives:
require_file / require_bytes / require_min_mib / require_dir_files /
require_image, each returning 1 and naming the endpoint, the artifact and the
remedy. New seam tests/llm_gates.bats pins the contract at the arguments-in /
status-and-stderr-out boundary.

so the seam pins both paths. layers bill a fixed recurrent state per SLOT, not per token, which is exactly
why two 200k slots fit where the 26B MoE fit one.
**Architecture: qwen35 hybrid** — read from the GGUF's own header: `block_count` **The shape (2026-10-07):** `--ctx-size 401408 --parallel 2` = TWO
**33 = 32 trunk layers + the `blk.32` MTP block** (the MTP block has its own conversations of 200,704 (Frank's cap; the harness `contextWindow` quotes
attention + FFN in q8_0, which is why the draft context bills real KV), and the per-slot number), `--flash-attn on`, **f16 K + f16 V** (exact KV),

so **q8_0 K + q8_0 V bills 17,408 B/token ≈ 17 KiB** = **13,056.00 MiB** at the
786,432 pool (ledger-exact) — exactly HALF the 27B's 34,816 B/token, which is
the whole reason three native windows fit where the 27B afforded only two
shortened ones. **f16 K would bill 26,112 MiB and cannot boot on a 24,123 MiB
card.** The 24 DeltaNet layers bill a fixed recurrent state per SLOT — the
production ledger prints `RS buffer size = 150.75 MiB (3 cells, 32 layers,
3 seqs)`, while the SPEC-ARMED arms print 452.25 MiB (MTP depth 2 bills three
seqs per slot, so 9 cells) — so pool arithmetic alone under-prices the shape.
**The shape (2026-10-18):** `--ctx-size 786432 --parallel 3` = THREE **Why MTP is off**: it is not a choice — **this Q6_K file carries no

(37.7 t/s class) — never report it.

bills its OWN **f16** KV over the WHOLE pool (4,096 B/position × 786,432 = ubatch 1024, **21,846 / 2,279** at 2048), so the 415 MiB lighter weights

`V (f16): 6272.00`), compute buffers 1,136 MiB on CUDA0 + 848 MiB host, the
mmproj 879 MiB + 248 MiB. Decode is ubatch-invariant (Swift-era 3090 law). The
Q6_K rung costs ~10 % decode vs Q5_K_M (weight bandwidth; MiMo-measured 94.4
vs 104.8 t/s).

**MTP is worth +28 % decode whenever the card has room**; the squeeze, not the
drafter, is what halves it at three windows. The arm that WOULD run it at three
windows is `SPEC_TYPE=draft-mtp` + `UBATCH_SIZE=1024` (213.5 t/s single-stream,
250.8 three-stream aggregate) and pays prefill −17 % and 2.7 GiB of headroom on
a card whose projector worst-case lands AFTER the engine's own fit check. This
endpoint is the fleet's compaction hub — prefill-bound, 2–3 concurrent
subagents — so the shipped arm takes the +17 % prefill (2,877 vs 2,395 t/s) and
the +12 % three-stream aggregate (280.2 vs 250.8) over single-stream speed, and
keeps 6.2 GiB free. `SPEC_TYPE=none` strips the WHOLE spec set (`--spec-type`
and every `--spec-draft-*`) — flags move as a set or the arm measures a crash
instead of an absence.
**Sampler**: the recipe lives in the checkpoint (`general.sampling.*` =
temperature 1.0 / top_p 0.95 / top_k 20 / min_p 0 / repeat_penalty 1.0,
confirmed in the engine's own `/props`) and llama.cpp reads it itself.
**Presence penalty is the one recipe value with no GGUF metadata key**, so
`PRESENCE_PENALTY=1.0` must reach the argv; `""` is the documented opt-out, and
the serve script therefore uses `${PRESENCE_PENALTY=1.0}` (NOT `:=`, which
would silently re-add the flag on an explicit empty value).
**Vision**: the publisher's own **Q8_0** mmproj via `--mmproj` — Q8_0 is
MANDATORY, not a preference: the card says the BF16 tower "can crash
llama-server when several image requests run at once", and `--parallel 3` is
exactly that shape. Probe traps carry over: ≥256 px probe images or the model
answers "video", only the OpenAI `image_url` content part reaches the model,
and thinking tokens count against `max_tokens` — budget ≥512 or the probe
returns EMPTY `content` with `finish_reason: "length"` and the endpoint looks
blind while it is only mid-thought.
**Base alignment**: Bonsai-2 is the censored BASE lineage. Unlike the 27B, the
CRACK re-export on disk (`/home/dank/models/Bonsai2-CRACK/`) is byte-identical
geometry to the 27B it matched, NOT to this 9B file — if a refusal ever
surfaces there is no one-line `MODEL_FILE` swap; a 9B dealigned export would
have to be fetched first.
**Compaction hub**: `models.yml` routes `compactionModel` for **Compaction hub**: `models.yml` routes `compactionModel` for
`frank-archon`, `frank-dragoon` and `frank-zealot` (the 3090 endpoint) here — `frank-archon`, `frank-dragoon` and `frank-zealot` (the 3090 endpoint) here — 200,704 is the

**Contract law learned at verbosity 4:** a raw `/completion` request prints
`failed to parse reasoning content (… parse_reasoning=true)` whenever the
model closes a bare prompt with `` — cosmetic
(`probe_request.cpp:789`); the `/v1/chat/completions` path parses
`reasoning_content` correctly, which is the only path consumers use. Do not
lower `VERBOSITY` to silence it: the KV/buffer ledger is what VRAM forensics
read. `--metrics` is required or the Prometheus scrape reads 501 = DOWN.

host pool, so decode ran 122–173 t/s in the campaign arms and ~190 t/s

measured the int8-KV + spec-3 arm (136.0 t/s median at 44.5k depth,

- **A draft context bills its own f16 KV over the WHOLE POOL, and on a
single-card endpoint that squeeze can cost more than the drafter wins.** The
draft context is built at the target's `n_ctx`, so with `--parallel N` the
drafter pays the POOL, not the slot: on frank-zealot's 786,432-position
qwen35 pool, `--spec-type draft-mtp` added **3,072.00 MiB of f16 draft KV**
(4,096 B/position — the draft cache is never quantized) plus its own compute
buffers, 4,830 MiB all told. Booted arms, same card, same traffic

109.2 with spec ON**; dropping `UBATCH_SIZE` to 1024 hands the buffers back
and spec ON gives **213.5** (+28 % over the spec-OFF arm), and at 1–2 slots
the SAME card runs MTP at ubatch 2048 and still gains ~28 %. So the MTP
question is never "does the file carry the head" — it is "what do draft KV
+ buffers cost against whatever the batch knobs keep for compute buffers",
and that answer is per-shape. Measure the arm, never the flag. See

- **The vision projector is NOT billed in llama.cpp's own fit check.** The
engine prints `[mtmd] estimated worst-case memory usage of mmproj is
873.10 MiB` and then fits WITHOUT it: frank-zealot's Bonsai-2 boot projected
21,439 MiB and settled at 22,664 (2026-10-17). Price a 3090-class shape from
settled `nvidia-smi` after a real boot, never from
`model + context + compute` — the projector (and any drafter context) lands
after `/health` would already have answered. Same failure class as the
DSpark drafter OOM.
- **The FIRST request after a boot is a warmup artifact.** Measured on
Bonsai-2/3090: 2.6 t/s prefill and 37.7 t/s decode on request #1, then
1,258 t/s prefill and 54.7 t/s (per stream, two concurrent) on the next — a
3× spread on the same shape. Benchmark the second request or later, or the
graph-capture cost reads as a model fault.
- **Thinking tokens count against `max_tokens`, so a short-budget vision probe
reads as blindness.** The Bonsai-2/`image_url` probe at `max_tokens: 64`
returned `content: ""` with `finish_reason: "length"` and half a thought in
`reasoning_content` — the image HAD reached the model (322 prompt tokens vs
42 for the text alone). At 512 tokens the same image answers "Red". Budget
≥512 for any thinking model you probe for vision.
- **Quantized KV is not the only dtype law a fork build can hide.** Vendor
builds carry their own compile options: frank-zealot's PrismML prebuilt
served `--cache-type-v q8_0` under flash attention at the exact 34,816
B/token (the `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS` door), so a build decision must be
proven by the KV buffer line in the boot ledger, not by the build flags you
remember passing.
- **A llama.cpp endpoint is invisible to Prometheus unless `--metrics` is passed.**
Without it the engine answers **501 Not Implemented** on `/metrics`, so the scrape
fails while `/health` answers 200 and `LlmEndpointDown` fires beside a healthy
service — that is how `frank-zealot` sat red across four payload generations
(the oldest retained sample of `up{job="frank-zealot"}`, 2026-10-11, is already
0). halogen serves `/metrics` natively, so the asymmetry reads as "only the 3090
is broken". Diagnose with `lastError` from `/api/v1/targets`, not the alert list,
and note Alertmanager has no persistence: a reboot re-stamps `startsAt` on an
alert that has been firing for weeks.
- **A leftover bench drop-in silently hijacks the next deploy, and no health
gate sees it.** The sanctioned bench-window method — a transient
`Environment=FRANK_<SVC>_ENV_FILE=/tmp/<arm>.env` drop-in, the arm env
`source`ing the repo env and then overriding it — outlives the bench unless
it is retired. On 2026-10-18 a leftover `frank-zealot.service.d/ptq1.conf` —
the arm Frank had ordered at 02:36 and measured from 03:14 — made the cutover
deploy boot a **different model at a different shape** (3 slots of 133,888,
not 3 × 262,144) while `/health` answered 200, `/v1/models` echoed the alias
(a flag, not a fact) and the Playwright gate passed 33/33. After deploying any
recently-benched LLM service: `systemctl show <svc> -p DropInPaths` (must be
empty), then `tr '\0' ' ' </proc/$(pidof llama-server)/cmdline`, then the boot
ledger — and retire drop-ins to `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` +
`daemon-reload`.
- **A bench verdict that never reaches the repo is indistinguishable from a
rogue arm.** Same window: PTQ1_0 served production for 24 minutes with real
numbers (~48 t/s decode, 801 t/s prefill at 141k), but the figures lived only
in `/tmp` env files and journald, so the next agent on the host read the
surviving drop-in as an unfinished experiment and reported a hijack. Write the
measurement into the runbook and the arm script's header in the session that
takes it — `/tmp` and the journal are not records.

# Quadlet unit: open-notebook's SurrealDB (rootless, boot-persistent).
#
# Install path on dankclaw: ~/.config/containers/systemd/open-notebook-surrealdb.container
# Unit name: open-notebook-surrealdb.service (container name: open-notebook-surrealdb)
#
# WHAT IT IS. open-notebook's only datastore: notebooks, notes, sources,
# provider credentials and podcast episodes all live here. The app talks to it
# over the WebSocket RPC on the private bridge (SURREAL_URL in
# scripts/open-notebook.env), which is why the container NAME is part of the
# contract — renaming it breaks the app's database URL, not just this file.
#
# IMAGE. `surrealdb/surrealdb:v2` pinned by manifest-list digest, resolved from
# the registry on 2026-10-18 (that digest is SurrealDB 2.7.0, image built
# 2026-09-23; `v2` itself is a MOVING tag, so the digest — not the tag — is what
# makes this reproducible). Upstream open-notebook's own compose file pins the
# same `v2` tag, and its Dockerfile copies /surreal out of the same image for
# the retired single-container variant, so v2 is the version this app is built
# against. Pull=never + the documented pull step (docs: [[Open Notebook]]):
#
# podman pull docker.io/surrealdb/surrealdb:v2@sha256:e5d7387e3727bbe2f7cd6d869e48cd34777272258572ead37c9656b25f745723
#
# NO PUBLISHED PORT. 8000 is deliberately not published: the app reaches it by
# name on systemd-open-notebook, and a published 8000 would put the RPC with
# the root credentials on every interface (upstream publishes 127.0.0.1:8000
# "purely for local debugging" — a `podman exec` probe is enough here). The
# binary binds 0.0.0.0:8000 INSIDE its own namespace via the image's
# SURREAL_BIND env; without that image default it would bind loopback only and
# the app could never connect, so no --bind flag belongs here.
#
# CREDENTIALS, AND WHY THEY ARE NOT IN THE COMMAND LINE. The `surreal start`
# CLI reads its options from the environment (`--username` is [env:
# SURREAL_USER=], `--password` is [env: SURREAL_PASS=] — verified against the
# pinned image's own `start --help`), so the credentials arrive through the two
# EnvironmentFile lines and the argv stays clean. Passing `--pass` instead —
# what upstream's compose does — would put the database password in
# /proc/<pid>/cmdline, readable by any `ps` on the host. Note the two
# spellings: the DATABASE reads SURREAL_PASS, the APP reads SURREAL_PASSWORD,
# and scripts/open-notebook.env declares both because they must hold the same
# value; the deployer writes that pair when it seeds the host secret file.
#
# NO USER= OVERRIDE. The image runs as uid 65532 (Chainguard glibc-dynamic
# base). With a NAMED volume that works unmodified: podman creates the volume's
# backing directory owned by the container's user (measured with this digest —
# the host directory lands on the mapped subuid and the store starts clean),
# which is exactly why upstream's `user: root` line is not repeated here: that
# line is commented in upstream as being "required for bind mounts", and this
# unit has none. The consequence is that the DB files are NOT readable by dank
# without `podman unshare` — accepted for a datastore nobody edits by hand;
# episode AUDIO is a host directory for the opposite reason (see the app unit).
#
# HEALTH. The base image is distroless: no shell, no curl, no wget, so no
# CMD-SHELL probe and no wget/curl probe is possible here (same class of unit
# as loki, whose probe had to move into the image). SurrealDB ships its own
# probe instead — `surreal is-ready` connects to ws://localhost:8000 by default
# and needs no credentials — verified against this digest: it prints `OK` and
# exits 0 while the server is up. Argument-only HealthCmd, like every unit on
# this host, because the quadlet generator splits it on spaces.

#
# WHAT IT IS. The fleet's podcast generator: notes and sources go in, a
# two-voice (up to four) episode MP3 comes out. One image runs THREE processes
# under supervisord — the FastAPI API on 5055, the background worker that
# writes and speaks the episode, and the Next.js UI on 8502 — so this one unit
# owns the whole app, and the frontend refuses to start until the API answers
# (the image's own wait-for-api.sh). Runbook: [[Open Notebook]].
#
# IMAGE. `lfnovo/open_notebook:v1-latest` pinned by manifest-list digest,
# resolved from the registry on 2026-10-18; it is the tag upstream's own
# docker-compose.yml pins for the multi-container shape. Do NOT reach for the
# `-single` tags: that variant bundles SurrealDB inside the app image, is
# deprecated upstream, and would give this host two databases. Pull=never, so
# the pin is fetched by the documented one-time step (docs: [[Open Notebook]]),
# which the deployer also runs when the image is absent:
#
# podman pull docker.io/lfnovo/open_notebook:v1-latest@sha256:54b2025a4a4853c188f74b9b8246eca8c5480e5dd1babfa92db1038ff2f30212
#
# NETWORKS, in this order on purpose. The generated run line keeps file order,
# so the DEFAULT ROUTE rides dankclaw_default: that is the network where this
# host has measured that a bridge container can reach a host-namespace
# listener through the gateway name (the Prometheus scrape of frank-zealot is
# the proof — see [[Container Network Namespaces]]), and frank-tts lives there
# too, so the TTS credential can be `http://frank-tts:7772/v1`. The private
# systemd-open-notebook bridge is second and carries only the database; its
# traffic is on-link, so losing the default route costs it nothing.
#
# PUBLISHED PORTS, and the 5055 collision. Upstream publishes 8502 and 5055,
# and 5055 is exactly the port seerr already holds on this host
# (`PublishPort=127.0.0.1:5055:5055`; `ss -ltn` on Dankclaw 2026-10-18 shows
# 127.0.0.1:5055 taken). So the API leaves the container on host port 5056.
# That forces one setting: the frontend auto-detects the API as
# `<host-you-opened>:5055`, so API_URL in scripts/open-notebook.env must name
# the remapped port explicitly, or the UI loads and every call fails. Both
# ports are published on all interfaces because the consumer is a browser on
# the LAN — the fleet's browser-facing services (open-webui, comfyui, gitea)
# bind the same way, while loopback-only is reserved for services whose user
# path is the guard chain. This service has NO vhost and no Caddy route: it is
# internal-only until it is guarded, and its own password
# (OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD) is what stands in front of it. That password is not
# decoration: with it unset the API answers everyone on the LAN, including the
# unauthenticated episode-audio download.
#
# VOLUMES. `/app/data` is a named volume: uploads, the LangGraph SQLite
# checkpoints and the extraction caches the image keeps under it
# (UV_CACHE_DIR, HF_HOME) are app state nobody browses. The ONE exception is
# finished audio, which is bind-mounted out of the container at
# /home/dank/media/podcasts. That mount is interim and reversible: episode
# destination is an open human-only decision (Gitea issue #7, label
# `human-only` — agents must not work it), and until it lands, episodes are
# ordinary files on the host. DATA_FOLDER is hard-coded `./data` in the app
# (WORKDIR /app) and the DB stores audio paths RELATIVE to data/podcasts, so
# covering that one subdirectory is enough and removing the line changes
# nothing else. The image declares no USER, so the app runs as container root,
# which in this host's rootless mapping (0 -> 1000, measured on this host —
# see [[Seerr]]) writes those episode files as dank.
#
# HEALTH. `GET /health` on the API returns {"status":"healthy"} and is in the
# password middleware's excluded-path list, so the probe stays honest after the
# password is set (both read from api/main.py upstream). The image installs
# curl and ffmpeg in the runtime layer, so the probe needs no shell — kept
# argument-only for the generator's space-splitting. Note what this probe does
# NOT prove: the route returns a static body, so it says the API serves, not
# that the database answers. The DB has its own probe in its unit, and the
# worker's failure to reach the database shows up as failed jobs, not as an
# unhealthy container.

# resolve only on the network that owns them. Putting SurrealDB here instead of

# every other namespace anyway), and nothing else on the fleet-wide network can
# dial it with the root credentials. Same reasoning as the gitea and authentik
# database pairs.
#
# Kernel bridge, not slirp4netns: the 2026-08-22 open-webui incident (a dead

# frank-tts — the cloned-voice speech façade (dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py).
#
# Standard library only, so there is nothing to pip-install and nothing to
# compile: the image is a python runtime plus ffmpeg (the one binary the app
# shells out to, for response_format=mp3) plus one COPY of app.py. Rebuild to
# ship a new app.py.
#
# Build on dankclaw (deploy-remote.sh build_compose_image frank-tts does this,
# including --format docker, which the fleet's other local builds also pass):
# podman build --format docker -t franksdank/frank-tts:latest \
# -f dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile .
#
# BASE PINNED BY DIGEST, like every other image this fleet runs from a
# registry: a tag moves under a rebuild and a voice endpoint that changes
# python or ffmpeg mid-week is a debug session nobody asked for. The digest is
# the multi-arch INDEX of python:3.12-alpine as published 2026-10-18 (amd64 +
# arm64 on linux); Dankclaw resolves the amd64 entry.
#
# WHY 3.12: the fleet's ceiling for this app is python <= 3.12 (single file,
# no build step); the alpine flavour also keeps the image in the tens of MB
# and ships busybox `wget`, which is what the quadlet unit's HealthCmd runs —
# so no HEALTHCHECK belongs here (the probe lives in the unit, as in
# alertmanager/prometheus; only distroless bases need it baked in).

"""frank-tts — the fleet's OpenAI-compatible speech façade (component: the shim).
One local endpoint that answers ``voice=<name>`` with audio in a cloned voice.
Consumers (the omp harness, OpenWebUI, open-notebook) speak the OpenAI
``POST /v1/audio/speech`` shape and never learn a file path: a voice is a
directory under ``$VOICES_DIR`` and ``reference.wav`` inside it is what makes
the name real. A name that has no reference is not a voice — the shim answers
400 with the list that is, instead of silently narrating in a fallback voice
(silent fallback is how a wrong-voice endpoint stays wrong for weeks).
Two backends sit behind the one surface, chosen by ``TTS_BACKEND``:
``omni-http``
Forward to an OpenAI-shaped upstream TTS server (``$TTS_UPSTREAM``) and
carry the cloned voice with the request as ``reference_audio`` (base64 of
``reference.wav``). The upstream does the inference; this process only
resolves the voice and, when asked, re-encodes to mp3 with ``ffmpeg``.
``llama-tts-cli``
Run a local binary per request (``$LLAMA_TTS_BIN``), hand it the
reference with ``--tts-speaker-file``, read the WAV it writes. ``nice -n
19`` because this box also serves text and a voice request must never
starve it.
Everything comes from the environment, read at REQUEST time (no
import-time-only globals): the same module can be imported with an injected
``Config`` or run with ``python3 app.py`` and the unit's env file.
Runtime law: single process, standard library only, no build step. Audio
bytes never reach the log — request lines and error text only.

# Install path on dankclaw: ~/.config/containers/systemd/frank-tts.container
# Unit name: frank-tts.service (container name: frank-tts)
#
# WHAT IT IS. The fleet's one OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint: consumers
# (omp, OpenWebUI, open-notebook) POST /v1/audio/speech with voice=<name> and
# get audio in that cloned voice. A voice is a directory under
# /home/dank/voices holding reference.wav; the shim refuses any name without
# one (400 + the list that does exist) rather than narrating in a fallback
# voice nobody chose. The engine behind it is a separate decision —
# TTS_BACKEND in scripts/frank-tts.env picks between forwarding to an
# OpenAI-shaped upstream on host :8880 and running a local CLI binary per
# request.
#
# IMAGE. Built locally from dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile by
# deploy-remote.sh (build_compose_image), like loki/alloy: python 3.12-alpine
# pinned by digest + ffmpeg, app.py copied in, running as uid 10000.
# Pull=never and the localhost/ prefix are required — this host's quadlet
# path cannot resolve a locally built tag from local storage otherwise.
#
# NETWORK. Bridge (dankclaw_default), NOT host: nothing here needs a shared
# loopback namespace, and the comfyui/loki/authentik units are bridge too.
# Consequences both ways: consumers reach it on the published 7772, and the
# shim reaches the host-side TTS engine through host.containers.internal
# (never the LAN IP — a bridge netns cannot route to the host's own address
# for every bind shape, and the fleet's law is the gateway name). NOTE for
# whoever starts the :8880 engine: host.containers.internal reaches the host
# network namespace, so the engine must bind an address that namespace
# accepts; a 127.0.0.1-only bind is not it (the 2026-09-17 signal-relay hop
# needed the host LAN bind for the same reason).
#
# VOICES. /home/dank/voices is host state, never repo state, and is mounted
# READ-ONLY: this endpoint has no business writing voice packs. Because the
# container runs as uid 10000, the packs must be world-readable (644 files,
# 755 directories), which is how the pack builder writes them.
#
# NO GPU. The shim is a façade: audio conversion via ffmpeg on the CPU and,
# for the CLI backend, whatever CPU threads LLAMA_TTS_THREADS allows, at nice
# 19. No /dev/kfd, no /dev/dri, no keep-groups — unlike comfyui, whose unit

The planner is intentionally side-effect free. It accepts either an explicit Thin wrapper over scripts/service-map.py, which owns the path->service

to only the service definitions that actually changed instead of restarting an rules, the quadlet netns/network coupling graph, host scoping (a host's
entire compose project. directory can only select that host's services), and canonical restart
order. This file keeps the deployer's CLI contract only.
Usage:
deploy-plan.py --target NAME --repo DIR --base REV --head REV

# content. The six tokenizer assets ARE published with matching blob
# identities. No source-matched n-gram/vision pair is published anywhere, so
# the only companions available are peonist's — which is also what the

# Candidate payload for frank-zealot: prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf at
# **PTQ1_0** — the DENSE ternary packing (1.75 bits/weight, 5.95 GB) of the same
# weights the live PQ2_0 endpoint serves (2.13 bits/weight, 7.21 GB). Public
# repo: no auth header, and never a token on the command line (a Bearer token is
# world-readable in /proc/<pid>/cmdline).
#
# WHY THIS ARM EXISTS. The whole argument is footprint: 5,946,648,928 B against
# the live 7,206,168,928 B = **1,201 MiB freed on the card**. On this endpoint
# KV bills 34,816 B/token (16 full-attention layers x 4 KV heads x 256 dim at
# q8_0 K + q8_0 V), so that one gap is ~37,000 tokens of pool per 1,201 MiB —
# context is exactly what the freed weight bytes buy.
#
# WHY IT MIGHT LOSE. The publisher's own throughput table (README, llama-bench,
# batch 1, depth 0): PTQ1_0 wins decode only on Ada/L4 (RTX 4090 91.1 vs 81.2,
# RTX 6000 Ada 90.4 vs 82.8, L4 32.1 vs 29.8) and LOSES on H100 (86.9 vs 113.9)
# and A100 (54.7 vs 73.9); prompt processing "favors PQ2_0 everywhere" (A100
# 706 vs 1328). The card text says explicitly that dense-trit unpacking costs
# arithmetic and the pack is "slower on Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell". There is
# NO GA102/RTX 3090 row: the Ampere statement generalizes from an A100, which is
# instruction-bound at batch 1 with 2 TB/s of HBM, while the 3090 is the
# bandwidth-starved member of the family (936 GB/s) — the one regime where
# moving 17 % less weight per step can pay. That is an argument, not a
# measurement: this script exists so the decision is made on OUR card, against
# the PQ2_0 record (76.6 t/s single-stream decode, 1,258 t/s prefill at 35k).
# MEASURED ON OUR CARD (2026-10-18). Frank ordered this shape at 02:36 — Q8
# mmproj, batch 3072/ubatch 1536, two contexts — and the unit ran it as
# production 03:14:39→03:38:57 (pid 191358, journal `type ptq1_0: 402 tensors`).
# Its own print_timing lines: decode **48.0 / 47.6 t/s at 512 tokens** (47.9 at
# 229, 49.0 at 451), 25–27 t/s per stream with two streams live, prefill 1,295
# t/s at 30,637 → 943 at 97,856 → 801 at 141,365. The 1,201 MiB arrived and the
# decode tax came with it: −37 % against the PQ2_0 record, so the Ampere warning
# DOES generalize to GA102. Frank scratched the 27B plan at 03:33 for the 9B;
# this payload is the 27B rollback, not a candidate.
#
# THE RUNTIME LOCK CARRIES OVER. Both packings are custom GGML tensor types and
# stock llama.cpp rejects them ("It rejects PQ2_0 and PTQ1_0 as unknown types"
# — the card), so the PrismML fork build stays mandatory. Confirm the loadability
# against the installed binary BEFORE pointing any unit at this file.
#
# The vision projector is the SAME file the PQ2_0 endpoint already uses (Hub LFS
# oid 6807ede61d57… matches byte-for-byte), so it is HARDLINKED from the existing
# payload dir instead of re-downloaded — a hardlink is a regular file, so the
# serve gates' no-symlink rule stays satisfied.

# Fetch candidate payload for frank-zealot: prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf
# at **PQ2_0** (the ternary g128 pack stored 2 bits/trit + fp16 scale per 128)
# plus the publisher's Q8_0 vision projector. Public repo — no auth header,
# and never a token on the command line (world-readable in /proc/<pid>/cmdline).
#
# Why PQ2_0 and not PTQ1_0: measured on the same silicon family (community
# 3090 Ti report, PrismML-Eng/Bonsai-demo) PTQ1_0 is ~17 % slower decode and
# ~48 % slower prefill than PQ2_0 on Ampere; the model card says the same
# (PTQ1_0 wins only on Ada/L4). The pack is consumed packed — 6.71 GiB
# resident, never expanded to f16.
#
# Header facts (HTTP range parse, not the card): arch qwen35, 64 blocks,
# full_attention_interval 4 => 16 full-attention + 48 Gated DeltaNet layers,
# 4 KV heads x 256 dim, native 262,144, vocab 248,320, and NO nextn/mtp
# tensors (block_count is 64 real layers) — so in-file MTP is impossible and
# SPEC_TYPE=none is forced by the payload. 402 tensors carry the custom type
# id 142 (GGML_TYPE_PQ2_0, group 128): STOCK llama.cpp refuses this file, and
# loads the repo's F16 file silently with garbage output — only the
# PrismML-Eng/llama.cpp fork applies the prism.hadamard.* activation
# transform declared in this file's metadata.
#
# These ARE LFS files (unlike the HauhauCS payload): the Hub publishes the
# oid, and both shas below are the Hub's LFS sha256. The mmproj sha has also
# been recomputed locally against the copy in /home/dank/models/Bonsai2-CRACK/.
#
# NOT pinned by this script: /home/dank/models/Bonsai2-CRACK/

# frank-tts.env — tunables for **frank-tts**, the fleet's cloned-voice speech
# endpoint on Dankclaw, host port **7772** (the LLM port family: 7770
# frank-dragoon, 7771 frank-zealot, 7772 frank-tts). Read by the Quadlet unit
# (EnvironmentFile=), which is why the paths below are CONTAINER paths.
#
# WHAT THIS IS. One OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech façade in front of
# whichever TTS engine wins the engine decision (dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py
# is a single stdlib-only file in a locally built image). Consumers — omp's
# TTS device, OpenWebUI, open-notebook — address a VOICE BY NAME
# (voice=narrator1, or the harness' voice_id=narrator1) and never see a path:
# a name is real exactly when /voices/<name>/reference.wav exists, and
# anything else is a 400 that lists the names that are.
#
# THE PACKS. /home/dank/voices on the host, mounted read-only at /voices. One
# directory per voice, and a directory is a PACK only when it carries BOTH
# required members:
# reference.wav 24 kHz mono PCM, 18-25 s of clean single-speaker audio,
# plus the 16 kHz variant some engines want;
# the engine artifact the pinned backend's own speaker file (embedding /
# speaker weights). REQUIRED, beside the WAV and never
# replacing it — a voice that cannot be reused by another
# runtime is not a saved voice.
# plus manifest.json for provenance: source file, offsets (always past the
# first 10 s of that file, the source-material law), engine, sha256. Packs are
# host state and stay out of this repo; they must be world-readable because the
# container runs as uid 10000. Who enforces what: the shim gates on
# reference.wav because that is the only engine-agnostic term, so the pack
# builder is what refuses to emit a pack without its engine artifact — until a
# winning engine pins the format and this gate can name the file.
#
# BACKEND SWITCH. TTS_BACKEND picks the shape and nothing else changes for the
# consumer:
# omni-http forward to an OpenAI-shaped upstream on the host (:8880),
# carrying the voice along as base64 reference_audio. The
# engine does the inference; the shim resolves the voice and
# re-encodes to mp3 when asked.
# llama-tts-cli run LLAMA_TTS_BIN once per request with
# --tts-speaker-file <reference.wav>, nice 19 so a narration

# llm-gates.sh — the artifact gates every LLM endpoint runs before it starts.
#
# Why this file exists: every LLM endpoint gates its payload twice — the
# serve script at start, the deployer before dispatch. Two hand-written
# copies of the same checks drift apart in wording and strictness, and the
# drift surfaces as deploy-time disagreement: one side passes, the other
# refuses, and the failure lands in production instead of in the gate.
# Both sides source this library, so the refusal is one text and one rule.
#
# Contract (public interface):
# require_exec PATH LABEL HINT
# require_file PATH LABEL HINT
# require_bytes PATH LABEL WANT_BYTES HINT
# require_min_mib PATH LABEL MIN_MIB HINT
# require_dir_files DIR LABEL HINT FILE...
# require_image REF HINT
#
# Each returns 0 and prints nothing on success. On failure it prints two
# lines to stderr — the first naming the endpoint ($GATE_PREFIX) and the
# artifact, the second the remedy — and returns 1. It NEVER exits: the serve
# scripts run under `set -e` (so a refusal is terminal), while the deployer
# wants `|| return 1` so a failed gate reports a red deploy for that one
# service and the dispatcher's state marker stays pending.
# Lines are labelled by ARTIFACT CLASS, and the class is the whole label
# (the path rides in the same line): the class + path is what an operator
# acts on, so no wording order and no payload rename can make the two twins
# disagree. The deployer's old "halogen vision tower" and the serve script's
# "vision-tower" were one gate in two vocabularies that no grep could join.
# Size checks use equality, not a floor, for `require_bytes`: a fetch that
# truncates looks like a success (an HTTP error exit is often swallowed, and
# the error body is written in the artifact's place), so "exists and is big
# enough" is not proof of the right artifact. The declared byte count is a
# contract in both directions — a bigger file is a DIFFERENT artifact.

# caller exports it; shellcheck cannot follow it across the source boundary,
# so the read site carries the directive.

# refusal and reports SUCCESS;
# * `set -e` is suspended for any command in a `… || …` chain, so a gate

# credentials than the app will present; an empty OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY
# means no provider credential can be saved at all. So the guard is in
# deploy-remote.sh (seed_open_notebook_env), not in the app's opinion.
#
# THE CPU-SHUTDOWN GUARD (the two knobs that matter most on this box). Defaults
# are TTS_BATCH_SIZE=5 and OPEN_NOTEBOOK_WORKER_MAX_TASKS=5 — five parallel
# synthesis requests from five parallel jobs. frank-tts answers each request by
# spawning its own engine process (~8 GiB resident, 8 threads, measured in the
# frank-tts CPU trial of 2026-10-18), so the defaults mean ~40 GiB and forty
# threads aimed at a machine that also serves frank-dragoon and frank-zealot and
# whose TTS engine runs on the SAME CPU. Both numbers are 1 here: one episode at
# a time, one voice line synthesized at a time. That is a throughput choice, not
# a correctness one — a podcast is a background job — and it is the difference
# between a slow render and a box that stops answering the text endpoints
# mid-sentence. Raise them only with a TTS engine that batches internally.
#
# THE TTS CLOCK. ESPERANTO_TTS_TIMEOUT is the worker's patience per DIALOGUE
# LINE, not per episode: one episode is dozens of POSTs to /v1/audio/speech
# (the app synthesises each speaker turn separately and concatenates the clips
# with ffmpeg afterwards), and a CPU engine takes single-digit seconds for a
# line, with the tail of a long turn well past the 300 s default. 660 sits one
# round-trip OUTSIDE SHIM_TIMEOUT=600 in scripts/frank-tts.env — the shim's own
# per-request ceiling — so a frank-tts give-up arrives as frank-tts's error and
# not as open-notebook abandoning a synthesis still in flight. An abandoned
# request does not cancel the engine process; it just leaves the episode stuck in
# "generating" while the audio arrives.
#
# THE SCRIPTWRITER. ESPERANTO_LLM_TIMEOUT is the app's own default (180 s), kept
# visible beside the TTS number because both belong to one podcast run: the
# outline call and the transcript call are the slow text work, and frank-zealot
# answers them well inside 180. Provider choice is made in the UI, not here —
# see [[Open Notebook]] for the one-time credential provisioning — and it is
# frank-zealot on purpose: script writing asks for a JSON-schema response, which
# the OpenAI-compatible llama.cpp endpoint is known to serve, while halogen's
# structured-output behaviour on frank-dragoon is UNVERIFIED. halogen remains
# the unproven alternative, not the fallback.
#
# THE DATABASE COORDINATES. SURREAL_URL addresses the sibling container BY NAME
# on systemd-open-notebook (container DNS is scoped to the owning network, so
# this is the only form that works). NAMESPACE/DATABASE/USER are plain names.
# SURREAL_PASSWORD and SURREAL_PASS are ONE value under two spellings: the app
# reads SURREAL_PASSWORD, the `surreal` CLI reads SURREAL_PASS. Keep them equal;
# the deployer writes both into the seeded file from a single SURREAL_PASSWORD in
# dankclaw/.env, so hand-editing one line is the only way to desync them.

"""service-map.py — the only reader of the service inventory.
Four lists used to agree by discipline (the planner's path rules, the
deployer's allow-list, the changed-test mapper, and the scrape/probe/DNS
facts written by hand in three config files). They now all read
`shared/services.yml` through this tool:
hosts the deploy targets
services [--host H] deployables a target accepts, canonical order
allows --host H --service S exit 0 when H accepts S (silent)
plan --host H PATH... services selected by changed paths, order-safe
seams [--host H] PATH... the Bats seams a changed path must re-run
owner --host H PATH the service that owns a file (empty: none)
units --host H --service S "<unit> <unit_dir>" lines the handler installs
stack --host H --service S the deployable + members one handler deploys
get --service S [--host H] F one field as JSON
render pihole-hosts the Pi-hole addn-hosts file
check [NAME...] integrity + drift gates (exit 1 on drift)
Two rules the engine enforces structurally:
* A path selects only services that RUN on the planned target. Path
matching that is host-blind (match first, filter later) lets a file on
one host plan a service on another; selection is scoped to the host the
path belongs to.
* The netns family is DERIVED, never declared: a unit file that says
`Network=gluetun.container` rides that tunnel, so a gluetun change selects
every sharer. The unit files are the source of that coupling.

# ttm-preflight.sh — the TTM pages-cap gate for engines that PIN host RAM.
#
# Sourced, never executed. An engine that pins tens of GiB of host RAM (the
# radiance expert pools + the PLE n-gram table) has its pinned pages charged
# against the kernel's ttm page cap: /sys/module/ttm/parameters/pages_limit
# (and pages_max on kernels that expose one). The cap function below takes the
# MIN over the knobs the running kernel actually exposes — an absent knob is
# skipped, never read as zero, because a zero would refuse a healthy cap.
#
# THE LAW THIS FILE EXISTS FOR: the cap is a RUNTIME knob. The kernel default is
# half of RAM, so every raise is lost on reboot. On 2026-10-12 23:17 a power
# failure on dankserver reset it 200 GiB -> 125,988 MiB, and frank-archon's
# preflight refused the start — 6,919 crash-restarts over ~20 hours, with
# `Restart=always` cheerfully re-running a refusal. A manual sysfs write is
# therefore not an acceptable repair procedure: the gate raises the knob itself
# (the units that need it run as root, and the knob is a 0644 root-owned module
# parameter), re-reads, and only then refuses.
#
# Contract (set by the sourcing script's env file):
# FRANK_ARCHON_TTM_MIN_MIB floor the pinned ledger needs; refuse below it
# FRANK_ARCHON_TTM_TARGET_MIB value to raise the cap to when it is below the
# floor (the recorded host ceiling — writing the
# floor itself would leave the ledger no slack)

# path, a test points it at a temp dir.

# Service Inventory
Before 2026-10-13 the same facts lived in four hand-maintained lists — the
planner's path rules (`deploy-plan.py`), the `--service` allow-list in
`deploy.sh`, the near-copy in `deploy-remote.sh`, and the changed-test mapper
(`test-changed.sh`) — plus per-fact copies in `prometheus.yml`,
`addn-hosts`, and `services.json`. They drifted on every swap (the planner
still mapped the retired `qwen-sharp` template to frank-dragoon; the allow-list
still listed the *arr stack under Dankserver after it moved to FrankBook-Pro).
Now there is **one inventory and one reader**:
- `shared/services.yml` — the data: every deployable service, its hosts, unit
dir(s), unit files, path claims, tests, scrape/DNS/probe facts, aliases.
- `scripts/service-map.py` — the only reader. CLI subcommands:
`hosts`, `services`, `allows`, `plan`, `seams`, `owner`, `units`, `stack`,
`get`, `render`, `check`.
## 1. Consumers
|Consumer|Call|
|---|---|
|`scripts/deploy-plan.py`|thin wrapper → `plan --host TARGET [paths...]` (keeps the `--repo/--base/--head` and `--paths` CLIs)|
|`scripts/deploy.sh` (`--service` gate)|`allows --host T --service S`|
|`scripts/deploy-remote.sh` (`service_is_allowed`)|same|
|`scripts/test-changed.sh`|`seams [paths...]` — a service's declared `tests` are its seams|
|`dankclaw/pihole/addn-hosts`|`render pihole-hosts` — the tracked file is a rendered artifact|
|`*/observability/quadlet/node-exporter.container`|`render node-exporter-unit --host H` — the MIRROR pair became one template; per-host title, LAN address (hosts map), and port (scrape job) fill it|
|Prometheus scrape jobs, LAN DNS, homepage probes|`check` compares the tracked configs against the inventory's `scrape`/`dns`/`probe` fields (drift gate)|
Selection rules the engine encodes (see `tests/fixtures/service-plan-golden.tsv`,
the pinned characterization of every tracked path × every target):
- **Host scoping** — a host's top-level directory can only select that host's
services. `frankbook-pro/**` plans nothing on Dankserver (the old planner
had a stale Dankserver *arr list).
- **Quadlet coupling graph** — `Network=x.container` rides x's netns;
`Network=y.network` joins a shared network. Changing the parent (or the
network file) selects every rider transitively, in their own directories
(`dankclaw/searxng/quadlet/gluetun.container` → gluetun + searxng + marreta;
`frankbook-pro/gluetun/quadlet/gluetun.container` → the whole arr stack).
- **Stacks** — a service's `stack` members deploy and restart as one handler
(romm trio, hermes trio).
- **Retirement** — removing a service from `services.yml` removes it from the
planner, both allow-lists, and the seam mapper in one data edit; a pending
deploy-state entry for it is auto-triaged (see [[Deploy State Triage]]).
## 2. Integrity gates (`check`)
`python3 scripts/service-map.py check` runs, and
`tests/service_inventory.bats` pins:
- **schema** — required fields per entry, known keys only;
- **units** — every unit file named by an entry exists under its `unit_dir`
on the right host; each unit name is claimed by exactly one service per host;
- **ownership** — every tracked quadlet `.container`/`.network` file is claimed
by exactly one service (trash excluded);
- **paths** — every claimed `files`/`dirs`/`retires` glob matches ≥1 tracked file;
- **compose** — the container names in each host's `compose.yaml` have exactly
one quadlet owner (the [[Quadlet Lifecycle]] two-owners trap);
- **drift** — `addn-hosts` equals its render, each tracked node-exporter unit
equals its per-host render; the Prometheus job set, the DNS names, and the
homepage probe ports equal the inventory's fields.
## 3. Adding, moving, retiring a service
- **Add**: append an entry (name, hosts, kind, unit_dir, units, paths, tests,
…), add the quadlet file, run `check` — `plan`/`allows`/`seams` pick it up
with zero script edits.
- **Move between hosts**: edit `hosts` (and per-host `unit_dir`/`probe` maps).
- **Retire**: delete the entry, move files to `.AGENTTRASH/` (see
[[Testing Policy]] for the seam the mapper applies to trash paths).
Field notes: `alias` carries deployable names that differ from the service
name (`calibre-web` deploys the unit `calibre-server`); `probe` for multi-host
services is a `{host: port}` map; `dependents` names services whose config
embeds a reference to this one (config-only coupling — a `.env` edit selects
both, a unit edit selects the graph closure).
## 4. Known cutover deltas (2026-10-13)
The 17 deltas against the old planner are all in these classes: anubis paths
now select `anubis` (the old planner had no rule at all); cross-host paths
select nothing; `scripts/qwen-sharp-v22.4.0.jinja` (retired template) plans
nothing while `scripts/qwen38-froggeric-v22.5.jinja` (the live frank-archon
template, previously unmapped) plans frank-archon;
`dankserver/romm/romm.container` (top-level quadlet dir the old unit-file rule
missed) now plans the romm trio.

# Open Notebook
open-notebook ([lfnovo/open-notebook](https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook)) is the notebook layer that turns existing notes and sources into a **spoken episode**: an outline, then a dialogue transcript, then one synthesized clip per speaker turn, concatenated with ffmpeg into an MP3. In the fleet it is the consumer that closes the loop Frank's audio stack was built for — the script is written by **frank-zealot**, the voices are rendered by **frank-tts**, and nothing leaves the LAN.
**It is NOT deployed.** This page documents repo-owned configuration — the Quadlet units, the env file, the deployer path, the homepage card — and the contract those files were written against. On 2026-10-18 no `open-notebook` or `open-notebook-surrealdb` container exists on Dankclaw (`podman ps -a` census, 2026-10-18), and the homepage card ships `wip: "down"` with `showLink: false`, so the card is hidden and reported `wip-down`. Deploying it is a deliberate next step, not a pending one.
**Host:** Dankclaw (rootless Podman, user `dank`) — **Ports:** 8502 UI and 5056 API, published on the LAN, **no vhost and no Caddy route** — **Deployer:** `open-notebook` (one service, two units) — **Docs:** https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook
## Facts (verified 2026-10-18 against the pinned images, upstream source, and the live host)
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| App image | `docker.io/lfnovo/open_notebook:v1-latest@sha256:54b2025a4a4853c188f74b9b8246eca8c5480e5dd1babfa92db1038ff2f30212` (`open-notebook.container:79`) — the tag upstream's own `docker-compose.yml:27` pins for the multi-container shape. `v1-latest` is a moving tag, so the manifest-list digest (resolved from the registry 2026-10-18) is what makes this reproducible |
| Database image | `docker.io/surrealdb/surrealdb:v2@sha256:e5d7387e3727bbe2f7cd6d869e48cd34777272258572ead37c9656b25f745723` (`open-notebook-surrealdb.container:66`) — that digest is **SurrealDB 2.7.0** (image built 2026-09-23; measured by running the digest: `surreal version`) |
| Do NOT use | the `-single` tags (`v1-latest-single`). That variant bundles SurrealDB inside the app image and is deprecated upstream; here it would give the host a second, hidden database |
| Ports | container 8502 (Next.js UI) + 5055 (FastAPI API) → published `0.0.0.0:8502:8502` and `0.0.0.0:5056:5055` (`open-notebook.container:83-84`). **Host 5055 is taken**: seerr publishes `127.0.0.1:5055` (`dankclaw/seerr/quadlet/seerr.container`, and `ss -ltn` on Dankclaw shows `127.0.0.1:5055` live, 2026-10-18). The API therefore leaves on 5056, which is what forces `API_URL` (below) |
| Database port | 8000 inside its own namespace, **never published** (`open-notebook-surrealdb.container` has no `PublishPort`). Upstream publishes `127.0.0.1:8000` for debugging (`docker-compose.yml:18`); this unit does not, and the seam asserts that it stays that way |
| Data | `open-notebook-data:/app/data` (named volume: uploads, LangGraph SQLite checkpoints, extraction caches) **plus** the interim host bind `/home/dank/media/podcasts:/app/data/podcasts` (`open-notebook.container:87-88`); database in the `open-notebook-db` named volume |
| Networks | app: `dankclaw_default` first, then the private `systemd-open-notebook` (10.89.4.0/24, `open-notebook.network:33`); database: the private bridge only. Order is load-bearing — the generated `--network` flags keep file order, so the default route rides the network where `host.containers.internal` is proven |
| Units | `dankclaw/open-notebook/quadlet/open-notebook.container` → `open-notebook.service`; `open-notebook-surrealdb.container` → `open-notebook-surrealdb.service`; both `Restart=always`, `RestartSec=10` / `5`, `[Install] WantedBy=default.target` — boot-persistent per [[Quadlet Lifecycle]] (generated units cannot be `enable`d on this host; the `[Install]` section is what the v1 generator honors at user-manager start) |
| Health | app: `curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:5055/health` (`open-notebook.container:89`); database: `/surreal is-ready` (`open-notebook-surrealdb.container:73`) |
| Env | `scripts/open-notebook.env` (repo, knobs) then `/home/dank/Containers/open-notebook/env` (host, secrets, mode 600) — two `EnvironmentFile=` lines per unit, repo file **first** because the last file wins |
| Deployer | `deploy_open_notebook` in `scripts/deploy-remote.sh`: seed secrets → ensure both digest pins are in local storage → install both units + the network → `mkdir -p /home/dank/media/podcasts` → restart database, wait for its container health → restart app → `wait_for_health open-notebook http://127.0.0.1:5056/health 180` |
## What the image actually runs
One container, three processes under supervisord (`supervisord.conf` upstream): `uvicorn api.main:app --port 5055` (`:12`), the job worker (`:25`), and the Next.js frontend (`:39`). Two consequences the config depends on:
- **One unit owns the whole app.** There is no separate worker or frontend container to scale or restart, and the frontend refuses to start until the API answers (`wait-for-api.sh && node server.js`, `supervisord.conf:39`) — so gating the API gates the UI.
- **The worker's concurrency comes from the environment**, not a flag baked into the image: `--max-tasks ${OPEN_NOTEBOOK_WORKER_MAX_TASKS:-5}` (`supervisord.conf:25`). Setting it in the env file is a real change, not decoration.
Also from the image itself: `WORKDIR /app` and `EXPOSE 8502 5055` (`Dockerfile:84`, `:126`), **no `USER` line** (the app runs as container root, which in this host's rootless map lands as `dank` — the [[Seerr]] UID note measured `0 → 1000` on this machine), and `curl` **and** `ffmpeg` installed in the runtime layer (`Dockerfile:74-76`) — curl makes the health probe possible without a shell wrapper, ffmpeg is how the per-line clips become one file.
`DATA_FOLDER` is hard-coded `"./data"` (`open_notebook/config.py:5`) and `PODCASTS_FOLDER` is `"./data/podcasts"` (`:19`); the database stores each episode's audio path **relative** to that folder (`episodes/<uuid>/audio/<uuid>.mp3`), and the download route is `GET /api/podcasts/episodes/{id}/audio`. That is why covering one subdirectory with a bind mount is sufficient — nothing in the database has to change if the mount moves.
## Provisioning the providers (after first boot; UI or REST, never a unit)
Credentials are stored in the database, encrypted, and are **not expressible in env or a Quadlet file**. The sequence is one-time, in **Manage → Models**, and both entries use provider type **OpenAI Compatible** (upstream: any server that implements `/v1/audio/speech` works this way — `docs/5-CONFIGURATION/local-tts.md:5`).
1. **TTS credential** — base URL **`http://frank-tts:7772/v1`**. The `/v1` is part of the URL: the client posts to `<base_url>/audio/speech`, so a base URL without `/v1` 404s on every dialogue line (`local-tts.md:72-80`, the base-URL table, always carries `/v1`). `frank-tts` resolves by container name because the app is attached to `dankclaw_default`, the network frank-tts's unit joins (`dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts.container:51-52`). If frank-tts is ever moved off that network, the published-port form is `http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1` — a published port is dialable at the host's LAN address from any netns. The API-key field stays empty; frank-tts does not authenticate.
2. **LLM credential** — base URL **`http://host.containers.internal:7771/v1`**, model row `frank-zealot`. frank-zealot is a **host process** on `0.0.0.0:7771` (`ss -ltn` on Dankclaw shows the listener with no container owning it, 2026-10-18), and on this netavark host a bridge container reaches the host's LAN IP only at a *published* port — which is why Prometheus scrapes the same endpoint as `host.containers.internal:7771` (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:89-111`, "not their own LAN addresses"). See [[Container Network Namespaces]]. `http://192.168.0.143:7771/v1` is the variant to try only if the gateway name ever stops resolving; it is expected to be refused from a bridge netns.
3. **Model rows are created by name.** Discovery is optional (see the next section): type the model id and confirm the add. One base URL per credential, so the TTS and LLM credentials are necessarily two separate configurations.
**Verify reachability before saving**, from inside the container, because both addresses are netns-dependent:
```bash
podman exec open-notebook curl -sS http://frank-tts:7772/health
podman exec open-notebook curl -sS http://host.containers.internal:7771/v1/models
```
**The blocker to state plainly:** frank-tts is built, named and tested but **not deployed** — nothing answers on 7772 (`ss -ltn`, Dankclaw, 2026-10-18; [[Local TTS and Voice Cloning]] records the same census). open-notebook deployed today writes scripts and fails at the first voice line. frank-tts ships first, or podcast generation waits.
**Why frank-zealot and not frank-dragoon:** podcast scriptwriting asks the model for a JSON-schema response (with a plain-JSON fallback). llama.cpp's OpenAI-compatible endpoint is a known-good target for that; frank-dragoon's halogen runtime has **unverified** structured-output behaviour, so it is the unproven alternative, not the fallback. `ESPERANTO_LLM_TIMEOUT=180` (the app's own default) covers an outline or transcript call on zealot comfortably; upstream's note is to keep it under 600 so a slow call fails with a clear error instead of a UI timeout.
## Speakers and voices: 1–4, and the IDs are free text
A **speaker profile** carries one to four speakers (`docs/3-USER-GUIDE/creating-podcasts.md:27`), each with a personality and a **Voice ID that is typed exactly and passed through to the TTS request untouched** (`:29`) — there is no whitelist, no enum, no validation against a voice list. So the fleet's voice-pack names work verbatim:
| Speaker | Voice ID to type |
|---------|------------------|
| Speaker 1 | `narrator1` |
| Speaker 2 | `narrator2` |
| Speaker 3 | `narrator3` |
Those are the pack names frank-tts resolves from `/home/dank/voices` (`scripts/frank-tts.env` header: a voice is real exactly when `/voices/<name>/reference.wav` exists). Two traps, both from upstream's shipped defaults:
- The three seeded speaker profiles carry **OpenAI voice names** (`nova`, `alloy`, …) and **no voice model at all** — they show a "Setup required" badge, and generation fails with a voice error until they are edited (`creating-podcasts.md:13`, `:33`; `local-tts.md:89`). Add a `narrator1`/`narrator2` pair (or a third/fourth) rather than editing the seeded ones in place.
- Two speakers with the same voice are hard to follow (`creating-podcasts.md:89`). Distinct packs per speaker is the point of the 1–4 shape.
## Two buttons that fail against frank-tts, and why that is cosmetic
- **Test Connection** probes `GET <base_url>/models` (`open_notebook/ai/connection_tester.py:208-229`). frank-tts serves exactly two GET routes — `/health` and `/v1/audio/voices` — and 404s every other path (`dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py:228-238`). The button reports a failure against a healthy server.
- **Discover Models** does the same `GET <base>/models` (`open_notebook/ai/model_discovery.py:26-28`) and finds nothing to list.
- The TTS test path also synthesises with a **hard-coded voice `alloy`** for `openai_compatible` (`connection_tester.py:328-336`), which is not a fleet voice pack and would be refused even if the probe reached frank-tts.
None of it blocks anything: model rows are added **by name** ("If a model isn't listed, type its id and click Add", `local-tts.md:82`) and the Voice ID field is free text. The failure is a missing `/models` route on a deliberately minimal shim, not a broken credential. The honest end-to-end test is a real generation job, or the `podman exec … curl /v1/audio/speech` call frank-tts's own seam documents.
## The CPU guard, and why both numbers are 1
Defaults are `TTS_BATCH_SIZE=5` and `OPEN_NOTEBOOK_WORKER_MAX_TASKS=5` (`docs/5-CONFIGURATION/environment-reference.md:129-130`) — five parallel synthesis requests from five parallel jobs. frank-tts spawns an engine process per request (about 8 GiB resident, 8 threads, from the frank-tts CPU trial of 2026-10-18; `scripts/frank-tts.env` pins `LLAMA_TTS_THREADS=8`), on a machine that also serves frank-dragoon and frank-zealot. Five of those is ~40 GiB and forty threads competing with two LLM endpoints for the same cores. `scripts/open-notebook.env:87-88` sets both to 1: one episode at a time, one voice line at a time. Upstream's own guidance is the same direction ("Set 1 for a local model on a single GPU", "Lower it … for rate-limited or single-threaded TTS servers").
The clock next to it: `ESPERANTO_TTS_TIMEOUT` (`:91`) is patience **per dialogue line**, not per episode — a three-minute episode is dozens of separate POSTs, and the tail of a long turn on a CPU engine goes past upstream's 300 s default. It is set to **660, one round-trip outside `SHIM_TIMEOUT=600`** in `scripts/frank-tts.env` (frank-tts's own per-request ceiling): nested budgets go inside-out — the same rule that file states for `LLAMA_TIMEOUT` — so a frank-tts give-up arrives labelled as frank-tts's error instead of the worker's own timeout, and re-measuring frank-tts cannot silently strand this number below it. An abandoned request does not cancel the engine process; it only strands the episode in "generating".
## Secrets, and the difference between blank and unset
`OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD` unset means **authentication off** (`environment-reference.md:46`) — every API route, including the episode-audio download, answers anyone who can reach the published port. That is a real exposure on a LAN-published service with no vhost and no guard chain in front of it, which is why `deploy_open_notebook` refuses to start either unit unless the seeded host file carries a value for all four secret keys (`OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, `OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD`, `SURREAL_PASSWORD`, `SURREAL_PASS`). `OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY` is separately load-bearing: it is **required to save any provider credential**, and changing it later makes stored keys undecryptable (`:44`).
The tracked file declares the secrets **empty** and the host file supplies them; podman applies `--env-file` arguments in order and the last one wins (verified against the generated `ExecStart` line, 2026-10-18). Reordering the two `EnvironmentFile=` lines in a unit would blank every credential — that is the trap the seam's ordering assertion exists for.
The database has the same trap in a different spelling: the app reads `SURREAL_PASSWORD`, the `surreal` CLI reads `SURREAL_PASS` (its `start --help` prints `[env: SURREAL_PASS=]`; measured against the pinned digest). One value, written twice, by the seed function — so the pair cannot be given different root passwords. Both arrive through the environment, **not** through `Exec=`: `--pass` on the command line would put the database password in `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`, readable by any `ps` on the host. Measured with the pinned image: env-only credentials produce `Initialising credentials user=…`, the root user is created on first boot, a correct login authenticates and a wrong password is refused — no `--user`/`--pass` flags needed, and no `--bind` either, because the image's own `SURREAL_BIND=0.0.0.0:8000` is what makes the RPC reachable from another container at all.
## Episode destination: interim, and reversible (issue #7)
**Episode files currently exist in two places by design.** The app's own state stays in the `open-notebook-data` named volume; finished audio additionally lands on the host, because `/home/dank/media/podcasts` is bind-mounted over `/app/data/podcasts` (`open-notebook.container:88`). That is the **interim** answer to where episodes live: the destination is an open decision tracked as **Gitea issue #7, labelled `human-only` — agents must not work it.** Until Frank settles it, episode MP3s are ordinary files in his home directory, readable without `podman unshare`, which the database volume would require (measured with the pinned SurrealDB image).
Reversibility is one line: delete the `Volume=/home/dank/media/podcasts:/app/data/podcasts` line and the episodes go back to living solely inside the named volume. Nothing else in the config assumes the bind. See [[Storage Policy]] for the repo's storage conventions this interim state deliberately bends.
## Deploying, and the digest-pull step
```bash
# on Dankclaw, as dank — the pins are Pull=never, so fetch them first
podman pull docker.io/surrealdb/surrealdb:v2@sha256:e5d7387e3727bbe2f7cd6d869e48cd34777272258572ead37c9656b25f745723
podman pull docker.io/lfnovo/open_notebook:v1-latest@sha256:54b2025a4a4853c188f74b9b8246eca8c5480e5dd1babfa92db1038ff2f30212
```
`deploy_open_notebook` runs the same two pulls when the image is absent from local storage, so the manual step is only needed to pre-seed an offline host or to bump a pin. Then `scripts/deploy.sh --target dankclaw --service open-notebook`. Both `Pull=never` and the pin comment live in the unit files; upgrading means **editing the digest**, not repulling a tag — see [[Deployment Flow]].
## Rollback
- **Nothing deployed (today's state):** revert the commits. There is no host state to undo — no unit, no container, no volume, no `/home/dank/media/podcasts` directory beyond what the deployer would create.
- **Deployed:** `systemctl --user stop open-notebook.service open-notebook-surrealdb.service`, then move the three files (`open-notebook.container`, `open-notebook-surrealdb.container`, `open-notebook.network`) out of `~/.config/containers/systemd/` into `~/.AGENTTRASH/` — never `rm` — and `systemctl --user daemon-reload`. The generated units disappear with their sources.
- **Kept on purpose:** the `open-notebook-data` and `open-notebook-db` named volumes and `/home/dank/media/podcasts`. Episode audio and the notebook database are user data; removing them is a separate, deliberate act, and episode files are host files precisely so they can outlive the container.
- **Homepage:** the card is `wip: "down"` + `showLink: false`, so retiring the service needs no card surgery beyond setting it back to that state.

The `pass_ip` list holds loopback (`127.0.0.1/32`, `::1`), the whole homelab LAN (`192.168.0.0/24`), and the host's private podman/slirp ranges (`10.88.0.0/16`, `10.89.0.0/16`) — `shared/searxng/limiter.toml:54-60`. An IP in `pass_ip` skips every bot-detection check, including the rate limiter: ip_lists "outranks every other method" (`limiter.toml:41-45`). `deploy.sh` copies the file into place on each deploy (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:208-211`).

Why so many ranges: rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits. A request to the published port reaches the container with a slirp/bridge source (`10.88.x`/`10.89.x`), never the real client IP. Only Caddy's `X-Forwarded-For` restores it. So a local subagent that hits the port directly must present a `pass_ip` source, or it is treated as an untrusted client. All these ranges are reachable only from the host or the LAN, never the internet. Why so many ranges: rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits.

## Why loopback-only publishing ## Why loopback-only publishing
Seerr is browser-facing; the only sanctioned user path is the guard chain (Caddy → Anubis → Authentik SSO). `PublishPort=127.0.0.1:5055:5055` keeps the app off the LAN entirely while still letting the homepage probe agent and host-local checks reach it — the same loopback convention as other guarded hosts (see [[Homepage Design Grilling]]).

There is no health endpoint to point at: measured on 2026-10-18, `GET http://127.0.0.1:5055/` answers **307** (redirect into the app) and `GET /api/v1/version` answers **404** — Seerr does not expose that path, so do not wire it as a health probe. The homepage card probes `127.0.0.1:5055` and is marked `wip: "down"`, which is why the card stays hidden while the container is up.

## UID mapping gotcha ## UID mapping gotcha
The container runs as `node` (uid 1000 in-image — `podman top seerr user uid` 2026-10-18). Rootless podman's mapping on this host is `0 → 1000 (size 1)`, `1 → 100000 (size 65536)` (`/proc/<pid>/uid_map` of the running container; `podman unshare cat /proc/self/uid_map` agrees), i.e. container uid N ≥ 1 → host uid `100000 + N - 1`, so uid 1000 → **100999**. That is the owner the data tree actually carries: `ls -n /home/dank/Containers/seerr/data` shows `100999 100999` on `db/`, `logs/` and the files the app writes (2026-10-18). The first deploy chowned the data dir to 100999 + 1 (= 101000) and crash-looped with `EACCES mkdir /app/config/logs`. Rule: read the real mapping from a running container's `/proc/<pid>/uid_map` before chowning bind roots for non-root images. The container runs as `node` (uid 1000 in-image).

This stack uses Alloy from day one: no Promtail config or unit has ever existed in this repository (`git log -S promtail` over the whole history returns no commit that added one; the compose-era service of the same name was already Alloy — `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alloy.container:6-7`).

## Configuration ## Configuration
`shared/alloy/config.alloy` is the source of truth: `shared/alloy/config.alloy` is the source of truth:
- Reads journald logs from the host's `/run/systemd/journal/socket`, labelled `job="systemd-journal"` (`shared/alloy/config.alloy:20-26`). - Reads journald logs from the host's `/run/systemd/journal/socket`.
- Reads container logs from two globs: `/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/*/userdata/ctr.log` (`job="podman"`) and `/var/log/containers/*.log` (`job="containers"`) (`config.alloy:29-35`). - Reads container logs from `/var/lib/containers/storage/...` (podman).
- Forwards everything to `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push` by container name on `dankclaw_default` (`config.alloy:13-17`). - Forwards to Loki with `job` labels.

## The UI port is published on purpose ## The UI port is published on purpose
Alloy's UI listens on the container's own `127.0.0.1:12345` by default, and Alloy 1.x refuses to configure the `ui` service from a config block ("service ui does not support being configured", `shared/alloy/config.alloy:8-10`). Under compose that meant **no reachable health endpoint at all**: the homepage status card for alloy read `down` continuously and a deploy had nothing to wait on. The unit therefore passes `--server.http.listen-addr=0.0.0.0:12345` (`dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alloy.container:46`) and publishes `127.0.0.1:12345` (`alloy.container:47`, confirmed by `ss -ltnp` 2026-10-18) — same posture as the other three: reachable from the host and from Caddy's network, and from nothing off-host. Alloy has no authentication, which is exactly why it is not published wider. The homepage card probes that same loopback port (`shared/homepage/services.json:233`). Alloy's UI listens on the container's own `127.0.0.1:12345` by default, and Alloy 1.x refuses to configure the `ui` service from a config block ("service ui does not support being configured").

Alloy has no authentication, which is exactly why it is not published wider.
## Delivery state (2026-10-18): healthy, shipping nothing
The unit is `active`, the container reports `healthy`, the log says `Alloy is ready`, and the pipeline carries no data at all. Measured on 2026-10-18:
- `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:12345/metrics` → `loki_source_journal_target_lines_total{component_id="loki.source.journal.journal"} 0` and `loki_source_file_files_active_total{component_id="loki.source.file.containers"} 0`. The journal source logs no error; the counter simply never moves. The journal files it would have to read through the `/var/log` bind are `root:systemd-journal 0640` with an ACL (`ls -l /var/log/journal/64a287d7…/` 2026-10-18).
- Both file globs were refused at start (`journalctl --user -u alloy`, 2026-10-18T08:25:27Z), verbatim: `failed to create source, skipping … component_id=loki.source.file.containers error="failed to tail file, stat failed: stat /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/*/userdata/ctr.log: permission denied"` and the same message for `/var/log/containers/*.log: no such file or directory`.
- Downstream that means Loki holds zero streams — `GET /loki/api/v1/labels` returns `{"status":"success"}` with no `data` — see [[Loki]].
No fix is claimed here: the unit, the config and the push endpoint are all correct as written, and the gap is source-side access (and a Kubernetes-style glob that does not exist on this host). Anyone closing it should re-check the two counters above, not the health status — health is exactly what hides this failure mode.

Caddy is the single reverse proxy for both hosts. It runs as a boot-persistent quadlet container (`caddy.service`) on Dankclaw (192.168.0.143), terminates TLS with real Let's Encrypt certificates, routes hostnames to containers on both hosts, and gates the guarded vhosts through the two-tier chain — Anubis bot-challenge first, then Authentik — rather than through HTTP basic auth (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:14-24`).

Everything else authenticates, not basicauth. The guarded set — `www.` (homepage), `search.`, `grafana.`, `prometheus.`, `loki.`, `seerr.`, `marreta.`, `romm.`, `files.` — proxies **all** traffic to `anubis:8923`, which verifies the client and forwards it back to Caddy's internal listener `http://:8016`; Authentik's proxy-provider mode serves the login inline (this build exposes **no** `forward_auth` endpoint) and forwards authenticated traffic to `http://:8017`, where the request is routed straight to its app (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:14-24,283-423`). The exempt-by-construction set never enters that chain: `auth.` (the IdP itself), `ai.` and `gitea.` (own logins), `hermes.` and `hermesadmin.` (app-enforced passwords), `pihole.` (the basicauth edge above), and the media/*arr vhosts. Grafana left basicauth on 2026-09-01 and is an OAuth2 relying party against Authentik (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:122-132`). See [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]]. The homepage (and SearXNG, Hermes, Prometheus, RomM, Copyparty) use `forward_auth` (Authentik SSO) rather than basicauth; see [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]]. The basicauth hash above is still rendered for the vhosts that keep it (Grafana, Pi-hole).

It ships in `dankclaw/loki/Containerfile:29-30` as an exec-form `HEALTHCHECK` instead, probing `http://localhost:3100/ready` (which is why the image carries busybox, and why the build must pass `--format docker` — the OCI image format has no `HEALTHCHECK` field and silently drops it: `dankclaw/loki/Containerfile:13-17`, `scripts/deploy-remote.sh:558-562`). The deployer waits on the same endpoint through the published loopback, `curl http://127.0.0.1:3100/ready` (`deploy-remote.sh`, the `loki)` case of `deploy_observability`), and `podman ps` reports the container `healthy` (2026-10-18).

## Log Shipping ## Log Shipping
The [[Alloy]] agent on Dankclaw is wired to ship container and journal logs to `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push` (`shared/alloy/config.alloy:13-17`) — by container name on the `dankclaw_default` network, never through the vhost (a non-browser client cannot solve the Anubis challenge). **Nothing arrives today:** Alloy's own counters read zero lines read and zero files tailed, with both file globs refused at start (`journalctl --user -u alloy` 2026-10-18); see [[Alloy]] → "Delivery state".

## Contents (2026-10-18): healthy, empty
The service answers and the API works; there is simply no data in it. Measured on 2026-10-18:
- `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3100/loki/api/v1/labels` → `{"status":"success"}` with no `data` key (no label names exist), and a 7-day `query_range` on `{job="systemd-journal"}` returns `"result":[]`.
- `du -sh /opt/loki/data` → a few hundred KB of directory scaffolding (`wal`,
`chunks`, `compactor`, `tsdb-shipper-active`, `tsdb-shipper-cache`) —
`find /opt/loki/data -type f` counted **8 files**, all WAL segments,
cluster-seed and delete-request bookkeeping, **no chunk objects**
(2026-10-18; the byte total drifts as the WAL rolls, so it is not a
useful invariant — the file census is).
- Prometheus-side health is green: the `loki` job scrapes `loki:3100/metrics` and reports up (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:57-61`), and the homepage card probes `127.0.0.1:3100` (`shared/homepage/services.json:207`).
So "30-day retention" is a policy that has never had anything to delete, and no page should describe log history as available. The cause is upstream of Loki — the shipper ships nothing — and no fix is claimed here; the check that matters is a label query, not `/ready`.

## Why it is the one LAN listener ## Why it is the one LAN listener
Every other observability service publishes a port on loopback. This one runs in the host network namespace instead, and netavark DNATs only *published* ports — so a bridge container cannot reach a host-netns bind at the host's LAN address, and the exporter has to be reachable at an address the consumers can actually dial: Every other observability service publishes on loopback. This one cannot:
- **Prometheus** runs in a container on `dankclaw_default` and scrapes `host.containers.internal:9100` (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:37-39`) — the gateway address netavark delivers a bridge container's host-bound dial to. It does **not** scrape `192.168.0.143:9100`; that address is refused by construction from this container, the same rule that sends `frank-dragoon` and `frank-zealot` to the gateway. `node-dankserver` is a different machine, so its LAN address is used (`prometheus.yml:41-43`). - **Prometheus** runs in a container on the `dankclaw_default` network and cannot reach the host's loopback address, so it needs the host's LAN IP; `shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml` scrapes `192.168.0.143:9100` under the `node-dankclaw` job.
- **The homepage status timer** runs on the host and probes `127.0.0.1:9100` (`shared/homepage/services.json:220`). - **The homepage status timer** runs on the host and probes `127.0.0.1:9100`.

`/health` 200 the whole time. Cause: llama.cpp answers **501 Not Implemented**
on `/metrics` unless the server is started with `--metrics`, so the scrape was
refused at the protocol layer and `LlmEndpointDown` (critical) stayed firing:
the relay re-sent it on the 4 h `repeat_interval` for days (`journalctl --user
-u signal-relay` — firing sends at 01:37, 05:42, 09:47, 13:52, 17:57 and 22:02
on 2026-10-12). It finally resolved at `2026-10-18T01:53:21-07:00`, after the
`METRICS=1` knob added to `scripts/frank-zealot.env` that day; the target
reports up since (`curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/v1/targets` 2026-10-18).
How many payload generations it spanned is not readable from any host
artifact. *(unverified 2026-10-18)*
Two laws fall out of it. A target can read down beside a healthy service, so
read `lastError` from `/api/v1/targets` before believing an outage. And rule
state lives in Prometheus' process, not on disk — a restart re-stamps
`activeAt` on a long-standing alert, so a "fresh" alert after a reboot is not
evidence of a fresh fault. (Alertmanager by contrast **does** persist:
`--storage.path=/alertmanager` on a host volume keeps silences and the
notification log — `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alertmanager.container:39-42`,
`/opt/alertmanager/data`.)
Remaining known downs are the structural ones above (HTML-scraped probes, Gitea
metrics, ComfyUI), and halogen serves `/metrics` natively, which is why
`frank-dragoon` has always been green. The active-alert count is a
moment-in-time value and should never be documented as a constant:
`/api/v1/alerts` was empty at the 2026-10-18 morning census, held one firing
`LlmPrefixCacheCollapse` (`activeAt` 11:10:48Z, value 2.6e-4) when sampled
minutes later, and was empty again by 11:56Z; the relay logged the matching
firing and resolved sends at `04:26:21-07:00` and `04:41:21-07:00`.
**What that zealot scrape measured on 2026-10-18.** As of ~04:30 PDT the
production `frank-zealot` root unit was stopped **on purpose** for a benchmark
window on the 3090 — the repo Benchmarking Policy says stop the production
service before benching — and `:7771` answered from a manually booted candidate
arm (`systemctl is-active frank-zealot` → `failed` after
`stop-sigterm timed out. Killing`, which is llama.cpp ignoring SIGTERM past
`TimeoutStopSec`, the known shutdown shape for these engines). So
`up{job="frank-zealot"} == 1` that day measured the trial, not the production
shape in `scripts/frank-zealot.env` (Ternary-Bonsai-27B-PQ2_0, `CTX_SIZE=401408
PARALLEL=2` = 2 × 200,704 per slot, q8_0 K+V), which remains the repo contract.
The unit stayed `enabled`; `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-zealot`
reinstalls and starts it, restoring boot persistence and self-healing. Never
quote a candidate arm's flags or VRAM as fleet state — the process and its shape
changed between two censuses ten minutes apart.

# Observability on Dankclaw
## Summary
Six containers and one host-side process: Prometheus (metrics), Grafana
(dashboards), Loki (log store), Alloy (log shipper), node-exporter (host
metrics) and Alertmanager (alert delivery), with `signal-relay` on the host
carrying every firing group to Signal. All of it is Quadlet-managed,
boot-persistent and loopback-only, deployed by
`scripts/deploy-remote.sh` → `deploy_observability`. The metrics half works
end to end; the log half is configured, healthy, and carries no data.
This body was rewritten on 2026-10-18 from live evidence: the previous version
was deleted down to its front matter by commit `93d1181` (the "OKF v0.1
compliance pass"), while sibling pages kept pointing at a "state note" on this
page that no longer existed. Every statement below carries the command or file
that proves it today.
## The stack

| Signal relay | host `python3`, not a container | `192.168.0.143:18093` | `scripts/signal-relay.service` (user unit) | [[Alertmanager]] |
Every unit lives in `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/`, carries
`Restart=always`/`RestartSec=10` and `WantedBy=default.target`, is installed at
`~/.config/containers/systemd/<name>.container`, and reports `generated` +
`active` (`systemctl --user is-enabled|is-active` for all six, 2026-10-18;
linger is on for `dank`). `signal-relay.service` reports `enabled` + `active`
the same day, and `homepage-status.timer` — the root unit that probes all of
these on loopback — is `enabled` + `active` (`deploy-remote.sh:319-321` copies
the probe registry `shared/homepage/services.json` to `/srv/homepage`).
Dankserver runs one member of this family, node-exporter, as its own unit
(`dankserver/observability/quadlet/node-exporter.container`, `generated` +
`active`, binding `127.0.0.1:9100` + `192.168.0.235:9100`).
## Exposure
The five HTTP surfaces publish on `127.0.0.1` only — `ss -ltnp` (2026-10-18)
shows `127.0.0.1:9090`, `127.0.0.1:9093`, `127.0.0.1:3002`, `127.0.0.1:3100`,
`127.0.0.1:12345` and no wildcard — because each of them is unauthenticated
inside, and several carry lifecycle or query APIs. Browser access goes through
Caddy: each vhost (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:128-145`) proxies to the guard
`anubis:8923`, and the post-auth handlers route by container name on
`dankclaw_default` — `loki.franksdank.cloud` → `loki:3100` (`:364-366`),
`grafana.franksdank.cloud` → `grafana:3000` (`:374-376`),
`prometheus.franksdank.cloud` → `prometheus:9090` (`:379-381`).
Alertmanager has no vhost at all. node-exporter is the exception that must live
in the host network namespace, and it binds exactly two addresses rather than
the wildcard — see [[Node-Exporter]].
The relay's bind is the one address a bridge container can reach on the host:
`192.168.0.143:18093`, with iptables INPUT admitting loopback, the host itself
and the podman bridge subnet `10.89.0.0/16` before the DROP
(`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:255-262`).
## Deployment
`./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service <name>` runs `deploy_observability`,
which installs the unit, copies that service's config
(`copy_prometheus_config`, `copy_alertmanager_config`, `copy_loki_config`,
`copy_alloy_config`, `copy_grafana_provisioning`, plus
`install_signal_relay` with the alertmanager deploy), then waits on the loopback
health endpoint (`/prometheus`: `/-/healthy`, `/alertmanager`: `/-/healthy`,
`/grafana`: `/api/health`, `/loki`: `/ready`, `/alloy`: `/-/healthy`,
`/node-exporter`: `/metrics`). Startup order follows the data dependencies —
`grafana` after `prometheus`, `alloy` after `loki`
(`grafana.container:32-33`, `alloy.container:38-39`). See
[[Observability Provisioning]] for what is provisioned as code and how to
verify it through the APIs.
## Current state (2026-10-18)
* **Metrics: working.** `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/v1/targets` reports
eight up targets; the four downs are structural (the `comfyui` and `services`
HTML probes, and Gitea's disabled metrics endpoint), not outages. Rule set:
4 alert rules + 2 recording rules (`/api/v1/rules`, matching
`shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml`).
* **Delivery: working.** Alertmanager's single `signal` receiver webhooks the
relay, and `journalctl --user -u signal-relay` records successful
`sent to +12062476336:` lines for every rule in the set.
* **Dashboards: working.** One provisioned Prometheus datasource (uid
`prometheus`) and the `llm-fleet` dashboard, both installed from
`shared/grafana/provisioning/`.
* **Logs: configured, empty.** Alloy ships zero lines (journal counter 0, both
file globs refused) and Loki therefore holds zero streams — `/opt/loki/data`
is a few hundred KB of WAL/compactor bookkeeping with **no chunk files**
(8 files total by `find`, 2026-10-18) and `GET /loki/api/v1/labels` returns
no label names.
See [[Alloy]] → Delivery state and [[Loki]] → Contents.
* **Not configured:** no Loki datasource in Grafana, no blackbox exporter (the
structural downs have no real uptime signal), no Alertmanager vhost.

**`frank-zealot` reads up since 2026-10-18, and did not before.** llama.cpp answers **501 Not Implemented** on `/metrics` unless started with `--metrics`; the endpoint had no such flag, so `up{job="frank-zealot"}` was 0 across the whole retained history (the oldest sample, 2026-10-11, is already 0) while the service answered `/health` 200 the whole time. The `METRICS=1` knob in `scripts/frank-zealot.env` is the fix, and the target is up as measured 2026-10-18. Read `lastError` before believing an outage: a target can read down beside a healthy service.

## Overview ## Overview
Dankserver has **no NVIDIA GPU**: the RTX 3090 left the box on 2026-09-15 and the host now runs two AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700s (`lspci | grep -ci nvidia` → 0, read 2026-10-18 — [[Dankserver System Specs]]). This page's vLLM-era hybrid guidance is reference material, not the serving path: the live service is radiance 1.0.13 as `frank-archon`, and its hybrid mechanism is a pinned host pool (43.88 GiB per rank, `scripts/frank-archon.env:184`) plus the CPU-resident 47.68 GiB n-gram/PLE table, not vLLM KV swapping ([[frank-archon-radiance-qwen38-iq4r]]). Dankserver uses NVIDIA GPU with system RAM for hybrid processing. vLLM splits model weights onto GPU and moves KV cache between GPU VRAM and system RAM. This allows larger models to run on GPUs with limited VRAM.
## Architecture ## Architecture
### Model Weights ### Model Weights
In the setup this page describes, model weights stay on GPU and the GPU must hold all parameters. As a statement about vLLM it is no longer true: current vLLM ships CPU weight offload as `cpu_offload_gb`, plus the grouped prefetch path (`offload_group_size`) — `vllm/config/offload.py:23,54` ([source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vllm-project/vllm/main/vllm/config/offload.py), read 2026-10-18). What remains true is the capacity arithmetic: offloaded weights cost PCIe traffic per token (see [[PCIe Link and Atomics]] §2). Model weights stay on GPU. vLLM loads the entire model into GPU memory. You cannot offload model weights to CPU. The GPU must hold all model parameters.
