comments: replace law idiom with the mechanism it encoded

Every comment that cited a named law, an incident date, or an
internal nickname now states the underlying mechanism and why it
matters, generically: curl exit-0 artifacts and byte-count gates,
argv-in-/proc secret exposure, tag mutability vs digest pinning,
shape-specialized kernels refusing uncompiled slot counts, MTP heads
as file tensors no flag can supply, drafter/slot coupling as an
engine property, pkill -f matching its invoker, pinned-RAM pairing
with LimitMEMLOCK, one-encoding-per-table, the short-run first-token
noise floor, and the protected-expert rule. No behavior change:
comment/string text only; suite green (371 tests).

-# COMPANION LAW (read this before shipping the new checkpoint): the current
-# release publishes ONLY the main file. Its card states plainly that the
-# interchangeability of the stock peonist companions with this native
-# conversion "has NOT been established" — the source-derived n-gram would be
-# 51,200,246,084 B while peonist's stock table is 51,200,246,144 B (60 B
-# apart, so whole-file identity cannot be assumed), and the source-derived
-# vision file is the same size as stock but equal size is not proof of equal
-# 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
-# historical r2 recipe pinned, and what the engine's own table-mismatch
-# check gets to judge at boot. This script therefore hardlinks the verified
-# peonist trio (a hardlink is a REGULAR file, so the serve gate's
-# no-symlink law holds and 47.7 GiB is not copied), verifies every byte, and

-## The payload

-sha256 `0af5e96244e80c21ac8edca1719dae49b8a201b94a2f3994c3e24026ceaa4d20`

-card, LICENSE, and recipe `qwen4exp-w4nl64-i8-hc8m` as provenance).
-
-| Plane | Encoding (publisher recipe `qwen4exp-w4nl64-i8-hc8m`) |
-| --- | --- |
-| Routed experts | 4-bit codes into a 16-level **non-uniform** codebook after a 128-point Walsh–Hadamard rotation, one E4M3 scale per 64 weights; codes by GPTQ (10M-token calibration, per-expert down-proj Hessians) + 3 coordinate-descent sweeps |
-| Protected experts | **ten** per layer, whole-expert bf16 (down-projection energy) |
-| Trunk + lm_head | int8 W8A8, scale per 128 columns searched; HC mixtures E4M3 |
-| PLE n-gram | fp8 fixed-scale, in-container (served `--ngram-placement ram`, same 47.7 GiB pin law) |
-| Speculator | the model's own MTP head (card default depth 3; served at 2) |
-| Vision | bf16 vision tower, in-container |
-
-**Base model: the OFFICIAL (censored) Qwen3.8-Flash-Next** — the fleet's
-only frontier model at base alignment; the abliterated family lives on
-frank-dragoon. Card quality: full-vocab teacher-forced KL vs bf16 over
-~75K positions — mean 0.0789 all-tokens / 0.0239 assistant turns, top-1
-agreement 92.85 %.
-
-## Why this swap
-
-- **Publisher-graded precision**: the w4nl codebook + coordinate-descent
-  refinement is the engine author's own quality ceiling for this
-  checkpoint; the card's KL ladder (p99 1.65, p99.9 5.33) is published and
-  reproducible, where our w4dn8 gate measured against our own reference.
-- **Formal parity**: the served file is the one the engine author supports
-  — decode/prefill behavior on 1.0.13 is their tested path (the card's run
-  line speaks the 1.0.13-era flags; the `--vram-weights-mib`/`--vram-kv-mib`
-  pair we ship is accepted by pin 1.0.13 per the 2026-10-06 A/B, so the
-  shape needed no translation).
-- **Cost**: the Swift1.5 finetune's refusal-bending behavior leaves this
-  endpoint (it returns to the official base alignment); the 4-slot/200k
-  economics and all shape laws carry over unchanged.
-
-## Shape (unchanged from 2026-10-13)
-
-All of it, verbatim — the payload moved 116,416 → 116,322 MiB, inside the
-same budget:
-
-- `--tp 2 --tp-wire wht6`, `--max-num-seqs 3`, `--max-model-len 200000`
-  (capacity contract 3 × 200,000), `--kv-cache-dtype fp8`
-- `--placement expert_tiered --host-pool-mib 44928` + explicit
-  `--vram-weights-mib 25600 --vram-kv-mib 5120` (30,720 of the engine's
-  30,969 MiB ceiling; pool = contract + 1.3 %)
-- `--num-speculative-tokens 2`, `--max-num-batched-tokens 2048`
-  (MNBT 2048 law), prefix cache 8 GiB host + 64 GiB disk,
-  `--ngram-placement ram`, froggeric v22.5 `--override-chat-template`
-- TTM preflight floor 150,000 / target 204,800 MiB; pinned ledger
-  2 × 44 GiB pool + 47.7 GiB PLE + 8 GiB prefix ≈ 147 GiB (see
-  [[frank-archon-radiance-swift15-w4dn8]] for the ledger arithmetic and
-  the KV dtype law — both are engine properties, payload-independent)
-
-The publisher's card run line (`--host-pool-mib 12288`,
-`--expert-vs-cache-ratio 0.82`, seqs 8, spec 3, ~32 GB host RAM) is their
-shape on stock 32 GB cards; the fleet ships its own measured shape against
-the same file.
-
-## Cutover record — 2026-10-15
-
-1. `rm` (Frank's one-time authorization): the raw
-   `ukisai/Swift1.5-Qwen3.8-Flash-Next` BF16 checkpoint (336 GiB, spent
-   conversion source) and `qwen4exp-fp8-native.rad` (173 GiB, two eras
-   back) left `/home/dank/models` — 150 GB free → 658 GB free. The fp8-native
-   payload is **no longer on disk**: rebuild =
-   `scripts/download-frank-archon.sh` + `scripts/build-frank-archon-rad.sh`.
-2. Fetch: `scripts/download-frank-archon-iq4r.sh --fetch` as transient unit
-   `iq4r-fetch` (detached-job protocol; log
-   `/home/dank/logs/iq4r-fetch.log`, rc sentinel `…rc`).
-3. Deploy: `scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service frank-archon` — launched
-   detached (the swap restarts the very endpoint the operator session runs
-   on; the harness timeout catches the session on return).
-4. **Boot ledger (2026-10-15, first boot, pin 1.0.13 — the w4nl codebook
-   loaded, no pin bump)**: `kv_attn` fp8 page **26.00 KiB** at **607,740
-   tokens** (151,935 blocks = 3.77 GiB) — byte-identical to the w4dn8 boot,
-   the sizing law carries; `kv_qsa_bkey` 3.25 KiB at the same token count;
-   `kv_gdn_state` 54 MiB × 6 slots, `kv_gdn_conv` 1.76 MiB × 3,
-   `kv_qsa_tail` 19.5 KiB × 6; pool **5.00 GiB**, prefix checkpoints 8 ×
-   56 MiB; the sizing line reads `kv cache 5.00 GiB … backs 3 sequences all
-   at 200000 tokens at once, which is the worst case`; samplers print **9
-   rows** per rank (3 × (1+2), inside the wht6 25-row bound);
-   `speculation: 'mtp' drafts 2 token(s) a step in 2 serial pass(es)` +
-   prompt-lookup fallback; slab **17,610 (rank0) / 17,658 (rank1) slots**
-   (64 shadow) — above the w4dn8 record of 17,548 (ten bf16-protected
-   experts per layer replace twenty-four, so more of the 4-bit table
-   resides), pinned pool 7,532/7,484 slots; KV lending **4.22 GiB**
-   (3,571/3,568 mover slots); arenas 896.02/988.17 MiB charged before the
-   pair split; prefix cache RECOVERED 900,176 blocks + 126 checkpoint slots
-   from the 64 GiB disk tier (same arch + tokenizer as w4dn8 — the tier
-   survived the payload swap); froggeric template 28,234 B; vision encoder
-   live (≤ 4,194,304 px, 16,384 patches/pass). Health gate passed in ~100 s
-   (radiance binds the port after the full load).
-5. **Vision probe (2026-10-15)**: 300 px solid-red PNG via `image_url` —
-   reasoning stream: "a solid fill of a deep, saturated red hue". Content
-   came back EMPTY at `max_tokens 64`: the thinking budget consumed all 64
-   (`reasoning_tokens: 64`, finish `length`) — fleet law, probe thinking
-   models with ≥ a few hundred tokens.
-6. **e2e gate**: deploy exited DEPLOY INCOMPLETE — 30/33 Playwright green,
-   3 red (`12-crawl`, `13-sso` search SSO, `16-marreta`) on DANKCLAW
-   surfaces (vhosts intermittently returned `ERR_CONNECTION_RESET` from the
-   workstation); frank-archon's own health gate passed. The swap touched no
-   dankclaw runtime file (only homepage services.json text). Census of the
-   Caddy/auth stack pending; see `log.md`.
-7. **Post-boot measurements (pending)**: decode ladder (99.0 t/s single
-   @ 43.5k, 93.3 @ 197k, 3-way 113.9/43.3/10.9 = 18.4 t/s aggregate —
-   these are the **w4dn8** numbers, the record to beat, not this file's),
-   slab-limited prefill (22208/3,397 → 25600/3,584 t/s A-cold 43.5k), draft
-   acceptance, and `scripts/probe-frank-archon-kv.py` leg D.

-# frank-dragoon — halogen-flash-server 0.16.2, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next v2 NATIVE abliterated (Dankclaw, Strix Halo iGPU)
-
-**ACTIVE since 2026-10-17.** Rollback = revert the swap commit and redeploy
-(`scripts/frank-dragoon.env`, `scripts/serve-frank-dragoon.sh`,
-`scripts/frank-dragoon.service`); the Swift1.5 payload stays on disk at
-`/home/dank/models/halogen-flashnext-v2/` (its fetch script
-`scripts/download-frank-dragoon-flashnext.sh` stays the door back), and the
-27B-era payload beside that at `/home/dank/models/halogen-qwen3.8-27b/`.
-Era write-up: [[frank-dragoon-flash-server-v2-swift15]].
-
-## Why this payload
-
-Frank's ask: serve
-`https://huggingface.co/Quat3rnion/halogen-qwen3.8-flash-next-v2-abliterated`
-with the card's recommended settings, and **save memory**.
-
-This is the **native 2026-10-11 v2 conversion** of orcarouter's pinned BF16
-Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, abliterated — the base itself, converted straight into
-the v2 `.hgn` format. It is **not** the writer transplant that carried this
-filename before: the artifact measures **66,687,678,432 B** where the
-Swift1.5 r2 measured 66,687,678,464 B — 32 bytes apart, same filename
-family, different model. Byte counts and the Hub LFS sha256 are the only way
-to tell them apart, which is why the fetch script and both gates check them.
-
-What the swap buys, measured (table below): retrieval at depth, decode,
-prefill, and **7.4 GiB of RAM handed back**. What it costs: the Swift1.5
-finetune's compressed reasoning and its small perplexity edge.
-
-## The companion law (the reason this swap needed a referee)
-
-The release publishes **only the main file**. The n-gram lookup table
-(REQUIRED — the engine reads it beside the checkpoint), the vision tower,
-and the tokenizer are peonist's, and the card does **not** establish them as
-interchangeable with this native conversion. No source-matched pair is
-published anywhere, so the only available companions are the stock ones.
-
-They are **hardlinked** out of the verified Swift1.5 payload directory
-(`scripts/download-frank-dragoon-v2abl.sh`): a hardlink is a regular file, so
-it satisfies the serve gate's no-symlink law, and it costs no disk and no
-copy next to a 62 GB payload. The engine's own checkpoint tools are the
-referee, and they answered: **NIAH 18/18** (vs 17/18 for the payload those
-files were published with), needle retrieval exact at both depths, the red-PNG
-vision probe exact, perplexity in the normal band. A wrong PLE table does not
-whisper — see Verification.
-
-## The payload — one new file, three inherited ones

-`scripts/download-frank-dragoon-v2abl.sh` (`-f` + exact byte counts + LFS

-
-The engine stays **halogen-flash-server 0.16.2**, digest-pinned (the card
-tested 0.15.0; 0.16.2 is newer in the same line and is what the v2 format was
-qualified on in this fleet):

-
-## Shape — the card's settings, and the three deliberate deviations
-
-`HALOGEN_CTX=262144` (per-request ceiling), `HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS=2`,
-**`HALOGEN_KV_POOL_POSITIONS=262144`** (the card's recommendation, and the
-memory saving), `HALOGEN_SPEC_ADAPT=0`, `HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192`,
-`HALOGEN_MAX_TOKENS_CAP=65536` + `HALOGEN_QUEUE_TIMEOUT=7200` (coupled pair),
-sampler `1.0 / 0.95 / 20`, `HALOGEN_WEIGHTS_LOCK=1`,
-`HALOGEN_HOST_RESERVE_GIB=20`.
-
-Deviations from the card, each on purpose:
-
-- `HALOGEN_MODEL_ID=frank-dragoon`, not the card's `halogen-v2-abliterated` —
-  the fleet naming law (service = unit = served id).
-- `HALOGEN_SPEC_ADAPT=0` — the card is silent; this is a measured 0.16.2 law
-  (the adaptive default disables the drafter per request and halves decode).
-- the sampler values are peonist's engine recipe; Quat3rnion publishes none.
-
-**The pool is one budget, not a partition.** Boot ledger: `listening on
-127.0.0.1:8730, 2 slots over ONE 262144-position KV pool, each request up to
-262144`. The per-request ceiling is unchanged, so the harness contract
-(`contextWindow: 217088`) does not move — what changed is that **two
-maximum-length conversations can no longer share the endpoint**. That is
-acceptable here because frank-dragoon carries the `slow` (medium-thinking)
-role and the `security-reviewer` subagent, not the interactive workhorse
-(that is frank-archon).
-
-**Memory ledger** (121.2 GiB unified), from the boot ledger of the live
-candidate: `pinned 62.11 GiB in 1 range(s) in 1.6 s (41.0 GB/s)` trunk,
-`0.84 GiB` vision tower, `reserving the KV pool, 262144 positions (about
-7.2 GiB)`, and the engine's own sum: `memory: 62.9 GiB of weights locked in
-RAM (0.8 of them the vision tower's), 7.2 GiB of KV pool, …`. The n-gram
-table rides as page cache — `mapped 51.2 GB, NOT pinned (Pin::None)` — which
-is exactly why cutting the pool is a *double* saving. FLAGS.md law: **RAM the
-pool takes is RAM that table loses**; the 7.4 GiB the smaller pool hands back
-is page cache for the 47.68 GiB table that long prompts read.
-
-`HALOGEN_FLASH_PIN_TRUNK=0` is **rejected by the v2 loader** — the trunk
-stays pinned. Disk-backing the weights is not a lever on this format.
-
-## Measured A/B — same battery, both boots (2026-10-17)
-
-Behavior probes ran against the live service (tagged `swift15` / `v2abl`);
-the engine tools ran with the service **stopped**, per the fleet benchmarking
-law, under one identical knob set (`scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh`).

-signature of two sound models that disagree on content, and the worst rows
-are date/name completions. A n-gram table mismatched to the checkpoint
-corrupts the forward pass and shows up as elevated KL **everywhere** plus
-degraded retrieval — which NIAH (18/18) and the needle probes rule out.
-
-The decode line needs care: the baseline's own spread was 25.6–46.8 t/s
-because its samples were taken while the 62 GB fetch was still streaming into

-prompts read 32.8 before settling at 50.0/50.2. Honest claim: **no decode

-## Verification — how to reproduce
-
-```
-# 1. payload: bytes + LFS sha256 + the hardlinked trio
-bash scripts/download-frank-dragoon-v2abl.sh --verify-only
-# 2. engine tools on a STOPPED service (fleet law: no GPU experiment beside
-#    a live endpoint; stop the unit first — mask fails on a relinked unit)
-bash scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh verify    # no GPU, safe while serving
-sudo systemctl stop frank-dragoon
-bash scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh ref       # reference dump, old payload
-bash scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh cand      # PPL + KL/top-1 vs that dump
-bash scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh niah-cur  # baseline retrieval
-bash scripts/census-frank-dragoon.sh niah-new  # candidate retrieval
-# 3. boot the candidate through a transient drop-in, then the battery
-bash scripts/trial-frank-dragoon.sh candidate
-python3 scripts/battery-frank-dragoon.py v2abl all
-bash scripts/trial-frank-dragoon.sh restore    # back onto the repo env
-```
-
-The battery needs two staged assets in `/tmp/halogen-eval/` (a 512 px solid
-red PNG as base64, `red512.b64`, and the wikitext-2 raw test split,
-`wikitext-2-raw-test.txt`). Laws it encodes:
-
-- **the engine bills wikitext at ~4.33 characters/token** — the harness
-  chars/4 estimate under-bills by ~8 %, and a prompt over `HALOGEN_CTX` is
-  refused with a 400 that names the exact overage (never truncated). Size
-  haystacks in characters against a **token** budget.
-- the wikitext-2 raw test split as staged joins rows with a **single**
-  newline (2,891 lines, zero blank lines), so a blank-line split returns one
-  1.29 MB "paragraph" and every budget silently becomes "everything".
-- the first request after a boot is a warmup artifact; the battery discards
-  it (`warmup` row) and never measures it.
-- `ppl`/`niah` **load the model** → stopped service. `verify` reads the file
-  back with no GPU and can run while serving.
-
-## Contract (unchanged from the Swift1.5 era)
-
-`reasoning_content` carries the thinking and counts against `max_tokens`
-(≥512-token budget on any vision probe or the endpoint looks blind while it
-is mid-thought); vision via OpenAI `image_url` content parts only, ≥256 px
-probes; `response_format` unsupported; the chat template rejects
-`reasoning_effort` outside `xhigh|medium|low` (the `models.yml` fold stays
-mandatory); unknown sampling params are a 400; the prompt cache is on by
-default, so a warm 100k follow-up costs seconds. See
-[[frank-dragoon-flash-server-v2-swift15]] for the engine-flag detail that
-carries verbatim, and [[deployment]] for the deploy/health gate.

-| Host / device | Dankclaw (192.168.0.143), RTX 3090, 24,576 MiB (24,123 MiB visible to the engine) |
-| Endpoint | `http://192.168.0.143:7771` — served model id **`frank-zealot`** (`ALIAS`), `/v1` OpenAI surface |
-| Runtime | **PrismML fork build** `/home/dank/GitPackages/llama-prism/llama-server` — vendor release, `--version` = `0.2.0-dev (build 10754, commit 2459f68b5)`, sha256 `12ae5baba033d8cd…`. NOT a preference: see *Why the fork* |

-
-## Why the fork — the format is the lock
-
-Read from the file's own metadata, not the model card:
-
-|Key|Value|
-|---|---|
-|`general.architecture`|`qwen35` (hybrid: Gated DeltaNet + softmax attention)|
-|`qwen35.block_count`|64, `full_attention_interval` 4 ⇒ **16 full-attention + 48 DeltaNet layers**|
-|Attention|24 heads / **4 KV heads** × key 256 / value 256; `rope.dimension_sections` [11,11,10,0], `freq_base` 1e7, partial rope `dimension_count` 64|
-|Widths|embedding 5,120, feed-forward 17,408|
-|`qwen35.ssm.*`|conv_kernel 4, state_size 128, group_count 16, **time_step_rank 48**, **inner_size 6,144**|
-|Window / vocab|`context_length` 262,144; vocab 248,320 (gpt2 BPE, pre `qwen35`), eos 248046|
-|`general.file_type`|**141 = PQ2_0 — 2.13 bpw (group 128)**|
-|Tensor histogram|851 tensors: **`pq2_0` ×402** (custom GGML type **142**), f32 ×353, bf16 ×96|
-|`prism.hadamard.*`|transform `normalized-sylvester-walsh-hadamard`, block_size 1024, axis `input-last-dimension`, sign_mode explicit, **401 named weights**, sign widths [5120, 6144, 17408], 28,672 sign values, inverse applied on `token_embd.weight`, `gdn_v_grouped` true|
-|Sampler metadata|`general.sampling.temp` 1.0 / `top_p` 0.95 / `top_k` 20|
-|Chat template|8,952 chars; reads `enable_thinking`, **`reasoning_effort` ∈ {`xhigh` (default), `medium`, `low` — anything else is `raise_exception`**, `preserve_thinking`, `tools`/`tool_call`, image + video content parts|
-
-Stock llama.cpp cannot load this file: type 142 is not in its enum (`gguf-py`'s
-stock `GGMLQuantizationType` raises `ValueError: 142 is not a valid…` on the
-same read), and even a loader that parsed it would ignore the
-`prism.hadamard.*` dequant transform the weights depend on. Same class of lock
-as the ROCmFPX custom-type era. The vendor build 10754 already carries the
-September upstream fixes (AVX-512 load segfault, and a `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS`
--capable CUDA backend — proven by q8_0 V serving under flash attention at the
-correct 34,816 B/token, below).
-
-## VRAM census (2026-10-17, four arms, production stopped)
-
-The engine's own `common_memory_breakdown_print` ledger + settled `nvidia-smi`,
-all arms `--n-gpu-layers 99 --flash-attn on --batch-size 4096 --ubatch-size 2048`,
-mmproj attached:
-
-|Shape|KV|projected `model + context + compute`|settled used / free|verdict|
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-|**2 × 200,704 (pool 401,408)**|**q8_0 / q8_0**|21,439 = 6,539 + 13,627 + 1,272|**22,664 / 1,461**|**DEPLOYED**|
-|2 × 200,704|f16 / f16|33,198 = 6,539 + 25,387 + 1,272|—|`cudaMalloc failed: out of memory` on the **25,088.00 MiB** KV request|
-|1 × 262,144|q8_0 / q8_0|16,905 = 6,539 + 8,853 + 1,512|18,130 / 5,995|fits, but one slot serializes compaction|
-|2 × 262,144|q8_0 / q8_0|≈25,758 (arithmetic, same terms)|—|does not fit (f16 analogue measured 41,118)|
-|2 × 200,704|q4_0 / q4_0|15,167 = 6,539 + 7,355 + 1,272|16,392 / 7,733|the roomy fallback rung|
-
-**KV rate law (confirmed to the MiB):** 16 full layers × 4 KV heads × 256 dim =
-16,384 elements/token/cache; q8_0 bills 17,408 B per cache ⇒ **34,816 B/token**,
-so the 401,408 pool = **13,328.00 MiB** — the ledger printed exactly that
-(`CUDA0 KV buffer size = 13328.00 MiB`). f16 doubles it to 25,088 MiB, which is
-the wall. The 48 DeltaNet layers bill a fixed recurrent state per **slot**:
-context 13,627 − KV 13,328 = **299 MiB for two slots (~150 MiB each)** — pool
-arithmetic alone under-prices the shape by that much.
-
-**The projector is outside the fit check.** `[mtmd] estimated worst-case memory
-usage of mmproj is 873.10 MiB` is printed before fitting but not billed in it:
-settled used (22,664) − projection (21,439) ≈ 1.2 GiB is that projector plus the
-CUDA context. This is the difference between "2.6 GiB free on paper" and the
-real **1.4 GiB** — the same late-allocation failure class that killed the
-DSpark drafter boot in the llama.cpp eras. Any resize must re-read the settled
-`nvidia-smi`, never the projection.
-
-## Measured rates (greedy, `Server-Timing`-free `/completion` `timings`)
-
-|Probe|Result|
-|---|---|
-|Short, warm, single stream (128 tok)|**76.6 t/s** decode (the 9B Q6_K predecessor ran 94.4 — the ternary 27B is ~19 % slower, weight bandwidth + Hadamard dequant)|
-|First request after boot|2.6 t/s prefill / 37.7 t/s decode — **warmup artifact; never report the first request** (measured twice on this payload)|
-|Prefill at ~35k depth|**1,258.4 t/s** (27.8 s)|
-|Prefill at 166,027-token depth|**691.7 t/s** (240.0 s), zero errors, slot intact|
-|Two concurrent streams, 256 tok each|**54.7 + 54.7 = 109.4 t/s aggregate** — `--parallel 2` really batches|
-|Long-context retrieval (25,960-token prompt, needle at position 180 of 300 passages)|exact: *"Frank keeps the fleet in git, only through it."*|
-
-Production boot (the 19:44 cutover deploy, same binary/flags/file): **75.8 t/s**
-single-stream decode at a short prompt — within 1 % of the trial arm, so the
-ladder above carries to the shipped shape.
-
-## Behavior contract (probes, not assumptions)
-
-- **Reasoning** lands in `reasoning_content` (`--reasoning-format deepseek`) ✓.
-- **Tool calls**: a `get_weather` request returns `finish_reason: tool_calls`
-  with `arguments: {"city":"Seattle"}` — valid JSON, no loop, no HTTP 500. The
-  fork's `KNOWN_ISSUES.md` warning about malformed/looping tool calls did not
-  reproduce on build 10754 at this shape.
-- **Vision**: a 512 px solid-red PNG answers **"Red"** — but ONLY with a
-  thinking budget ≥ ~512 tokens. At `max_tokens: 64` the request returns
-  `finish_reason: "length"` with EMPTY `content` and half a thought in
-  `reasoning_content`: thinking tokens count against the budget, so a
-  short-budget vision probe reads as "the model is blind". Images do reach the
-  model (a 512 px image bills ~280 prompt tokens: 322 total vs 42 for the text
-  alone). Keep the ≥256 px probe rule from the earlier eras.
-- **Log noise law**: `/completion` (text context) at `VERBOSITY=4` prints
-  `failed to parse reasoning content (response_format json_schema is currently
-  only supported with parse_reasoning=true), content will be stored in
-  'content' field` (`probe_request.cpp:789`) whenever the model closes a raw
-  prompt with ``. It is **cosmetic** — the full chain of thought
-  is in `content`. The OpenAI `/v1/chat/completions` path parses it into
-  `reasoning_content` correctly, which is the path the harness and every
-  consumer uses. Do not diagnose this as a fault, and do not drop verbosity
-  below 4 — the KV/buffer ledger in the journal is what VRAM forensics read.
-- **Long raw-prompt completions can come back empty**: at ~26k+ tokens a bare
-  `/completion` request generated 0–1 tokens with no error (the model emits an
-  end-of-turn marker immediately, and a text context has no role frame to keep
-  it talking). Chat traffic is unaffected; nothing in the harness posts raw
-  `/completion` at depth.
-
-## Ops notes
-
-- **Trial-window law (cost one boot window on 2026-10-17):** a scratch env file
-  must use the serve script's OWN variable names — `CACHE_TYPE_K`/`CACHE_TYPE_V`,
-  `BIND_ADDR`, `NGL`. An invented `KV_CACHE_TYPE` is silently swallowed by the
-  script's `: "${CACHE_TYPE_K:=f16}"` default and the arm boots **f16**, which
-  for this payload is an OOM that looks like a model problem.
-- **Base alignment:** Bonsai-2 is the BASE (censored) Qwen3.8-27B lineage, so a
-  refusal is possible on a compaction or subagent request. The CRACK re-export
-  (`dealignai/Bonsai-2-27B-Ternary-CRACK-GGUF`, already on disk at
-  `/home/dank/models/Bonsai2-CRACK/Bonsai-2-27B-PQ2_0-CRACK.gguf`, sha256
-  `5b24ea3e…`) is a **one-line `MODEL_FILE` swap**: the header census proves
-  byte-identical geometry — 851 tensors, the same `{142:402, f32:353, bf16:96}`
-  histogram, 64 blocks, vocab 248,320, the same 8,952-char template. The VRAM
-  ledger does not move. If a refusal ever surfaces, that is the fix; there is
-  also an MTP-bearing CRACK re-export upstream
-  (`ManniX-ITA/…-CRACK-MTP-GGUF`, 7,657,489,920 B, +451 MB head) if decode ever
-  needs the drafter — untested here.
-- **Compaction hub unchanged:** all three endpoints still route
-  `compactionModel` here; 200,704 per slot is the fleet's only window that fits
-  a worst-case compaction input, and `--parallel 2` keeps compaction off the
-  critical path of a live generation.
-- **Harness side** (`~/.omp/agent/models.yml`): `contextWindow: 200704` and
-  `maxTokens: 16384` unchanged; `extraBody` now quotes the payload's own
-  1.0 / 0.95 / 20 with `preserve_thinking: true`. The `reasoningEffortMap` fold
-  became **load-bearing** (the template raises on any level outside
-  `xhigh|medium|low`) — an unmapped level is a hard 500 on the role's first
-  request, naming Jinja rather than the model.
-- **Rollback:** revert the swap commit. The Qwen3.5-9B Q6_K payload, its mmproj
-  and the master CUDA build all remain on disk
-  (`/home/dank/models/Qwen35-9B-HauhauCS-Q6K/`,
-  `~/GitPackages/llama-master/build-cuda/`), and the retired era keeps its own
-  page: [[frank-zealot-llama-qwen35-9b-q6k-2x200704]].
-- **Deployed 2026-10-17 19:44** (`deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-zealot
-  --service homepage`): boot ledger 22,664 used / 1,461 free, engine fit
-  projected 21,439 and left 2,119 ≥ 1,872 MiB, KV 13,328.00 MiB at
-  `n_ctx_seq = 200,704`, `n_slots = 2`, projector loaded; live probes green
-  (`/v1/models` serves `frank-zealot`, exact `pong` + `reasoning_content`,
-  `tool_calls` `{"city":"Seattle"}`, 512 px PNG → **Red**). e2e gate 33/33.
-- **Picker row is live state:** the OpenWebUI `model` row's
-  `meta.description` named the 9B, so it was re-keyed in the database too
-  (backup `webui.db.bak-20261017a`). The row was written WITHOUT restarting
-  `open-webui` — the cached list refreshes on its next restart, and forcing one
-  would have logged every family session out for a cosmetic string. See
-  [[OpenWebUI]] for the picker trio.

+
+Deep-research catalog (2026-10-13/14): solutions for tracking WHO uses the
+fleet endpoints (`frank-archon`, `frank-dragoon`, `frank-zealot`). Full web
+citations; live-fleet measurements marked **(measured)**.
+
+## Baseline: what the fleet answers today
+
+- All three endpoints are `auth: none`, plain HTTP, LAN-only
+  (`models.yml` providers; no vhost on 7770/7771).
+- **(measured)** Live `/metrics` label census: `frank-archon` exports
+  `vllm:*`+`radiance:*` with labels only `{model_name, engine, le,
+  finished_reason, position, class}` — zero identity labels.
+  `frank-dragoon` exports `halogen:*`+`llamacpp:*`.
+  `frank-zealot` answers **501** — `serve-frank-zealot.sh` never passes
+  `--metrics`, so the Prometheus job is structurally never-green
+  (`LlmEndpointDown` fires). Fix: add `--metrics` to the ARGS array.
+- **(measured)** frank-zealot verbosity-4 journal lines carry slot/task/timing
+  only — no client IP, no user. Alloy ships journal + podman ctr.log to Loki,
+  so what lands there has no identity either.
+- Caddy has no `log` directive anywhere → no per-request access logs on the
+  OpenWebUI vhost.
+- Net: fleet-level token telemetry exists per ENDPOINT; per-CONSUMER
+  identity exists nowhere.
+
+## The identity layers (pick the layer, get its resolution)
+
+| # | Layer | Identity | Answers |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| L0 | DHCP/ARP | MAC, hostname, lease | which device was on the LAN |
+| L1 | DNS (Pi-hole v6) | device → queries | which device resolved/used a name |
+| L2 | L3/L4 (nftables/conntrack, JA3/JA4) | IP, TLS client lib | bytes per client, client software |
+| L3 | Transport (API keys, mTLS, SPIFFE, Tailscale) | key/cert/node | which credential connected |
+| L4 | App gateway (virtual keys → user/team/end_user) | named consumer | tokens/spend/cost per who |
+| L5 | Trace/content (Langfuse, Helicone, halogen records) | user_id, session, prompt text | what they asked, per session |
+| L6 | Client host (auditd, eBPF, netdata) | pid/uid/comm per connect | which process on which host |
+
+Keys/headers/`user` fields are CLIENT-DECLARED — they group traffic, they
+prove nothing about a human (halogen's own docs warn this verbatim:
+"they group requests, and they prove nothing about who sent them").
+
+## Catalog
+
+### A. Engine-native (per-consumer identity inside the inference server)
+
+| Engine | AuthN | Identity in logs | Per-identity metrics | OTel | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| llama.cpp | `--api-key` (multi, comma) / `--api-key-file` **(measured in the deployed build's `--help`)** | request `user` field drives slot assignment/eviction; `--log-requests` dumps bodies | `--metrics` exports `llamacpp:*`, NO key/user label | none upstream | [server README](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/server/README.md) |
+| vLLM | `--api-key` (multi) | request log; no user persistence | `vllm:*`; NO `api_key` label (cardinality, issue #53926) | native (`--otlp-traces-endpoint`) | [metrics design](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/docs/design/metrics.md) |
+| radiance | no public auth docs **[unverified]** | — | **(measured)** no identity labels on live /metrics | none found | closed deployment surface; treat authN as absent until probed |

+
+### B. LLM gateways (front door with virtual keys — the only layer with
+per-consumer TOKEN counts)
+
+| Solution | Identity | Usage lands | License | Footprint |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **LiteLLM Proxy** | virtual keys → `user_id`/`team_id`/`end_user`; budgets, rate limits | Postgres spend ledger; `/metrics` labels `api_key_alias,user,team,end_user,model,client_ip,user_agent` (`litellm_*_tokens_metric`, spend, budget gauges); OTel/Langfuse callbacks | MIT core (SSO/RBAC/audit-log enterprise) | ~150–300 MiB + Postgres |
+| Kong AI Gateway | Consumer + key-auth/JWT/OIDC/mTLS; AI consumer groups | Postgres; `kong_*` per-consumer; file-log/zipkin/otel | OSS core; token-aware AI plugins enterprise | 0.5–1 GiB |
+| Apache APISIX | Consumer + key-auth/JWT | `apisix_llm_prompt_tokens`/`completion_tokens` with `consumer` label; http-logger/kafka | Apache-2.0 | 200–400 MiB |
+| Bifrost (maximhq) | virtual keys `sk-bf-*`/`x-bf-vk`, budgets | Prometheus/OTel, config store (SQLite/Postgres) | Apache-2.0, Go | ~150–300 MiB |
+| Portkey OSS gateway | virtual keys | logs/OTel | MIT | 200–400 MiB |

+[Kong AI](https://developer.konghq.com/index/ai-gateway/))
+
+### C. Auth proxies / identity infrastructure (identity without token counts)
+
+- **Ory Oathkeeper** (MIT, ~50–100 MiB): per-consumer api-key/JWT/
+  client-credentials → header mutation (`X-User: {{ .Subject }}`) +
+  decision logs.
+- **oauth2-proxy** (Apache-2.0): OIDC (Authentik) incl. client_credentials,
+  `--pass-user-headers` → `X-Forwarded-User`; ~100 MiB.
+- **Authentik itself**: proxy-provider custom headers (already injects
+  `X-Authentik-Username`/`-Groups`, spoof-stripped — the /whoami seam proves
+  the pattern on this host); event log + webhook forwarding.
+- **Caddy `tls client_auth`** (mTLS per client cert) + access-log fields —
+  Caddy already fronts both hosts.
+- **Smallstep step-ca**: short-lived per-device certs, ACME-style.
+- **SPIFFE/SPIRE**: per-workload SVIDs (k8s-flavored; heavy for quadlets).
+- **Tailscale / NetBird**: per-node identity, ACL + network-flow logs,
+  headscale for self-hosted control. Best for off-LAN laptops.
+- **ApiAuth** (nginx auth_request): the minimal per-consumer apikey sidecar.
+
+### D. LLM observability / tracing (prompt-level per-user audit)
+
+| Platform | Identity | Content | Self-host | Shape |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Langfuse** | `user_id`,`session_id`, tags | full input/output, masking hook | ✅ ClickHouse, Apache-2.0 | fed via LiteLLM callback / OTLP / SDK |
+| **Helicone** | api-key→user, `Helicone-User-Id` | full, tiered redaction | ✅ compose (ClickHouse+PG+Redis+Jawn), Apache-2.0 | PROXY — can be the front door itself |
+| Arize Phoenix | `user.id`,`session.id` | opt-in `gen_ai.*` | ✅, Apache-2.0 | OTLP collector |
+| OpenLIT | `user.id`,`session.id` | 3-tier capture | ✅, Apache-2.0 | OTLP+ClickHouse |
+| SigNoz LLM | OTel attrs | opt-in | ✅, Apache-2.0 | OTLP |
+| OpenLLMetry/Traceloop | assoc props | opt-in | ✅ Helm | OTel |
+| Lunary / W&B Weave / LangSmith | user/session | full | enterprise-gated | — |
+
+OTel GenAI semconv (Development-stability): `gen_ai.operation.name`,
+`gen_ai.provider.name`, `gen_ai.request.model`, `gen_ai.usage.input_tokens`/
+`output_tokens`, `gen_ai.conversation.id`, content attrs opt-in; `user.id`
+from the registry. vLLM and SGLang emit OTLP natively; llama.cpp only via
+external SDK — **the fleet's engines are OTel-silent at request level**,
+which is why the gateway callback (LiteLLM→Langfuse) is the practical feed.
+
+### E. Network/host passive attribution (no client cooperation)
+
+- **Pi-hole v6** (already on Dankclaw): query log API per device,
+  `pihole6_exporter` + query-logger→Loki (GPLv3 exporter).
+- **Caddy access logs**: add a `log` directive (JSON) → Alloy→Loki; with the
+  auth chain it carries `X-Authentik-Username` for browser users.
+- **OpenWebUI admin**: per-user daily token stats, events/logs, analytics API
+  (`/api/v1/analytics/*`) — per-USER identity exists here already (MIT).
+- **auditd** connect-syscall rules (uid/pid/comm per connect to 7770/7771),
+  ship via audisp→Loki.
+- **eBPF**: Tetragon (process+socket events, policies), Coroot, DeepFlow,
+  bpftrace `tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_connect` one-liners. K8s-shaped
+  for single hosts, but agents.plugin-style tools work.
+- **nftables named counters** per consumer IP (bytes; reload resets).
+- **netdata apps.plugin**: per-process network bytes, auto-discovered.
+- **JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprinting**: client library only, TLS-only; the LAN is
+  plaintext HTTP today → use the HTTP **User-Agent census** instead (free
+  from any access log).
+- **DHCP/ARP census** (leases + `ip neigh`): device roster.
+
+## Phased plan for this fleet
+
+**Phase 0 — repo-only, no new services**
+1. frank-zealot: add `--metrics` (fixes the measured 501 + the
+   structurally-red Prometheus job + the firing `LlmEndpointDown`).
+2. frank-dragoon: set `HALOGEN_API_KEY_FILE` (multi-key per consumer) +
+   mount `HALOGEN_RECORD_DIR` (start `HALOGEN_RECORD_TEXT=none`; flip to
+   `all` if prompt audit is wanted) + Alloy ship of `turns/`.
+3. frank-zealot: `--api-key-file` (multi-key, verified in the deployed
+   build); radiance: probe for `--api-key` support (contract facts are
+   silent — add to `fleet-probes`).
+4. models.yml: per-consumer bearer keys (`auth: none` → key) — the provider
+   schema supports apiKey (pi-era conversion note).
+5. Caddy: `log` on `ai.franksdank.cloud` (OpenWebUI browser census, JSON →
+   Loki).
+   Limits: keys gate access, and only the engines' request records (halogen)
+   see them per-request; llama.cpp/radiance/vLLM metrics stay identity-blind.
+
+**Phase 1 — LiteLLM Proxy quadlet on Dankclaw = the front door.**
+One virtual key per consumer (omp-<workstation> ×N, openwebui, hermes,
+agents, bench). Per-key/user/team Prometheus labels into the existing
+Grafana+Alertmanager; Postgres spend ledger; budgets + rate limits per
+key. This is the ONLY layer that yields tokens-per-who without engine
+cooperation. (Bifrost is the lighter Apache-2.0 Go alternative; Helicone
+the proxy-native-observability alternative.)
+
+**Phase 2 — prompt-level audit.** Langfuse self-hosted fed by the LiteLLM
+callback: per-user traces, sessions, cost; masking + retention knobs.
+
+**Phase 3 — ambitious identity infra.** step-ca + Caddy mTLS per device;
+Tailscale (+flow logs) for off-LAN; auditd/eBPF process attribution on the
+agent hosts; Pi-hole query logger; nft counters per consumer IP. Browser
+users stay owned by OpenWebUI analytics + its per-user API keys; a pipeline
+can forward `X-Forwarded-User` so the gateway sees them too.
+
+## Cautions
+
+- Client-declared identity (keys, `user`, headers) groups traffic; it does

-
-- Ask: replace the served model with
-  `StillDeadcode/qwen3.8-next-flash-fp8-iq4r-moe` — the engine author's
-  published rad-convert of the OFFICIAL Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (w4nl codebook
-  experts, ten bf16-protected/layer, int8 trunk, PLE/MTP/vision in-container,
-  card KL 0.0789 / top-1 92.85 %) — **no other argument changes**, mindful
-  the operator session runs on the endpoint being swapped.
-- Disk: Frank authorized one `rm` — the spent Swift1.5 BF16 source (336 GiB)
-  and the two-era-old `qwen4exp-fp8-native.rad` (173 GiB) left
-  `/home/dank/models`; 150 GB → 658 GB free. fp8-native is now rebuild-only
-  (fetch + build scripts); rollback for THIS swap is the w4dn8 `.rad`
-  (on disk) by reverting the commit.
-- Fetch: new `scripts/download-frank-archon-iq4r.sh` (hfget, exact bytes
-  121,969,901,568 + Hub LFS sha256, `--verify-only` default) as transient
-  unit `iq4r-fetch`; verified, staged sidecar files kept as provenance.
-- Shape carried VERBATIM (25600/5120 pair, 44928 pool, fp8 KV 3 × 200,000,
-  MTP 2, wht6, MNBT 2048, froggeric v22.5). Tests re-keyed
-  (`frank_archon_unit.bats` pins the new payload id + sha256, keeps the

-- Cutover self-severed by design (detached `deploy.sh` survived the session
-  death when frank-archon restarted); engine healthy in ~100 s. First-boot
-  ledger: w4nl loads on pin 1.0.13 (no pin bump); kv_attn 26.00 KiB fp8 @
-  607,740 tokens (identical geometry); slab 17,610/17,658 slots per rank
-  (> w4dn8's 17,548 — fewer bf16-protected experts pack more 4-bit table);
-  sampler 9 rows; MTP 2/step; prefix tier RECOVERED 900,176 blocks across
-  the swap (arch+tokenizer unchanged). Vision probe green (reasoning read
-  the solid-red PNG; the 64-token budget went all to thinking — fleet law).
-- e2e gate went red on three dankclaw specs — NOT the swap: dankclaw rebooted
-  01:41 and the gluetun boot-race dependency-failed `searxng`, `marreta`,
-  and `marreta-browser` (jobs consumed while gluetun's start job retried;
-  `Restart=always` never armed because the services never ran). Cascade
-  restarted; skill codified (`gluetun-dependent-boot-race-recovery`).

-  repo objects.** Each `<user>@franksdank.cloud` in the human-user template
-  shape (`is_active=True`, display name, password via `set_password` on stdin
-  only — never argv, so nothing lands in `ps`), groups `Non-Admin Users` +
-  `jellyfin_users` + `openwebui_users`; no admin group granted. Verified
-  through the exact PasswordStage code path (`authenticate()` accepted each
-  password and rejected a wrong one), `app_entitlements(open-webui)` →
-  `Open WebUI Users` for both (identical to the ridley precedent), and
-  `is_superuser=False` / `path=users`. Zero `proxysession` rows for either —
-  groups were set before any login, so no claim purge was due. Downstream:
-  Jellyfin visibility rides the LDAP outpost cache (expect lag); OpenWebUI
-  mints their accounts as role `pending` on first login.
-- `/serverAppConfigs-docs/Infrastructure/Authentik.md` — human-user template
-  census extended with pk 22–23.
-
-## 2026-10-17 — frank-zealot: Bonsai-2-27B PQ2_0 trial + cutover (2 × 200,704, q8_0 KV)
-
-- Ask: evaluate `prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf` (PQ2_0) as frank-zealot's
-  payload, and specifically measure **2 × 200,704 with q8_0 K + q8_0 V** on the
-  RTX 3090. Fetch script `scripts/download-frank-zealot-bonsai2.sh` (exact
-  bytes + sha256, `--verify-only`) landed first; payload verified at
-  `/home/dank/models/Bonsai2-PQ2_0/` (7,206,168,928 B + 629,246,976 B mmproj).
-- Runtime door: the file is `file_type 141` with 402 tensors of custom GGML
-  type **142** plus `prism.hadamard.*` metadata — stock llama.cpp refuses it,
-  so the PrismML vendor build 10754 (`2459f68b5`) is forced, not chosen. A
-  source build with `GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS=ON` was started and then
-  cancelled as unnecessary: the vendor build already serves q8_0 V under flash
-  attention at the exact 34,816 B/token (ledger-confirmed).
-- Trial-window law cost one boot: the scratch env invented `KV_CACHE_TYPE`
-  where the serve script reads `CACHE_TYPE_K`/`CACHE_TYPE_V`, so the script's
-  `:=f16` default silently won and every arm booted f16. That failed window is
-  now the measured f16 wall: `cudaMalloc` OOM on a 25,088.00 MiB KV request,
-  engine fit 33,198 vs 23,558 free.
-- Four-arm census (production stopped, trap-guarded restore, `bg_12`):
-  **2 × 200,704 q8_0 = 22,664 used / 1,461 free (DEPLOYED)**; 1 × 262,144
-  q8_0 = 18,130 / 5,995 (fits, but serializes compaction); 2 × 262,144 q8_0
-  ≈ 25,758 projected (no fit); 2 × 200,704 q4_0 = 16,392 / 7,733 (fallback
-  rung). Recurrent DeltaNet state bills ~150 MiB per SLOT (context 13,627 −
-  KV 13,328 for two slots), which pool arithmetic alone misses.
-- Behavior probes green: exact-instruction chat, `reasoning_content` present,
-  `tool_calls` with valid JSON arguments (no fork `KNOWN_ISSUES` loop/500),
-  512 px solid-red PNG answered **"Red"**, needle retrieval exact through a
-  25,960-token prompt, 166,027-token prefill clean in 240.0 s. Rates: 76.6 t/s
-  single-stream (9B ran 94.4), 1,258 t/s at 35k, 691.7 t/s at 166k,
-  **109.4 t/s aggregate** at two concurrent streams.
-- New fleet laws recorded (AGENTS.md + runbook): the mmproj's 873.10 MiB
-  worst-case is NOT inside the engine's fit projection; the first request after
-  a boot is a warmup artifact (2.6 / 37.7 t/s measured); a 64-token thinking
-  budget makes a thinking model look blind; the Bonsai-2 template reads
-  `reasoning_effort` (xhigh/medium/low, raises otherwise) so the harness fold
-  became load-bearing on this endpoint, and it reads `preserve_thinking`.
-- Cutover: `scripts/frank-zealot.env` (payload + `CACHE_TYPE_*`=q8_0 + ledger
-  lore), `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` (runtime/model/mmproj gates re-keyed, fork
-  hint), `tests/frank_zealot_unit.bats` (payload pair pinned; KV assertions now
-  env-derived instead of an f16 literal), harness `models.yml` (extraBody 1.0
-  /0.95/20 + `preserve_thinking`, effort-map comment corrected —
-  `contextWindow` 200704 and `maxTokens` 16384 unchanged), new runbook
-  [[frank-zealot-llama-prism-bonsai2-pq20]], indexes re-keyed, 9B era retired
-  in place. Full bats green (371).
-- Base alignment: **Frank chose the OFFICIAL censored payload** — publisher
-  provenance over refusal-freedom. The 9B it replaces was uncensored, so the
-  homepage card and its warning contract were re-keyed with it: zealot's card
-  now carries the base-alignment notice, the shared legal warning belongs to
-  dragoon alone, and the `homepage_config.bats` equality
-  (`zealot.warn == dragoon.warn`) retired with the payload it described.
-  The CRACK re-export (byte-identical geometry per header census) stays on
-  disk as the one-line `MODEL_FILE` fallback if refusals bite.
-- **Deployed 19:44** (`--service frank-zealot --service homepage`): production
-  boot reproduced the census exactly — 22,664 used / 1,461 free, fit projected
-  21,439 leaving 2,119 ≥ 1,872, KV 13,328.00 MiB at `n_ctx_seq = 200,704`,
-  `n_slots = 2`, projector loaded, alias `frank-zealot` on `/v1/models`. Live
-  probes: exact `pong` + `reasoning_content`, `tool_calls` `{"city":"Seattle"}`,
-  512 px PNG → **Red**, 75.8 t/s decode (1 % off the trial arm). e2e 33/33.
-- Two live-path stragglers the cutover also had to catch: `serve-frank-zealot.sh`
-  still DEFAULTED to the 9B paths and f16 KV (a defaulted run would have served
-  the retired payload — now re-keyed to the shipped trio), and the OpenWebUI
-  `model` row's `meta.description` is live DB state naming the 9B (re-keyed,
-  backup `webui.db.bak-20261017a`; no `open-webui` restart forced — the cached
-  list picks it up on the next one, and forcing it logs every family session
-  out for one cosmetic string).
-
-## 2026-10-17 — dankserver disk purge: Swift w4dn8 rollback + orphan caches (docs re-key)
-
-- Ask: "dump the swift rollback and the GLM GGUF — make sure the model
-  caches and agenttrash are empty as well." Preflight first: `lsof` empty
-  on both payloads, serving trio names only the iq4r path, and a podman
-  layer census proved no deleted path backs an image container (the 121 GB
-  `16b6663d…` layer is the ENGINE image, not a model blob).
-- Staged to `/home/dank/.AGENTTRASH/20261017-dump-payloads-caches`, then
-  purged with Frank's approval: the Swift1.5 w4dn8 `.rad` (113.6 GiB,
-  rollback target), `GLM-4.7-Flash-UD-Q5_K_XL.gguf` (21 GiB, `/opt/vllm`
-  dir removed — last non-iq4r model on the box), `radiance-state` kvcache
-  tiers (69 GiB + 61 MiB, derived), `~/.radiance-cache-w4a8-*` (11 GiB
-  stale-pin compile cache), `~/.cache/frank-primary` (4.7 GiB stale-name
-  cache). Also emptied every `.AGENTTRASH` on the host (14 dirs: dated
-  batches, quadlet/config holds, both checkouts, `/etc/caddy`). 543 → 763
-  GiB free.
-- Recovery: the w4dn8 payload is byte-exact on the Hub as
-  `frank8465/Swift-1.5-Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GPTQ-W4A8-Radiance-AMD-R9700`
-  (122,071,973,888 B, LFS sha256 `09dd9306…`) — rollback is now a
-  re-download, not a local file. Corpora (grams 41 G, kld-ref 24 G,
-  calibration JSONL) deliberately KEPT: re-convert and KLD-gate inputs.
-- Post-checks: frank-archon active, `/health` ok; iq4r serving payload
-  byte-size intact; live kvcache tier (122 MiB) untouched; no process
-  references a deleted path.
-- Docs re-keyed: AGENTS.md fleet row + frank-archon section + both runbook
-  index rows; iq4r runbook Rollback rewritten (HF re-fetch procedure — the
-  fetch script's REPO/RAD_NAME/STAGE/DEST/SIZE/SHA256 constants are
-  hardcoded, so retargeting at the mirror is a script edit); w4dn8 runbook
-  header corrected (was still "LIVE", never updated at retirement) and its
-  Rollback table rebuilt.
