feat(frank-archon): move the endpoint to radiance 1.8.1 and its budget model

The decode stall is step contention (measured: 18.7 ms decode-only steps
against 317 ms steps that carry a prefill chunk, decode at 13 t/s median
while prefill runs), and the two engine knobs that fix it arrived after this
endpoint's pin. Moving to 1.8.1 (2026-10-18) brings both, and brings two CLI
breaks with them:

  - --vram-weights-mib / --vram-kv-mib were REMOVED at 1.3.0. The per-card
    split between the expert slab and the KV pool is now derived by the
    engine's budget resolver from --gpu-headroom-mib, the cache bound
    (--max-model-len, --max-num-seqs) and --host-pool-mib, and the cache may
    lend idle blocks to the expert slab. The slab size and the pool's token
    count are boot-ledger lines from here on, so the capacity contract
    (3 x 200,000 fp8) is verified live by the probe's capacity leg instead of
    computed from an env number.
  - The prefix cache has no disk tier any more: --prefix-cache-dir and
    --prefix-cache-disk-mib are refusals and --prefix-cache-host-mib is
    --prefix-cache-mib. 64 GiB of parked KV on NVMe becomes re-prefill, so
    prefix_hit_rate is the thing to watch after this boot.

env: image re-pinned to the 1.8.1 digest; the pair and the disk tier dropped;
FRANK_ARCHON_PREFIX_CACHE_MIB replaces the host/disk pair; new
FRANK_ARCHON_BUSY_PREFILL_CHUNK=auto (explicit, because auto vs off is the
difference between decode waiting one chunk and waiting a whole step) and
FRANK_ARCHON_PREFILL_INTERLEAVE=0 (opt-in through a guarded argv array).

serve: argv follows the new CLI, /data mount and the pre-created kvcache path
go with the disk tier, and the retired env keys are no longer required (they
would abort ExecStart). autoresearch-frank-archon.sh takes the same CLI, with
a cold prefill now coming from --prefix-cache-mib 0 instead of a per-run disk
directory. run-swift15-bf16.sh is untouched: it pins its own engines by design.

tests: the two budget-arithmetic seams asserted knobs that no longer exist and
are replaced by one seam that asserts the retired knobs are ABSENT from env and
argv - a stale line is a boot refusal, not a no-op. The container-contract seam
now asserts the tune mount and the absence of /data.

 1. Stop and mask (self-healing would restart it):
-   - Dankclaw `frank-large` (root unit, halogen podman on the iGPU):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-large && sudo systemctl mask frank-large`
-   - Dankclaw `frank-small` (root unit, llama.cpp on the 3090):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-small && sudo systemctl mask frank-small`
-   - Dankserver `frank-primary` (root unit, FreeToken on one R9700):
-     `sudo systemctl stop frank-primary && sudo systemctl mask frank-primary`
-2. Bench.
-   NOTE: `systemctl mask` FAILS on a relinked unit (the unit file in
-   `/etc/systemd/system/` is itself a symlink into the checkout — mask
-   refuses to replace it). Stop is enough for the bench window; the deploy
-   restores the unit, so re-deploy after benching instead of unmasking.
-3. Unmask and start; verify `curl http://192.168.0.<host>:7770/health`.

+   `sudo systemctl stop frank-archon` on Dankserver, then `mask` each.
+   `mask` FAILS on a relinked unit (the file in `/etc/systemd/system/` is
+   itself a symlink into the checkout); stop alone is enough for the window,
+   and the deploy restores the unit — re-deploy after benching rather than
+   unmasking.
+2. Bench against the service itself. No scratch ports on an LLM host — one
+   process owns the card. Use the runtime's own harness (`llama-bench`; a
+   live llama.cpp server also reports honest `timings` per request, including
+   `draft_n`/`draft_n_accepted` — but on frank-zealot's PrismML fork build
+   10777 that object only reaches you on **`/v1/chat/completions`**: a greedy
+   `ignore_eos` run on the raw `/completion` path there answers **500 "The
+   model produced output that does not match the expected Content-only
+   format"** (measured 2026-10-18). halogen has no `/completion` path at all,
+   so its rates are wall-clock around `/v1/chat/completions` plus the boot
+   ledger. Generate ≥128 tokens: at 8, `inter_token` is first-token noise and
+   run-to-run spread swamps every real difference.
+3. Unmask, start, verify `curl http://192.168.0.<host>:7770/health`.
+   Retire every bench drop-in the same session
+   (`systemctl show <svc> -p DropInPaths` must come back empty) and write the
+   numbers into the file Frank named — `/tmp` and the journal are not records.
+
+Instrument traps that survive from the era when this was routine:
+`gufo bench` cannot rank speculative decode and **inverts the ranking** (its
+corpus reports `acceptance=0.933 ± 0.000` with an identical trace sha256
+across draft widths — the same predictable text every run); llama.cpp's
+`Server-Timing` carries the unit in the **name** half (`ttft;dur=402.485`),
+so splitting on `=` keys the dict `ttft;dur` and every lookup silently
+returns nothing; halogen 0.16.2 answers `/completion`, `/ping`, `/props` and
+`/tokenize` with 404 and sends no `Server-Timing`; and the first request
+after a boot is a warmup artifact (measured 2.6 t/s prefill then 1,258 t/s on
+the next), so never report request #1.
 
 **CRITICAL:** never `systemctl disable` a system unit on these hosts — it
 deletes the unit file from `/etc/systemd/system/`, not just the symlink.
 `mask` symlinks to `/dev/null` and is safe/reversible.

+**One fact, one owner.** A page owns exactly one thing — an endpoint, a
+service, or a technique — and every other file links to it with `[[Page]]`.
+Restating a shape, a digest, a port list, or a measured number in a second
+file is a defect: it is the next thing to go stale.
+
+- **One page per endpoint, forever:** `serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/<endpoint>.md`
+  — current shape, an **Eras** table (`window | payload | runtime | shape |
+  replaced because | rollback`), the **Laws** the endpoint taught, the wire
+  contract, and the files that own it. A payload swap edits the shape block
+  and appends one Era row. It never creates a page, and the retired era's
+  page goes to `.AGENTTRASH/` once its rollback path and its laws are in the
+  table.
+- **`log.md` records incidents and laws** — anything with a causal story
+  (why the host went down, why a knob resets at reboot, why the RAM was the
+  fault). A model swap is not an incident: it is an Era row and nothing else.
+- **`AGENTS.md` carries operator-critical numbers only** — port, context
+  ceiling, slot shape, unit/env/serve trio — plus the cross-cutting laws.
+- **Index pages are locators:** one row, one clause, no numbers.
+- **A measured number is written once:** in the env-file header beside the
+  serve script that consumes it, and in the endpoint page. Every other page
+  cites it by link.
+- Technique pages (spec decode, KV math, offload budgets, PP bandwidth) stay
+  technique pages: they stop carrying a per-endpoint throughput table or a live
+  shape, but a campaign ledger that exists nowhere else is owned by the page that
+  measured it. The defect is two pages carrying one figure, not a number living on a
+  technique page — move a figure only when an endpoint page or an env header is its
+  home; otherwise leave it in place and name the era it measured.
+
 ## Model Config (harness)
 
 The harness reaches the fleet through `.omp/agent/models.yml` in the
 operator's home — `/home/blank/.omp/agent/models.yml` on the dev box, which is
 where the harness runs; there is no copy on the servers. Each provider is one
-HOST:PORT; each model `id` is the served alias: `frank-primary` →
-`192.168.0.235:7770`, `frank-large` → `192.168.0.143:7770`, `frank-small` →
-`modelRoles`.
+HOST:PORT; each model `id` is the served alias. **Official model ids are
+the StarCraft unit names (2026-10-08), on the wire since 2026-10-09, and

+the three former service names are fully retired and exist nowhere in
+the repo; historical text in runbooks uses the current names. Verify a
+rename on `/v1/models`, never
+on a chat response: radiance echoes the **requested** model name, so a 200

-**asymmetric KV** — `--cache-type-k f16` + `--cache-type-v q8_0` is the fleet's

-together. On 2026-10-03 Frank spent the headroom that lever bought: the reslice
-from three slots to two made room for **fully unquantized V**
-(`CACHE_TYPE_V=f16`); both flags stay explicit in the serve script. Vision came
-2026-10-02 via `--mmproj`: the GGUF carries no `v.*` tensors, so the projector

-which sits below either ubatch, did not move at all. The old "ubatch 2048
-failed the scratch boot" note belongs to the Q5_K_M predecessor and does 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.

+#
+# NETWORKS, in this order on purpose. The generated run line keeps file order,
+# so the DEFAULT ROUTE rides dankclaw_default: that is the network where this
+# host has measured that a bridge container can reach a host-namespace
+# listener through the gateway name (the Prometheus scrape of frank-zealot is
+# the proof — see [[Container Network Namespaces]]), and frank-tts lives there
+# too, so the TTS credential can be `http://frank-tts:7772/v1`. The private
+# systemd-open-notebook bridge is second and carries only the database; its
+# traffic is on-link, so losing the default route costs it nothing.
+#
+# PUBLISHED PORTS, and the 5055 collision. Upstream publishes 8502 and 5055,
+# and 5055 is exactly the port seerr already holds on this host
+# (`PublishPort=127.0.0.1:5055:5055`; `ss -ltn` on Dankclaw 2026-10-18 shows
+# 127.0.0.1:5055 taken). So the API leaves the container on host port 5056.
+# That forces one setting: the frontend auto-detects the API as
+# `<host-you-opened>:5055`, so API_URL in scripts/open-notebook.env must name
+# the remapped port explicitly, or the UI loads and every call fails. Both
+# ports are published on all interfaces because the consumer is a browser on
+# the LAN — the fleet's browser-facing services (open-webui, comfyui, gitea)
+# bind the same way, while loopback-only is reserved for services whose user
+# path is the guard chain. This service has NO vhost and no Caddy route: it is
+# internal-only until it is guarded, and its own password
+# (OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD) is what stands in front of it. That password is not
+# decoration: with it unset the API answers everyone on the LAN, including the
+# unauthenticated episode-audio download.
+#
+# VOLUMES. `/app/data` is a named volume: uploads, the LangGraph SQLite
+# checkpoints and the extraction caches the image keeps under it
+# (UV_CACHE_DIR, HF_HOME) are app state nobody browses. The ONE exception is
+# finished audio, which is bind-mounted out of the container at
+# /home/dank/media/podcasts. That mount is interim and reversible: episode
+# destination is an open human-only decision (Gitea issue #7, label
+# `human-only` — agents must not work it), and until it lands, episodes are
+# ordinary files on the host. DATA_FOLDER is hard-coded `./data` in the app
+# (WORKDIR /app) and the DB stores audio paths RELATIVE to data/podcasts, so
+# covering that one subdirectory is enough and removing the line changes
+# nothing else. The image declares no USER, so the app runs as container root,
+# which in this host's rootless mapping (0 -> 1000, measured on this host —
+# see [[Seerr]]) writes those episode files as dank.
+#
+# HEALTH. `GET /health` on the API returns {"status":"healthy"} and is in the
+# password middleware's excluded-path list, so the probe stays honest after the
+# password is set (both read from api/main.py upstream). The image installs
+# curl and ffmpeg in the runtime layer, so the probe needs no shell — kept
+# argument-only for the generator's space-splitting. Note what this probe does
+# NOT prove: the route returns a static body, so it says the API serves, not

+# [[Frank TTS Engine]]; the fleet-facing endpoint is [[Frank TTS]].
+#
+# WHAT THIS IS. The upstream source is NOT vendored here: the image clones
+# ServeurpersoCom/qwentts.cpp at one pinned commit and builds it. Rebuilding is
+# therefore a network operation (github.com plus objects.githubusercontent.com
+# for the `ggml` submodule), and build_compose_image in scripts/deploy-remote.sh
+# skips it whenever this Containerfile's sha256 label already matches the built
+# image — the same offline-safe idiom as loki/alloy/comfyui, so a re-deploy of
+# an unchanged engine needs no network.
+#
+# THE PINNED COMMIT IS THE CONTRACT. 5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4
+# is the commit the 2026-10-18 CPU trial on Dankclaw measured (server-side TTFA
+# 94-112 ms, warm RTF 0.55-0.67, run spread +-0.01 — the numbers that won the
+# engine decision). Moving it means re-measuring, not just editing this line.
+# `ggml` is a submodule of the repo (the only one; vendor/cpp-httplib and
+# vendor/yyjson are ordinary directories in the tree), and the submodule commit
+# is recorded in the parent tree, so cloning the parent commit recursively is
+# reproducible without a second pin.
+#
+# THE BUILD LINE IS THE ONE PROVEN ON DANKCLAW, verbatim:
+#
+#   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=OFF \
+#       -DGGML_METAL=OFF -DGGML_SYCL=OFF -DGGML_RPC=OFF \
+#   && cmake --build build -j 8
+#
+# Every flag is load-bearing, so do not "tidy" it:
+#   GGML_BLAS=OFF is FORCED, not a preference — Dankclaw has libopenblas.so.0
+#     but no BLAS dev headers, so the upstream default (BLAS on) fails to
+#     configure. Upstream's own Dockerfile and buildcpu.sh both pass BLAS on,
+#     which is why this file does not copy them.
+#   GGML_CCACHE=OFF because a container build layer has no persistent ccache
+#     directory to hit; on, it only writes a useless one.
+#   GGML_OPENMP=ON is what makes the runtime need libgomp1 (installed below).
+#   GGML_BACKEND_DL=OFF / GGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=OFF: upstream's images build
+#     every x86 ISA as a loadable backend so one image runs anywhere. This one
+#     is built on the machine that runs it, so the single native CPU backend is
+#     what was measured. That is also why no -DGGML_NATIVE is passed: ggml
+#     defaults it ON outside wasm/cross-compiles, i.e. -march=native for THIS
+#     host — correct while build host == run host, wrong if anyone ever builds
+#     this image elsewhere, which is why the fleet builds it on Dankclaw.
+#   CUDA/HIP/VULKAN/METAL/SYCL/RPC all OFF: this is a CPU endpoint (the trial
+#     ran on CPU; the box's GPUs belong to the text endpoints).
+#
+# BUILD SHARED LIBS, RUNTIME SMALL. BUILD_SHARED_LIBS defaults ON on Linux, so
+# tts-server links libggml*.so rather than swallowing them; the runtime stage
+# copies the binary and its shared objects out of the build tree and points
+# LD_LIBRARY_PATH at them, exactly as upstream's own Dockerfile does (the RPATH
+# baked at link time names the build directory, which does not exist here).
+#
+# BASE PINNED BY DIGEST, like every other image this fleet builds: the digest
+# is the multi-arch INDEX of ubuntu:24.04 as resolved from Docker Hub on
+# 2026-10-18; Dankclaw takes the amd64 entry. One base for both stages so there
+# is exactly one thing to re-resolve.
+#
+# NO HEALTHCHECK IN THIS FILE. The probe lives in the Quadlet unit
+# (HealthCmd=), which is the fleet pattern for anything with a shell — see the
+# alertmanager/prometheus units, and the opposite case in dankclaw/loki, whose
+# distroless image has no /bin/sh for the generator's CMD-SHELL wrapping.
+# `curl` is therefore installed in the runtime stage, for that probe only.

+"""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.

+#
+# 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 / NO GPU. Peak RSS measured 5.7 GiB with both GGUFs resident
+# (2026-10-18 trial); no memory limit is set because the box has the room and a
+# limit would convert a busy moment into an OOM kill mid-utterance. No
+# /dev/kfd, no /dev/dri, no keep-groups: every GPU backend is compiled out of
+# the image, the endpoint is CPU-only by decision, and the GPUs on this host
+# belong to the text endpoints.
+#
+# 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).

+# 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

+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# 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.

+#    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

+# autoresearch-frank-archon.sh — RUNS ON DANKSERVER, driven over ssh by the
+# dev-box autoresearch.sh. It is the canonical frank-archon benchmark entry
+# point for the autoresearch loop.
+#
+# Method (mandated by the Benchmarking Policy): the production service serves
+# real users and shares the two R9700s, so a bench beside it starves the GPUs
+# and corrupts results. This script therefore:
+#   1. stops the production frank-archon unit (root, relink symlink: stop,
+#      NOT mask — mask refuses to replace a symlinked unit file),
+#   2. boots a scratch radiance container named `arbench` on the SAME two
+#      cards with the candidate engine argv (the env file the loop edits),
+#   3. polls /health until the listener is live (it binds AFTER the full
+#      load, so a bare curl is an honest gate),
+#   4. runs ONE self-contained completion request locally (127.0.0.1, no LAN
+#      jitter): a fixed ~140k-char real-text prompt (~32k tokens) decoded for
+#      256 tokens, greedy. The engine's `timings` object reports the honest
+#      prefill and decode rates for that single request.
+#   5. prints METRIC lines and tears the scratch down,
+#   6. restores production (systemctl start), via a trap so a failed bench
+#      never leaves frank-archon down (the stale-probe-tail lesson).
+#
+# Determinism: the prompt is built from a fixed, sorted corpus of repo files
+# with a fixed random seed, so prompt_n is stable across runs. Sampling is
+# greedy (temperature 0), so the decode length is fixed; the only residual
+# nondeterminism is the wht6 lossy TP all-reduce, which is a constant across
+# runs and cancels in A/B comparisons.
+#
+# The scratch mirrors the production container contract exactly (serve-frank-
+# primary.sh): --network host, --init, seccomp=unconfined (io_uring for the
+# n-gram table), memlock unbounded (the ~132 GiB pinned ledger), /dev/kfd +
+# /dev/dri, the .rad ro, the tune cache mount. The ONLY differences: the
+# container name (arbench, so prod's identity is untouched) and the prefix cache
+# switched OFF (--prefix-cache-mib 0), so every prefill is cold — the tier is
+# host RAM now, there is no per-run disk directory to wipe.

+# WHY A STAGING DIR (the one non-obvious step): rad-convert selects its
+# architecture plugin by the checkpoint's quantisation DESCRIPTOR —
+# derived from config.json's quantization_config (core/format/checkpoint.cpp:
+# "fp8" here). No shipped plugin claims (qwen4exp, "fp8"): the shipped
+# qwen4exp plugin claims (qwen4exp, ""), the descriptor recipe-built
+# containers carry (they are built from the bf16 upstream, which has no
+# quantization_config at all). The match is exact with no fallback, so an
+# unmodified convert refuses before declare. The descriptor is only a
+# selection key; per-weight encodings are data — the checkpoint reader
+# derives them from the tensors themselves (X.weight_scale_inv is the
+# scale plane; checkpoint.h). Staging drops the quantization_config key
+# (everything else is a relative symlink into the pristine download) so
+# the convert selects the shipped plugin. EVERY weight is then copied through
+# in its own encoding — block-FP8 codes + bf16 scale planes stay block-FP8 —
+# except TWO value-preserving reshapes that stack-qwen38-official-fp8.py
+# performs on the staging dir first, and ONE recipe rule that finishes the
+# PLE table:
+#   * experts: the plugin maps the STACKED layout (mlp.experts.gate_up_proj
+#     [E,2F,H] with the _scale_inv plane at the same index) while the official
+#     repo ships per-expert unfused tensors — staging byte-stacks them
+#     (gate rows first, no requantisation).
+#   * PLE: the plugin's fp8 branch wants the table codes beside a ONE-ELEMENT
+#     bf16 scale plane; the official repo ships 128 SCALELESS fp8 shards plus
+#     one bf16 scalar. Staging decodes to bf16 with the checkpoint's own
+#     scale, and the convert's rtn rule re-encodes at that same scale —
+#     every original code is restored exactly and the scale plane lands in
+#     the form the plugin declares.
+#
+# WHY A CONTAINER AT ALL: a checkpoint dir has no mapped/file tiers, and a
+# weight only a host kernel reads (the n-gram / PLE table, 51B params)
+# cannot be served from one (GUIDE §3.4). rad-convert also bakes the
+# tokenizer and the checkpoint's chat template; the runtime replaces the
+# template with froggeric's (--override-chat-template).
+#
+# The convert runs rad-convert inside the digest-pinned radiance image
+# (the host has no ROCm and needs none): /home/dank/models is mounted at
+# /models so the staging dir's RELATIVE symlinks resolve inside the
+# container. Output lands beside the raw download, owned by dank
+# (rootless podman maps container-root to the invoking user).

+# 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

+"""calib-push.py — drive a calibration corpus through a radiance scratch
+server's prefill so its tap writes layer Hessians (docs/MOE-W4.md).
+
+Runs ON DANKSERVER next to the scratch server (the one autoresearch- /
+serve-style scratch container booted with RADIANCE_CALIB_DIR set).
+Reads the corpus JSONL produced by make-calib-corpus.py
+({"prompt": "..."} a line), POSTs each prompt to /v1/completions with
+max_tokens=1 (prefill-only cost, one token out), at N-way concurrency
+matching the scratch server's --max-num-seqs budget.
+
+Corpus rounds repeat until the engine prints the tap's completion line
+("calibration wrote layer Hessians") in `podman logs <container>` — that
+is the ground truth that RADIANCE_CALIB_TOKENS was reached. After that
+line, further prompts are pure waste, so the driver exits.
+
+Mechanics notes:
+- requests carry no sampling params that matter (max_tokens=1, greedy).
+- a per-request timeout of 30 min: at ~1k tok/s prefill a 12k-token
+  prompt is a few seconds; the timeout only catches a wedged engine.
+- failures print and continue: the tap pools over tokens, a few lost
+  prompts do not bias the Hessians (the corpus is drawn round-robin over
+  source classes, so loss is class-neutral as long as failures are rare;
+  a systematic 4xx is loud in the log and must be fixed, not ignored).
+
+Usage: calib-push.py [--port 7770] [--parallel 64] [--container arbench]

+The law (docs/MOE-W4.md "Protected experts", restated in the recipe):
+an expert whose share of its layer's down-input energy is at least 3% AND
+at least three times its share of the routing is kept bf16; the count must
+be EVEN on each rank's half of the layer (the four-bit GEMM takes the rest

+Data: the calibration dir's per-expert down Grams,
+gram.r<rank>.blk.L.ffn_down_exps.<e>.bin — 32-byte RADGRAM2 header
+(magic, k, rank, rows, domain) then k*k f32, named with the checkpoint's
+GLOBAL expert numbering (arch/common/rad_block_moe_fp8.h: ge =

+of the Gram is its down-input energy. Rank halves: 0-255, 256-511

-# 3.7 — the original pin; FreeToken main+PR587 accepts torch>=2.11,<2.16 and
-# triton>=3.6,<3.9). There is no rocm7.14+torch2.14 image on Docker Hub (the
-# 2.14 images are rocm10.1.0 — an untested pair for this PR), so the PR doc's

-# byte-identical to main.
-#
-# Build law from docs/install_amd.md:
-#   - `pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -e .` — the image's ROCm
-#     torch is preserved and used to compile the C++/HIP extensions.
-#   - NEVER a plain `pip install -e .` on ROCm: the dependency set is
-#     authored for NVIDIA (flashlib pulls numba + nvidia-cutlass-dsl; torch
-#     metadata pulls cuda-bindings) and the resolve can REPLACE the ROCm
-#     torch with a CUDA build.
-#   - Runtime deps installed explicitly, curated by the same doc. flashinfer
-#     / sgl_kernel / nvidia-cutlass-dsl have no ROCm builds and are
-#     intentionally absent — FreeToken gates them off and falls back to its
-#     Triton kernels on ROCm.
-#
-# Base is digest-pinned (2026-10-05): sha256:a223aee1… is the manifest this
-# build was qualified against; a re-pushed tag cannot change the stack. The
-# readable tag rides along for humans (podman verifies the digest matches).

+# 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

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

-# t/s mean (vs this endpoint's MTP 27.6-28.1 and the old halogen-era MTP

-#
-# SHAPE — the two knobs that are NOT free:
-#   HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS=1 KEEPS SPECULATION ON. halogen makes batching and
-#   speculation mutually exclusive: with >1 slot the drafter is disabled
-#   and per-stream decode falls to serial speed (the sibling engine
-#   measured 41 t/s -> 14 t/s when slots were raised, and halogen's own
-#   FLAGS.md prints the same law). frank-large was already a one-session
-#   endpoint under ROCmFPX (PARALLEL=1), so slots=1 is the same contract,
-#   not a regression.
-#   HALOGEN_SLOT_CTX=200700 (Frank's window) is the per-conversation hard
-#   ceiling — a prompt over it is a 400 naming the limit, never a silent
-#   truncation. KV pool = slots x slot_ctx x 64 KiB = 12.2 GiB. Budget

-#   ~20-30, host baseline ~10 -> ~75-85 GiB in use. The 2026-09-16 halogen
-#   era ran the same engine class on this box with LESS headroom.
-#   HALOGEN_DRAFTER=2 (DFlash2) is the shipped default and the fastest
-#   exact drafter on this checkpoint; the .hgn BAKES BOTH drafters (MTP +
-#   DFlash2), so unlike the Flash-Next era there is no sidecar to mount

-# frank-primary.env — FreeToken (PR #587 ROCm) serving the orcarouter
-# Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8 payload on dankserver :7770.
-#
-# 2026-10-05 cutover from the tcclaviger RDNA4 vLLM fork (git tag
-# frank-primary-vllm-shapeG-20261003 is the pre-cutover state; the 362-line
-# vLLM-era env is in that tag). The engine is FreeToken at PR head
-# 77a7201f98f00d93f618c6cf8b81ffe8360e0899 (branch rocm714_torch214), built
-# on the host into a local image by
-# scripts/docker/frank-primary-freetoken.Dockerfile — the PR's own
-# docs/install_amd.md stack (ROCm 7.14 base image, torch 2.11.0+rocm7.14,
-# triton 3.7) for gfx1201.
-#
-# WHY FREETOKEN: the vLLM fork's expert offload planned VRAM/host tiers per
-# boot from an estimator (util 0.982 law, arena 17.77 GiB / 7,762 slots,
-# ~40k-token GDN state faults) and 1.0 was unbootable. FreeToken keeps ALL
-# expert weights in pinned HOST RAM (~120 GiB) with an LRU GPU cache, sizes
-# KV from an explicit token pool, and serves on ONE R9700 (32 GB) with the
-# second card idle. RAM fit: 246 GiB total, service stopped frees the vLLM
-# container's ~170 GiB; weights ~120 GiB + PLE 47.7 GiB + overhead ≈ 190 GiB.
-#
-# PAYLOAD: unchanged — /home/dank/models/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-FP8,
-# 131 safetensors shards. Quant is standard modelopt block-FP8: 75,264
-# weight_scale_inv tensors (block 128x128), zero input_scale (FreeToken #462
-# covers exactly this export shape), one weight_scale on the PLE ngram
-# embedding. FreeToken loads HF safetensors directly; no FTW conversion.
-#
-# SERVING FACTS (docs/cli.md, verified against main+PR587):
-# - `ft serve` loads the checkpoint directly; `--served-model-name` keeps the
-#   harness id; reasoning/tool parsers are AUTO (reasoning lands in
-#   reasoning_content — models.yml flips reasoningContentField to match).
-# - KV: --page-size must stay 1 for GDN/SWA models (default); --cache-type
-#   radix auto-picks the GDN-aware variant.
-# - MoE: --moe-strategy auto -> offload (fp8 experts CANNOT use
-#   --moe-cpu-layers; only bf16/nvfp4/mxfp4 have a CPU executor).
-#   --moe-cache-rate holds the GPU LRU fraction of all experts.
-# - `ft ctl cache --kv --moe` grows the pools LIVE on a running server
-#   (shrinking needs a restart); `ft ctl stats` reports pool occupancy.
-# - KV MATH: 12 full-attention layers x 2 KV heads x 256 head_dim x 2 (K+V)
-#   x 2 B = 24 KiB/token (f16 KV; the 36 GDN layers use fixed per-seq state,
-#   not per-token KV). See FRANK_PRIMARY_FT_NUM_TOKENS below for the pool
-#   size and its measured page-size law.
