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).
feat(rank6): node-exporter renders from a template; guard chain is one snippet

-#
-# 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 — measured against this digest, not even
-# `ls` exists (`exec: "ls": executable file not found in $PATH`), so there is no
-# `/bin/sh`, no curl and no wget. SurrealDB ships its own probe instead:
-# `surreal is-ready` connects to ws://localhost:8000 by default, needs no
-# credentials, prints `OK` and exits 0 while the server is up.
-#
-# It must be handed over as a QUADLET-SIDE JSON ARRAY, not a bare command.
-# podman wraps a bare `HealthCmd` string as `CMD-SHELL` (measured on this host's
-# podman 5.7: `--health-cmd "/surreal is-ready"` stores
-# `{"Test":["CMD-SHELL","/surreal is-ready"]}`), and with no `/bin/sh` in the
-# image that probe fails in ~30 ms with empty output on every interval while the
-# database answers perfectly — which is exactly how this service's first deploy
-# died on 2026-10-19 (`did not become healthy in 90s`). The quoted array survives
-# the generator (`--health-cmd "[\"/surreal\",\"is-ready\"]"`) and stores
-# `["CMD","/surreal","is-ready"]`, which execs directly and goes healthy. Do not
-# "simplify" it back to a bare command.

-# 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.
-# Only 8502 is published on all interfaces, because it is the single upstream
-# the guard chain dials: notebook.franksdank.cloud → anubis → authentik →
-# http://:8017 → 192.168.0.143:8502 (dankclaw/Caddyfile), and this Caddy lives
-# in root's storage, so a published port is the only way it can reach a rootless
-# quadlet. The API needs no outward face at all — the image's own Next.js layer
-# rewrites /api/* to the FastAPI beside it, so one origin serves UI and API —
-# and the fleet's rule is that loopback-only is for services whose user path is
-# the guard chain, which this became on 2026-10-19; 5056 stays published on
-# loopback because the deployer's health gate dials it there. That is also why
-# API_URL in scripts/open-notebook.env names the vhost rather than a port: left
-# to itself the frontend auto-detects `<host-you-opened>:5055`, and the UI loads
-# while every call fails. OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD is not made redundant by the
-# chain: it is what keeps the API honest for everything else on this host, and
-# with it unset the API answers anyone, 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.

-"""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 ``$VOICES_DIR`` and ``reference.wav`` inside it is what makes
-the name real. A name that has no reference is not a voice — the shim answers
-400 with the list that is, instead of silently narrating in a fallback voice
-(silent fallback is how a wrong-voice endpoint stays wrong for weeks). A request
-that names NO voice at all takes ``$DEFAULT_VOICE``: that is a spoken choice in
-the env file rather than a surprise in the code, and the journal marks it
-``(default)`` so a name nobody asked for is never mistaken for one that was.
-
-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.

-# Quadlet unit: frank-tts-engine (rootless, boot-persistent).
-#
-# Install path on dankclaw: ~/.config/containers/systemd/frank-tts-engine.container
-# Unit name: frank-tts-engine.service (container name: frank-tts-engine)
-#
-# WHAT IT IS. The arm A TTS engine: qwentts.cpp (pinned commit
-# 5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4) built into an image by
-# dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine, running its resident `tts-server`
-# with the 1.7 B base talker Q4_K_M and the Q8_0 12 Hz tokenizer loaded ONCE at
-# startup. It is deliberately NOT a fleet endpoint: the endpoint consumers
-# address is **frank-tts on 7772** ([[Frank TTS]]), which resolves voice names,
-# re-encodes to mp3 and owns the timeout budget. Runbook: [[Frank TTS Engine]].
-#
-# WHY THIS ENGINE (Frank's call, 2026-10-18, criterion "whatever is better for
-# live output"): server-side time-to-first-audio 94-112 ms (86-451 ms end to
-# end through the façade), streaming that stays ahead of real time at warm RTF
-# 0.55-0.67, and a run-to-run spread of +-0.01 — against the mainline CLI path's
-# 0.93-0.99 at +-0.25, which crosses 1.0 often enough to stall a live stream.
-# The A/B that decided it is "Decision: arm A for live output" in
-# [[Local TTS and Voice Cloning]].
-#
-# IMAGE. Built locally by deploy-remote.sh (build_compose_image), like
-# loki/alloy/frank-tts. `Pull=never` plus the `localhost/` prefix are required:
-# this host's quadlet path cannot resolve a locally built tag from local storage
-# otherwise. The build is a network operation (it clones the pinned commit) and
-# is skipped when the Containerfile hash label already matches.
-#
-# NETWORK, AND WHY IT PUBLISHES NOTHING. The container sits on exactly one
-# network: the private `frank-tts-engine.network` (10.89.5.0/24). The façade
-# joins the same network and dials `http://frank-tts-engine:8880` — the
-# container DNS name, on the network that owns it. There is no `PublishPort` of
-# any kind, not even `127.0.0.1:8880`, and the reason is the lesson that 502'd
-# hermes: netavark DNATs published ports only, so a host-loopback publish is not
-# a path to a peer container — the façade could never have used it, and a bridge
-# container cannot reach the host's own loopback bind either (see
-# [[Container Network Namespaces]]). A publish would therefore buy exactly one
-# thing: an extra reachable surface on an engine that has no authentication, on
-# a box whose CPU is also carrying the text endpoints. Diagnostics do not need
-# it either — `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl http://127.0.0.1:8880/health`
-# speaks to the server from inside its own namespace, which is where the address
-# is valid.
-#
-# MEMORY / THE RENDER NODE. Host RSS is ~1.7 GiB, not the size of the GGUFs:
-# the Vulkan backend copies both tensors into device memory at load, so they
-# stop counting in the process's RSS (measured after the 2026-10-19 cutover —
-# `podman stats` / `ps -o rss`). No memory limit is set: the box has the room
-# and a limit would convert a busy moment into an OOM kill mid-utterance.
-#
-# `AddDevice=/dev/dri` is what makes the iGPU visible; without it the Vulkan
-# ICD enumerates nothing and the server dies on device lookup after it has
-# already read both GGUFs. `GroupAdd=keep-groups` is belt-and-braces, not the
-# thing that works here: the units podman spawns carry no supplementary groups
-# at all, and this host grants render access a different way — the udev rule
-# that makes the render nodes world-writable (same rule ComfyUI rides, see
-# dankclaw/comfyui). Measured: `id` inside this container lists only the
-# container's own group, and `tts-server` still holds renderD129.
-# The node is NOT named: this host is hybrid, renderD128 is the NVIDIA card and
-# renderD129 the amdgpu iGPU, so a node number in the unit is a guess that a
-# re-probe can invalidate, while the directory hands the container every render
-# node and the driver picks by name.
-#
-# /dev/kfd stays absent on purpose: that is the ROCm compute interface, owned by
-# the engines that use HIP. A Vulkan endpoint has no use for it, and handing a
-# container a second way onto the GPU is surface for nothing.
-#
-# THE VOICE MOUNT IS READ-ONLY AND IS FOR THE WARMER, NOT THE ENGINE. A voice
-# becomes known to the engine only through POST /v1/audio/voices, and the
-# registration is MEMORY ONLY — it does not survive a restart, which is exactly
-# why the warm hook below runs on every start. That hook runs INSIDE this
-# container (see ExecStartPost), so it reads the packs at /voices; `tts-server`
-# itself never opens the directory, it receives the reference audio as base64 in
-# the registration body. The façade mounts the same host directory read-only for
-# its own name list, so one directory stays the single source of a voice name.
-#
-# REGISTRY LAW, THE REASON EXECSTARTPOST EXISTS. The voice registry is memory
-# only: a restart forgets every voice, and re-registering does not warm one —
-# only synthesizing does — so a boot without this hook leaves the façade
-# answering 400 for every name. The per-voice cold penalty is real but small, and
-# not the trial's 6.2-8.0 s: measured on the built container 2026-10-18 against an
-# empty registry, the first synthesis of a freshly registered voice cost 1,883 ms
-# against 1,226-1,283 ms for the requests after it. The warm pass runs serially
-# (two short syntheses per voice, ~5 s each) and `TimeoutStartSec=900` keeps a growing library from
-# tripping systemd's default 90 s start deadline. The leading `-` on
-# ExecStartPost is load-bearing: with `Restart=always`, a warmer that exits
-# non-zero (a pack missing its reference.wav, the engine still loading past the
-# warmer's own patience) would restart the whole container and crash-loop the
-# endpoint forever. A failed warm must be a journal line, not a restart.
-#
-# The hook is `podman exec`, not a host script, because there is no address the
-# host could dial: this container publishes nothing (above). Exec-ing into it
-# also means the warmer inherits this unit's EnvironmentFile, so every knob it
-# has lives in scripts/frank-tts-engine.env beside the engine's own, and it sees
-# the same /voices and 127.0.0.1:8880 the engine does.
-#
-# HEALTH. `GET /health` answers `{"status":"ok"}` from the HTTP thread, not the
-# synthesis queue, so a busy engine still reads healthy and a dead one does not.
-# HealthStartPeriod covers the first model load. The command is argument-only
-# and needs /bin/sh — the generator wraps HealthCmd as CMD-SHELL — so the image
-# installs curl (see the opposite case in dankclaw/loki, whose distroless base
-# has no shell).

-# WHY A PRIVATE BRIDGE FOR A PAUSE THAT LOOKS PUBLIC-FACING. frank-tts (:7772,
-# published, the one endpoint consumers address) and frank-tts-engine (:8880,
-# never published, the arm A qwentts.cpp server behind it) could both have
-# stayed on the fleet-wide dankclaw_default and resolved each other by name.
-# They are split off anyway, for two reasons:
-#
-# 1. THE HOST-LOOPBACK TRAP. The phase-1 shape in `scripts/frank-tts.env` still
-#    names `host.containers.internal:8880` as the upstream, on the assumption the
-#    engine runs on the host and publishes `127.0.0.1:8880`. That cannot work:
-#    netavark DNATs published ports only, a published port is not on any podman
-#    bridge, and a container cannot reach the host's own loopback bind — the same
-#    shape that 502'd hermes, and the reason the signal-relay hop needs a host LAN
-#    bind instead ([[Container Network Namespaces]], [[Homepage Status Probes]]).
-#    Putting both containers on one committed network removes the guess: the
-#    façade dials the engine's container DNS name on the network that owns it, and
-#    the engine publishes nothing at all.
-#
-# 2. THE ENGINE HAS NO AUTH AND NO QUEUE LIMIT WORTH THE NAME. `tts-server`
-#    answers anyone who can open a socket, and at `--max-batch 1` a second
-#    caller simply waits behind the first. Left on dankclaw_default every
-#    container on that net — open-webui, hermes, the *arr proxies — could drive
-#    a CPU synthesiser that occupies every other core on a box that also serves
-#    two text endpoints. On this bridge the only dialer is frank-tts: the engine
-#    publishes no port, so not even the host has an address to reach it at, and
-#    diagnostics go through `podman exec` instead.
-#
-# Kernel bridge, not slirp4netns: the 2026-08-22 open-webui incident (a dead
-# per-container userspace helper left a container that accepted TCP and reset
-# every request for two days, logging nothing). A bridge has no such helper.

-# 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

-# TTS_BACKEND in scripts/frank-tts.env picks between forwarding to the
-# OpenAI-shaped engine (`frank-tts-engine`, [[Frank TTS Engine]]) 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. TWO attached networks, and the order is the one the open-notebook
-# pair uses: `dankclaw_default` first (the default route, and where consumers
-# live — they reach the published 7772, and open-notebook dials
-# `http://frank-tts:7772/v1` by container name), then the voice pair's private
-# bridge, `frank-tts-engine.network`, where the arm A engine lives. The shim's
-# upstream is therefore the engine's container DNS name
-# (`http://frank-tts-engine:8880`, scripts/frank-tts.env) and NOT
-# host.containers.internal: netavark DNATs published ports only, so a bridge
-# container cannot reach a host-loopback bind — the shape that 502'd hermes —
-# and the engine publishes nothing at all. That file MUST be installed beside
-# this unit (the engine's handler does it; the façade handler re-installs it for
-# `--only frank-tts`), because with a referenced Network= file missing the v1
-# generator refuses to produce this container unit at all.
-#
-# ORDERING. Wants+After on frank-tts-engine.service, not Requires: the façade
-# has a second backend (`TTS_BACKEND=llama-tts-cli`) that needs no upstream, and
-# an engine that will not start must not take this endpoint's unit down with it.
-# When both boot, this comes up after the engine, whose ExecStartPost warm pass
-# is part of its start — so the first request of the day meets a REGISTERED voice
-# (the registry is memory-only) rather than a 400, and skips the ~0.6 s penalty
-# the first synthesis of an unwarmed voice costs.
-#
-# 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

-#!/usr/bin/env bash
-# tts-engine-start.sh — the entrypoint of the frank-tts-engine image
-# (dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine). It exists for one reason: the
-# knobs of the arm A engine are command-line flags, while the fleet's knobs
-# live in scripts/frank-tts-engine.env and reach the container through
-# EnvironmentFile=. This is the translation layer, and nothing else — no
-# supervision, no retries, no logging of its own. PID 1 stays the server, so

-#
-# THE FLAG THAT MUST STAY ABSENT:
-#
-#   --threads / -t   does not exist in this build. src/backend.h computes the
-#                    CPU thread count as std::thread::hardware_concurrency()/2
-#                    (the comment there: GEMM shares SIMD units across
-#                    hyperthreads), and there is no flag to override it. So a
-#                    CPU affinity pin (CPUQuota=, taskset, a cpuset) silently
-#                    changes the engine's thread count instead of just its
-#                    placement — pinning is deliberately not done anywhere in
-#                    this stack. See the env file header for the same warning
-#                    aimed at the operator.
-#
-# --device IS here, but conditionally: it reaches the binary only when
-# QWENTTS_DEVICE is non-empty, and empty is the CPU rollback — the binary then
-# takes its own default device, which is CPU because the CPU backend is always
-# built. One line in scripts/frank-tts-engine.env moves the endpoint between the
-# two shapes, with no rebuild. What must never reach argv is a device NAME the
-# loader does not enumerate: that is not refused by the argument parser, it dies
-# during device lookup with the loader's own error, so the journal reads as a
-# load that failed rather than a configuration refusal.
-#
-# Everything defaults to the shape this endpoint runs: 1.7 B talker Q4_K_M with

-# gfx1151 iGPU. An empty environment still boots that shape.

-# tts-engine-warm.sh — the boot warmer of the arm A TTS engine, shipped inside
-# the frank-tts-engine image at /app/warm-voices.sh
-# (dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine).
-#
-# WHO RUNS IT. Two callers, same binary:
-#
-#   1. The Quadlet unit, as
-#      `ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`
-#      — after every start of the container, including every boot.
-#      `podman exec` rather than a host script because the engine publishes no
-#      port at all, so there is no address the host could dial; and because an
-#      exec inherits the unit's EnvironmentFile, which is what puts every knob of
-#      this script in scripts/frank-tts-engine.env next to the engine's own.
-#   2. scripts/deploy-remote.sh's deploy_frank_tts_engine, once per deploy, so a
-#      voice that did not warm becomes a deploy result instead of only a journal
-#      line (the unit's `-` prefix deliberately cannot fail the unit).
-#
-# WHY IT EXISTS AT ALL (the registry law). The voice registry is MEMORY ONLY: a
-# restart forgets every voice, and re-registering a voice does not warm it — only
-# synthesizing does. A boot that registers nothing therefore leaves frank-tts
-# answering 400 for every name, so this script registers every pack it finds. The
-# per-voice cold penalty is real but small, and smaller than the trial reported:
-# measured on the deployed build 2026-10-18 against an empty registry, the FIRST
-# synthesis of a freshly registered voice cost 1,883 ms against 1,226-1,283 ms for
-# the requests after it — about 0.6 s, not the trial's 6.2-8.0 s. Each voice gets
-# two identical requests so the journal carries both numbers, `voice <name>
-# cold=…ms warm=…ms`; cold ≈ warm is the expected shape, and a large gap is what
-# would mean the snapshot path is broken.
-#
-# THE VOICES. /voices — the host directory /home/dank/voices mounted read-only by
-# the unit, the same packs frank-tts mounts for its own name list. A pack is a
-# directory that contains reference.wav; everything else in it (manifest.json, the
-# engine's reference.spk / reference.rvq extraction, a 16 kHz variant) is not read
-# here. The registration payload is `{"name": <dir>, "wav_b64": <base64 of
-# reference.wav>}` with NO ref_text, which selects the embedding-only (x-vector)
-# voice — the shipped default, warm RTF ~0.57-0.63 against ICL's 0.67, and the one
-# this fleet can produce honestly because it has no trustworthy transcript for the
-# audition crops. Adding ref_text (with the codes) would flip that voice to
-# in-context-learning mode: better fidelity on a good transcript, slower, and only
-# worth it for batch work like a podcast render. That is a per-voice opt-in this
-# script deliberately does NOT exercise, and the door stays open: a pack that
-# wants ICL needs its text in the pack plus one key in the payload below.
-#
-# A lone `spk_b64` is a 400 (src/tts-server.h:480 — it is `wav_b64` or BOTH
-# `spk_b64` and `rvq_b64`), which is why the WAV travels and the .spk stays home.
-#
-# NOTHING HERE IS A SECRET, and nothing is logged that could be: the audio bytes
-# are discarded, the synthesized text comes from the env file, and the reference
-# clip is base64'd into a request body that is written to a temporary file and
-# handed to curl as `@file` — never echoed, and never placed on a command line,
-# because of the size law explained at the mktemp below.
-set -euo pipefail
-
-# The engine's own address, from inside its namespace. Loopback is valid HERE:
-# this script runs in the container, next to the server. There is deliberately no
-# host-visible address to use instead — the unit publishes nothing, because a
-# host-loopback publish would be unreachable from the façade anyway (netavark
-# DNATs published ports only) while adding a surface on an unauthenticated

-# Container path; the host directory behind it is named in the Quadlet unit.

-# How long to wait for the engine to answer /health. Model load dominates: the
-# two GGUFs (1.2 GiB + 291 MB) are read and the context built before the HTTP
-# thread binds, and a boot races every other unit on this box.
-: "${HEALTH_WAIT:=300}"
-
-# One short sentence, long enough to exercise the codec snapshot and short enough
-# that warming a library of voices is seconds, not minutes. Never varied per run:
-# the cold/warm numbers in the journal should mean the same thing every boot. The
-# synthesis asks for `wav`, the buffered path — the streamed path (`pcm`) is
-# different audio at the same seed, and `wav` is also what frank-tts asks for.
-: "${WARM_TEXT:=Warm up, one two three.}"
-
-# Per-request ceiling. A cold voice is 6-8 s by measurement; anything approaching
-# this is a stalled engine and should be reported rather than waited on forever —
-# systemd counts the whole warm pass against the unit's start deadline.

-#    2026-10-18 against the image's pinned base, `WARM_TEXT="…"` reaches the
-#    container WITH its quotes. Unwrapped only when the whole value is exactly one
-#    quoted string (starts AND ends with `"` and holds no quote inside), so a
-#    sentence that legitimately contains quotes is never mangled.
-# 2. Escape the two characters that would corrupt or end a JSON string: a
-#    backslash, and a double quote.
-#
-# Without step 1 the body is `{"input":""Warm up…"",…}`, the engine's JSON parser
-# rejects it, every voice stays cold, and the boot still reads healthy. Voice NAMES
-# need neither step: the character class checked below admits no quote, no

-# XDNA2 NPU inference runtimes on Linux (Strix Halo) — can any of them serve TTS?
-
-Research slice, 2026-10-19. Worker: `NpuRuntimeLandscape`. Research only, no code.
-Question: every way to execute model inference on an AMD XDNA2 NPU on Linux as of
-2026-10, and whether any of them can serve a speech-synthesis model.
-
-> **Status, same night — the spike that followed this slice settled it.** NO-GO on the
-> NPU (the loader declines the graph, not the silicon); the actionable door is the gfx1151
-> iGPU behind `-DGGML_VULKAN=ON`. Measured contract, exoneration chain and host gates:
-> `tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md`. That page supersedes §8–§9 below.
-
-Convention: vendor claims carry URL + the version/date they hold for.
-**[host]** = Dankclaw state verified on the live machine 2026-10-19 (Main), not a
-vendor claim. `[INFERENCE]` = my deduction from the cited artifacts.
-
-## 0. Answers to the three questions Main ranked
-
-**(1) A runtime that already runs TTS on XDNA2 today: it exists at AMD, not on our
-host.** Ryzen AI Software **1.8.0** (docs `latest` == 1.8.0; released 2026-07-23)
-lists `neutts-air` and `neutts-nano` as model type **TTS**, variant
-*full-optimized* (NPU-only) — <https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/llm_list.html>;
-release note "New TTS model support: neutts-air, neutts-nano" —
-<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/relnotes.html>. Pre-compiled artifacts are

-Weights") and `amd/neutts-nano_rai_1.8.0_npu_4K` (arch `llama`).
-**Neither artifact is a TTS engine.** Both file lists are LM-only (`model.onnx`,
-`genai_config.json`, BPE tokenizer, AIE-ML compiler metastate: `dd_metastate_*`
-`.ctrlpkt/.super/.state`, `cache/txn_bins.zip`) with **no codec, no vocoder, no
-reference-audio encoder**. [INFERENCE from HF file lists]
-
-**(2) FastFlowLM: no TTS, and we cannot add one** — see §2. Halogen: no TTS entry
-**[host]**. So "something installed already serves TTS on the NPU" is FALSE.
-
-**(3) Our own ONNX graph compiled for the NPU on Linux:** possible for the plain
-ONNX flows (they compile on Linux), **impossible for a new LLM/OGA model** — model
-generation is Windows-only in 1.8.0 — and gated by an operator table where BF16

-  as a tarball that is, as of 2026-10-19, **publicly reachable without an AMD
-  account**: `https://download.amd.com/opendownload/RyzenAI/1.8.0/ryzen_ai-1.8.0.tgz`
-  → HTTP 206 on a range probe, `Content-Range: bytes 0-8/**7819506855**`
-  (**≈7.8 GiB**, magic `1f 8b 08` = gzip). (The docs link it behind the
-  EULA form `account.amd.com/...ryzenai-eula-public-xef.html`; the CDN path
-  serves it directly. Verified by me with curl 2026-10-19. I did not finish
-  downloading 7.8 GiB, so the tarball's *contents* list is unverified —
-  `[INFERENCE]` only where noted.)
-* Driver/XRT package (public, 90,016,137 bytes, `application/zip`):
-  `https://download.amd.com/opendownload/RyzenAI/Driver/RAI_1.8_Linux_NPU_XRT.zip`
-  contains `xrt_202620.2.25.37_24.04-amd64-{base,base-dev,npu}.deb` +
-  `xrt_plugin.2.25.260102.56.release_24.04-amd64-amdxdna.deb` (verified by
-  download + unpack). **The plugin deb ships firmware for
-  `/usr/lib/firmware/amdnpu/17f0_11/npu.dev.sbin`** — exactly the directory our
-  NPU loads **[host]** — plus `1502_00`, `17f0_10`, `17f1_10`, `17f1_13`,
-  `libvxdna.so`, `libxrt_driver_xdna.so.2.25.260102.56`, and the DKMS driver
-  source tarball. **No xclbin/PDI and no compiler binary in this package**: it is
-  driver + XRT shim + firmware only.
-* **Our device is officially STX.** AMD's APU table
-  (<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/app_development.md#apu-types>):
-  `0x1022:0x17F0 rev 0x11 → STX` (0x00/0x10 also STX, 0x20 = KRK, `0x1502` rev 0
-  = PHX/HPT). Release notes: "Strix and **Strix Halo** as STX", and the STX/KRK
-  column enables CNN INT8, CNN BF16, NLP BF16, LLM (OGA).
-* Vendor driver source (same deb, `share/amdxdna/amdxdna.tar.gz`, source dated
-  2026-06-29) maps `0x17f0 rev 0x11 → dev_npu5_info`, `.fw_path =
-  "amdnpu/17f0_11/"`, `default_vbnv = "RyzenAI-npu5"`, and the revision→name table
-  has `{ AIE2_DEV_REVISION_HALO, "NPU Strix Halo" }`; `xrt-smi examine` therefore
-  reports the device as **NPU Strix Halo**.
-* Linux install recipe (1.8.0 docs
-  <https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/linux.html>): Ubuntu 24.04 packages,
-  **Python 3.12** (`apt install python3.12 python3.12-venv`),
-  `libboost-filesystem1.74.0`, dkms; then `install_ryzen_ai.sh -a yes -p <venv>`;
-  `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=…:${RYZEN_AI_INSTALLATION_PATH}/onnxruntime/lib/`;
-  `quicktest.py` "picks up a simple CNN model, **compiles it** and runs on AMD's
-  Neural Processing Unit" — i.e. **compilation runs on Linux** for the non-LLM
-  flows. "Linux currently supports NPU only flow" (no iGPU EP).
-  Host friction: our box is Ubuntu 26.04 + **Python 3.14** **[host]**, so the venv
-  must be built with a 3.12 interpreter and the packages are 24.04-built
-  `[INFERENCE]`.
-* LLM flow on Linux
-  (<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/llm_linux.html>): prequantized
-  ready-to-run models from HF, `deployment/lib`,
-  `RYZENAI_EP_PATH=$PWD/deployment/lib/libonnxruntime_providers_ryzenai.so`,
-  run via the `model_benchmark` binary; **"Linux does not support Hybrid flow"**;
-  **"Model generation is not supported in current release"** (repeated in
-  relnotes 1.8 Known Issues: "Models generated on Windows are compatible with
-  Linux"); needs `memlock unlimited`.
-  Sample throughput in that doc: **49.1 tokens/s decode**, 753 tokens/s prefill
-  (Phi-3.5-mini, 4K model).
-* Third-party confirmation of the OS split: Lemonade's backend matrix
-  (<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade/main/README.md>,
-  fetched 2026-10-19) — `flm`/npu/XDNA2 = **Windows, Linux**;
-  `ryzenai-llm`/npu = **Windows only**; `whispercpp`/npu (STT) = **Windows only**;
-  text-to-speech engines `kokoro` and `acestep` = metal / cuda / vulkan / rocm,
-  **no npu device at all**. Lemonade is the "Server Interface" layer of AMD's own
-  Ryzen AI stack (docs index), so this matrix is the vendor-sanctioned view.
-
-## 4. Can we compile our own graph on Linux? (the no-recipe path)
-
-Mechanics from <https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/modelrun.md> (1.8.0):
-ONNX only, opset 17 recommended; the EP compiles on first `InferenceSession` and
-caches (VitisAI EP cache, or ORT **EP context cache** — `ep.context_enable`, and
-"precompile the EP context model using Python and deploy it using a C++ program"
-is explicitly supported); EP auto-partitions unsupported nodes to CPU;
-BF16 = `target VAIML` (`preferred_data_storage: unvectorized` for transformers),
-BF16 **STX/KRK-or-newer only**; INT8 = `target=X2` with XINT8/A8W8/A16W8 and
-"general asymmetric quantization … to enable third-party quantized models";
-**deployment EP cannot compile BF16 on the fly** — ship a pre-compiled model
-(<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/app_development.md>);
-cache dirs are not portable across EP or NPU-driver versions.
-
-Operator coverage is the hard gate
-(<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/ops_support.md>, "operators supported in
-Ryzen AI 1.8.0"; "Y" = broad coverage, some configurations may still fail):
-
-* Good for TTS front-ends/vocoders: `ConvTranspose` **Y in BF16/A16W8/A8W8**
-  (absent only from XINT8), `Conv`, `Resize`, `Upsample`, `Pad`, `LSTM` (BF16),
-  `CumSum` (BF16/XINT8), `STFT` (XINT8 only).
-* **Blockers for a decoder-style transformer in the plain flows:** in **BF16** the
-  table has **no Softmax, no LayerNormalization, no Relu/Gelu**; LayerNorm is
-  XINT8-only and Softmax is A16W8/A8W8/XINT8-only. So attention either lives in
-  the **LLM/OGA flow** (whose op set is exactly
-  `SimplifiedLayerNormalization`, `SkipSimplifiedLayerNormalization`, `MatMulNBits`
-  (W4ABF16/W4ABFP16), `RotaryEmbedding`, **`GroupQueryAttention`**, `Sigmoid`,
-  `Mul`, `Add`) or must be decomposed into a quantized INT8 flow.
-* Missing entirely: `GRU`, `Trilu`, `OneHot`, `EyeLike`, `Multinomial`,
-  `NonMaxSuppression`, `CastLike`, `MelWeightMatrix`/`MelFilterGroup`,
-  `RMSNormalization` → graphs that emit them must be rewritten before they
-  partition onto the NPU. [INFERENCE from absence in the table.]
-* Quantization is a separate tool, not in the driver package: **AMD Quark**
-  (`quark.torch` / `quarkonnx`), which documents `ConvTranspose2d`, `conv1d`,
-  softmax/LayerNorm/BFP quantization (relnotes 1.3/1.2/1.1/0.9) — Quark is *not*
-  on pypi.org under the obvious names **[host probe]** and ships from AMD's
-  gated/pip-private channel.
-* **New LLM-shaped model (our Qwen-Talker analogue): Windows-only today.**
-  OGA model generation is not available on Linux in 1.8.0 (§3). So a *new*
-  speech-LM cannot be self-served onto the NPU on Linux without AMD (or a
-  Windows box) in the loop.
-* Practical shape cost: the neutts artifacts carry **one compiled variant per
-  padded sequence length** (128/256/512/768/1024/1536/2048/2304/3072/4096 for
-  prefill; 256…4096 for token-phase attention mask) — i.e. per-shape compile
-  artifacts are the norm for the LLM flow. [INFERENCE from the HF file list.]
-
-## 5. Does the AMD TTS artifact actually produce speech? (cloned-voice survival)
-
-NeuTTS is **LM + separate neural codec** ("Simple LM + codec architecture"),
-clone from ~3 s of reference audio, and the codec is **NeuCodec (50 Hz, single
-codebook)**: `neuphonic/neucodec` (PyTorch, encode+decode),
-`neucodec-onnx-decoder{,-int8}` (**decode only**), "Decoder-only (ONNX) codecs
-require **pre-encoded references** — these ship with the repo for all bundled
-voices." Phoneme input; 2048-token context ≈ 30 s of audio; NeuTTS-Air ~360 M
-active / 552 M with embeddings; upstream benchmarks are **CPU-only llama.cpp**
-(119 tok/s prefill/decode mix on a Ryzen 9 HX 370) and explicitly exclude the
-codec. <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neuphonic/neutts/main/README.md>
-(fetched 2026-10-19); `neuphonic/neutts-air` HF metadata (lastModified
-2026-08-26, `qwen2`, GGUF + safetensors).
-
-Consequences for the fleet spike:
-
-1. AMD's NPU artifact = LM only; **waveform decode and reference encoding are CPU
-   work either way**. Our `reference.wav` voices survive only if we run the
-   NeuCodec **encoder** (PyTorch, per the codec table there is no ONNX encoder)
-   once per voice and then feed pre-encoded codes. That is a one-time offline
-   step per voice; after that the compiled graph takes codes/prompt prefix as
-   ordinary inputs, so nothing about the compiled graph forbids a caller-supplied
-   speaker prefix. `[INFERENCE]`
-2. Real-time math: 50 Hz codec means **≥50 tokens/s decode** for 1× RT. AMD's own
-   Linux sample output for a 4K Phi-3.5-mini is **49.1 tok/s** — so budget for
-   roughly RT-1× on one 4K "full fusion" graph, before the codec's CPU cost.
-   `[INFERENCE — different model; must be measured.]`
-3. Host RAM: the same doc reports **peak working set 3.54 GB** for that 4K model.
-   NeuTTS-Air is ~552 M params at W4A-BFP16, so expect a smaller footprint than
-   3.5 GB `[INFERENCE]`; still non-trivial against 14 GiB available **[host]**.
-4. AMD ships **no TTS demo, runner, or server** on any OS: the examples page has
-   only CNN/BF16/DistilBERT/super-resolution/OGA-LLM/VLM/RAG
-   (<https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/examples.md>); the RyzenAI-SW repo
-   tree (669 paths, `main`, fetched 2026-10-19) contains speech demos **only under
-   `Demos/ASR/{Whisper,Parakeet-TDT}` and `Transformer-examples/ASR/Whisper-AI`**
-   — no TTS directory. Serving TTS therefore means writing our own OGA host
-   (or driving `model_benchmark`-style C++ code) plus phonemizer + NeuCodec glue.
-
-## 6. Two graphs on one NPU, and the iGPU hazard
-
-* **Concurrency is a first-class driver feature.** The vendor `amdxdna` source
-  (in `xrt_plugin.2.25.260102.56`, 2026-06-29) sets `.hwctx_limit = 16` for
-  npu4/npu5 — i.e. **16 hardware contexts** on our device — and allocates each
-  context a set of AIE columns with QoS `opc = col_opc (4096) × num_col`
-  (`aie2_ctx.c`, `aie2_solver.h`), with `frame_boundary_preempt` /
-  `fill_preempt_slot` in `aie2_pci.h` (firmware preemption at frame boundaries).
-  So halogen's armed models and a TTS graph can hold separate contexts
-  simultaneously; they contend for columns and OPC share, they are not mutually
-  exclusive.
-* AMD's user-visible history agrees: 1.4 "Support for up to **16 hardware
-  contexts** on Ryzen AI 300 series"; 1.5 "Application concurrency: improves the
-  resource distribution across applications"; 1.3 "Idle detection and suspension
-  of contexts", "Rebalance feature for AIE hardware resource optimization";
-  1.0 known issue "Support for multiple applications is limited to up to eight"
-  (all in <https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/relnotes.html>).
-* **Package conflict, the real risk** [INFERENCE]: the vendor stack wants AMD's
-  XRT 2.25.37 + `xrt_plugin…amdxdna` deb **[host: distro `libxrt-npu2
-  1:2.21.75+dfsg-4` installed]**, and firmware must match the loaded `amdxdna.ko`
-  — the vendor README warns that a stale/mismatched `npu.sbin` causes
-  `ERT_CMD_ABORT`/mailbox timeouts, and that a distro **in-tree** `amdxdna` older
-  than the XRT SHIM makes `GET_ARRAY`/`QUERY_TELEMETRY` return
-  `EOPNOTSUPP`/`EINVAL` (<https://github.com/amd/xdna-driver> README,
-  fetched 2026-10-19). Installing AMD's debs over the distro XRT changes the ABI
-  under FastFlowLM/halogen, so the spike must decide the XRT version **once**, for
-  the whole host.
-* **iGPU / fabric clock:** no vendor document supports a fabric-clock pin, and no
-  vendor document addresses NPU+iGPU concurrency hangs. AMD's Strix Halo
-  optimization doc (ROCm docs, dated 2026-02-20, and its successor "AMD RDNA3.5
-  system optimization", ROCm 10.1.0) covers GPUVM/GART/GTT, the TTM `pages_limit`
-  knob, `amd-ttm`, BIOS VRAM sizing, and minimum kernel versions
-  (<https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/docs-7.2.0/how-to/system-optimization/strixhalo.html>,
-  <https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/reference/system-optimization/rdna3-5.html>).
-  The `pp_dpm_fclk` level-7 pin and the GPU+NPU hang observation stay
-  fleet-observed **[host]**, i.e. `[INFERENCE]` territory — no citation exists.
-
-## 7. Paths I checked and ruled out (so nobody re-walks them)
-
-* **Windows-only doors**: DirectML; Ryzen AI Windows EP; Lemonade's
-  `ryzenai-llm` and `whispercpp`-NPU engines (matrix above); AMD's OGA model
-  generation. Not usable on Dankclaw.
-* **Mainline ONNX Runtime** has no AMD-NPU EP: its EP summary lists AMD ROCm and
-  AMD MIGraphX (GPU) and "Xilinx Vitis-AI (*preview*)" only
-  (<https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/>, 2026-10-19); the working
-  EP is AMD's own build (`libonnxruntime_providers_ryzenai.so` in the tarball's
-  deployment dir, per llm_linux).
-* **ggml / llama.cpp / qwentts.cpp**: no XDNA backend → the current engine
-  (`tts-server` on GGUF, CPU-only build **[host]**) cannot be "turned on" for the
-  NPU; migration means a different runtime, not a flag.
-* **`flm`**: catalog/engines are closed per-architecture (§2) — the cheapest door
-  by install cost, and it is not a door for TTS.
-* **IRON / mlir-aie** is the only open toolchain that documents running on the
-  Ryzen AI NPU from Linux ("A close-to-metal Python API for programming AMD Ryzen™
-  AI NPUs, built on an open-source MLIR-based compiler toolchain"; "Getting
-  Started for AMD Ryzen™ AI on Linux", Ubuntu 24.04/24.10, XRT from
-  `ppa:amd-team/xrt`: `libxrt2 libxrt-npu2 … amdxdna-dkms`, `render` group
-  required) — <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Xilinx/mlir-aie/main/README.md>,
-  fetched 2026-10-19. This is how FLM's kernels were made ("Low-level kernels
-  optimized using IRON + AIE-MLIR", FLM README) — i.e. real, but it is
-  hand-written per-op tile programming, not a model compiler: writing a TTS model
-  here is a multi-month engineering project, not a migration.
-* **Embedded** Ryzen AI P100 support in the same Linux doc is irrelevant to STX.
-
-## 8. Recommendation implied by the above (for Main's spike)
-
-Spike the AMD path as decided, with these constraints planned in: Python 3.12 venv
-+ 24.04-built wheels on Ubuntu 26.04; one host-wide XRT decision (AMD 2.25.37 vs
-distro 2.21.75) with firmware/driver pairing checked via `xrt-smi examine` →
-"NPU Strix Halo"; 7.8 GiB tarball staged off the public CDN URL (§3); pre-encode
-each `reference.wav` with the **PyTorch** NeuCodec encoder because the ONNX codec
-is decoder-only; keep phonemizer + codec on CPU; measure decode tokens/s against
-the 50 Hz budget and peak RSS against the ~14 GiB headroom; expect to write the
-serving shell yourself (AMD ships `model_benchmark`, no TTS demo).
-
-## 9. Loose ends (not verified; I stopped on Main's stand-down)
-
-* Contents of `ryzen_ai-1.8.0.tgz` (7.8 GiB) — whether the Linux tarball contains
-  the AIE-ML compiler (`vaiml`, `aiecompiler_client`) for the *BF16/INT8* flows
-  and which Python wheels it carries. My statement that non-LLM compilation works
-  on Linux rests on AMD's own Linux doc ("quicktest.py … compiles it and runs on
-  … NPU"), not on the package contents. Download was killed mid-flight.
-* Whether AMD's `neutts` artifacts run correctly under the Linux `model_benchmark`
-  runner (the TTS rows are listed without OS qualifiers; no Linux TTS run is
-  documented anywhere in 1.8.0 docs).
-* Exact AIE column count/total `ncols` exposed for Strix Halo (driver reads it
-  from AIE metadata: `ndev->total_col = min(XRS_MAX_COL, ndev->aie.metadata.cols)`).

-
-## 1. What the payload is
-
-Two files, both read byte-for-byte off the live host (`/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF/`,
-owned `dank:dank`, mtimes 2026-10-18 18:31), both from
-`https://huggingface.co/Serveurperso/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF` (community converter, not Qwen):
-
-| file | bytes | GGUF | tensors | arch string | file_type |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `qwen-talker-1.7b-base-Q4_K_M.gguf` | 1,219,245,248 | v3, kv=64 | 480 | `qwen3-tts` | `Q4_K_M` |
-| `qwen-tokenizer-12hz-Q8_0.gguf` | 291,150,624 | v3, kv=51 | 398 | `qwen3-tts-tokenizer` | `Q8_0` |
-
-`general.name` of the talker file is `Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-base`; the header sizes add up
-to the file sizes (sum of tensor bytes + header + alignment padding), so nothing in these
-files is unaccounted for.
-
-### 1.1 Talker file (480 tensors)
-
-Three models in one container, per `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` §GGUF layout
-(qwentts.cpp @ pinned commit) and confirmed by the tensor census:
-
-| prefix | tensors | bytes | what it is |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `talker.*` | 316 | 1,061.9 MB | 28-layer Qwen3 decoder (hidden 2048, FFN 6144, 16 Q heads / 8 KV heads, head_dim 128, RoPE θ=1e6, RMS ε=1e-6, ctx 32768), text stream + codec stream summed, `codec_head` → 3072 codebook-0 logits |
-| `code_pred.*` | 88 | 114.8 MB | 5-layer Qwen3 MTP head (hidden 1024, FFN 3072, 15 acoustic codebooks × 2048), own KV cache |
-| `spk_enc.*` | 76 | 36.6 MB | ECAPA-TDNN speaker encoder (x-vector, base checkpoints only; mel → conv0 → 3 SE-Res2Net → MFA → ASP → 2048-d vector) |
-
-Dtype split (exact tensor byte sums): `q4_K` 250 tensors / 864.1 MB, `q6_K` 17 / 312.0 MB,
-`f32` 176 / 25.8 MB, `f16` 37 / 11.4 MB.
-
-Which tensors carry which quant is the load-bearing portability fact:
-
- `q6_K` (17): `talker.text_embd.weight [2048, 151936]` (255.3 MB), `talker.codec_embd.weight
-  [2048, 3072]`, and the 15 `code_pred.codec_embd.<g>.weight [2048, 2048]` embedding tables.
-  These are the llama.cpp `Q4_K_M` "embedding/output rows go to Q6_K" rule, applied to
-  embedding tables rather than to an `lm_head`.
- `q4_K` (250): every attention/FFN projection of the talker and of the code predictor.
-  Distinct matmul shapes: `[2048,2048]`×73, `[2048,1024]`×62, `[2048,6144]`×56,
-  `[6144,2048]`×28, `[1024,2048]`×20, `[1024,3072]`×10, `[1024,1024]`×10, `[3072,1024]`×5,
-  `[2048,3072]`×2, `[2048,151936]`×1. Every one is 2-D and ≥ 1024 on both axes — good
-  GEMM shapes, nothing exotic.
- `f32` (176) / `f16` (37): all of `spk_enc` (conv weights F16 because K=1/3/5 rows are not
-  block-alignable, per the converter's `should_quantize` policy in `tools/quantize.cpp` +
-  `quantize.sh`; every bias/norm/LayerScale vector F32), plus the talker/predictor norms and
-  the `text_proj` biases.
-
-Metadata the runtime actually reads (talker file): `qwen3-tts.num_code_groups=16`,
-`talker.vocab_size=3072`, `text_vocab_size=151936`, `text_hidden_size=2048`,
-`position_id_per_seconds=13`, `rope.mrope_section=[24,20,20]`, `mrope_interleaved=1`,
-the 7 codec special ids (pad 2148 / bos 2149 / eos 2150 / think 2154 / nothink 2155 /
-think_bos 2156 / think_eos 2157), `language_names` (10: chinese, english, german, italian,
-portuguese, spanish, japanese, korean, french, russian) with their codec ids, the text-side
-special ids (im_start 151644, im_end 151645, tts_pad 151671, tts_bos 151672, tts_eos 151673),
-the whole `generation_config.json` (do_sample, top_k 50, top_p 1.0, temperature 0.9,
-repetition_penalty 1.05, `subtalker_*` mirrors, max_new_tokens 8192), and an embedded
-**Qwen2 BPE tokenizer** (`tokenizer.ggml.model=gpt2`, 151,676 tokens, 151,291 merges,
-eos 151643) — that BPE block is 5.95 MB of the header, i.e. 49 % of the header is vocabulary.
-
-Two live-file details that contradict the upstream doc text (worth knowing when reading
-`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`: the doc example block is stale against the shipped file):
-`mrope_interleaved` is **1** (doc shows `false`), and `spk_enc.sample_rate` is **24000**
-(doc says 16000). Doc also says "404 tensors on the 1.7B voice_design build" — the base
-build shipped here has 480 because it carries `spk_enc.*`.

-One neural audio codec, 12.5 frames/s over 24 kHz mono, hop 1920, 16 codebooks × 2048
-entries (1 semantic + 15 acoustic). Dtype split: `f16` 50 / 143.6 MB, `q8_0` 110 / 76.9 MB,
-`f32` 238 / 70.7 MB. `tok_dec.*` 253 tensors / 201.3 MB, `tok_enc.*` 145 / 89.9 MB.
-
-Composition (metadata + tensor census, both files agree):
-
- **Encoder** (used only to make voice references, not on the synthesis hot path): SEANet
-  conv stack (init k=7, 4 stages with ratios 8/6/5/4 → cumulative 960×, 64→512 ch, final
-  k=3), an 8-layer transformer (hidden 512, 8 heads, head_dim 64, FFN 2048, RoPE 1e4,
-  LayerNorm+bias, GELU, LayerScale), a downsample conv k=4 s=2 (25 → 12.5 Hz), then the RVQ
-  argmin loop. Metadata records `encoder.num_quantizers=32` with
-  `encoder_valid_num_quantizers=16` — 16 codebooks are used, 16 are dead weight carried from
-  the upstream config.
- **Decoder** (the hot path: every generated frame): 16 codebook lookups + per-split
-  `output_proj` (256→512), `conv_pre`, an 8-layer transformer (hidden 512, 16/16 heads,
-  head_dim 64, FFN 1024, **sliding window 72**, RMSNorm, SwiGLU, LayerScale, input_proj
-  1024→512 / output_proj 512→1024), a ConvNeXt upampler (`upsampling_ratios=[2,2]`, causal
-  transposed convs + depthwise k=7), then a DAC-style decoder `dec.0..3`
-  (`upsample_rates=[8,5,4,3]`, channels 1536→768→384→192→96, `decoder_dim=1536`) whose blocks
-  are SnakeBeta → causal transposed conv (k = 2·stride) → 3 residual units (dilations 1/3/9)
-  → snake_post → conv_post k=7 → 96→1.
- All 32 codebook tensors are **F32, 67.1 MB total** (16 encode + 16 decode, `[256, 2048]`),
-  deliberately unquantized: the converter's `should_quantize` keeps RVQ codebooks and their
-  wrapping projections at F32 because nearest-neighbour lookup is sensitive to per-row
-  quantisation noise (`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` "Quantisation policy"; mirrored in
-  `quantize.sh`). 49 of the codec's 55 3-D conv tensors are **F16** with non-alignable K
-  (7, 3, 2, 1, 16, 10, …) — they cannot be block-quantized at all.
- **No flow matching, no diffusion, no vocoder-with-ODE.** It is a pure RVQ codec
-  (Mimi/SoundStream/Mimi-style: SEANet + transformer + DAC decoder). That matters for the
-  NPU question: every component is convolution, attention, or embedding lookup.
-
-### 1.3 Where the payload came from, and what the official weights look like
-
-Official upstream (`huggingface.co/api/models`, retrieved 2026-10-19):
-
-| repo | last modified | license | weights |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-Base` | 2026-01-23 | apache-2.0 | `model.safetensors` BF16, 1,928,677,440 params, plus an embedded `speech_tokenizer/model.safetensors` |
-| `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-CustomVoice` | 2026-01-29 | apache-2.0 | same layout, named-speaker tables |
-| `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign` | 2026-01-29 | apache-2.0 | 1.7B only |
-| `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base` / `-0.6B-CustomVoice` | 2026-01-29 | apache-2.0 | narrow variant (hidden 1024) |
-| `Qwen/Qwen3-TTS-Tokenizer-12Hz` | 2026-01-29 | apache-2.0 | codec alone, F32, 170,557,441 params |
-
-So the GGUF is **not** the only public form: the safetensors are the canonical form
-(Apache-2.0, no separate community license risk), and the GGUF is a lossy re-quantization of
-them produced by the same author who wrote the runtime (`Serveurperso`), via
-`checkpoints.sh` → `convert.py` (F32 GGUF) → `quantize.sh` (BF16/Q8_0/Q4_K_M).
-Sizes to remember for any re-export: the talker container is 1.93 B params in BF16
-(that count includes the embedded codec), the codec alone is 170.6 M params in F32.
-
-**Portability consequence #1 — the GGUF is a dead end off-ggml.** Q4_K/Q6_K are ggml
-block formats (256-element super-blocks, F16 sub-block scales, 144 B / 210 B per block). No
-ONNX graph, no Vitis-AI/AIE-ML compiler, and no vendor NPU runtime consumes them; AMD's own
-quantizer works from ONNX (`ryzenai-quantize`, QDQ/QOP power-of-two — Ryzen AI Software
-1.8.0 release notes, https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/relnotes.html). Moving the
-payload to a non-ggml stack therefore means starting from the safetensors again, not
-converting the GGUF.
-
-**Portability consequence #2 — the quantization split is semantic, not cosmetic.** The
-converter keeps RVQ codebooks, `input_proj`/`output_proj` around them, and every 1-D and
-non-alignable-conv tensor out of the k-quants precisely because quantizing them breaks voice
-fidelity. Any re-quantization path (GPTQ/AWQ/QDQ-INT8/INT4 for an NPU compiler) inherits that
-constraint: the talker backbone is requantizable, the codec's codebook lookups and SnakeBeta
-convs are not, at least not without re-measuring voice quality.
-
-## 2. What the runtime is
-
-`qwentts.cpp` @ `5916bf7c` (2026-10-16, MIT; upstream model Apache-2.0) is a C++17 ggml
-application — 43 files under `src/` + `tools/`, three binaries (`qwen-tts`, `qwen-codec`,
-`tts-server`) over one public plain-C99 ABI (`src/qwen.h`, `qt_*`, `QT_ABI_VERSION`
-range-checked; `tests/abi-c.c` is compiled `-std=c99 -Wall -Werror -pedantic` on every
-build). It is not a llama.cpp derivative: it links ggml directly and builds its own graphs.
-
-Five graph families, and their shapes are the whole portability story:
-
-| graph | batch/time axis | notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| talker prefill | T = prompt length (hundreds–thousands) | summed text+codec embedding streams, 28-layer GQA decoder, KV cache |
-| talker decode | **T = 1 per audio frame** | 12.5 frames/s → 80 ms of audio per step; `codec_head` → 3072 logits |
-| code predictor (MTP) | **T = 1, 16 steps per frame** (2 prefill + 14 decode, cache reset every frame) | 5-layer decoder, 15 heads × 2048 |
-| speaker encoder | one pass per voice registration | ECAPA-TDNN with mel fused into the graph |
-| codec decode | offline: T = 300-frame chunks; streaming: **T = 1 frame** with persistent conv/KV-ring state | the streaming graph is built once with fixed topology so the CUDA graph cache stays in pure replay |
-
-Per generated frame the host therefore runs ~1 + 16 + 1 tiny graph computes for 80 ms of
-audio, and `tts-server` serializes synthesis FIFO (`--max-batch` defaults to 1, and the
-fleet runs it at 1). This is the archetypal latency-bound, bandwidth-bound,
-batch-1 workload; the only big-M matmuls in the whole system are the prefill and the
-chunked (buffered) codec decode.
-
-Op contract actually issued to ggml (`src/`, counted): `mul_mat` 77, `cont` 70, `add` 57,
-`mul` 40, `rms_norm` 22, `clamp` 15, `rope_ext` 12, `get_rows` 12, `set_rows` 8,
-`scale_bias` 6, `swiglu_split` 5, `sqr` 5, `mean` 5, `elu` 4, `col2im_1d` 4, `soft_max` 3,
-`conv_1d` 3, `im2col` 2, `cumsum` 2, `sin`, `sigmoid`, `tanh`, `div`, `argsort`, `transpose`,
-`permute`, `reshape/view`, plus the CPU-side Philox multinomial sampler.
-
-**No custom ggml op is required today.** The repo doc still says the fork "provides the two
-custom ops the codec needs: `GGML_OP_SNAKE` and `GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D`"; that is stale at the
-pinned commit. Verified 2026-10-19:
-
- the submodule `ServeurpersoCom/ggml` @ `cc5df49` is upstream `ggml-org/ggml` master
-  (`a05c992`, 2026-10-15) **+2 commits, 0 behind** (GitHub compare API), and
-  `include/ggml.h` is byte-identical to upstream master (`diff` empty);
- the 2 commits are `193e339` (2026-06-19) "cpu: add fused snake activation
-  (mul -> sin -> sqr -> mul -> add)" — a **CPU subgraph fusion**, not an op (the runtime
-  builds snake with `ggml_sin`/`ggml_sqr`/`ggml_mul`/`ggml_add` in `src/dac-decoder-v2.h:222`),
-  and `cc5df49` "sycl: fix get_rows on reordered quantized weights";
- `ggml_col2im_1d` is an **upstream ggml API** (same declaration, line 2097, in both trees);
-  the Vulkan backend fuses the snake chain through ggml's generic subgraph fuser
-  (`ggml-vulkan.cpp:14548 ggml_vk_can_fuse_snake`, `vulkan-shaders/snake.comp`).
-
-Consequence: any stock ggml build (upstream, or llama.cpp's vendored ggml) can execute this
-payload; only the CPU snake fusion is fork-specific, and it is a performance nicety.
-
-Backend/device support: every tool takes `--device <name>` (`CUDA0`, `Vulkan0`, `MTL0`,
-`CPU…`, default best available), resolved through the ggml backend registry; the deployed
-container turns CUDA/HIP/Vulkan/Metal/SYCL/RPC/BLAS all OFF and compiles the native-CPU
-backend with OpenMP, with CPU threads = `hardware_concurrency()/2` (`src/backend.h`).
-The registry in this ggml knows CPU, CUDA, Metal, SYCL, Vulkan, WebGPU, ZDNN, OpenCL,
-**Hexagon**, BLAS, RPC, VirtGPU, **CANN**, ZenDNN, **OpenVINO**, ET — and nothing AMD-NPU
-(no `xdna`/`aie`/`vitis`/`ryzen` string anywhere in the ggml tree).
-
-Voice handling (what the fleet depends on): the registry is **process RAM only**; a restart
-empties it, which is why the unit has a boot warmer. `POST /v1/audio/voices` accepts either
-`{name, ref_text, wav_b64}` (server extracts) or `{name, ref_text, spk_b64, rvq_b64}`
-(pre-extracted latents verbatim); `ref_text` present ⇒ ICL clone mode, absent ⇒ x-vector-only
-mode. `.spk` = the ECAPA x-vector; `.rvq` = 16 codes/frame packed 11 bits LSB-first
-(`src/rvq-file.h`). `wav` and `pcm` `response_format` are different audio at the same seed
-(buffered chunked decode vs stateful streaming decode) — the fleet already encodes that rule.
-
-Parity expectations for any port: the upstream harness matches the PyTorch reference per
-stage (embed cos 0.999988, all 28 hidden taps ≥ 0.999893, logits 0.999824) but explicitly
-reports free-run divergence (`CodesFull exact 4.96 %`, `Audio cos 0.095`) and explains why —
-one argmax tie at FP epsilon diverts the AR trajectory. So a migrated endpoint must be
-accepted by listening + per-stage cosine, never by waveform diff against today's audio.

-
-## 3. The three answers Main asked for
-
-### ANSWER A — Qwen3-TTS GGUF → ONNX: no, and it does not matter
-
-There is **no GGUF→ONNX path** and there will not be a useful one: GGUF is a weight
-container for ggml, its Q4_K/Q6_K block layouts have no ONNX consumer, and nothing in the
-GGUF carries the *graph* (the talker/predictor/codec structure lives in C++ code, only the
-op-level structure exists in ggml at runtime). But the GGUF is not the payload's only form —
-official Apache-2.0 safetensors are upstream, and **four independent ports of the full
-pipeline already exist**:
-
-| port | form | what it proves |
-|---|---|---|
-| `xkos/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-ONNX` (HF, updated 2026-03-03, apache-2.0) | FP16+FP32 ONNX, fp16/voice_clone + fp16/voice_design splits: `talker_decode.onnx`, `code_predictor.onnx`, `code_predictor_kv.onnx`, `code_predictor_embed_g0..15.onnx`, `text_embedding.onnx`, `codec_embedding.onnx`, shared `speaker_encoder.onnx`, `speech_tokenizer_encoder.onnx`, `speech_tokenizer_decoder.onnx`, `model_cache.npz` | every component of this architecture exports to ONNX, codec decoder included |
-| `zhangluoyang/qwen3-tts-onnxruntime` | export tooling + Python inference for Base/CustomVoice/VoiceDesign | the export is reproducible from the official checkpoints |
-| `Echo9Zulu/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-CustomVoice-1.7B-INT8-OpenVINO`, `aurora2035/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base-OpenVINO-INT8` (2026-03) | OpenVINO IR, **INT8**: `talker`, `code_predictor`, `codec_embedding`, `text_model`, `openvino_speaker_encoder_model`, `speech_tokenizer/speech_decoder` | the talker and predictor INT8-quantize for an NPU-targeting stack |
-| `litert-community/Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-0.6B-Base` (2026-10-17, apache-2.0) | `qwen3_tts_int8.litertlm` / `_int4.litertlm` (LiteRT-LM `OmniEngine`), legacy split graphs `talker_int4.tflite` (prefill_32/prefill_128/decode signatures, KV 1024, blockwise-32 OCTAV INT4), `mtp_folded_int8.tflite` (16 inner steps × 5 layers folded into one graph, in-graph argmax+gather, GPTQ int8, ~5× faster), `codec_partA` (transformer, fp32) + `codec_partB` (conv upsampler, XNNPACK FORCE_FP16, ~2.5×, "ASR-identical") | an NPU/mobile compiler accepts the whole thing — at the price of graph splitting, static prefill buckets, and folding the per-frame inner loop |
-
-What the ports had to concede, and what any port inherits:
-
- the generation structure does not fit existing engine loops: LiteRT-LM's Engine "does not
-  support this generation structure yet", so their first shape was **three graphs + a
-  host-side loop**, and the MTP step was "invoked 17× per frame" until they folded it;
- per-step dispatch cost dominates: even on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 they keep the MTP
-  loop, text projection, embedding gathers and the codec on CPU "avoiding 16 synchronous
-  CPU↔GPU round-trips per 80 ms frame", putting only the 28-layer talker on the GPU;
- RTF on that hardware is **2.57–2.97 (Galaxy S26) and 5.65–8.48 (Pixel 10 Pro)** for the
-  0.6 B model, i.e. 2.6–8× slower than real time. Dankclaw's current CPU engine measures
-  **warm RTF 0.55–0.67 with TTFA 94–112 ms** on the 1.7 B model (fleet trial, 2026-10-18).
-  An NPU port is not "faster by default" for this workload; it has to beat that.
- quantize the LM (int8/int4: proven), keep the codec's codebook lookups and SnakeBeta convs
-  in fp16/fp32 (the LiteRT split does exactly this).
-
-So: the answer to "can the fleet's payload be exported" is *yes — from the safetensors, not
-from the GGUF*, and the work is a pipeline rewrite (multi-graph host loop, per-frame fold,
-static prefill buckets), not a conversion. That is the same conclusion NeuTTS-Air's
-precompiled-graph route encodes: on AMD's Linux stack the graph is vendor-curated, so the
-fleet chooses the model that AMD already compiled rather than compiling Qwen3-TTS.
-
-### ANSWER B — is there any ggml backend for an AMD NPU? Not upstream; three out-of-tree, none for TTS
-
-Checked against the trees today (2026-10-19), because this was the crux:
-
- **Nothing in-tree.** `ggml-org/llama.cpp` master (4,237 paths, GitHub tree API) contains no
-  `xdna`/`aie`/`vitis`/`ryzen` file or directory; the ggml backend set is CPU, BLAS, CUDA,
-  HIP, Metal, Vulkan, SYCL, OpenCL, WebGPU, MUSA, RPC, CANN (Ascend), **Hexagon** (Qualcomm),
-  OpenVINO (Intel CPU/GPU/NPU), ZenDNN, ZDNN, VirtGPU, ET. The deployed fork's registry
-  matches. The feature request "Feature Request: XDNA backend" (llama.cpp issue **#21725**,
-  opened 2026-04-10) is still **open**, 34 comments; the older #1499 was closed stale
-  2025-04-07. So Main's premise is confirmed: no ggml XDNA backend exists to flip a flag on.
- **`Cyronius/ggml-xdna`** — a real ggml backend (`XDNA0`) loaded into *stock* llama.cpp via
-  `GGML_BACKEND_PATH`, no fork. It does bfp16 (8-value blocks sharing an exponent) GEMMs from
-  GGUF weights, and is **prefill-only**: it takes only matmuls in prompt chunks ≥ 1024 tokens
-  (`GGML_XDNA_MIN_BATCH` default 1024, `GGML_XDNA_MIN_MFLOP` 256), attention and every decode
-  token stay on the Vulkan device; pinned to llama.cpp release b10944; tested on Strix Point
-  (HX 370) only — Strix Halo "should pass, but nobody has run it on one yet"; Linux support
-  new and untested on hardware by the author; needs `libxrt-npu2`, `/dev/accel/accel0`,
-  unlimited `memlock`. Best measured prefill gain 1.88× on a 27 B model; models under
-  2,048-wide **lose** (0.77× at width 1,536).
- **`BrandedTamarasu-glitch/OllamaAMDNPU`** — a llama.cpp fork with `-DGGML_XDNA=ON`,
-  explicitly targeting **Ryzen AI MAX / XDNA2 on Linux** (`/dev/accel/accel0`, XRT 2.21.75+,
-  amdxdna, unlimited memlock). It implements **only `GGML_OP_MUL_MAT`**, dispatched to
-  mlir-aie-compiled `.xclbin`s built per fixed tile shape (e.g. `M=2048 K=2048 N=64`,
-  int8 in / int32 out, per-row weight scales cached at first use), with a second slot for a
-  different K. Its own numbers on a Ryzen AI MAX 385 with Llama-3.1-8B Q4_K_M: NPU prefill
-  12–19 t/s vs **Vulkan iGPU 600–930 t/s**, NPU decode **0.65–1.40 t/s** ("Decode does not
-  use the NPU … M=1 per token, no xclbin covers it"), 0.6 % AIE utilization, and the stated
-  conclusion "**For LLaMA 8B on Strix Halo: use Vulkan exclusively**". Single-maintainer,
-  AI-assisted, self-measured — treat as a proof of concept, but it is the closest published
-  picture of what XDNA2 graph execution costs.
- Also referenced in the same thread: `Atomic-Germ/OpenFlowLM-Next` (whole-model NPU engine,
-  LLM-only — and slower than the iGPU in the same comparison), `GaTmaNnes/xdna2-`,
-  `hardWorker254/Npu-Embeddings-XDNA1` (adds Whisper ASR ops, NPU1/Linux). None is a TTS path.
-
-Why none of them would carry this workload even if installed: the TTS hot loop is **batch-1
-by construction** (one talker step + 16 predictor steps + one codec frame per 80 ms), which
-sits under every dispatch gate those backends define (≥1024 tokens / ≥32768 M·N·K / tile M
-covering only prefill), and the codec half of the pipeline is conv, col2im, gather and
-elementwise ops — not `MUL_MAT` — so it would fall back to CPU op-by-op. The NPU case for
-this host is therefore *not* "run Qwen3-TTS on the NPU"; it is "run a vendor-compiled AR TTS
-graph on the NPU", which is exactly the NeuTTS-Air spike.
-
-### ANSWER C — would `qwentts.cpp` build for the gfx1151 iGPU? Yes, via **Vulkan**, not HIP
-
- Upstream ships the build scripts and claims the backends: `buildvulkan.sh` ("AMD/Intel GPU
-  (Vulkan)"), `buildcuda.sh`, `buildsycl.sh`, `buildcpu.sh`, `buildall.sh` (all backends,
-  runtime dynamic loading), and README line 6 "runs on CPU, CUDA, Metal, Vulkan". CMake knobs
-  `GGML_VULKAN` / `GGML_HIP` / `GGML_SYCL` are the same ones the fleet's Containerfile turns
-  OFF, so the engine rebuild is a flag change: `-DGGML_VULKAN=ON` plus
-  `--device Vulkan0` on the same command line the unit runs today.
- The codec's exotic ops are covered by the Vulkan backend, which is the thing that decides
-  whether a GPU build is coherent: `vulkan-shaders/col2im_1d.comp`, `snake.comp`,
-  `swiglu*.comp`, `cumsum*.comp` exist and `supports_op` handles `GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D` /
-  `CONV_TRANSPOSE_1D` / `CUMSUM`. By contrast `COL2IM_1D` appears in **no** HIP, OpenCL,
-  WebGPU, Hexagon or CANN source — a **HIP** (ROCm) build would shard the ConvNeXt/DAC
-  transposed convs back to the CPU per op. On an AMD iGPU the portable path is RADV/Vulkan.
- `--device` also accepts a multi-device split (`-dev`-style naming is ggml's), and the
-  runtime's documented FP16 guard (`--clamp-fp16`) exists for sub-Ampere CUDA accumulation;
-  nothing in the tree is NVIDIA-specific.
- Unverified by me: any vendor statement pairing this fork with gfx1151. Supporting evidence
-  that the hardware/driver combination is viable: this very host already runs a Vulkan
-  endpoint on the gfx1151 iGPU (fleet ground truth, 2026-10-19), and Mesa's Vulkan
-  implementation is officially supported on Radeon Software for Linux
-  (AMD release notes RN-AMDGPU-UNIFIED-LINUX-25.20.3). A gfx1151 Vulkan build of this fork is
-  a build-and-measure spike, not an unsupported port.
- The real constraint is the one already in the fleet docs: the iGPU belongs to another
-  endpoint, and GPU+NPU concurrency has hung Strix Halo machines. An iGPU TTS build competes
-  with the text endpoints for the same silicon; the NPU route's only genuine advantage is
-  that it does not (the XDNA backend authors make the same argument: "Use NPU when the iGPU
-  is busy … no GPU contention").

-
-## 4. What any replacement must reproduce, and what the voices cost
-
-Endpoint contract in production today (from the live unit/env, not the doc):
-`tts-server --model qwen-talker-1.7b-base-Q4_K_M.gguf --codec qwen-tokenizer-12hz-Q8_0.gguf
--alias frank-tts-engine --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8880 --lang auto --max-batch 1`, no published
-port (the façade on :7772 dials the private bridge name), `GET /health`, `GET /v1/models`,
-`GET|POST /v1/audio/voices`, `DELETE /v1/audio/voices/{name}`, `POST /v1/audio/speech` with
-`response_format` wav|pcm (different audio at equal seed) and optional `seed`,
-`max_new_tokens`, `temperature`, `top_k`, `top_p`, `repetition_penalty`, `subtalker_*`.
-Voice registry is RAM-only, so boot warming is mandatory, and `--alias` keeps the quantization
-choice out of every consumer's config.
-
-Live voice census on Dankclaw (2026-10-19, `/home/dank/voices/`): three packs
-(`narrator1..3`), each carrying `reference.wav` (24 kHz mono crop), `reference16k.wav`,
-`manifest.json` (keys: name, kind, generated_utc, pipeline, source, forbidden_region_guard,
-silence_scan, crop, loudnorm, audio, acceptance, acceptance_passed) and ffmpeg analysis
-artifacts. **No `.spk` and no `.rvq` exist on the live host** — the repo's
-`build-voice-pack.sh` treats them as required-but-they-are-not-there, so today the engine
-re-extracts the x-vector (and the ICL codes when a transcript is supplied) from the WAV at
-registration time.
-
-That is the portable part, and it is the same shape AMD's NeuTTS flow wants
-(`encode_reference(reference.wav)` + a reference transcript): the fleet's voice identity is
-*the WAV plus its transcript*, processed at request/registration time by the model's own
-speaker encoder + codec — **never a trained per-voice artifact**. Qwen3-TTS cloning is
-inference-time conditioning (`generate_voice_clone(ref_audio=…, ref_text=…, x_vector_only_mode=…)`;
-`create_voice_clone_prompt` exists purely to avoid recomputing prompt features). So any
-replacement that consumes a WAV (+transcript) keeps all three narrators alive with no
-re-derivation, and if it wants precomputed latents instead, the LiteRT precedent shows what
-that looks like: a 4 KB x-vector `.npy` per voice, extracted offline
-(`extract_speaker_embedding.py`) — for the 1.7 B base checkpoint that vector is 2048-dim
-(`qwen3-tts.spk_enc.embedding_length = 2048` in the shipped GGUF; the LiteRT 0.6 B bundle
-ships a 1024-dim one).
-
-One trap for a mixed-runtime future: `.spk`/`.rvq` files, if they are ever written, are
-engine-specific encodings (ECAPA x-vector layout; 11-bit-packed RVQ stream) and are **not**
-interchangeable between runtimes. Keep `reference.wav` as the pack's source of truth and
-regenerate anything derived per engine — which is what the NeuTTS re-clone plan does anyway.

-# TTS on the Strix Halo NPU — spike verdict (2026-10-19)
-
-Question: **how can the fleet's TTS engine run on hardware rather than CPU?** Answer in
-one line: not on the NPU — the loader, not the silicon, refuses it; the door that exists is
-the gfx1151 iGPU behind a build flag we already own.
-
-Spike evidence lives in `report/npu-tts-runtime-landscape-2026-10-19.md` (which runtimes can
-reach XDNA2 at all) and `report/qwen3-tts-payload-portability-2026-10-19.md` (what the
-payload is and where it can be moved). This page owns only the **measured spike result** and
-the **model-side contract** neither slice has. Throwaway work ran in containers under
-`/home/dank/spikes/npu-tts` on Dankclaw; nothing in the fleet was changed — `frank-tts` and
-`frank-tts-engine` still serve `narrator1|2|3` on CPU.
-
-Legend: **[host]** live census 2026-10-19 · **[spike]** measured in the spike containers ·
-**[vendor]** primary vendor source, with the version it holds for.
-
-## 1. Verdict
-
-**NO-GO on the NPU, and the wall is a loader.** The XDNA2 device is healthy by AMD's own
-instruments; the runtime that owns this model family opens the device and then declines the
-graph, silently. One run loaded successfully; byte-identical runs never reproduced it, and a
-path that cannot be reproduced is not a foundation. **[spike]**
-
-**Go on the iGPU, and the lever is in this repo.**
-`dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine` builds `qwentts.cpp` (commit `5916bf7`) with
-`-DGGML_VULKAN=OFF` written out deliberately beside CUDA/HIP/METAL/SYCL/RPC — the running
-container carries `libggml-base.so.0.27.0` + `libggml-cpu.so.0.27.0` + `tts-server` and
-nothing else. So: `-DGGML_VULKAN=ON` + `--device Vulkan0`, plus `/dev/dri` passthrough in
-the engine quadlet (the ComfyUI pattern: `AddDevice` + `GroupAdd=keep-groups` + a
-world-writable udev rule). The target shape is **co-tenancy** — the engine resident on the
-gfx1151 *beside* `frank-dragoon`, not a handover. §5 carries the census and both gates:
-the **heap gate is PASSED** — RADV's `DEVICE_LOCAL` heap is 77.33 GiB with 65.16 GiB of
-budget while dragoon is loaded, so memory is not the constraint — which leaves the
-contention gate (dragoon's TTFT with a synthesis in flight) and one unproven piece:
-whether qwentts.cpp's codec ops have Vulkan kernels for every op. **[host]** **[spike]**
-
-Why the iGPU is worth doing at all, given CPU already works: the deployed payload needs
-only **12.5 codes/s** (§2), so this is latency headroom and freed cores, not reviving a
-dead service. The independent Strix Halo measurement in the portability slice ("use Vulkan
-exclusively"; NPU decode under 1.5 t/s for an 8B) points the same way.
-
-## 2. The two arms do not share a real-time bar
-
-|Arm|Talker|Codec|Codes per second of audio|Bar|
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-|**Deployed** (`frank-tts-engine`)|`qwen-talker-1.7b-base-Q4_K_M.gguf`|`qwen-tokenizer-12hz-Q8_0.gguf`|**12.5**|~13 tok/s **[host]**|
-|**Spike** (`amd/neutts-air_rai_1.8.0_npu_4K`)|NuTTS-Air, 24-layer Qwen2|NeuCodec `24000 / hop 480`|**50.00**|~50 tok/s **[spike]**|
-
-Measured from the staged NPU artifact — the contract any future arm must satisfy:
-
-|Fact|Value|
-|---|---|
-Vocab|`genai_config.json` `vocab_size` **217,652**; base BPE 151,643; specials 151,644–151,670 **[spike]**|
-Speech tokens|**65,536** `<|speech_N|>` entries, ids **151,671–217,206** contiguous; the vendor template maps a codec index straight to its id, `"".join(f"<|speech_{i}|>")`. A 10,001-code assumption silently truncates the space — encoded references really do reach the 60k range. **[spike]**|
-Stop token|`<|SPEECH_GENERATION_END|>` = 151,670, but the export's `model.eos_token_id` is `[151645, 151643]` (the *chat turn* stop) and `search.eos_token_ids` is unset — pass 151,670 explicitly or speech ends after one token **[spike]**|
-Input ceiling|4096 tokens **total**, input + output **[vendor]**|
-Frame rate|50.00 codes/s confirmed across three references (49.96 / 49.99 / 50.00) **[spike]**|
-Reference encode|`librosa.load(sr=16000, mono=True)` → `[1,1,T]` float → `codec.encode_code(audio_or_path=…)` (vendor `NeuTTS.encode_reference`); CPU RTF 0.28–0.38 on 8 threads, so codes are a cacheable one-time cost, never a per-request charge. `neucodec` also needs `torchtune`; install both `--no-deps --target <dir>` so a second torch never shadows the venv's. **[spike]**|
-Pre-encoded voices|`/spike/logs/codes-narrator{1,2,3}.npy` — 994 / 1,249 / 1,250 codes for 19.90 / 24.98 / 25.00 s **[spike]**|
-
-**Gap that any arm inherits:** the voice packs carry no transcript. `manifest.json` holds
-provenance and crop geometry (`crop.source_speech_run` 98.739–118.636 s of a 22,569 s
-audiobook) and no text, and Dankclaw has no ASR at all — `whisper`, `whisper.cpp`,
-`faster-whisper` all absent. NuTTS conditioning needs `ref_text`; do not invent it. **[host]**
-
-## 3. Exoneration chain — why the blame is not the hardware
-
-Every row is an instrument, not an inference.
-
-|Probe|Result|
-|---|---|
-`xrt-smi examine`|`[0000:c6:00.1] RyzenAI-npu5 aie2p 6x8`, XRT 2.25.37 (vendor extract), NPU fw 1.1.2.65, `amdxdna 7.0.0-38-generic` **[spike]**|
-`xrt-smi validate`|**PASSED**, including `throughput` **[spike]**|
-`pyxrt.device(0)` in-container|constructs — XRT enumerates the device **[spike]**|
-`strace -f -e trace=openat` on the failing load|`genai_config.json` read → `model.onnx` opened → `libxrt_driver_xdna.so.2` loaded → `/dev/accel/accel0` opened `O_RDWR` → GEM ioctls succeed → **EP declines, before touching `dd_metastate_*` or `cache/txn_bins.zip`** **[spike]**|
-`dmesg`, `fuser /dev/accel/accel0`|silent since boot, no holder — the decline never reaches the kernel **[spike]**|
-Hardlinked mirror dirs of the model tree (`rundir*`)|retired, no change — the "metastate shadowing" theory is dead **[spike]**|
-Every logging lever in that build: `GENAI_ORT_VERBOSE_LOGGING`, `GENAI_LOG_ORT_LIB`, `set_log_options`, `set_log_callback(callable)`, `RYZENAI_EP_TRACING`, `RYZENAI_LLM_PROFILE_INIT`|**zero lines** — the decline path is silent **[spike]**|
-Vendor `quicktest`|`Session successfully initialized` — proves the XRT/driver/device path, **not** NPU residency: that build falls back to CPU silently. Prove residency with `/sys/class/accel/accel0/device/mem_usage` during generation. **[spike] [vendor]**|
-
-No NPU token rate was ever measured, so none is quoted here. The single successful load
-(13:17, `[load] 0.84s`, finite logits, XRT banner at *generate* time) has not been
-reproduced by the byte-identical command since, with the model files pristine by inode and
-mtime. **[spike]**
-
-## 4. Host gates the spike proved (so they are not re-litigated)
-
- **Rootless containers cannot read `/dev/accel/accel0`** (`root:render` 0660): the host
-  gid never enters the userns map. `--group-add keep-groups`, `--userns=keep-id`,
-  `--userns=keep-id:gid=990`, `--group-add render`, `--group-add gid:990` — all fail.
-  Doors: rootful podman (separate storage), or a world-writable udev rule, which the fleet
-  already does for `kfd`/`renderD*`. **[spike]**
- **Never `dpkg -i` the vendor XRT deb** — it installs a DKMS `amdxdna` over the distro
-  driver. `dpkg-deb -x` the debs and bind-mount the tree at `/opt/xilinx/xrt`; the plugin
-  deb is what carries `libxrt_driver_xdna.so`. **[spike]**
- In-tree `amdxdna 0.7.0-38` + `iommu=pt` is enough for context creation; a missing device
-  node is *not* the modern failure mode. **[host]**
- `xrt-smi` inside a container needs `libboost-filesystem1.83.0` +
-  `libboost-program-options1.83.0` (**hyphenated** Ubuntu names, after `apt update`);
-  boost is needed by `xrt-smi` only, never by the OGA/EP path. **[spike]**
- Headroom is tight and it is host RAM, not a separate pool — see §5 for tonight's census.
-  A multi-GB NPU partition plus an AIE compile workspace does not fit beside
-  `frank-dragoon`. Benign-looking `Failed to alloc dev bo memory, ret -28` is that
-  pressure. **[host]**
-
-## 5. Target shape: the TTS engine shares the gfx1151 with `frank-dragoon`
-
-The deployment Frank wants is **both resident at once**, not a handover. Measured 2026-10-19
-(read-only, nothing loaded or unloaded):
-
-|Measure|Value|Reading|
-|---|---|---|
-iGPU GTT in use|**18,523 MiB of 116,733 MiB**|≈96 GiB of aperture free; this is the real budget (fleet law) **[host]**|
-DRM "VRAM" carve-out|2,048 MiB total, 174 MiB used|what KFD/DRM calls dedicated — **not** the budget **[host]**|
-Host RAM|121 GiB total, 17 GiB available, 79 GiB buff/cache|**GTT pages are system pages**: an iGPU allocation is host RAM consumed, so the two tenants share one pool **[host]**|
-TTS engine today|3.84 GiB RSS, CPU|its device-resident replacement lands in that same pool **[host]**|
-
-**Two gates, in this order.**
-
-1. **Heap gate — PASSED.** RADV does **not** hand a container tenant the 2 GiB DRM
-   carve-out. `vulkaninfo` inside the engine's own base image (`ubuntu:24.04` plus
-   `mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-tools`, `--device /dev/dri`, rootless) sees
-   `Radeon 8060S Graphics (RADV GFX1151)`, driver `radv`, API 1.4.318, and reports:
-
-   |Heap|size|budget with dragoon loaded|flags|
-   |---|---|---|---|
-   |0|38.67 GiB|32.58 GiB|host-visible, not device-local|
-   |1|**77.33 GiB**|**65.16 GiB**|`DEVICE_LOCAL`|
-
-   The heaps sum to the ~116 GiB aperture in Mesa's ⅓/⅔ APU split — the same RAM twice:
-   a Vulkan allocation is a GTT mapping, so a budget is a ceiling on mappings, not a pile
-   of free silicon memory. ggml's Vulkan backend asks for `DEVICE_LOCAL`, which is heap 1,
-   and the TTS engine needs roughly 4 GiB of it. **Memory stops being the question.** **[spike]**
-   Probe traps: `vulkaninfo --batch` is not a flag in this `vulkan-tools` (it prints the
-   help page and exits 1 — use `vulkaninfo --text`), and the container has **no NVIDIA
-   ICD**, so Vulkan device 0 is the iGPU here. Do not trust that ordering — select by
-   device *name*, or an image that grows an `nvidia_icd.json` silently points TTS at the
-   3090 slot.
-2. **Contention gate — PASSED, measured 2026-10-19 after the cutover.** With a 16.9 s
-   synthesis occupying the device, `frank-dragoon` answered a streamed 124-token request at
-   **17 ms to first token and ~35 tok/s decode**, against 17 ms and ~33 tok/s for the same
-   request with the card idle. Compute-unit sharing showed up as nothing. One request per
-   arm, no ladder: these are the gate's evidence, not a throughput record, and the engine's
-   own shape lives in [[Frank TTS Engine]].
-
-**Change surface — as landed** (PR #34, `6248f02`; the CPU shape stays reachable as the
-rollback):
-
-1. `Containerfile.engine` build stage: add **`libvulkan-dev glslc spirv-headers`**. The
-   prediction above (`libvulkan-dev glslang-dev`) is wrong on two counts and the configure
-   says so: ggml looks for `glslc`, which Ubuntu's `glslang-tools` does **not** ship (it
-   ships `glslangValidator`), and `find_package(SPIRV-Headers CONFIG REQUIRED)` needs the
-   distro's `spirv-headers`, which does carry the CMake config. `glslc` is its own source
-   package on noble, at 2023.8 — old enough that only `GL_KHR_cooperative_matrix` compiles,
-   so the coopmat2 / integer-dot / bf16 / micro-float shader families are built out. Suspect
-   that compiler before the device if a Vulkan prefill ever reads as slow.
-2. `-DGGML_VULKAN=OFF` → `ON`: one word in the written-out flag list.
-3. Runtime stage: `mesa-vulkan-drivers` **and** `libvulkan1` — the ICD and its loader. An
-   image with a loader and no ICD enumerates zero devices.
-4. `frank-tts-engine.container`: `AddDevice=/dev/dri` + `GroupAdd=keep-groups` — the
-   DIRECTORY, never the node: on this hybrid box `renderD128` is the NVIDIA card and
-   `renderD129` the amdgpu iGPU (`readlink -f /sys/class/drm/renderD129/device/driver` →
-   `amdgpu`). On this host the udev rule already makes the nodes world-writable, so the
-   group is belt-and-braces, not the gate.
-5. Engine argv: `--device Vulkan0`, reached through `QWENTTS_DEVICE` in
-   `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env`. **An empty value passes no flag at all** — that is the
-   CPU rollback, and it is why the entrypoint's default is an `-v` test rather than `:=`,
-   which also fires on a set-but-empty value and would silently undo the rollback.
-
-Gate 1 recipe, already run and **PASSED**: `mesa-vulkan-drivers` + `vulkan-tools` in a
-throwaway container off the same base, `--device /dev/dri`, then `vulkaninfo --text` and read
-the `VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties` heap sizes — no model, no load, no compute. The probe
-trap: `vulkaninfo --batch` is not a flag in Ubuntu 24.04's `vulkan-tools` — it prints the help
-page and exits 1, which reads like a driver failure. Every package involved has a candidate on
-the host's apt (`vulkan-tools` 1.4.341, `libvulkan-dev` 1.4.341, `glslang-dev`/`glslang-tools`
-16.2.0); the build stage runs on the digest-pinned Ubuntu 24.04 base, whose versions are older
-but present. Script: `/home/dank/spikes/npu-tts/vk_probe.sh` on Dankclaw.
-
-Constraints that do not relax for a co-tenant: `/dev/dri` passthrough needs the ComfyUI
-pattern (`AddDevice` + `GroupAdd=keep-groups` + the world-writable udev rule) because
-systemd user-unit spawns carry no supplementary groups; the 64 GiB swap at `/swap.img`
-exists to protect co-tenants, and paging a KV pool is worse than the OOM it prevents;
-`pp_dpm_fclk` reads `auto` (unheld), which only becomes a hazard if the NPU ever joins.
-
-## 6. Re-visit condition
-
-Retry the NPU when **a Linux loader claims the graph**: an `onnxruntime-genai-ryzenai`
-build whose RyzenAI adapter takes the NuTTS-Air Full-Fusion graph on `RyzenAI-npu5`, or that
-model appearing in a runtime's own supported catalog with a Linux runner. Then the
-prerequisites are already mapped and priced: the gated NeuCodec encoder for cloned voices,
-the `ref_text` transcripts, the 4096-token prompt budget, and 50 codes/s as the bar.

-# build-voice-pack.sh — turn a SOURCE recording plus a CROP OFFSET into a
-# deployable frank-tts voice pack: the reference WAV, the engine's own speaker
-# artifacts made from it, and manifest.json provenance.
-#
-# THE PACK. $PACKS_DIR/<voice>/ carries the three members the pack law in
-# scripts/frank-tts.env names:
-#
-#   reference.wav    the crop: 24 kHz mono PCM (pcm_s16le), 18-25 s of clean
-#                    single-speaker audio. This is what makes a voice NAME real
-#                    (dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py lists and resolves exactly
-#                    this file), so it is written LAST, once everything else in
-#                    the pack has been verified.
-#   reference.spk    the engine's x-vector: enc_dim 2048 f32 = 8,192 B.
-#   reference.rvq    the engine's RVQ code stream: 16 codebooks x 11 bits = 22 B
-#                    per 12.5 Hz frame = 22 * floor(samples / 1920).
-#   manifest.json    provenance: source path and sha256, crop start/end, sample
-#                    rate, duration, the tool + engine commit that made the
-#                    artifacts, and the voice name.
-#
-# Both artifacts come from the pinned engine build's speaker extractor — the
-# `qwen-codec` tool of qwentts.cpp at VOICE_PACK_ENGINE_COMMIT — run on the pack's
-# own WAV, and the extractor names them by swapping the input's extension, so
-# they land beside reference.wav with nothing to rename. Required, never a
-# replacement for the WAV: a voice another runtime cannot reuse is not saved.
-#
-# THE 10-SECOND GATE — THE REASON THIS SCRIPT EXISTS. Project-wide source-material
-# invariant: the first 10 s of any sample file used to generate voices is
-# forbidden material. An offset that starts inside that region is refused with a
-# nonzero exit BEFORE anything is created — no pack dir, no WAV, no artifact — and
-# the same gate is asserted a second time from the manifest that was just written
-# (plus the recorded sha256 against the source it claims). A pack carrying a
-# forbidden crop therefore cannot survive a build.
-#
-# THE ARTIFACT SIZES ARE CHECKED, NOT ASSUMED. They are a property of the codec
-# config inside the GGUF, so an engine bump that changes enc_dim or the codebook
-# count fails the build instead of shipping a pack the engine will reject at
-# synthesis time. Note the interaction with the WAV window: an 18.0 s crop is a
-# legal reference.wav but only 22 * 225 = 4,950 B of .rvq, under the recorded
-# 5,456 B floor, so the effective crop window is 19.84-25 s. That is a real
-# constraint and the builder says so up front rather than failing after a build;
-# serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Voice Packs.md covers what to do on an engine bump.
-#
-# WHERE IT RUNS: the host that holds the engine build (Dankclaw). The extractor is
-# a CPU ggml binary — no GPU, no container, no fleet endpoint, no network. ffmpeg
-# does the crop; every spawned process runs `nice -n 19` so a pack build never
-# competes with the text endpoints on that box.
-#
-# IT NEVER DELETES. An existing pack is refused unless --force, and --force moves
-# the whole old directory aside into $PACKS_DIR/.AGENTTRASH/<voice>-<UTC>/ rather
-# than overwriting or unlinking a single byte.
-#
-# Usage:
-#   scripts/build-voice-pack.sh [OPTIONS] VOICE PACKS_DIR
-#   scripts/build-voice-pack.sh [OPTIONS] --all PACKS_DIR
-#
-# Options (anything not given comes from scripts/voice-packs.env):
-#   --env FILE      tunables file (default scripts/voice-packs.env)
-#   --source FILE   source recording for this voice
-#   --offset SEC    crop start, in seconds into the source (must be >= 10)
-#   --duration SEC  crop length; reference.wav comes out this long
-#   --sha256 HEX    expected sha256 of the source file
-#   --tool PATH     the pinned speaker extractor (qwen-codec)
-#   --all           build every voice in VOICE_PACKS, skipping none
-#   --dry-run       everything except the extractor: validate, cut the crop,
-#                   probe it, print the plan and the manifest it would write
-#   --force         retire an existing pack to .AGENTTRASH/ and rebuild
-#   -h, --help      this text

-# the CURRENT native-v2 abliterated checkpoint from
-# Quat3rnion/halogen-qwen3.8-flash-next-v2-abliterated (the 2026-10-11
-# release: a complete HIP native-v2 conversion of orcarouter's pinned BF16
-# source, NOT the r1/r2 writer transplant this filename used to carry), and
-# assemble the companions the engine needs beside it — the REQUIRED n-gram
-# lookup table, the vision tower and the flat tokenizer. Public files, no
-# token; per the fleet secret law none would ever touch argv.
-#
-# The fetch law, same as every sibling script: curl -f (an access error must
-# not become a "successful" 153-byte artifact), exact byte count from the
-# script's manifest, LFS sha256 verification, --verify-only to re-check an
-# existing payload without downloading.
-#
-# 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
-# leaves the verdict to the boot ledger plus the behavior probes.

-# 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

-#
-# 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

+# staging dir whose config.json drops `quantization_config`: the descriptor

+# fallback), and no shipped plugin claims (qwen4exp, "fp8"); the shipped
+# qwen4exp plugin claims (qwen4exp, "") which is what recipe-built

+# SERVING FACTS (docs/GUIDE.md, docs/DOCKER.md, compose/flashnext.yaml):
+# - The HTTP listener binds AFTER the full load (main.cpp: engine.start()
+#   then engine.serve()) — during load the port refuses connections, so a
+#   bare curl /health gate is honest. /health == /ping: 200 JSON while
+#   serving, 503 only while stopping (core/server/admin.cpp:385).
+# - Reasoning: --reasoning-format defaults to auto, emitting thinking in
+#   `reasoning_content` (config.cpp). Tool calls: the qwen3.8 dialect, from
+#   the chat format. Both need no parser flags.
+# - Sampling: the OpenAI endpoint accepts temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p,
+#   typical_p, presence_penalty, frequency_penalty, repetition_penalty,
+#   repeat_last_n, chat_template_kwargs, reasoning_effort,
+#   enable_thinking, preserve_thinking (core/server/oai.cpp:194-205) —
+#   models.yml's extraBody set is fully inside it. Unknown params are
+#   refused (400), which is why nothing unverified rides the wire.
+# - MTP: the official checkpoint carries the mtp.* head (3,101 tensors,
+#   mtp_num_hidden_layers=1) and the plugin probes draft depth 3 — the
+#   publisher's throughput peak for this model. Stated explicitly with
+#   --num-speculative-tokens 3.
+# - The fused TP all-reduce is declared over max-num-seqs x

+# cache (2.69 GiB)`, `arena: lends 740 MiB while steps are <= 256 tokens`),

+# buys (card + live probe evidence): MTP spec decode (53-57 t/s greedy,
+# 3-10x serial), ~1,640 t/s prefill at 34k, ~72% fewer thinking tokens than
+# the censored 27B (905 mean), the ABLITERATED base (refusals should NOT
+# return), IMAGE INPUT (the v2 vision tower loads beside the checkpoint —
+# red-PNG probe verified on the card; the 27B engine ignored its encoder),

+#
+# SHAPE — the knobs that are NOT free, with the arithmetic:
+#   HALOGEN_CTX=262144 is the PER-SLOT window and the per-conversation hard
+#   ceiling — a prompt over it is a 400 naming the limit, never a silent
+#   truncation. RAISED from 200192 on 2026-10-07: the harness clamps
+#   max_tokens to contextWindow − est − 4096, its chars/4 est UNDER-counts
+#   the rendered prompt by ~3 % on code/agent traffic, and compaction only
+#   fires at 85 % — so with window == engine ceiling, every request over
+#   ~146k est (65-85 % of the window) was a guaranteed 400. Measured
+#   2026-10-07: est 152,938, server 157,388, request 43,158 vs room 42,804
+#   — over by 354, margin 4,096 < the 4,450 under-count.
+#   Harness contract (models.yml): contextWindow 217088, maxTokens 45056.
+#   Compaction fires at 85 % = 184,524 est ≈ 190k measured (Frank's 180k
+#   target). Worst-case request: prompt + budget <= 217088 − 4096 + 3 %
+#   est-error ≈ 219k <= 262144 — the 45k gap between harness window and
+#   engine ceiling absorbs the estimate error with ~7x margin (robust to a

+#
+# CLIENT CONTRACT deltas vs the 27B shape (harness side lives in
+# ~/.omp/agent/models.yml):
+#   * SERVER-SIDE SAMPLER EXISTS NOW: HALOGEN_TEMPERATURE/TOP_P/TOP_K set
+#     the card's thinking recipe (1.0 / 0.95 / 20) as engine defaults, so
+#     an absent temperature is no longer greedy. models.yml extraBody
+#     carries the same values — consistent, not load-bearing.
+#   * HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192 is only the DEFAULT for requests that omit
+#     max_tokens; the harness sends at most its maxTokens 45056. Requests
+#     over HALOGEN_MAX_TOKENS_CAP (65536) are a 400 naming the cap. Cap and
+#     queue timeout are COUPLED (FLAGS.md table): 65536 at ~10 t/s serial
+#     worst case needs > 6550 s; 7200 honors it. Do not move one alone.
+#   * max_tokens INCLUDES thinking; a reasoning reply over a small budget
+#     returns empty content with finish_reason "length".
+#   * Prompt cache is ON by default (PROMPT_CACHE=2): a follow-up turn at
+#     100k context re-prefills ~2 s instead of ~88 s cold. No pin needed —
+#     unlike the 27B engine, auto-sizing fits this box's ledger.
+#   * Thinking lands in reasoning_content (same as the 27B engine); the
+#     v2 chat template rejects reasoning_effort outside xhigh|medium|low,
+#     so the models.yml fold (high->xhigh) still applies.
+#   * Vision: OpenAI image_url content parts only (the fleet's standard
+#     contract). >=256 px probe images or the model answers "video".
+#   * response_format json_object/json_schema unsupported in this line
+#     (no constrained decoding) — unchanged from the 27B engine.
+#   * The engine's token protocol has no auth and binds loopback INSIDE

-# frank-tts-engine.env — tunables for **frank-tts-engine**, the arm A TTS
-# engine on Dankclaw (qwentts.cpp `tts-server`, container port **8880**, never a
-# fleet endpoint). Read by the Quadlet unit
-# (dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container) as its only
-# EnvironmentFile=, which is why every path below is the value the CONTAINER
-# sees. The host directories those mounts come from are named in
-# dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container and
-# scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh.
-#
-# WHAT SITS HERE AND WHAT DOES NOT. `tts-server` reads its configuration from
-# command-line flags only — it looks at no environment variable — so this file
-# is consumed by the image's entrypoint
-# (dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-start.sh), which turns each key below into
-# the matching flag. Every value has a default baked into that script, and the
-# default equals the value below: this file exists so the decided shape is
-# written down in the repo and one line can be changed without a rebuild, not
-# because the engine would otherwise fail to boot.
-#
-# THE THREAD LAW (read this before reaching for CPUQuota=, CPUAffinity=,
-# taskset or a systemd slice). There is **no `-t`/`--threads` flag** in this
-# build: src/backend.h computes the CPU thread count as
-# `std::thread::hardware_concurrency() / 2` (its own comment: GEMM shares SIMD
-# units across hyperthreads). The engine therefore sizes its pools from what the
-# kernel *reports*, not from what it is allowed to use. Pin the container to a
-# cpuset and the thread count silently changes with it — different GEMM
-# tiling, different timings, no log line saying so, and the measured numbers
-# below stop describing the process you are running. Nothing in this fleet
-# pins this container; that is a decision, not an oversight.
-#
-# THE DEVICE LAW (since the 2026-10-19 Vulkan cutover). Synthesis computes on
-# the gfx1151 iGPU — the SAME card frank-dragoon serves. It is a shared device,
-# never a dedicated one, so two numbers matter and neither is what `rocm-smi`
-# prints first: the memory the container may use is the RADV heap inside the
-# GTT-backed aperture (the ~2 GiB DRM carve-out is not the working set), and the
-# timing that matters is dragoon's, measured WITH a synthesis in flight. The
-# rollback is one line: set QWENTTS_DEVICE empty, and the entrypoint passes no
-# --device at all — the pre-iGPU CPU shape, no rebuild, no restart of anything
-# else on the box.
-#
-# THE REGISTRY LAW (why the unit has an ExecStartPost at all). Registrations live
-# in memory only, so a restart loses them, and re-registration alone does NOT warm
-# a voice — the warm pass has to synthesize something. Without it the façade
-# answers 400 for every name until somebody asks for audio. So
-# dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh (in the image at /app/warm-voices.sh)
-# runs on every start and speaks a short sentence twice per voice. The penalty it
-# removes is about 0.6 s, NOT the trial's 6.2-8.0 s: measured on the built
-# container 2026-10-18 against an empty registry, the first synthesis cost
-# 1,883 ms and the requests after it 1,226-1,283 ms. The hook runs INSIDE this
-# container — `podman exec`, from the unit's ExecStartPost — so it reads /voices
-# here and the keys at the bottom of this file are its knobs too.
-#
-# STREAMING IS NOT BUFFERED. The same seed gives audio that differs in 92.2 %
-# of samples (-41.6 dB RMS) between `response_format=pcm` (the streaming path,
-# codec chunks pushed as they decode) and `response_format=wav` (the buffered
-# path). Nothing in this stack may compare the two, cache one against the
-# other, or assume a seed pins output across `response_format`. frank-tts always
-# asks for `wav` and re-encodes to mp3 itself; the warmer below also asks for
-# `wav`, for that reason and because the streamed path would need a reader.
-#
-# THE ROUTE LIST, verbatim from tts-server at the pinned commit, so nobody
-# debugs against a route that does not exist: GET /health, GET /v1/models,
-# GET|POST /v1/audio/voices, DELETE /v1/audio/voices/{name},
-# POST /v1/audio/speech (response_format wav or pcm). Everything else is a bare
-# 404. Note two traps in that surface: `GET /v1/audio/voices` returns an empty
-# JSON object rather than the voice list at this commit (the handler builds the
-# array and never attaches it to the document), and a `POST /v1/audio/voices`
-# carrying `spk_b64` without `rvq_b64` is rejected outright — it is `wav_b64` or
-# BOTH of the pair.

-#     hook's JSON body that is `""Warm up…""`, the engine's parser rejects it,

-# 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, 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. The
-#                  shipped engine (frank-tts-engine) speaks a voice it has
-#                  REGISTERED on itself, from the same /home/dank/voices packs,
-#                  and warms them at boot — see [[Frank TTS Engine]] for what that
-#                  boot warm is for (a memory-only registry: without it every name
-#                  is a 400) and what it saves (~0.6 s).
-#   llama-tts-cli  run LLAMA_TTS_BIN once per request with
-#                  --tts-speaker-file <reference.wav>, nice 19 so a narration
-#                  never starves the text endpoints on this box. Needs
-#                  LLAMA_TTS_BIN + LLAMA_TTS_MODEL filled in; LLAMA_TTS_MMPROJ
-#                  only if that binary takes a projector.

-# THE UPSTREAM ADDRESS. The engine is a container on the private bridge this
-# unit also joins (dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network), so
-# this is its container DNS name. It used to read
-# `http://host.containers.internal:8880`, which is a shape that cannot work: a

-# ports only, and an engine on the host's loopback is published to nobody

+# custom-quant lock-in like the ROCmFPX era). NO nextn/mtp tensors exist, so
+# in-file MTP is impossible here; SPEC_TYPE=none is forced by the payload.
+#
+# The KV rate follows from the architecture: 8 full layers × 4 KV heads ×
+# 256 dim = 8,192 elements per token per cache. f16 K + f16 V = 32,768
+# B/token = 32 KiB/token, so the 401,408-token pool is 12.25 GiB. The 24
+# DeltaNet layers cost a fixed recurrent state per SLOT (not per token) —
+# that is why two 200k slots fit where the 26B MoE fit only one.
+#
+# Feasibility comes from the predecessor's MEASURED boots, not a formula:
+# MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B (identical qwen35 geometry, 7,793,710,624 B) at
+# 2×200,704 f16 K + f16 V measured 21,276 used / 2,849 free at ubatch 1024

+# its BF16 mmproj is 3 MiB heavier ⇒ projected ~21,430 used / ~2,700 free.
+# The verbosity-4 boot ledger is the referee.

+# Ubatch 2048 is the measured CUDA optimum (measured on the MiMo predecessor

+# 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

+# 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

-# BOTH Quadlet units (dankclaw/open-notebook/quadlet/) as the FIRST
-# EnvironmentFile= line, which is why every path and host name below is the
-# value the CONTAINER must see.
-#
-# TWO FILES, ONE ORDER. This file is tracked; it holds knobs, not credentials.
-# The three secret keys below are declared EMPTY on purpose — the `scripts/*.env`
-# gitignore exception exists for "paths and numbers, never credentials" — and the
-# real values live in the host file the deployer seeds at
-# /home/dank/Containers/open-notebook/env (mode 600, seeded from dankclaw/.env,
-# the same convention grafana/marreta/pihole follow). Both files are handed to
-# podman in EnvironmentFile= order and the LAST one wins (verified against the
-# generated run line), so the host file overrides these blanks. Do not reorder
-# the two lines.
-#
-# WHY THE DEPLOYER REFUSES TO START THESE UNITS WITHOUT THE SECRET FILE. An empty
-# OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD is not "unconfigured", it is **authentication off**, and
-# the episode-audio download is one of the routes the API serves without a
-# session; an empty SURREAL_PASS lets the database come up with different root
-# 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 the endpoint
-# provisioned today answers them well inside 180. The provider itself is chosen
-# in the database, not here — [[Open Notebook]] owns that provisioning and the
-# address census behind it. Short version: frank-zealot was the plan (script
-# writing asks for a JSON-schema response, which llama.cpp serves and halogen's
-# behaviour on frank-dragoon is UNVERIFIED), but no Dankclaw LLM is dialable from
-# this container's netns, and the single address that reaches one —
-# `host.containers.internal`, 169.254.1.2 — the app refuses to store at all,
-# because link-local is a blocked address class. The writer is therefore
-# frank-archon (`http://192.168.0.235:7770/v1`), the only fleet LLM that both
-# answers from inside this netns and passes that check.
-#
-# 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.

-# NAME (the 2026-10-01 law: the serve gate and the deployer gate must agree):
-#   1. the staged model files under $FRANK_DRAGOON_NPU_DIR — a path that MUST
-#      live INSIDE $FRANK_DRAGOON_MODEL_DIR, because the container's only
-#      handle on them is the read-only /models mount. A nested bind at
-#      /models/npu cannot work: runc has to mkdir its mountpoint and the parent
-#      bind is ro (`mkdirat .../merged/models/npu: read-only file system`,
-#      measured 2026-10-19), and the image ships no /models at all for it to
-#      land on. `$MODEL_DIR/npu/<id>` is visible at /models/npu/<id> through
-#      the existing mount, which is also where the vendor's catalog expects it.
-#      The engine re-checks size+sha256 against that catalog at boot; it cannot
-#      fetch anything here because /models is read-only and HALOGEN_DOWNLOAD
-#      stays unset — no outbound connection at boot),
-#   2. the distro XRT's three libraries, each mounted twice (where the image
-#      looks for XRT, and at its own path — the libraries find each other there;
-#      an /opt/xilinx/xrt of symlinks into the system dir dangles inside the
-#      container, which the vendor calls out explicitly),
-#   3. the GPU fabric clock HELD: on Strix Halo the iGPU and the NPU co-running
-#      hang the machine while FCLK changes speed, and the engine refuses to
-#      start when it moves — it cannot read host sysfs from inside the

-# 2026-10-19 (Frank): THREE 200,704-token conversations over a 602,112 pool
-# (--ctx-size 602112 --parallel 3), K left at the engine's own default (f16),
-# V dropped to q8_0, batch 1024×6 / ubatch 1024, and the MTP drafter ARMED
-# (--spec-type draft-mtp). The 9B bills 8,192 elements per token per cache (8
-# full-attention layers instead of the 27B's 16), so f16 K is 16,384 B/token and
-# q8_0 V is 8,704: 25,088 B/token = 14,406.00 MiB at the 602,112 pool. That
-# 7,680 B/token against exact V is exactly what funds the third conversation
-# AND a draft context that bills f16 KV over the whole pool. Verbosity 4 ships
-# so the VRAM-fit forensics (KV layout, buffer sizes, graph capture) land in
-# the journal.
+# Architecture: qwen35 — dense 9B, 32 layers with full_attention_interval 4
+# (8 full-attention layers at 3,7,...,31 + 24 Gated DeltaNet linear layers),
+# 16 heads / 4 KV heads × 256 dim, native 262,144, vocab 248,320. The KV pool
+# scales with the 8 full layers: 32 KiB/token at f16 K + f16 V (12.25 GiB at
+# the 401,408 pool); the DeltaNet layers cost a fixed recurrent state per
+# slot. Feasibility is priced from the MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B boots (same
+# geometry, same card, same shape): 21,276/2,849 at ubatch 1024, 21,846/2,279
+# at ubatch 2048 — the boot ledger, not arithmetic, is the referee.

 #
-# Architecture (engine ledger, not the marketing page): qwen35 hybrid, 32
-# layers with qwen35.full_attention_interval = 4 ⇒ 8 full-attention + 24 Gated
-# DeltaNet, 4 KV heads × 256 dim, native 262,144. The KV pool scales with the 8
-# full layers (14,406.00 MiB of f16 K + q8_0 V at the 602,112 pool); the
-# DeltaNet layers cost a fixed recurrent state per SLOT — ~50.25 MiB a cell, so
-# 150.75 MiB for three, and an armed depth-2 drafter triples that again. The
-# runtime is a hard lock, not a preference: custom GGML type 142 plus
-# prism.hadamard.* metadata, which only the vendor build registers — and the
-# b10776 gate that moved the prebuilt 10754 → 10777 (MTP beside a quantized V)
-# is LOAD-BEARING again on this shape, not moot as it was under exact KV.
-# Vision comes from the publisher's Q8_0 projector (the BF16 one can crash the
-# server on concurrent images, and this endpoint runs three slots), so --mmproj is
-# what gives this endpoint eyes; MMPROJ_FILE="" is the documented text-only
-# opt-out.
-#
-# A refusal-direction adapter rides on top of the pack (Frank, 2026-10-19):
-# AtomicChat's rank-1 LoRA, applied at load by --lora-scaled. It is an edit
-# inside the compute graph, not a second model — B = -r (the refusal direction),
-# A built from the base pack's folded input basis, every transformer layer, the
-# embedding deliberately untouched because an embedding LoRA crashes this fork's
-# graph. The card verified it on prism-b10777-e3de715 — the build pinned here —
-# and says older forks refuse the pack outright (`unsupported
-# prism.hadamard.version: 2`), which makes the runtime lock doubly load-bearing.
-# Its own metadata names the PTQ1_0 packing as the pack the direction was fitted
-# against, so what proves the effect is a refusal probe against the live
-# endpoint, not the metadata and not the card's table. LORA_FILE="" drops the
-# flag and the endpoint is the plain pack again.
-#
-# Speculative decoding ships ON (Frank, 2026-10-19). The head is IN the file and
-# accepts well (0.798/0.617 per position, mean length 2.41, measured 2026-10-18);
-# what made it lose that evening was the bill, not the drafts — the draft context
-# is built against the target's WHOLE pool, so blk.32 adds 4,096 B/position
-# (2,352.00 MiB at 602,112) plus 480.97 MiB of its own compute buffers on the
-# card, and it triples the recurrent state per slot (452.25 MiB for three cells
-# against 50.25 a cell with the drafter off). CACHE_TYPE_V=q8_0 is what pays
-# that: 7,680 B/token cheaper than exact V, 4,410 MiB at this pool. The ubatch
-# drop to 1024 contributes ~406 MiB here, NOT the ~1,306 the 786,432-pool census
-# showed — that figure does not transfer between shapes. SPEC_TYPE=none is

+# Host metrics source for Prometheus. Replaces the compose service of the same
+# name (the "Observability" block): Dankclaw moved to this quadlet on
+# 2026-09-11, Dankserver on 2026-09-16 — its compose-only copy died at a reboot
+# and stayed dead (rootless Podman does not restart bare containers after the
+# explicit stop shutdown performs), dead for a day and a half before anyone
+# noticed. One owner per container name; no compose file remains anywhere.
+#
+# HOST NAMESPACE. It must run in the host network namespace to report the
+# host's own interfaces/connections, and --pid=host for the processes and
+# cgroups collectors. "localhost" inside the container is therefore the host's
+# loopback, which is what the homepage status timer probes.
+#
+# LISTEN ADDRESSES. Exactly two: loopback for the homepage status probe, and
+# the LAN address, because Prometheus — which runs in a container on
+# dankclaw_default — scrapes http://{lan}:{port}/metrics
+# (shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml, job "node-{host}"). node_exporter has no
+# authentication, so the wildcard bind stays off the table; this is the
+# pairing that removes the unauthenticated observability surface on every
+# host, and both consumers are accounted for.
+#
+# MOUNTS. The container reads the host's /proc, /sys and / as /host/*
+# read-only and is pointed at them with --path.*; it writes nothing anywhere.

-# 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)

-# `scripts/build-voice-pack.sh`, which is the only thing that consumes this
-# file — the running service reads none of it, because the packs themselves are
-# the interface (see scripts/frank-tts.env for what the shim resolves).
-#
-# WHAT IS TRACKED HERE AND WHAT IS NOT. Paths and numbers, never credentials,
-# which is the same rule the other `scripts/*.env` files follow. The pack
-# DIRECTORIES are host state under $VOICE_PACK_DIR and stay out of the repo; the
-# crops that produce them are exactly the kind of decision worth a diff, so the
-# offsets live here. If a crop changes, change it here and rebuild with
-# --force — the manifest inside the pack records what was actually cut.
-#
-# THE OFFSETS ARE NOT ARBITRARY. Two rules pick them:
-#   1. The source-material invariant: seconds 0-10 of any sample file are
-#      forbidden voice material. The builder refuses a crop that starts inside
-#      that region and asserts the same thing again from the manifest it just
-#      wrote, so the values below are checked, not trusted.
-#   2. Speech density: the trial cut these from a silencedetect scan of the
-#      source (noise -35 dB, 0.6 s) and took the longest run of continuous
-#      speech at or past the scan window — a reference that starts mid-word or
-#      contains a page-turn of silence clones the artefacts, not the voice.
-#      serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Voice Packs.md carries the recipe.
-#
-# WHY THE SHA256 LINES EXIST. A crop offset is a statement about one exact
-# file: 98.739 s into a re-encode of the same audiobook is a different sentence
-# and therefore a different voice. The builder hashes the source, compares it
-# with the pinned digest when one is set, and writes the digest into the pack's
-# manifest — so a pack can always be traced back to the bytes it was cut from.
-# The three values below are the trial's digests (2026-10-18), verified against
-# the files on disk.
-#
-# THE ENGINE BLOCK IS A PIN, NOT A DEFAULT. The speaker artifacts come from
-# `qwen-codec` in the qwentts.cpp tree at $VOICE_PACK_ENGINE_COMMIT: it takes a
-# 24 kHz WAV, writes the RVQ code stream next to it with the extension swapped,
-# and with --talker also runs that talker's speaker encoder to write the
-# x-vector .spk. The talker has to be a **Base** build — the customvoice and
-# voicedesign GGUFs carry no speaker encoder and the extractor says so. The
-# sizes the builder then verifies (8,192 B of .spk, 5,456-6,864 B of .rvq) are
-# derived from the codec config in the GGUF, so an engine bump that changes them
-# fails the build on purpose; see [[Voice Packs]] for the bump procedure.
-#
-# HOST PATHS, NOT CONTAINER PATHS. This runs on the host that holds the engine
-# build (Dankclaw), outside any container, with no GPU and no fleet endpoint.
-# The model paths below are where scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh
-# puts the GGUFs; until that fetch has run, the same two files sit in the trial
-# tree at /home/dank/voice-audition/qwentts/models/ and the tool is only in its

-| `192.168.0.143:7770` (`frank-dragoon`) | refused | the container is **rootless on podman's default `pasta` netns** (the root unit's `User=dank` runs `podman run`, so it lands in dank's storage). Pasta forwards the published port in the host netns — the host and the LAN both answer 200 — but installs no netavark DNAT for traffic arriving from a rootless bridge, so the same address is refused from a container. This is NOT a root/rootless rule-set split: `podman ps` as `dank` lists it |
-| `host.containers.internal:7770` (`169.254.1.2`) | **200** | the pasta forwarder is bound `0.0.0.0` on the host, so the gateway alias reaches it — and the alias is link-local, which is the dead end below |

-| `10.89.1.1:7771` | refused | the bridge gateway address belongs to the rootlesskit netns, not to the host |
-| `host.containers.internal:7771` (`169.254.1.2`) | **200** | the gateway alias is the one address that carries a rootless container to a host-netns listener. Why `hermes-dashboard` timed out on this alias in 2026-09-02 while `open-notebook` answers today is **not established**; the difference to check first is the second network and where the default route lands |
-| `192.168.0.235:7770` (`frank-archon`) | **200** | a different machine: plain routing, no DNAT in the path |

-The consequence that changes designs: **a rootless container's menu of local model
-endpoints is `frank-tts` (container DNS, same network) and `frank-archon` (LAN
-address on another host).** A `pasta` endpoint has no address an app container can
-use: the LAN address is refused, and the one alias that answers is link-local,
-which some applications refuse to store at all ([[Open Notebook]] meets exactly
-that refusal). Pasta cannot be *added to* either —

+
+# 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.

 ## Why the GPU works here

-Dankclaw is an AMD Strix Halo APU (gfx1151). Standard PyTorch ROCm wheels do not ship gfx1151 kernels. So `torch.cuda.is_available()` returns `False` and ComfyUI falls back to CPU. AMD publishes a gfx1151-tagged build, and the image above is based on it. On this APU it reports `torch.cuda.is_available() = True`, device `Radeon 8060S Graphics` (`GET http://127.0.0.1:8188/system_stats` 2026-10-18: one device, `cuda:0 Radeon 8060S Graphics : native`, type `cuda`), capability `(11, 5)` (`dankclaw/Containerfile.comfyui:4-5`).

-# Frank TTS Engine
-
-`frank-tts-engine` is the **arm A text-to-speech engine** on Dankclaw: [qwentts.cpp](https://github.com/ServeurpersoCom/qwentts.cpp)'s resident `tts-server` HTTP process, holding the Qwen3-TTS **1.7 B base talker (Q4_K_M)** and the **12 Hz tokenizer (Q8_0)** loaded once and synthesizing from there — **on the gfx1151 iGPU** (ggml's Vulkan backend, `--device Vulkan0`) since 2026-10-19, and in host RAM before that. It listens on container port **8880** and is **deliberately not a fleet endpoint** — the endpoint consumers address is `frank-tts` on **7772**, which resolves voice names, re-encodes to mp3 when asked, and owns the timeout budget. This page is the engine runbook; the endpoint's contract lives with its own page.
-
-**Deployed 2026-10-18, cut over to the iGPU on 2026-10-19.** The first chain ran in the order at the bottom of this page — fetch (1.4 GiB, byte + LFS oid verified), image build against the pinned commit, unit + network install, container-health gate, warm pass — and the live state still reads the way this page describes it: unit `active` with no drop-ins, container healthy shortly after the build, `3 voice(s) registered and warm` in the journal, and no published port anywhere. Two things the first real boot taught: the warm hook's registration body must reach curl through a **file**, not an argument (Troubleshooting), and `STEP 3/13 RUN useradd` is the first honest proof of the image's non-root user.

-## Facts (verified 2026-10-18 against the pinned upstream commit, the Hub and the CPU trial; the device rows re-verified on the live iGPU shape 2026-10-19)
-
-| Item | Value |
-|------|-------|
-| Engine | `tts-server` from qwentts.cpp, pinned at commit `5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4` (`dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine`). The source is **not vendored**: the image clones that commit and its recorded `ggml` submodule, so the build needs outbound HTTPS and the `cfhash` label is what keeps an unchanged re-deploy offline |
-| Build line | `cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_CCACHE=OFF -DGGML_BACKEND_DL=OFF -DGGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=OFF -DGGML_OPENMP=ON -DGGML_BLAS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=OFF -DGGML_HIP=OFF -DGGML_VULKAN=ON -DGGML_METAL=OFF -DGGML_SYCL=OFF -DGGML_RPC=OFF && cmake --build build -j 8`. **`GGML_VULKAN=ON` since 2026-10-19**, and that door needs three packages in the build stage: `libvulkan-dev`, `spirv-headers`, and **`glslc`** — which Ubuntu's `glslang-tools` does NOT ship (it ships `glslangValidator`, and `find_package(Vulkan COMPONENTS glslc REQUIRED)` fails without the package). The archive's `glslc` is 2023.8: `GL_KHR_cooperative_matrix` compiles, the coopmat2 / integer-dot / bf16 / micro-float shader families do not. `GGML_BLAS=OFF` is **forced**: Dankclaw has `libopenblas.so.0` and no BLAS dev headers, so upstream's own `Dockerfile` and `buildcpu.sh` (both pass BLAS on) cannot be copied. No `-DGGML_NATIVE` is passed, and ggml defaults it on, so the binary is `-march=native` for the machine that built it: **build this image on the host that runs it** |
-| Image | built locally as `franksdank/frank-tts-engine:latest`, two stages from one digest-pinned base `docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04@sha256:68ee22004a9109b44973313b02ff7b1de250f1de0f5ecb628d73f579aaff33ac` (index digest resolved 2026-10-18). Runtime stage: `libgomp1` (OpenMP is on), `curl` (the unit's `HealthCmd` runs as `/bin/sh -c`, and the warmer speaks HTTP), `libvulkan1` + `mesa-vulkan-drivers` (the loader and the RADV ICD — a loader with no ICD enumerates ZERO devices, and the server then dies in device lookup after both GGUFs have been read), uid **10000**, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app` because ggml builds shared by default and the link-time RPATH names the build tree. **No NVIDIA ICD on purpose**: exactly one Vulkan device in the enumeration is what makes the name `Vulkan0` safe to write down |
-| Talker | `qwen-talker-1.7b-base-Q4_K_M.gguf`, **1 219 245 248 B**, sha256 `ea393ebaf2167ea23ce9fc18b093822851358a950d7075cd47ab4f6ce23e887d` (the Hub's LFS pointer oid) |
-| Tokenizer | `qwen-tokenizer-12hz-Q8_0.gguf`, **291 150 624 B**, sha256 `1883beeed99348fc35e23dd225e9082f93f6f8c109330a33d935baa8acdbfd94` |
-| Source of both | `https://huggingface.co/Serveurperso/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF`, fetched by `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` into `/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF`, mounted read-only at `/models`. It has to be the **base** variant: the engine refuses every voice registration unless the model reports type `base`, so on `customvoice`/`voicedesign` the cloned-voice product does not exist. A 0.6 B talker (628 905 056 B) exists and is **not** the decided artifact |
-| Device | `--device Vulkan0`: the gfx1151 iGPU, **shared with [[frank-dragoon]] as a co-tenant, never a handover**. Proven on the live pair, not inferred: `fuser -v /dev/dri/renderD129` lists `tts-server` beside `flash_serve`. Both gates (the RADV heap and dragoon's contention) are §5 of `report/tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md`, which also carries the change surface. **Rollback: `QWENTTS_DEVICE=` (empty) in `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env`, redeploy this one service** — the entrypoint then passes no `--device` at all, which is the CPU shape, no rebuild, nothing else restarts |
-| Memory | **1.7 GiB host RSS** since the iGPU cutover — the weights ride the device. No `LimitMEMORY`/`MemoryMax`: a limit would turn a busy moment into an OOM kill in the middle of an utterance |
-| Concurrency | `--max-batch 1`: a serialised FIFO. Warm RTF on the iGPU measures **0.20** (11.04 s of audio in 2.23 s) with `frank-dragoon` live on the same card, so a live stream has room to spare; a second concurrent synthesis would share the device with the first and make the caller behind it wait out the whole first utterance, so the FIFO stays a decision, not an accident |
-| Network | `systemd-frank-tts-engine` (10.89.5.0/24, `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network`) and **nothing else**, with **no `PublishPort` at all**. `frank-tts` joins the same bridge and dials `http://frank-tts-engine:8880` |
-| Voices | `/home/dank/voices` mounted read-only at `/voices`, and it is the **warmer** that reads it, not the server: `tts-server` receives reference audio as base64 in a registration body and keeps its registry in memory only |
-| Health | `GET /health` → `{"status":"ok"}`, served by the HTTP thread rather than the synthesis queue, so a busy engine still reads healthy. Probed by the unit (`HealthCmd`, 30 s interval, 120 s start period) **inside the container's namespace**, because there is no published port to probe from outside |
-| Routes | `GET /health`, `GET /v1/models`, `GET|POST /v1/audio/voices`, `DELETE /v1/audio/voices/{name}`, `POST /v1/audio/speech` (`response_format` = `wav` or `pcm`; **default `pcm`**). Everything else is a bare 404. `POST /v1/audio/speech` requires `input`; unknown `voice`, missing `input` and a bad `speed` are 400s, an empty generation is a 502 |
-
-## Why this engine, and not the alternatives
-
-The criterion Frank set on 2026-10-18 was **"whatever is better for live output"**, and live output is decided by time-to-first-audio and by whether the stream stays ahead of real time — not by benchmark throughput. On that criterion the resident `tts-server` (arm A) beat the mainline per-request CLI path (arm B) on this box the same day, and the deciding property was **spread**: the resident server repeats the same first-audio latency every run, while the CLI path varies enough that some runs fall behind real time and a live listener hears the stream stall mid-sentence. That A/B was a CPU measurement and the endpoint has since moved to the iGPU, so the shape of the argument is what is kept here; no page carries its numbers any more, and they are not worth re-deriving.
-
-The rollback to the other backend stays in the repo untouched — `TTS_BACKEND=llama-tts-cli` in `scripts/frank-tts.env` still selects the per-request CLI engine, and that file's header documents what it costs.
-
-## Four laws this service lives under
-
-**1. The registry law → the unit warms at boot.** The voice registry is **memory only**: a restart forgets every voice, and re-registering one does **not** warm it — only synthesizing does. A boot that registers nothing leaves the façade answering 400 for every name, which is why `frank-tts-engine.container` carries
-
-```
-ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh
-TimeoutStartSec=900
-```
-
-and the warm pass runs on every start including boot. What it buys is registration (mandatory) plus a measurably smaller first request — and the size of that saving is **not** the number the trial published. **Re-measured on the deployed build, 2026-10-18,** against an empty registry (register, then time the synthesis): the first request for `narrator1` cost **1 883 ms**, the second **1 283 ms**, the third **1 226 ms** — about **0.6 s** of saved silence. A ~110-word request cost **9.4 s** and then **9.8 s**, so request time tracks the audio generated, not snapshot state. The trial's **6.2–8.0 s / first audio byte 5 530 ms / later requests 0.5 ms** ladder does **not** reproduce here; the 0.5 ms figure is an internal state-restore cost that was never an end-to-end request time, and the honest claim is the ~0.6 s above. The `-` prefix is load-bearing: with `Restart=always`, a warmer that exits non-zero would restart the container and crash-loop the endpoint forever. The hook is `podman exec` rather than a host script **because this container publishes nothing** — there is no address the host could dial — and a consequence worth knowing: an exec inherits the unit's `EnvironmentFile`, so the warmer's knobs (`VOICES_DIR`, `HEALTH_WAIT`, `WARM_TEXT`, `REQUEST_TIMEOUT`) live in `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env` beside the engine's own. The deployer runs the same hook a second time so a failed warm becomes a deploy result rather than only a journal line, and so the per-voice numbers land on the console:
-
-```
-frank-tts-engine-warm: voice narrator1 cold=1402ms warm=1812ms
-frank-tts-engine-warm: 3 voice(s) registered and warm
-```
-
-**2. The thread law → nothing is ever pinned.** `tts-server` in this build has **no `-t`/`--threads` flag**: `src/backend.h` computes the CPU thread count as `std::thread::hardware_concurrency() / 2` (its comment: GEMM shares SIMD units across hyperthreads). Thread count therefore follows what the kernel *reports*, not what a cgroup *allows* — so `CPUQuota=`, `CPUAffinity=`, `taskset` or a slice silently changes the engine's pool sizes and its timings, with no log line. The rule did not retire with the iGPU cutover: the binary still sizes those pools from what the kernel says, whatever the device ends up doing with the matmuls. Nothing in this fleet pins this container. If a neighbour starves it, fix the neighbour.
-
-**3. Streaming is not buffered.** At the same seed, `response_format=pcm` (chunked, codec chunks pushed as they decode) and `response_format=wav` (buffered) differ in **92.2 % of samples**, −41.6 dB RMS. Nothing may compare the two paths, cache one against the other, or assume a seed pins output across `response_format`. `frank-tts` always asks for `wav`; the warmer asks for `wav`; the test seam is forbidden from pinning either.
-
-**4. The device law → the card is shared, and the rollback is one line.** Synthesis computes on the gfx1151 **beside** [[frank-dragoon]], so a change to either tenant is a change to both. Two gates decide that pair, and both passed on 2026-10-19 with the other tenant live: the RADV heap a rootless container tenant is actually handed (not the ~2 GiB DRM carve-out), and dragoon's own first-token and decode rates with a synthesis in flight — unchanged. Their numbers, the recipe that measures them, and the full change surface are §5 of `report/tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md`; do not re-derive them here. What belongs on this page is the move: `QWENTTS_DEVICE=` (empty) in `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env`, re-deploy this one service, and synthesis is back on CPU — no rebuild, and dragoon never restarts.
-
-## The voice registry contract
-
-A voice becomes known to the engine through `POST /v1/audio/voices`, and only these shapes are accepted:
-
- `{"name": …, "wav_b64": …}` — the reference clip travels as base64 WAV (the engine resamples to 24 kHz internally). **This is what the boot warmer sends.**
- `{"name": …, "spk_b64": …, "rvq_b64": …}` — the extracted embedding plus the reference codec codes. **`spk_b64` alone is rejected** (`src/tts-server.h:480`): it is `wav_b64` or *both* of the pair.
-
-Whether a registered voice is *embedding-only* or *in-context-learning* is then decided by `ref_text`: `tools/tts-server.cpp:258` selects ICL only when **both** `ref_text` and the reference codes are present. Registering `{name, wav_b64}` with no `ref_text` therefore yields the **x-vector voice** — the shipped default (0.57–0.63 warm RTF against ICL's 0.67) and the only one this fleet can produce honestly, because the audition crops have no trustworthy transcript to put in `ref_text`. The ICL door stays open for batch work like the podcast render: a pack that wants it needs its text in the pack plus one key in the payload built by `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh`.
-
-The packs themselves are host state at `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav` (24 kHz mono PCM), alongside the `reference.spk` / `reference.rvq` extraction and a manifest. Both halves of the voice stack read that directory — `frank-tts` for its name list, the warmer for its registrations — and `tts-server` never opens it. Two naming facts, both from the source: pack names must be **lowercase**, because `tts_voice_name` lowercases every name engine-side while the façade matches the directory name exactly (the warmer refuses anything outside `[a-z0-9._-]`); and `GET /v1/audio/voices` at this commit returns an empty JSON object rather than the voice list (the handler builds the array and never attaches it to the document), so **use the façade's `/v1/voices` for "which voices exist"** and treat the engine's listing route as broken, not empty.
-
-## Status visibility
-
-The engine is scraped by **nothing in Prometheus** and has **no homepage card**, and both are shape decisions rather than gaps. It exposes no metrics endpoint; and since it publishes no port, there is no address the host's status checker (`scripts/homepage-status.py`, which dials `host:port`) or the `dankclaw_default` Prometheus container could reach. That absence is the point of the network shape, not a cost of it (see [[Container Network Namespaces]] for the netavark rule that makes a host-loopback publish useless to a peer container anyway). The pair's public signal is the endpoint in front of it: [[Frank TTS]] carries the card and is what a consumer can dial. Its up-state is visible in four places, and the runbook uses all of them:
-
- `systemctl --user status frank-tts-engine` — the unit, including whatever the warm hook logged on the way to `active`.
- `podman healthcheck run frank-tts-engine` — runs the unit's own `HealthCmd` against `/health` on demand and exits non-zero when the engine does not answer. This is also what `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` gates the deploy on (`wait_container_healthy`), precisely because there is no URL to gate on.
- `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8880/health` — loopback is valid **inside** the container's namespace, which is where the address lives.
- The journal of the warm pass: `journalctl --user -u frank-tts-engine`, whose per-voice `cold=` / `warm=` lines are the only signal that voices are actually registered — a live HTTP listener with an empty registry still looks healthy.
-
-The **façade** on 7772 is the pair's public surface and carries the probe. Note the honest limit there: a façade that answers `/health` does **not** prove the engine behind it is alive — it reports its backend and its voice list, not an upstream ping. That is exactly why the warm pass is part of the deploy and not only of the boot.

-## Files this service owns
-
-| Path | Role |
-|---|---|
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine` | two-stage build of the pinned commit, proven cmake line, digest-pinned base, ships both scripts |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-start.sh` | image entrypoint (`/app/start.sh`): env → flags, refuses to boot without weights |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh` | boot warmer (`/app/warm-voices.sh`): register from `reference.wav` (body via a temp file), speak a fixed sentence twice, report cold/warm |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container` | the unit: bridge only, no publish, env file, two read-only mounts, render access (`AddDevice=/dev/dri` + `GroupAdd=keep-groups`), health probe, warm hook, `Restart=always` |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network` | the private 10.89.5.0/24 bridge, with the subnet registry |
-| `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env` | paths and numbers only, with the thread law, the registry law and the device law in its header |
-| `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` | weight fetcher: no resume, byte count + LFS oid check, `--verify-only` |
-| `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` → `deploy_frank_tts_engine` | weights gate → build → quadlet → restart → container health → warm |
-| `tests/frank_tts_engine.bats` | the seam: generator output, entrypoint argv, warmer against a stub engine, planner and routing maps |
-
-## Deploy record (host steps, in the order they ran)
-
-Run 2026-10-18 as `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine`, then
-`--service frank-tts`. Steps 1–6 are this service and the façade; only step 7 is
-still open.
-
-1. **Fetch the weights** — `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` (1.4 GiB, byte + sha256 verified, idempotent; `--verify-only` is what the deployer calls).
-2. **Deploy the engine** — `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine` (`--service` is the only way to name one service; `deploy-remote.sh` is the remote half and takes `<target> <git-revision> [service]...`, so never call it by hand with a bare service name). It builds the image (needs github.com once), installs the unit and the network file, gates on the container's health status, then warms.
-3. **Confirm the endpoint is alive** — `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8880/health` → `{"status":"ok"}`, and `systemctl --user status frank-tts-engine` showing the unit `active` with the warm pass behind it.
-4. **Confirm the voices are known** — the warmer's journal lines name every pack, and once the façade is up `curl http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` is the authoritative list (the façade has exactly three routes: `/health`, `/v1/audio/voices`, `/v1/audio/speech`).
-5. **Measure the ladder instead of trusting the trial** — two identical requests for one voice back to back. The design expected 6.2-8.0 s then 0.5 ms; the deployed container gave **1,883 ms then 1,226-1,283 ms**, so the hook buys ~0.6 s and stays only for the registry reason (law 1). The retired numbers must not be quoted.
-6. **Then the façade on 7772** (its own page), after the engine answered — that order is the whole point of step 6: publishing the façade in front of a dead engine would make every consumer fail at the first voice line.
-7. **Open:** [[Open Notebook]] is still not installed, so nothing renders a podcast yet; the voice leg it waits on now exists.
-
-### 2026-10-19 — the iGPU cutover (PR #34, `6248f02`)
-
-1. **Configure gate before touching anything** — the flag set, configured inside the
-   digest-pinned base on Dankclaw: `Found Vulkan: … found components: glslc` then
-   `Including Vulkan backend`. That probe is what caught `glslc` missing from
-   `glslang-tools`; the Containerfile's flag comment carries the finding.
-2. **Deploy** — `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine`: image rebuild
-   (the `cfhash` moved), unit reinstall, health gate, warm pass
-   (`3 voice(s) registered and warm`), Playwright e2e 33/33.
-3. **Prove the device, not the flag** — `sudo fuser -v /dev/dri/renderD129` lists
-   `tts-server` next to dragoon's `flash_serve`. Do this instead of reading the log: the
-   engine prints nothing about which backend it chose, so argv (`--device Vulkan0`) proves
-   intent and the render-node holder list proves use.
-4. **Consumer path** — one `/v1/audio/speech` per voice through the façade on 7772; all
-   three answered with audio. The RTF figure in the Facts table comes from one engine-direct
-   WAV, where the duration is exact.
-5. **Co-tenancy gate** — §5 of the verdict report: dragoon's first token and decode
-   unchanged with a 16.9 s synthesis occupying the card.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Meaning | Move |
-|---|---|---|
-| Unit restarts every 10 s, journal says `cannot read /models/…` | weights missing or the mount is empty | run the fetcher; re-deploy |
-| Unit `active`, but every voice name returns 400 from the façade | the engine restarted and lost its in-memory registry, or the warm pass failed | `journalctl --user -u frank-tts-engine` for the warmer's lines; `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh` |
-| Every voice logs `registration failed (HTTP no response)`, with `/usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long` on the line above it | the hook handed the registration body to curl as one argument: the kernel caps a single argument at 131 072 bytes (`MAX_ARG_STRLEN`), and a shipped `reference.wav` base64's to about 1.27 MB | the body goes through a temp file and `--data-binary @file` (2026-10-18). Any pack over ~96 KB trips this, so no small fixture can see it — the seam ships a 300 KB pack for exactly that reason |
-| Everything is ~2× slower after a systemd tweak | a cpuset/cap pin changed `hardware_concurrency()` and the engine resized its thread pools | remove the pin (law 2) |
-| `502` from the façade with `frank-tts upstream request failed` | the façade cannot resolve or reach the engine | `podman network inspect systemd-frank-tts-engine` and `podman inspect frank-tts --format '{{json .NetworkSettings.Networks}}'` — the façade must be attached to the bridge; a `127.0.0.1:8880` or `host.containers.internal:8880` upstream in `scripts/frank-tts.env` is the old shape and cannot work |
-| A voice is missing from the list | its directory has no `reference.wav`, or the name is not lowercase | fix the pack; both are refused loudly by design |
-| `podman exec` in the deploy says `no such file or directory` for `/app/warm-voices.sh` | the image predates the warmer | re-deploy: since 2026-10-18 `build_compose_image` hashes every file the image `COPY`s, not only `Containerfile.engine`, so editing the warmer rebuilds it — see  |
-| The warm pass logs `registered, but the warm synthesis failed` for EVERY voice, while a hand-run `/app/warm-voices.sh` succeeds | `WARM_TEXT` arrived **with its quotes**. podman's `--env-file` does no shell parsing — it takes the literal remainder of the line — so the env-file reader got `"Warm up, one two three."` where `source` gives `Warm up, one two three.`; the quotes plus a backslash then make the synthesis body invalid JSON | the hook strips one matched pair and escapes what is left; prove the value with `podman exec frank-tts-engine env \| grep WARM_TEXT`. The seam pins both readers, because a test that only sources the env file cannot see this |
-| A `502` for `/v1/voices` where the engine answers `200` on `/health` from the same boot | the engine restarted and its in-memory registry is empty again — `/health` is model-loaded, NOT voices-registered | re-run `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`; that is the same distinction the `frank-tts` healthcheck enforces |
-| Unit restarts every 10 s and the log ends on a **device** error *after* both GGUFs were read | the image has the Vulkan loader but no ICD, or the container has no render node — the device name then resolves to nothing | `podman exec frank-tts-engine ls /dev/dri` (it must see `renderD129`) and `podman exec frank-tts-engine dpkg -l \| grep -E 'mesa-vulkan\|libvulkan1'`; re-deploy to rebuild the image, or set `QWENTTS_DEVICE=` and re-deploy for the CPU shape |
-| `frank-dragoon` slows while TTS speaks | the contention premise broke — a Mesa bump, a third GPU tenant, a bigger synthesis | `QWENTTS_DEVICE=` + re-deploy this service, then re-run the gate recipe in §5 of `report/tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md` before putting it back |

-# Frank TTS
-
-`frank-tts` is the fleet's only speech endpoint: an OpenAI-shaped
-`POST /v1/audio/speech` on **Dankclaw :7772** that answers `voice=<name>` with
-audio in that cloned voice. Everything else in the voice stack sits behind it —
-the engine ([[Frank TTS Engine]]) publishes no port on purpose, and consumers
-never learn a path.
-
-**Deployed 2026-10-18** — `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts`
-both units `active`, no drop-ins, and the homepage card's `wip` gate came off in
-the same change. Probes on the deployed endpoint: `/health` answers
-`{"status":"ok","backend":"omni-http","voices":["narrator1","narrator2","narrator3"]}`
-and two different voices rendered the same sentence into **different** bytes
-(24 kHz mono PCM16, 4.24 s, healthy RMS) — so name resolution is real, not a
-pass-through of one default. The operator harness routes its `speech` role here;
-see [[#The harness speech role]]. What still waits is [[Open Notebook]]: its
-render needs the app installed, not this endpoint.

-| Host | Dankclaw (`192.168.0.143`), rootless podman, user unit `frank-tts.service` |
-| Port | **7772**, published (`PublishPort=7772:7772`) — the rest of the `frank-*` port family is in [[Dankclaw Stack]] |
-| Routes | `GET /health`, `GET /v1/audio/voices`, `POST /v1/audio/speech`; everything else 404, and speech is POST-only. The request's `model` field is **ignored** (measured 2026-10-19: `voxcpm2` and `tts-1` both synthesize the same way) — the voice comes solely from `voice`, so a consumer that must name a model may name it anything |

-A voice **is** a directory name. `voice=narrator1` resolves to
-`/voices/narrator1/reference.wav`, and that file — not a manifest, not a config
-entry — is what makes the name real. omp's TTS device may send `voice_id`; the
-shim accepts either. A call that sends **neither** — the harness's normal shape,
-because no harness setting carries a voice for this transport — speaks
-`$DEFAULT_VOICE`; empty default makes it a 400 again.
-
-The usable shape is `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9._-]*$`: lowercase, starting with a letter
-or digit, then letters, digits, `.`, `_`, `-`, at most 64 characters. No slash,
-no `..`, no space, no uppercase. The lowercase requirement is where two rules
-meet: `app.py` would accept `[A-Za-z0-9…]`, but `tts-server` **lowercases
-names**, so a pack called `Narrator1` resolves through the façade and not
-through the engine. The boot warmer therefore refuses a mixed-case directory
-loudly instead of letting it half-work.
-
-Names are user-visible: an unknown voice comes back as
-`400 unknown voice 'x'; available voices: …`, and that list is the honest
-census. The podcast speakers are `narrator1`, `narrator2`, `narrator3` —
-[[Open Notebook]] is configured with exactly those three, so renaming them
-breaks episode rendering, not just speech. A personal voice gets the person's
-name, lowercase.
-
-## Voice packs
-
-One directory per voice under `/home/dank/voices`:
-
-```
-reference.wav    24 kHz mono PCM, 18-25 s of clean single-speaker audio
-reference.spk    engine speaker embedding (8 192 B)
-reference.rvq    reference codec codes (22 B per 12.5 Hz frame)
-manifest.json    source file, offsets, engine, sha256
-```
-
-`reference.wav` is the engine-agnostic term the façade gates on; the other two
-are what makes a voice reusable by this engine, and they come from the pack
-builder ([[Voice Packs]]) — never by hand, never fabricated from the WAV. Two
-laws apply to the
-source material: offsets always start **past the first 10 seconds** of the
-sample, and packs are host state that stays out of this repo. Because the
-container runs as uid 10000, files must be world-readable (`644`/`755`), and the
-directory must exist before the first deploy: rootless podman auto-creates a
-missing bind source **root-owned**, which reads as "no voices" rather than as an
-error.
-
-Adding a voice to a running stack is a two-step thing — drop the pack, then
-register **and warm** it with
-`podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh` — because registering alone
-does not warm it. The reason is the cold-voice law in [[Frank TTS Engine]], and
-the procedure with its proof (the second request under a second) is the
-`frank-tts-add-cloned-voice` skill.
-
-## Why the upstream is a container name
-
-`scripts/frank-tts.env` used to point at `http://host.containers.internal:8880`.
-That cannot work, and it is the trap this shape exists to avoid: a bridge
-container reaches the host's network namespace, netavark DNATs **published**
-ports only, and an engine on the host's loopback is published to nobody — the
-same shape that 502'd hermes ([[Container Network Namespaces]]). So both units
-attach to one committed Quadlet network and the façade dials the engine's
-container DNS name.
-
-The consequence worth stating before an operator meets it: **the engine is not
-reachable from the host at all** — not over the LAN, not over loopback. Its
-health, voice registry and logs are observable only through
-`podman exec frank-tts-engine …` and `systemctl --user status`. And the façade's
-own `/health` answers 200 with the backend name and the voice list it resolved
-without dialing the engine, so "façade healthy, engine down" is a real state: it
-shows up as a failed synthesis, never as a down probe.
-
-## Where the engine computes
-
-The **gfx1151 iGPU**, as a co-tenant beside `frank-dragoon`: the Vulkan build of
-`qwentts.cpp` with `--device Vulkan0`, and `/dev/dri` handed to the engine container. That is
-the shape since 2026-10-19. The flag, the device name, the render-node trap on this hybrid box
-and the one-line CPU rollback are owned by [[Frank TTS Engine]] — read that page before
-touching either tenant, because a change to one is a change to both. Co-tenancy was gated with
-`frank-dragoon` live on the card (its first token and decode rates unchanged with a synthesis
-in flight); both gate recipes are §5 of `report/tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md`.
-
-**The NPU is a door only for a model the vendor has already compiled for it.** XDNA2 runs nothing but
-precompiled AIE partition programs, and AMD's own Linux runtime opens `/dev/accel/accel0`, succeeds at the
-ioctls, then declines this model family's graph without emitting a single log line. That is why TTS stays on
-the GPU — and it is not a general veto on the device: halogen ships its own precompiled catalog (embeddings,
-decisions, rerankers) that does run there, which is what [[frank-dragoon]]'s NPU-lane section is about. The
-measured record and the model-side contract live in `report/` at the repo root
-(`tts-npu-spike-verdict-2026-10-19.md`).
-
-## Files
-
-| Path | What |
-| --- | --- |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py` | the shim: stdlib only — resolves the voice, forwards, re-encodes mp3 |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile` | python 3.12-alpine pinned by digest + ffmpeg, uid 10000 |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts.container` | the unit: two networks, `Restart=always`, `HealthCmd`, `[Install]` |
-| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network` | the shared bridge, named after the engine unit and attached by both |
-| `scripts/frank-tts.env` | backend, upstream, port, limits, and the default voice — paths and numbers, no credentials |
-| `tests/frank_tts_unit.bats` | the shim against stub engines over real sockets |
-| `tests/frank_tts_engine.bats` | the pair's wiring: generator output, planner, homepage, deployer |
-
-## Deploying it
-
-`./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts` (or `--service frank-tts-engine --service frank-tts` for the pair):
-builds the façade image, installs **both** Quadlet units — including the
-engine's `.network` file, because a referenced `Network=` file the generator
-cannot find means the façade unit is not produced at all — creates
-`/home/dank/voices` as the deploy user, restarts the unit (whose `Wants=` and
-`After=` pull the engine and its warm pass ahead of it) and gates on podman's
-recorded health. It never runs `systemctl --user enable`; boot persistence is
-the `[Install]` section in each unit. Order matters in a full deploy:
-[[Frank TTS Engine]] is planned before this, and both before [[Open Notebook]].
-
-## Not scraped, and why
-
-`shared/prometheus/` gets **no** frank-tts job, and that is a considered
-absence. The façade exports no `/metrics` — `app.py` serves `/health` plus the
-speech route only — and this Prometheus 3 install refuses non-metrics content
-types: [[Prometheus]] records that the existing HTML probes (`comfyui`, the two
-`services` targets) sit **down** with
-`received unsupported Content-Type … and no fallback_scrape_protocol specified`.
-A `/health` probe job would therefore be structurally never-green, and because
-`LlmEndpointDown` is scoped across the whole `frank-*` job family (the rule set
-lives on [[Prometheus]]), a permanently red `frank-tts` target would page on
-Signal every few minutes for an endpoint that is fine. The engine cannot be
-scraped at all: it publishes nothing. Status lives in `systemctl --user status`
-`podman healthcheck run`, the two unit journals, and the homepage card, which
-probes `127.0.0.1:7772` for real now — the `wip: down` gate came off with the
-2026-10-18 deploy.
-
-## The harness speech role
-
-The operator harness reaches this endpoint through
-`~/.omp/agent/models.yml` — provider `frank-tts (dankclaw)`
-`baseUrl: http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1`, `auth: none`, and the runner api
-`openai-speech` on the **model** row (naming a runner api at *provider* level
-fails the whole file's validation and disables every custom provider, which is
-how the fleet's chat endpoints disappear) — plus `config.yml`
-`modelRoles.speech: frank-tts (dankclaw)/frank-tts`. Four laws, read out of the
-harness bundle and measured the day of the flip:
-
- **The only voice the harness can send is the `voice_id` argument of the call.**
-  The transport builds `{model, input, response_format, voice?}` and adds `voice`
-  **only** when the caller passed `voice_id`; no setting feeds it.
-  `tts.localVoice` is the *local Kokoro backend's* voice (it is what answered
-  `voice=kokoro/bm_george, backend=local` in the control test), and
-  `speech.voice` is the TUI's **speak-aloud** voice — its enum is Kokoro's list,
-  and it never reaches an HTTP request. So a harness call arrives voice-less by
-  default, which is exactly why the endpoint grew `DEFAULT_VOICE`: the declared
-  pack answers a voice-less request and the journal marks that line `(default)`
-  while an **unknown** name still 400s with the list that exists.
- **`speech.voice` must stay a Kokoro name.** Setting it to a pack name does not
-  select a pack; it hands the vocalizer a value outside its enum. (The first
-  draft of this section said the opposite and was reverted the same day, after a
-  fresh session's call came back `unknown voice None`.)
- **There is no silent fallback.** An explicitly configured `modelRoles.speech`
-  yields exactly one candidate, so a dead 7772 fails the speech device with
-  *"No available speech model matches the speech role"* instead of quietly
-  degrading to Kokoro. That is the price of `auth: none` (which makes a dead
-  endpoint read as available) and it is the wanted shape: a narration job should
-  fail loudly rather than ship a voice Frank never asked for.
- **A session older than the models.yml row cannot see it.** `models.yml` loads
-  at process start while `config.yml` is read live, so a long-lived session
-  carrying the flipped role fails exactly like a dead endpoint while a fresh
-  process succeeds in the same minute. Measured 2026-10-18: the open session
-  failed twice (provider/id form, then the bare id), `local/kokoro` succeeded in
-  that same session, and a fresh `omp -p --tools tts` returned `Saved 180524
-  bytes (model=frank-tts (dankclaw)/frank-tts, voice=narrator1, codec=wav)`
-  while the façade logged the matching `speech voice=narrator1 format=wav
-  chars=51 -> 180524 bytes` from the podman bridge. Rule the stale registry out
-  before blaming the service.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-| Symptom | Cause |
-| --- | --- |
-| `400 unknown voice 'x'; available voices: …` | the name is not a pack: case, spelling, missing `reference.wav`, or an empty/root-owned `/home/dank/voices` |
-| `(none: no voice pack with a reference.wav in /voices)` | the mount, not the voices: `podman inspect frank-tts --format '{{json .Mounts}}'`, then the directory owner |
-| Endpoint answers, synthesis fails | the engine: `podman healthcheck run frank-tts-engine`, then `systemctl --user status frank-tts-engine.service` |
-| First request of the day is ~0.6 s slower than the rest — or every name returns 400 | the warm pass did not run; it carries `-`, so it cannot fail the unit. `journalctl --user -u frank-tts-engine` for the warmer's lines, then `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh` — the registry is memory-only (law 1 of [[Frank TTS Engine]]) |
-| The unit never appears after a deploy | the generator dropped it: `frank-tts-engine.network` is missing from `~/.config/containers/systemd/` |
-| A consumer rejects `narrator1` by listing 29 names (`af_heart … bm_fable`) and no request ever reaches this endpoint | that consumer is synthesizing **in the browser** with Kokoro.js, whose voice pack is fixed — OpenWebUI 0.11.4 ships it as the `browser-kokoro` TTS engine; see [[OpenWebUI]] |

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).	2026-10-14 13:36:40 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 22:40:50 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 22:35:28 -07:00
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).	2026-10-13 22:35:12 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 22:35:12 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 22:35:07 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 22:04:48 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 21:58:13 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 21:44:38 -07:00
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.	2026-10-13 21:38:50 -07:00
