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).

-**Architecture: qwen35 hybrid** — read from the GGUF's own header: `block_count`
-**33 = 32 trunk layers + the `blk.32` MTP block** (the MTP block has its own

-786,432 pool (ledger-exact) — exactly HALF the 27B's 34,816 B/token, which is
-the whole reason three native windows fit where the 27B afforded only two
-shortened ones. **f16 K would bill 26,112 MiB and cannot boot on a 24,123 MiB

-(37.7 t/s class) — never report it.
+**Why MTP is off**: it is not a choice — **this Q6_K file carries no

+property of the file, not of the flags. The publisher card advertises "MTP
+support" for the base architecture; the quantized export dropped the head.
 
-**Why MTP is off even though the head is in the file.** The drafter is GOOD —
-acceptance 0.798 / 0.617 per position, mean accepted length 2.41 — and the card
-recommends depth 2. It still loses AT THIS SHAPE because the draft context
-bills its OWN **f16** KV over the WHOLE pool (4,096 B/position × 786,432 =
-**3,072.00 MiB**, 4,830 MiB with its compute buffers) and ubatch 2048 refuses to
-give it up. Booted arms, same card, same traffic (2026-10-18):
+**Measured boots** (nvidia-smi, the referee): the deployed boot is
+**21,436 used / 2,689 free** (ubatch 2048) — the pricing boots were the
+MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B pair at this exact geometry (**21,276 / 2,849** at
+ubatch 1024, **21,846 / 2,279** at 2048), so the 415 MiB lighter weights
+bought back what the projection predicted. The engine ledger confirms the KV
+law to the MiB: `CUDA0 KV buffer size = 12544.00 MiB` (`K (f16): 6272.00`,
+`V (f16): 6272.00`), compute buffers 1,136 MiB on CUDA0 + 848 MiB host, the
+mmproj 879 MiB + 248 MiB. Decode is ubatch-invariant (Swift-era 3090 law). The
+Q6_K rung costs ~10 % decode vs Q5_K_M (weight bandwidth; MiMo-measured 94.4
+vs 104.8 t/s).

-**MTP is worth +28 % decode whenever the card has room**; the squeeze, not the
-drafter, is what halves it at three windows. The arm that WOULD run it at three
-windows is `SPEC_TYPE=draft-mtp` + `UBATCH_SIZE=1024` (213.5 t/s single-stream,
-250.8 three-stream aggregate) and pays prefill −17 % and 2.7 GiB of headroom on
-a card whose projector worst-case lands AFTER the engine's own fit check. This
-endpoint is the fleet's compaction hub — prefill-bound, 2–3 concurrent
-subagents — so the shipped arm takes the +17 % prefill (2,877 vs 2,395 t/s) and
-the +12 % three-stream aggregate (280.2 vs 250.8) over single-stream speed, and
-keeps 6.2 GiB free. `SPEC_TYPE=none` strips the WHOLE spec set (`--spec-type`
-and every `--spec-draft-*`) — flags move as a set or the arm measures a crash
-instead of an absence.
-
-**Sampler**: the recipe lives in the checkpoint (`general.sampling.*` =
-temperature 1.0 / top_p 0.95 / top_k 20 / min_p 0 / repeat_penalty 1.0,
-confirmed in the engine's own `/props`) and llama.cpp reads it itself.
-**Presence penalty is the one recipe value with no GGUF metadata key**, so
-`PRESENCE_PENALTY=1.0` must reach the argv; `""` is the documented opt-out, and
-the serve script therefore uses `${PRESENCE_PENALTY=1.0}` (NOT `:=`, which
-would silently re-add the flag on an explicit empty value).
-
-**Vision**: the publisher's own **Q8_0** mmproj via `--mmproj` — Q8_0 is
-MANDATORY, not a preference: the card says the BF16 tower "can crash
-llama-server when several image requests run at once", and `--parallel 3` is
-exactly that shape. Probe traps carry over: ≥256 px probe images or the model
-answers "video", only the OpenAI `image_url` content part reaches the model,
-and thinking tokens count against `max_tokens` — budget ≥512 or the probe
-returns EMPTY `content` with `finish_reason: "length"` and the endpoint looks
-blind while it is only mid-thought.
-
-**Base alignment**: Bonsai-2 is the censored BASE lineage. Unlike the 27B, the
-CRACK re-export on disk (`/home/dank/models/Bonsai2-CRACK/`) is byte-identical
-geometry to the 27B it matched, NOT to this 9B file — if a refusal ever
-surfaces there is no one-line `MODEL_FILE` swap; a 9B dealigned export would
-have to be fetched first.
+**Vision**: the publisher's own BF16 mmproj via `--mmproj` (the model is
+natively multimodal; the Q6_K file carries no vision tensors). Probe traps
+carry over: ≥256 px probe images or the model answers "video", and only the
+OpenAI `image_url` content part reaches the model.
 
 **Compaction hub**: `models.yml` routes `compactionModel` for
-`frank-archon`, `frank-dragoon` and `frank-zealot` (the 3090 endpoint) here —
-262,144 (since the 2026-10-18 reslice) is the widest window in the fleet and
-the only one that comfortably fits a worst-case compaction input (~170k
-tokens). With `--parallel 3` a compaction request no longer serializes behind a
-live generation (the Gemma4 era's `--parallel 1` law). Retrieval through a
-25,960-token prompt was verified exact after the swap.
-
-**Contract law learned at verbosity 4:** a raw `/completion` request prints
-`failed to parse reasoning content (… parse_reasoning=true)` whenever the
-model closes a bare prompt with `` — cosmetic
-(`probe_request.cpp:789`); the `/v1/chat/completions` path parses
-`reasoning_content` correctly, which is the only path consumers use. Do not

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

-# PUBLISHED PORTS, and the 5055 collision. Upstream publishes 8502 and 5055,
-# and 5055 is exactly the port seerr already holds on this host
-# (`PublishPort=127.0.0.1:5055:5055`; `ss -ltn` on Dankclaw 2026-10-18 shows
-# 127.0.0.1:5055 taken). So the API leaves the container on host port 5056.
-# That forces one setting: the frontend auto-detects the API as
-# `<host-you-opened>:5055`, so API_URL in scripts/open-notebook.env must name
-# the remapped port explicitly, or the UI loads and every call fails. Both
-# ports are published on all interfaces because the consumer is a browser on
-# the LAN — the fleet's browser-facing services (open-webui, comfyui, gitea)
-# bind the same way, while loopback-only is reserved for services whose user
-# path is the guard chain. This service has NO vhost and no Caddy route: it is
-# internal-only until it is guarded, and its own password
-# (OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD) is what stands in front of it. That password is not
-# decoration: with it unset the API answers everyone on the LAN, including the
-# unauthenticated episode-audio download.
-#
-# VOLUMES. `/app/data` is a named volume: uploads, the LangGraph SQLite
-# checkpoints and the extraction caches the image keeps under it
-# (UV_CACHE_DIR, HF_HOME) are app state nobody browses. The ONE exception is
-# finished audio, which is bind-mounted out of the container at
-# /home/dank/media/podcasts. That mount is interim and reversible: episode
-# destination is an open human-only decision (Gitea issue #7, label
-# `human-only` — agents must not work it), and until it lands, episodes are
-# ordinary files on the host. DATA_FOLDER is hard-coded `./data` in the app
-# (WORKDIR /app) and the DB stores audio paths RELATIVE to data/podcasts, so
-# covering that one subdirectory is enough and removing the line changes
-# nothing else. The image declares no USER, so the app runs as container root,
-# which in this host's rootless mapping (0 -> 1000, measured on this host —
-# see [[Seerr]]) writes those episode files as dank.
-#
-# HEALTH. `GET /health` on the API returns {"status":"healthy"} and is in the
-# password middleware's excluded-path list, so the probe stays honest after the
-# password is set (both read from api/main.py upstream). The image installs
-# curl and ffmpeg in the runtime layer, so the probe needs no shell — kept
-# argument-only for the generator's space-splitting. Note what this probe does
-# NOT prove: the route returns a static body, so it says the API serves, not
-# that the database answers. The DB has its own probe in its unit, and the
-# worker's failure to reach the database shows up as failed jobs, not as an
-# unhealthy container.

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

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

-#   - 127.0.0.1:9100   for host-local probes
-#   - 192.168.0.235:9100 for Prometheus, which scrapes this host from Dankclaw
-#     (shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml, job "node-dankserver"). It cannot use
-#     loopback across hosts, and node_exporter has no authentication, so the
-#     wildcard bind stays off the table. This is the same deliberate LAN
-#     listener posture the observability runbook documents.
+# LISTEN ADDRESSES. Exactly two: loopback for the homepage status probe, and

+Thin wrapper over scripts/service-map.py, which owns the path->service

-# 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

-#
-# 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

-# 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

   C  prefix-cache restore — probe A's cold prompt again, so the disk tier has
      to give the blocks back (cache_n > 0, TTFT collapses).
-  D  concurrency decode — `seqs` CONCURRENT 512-token generations at ~25 % of
-     the window. This is the cost a slot count imposes on DECODE, which no
-     prefill number shows: the fused-step schedule is unfair, so every stream is

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

+# 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.

-# 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

    and SSO specs complete in ~0.5 s per vhost instead of a PoW each.
-6. **Apps navigate too — and may leave.** `12-crawl` returns to the homepage
-   between links, and Plex Web (signed out in the `qa-e2e` profile) runs its own
-   sign-in flow: it redirects the top frame, so Chromium cancelled our
-   `goto("/")` with `net::ERR_ABORTED` (once as a 420 s timeout, once at 5 s on
-   the same link), and the same redirect then lands the browser on
-   `app.plex.tv` — Plex's hosted surface for a session-less client — which broke
-   the `hostname == target` law. Two narrow answers: `backHome()` re-issues the
-   navigation on that one error class, and the landing check takes an explicit
-   hand-off list (`HANDOFFS`) instead of a single host. The guard contract is
-   untouched: challenge cleared, no authentik `uidField`, status < 500, and every
-   host NOT in the list still has to land on its own vhost.

+# 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`).

Do not reintroduce a compose service for Gitea or the proxy.
-- **Legacy compose retired.** `/opt/gitea/podman-compose.yml` is retired to `/opt/gitea/.deprecated/` (`ls` 2026-10-18 shows the file there, 1,278 B). Do not run it. Its containers collide with the Quadlet units on ports 3000 and 2222.
-- **Canonical proxy, and it is exempt.** `gitea.franksdank.cloud` is served by the canonical Caddy **unit** (`dankclaw/caddy/quadlet/caddy.container`, repo `dankclaw/Caddyfile`), which proxies to `192.168.0.143:3000` and is on the **exempt** list — no Anubis challenge, no Authentik gate — because git clients cannot solve a JS proof; Gitea's own login is the only gate.

If a legacy unit is ever installed again, the deployer stages it under `~/.AGENTTRASH/YYYYMMDD-gitea-caddy/` before starting canonical Caddy (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:347,365-370`).
-- **`/metrics` is off, so Prometheus cannot scrape Gitea.** `curl http://127.0.0.1:3000/metrics` → **404** and the container carries no metrics-related environment variable (`podman inspect gitea-server` filtered 2026-10-18; no `ENABLE_METRICS`/`PROMETHEUS` line in either quadlet). The `gitea` job (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:46-49`, target `192.168.0.143:3000`, `metrics_path: /metrics`) is therefore DOWN with `server returned HTTP status 404 Not Found` (`/api/v1/targets` 2026-10-18).

-**It is NOT deployed.** This page documents repo-owned configuration — the Quadlet units, the env file, the deployer path, the homepage card — and the contract those files were written against. On 2026-10-18 no `open-notebook` or `open-notebook-surrealdb` container exists on Dankclaw (`podman ps -a` census, 2026-10-18), and the homepage card ships `wip: "down"` with `showLink: false`, so the card is hidden and reported `wip-down`. Deploying it is a deliberate next step, not a pending one.
-
-**Host:** Dankclaw (rootless Podman, user `dank`) — **Ports:** 8502 UI and 5056 API, published on the LAN, **no vhost and no Caddy route** — **Deployer:** `open-notebook` (one service, two units) — **Docs:** https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook

-## Facts (verified 2026-10-18 against the pinned images, upstream source, and the live host)

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

 ## Trusted Group (limiter.toml)
 
-The trusted group lives in `shared/searxng/limiter.toml`, not in `settings.yml`. The `settings.yml` file only turns the limiter on (`server.limiter: true`, `shared/searxng/settings.yml:11` — and the running instance confirms it: `GET /config` reports `limiter.enabled: true`, 2026-10-18). The file deploys to `/opt/searxng/config/limiter.toml` (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:211`), mounted at `/etc/searxng/limiter.toml`. The deployed copy is byte-identical to the repo file today (`diff` clean, 2026-10-18).
+The trusted group lives in `shared/searxng/limiter.toml`, not in `settings.yml`. The `settings.yml` file only turns the limiter on. The file deploys to `/opt/searxng/config/limiter.toml`, mounted at `/etc/searxng/limiter.toml`.
 
 Two lists control access:
 
 - `pass_ip` — an IP in this list gets unrestricted access and bypasses all bot detection.
 - `trusted_proxies` — if the request IP is in this list, SearXNG reads the real client IP from `X-Forwarded-For` (set by Caddy).
 
-The `pass_ip` list holds loopback (`127.0.0.1/32`, `::1`), the whole homelab LAN (`192.168.0.0/24`), and the host's private podman/slirp ranges (`10.88.0.0/16`, `10.89.0.0/16`) — `shared/searxng/limiter.toml:54-60`. An IP in `pass_ip` skips every bot-detection check, including the rate limiter: ip_lists "outranks every other method" (`limiter.toml:41-45`). `deploy.sh` copies the file into place on each deploy (`scripts/deploy-remote.sh:208-211`).
+The `pass_ip` list holds loopback (`127.0.0.1/32`, `::1`), the whole homelab LAN (`192.168.0.0/24`), and the host's private podman/slirp ranges (`10.88.0.0/16`, `10.89.0.0/16`). An IP in `pass_ip` skips every bot-detection check, including the rate limiter. `deploy.sh` copies the file into place on each deploy.
 
 Why so many ranges: rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits. A request to the published port reaches the container with a slirp/bridge source (`10.88.x`/`10.89.x`), never the real client IP. Only Caddy's `X-Forwarded-For` restores it. So a local subagent that hits the port directly must present a `pass_ip` source, or it is treated as an untrusted client. All these ranges are reachable only from the host or the LAN, never the internet.
 
 The rate limiter's JSON cap is `API_MAX = 4` requests per IP per hour. The constant is hardcoded in Python (`searx/botdetection/ip_limit.py`). It cannot be raised from `limiter.toml`. `pass_ip` is the only bypass. This is what lets 4 parallel subagents poll the JSON API at full rate without a 429.

-Seerr is the unified request manager for the *arr stack (the maintained `seerr-team/seerr` successor to the archived Overseerr/Jellyseerr line). It is meant to route approvals to Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr on FrankBook-Pro and push downloads to qBittorrent. **It is not launched:** `shared/homepage/services.json` ships the card with `wip: "down"`, `showLink: false` and the description "Work in progress: not open to family users yet", and `/srv/homepage/status.json` (2026-10-18) still reports it `wip-down` even though the container is up.

 ## Why loopback-only publishing
 
 Seerr is browser-facing; the only sanctioned user path is the guard chain (Caddy → Anubis → Authentik SSO). `PublishPort=127.0.0.1:5055:5055` keeps the app off the LAN entirely while still letting the homepage probe agent and host-local checks reach it — the same loopback convention as other guarded hosts (see [[Homepage Design Grilling]]).
 
-There is no health endpoint to point at: measured on 2026-10-18, `GET http://127.0.0.1:5055/` answers **307** (redirect into the app) and `GET /api/v1/version` answers **404** — Seerr does not expose that path, so do not wire it as a health probe. The homepage card probes `127.0.0.1:5055` and is marked `wip: "down"`, which is why the card stays hidden while the container is up.

The `.lan` hostname variant was deliberately dropped: `dankclaw/pihole/addn-hosts` carries no `frankbook-pro.lan` record (verified against the file, 2026-10-18), and IP bases match the Mac stack's verified LAN reachability. *(unverified 2026-10-18: 192.168.0.112 is offline at this census — `ping` fails and the arr probes report `down` in `/srv/homepage/status.json`, so LAN reachability from Seerr could not be re-measured; the quadlet header's "resolved via the Pi-hole addn-hosts record frankbook-pro.lan" is stale for the same reason — no such record exists.)* API keys live in each arr's config.xml on the Mac and are entered through Seerr's settings store. *(unverified 2026-10-18: the keys are inside Seerr's SQLite store, not readable from the repo.)*

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

-Alertmanager receives firing rules from Prometheus, groups and dedupes them, and forwards each group as a webhook to the host-side Signal relay — which sends it through signal-cli to Frank's phone.

-- Reads container logs from two globs: `/var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/*/userdata/ctr.log` (`job="podman"`) and `/var/log/containers/*.log` (`job="containers"`) (`config.alloy:29-35`).
-- Forwards everything to `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push` by container name on `dankclaw_default` (`config.alloy:13-17`).

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

-## Delivery state (2026-10-18): healthy, shipping nothing
-
-The unit is `active`, the container reports `healthy`, the log says `Alloy is ready`, and the pipeline carries no data at all. Measured on 2026-10-18:
-
-- `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:12345/metrics` → `loki_source_journal_target_lines_total{component_id="loki.source.journal.journal"} 0` and `loki_source_file_files_active_total{component_id="loki.source.file.containers"} 0`. The journal source logs no error; the counter simply never moves. The journal files it would have to read through the `/var/log` bind are `root:systemd-journal 0640` with an ACL (`ls -l /var/log/journal/64a287d7…/` 2026-10-18).
-- Both file globs were refused at start (`journalctl --user -u alloy`, 2026-10-18T08:25:27Z), verbatim: `failed to create source, skipping … component_id=loki.source.file.containers error="failed to tail file, stat failed: stat /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers/*/userdata/ctr.log: permission denied"` and the same message for `/var/log/containers/*.log: no such file or directory`.
-- Downstream that means Loki holds zero streams — `GET /loki/api/v1/labels` returns `{"status":"success"}` with no `data` — see [[Loki]].
-
-No fix is claimed here: the unit, the config and the push endpoint are all correct as written, and the gap is source-side access (and a Kubernetes-style glob that does not exist on this host). Anyone closing it should re-check the two counters above, not the health status — health is exactly what hides this failure mode.
+Alloy's UI listens on the container's own `127.0.0.1:12345` by default, and Alloy 1.x refuses to configure the `ui` service from a config block ("service ui does not support being configured").

Do not put a `$2a$14$` prefix in the template: it would render a double-prefixed, invalid hash (2026-08-22 incident — every basicauth vhost returned 401 for every password; `tests/caddyfile.bats:67-72` forbids the prefix). `tests/deployment_flow.bats` pins the render contract.

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

 - `admin off` disables the config file watcher: rendered changes then sit on disk while Caddy serves its stale in-memory config until the container is recreated, and nothing logs an error (2026-08-22: a broken basicauth hash survived several deploys this way). `tests/caddyfile.bats` forbids `admin off`.
 - The basicauth template must stay a bare `REPLACE_WITH_HASH` token (no `$2a$14$` prefix) — the rendered value is the complete hash. A double prefix silently rejects every password with 401; no Caddy error is logged.
-- A public vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]].

-- The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]]. *(unverified 2026-10-18: hairpin behaviour is only observable from a WAN-side client; nothing on the LAN or in this repo can prove it)*

-Loki responds on `/ready` with 200. The health command is **not** in the unit: a unit `HealthCmd` reaches podman as `CMD-SHELL`, i.e. `/bin/sh -c`, and this image is distroless with no shell at all.

 ## Log Shipping
 
-The [[Alloy]] agent on Dankclaw is wired to ship container and journal logs to `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push` (`shared/alloy/config.alloy:13-17`) — by container name on the `dankclaw_default` network, never through the vhost (a non-browser client cannot solve the Anubis challenge). **Nothing arrives today:** Alloy's own counters read zero lines read and zero files tailed, with both file globs refused at start (`journalctl --user -u alloy` 2026-10-18); see [[Alloy]] → "Delivery state".
-
-## Contents (2026-10-18): healthy, empty
-
-The service answers and the API works; there is simply no data in it. Measured on 2026-10-18:
-
-- `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:3100/loki/api/v1/labels` → `{"status":"success"}` with no `data` key (no label names exist), and a 7-day `query_range` on `{job="systemd-journal"}` returns `"result":[]`.
-- `du -sh /opt/loki/data` → a few hundred KB of directory scaffolding (`wal`,
-  `chunks`, `compactor`, `tsdb-shipper-active`, `tsdb-shipper-cache`) —
-  `find /opt/loki/data -type f` counted **8 files**, all WAL segments,
-  cluster-seed and delete-request bookkeeping, **no chunk objects**
-  (2026-10-18; the byte total drifts as the WAL rolls, so it is not a
-  useful invariant — the file census is).
-- Prometheus-side health is green: the `loki` job scrapes `loki:3100/metrics` and reports up (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:57-61`), and the homepage card probes `127.0.0.1:3100` (`shared/homepage/services.json:207`).
-
-So "30-day retention" is a policy that has never had anything to delete, and no page should describe log history as available. The cause is upstream of Loki — the shipper ships nothing — and no fix is claimed here; the check that matters is a label query, not `/ready`.
+The [[Alloy]] agent on Dankclaw ships container and journal logs to `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push` — by container name on the `dankclaw_default` network, never through the vhost (a non-browser client cannot solve the Anubis challenge).
 
 ## Gotchas
 
 - Filesystem storage grows; keep compactor retention on.
 - Loki and Alloy must agree on the push URL: `http://loki:3100/loki/api/v1/push`.
 - The listener is loopback-only now. Shipping logs from a second host would need the unit's publish changed (or a shared network), not just an Alloy install — Loki has no authentication of its own, so that decision is a security one, not a config one.
-- Nothing queries Loki: Grafana's only provisioned datasource is Prometheus (`shared/grafana/provisioning/datasources/prometheus.yml:14-21`, uid `prometheus`), and there is no Loki datasource file in that tree. Adding one is a YAML file, not a UI click — see [[Grafana]] → Datasource.

 ## Why it is the one LAN listener
 
-Every other observability service publishes a port on loopback. This one runs in the host network namespace instead, and netavark DNATs only *published* ports — so a bridge container cannot reach a host-netns bind at the host's LAN address, and the exporter has to be reachable at an address the consumers can actually dial:
+Every other observability service publishes on loopback. This one cannot:
 
-- **Prometheus** runs in a container on `dankclaw_default` and scrapes `host.containers.internal:9100` (`shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml:37-39`) — the gateway address netavark delivers a bridge container's host-bound dial to. It does **not** scrape `192.168.0.143:9100`; that address is refused by construction from this container, the same rule that sends `frank-dragoon` and `frank-zealot` to the gateway. `node-dankserver` is a different machine, so its LAN address is used (`prometheus.yml:41-43`).
-- **The homepage status timer** runs on the host and probes `127.0.0.1:9100` (`shared/homepage/services.json:220`).
+- **Prometheus** runs in a container on the `dankclaw_default` network and cannot reach the host's loopback address, so it needs the host's LAN IP; `shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml` scrapes `192.168.0.143:9100` under the `node-dankclaw` job.
+- **The homepage status timer** runs on the host and probes `127.0.0.1:9100`.
 
-The unit therefore binds exactly those two addresses with two `--web.listen-address` flags (`node-exporter.container:39`) — never the wildcard: `ss -ltnp` (2026-10-18) shows `127.0.0.1:9100` and `192.168.0.143:9100` and nothing else. The LAN bind stays in the unit because LAN machines scrape it directly and the seam test pins it, not because this Prometheus needs it. It has no authentication, so it is never vhosted and never published beyond the LAN.

 ## The deploy path

-from `deploy_observability`:
+`scripts/deploy-remote.sh` carries two copier functions:
 
-- `copy_prometheus_config` → `/opt/prometheus/config/prometheus.yml` **and** `config/rules/llm-fleet.yml` (`:219-227`)
-- `copy_alertmanager_config` → `/opt/alertmanager/config/alertmanager.yml` (`:232-235`)
-- `install_signal_relay` → the user unit + iptables + the health wait on `192.168.0.143:18093/health` (`:243-274`)
-- `copy_loki_config` → `/opt/loki/config/loki-config.yaml` (`:276-279`)
-- `copy_alloy_config` → `/opt/alloy/config/config.alloy` (`:281-284`)
-- `copy_grafana_provisioning` → `/opt/grafana/provisioning/` (`:286-300`)
+- `copy_prometheus_config` → `/opt/prometheus/config/` on the target
+- `copy_grafana_provisioning` → `/opt/grafana/provisioning/`
 
-`scripts/deploy-plan.py` maps `shared/prometheus/**` to `prometheus` (plus
-`alertmanager` when the changed file is `alertmanager.yml`, `:251-256`),
-`shared/loki/**` to `loki` and `shared/alloy/**` to `alloy` (`:257-260`), and
-`shared/grafana/**` to `grafana` (`:261-264`); changes under
-`dankclaw/observability/` select the touched unit and its dependency consumer
-(`:321-328`), and a change to either relay file redeploys `alertmanager`
-(`:399-402`). So `deploy.sh dankclaw --service grafana` (etc.) restarts only
-what the change touched. Seam tests in `tests/observability_quadlet.bats` pin
-the unit files exist and are boot-persistent/self-healing (`:36-62`), that no
-unit publishes on a wildcard (`:63-81`), that the copiers install each unit
-(`:250`), that grafana provisioning is declared in git and installed
-(`:345`), and that the provisioned paths match the units' mounts.

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

-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| Prometheus | `docker.io/prom/prometheus:latest` | `127.0.0.1:9090` | `prometheus.container` | [[Prometheus]] |

-| Signal relay | host `python3`, not a container | `192.168.0.143:18093` | `scripts/signal-relay.service` (user unit) | [[Alertmanager]] |
-
-Every unit lives in `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/`, carries
-`Restart=always`/`RestartSec=10` and `WantedBy=default.target`, is installed at
-`~/.config/containers/systemd/<name>.container`, and reports `generated` +

-linger is on for `dank`). `signal-relay.service` reports `enabled` + `active`
-the same day, and `homepage-status.timer` — the root unit that probes all of
-these on loopback — is `enabled` + `active` (`deploy-remote.sh:319-321` copies

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

 ## Gotchas
 
-- **Keep the node-exporter address in step with the unit.** `node-dankclaw` scrapes `host.containers.internal:9100` (`prometheus.yml:37-39`), because this Prometheus is a bridge container and a host-netns bind is unreachable at the host's LAN address from inside it; `node-exporter.container:39` binds `127.0.0.1:9100` + `192.168.0.143:9100`. Change one side without the other and host metrics stop with no error anywhere. The `tests/observability_quadlet.bats:108-131` seam pins the pairing in both directions.
+- **Keep the node-exporter address in step with the unit.** `node-dankclaw` scrapes `192.168.0.143:9100`, which is exactly the LAN address `node-exporter.container` binds (`Network=host`, `--web.listen-address` twice). Change one without the other and host metrics stop with no error anywhere. The `tests/observability_quadlet.bats` seam pins the pairing.
 - The container name `prometheus` is what Caddy's post-auth handler proxies to, and `grafana`/`loki` are addressed by name here. Renaming a container breaks both silently.
 - Keep scrapes modest for a small homelab; too many targets bloat the TSDB.

-Dankclaw is an AMD APU + RTX 3090 inference host. It ran CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp inference through 2026-08-22 ([[ciru-activefpx-promptforge]], retired). The host runs Ubuntu 26.04 with an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 Strix Halo APU. The APU uses unified memory — CPU and GPU share the same physical RAM pool.

 ## Runtime Relevance
 
 - Unified memory eliminates separate VRAM limits. The GPU uses system RAM.
-- The GPU budget is the GTT aperture: ~114 GiB (`mem_info_gtt_total` in `/sys/class/drm/card1/device/` = 122,402,963,456 B; `card1` is the amdgpu iGPU, `PCI_ID=1002:1586`; `llama-server --list-devices` reports 116,732 MiB). rocm-smi's smaller SVM/dedicated carve-out is **not** the budget — the 2026-08 "64 GiB rocm-smi" lesson is stale. Do not use `free` or `dmidecode` for the GPU budget.
-- The active services are `frank-dragoon` on 7770 — **halogen-flash-server 0.16.2** serving the native v2 abliterated `.hgn` in a rootless podman container ([[frank-dragoon-flash-server-v2-native]]) — and `frank-zealot` on 7771 ([[frank-zealot-llama-prism-bonsai2-pq20]]). The gufo v0.1.1 / UD-Q8_K_XL runtime this page once described is retired (2026-09-28 → 10-01, [[frank-dragoon-gufo-qwen38-27b]]); the gufo build tree is still on disk at `/home/dank/GitPackages/gufo-v0.1.1/`.

+- The active runtime **links against the host ROCm** (`/opt/rocm` → `/etc/alternatives/rocm` → 7.2.4) through its RPATH, so it needs the host HIP stack rather than a bundled one — the opposite of the retired llama.cpp prebuilt, which carried its own.

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

-Dankserver has neither NVIDIA card today: it carries 2× 32 GB (32,624 MiB) R9700s.

 Lower values leave more GPU memory for KV cache. This reduces swap frequency.
 
 ### Swap Space / KV Offload
 
-Recent vLLM releases removed the `--swap-space` engine argument — `CacheConfig` on `main` has no `swap_space` field ([source](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vllm-project/vllm/main/vllm/config/cache.py), read 2026-10-18).
