docs(voice-packs): runbook, index link, and the log entry

The page a new operator needs: what the three required files are and who
reads each one, how a pack is built (with the extractor's usage text
verbatim, because the flags are not guessable and there is no -o), the
10-second gate and where it fires twice, how to add a fourth voice
including the warm hook that registers a pack without restarting the
engine, and the engine-bump procedure for when the artifact sizes move.
Plus the host census as of 2026-10-18 — the trial packs carry no
artifacts and their manifest is the trial's own schema, so the builder's
first real run is a --force migration — and the three gaps left open on
purpose: no curated ICL transcript, no 16 kHz variant, no loudness pass.

+#
+# 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
+# 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

+"""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.

+# 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

+# "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.

+"""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]

+"""derive-protected-experts.py — rewrite the recipe's protected-expert section
+from a calibration recording. RUNS ON DANKSERVER (venv: numpy).
+
+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
+as two equal tables by parity) — an odd half gains its next most energetic
+non-qualifying expert.
+
+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 =
+expert_base + e). rows (header) is the expert's routing count; the trace
+of the Gram is its down-input energy. Rank halves: 0-255, 256-511
+(contiguous expert_base split at TP=2).
+
+Output: the cast-rule lines (recipe format) on stdout, a report on stderr.

-# frank-primary-freetoken.Dockerfile — FreeToken (PR #587 ROCm) serving image

-# 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

+# the only companions available are peonist's — which is also what the

+# **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

+# qwen3.8-next-flash-fp8-iq4r-moe.rad (116,322 MiB, sha256-verified at fetch —

+# spare). NO argument changed: every number below is the 2026-10-13 shape,
+# kept verbatim. The swap commit is the rollback (the w4dn8 payload stays on
+# disk).
+
+#
+# SHAPE (2026-10-13): THREE decode slots x 200,000 tokens, fp8 (quantized) KV,
+# with the per-card budget spent on resident experts: 25,600 MiB of slab +
+# 5,120 MiB of pool = 30,720 MiB, inside the 30,969 MiB ceiling the engine's own
+# budget table allows (card 32,624 MiB, settle floor 209 MiB). The pool is sized
+# to the contract and nothing more (3 x 200,000 needs 5,063 MiB at fp8; 5,120
+# predicts 608,027 tokens, 1.3 % slack), because every MiB taken from the slab
+# is prefill and TTFT (2026-10-11 A/B: slab -14.8 % cost prefill -29 %, TTFT
+# +25 % at the full window) while KV beyond the contract buys nothing.
+# Consequence, deliberate: a FOURTH full-height conversation does not fit this
+# pair, and the engine refuses it — it never truncates. See the KV block for the
+# arithmetic and the measured dtype law. The w4dn8 payload is the swap
+# rollback and keeps its trio under the w4dn8 runbook; the fp8-native payload
+# that came before it was DELETED from disk 2026-10-15 (Frank's call, to free
+# the volume for this download — rebuildable via the fetch + build scripts
+# named in the fp8-native runbook).
+#
+# 2026-10-05 cutover from FreeToken (PR #587 ROCm, one card, experts in
+# pinned host RAM; git tag frank-archon-freetoken-pr587-20261005 is the

+# tag and rebuildable). Before that: tcclaviger vLLM fork (tag
+# frank-archon-vllm-shapeG-20261003).
+#
+# WHY RADIANCE: the engine is C++/HIP with libr4d kernels built for
+# gfx1201, drives `podman run` directly from the digest-pinned
+# stilldeadcode/radiance image (287 MiB; host needs only the amdgpu driver),
+# and its qwen4exp plugin reads the modelopt FP8 encoding NATIVELY
+# (`X.weight_scale_inv` is the scale plane — checkpoint.h). The PLE n-gram
+# table (51B params, 47.7 GiB) is served from pinned host RAM via io_uring
+# reads — Frank's call: "Native FP8. Experts from ram. Pin the PLE to ram."
+# THE 4-bit-codebook publisher shape is the DEPLOYED payload since
+# 2026-10-15. The card's own run line (--host-pool-mib 12288,

+# descriptor law (no shipped plugin claims (qwen4exp, "fp8"), so the staging
+# config.json drops quantization_config; per-weight encodings are data, not
+# the descriptor).
+#
+# SERVING FACTS (docs/GUIDE.md, docs/DOCKER.md, compose/flashnext.yaml):
+# - The HTTP listener binds AFTER the full load (main.cpp: engine.start()
+#   then engine.serve()) — during load the port refuses connections, so a
+#   bare curl /health gate is honest. /health == /ping: 200 JSON while
+#   serving, 503 only while stopping (core/server/admin.cpp:385).
+# - Reasoning: --reasoning-format defaults to auto, emitting thinking in
+#   `reasoning_content` (config.cpp). Tool calls: the qwen3.8 dialect, from
+#   the chat format. Both need no parser flags.
+# - Sampling: the OpenAI endpoint accepts temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p,
+#   typical_p, presence_penalty, frequency_penalty, repetition_penalty,
+#   repeat_last_n, chat_template_kwargs, reasoning_effort,
+#   enable_thinking, preserve_thinking (core/server/oai.cpp:194-205) —
+#   models.yml's extraBody set is fully inside it. Unknown params are
+#   refused (400), which is why nothing unverified rides the wire.
+# - MTP: the .rad carries the model's mtp.* head (the publisher's recipe
+#   names the mtp.fc_hidden/fc_embedding/draft_head rules; card default
+#   depth 3). Served at the depth named by FRANK_ARCHON_SPEC_TOKENS below —
+#   the depth this shape's decode ladder was measured at.
+# - The fused TP all-reduce is declared over max-num-seqs x
+#   (1 + --num-speculative-tokens) rows; 3 x (1+2) = 9 rows, under the 25-row
+#   exactness bound of the wht6 wire.
+# Engine pin: Codeberg tag v1.0.13 (commit 53282fa), Docker Hub tag 1.0.13,
+# index digest below. REJECTED UPGRADE: 1.2.0 (sha256:665775ed1d90de6dbb

+# change — the 1.2.0 MoE weight-rotation change (92b8aaf) is the named
+# suspect; decode loss tracks the acceptance ratio (0.943 vs 0.945).

+# (30.9-33.1 t/s, inside the +-3% noise floor) — slot count buys concurrency,

+# VRAM split of claimed memory per card, MiB (0 = derive from the card).
+# THE CEILING, read off this engine's own VRAM-budget table (boot 2026-10-13,
+# pair 24000/5120): card 32,624 MiB; budgets claimed 29,120; `3.42 GiB is
+# neither budgeted nor accounted — the driver's context, the activation arena
+# and --gpu-headroom-mib come out of it; anything past those is throughput on
+# the floor`; and `card 0 settled at 2.01 GiB free against 209.19 MiB (the
+# 96.00 MiB --gpu-headroom-mib and 113.19 MiB kept for the static region)`.
+# So the reserve above the ENGINE's floor is 2,058 - 209 = 1,849 MiB and the
+# ceiling is 29,120 + 1,849 = 30,969 MiB. The 2026-10-11 bound of 29,120
+# ("31,856 - 1,710 outside both budgets - keep 1 GiB free") was MY reserve, not
+# the engine's; the pair below spends the difference and lands 458 MiB above
+# the engine's floor. `weights + kv <= 30,969` is the gate.
+# THE PRICE, and it is paid twice: on this engine idle KV VRAM is ALSO the
+# expert cache's spillover (`mover: 2275 slots can be lent out of the KV
+# cache (2.69 GiB)`, `arena: lends 740 MiB while steps are <= 256 tokens`),
+# so a bigger KV pool steals weight residency from the slab AND from the
+# lendable cache. Priors on this card/model: stealing 2.14 GiB of weights for
+# a bigger pool (MAX_MODEL_LEN 262144) cost 2.5% decode; the EVC ladder's
+# other direction (0.82 -> 0.84, +2.5 GiB weights) cost 8.9%. The 2026-10-11
+# exact-KV A/B measured the slab's own price (22208 vs the fp8-era 26071):
+# prefill -29 %, TTFT at the full window +25 %, decode inside the noise band on
+# 2 of 3 passes, draft acceptance UP 0.661 -> 0.740.
+# 2026-10-13 (late): THREE slots, so the pool is cut to the contract (5,120)
+# and every spare MiB goes to the slab: 22208 -> 24000 (the third slot's
+# surplus KV), then 24000 -> 25600 (the card's settling slack). The direction
+# the A/B data points: prefill is slab-limited, KV beyond the contract is not.
+# The margin is thin by design (608,027 predicted tokens against the 600,000
+# contract), so the boot ledger's `backs N sequences all at 200000 tokens at
+# once` line is the referee for THIS pair and the concurrent probe is its
+# regression test.
+# VERDICT on the 25,600 arm (measured 2026-10-13, scripts/probe-frank-archon-kv.py):
+# the threshold claim is FALSIFIED — the slab is a SLOPE at this end. A-cold
+# 43.5k single-stream: 22,208 -> 3,397, 24,000 -> 3,290, 25,600 -> 3,584 t/s;
+# the 3-way 197k arm's aggregate prefill 3,051 -> 3,589 t/s (wall
+# 193.7 -> 164.5 s). So +1,600 MiB of slab = +8.9 % single-stream and
+# +17.6 % concurrent, both outside the +-3 % noise floor. The 22,208/24,000
+# pair landed inside noise of EACH OTHER, which is what made it read as a
+# plateau; two points are not a curve.
+# The cliff that remains is between 25,600 (3,584) and 26,071 (4,379, the
+# 2026-10-11 fp8 control at seqs 3 / pool 3,543) — +22 % for +471 MiB. At THREE
+# slots that is only reachable by breaking the ceiling (26,112 + 5,120 = 31,232
+# vs 30,969, ~214 MiB above the engine's floor); at TWO slots it is free:

+#   3 x 200,000 at fp8 needs 4,285 + 330 + 448 = 5,063 MiB; the pool is 5,120,

+#   At bf16 the same three slots cost 8,093 + 778 = 8,871 MiB, which would cut

+#   state) — quote the RESERVATION. FLAGS.md law: "RAM the pool
+#   takes is RAM that table loses" — the 47.68 GiB n-gram table surrenders this
+#   much page cache, so the warm prompt-cache ratio is what to re-measure.
+#   HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS=2 restores the w4b-era shape on this box: the MTP
+#   drafter is NOT slot-locked on this engine (batching and speculation
+#   coexist — DFlash-era slots>1 law does NOT carry over; the card's own

+#   concurrent capacity, not a speculation tax.

+#     prompt cache (12 entries x 111 MiB at ctx 200704) booked separately by
+#     the ledger; HALOGEN_HOST_RESERVE_GIB=20 keeps the host honest. Against

+#     read 22 GiB right after the raise) for baseline co-tenancy
+#     (frank-zealot, ComfyUI, Caddy/observ ~10-15). The boot ledger is the
+#     referee — read it after deploy and re-size if the engine prints a
+#     clamp.
+#   HALOGEN_SPEC_ADAPT=0 is MANDATORY (card): the default adaptive policy
+#   turns the MTP head off for whole requests after low acceptance and
+#   HALVES decode as a result. Frank accepted the head always-on trade
+#   (temp 1.0 traffic costs acceptance; the card still ships the recipe).
+#
+# CLIENT CONTRACT deltas vs the 27B shape (harness side lives in

+#   * SERVER-SIDE SAMPLER EXISTS NOW: HALOGEN_TEMPERATURE/TOP_P/TOP_K set
+#     the card's thinking recipe (1.0 / 0.95 / 20) as engine defaults, so
+#     an absent temperature is no longer greedy. models.yml extraBody
+#     carries the same values — consistent, not load-bearing.
+#   * HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192 is only the DEFAULT for requests that omit
+#     max_tokens; the harness sends at most its maxTokens 45056. Requests
+#     over HALOGEN_MAX_TOKENS_CAP (65536) are a 400 naming the cap. Cap and
+#     queue timeout are COUPLED (FLAGS.md table): 65536 at ~10 t/s serial
+#     worst case needs > 6550 s; 7200 honors it. Do not move one alone.
+#   * max_tokens INCLUDES thinking; a reasoning reply over a small budget
+#     returns empty content with finish_reason "length".
+#   * Prompt cache is ON by default (PROMPT_CACHE=2): a follow-up turn at
+#     100k context re-prefills ~2 s instead of ~88 s cold. No pin needed —
+#     unlike the 27B engine, auto-sizing fits this box's ledger.
+#   * Thinking lands in reasoning_content (same as the 27B engine); the
+#     v2 chat template rejects reasoning_effort outside xhigh|medium|low,
+#     so the models.yml fold (high->xhigh) still applies.
+#   * Vision: OpenAI image_url content parts only (the fleet's standard
+#     contract). >=256 px probe images or the model answers "video".
+#   * Concurrency at depth is tight now: the KV pool is ONE 200,704-position
+#     budget behind 2 slots — exactly one maximum-length request fills it. Two
+#     conversations coexist only while they stay under ~100k each. The
+#     PER-REQUEST ceiling moved WITH the pool (262144 -> 200704), so the harness
+#     contract moves too: contextWindow 155648 = ceiling − 45k, never higher.
+#   * response_format json_object/json_schema unsupported in this line
+#     (no constrained decoding) — unchanged from the 27B engine.
+#   * The engine's token protocol has no auth and binds loopback INSIDE
+#     the container; only the frontend port (8731) is published. Same as

-# WHY THE RUNTIME MOVED WITH THE MODEL: the payload is .hgn — per its own
-# card it "will not load in transformers, vLLM, or llama.cpp". Accepted
-# consequences (Frank, 2026-10-05): TEXT-ONLY (halogen ignores the model's
-# vision encoder; the fleet's vision path is frank-small) and the CENSORED
-# base (this is a finetune of Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B, not the abliterated file —
-# refusals may return). What it buys: vendor-measured decode DFlash2 31.7
-# t/s mean (vs this endpoint's MTP 27.6-28.1 and the old halogen-era MTP
-# 26.9), prefill ~566 t/s at 32k (was ~400 on the sibling engine), 1.4-2.3x
-# wall-clock on prefill-heavy agent traffic, at HIGHER effective precision
-# (~6.32 bpw vs ~6.6 with the old W4A4 promotion — see FLAGS.md).
-#
-# 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
-#   against the 121 GiB of unified memory: weights 33.4 GiB (mmap'd — page
-#   cache, not anon), KV 12.2, engine working set + auto prompt cache
-#   ~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
-#   and no --dflash flag — the drafter is an int knob, byte-identical

-# --- qualified engine shape (2026-10-02, shape E) ---------------------------
-# WHAT THE SLOT COUNT DOES AND DOES NOT DO. The endpoint advertises 3 slots
-# (SEQS 3), but the POOL, not the slot count, decides how many full-length
-# conversations are resident. MEASURED LIVE 2026-10-02 at this shape:
-#   GPU KV cache size: 398,658 tokens,
-#   Maximum concurrency for 200,704 tokens per request: 1.99x
-# (3,146,129,408 B reserved — 7,892 B/token). The per-token price is
-# SHAPE-DEPENDENT, not a constant: the 262144 shape priced at 7,701 B/token
-# (6,100,000,000 B -> 792,069 tokens), ~2.5% cheaper, so never extrapolate a
-# concurrency figure across geometries. Shorter requests use the spare blocks,
-# and a third LONG request queues rather than being refused. Verified: three
-# concurrent 67-token requests answered in parallel, ~4.1 s each.
-#
-# WHY NOT --max-num-seqs 2 (measured 2026-10-02, single-variable boot probes
-# against the then-deployed known-good shape, production stopped for each):
-#   SEQS 2 + MNBT 1024 -> Engine core initialization failed
-#   SEQS 2 + MNBT 2048 -> Engine core initialization failed
-#   SEQS 3 + MNBT 1024 -> healthy (792,069 tokens, 3.02x, arena 6,248)
-#   SEQS 3 + MNBT 2048 -> healthy (the deployed incumbent)
-# The failure is torch.fx ConstraintViolationError: query_start_loc.size()[0]
-# "marked dynamic but your code specialized it to be a constant (3)", raised
-# from AOT build_guards(strict_error=True) during profile_run -> _dummy_run.
-# model_runner.py sizes that input buffer max_num_reqs + 1 and _dummy_run sets
-# num_reqs = min(max_num_batched_tokens, max_num_reqs), so the width is
-# SEQS + 1 for ANY MNBT >= SEQS: 3 at SEQS 2, 4 at SEQS 3. MNBT only moves the
-# compile RANGE ((1,1024) vs (1,2048)) and cannot dodge it — the 2x2 above is
-# why MNBT is not a lever here. --enforce-eager bypasses the path but loses
-# CUDA graphs. Same failure class killed the 2026-10-01 bf16 2 x 262144 shape.
-#
-# THE ARENA LEVER IS max_model_len, NOT KV_BYTES (measured 2026-10-02). The
-# planner sizes expert cache as budget - non-expert - KV reserve - graphs -
-# overhead, and the KV reserve is registry-priced at 9190 B/token x max_model_len:
-#   MAXLEN 262144 -> reserve 2.48 GiB -> arena 14.30 GiB / 6,248 slots
-#   MAXLEN 200704 -> reserve 1.91 GiB -> arena 14.87 GiB / 6,496 slots
-# d(reserve) 0.57 GiB = d(arena) 0.57 GiB = +248 slots. The 6.1e9 -> 3.15e9
-# pool cut buys ZERO arena; it buys runtime HEADROOM (the shape it replaced
-# died with 0 bytes free on a real 995-token request). To grow the arena,
-# lower MAXLEN — not KV_BYTES. The OTHER arena lever is the overhead term:
-# --expert-precise-memory (shape E) takes it from 7.60 to 5.25 GiB and lands
-# those 2.35 GiB in the arena — 14.87 -> 17.22 GiB / 6,496 -> 7,522 slots.
-#
-# GATHER 32x64 stays: R4D_LRU_GATHER_CHUNKS=32 / R4D_LRU_GATHER_LANES=64
-# measured +18.7% decode vs default geometry and the win grows with depth.
-# Do not drop it.
-# CHUNKED PREFILL: the fork exposes the standard scheduler flags. --max-num-batched-tokens
-# (MNBT) is the lever; --enable-chunked-prefill is an auto-flag (True in SchedulerConfig)
-# and --prefill-schedule-interval is the gap between iterations. The running shape carries
-# --max-num-batched-tokens 2048 with --max-model-len 200704, so chunked prefill is ON and
-# already active: a 200704-token prompt is prefilled in ~98 iterations of 2048 tokens.
-# MEASURED 2026-09-29 on the ad hoc qwen-fp8 container (same fork, same payload, TP=2):
-# MNBT 8192 vs the default 2048 is NEUTRAL on decode at every depth, and small values
-# re-chunk prefill only — they hurt TTFT and never touch decode, because a decode step is
-# max_num_seqs x (spec+1) tokens, independent of MNBT. There is NO --ubatch-size
-# equivalent in vLLM: that is a llama.cpp compute-buffer concept (the frank-small pair
-# doubled on 2026-10-05 has no counterpart here). MNBT is therefore NOT a lever on this
-# shape — the deployed 2048 is the fork's default — and every change re-enters the
-# compile RANGE path, so FRANK_PRIMARY_CACHE_DIR pays one recompilation.
-# MNBT 2048 (Frank's call, 2026-10-03; the lock was 1024). The measured law
-# still holds: MNBT 512 doubles TTFT at 4064 ctx (2.46 s vs 1.36 s), 1024-4096
-# are interchangeable on decode, 12288 costs 2.5% plus arena. 2048 is ARENA-FREE
-# by construction: the registry's overhead model is
-# base + 0.22 GiB x max(0, (nbt - 4096)/1024) with the anchor at nbt 4096, so
-# every rung up to and including 4096 prices the SAME 5.25 GiB overhead — and
-# the fitted 5.25 was fitted at nbt 4096, i.e. our 2048 sits UNDER the anchor,
-# so the activation term is covered by a figure measured at a bigger batch.
-# SEQS 3 boots at both 1024 and 2048 (measured 2026-10-02; the SEQS=2
-# ConstraintViolationError is a SEQS property, not an MNBT one). Costs exactly
-# one recompilation: the compile RANGE is part of the cache key, so
-# FRANK_PRIMARY_CACHE_DIR pays for whichever rung is chosen once.
-# PREFETCH IS ABSENT BY LAW: expert-cache telemetry measured the prefetcher at
-# 36% precision (36,720 slabs prefetched, 13,369 served) — roughly half the
-# gather traffic was waste. Never re-add --expert-prefetch without a fresh A/B.
-# TunableOp stays OFF: CLAV_TUNABLEOP_SWEEP silently skips under expert offload
-# unless CLAV_TUNABLEOP_WITH_OFFLOAD=1, and forcing it corrupts numerics.
-# --expert-precise-memory is ON (shape E). It selects the fitted overhead
-# (5.25 GiB) over the default (7.60 GiB = fitted + compile/graph-capture
-# headroom); the 2.35 GiB difference lands in the expert arena. MEASURED
-# 2026-10-02 by a boot probe on the shape-D base (production stopped, candidate
-# booted AS the service, plan read off the engine's own log):

-#   expert cache      14.87 -> 17.22 GiB

-# boot (0.13 GiB free of 31.86 GiB, NRestarts=3 at ~6.7 min each) — that shape
-# was already at the ceiling, so precise-memory was the last 2.35 GiB over, not
-# the cause. At 200704 x 3 it fits with room; the run line also reports

-# Persistent compile cache. MEASURED 2026-10-02: the image ships NO
-# /root/.cache at all (`ls: cannot access '/root/.cache'` in a fresh
-# container), and after our boot it holds /root/.cache/vllm at 1,154,714,333 B
-# in 4,665 files plus /root/.cache/comgr at 229 MB — both inside the
-# container's ephemeral layer, so every `podman rm -f` (every deploy, restart
-# and reboot) throws them away and re-pays the build. The engine's own log
-# names the loss: `torch.compile took 181.20 s in total`, of which 'Compiling a
-# graph for compile range (1, 1024) takes 173.19 s', followed by 'saved AOT
-# compiled function to /root/.cache/vllm/torch_compile_cache/…'. Mounting a
-# host dir at /root/.cache persists the vLLM AOT/torch_compile tree AND the
-# comgr HIP-kernel JIT cache, and hides nothing (the image has no such dir).
-# PROVEN LIVE 2026-10-02, two boots of this exact shape:
-#   cold  `Compiling a graph for compile range (1, 1024) takes 179.24 s`

-# (Total time to /health is dominated by the 172.8 GiB payload load, not the

-# MEASURED 2026-10-04, 18:46:07 PDT (5.6 h into the live boot, one running

-# (QFN) flaw under prefix caching and is being actively worked; output
-# quality for this request may degrade. Mitigation:
-# --no-enable-prefix-caching".
-# MECHANISM: with prefix caching on, this fork puts QFN on
-# mamba_cache_mode 'align' (the default-for-this-arch branch in
-# config/vllm.py; 'all' is deprecated and 'none' is the no-prefix-cache
-# mode, so align is the only sound mode WITH the flag). Align mode
-# checkpoints each sequence's GDN (Gated DeltaNet) recurrent state into a
-# mamba page every block, where block = 3136 tokens (the attention block
-# size is raised to 3136 so the page sizes match exactly — the boot log's
-# "Padding mamba page size by 0.13% ..."), and RE-SEEDS the state from that
-# page whenever a request resumes from a cached prefix. The corrupt state
-# landed at the 13th boundary: 13 x 3136 = 40,768 tokens — the "~40k" mark
-# where the request's output turned repetitive/corrupted. The NaN stayed
-# in the mamba page, so every later turn of that conversation re-seeded the
-# same non-finite state for those two heads (silent: the fault-report cap
-# was already spent), while fresh short sessions looked fine.
-# RAM WAS "RULED OUT" THE SAME DAY — AND THAT WAS WRONG (RESOLVED below).
-# What the evidence actually supported: zero MCE/EDAC records is the
-# EXPECTED silence of consumer non-ECC memory (a silent flip raises no
-# machine check); an 8 GiB pattern check over 60 s covers ~0.5 % of
-# 246 GiB — no verdict on a speed setting; "4800 is the JEDEC floor on
-# 5600-rated DIMMs" is a rating, not a stability proof at four-DIMM
-# loading. Only the two-head NaN signature argument was load-bearing,
-# and the revert test outvoted it.
-# COST ACCEPTED: no prefix reuse, so each turn re-prefills the whole
-# history instead of at most 3135 tail tokens (a full 40k context costs
-# tens of seconds of TTFT per turn at this shape's prefill rate). A silently
-# corrupted conversation is worse than a slower first token.
-# RESULT (2026-10-05, later that day): THE MITIGATION DID NOT WORK. With
-# --no-enable-prefix-caching deployed and mechanically verified (zero
-# gdn_hip faults, a 40,771-token single-request boundary probe coherent),
-# live long conversations STILL degraded at ~40k on the running endpoint
-# (Frank, direct). The container serving that window logged ZERO faults
-# while the corruption reproduced, so the align-mode page re-seed is not
-# the (only) mechanism — see the runbook's RESULT note for the open
-# hypotheses (re-fed poisoned transcript vs a fault-free long-context
-# path such as fp8 KV at depth). Cost bought nothing: caching is back ON.
-# The knob stays commented for a future fork build with a fixed GDN state
-# path: set 1, redeploy, re-verify past 40,768 tokens (one conversation
-# coherent AND zero gdn_hip lines).
-# RESOLVED 2026-10-05 EVENING (Frank): IT WAS THE RAM. 4800 MT/s (in
-# effect since the 2026-10-04 17:17 boot) was marginal; 4600 MT/s (since
-# the 2026-10-05 12:21 boot) and the endpoint is clean — zero gdn_hip
-# ERROR lines, zero MCE, and the live agent session on it past 140k
-# context with no degradation. Both failure eras sit under the RAM: the
-# 2026-10-04 NaN burst (corrupted weight/activation traffic poisoning a
-# GDN state write — the guard-visible path) and the fault-free ~40k
-# degradation (silent flips in KV/expert data, which no guard covers on
-# non-ECC). CONSEQUENCE FOR THE KNOB: the OFF experiment was CONFOUNDED
-# — both arms ran on the marginal speed — so it neither proved nor
-# disproved the fork's align-mode flaw. Prefix caching stays ON (zero
-# gdn_hip lines under heavy re-send traffic since the speed drop); flip

-# 2026-10-05 (Frank): the payload moved off bartowski/MiMo-V2.6 (Q6_K) to
-# ornith-ai/Ornith-1.5-9B Q8_0 (9,786,060,384 B, LFS oid 22086870...).
-# Header-verified facts that re-price the shape: qwen35 hybrid like MiMo, but
-# 33 blocks (not 32) with full_attention_interval 4 => NINE full-attention
-# layers (MiMo had 8), 16 Q heads / 4 KV heads, k/v length 256, native window
-# 262144, dense (no expert keys), nextn_predict_layers=1 (an MTP head is IN
-# the file — capability only; no spec decode ships, same law as before).
-#
-# THE KV CONTRACT STAYS f16 K + f16 V — NO KV QUANTIZATION (Frank, 2026-10-05,
-# overruling a written q8_0-V proposal). The arithmetic that makes this hard:
-#   KV rate 9 attn layers x 4 heads x 256 x 2 B = 18 KiB/token K, same again
-#   for V at f16 => 36 KiB/token (MiMo was ~24.5 measured: one fewer
-#   full-attn layer AND one fewer KV head).
-#   Weights +1,900 MiB (9,334 vs Q6_K's 7,432). Measured free at the Q6_K
-#   4096/2048 shape was 2,279 MiB; Q8_0 at f16/f16 does not fit that shape —
-#   the deficit is made up the way Frank ordered: UBATCH FIRST (2048 -> 1024,
-#   the measured 616 MiB rung), then POOL STEPS, then measure. Guess-and-check
-#   on the live card is the accepted method for llama.cpp sizing here: boot,
-#   read nvidia-smi free, step the pool (12,288-token increments, ~432 MiB
-#   each at the 36 KiB/token rate) until the 2-3 GiB floor holds. Compute
-#   buffers allocate at graph capture during BOOT, so a failure is loud and
-#   fast, not a surprise at the first long prompt.
-#
-# Previous shape history (MiMo era, for the rollback trail): 2026-10-03 the
-# rung went Q5_K_M -> Q6_K with the pool HELD at 401,408; the freed third
-# slot funded exact f16 V first; the ~3.5 GiB still free funded the +875 MiB
-# of weights.
-#
-# 2026-10-03 (Frank): TWO streams instead of three, each one WIDE — 200,704
-# tokens per conversation, above the 200,700 the harness compacts at — and the
-# KV cache is now FULLY UNQUANTIZED (f16 K, f16 V). The two moves are the same
-# move: llama.cpp divides --ctx-size across --parallel slots, so the slot given
-# up is exactly the VRAM that pays for unquantized V. No further quantization
-# anywhere on this endpoint.
-#
-# Three measurements on this card, this runtime, price the terms:
-#   2 x 262,144, no projector: 20,190 MiB used / 4,386 free
-#     KV = 524,288 tok x 24.5 KiB = 12,800 MiB => non-KV (weights 6,557 +
-#     DeltaNet state ~25/slot + compute buffers + CUDA graphs) = 7,390 MiB
-#   3 x 196,608, projector on: 22,972 MiB used / 1,153 free
-#     KV = 14,113 MiB => non-KV WITH the vision tower = 8,859 MiB
-#   3 x 180,224, projector on: 21,684 MiB used / 2,441 free (the 2026-10-02
-#     shape) => non-KV = 8,748 MiB
-# Two slots give back one DeltaNet state (~25 MiB). Priced at f16 K+V
-# (32 KiB/token) this pool is 12,544 MiB, so the prediction is
-# 12,544 + ~8,800 = ~20.9 GiB used, ~3.1 GiB free — the band the 2026-10-02
-# shape hit, bought with precision instead of a slot. The 1024 ubatch
-# re-prices the compute buffers upward, so MEASURE after any change: if the
-# boot lands under 2 GiB free, step the pool down in 12,288-token
-# (384 MiB at this rate) increments.
-#
-# KV arithmetic: attention KV exists only in the 8 full-attention layers
-# (4 KV heads x 256 head_dim x 2 B) = 16 KiB/token for K and the same again for
-# V => 32 KiB/token, so 12,288 tokens (= 6144/slot) is one 384 MiB step — that
-# is the ladder to walk if this moves again. Two native windows (2 x 262,144)
-# are NOT reachable with full-precision V: 524,288 x 32 KiB = 16.1 GiB of KV
-# against a card with ~15.7 GiB of KV room once weights, the vision tower, the
-# DeltaNet states and the graphs are loaded. 200,704 per stream is what full
-# precision buys; q8_0 on V would buy 262,144 instead.
-#
-# The asymmetric-KV contract this endpoint was created for (Frank, 2026-10-01

-# the 35B MoE sweep, 1944 -> 2423 t/s on the Ornith 8k sweep, with decode flat

-# The logical batch is free — two independent sweeps agree that at a fixed

+# a name is real exactly when /voices/<name>/reference.wav exists, and
+# anything else is a 400 that lists the names that are.
+#
+# THE PACKS. /home/dank/voices on the host, mounted read-only at /voices. One
+# directory per voice, and a directory is a PACK only when it carries BOTH
+# required members:
+#   reference.wav     24 kHz mono PCM, 18-25 s of clean single-speaker audio,

+#                     runtime is not a saved voice.
+# plus manifest.json for provenance: source file, offsets (always past the
+# first 10 s of that file, the source-material law), engine, sha256. Packs are
+# host state and stay out of this repo; they must be world-readable because the

+# the ledger said exactly that. HALF the 27B's 34,816 B/token, which is the
+# whole reason three native windows fit. f16 would bill 26,112 MiB at this pool
+# (against a 24,123 MiB card) and dies at cudaMalloc; the 24 DeltaNet layers
+# bill a fixed recurrent state per SLOT instead of per token — the PRODUCTION
+# ledger prints "RS buffer size = 150.75 MiB (3 cells, 32 layers, 3 seqs)"
+# (~50 MiB a cell), while the SPEC-ARMED arms print 452.25 MiB, because MTP
+# depth 2 bills three seqs per slot (9 cells) — which is why pool arithmetic
+# alone under-prices the shape.

+# SPECULATIVE DECODING: OFF, MEASURED. The head is in the file and the drafter

+# pool: 4,096 B/position × 786,432 = 3,072.00 MiB, plus its compute buffers,
+# 4,830 MiB all told. Booted arms, same card, same traffic (2026-10-18):
+#   3 × 262,144  spec OFF  ub 2048 → 17,876 used / 6,249 free, decode 167.2 t/s
+#   3 × 262,144  spec ON   ub 2048 → 22,706 used / 1,419 free, decode 109.2 t/s

+#   1 × 262,144  spec ON   ub 2048 → 11,652 used / 12,473 free, decode 214.2 t/s
+# i.e. MTP is worth +28 % decode whenever the card has room, and at the 3-slot
+# pool it costs 1.3 GiB of compute buffers that ubatch 2048 refuses to give up —
+# the squeeze, not the drafter, is what halves decode. The arm that WOULD run
+# MTP at three windows is SPEC_TYPE=draft-mtp + UBATCH_SIZE=1024 (decode 213.5,
+# 3-stream 250.8 aggregate) and pays prefill −17 % and 2.7 GiB of headroom on a
+# card whose projector worst-case lands after the fit check. This endpoint's
+# load is the fleet's COMPACTION HUB (prefill-bound, ~170k in) plus 2-3
+# concurrent subagents, so the deployed arm takes the +17 % prefill
+# (2,877 vs 2,395 t/s at 106,418 tokens) and the +12 % three-stream aggregate
+# (280.2 vs 250.8) over single-stream speed, and keeps 6.2 GiB free.
