docs(vault): the census was lying; corrected, and the honest result is flat docs

`scripts/port-census.py` built its corpus from the new directory, so each page
under test was held by itself: every era page reported 0 orphan lines. With the
corpus excluding the file under test, each candidate holds 14-63 sole-record
lines, so no era page is padding and none was trashed.

Deletions of restatement only:
- Multi-Node Runtimes.md (-257): restated launch material owned by
  Qwen3.8 PP Deployment.md; index rows and two Related bullets repointed.
- log.md: 66 headings folded into 35 dated entries (one entry per date, newest
  first), titled headings kept as `date — Title` per the spec's wording, and 78
  lines of transient deploy chatter dropped where every fact token in the line
  is held by an owner page (preserved in .AGENTTRASH/20261019-log-transient/).
- Authentic: the 5-page split reverted (-93); the parent carries
  `okf-exempt: length` and the three stub pages stay deleted.

check-okf.py accepts `## YYYY-MM-DD — Title`; port-census.py excludes the file
under test and gained a docstring note about the trap. One-off compaction tool
moved to ~/.AGENTTRASH. Full suite: 451 tests pass, 0 OKF violations,
155 pages, 0 unresolved links.

+#
+# 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

+"""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

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

+#
+#   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

+# 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.

+#   --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

+# Candidate payload for frank-zealot: prism-ml/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-gguf at
+# **PTQ1_0** — the DENSE ternary packing (1.75 bits/weight, 5.95 GB) of the same
+# weights the live PQ2_0 endpoint serves (2.13 bits/weight, 7.21 GB). Public
+# repo: no auth header, and never a token on the command line (a Bearer token is
+# world-readable in /proc/<pid>/cmdline).
+#
+# WHY THIS ARM EXISTS. The whole argument is footprint: 5,946,648,928 B against
+# the live 7,206,168,928 B = **1,201 MiB freed on the card**. On this endpoint
+# KV bills 34,816 B/token (16 full-attention layers x 4 KV heads x 256 dim at
+# q8_0 K + q8_0 V), so that one gap is ~37,000 tokens of pool per 1,201 MiB —
+# context is exactly what the freed weight bytes buy.
+#
+# WHY IT MIGHT LOSE. The publisher's own throughput table (README, llama-bench,
+# batch 1, depth 0): PTQ1_0 wins decode only on Ada/L4 (RTX 4090 91.1 vs 81.2,
+# RTX 6000 Ada 90.4 vs 82.8, L4 32.1 vs 29.8) and LOSES on H100 (86.9 vs 113.9)
+# and A100 (54.7 vs 73.9); prompt processing "favors PQ2_0 everywhere" (A100
+# 706 vs 1328). The card text says explicitly that dense-trit unpacking costs
+# arithmetic and the pack is "slower on Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell". There is
+# NO GA102/RTX 3090 row: the Ampere statement generalizes from an A100, which is
+# instruction-bound at batch 1 with 2 TB/s of HBM, while the 3090 is the
+# bandwidth-starved member of the family (936 GB/s) — the one regime where
+# moving 17 % less weight per step can pay. That is an argument, not a
+# measurement: this script exists so the decision is made on OUR card, against
+# the PQ2_0 record (76.6 t/s single-stream decode, 1,258 t/s prefill at 35k).
+# MEASURED ON OUR CARD (2026-10-18). Frank ordered this shape at 02:36 — Q8
+# mmproj, batch 3072/ubatch 1536, two contexts — and the unit ran it as
+# production 03:14:39→03:38:57 (pid 191358, journal `type ptq1_0: 402 tensors`).
+# Its own print_timing lines: decode **48.0 / 47.6 t/s at 512 tokens** (47.9 at
+# 229, 49.0 at 451), 25–27 t/s per stream with two streams live, prefill 1,295
+# t/s at 30,637 → 943 at 97,856 → 801 at 141,365. The 1,201 MiB arrived and the
+# decode tax came with it: −37 % against the PQ2_0 record, so the Ampere warning
+# DOES generalize to GA102. Frank scratched the 27B plan at 03:33 for the 9B;
+# this payload is the 27B rollback, not a candidate.
+#
+# THE RUNTIME LOCK CARRIES OVER. Both packings are custom GGML tensor types and
+# stock llama.cpp rejects them ("It rejects PQ2_0 and PTQ1_0 as unknown types"
+# — the card), so the PrismML fork build stays mandatory. Confirm the loadability
+# against the installed binary BEFORE pointing any unit at this file.
+#
+# The vision projector is the SAME file the PQ2_0 endpoint already uses (Hub LFS

-# SERVING FACTS (docs/GUIDE.md, docs/DOCKER.md, compose/flashnext.yaml):
-# - The HTTP listener binds AFTER the full load (main.cpp: engine.start()
-#   then engine.serve()) — during load the port refuses connections, so a
-#   bare curl /health gate is honest. /health == /ping: 200 JSON while
-#   serving, 503 only while stopping (core/server/admin.cpp:385).
-# - Reasoning: --reasoning-format defaults to auto, emitting thinking in
-#   `reasoning_content` (config.cpp). Tool calls: the qwen3.8 dialect, from
-#   the chat format. Both need no parser flags.
-# - Sampling: the OpenAI endpoint accepts temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p,
-#   typical_p, presence_penalty, frequency_penalty, repetition_penalty,
-#   repeat_last_n, chat_template_kwargs, reasoning_effort,
-#   enable_thinking, preserve_thinking (core/server/oai.cpp:194-205) —
-#   models.yml's extraBody set is fully inside it. Unknown params are
-#   refused (400), which is why nothing unverified rides the wire.
-# - MTP: the official checkpoint carries the mtp.* head (3,101 tensors,
-#   mtp_num_hidden_layers=1) and the plugin probes draft depth 3 — the
-#   publisher's throughput peak for this model. Stated explicitly with
-#   --num-speculative-tokens 3.
-# - The fused TP all-reduce is declared over max-num-seqs x
-#   (1 + --num-speculative-tokens) rows; 2 x 3 = 6 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,

-# vram pair, spec 2, seqs 3, 43.6k greedy probe): decode 29.21 t/s and

-# reproduced the recorded 0.755 exactly), so the drop is a real numerics
-# 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).
-# The vram-pair translation itself is exact (1.2.0 boot ledger took
-# vram_weights 25.46 GiB / vram_kv 3.46 GiB per card byte-identical to
-# the 1.0.13 ledger at EVC 0.82). Re-test 1.2.0+ when the rotation change
-# is untangled; 1.2.0 also REMOVED --expert-vs-cache-ratio in favour of
-# the --vram-weights-mib / --vram-kv-mib pair (core/config.cpp) — this
-# file already uses the pair, which BOTH pins accept (rollback symmetry).

-# 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

-# VERDICT on the 25,600 arm (measured 2026-10-13, scripts/probe-frank-archon-kv.py):

-# pair landed inside noise of EACH OTHER, which is what made it read as a

-# The cliff that remains is between 25,600 (3,584) and 26,071 (4,379, the

-# of peonist's Qwen3.8-Flash-Next v2 checkpoint, as a podman container under

-# a root unit, driven by scripts/serve-frank-dragoon.sh. This CUTS OVER the
+# the memory figures.
-# 2026-10-05 halogen 27B-dense shape (censored base, DFlash2, 31.7 t/s):
-# rollback = revert the swap commit's trio; the 27B payload stays on disk at
-# /home/dank/models/halogen-qwen3.8-27b/.
 #
-# WHY THE RUNTIME MOVED WITH THE MODEL: the payload is .hgn — per its own
+# The .hgn format is the lock: it loads ONLY in the flash-server line, so the
-# card it "will not load in transformers, vLLM, or llama.cpp" — and the v2
+# engine moves with the payload, never ahead of it.
-# .hgn loads ONLY in the flash-server line (the old halogen engine is for
+# Image digest-pinned (a tag pull silently re-points; the digest is what was
-# the 27B p1w4d file; the v2 quickstart pins flash-server). What the move
+# qualified — 0.16.2 is the version the model card names as its quickstart pin).
-# buys (card + live probe evidence): MTP spec decode (53-57 t/s greedy,
-# 3-10x serial), ~1,640 t/s prefill at 34k, ~72% fewer thinking tokens than
-# the censored 27B (905 mean), the ABLITERATED base (refusals should NOT
-# return), IMAGE INPUT (the v2 vision tower loads beside the checkpoint —
-# red-PNG probe verified on the card; the 27B engine ignored its encoder),
-# tool calls verified, and the native 262,144 context.
-#
-# SHAPE — the knobs that are NOT free, with the arithmetic:
-#   HALOGEN_CTX=262144 is the PER-SLOT window and the per-conversation hard
-#   ceiling — a prompt over it is a 400 naming the limit, never a silent
-#   truncation. RAISED from 200192 on 2026-10-07: the harness clamps
-#   max_tokens to contextWindow − est − 4096, its chars/4 est UNDER-counts
-#   the rendered prompt by ~3 % on code/agent traffic, and compaction only
-#   fires at 85 % — so with window == engine ceiling, every request over
-#   ~146k est (65-85 % of the window) was a guaranteed 400. Measured
-#   2026-10-07: est 152,938, server 157,388, request 43,158 vs room 42,804
-#   — over by 354, margin 4,096 < the 4,450 under-count.
-#   Harness contract (models.yml): contextWindow 217088, maxTokens 45056.
-#   Compaction fires at 85 % = 184,524 est ≈ 190k measured (Frank's 180k
-#   target). Worst-case request: prompt + budget <= 217088 − 4096 + 3 %
-#   est-error ≈ 219k <= 262144 — the 45k gap between harness window and
-#   engine ceiling absorbs the estimate error with ~7x margin (robust to a
-#   10 % under-count). Compaction rides on frank-zealot: input ≈
-#   threshold − keepRecent(20k) ≈ 170k measured, inside its 200,704 slot.
-#   HALOGEN_KV_POOL_POSITIONS=524288 = KV_SLOTS(2) x CTX — the explicit
-#   form of the engine's default, so the seam test can pin the product.
-#   KV costs ~28 KiB/position (FLAGS.md) => 524,288 x 28 KiB = 14.0 GiB.
-#   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
-#   quickstart ships 2 slots WITH the head), so the second slot is
-#   concurrent capacity, not a speculation tax.
-#   Memory ledger against the box's 121.2 GiB unified (the n-gram table is
-#   mmap'd page cache beside the checkpoint, not a pinned charge — the
-#   card's own quickstart arithmetic does not bill it):
-#     weights ~62 GiB resident + KV 14.0 + arena (HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192 =>
-#     ~8 GiB per FLAGS.md arena formula 3.8+8.4*(MT/16384)) + vision ~2
-#     = ~86 GiB engine-side; HALOGEN_HOST_RESERVE_GIB=20 keeps the host
-#     honest; baseline co-tenancy (frank-zealot, ComfyUI, Caddy/observ)
-#     ~10-15. ~15 GiB margin. 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
-# ~/.omp/agent/models.yml):
-#   * SERVER-SIDE SAMPLER EXISTS NOW: HALOGEN_TEMPERATURE/TOP_P/TOP_K set
-#     the card's thinking recipe (1.0 / 0.95 / 20) as engine defaults, so
-#     an absent temperature is no longer greedy. models.yml extraBody
-#     carries the same values — consistent, not load-bearing.
-#   * HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192 is only the DEFAULT for requests that omit
-#     max_tokens; the harness sends at most its maxTokens 45056. Requests
-#     over HALOGEN_MAX_TOKENS_CAP (65536) are a 400 naming the cap. Cap and
-#     queue timeout are COUPLED (FLAGS.md table): 65536 at ~10 t/s serial
-#     worst case needs > 6550 s; 7200 honors it. Do not move one alone.
-#   * max_tokens INCLUDES thinking; a reasoning reply over a small budget
-#     returns empty content with finish_reason "length".
-#   * Prompt cache is ON by default (PROMPT_CACHE=2): a follow-up turn at
-#     100k context re-prefills ~2 s instead of ~88 s cold. No pin needed —
-#     unlike the 27B engine, auto-sizing fits this box's ledger.
-#   * Thinking lands in reasoning_content (same as the 27B engine); the
-#     v2 chat template rejects reasoning_effort outside xhigh|medium|low,
-#     so the models.yml fold (high->xhigh) still applies.
-#   * Vision: OpenAI image_url content parts only (the fleet's standard
-#     contract). >=256 px probe images or the model answers "video".
-#   * response_format json_object/json_schema unsupported in this line
-#     (no constrained decoding) — unchanged from the 27B engine.
-#   * The engine's token protocol has no auth and binds loopback INSIDE
-#     the container; only the frontend port (8731) is published. Same as
-#     before. Kernel needs CONFIG_HSA_AMD_SVM (CachyOS ships it) and

+# frank-tts-engine.env — tunables for **frank-tts-engine**, the arm A TTS
+# engine on Dankclaw (qwentts.cpp `tts-server`, container port **8880**, never a
+# fleet endpoint). Read by the Quadlet unit
+# (dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container) as its only
+# EnvironmentFile=, which is why every path below is the value the CONTAINER
+# sees. The host directories those mounts come from are named in
+# dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container and
+# scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh.
+#
+# WHAT SITS HERE AND WHAT DOES NOT. `tts-server` reads its configuration from
+# command-line flags only — it looks at no environment variable — so this file
+# is consumed by the image's entrypoint
+# (dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-start.sh), which turns each key below into
+# the matching flag. Every value has a default baked into that script, and the
+# default equals the value below: this file exists so the decided shape is
+# written down in the repo and one line can be changed without a rebuild, not
+# because the engine would otherwise fail to boot.
+#
+# THE THREAD LAW (read this before reaching for CPUQuota=, CPUAffinity=,
+# taskset or a systemd slice). There is **no `-t`/`--threads` flag** in this
+# build: src/backend.h computes the CPU thread count as
+# `std::thread::hardware_concurrency() / 2` (its own comment: GEMM shares SIMD
+# units across hyperthreads). The engine therefore sizes its pools from what the
+# kernel *reports*, not from what it is allowed to use. Pin the container to a
+# cpuset and the thread count silently changes with it — different GEMM
+# tiling, different timings, no log line saying so, and the measured numbers
+# below stop describing the process you are running. Nothing in this fleet
+# pins this container; that is a decision, not an oversight.
+#
+# THE REGISTRY LAW (why the unit has an ExecStartPost at all). Registrations live
+# in memory only, so a restart loses them, and re-registration alone does NOT warm
+# a voice — the warm pass has to synthesize something. Without it the façade
+# answers 400 for every name until somebody asks for audio. So
+# dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh (in the image at /app/warm-voices.sh)
+# runs on every start and speaks a short sentence twice per voice. The penalty it
+# removes is about 0.6 s, NOT the trial's 6.2-8.0 s: measured on the built
+# container 2026-10-18 against an empty registry, the first synthesis cost
+# 1,883 ms and the requests after it 1,226-1,283 ms. The hook runs INSIDE this
+# container — `podman exec`, from the unit's ExecStartPost — so it reads /voices
+# here and the keys at the bottom of this file are its knobs too.
+#
+# STREAMING IS NOT BUFFERED. The same seed gives audio that differs in 92.2 %
+# of samples (-41.6 dB RMS) between `response_format=pcm` (the streaming path,
+# codec chunks pushed as they decode) and `response_format=wav` (the buffered
+# path). Nothing in this stack may compare the two, cache one against the
+# other, or assume a seed pins output across `response_format`. frank-tts always
+# asks for `wav` and re-encodes to mp3 itself; the warmer below also asks for
+# `wav`, for that reason and because the streamed path would need a reader.
+#
+# THE ROUTE LIST, verbatim from tts-server at the pinned commit, so nobody
+# debugs against a route that does not exist: GET /health, GET /v1/models,
+# GET|POST /v1/audio/voices, DELETE /v1/audio/voices/{name},
+# POST /v1/audio/speech (response_format wav or pcm). Everything else is a bare
+# 404. Note two traps in that surface: `GET /v1/audio/voices` returns an empty
+# JSON object rather than the voice list at this commit (the handler builds the
+# array and never attaches it to the document), and a `POST /v1/audio/voices`
+# carrying `spk_b64` without `rvq_b64` is rejected outright — it is `wav_b64` or
+# BOTH of the pair.

+# frank-tts.env — tunables for **frank-tts**, the fleet's cloned-voice speech
+# endpoint on Dankclaw, host port **7772** (the LLM port family: 7770
+# frank-dragoon, 7771 frank-zealot, 7772 frank-tts). Read by the Quadlet unit
+# (EnvironmentFile=), which is why the paths below are CONTAINER paths.
+#
+# WHAT THIS IS. One OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio/speech façade in front of
+# whichever TTS engine wins the engine decision (dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py
+# is a single stdlib-only file in a locally built image). Consumers — omp's
+# TTS device, OpenWebUI, open-notebook — address a VOICE BY NAME
+# (voice=narrator1, or the harness' voice_id=narrator1) and never see a path:
+# a name is real exactly when /voices/<name>/reference.wav exists, and
+# anything else is a 400 that lists the names that are.
+#
+# THE PACKS. /home/dank/voices on the host, mounted read-only at /voices. One
+# directory per voice, and a directory is a PACK only when it carries BOTH
+# required members:
+#   reference.wav     24 kHz mono PCM, 18-25 s of clean single-speaker audio,
+#                     plus the 16 kHz variant some engines want;
+#   the engine artifact  the pinned backend's own speaker file (embedding /
+#                     speaker weights). REQUIRED, beside the WAV and never
+#                     replacing it — a voice that cannot be reused by another
+#                     runtime is not a saved voice.
+# plus manifest.json for provenance: source file, offsets (always past the
+# first 10 s of that file, the source-material law), engine, sha256. Packs are
+# host state and stay out of this repo; they must be world-readable because the
+# container runs as uid 10000. Who enforces what: the shim gates on
+# reference.wav because that is the only engine-agnostic term, so the pack
+# builder is what refuses to emit a pack without its engine artifact — until a
+# winning engine pins the format and this gate can name the file.
+#
+# BACKEND SWITCH. TTS_BACKEND picks the shape and nothing else changes for the
+# consumer:
+#   omni-http      forward to an OpenAI-shaped upstream, carrying the voice along
+#                  as base64 reference_audio. The engine does the inference; the
+#                  shim resolves the voice and re-encodes to mp3 when asked. The
+#                  shipped engine (frank-tts-engine) speaks a voice it has
+#                  REGISTERED on itself, from the same /home/dank/voices packs,
+#                  and warms them at boot — see [[Frank TTS Engine]] for what that
+#                  boot warm is for (a memory-only registry: without it every name
+#                  is a 400) and what it saves (~0.6 s).
+#   llama-tts-cli  run LLAMA_TTS_BIN once per request with
+#                  --tts-speaker-file <reference.wav>, nice 19 so a narration
+#                  never starves the text endpoints on this box. Needs

+#                  only if that binary takes a projector.

+# unit also joins (dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network), so

+# open-notebook.env — configuration for **open-notebook**, the fleet's podcast
+# generator on Dankclaw (UI host port **8502**, API host port **5056**). Read by
+# BOTH Quadlet units (dankclaw/open-notebook/quadlet/) as the FIRST
+# EnvironmentFile= line, which is why every path and host name below is the
+# value the CONTAINER must see.
+#
+# TWO FILES, ONE ORDER. This file is tracked; it holds knobs, not credentials.
+# The three secret keys below are declared EMPTY on purpose — the `scripts/*.env`
+# gitignore exception exists for "paths and numbers, never credentials" — and the
+# real values live in the host file the deployer seeds at
+# /home/dank/Containers/open-notebook/env (mode 600, seeded from dankclaw/.env,
+# the same convention grafana/marreta/pihole follow). Both files are handed to
+# podman in EnvironmentFile= order and the LAST one wins (verified against the
+# generated run line), so the host file overrides these blanks. Do not reorder
+# the two lines.
+#
+# WHY THE DEPLOYER REFUSES TO START THESE UNITS WITHOUT THE SECRET FILE. An empty
+# OPEN_NOTEBOOK_PASSWORD is not "unconfigured", it is **authentication off**, and
+# the episode-audio download is one of the routes the API serves without a
+# session; an empty SURREAL_PASS lets the database come up with different root
+# credentials than the app will present; an empty OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY
+# means no provider credential can be saved at all. So the guard is in
+# deploy-remote.sh (seed_open_notebook_env), not in the app's opinion.
+#
+# THE CPU-SHUTDOWN GUARD (the two knobs that matter most on this box). Defaults
+# are TTS_BATCH_SIZE=5 and OPEN_NOTEBOOK_WORKER_MAX_TASKS=5 — five parallel
+# synthesis requests from five parallel jobs. frank-tts answers each request by
+# spawning its own engine process (~8 GiB resident, 8 threads, measured in the
+# frank-tts CPU trial of 2026-10-18), so the defaults mean ~40 GiB and forty
+# threads aimed at a machine that also serves frank-dragoon and frank-zealot and
+# whose TTS engine runs on the SAME CPU. Both numbers are 1 here: one episode at
+# a time, one voice line synthesized at a time. That is a throughput choice, not
+# a correctness one — a podcast is a background job — and it is the difference
+# between a slow render and a box that stops answering the text endpoints
+# mid-sentence. Raise them only with a TTS engine that batches internally.
+#
+# THE TTS CLOCK. ESPERANTO_TTS_TIMEOUT is the worker's patience per DIALOGUE
+# LINE, not per episode: one episode is dozens of POSTs to /v1/audio/speech
+# (the app synthesises each speaker turn separately and concatenates the clips
+# with ffmpeg afterwards), and a CPU engine takes single-digit seconds for a
+# line, with the tail of a long turn well past the 300 s default. 660 sits one
+# round-trip OUTSIDE SHIM_TIMEOUT=600 in scripts/frank-tts.env — the shim's own
+# per-request ceiling — so a frank-tts give-up arrives as frank-tts's error and
+# not as open-notebook abandoning a synthesis still in flight. An abandoned
+# request does not cancel the engine process; it just leaves the episode stuck in
+# "generating" while the audio arrives.
+#
+# THE SCRIPTWRITER. ESPERANTO_LLM_TIMEOUT is the app's own default (180 s), kept
+# visible beside the TTS number because both belong to one podcast run: the
+# outline call and the transcript call are the slow text work, and frank-zealot
+# answers them well inside 180. Provider choice is made in the UI, not here —
+# see [[Open Notebook]] for the one-time credential provisioning — and it is
+# frank-zealot on purpose: script writing asks for a JSON-schema response, which
+# the OpenAI-compatible llama.cpp endpoint is known to serve, while halogen's
+# structured-output behaviour on frank-dragoon is UNVERIFIED. halogen remains
+# the unproven alternative, not the fallback.
+#
+# THE DATABASE COORDINATES. SURREAL_URL addresses the sibling container BY NAME
+# on systemd-open-notebook (container DNS is scoped to the owning network, so
+# this is the only form that works). NAMESPACE/DATABASE/USER are plain names.
+# SURREAL_PASSWORD and SURREAL_PASS are ONE value under two spellings: the app
+# reads SURREAL_PASSWORD, the `surreal` CLI reads SURREAL_PASS. Keep them equal;
+# the deployer writes both into the seeded file from a single SURREAL_PASSWORD in

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

 ## Why the GPU works here
 
-Dankclaw is an AMD Strix Halo APU (gfx1151). Standard PyTorch ROCm wheels do not ship gfx1151 kernels. So `torch.cuda.is_available()` returns `False` and ComfyUI falls back to CPU. AMD publishes a gfx1151-tagged build, and the image above is based on it. On this APU it reports `torch.cuda.is_available() = True`, device `Radeon 8060S`, capability `(11, 5)`. See [[ComfyUI ROCm and Vulkan]] for the full verification.

+# Frank TTS Engine
+
+`frank-tts-engine` is the **arm A text-to-speech engine** on Dankclaw: [qwentts.cpp](https://github.com/ServeurpersoCom/qwentts.cpp)'s resident `tts-server` HTTP process, holding the Qwen3-TTS **1.7 B base talker (Q4_K_M)** and the **12 Hz tokenizer (Q8_0)** in RAM once and synthesizing from there. It listens on container port **8880** and is **deliberately not a fleet endpoint** — the endpoint consumers address is `frank-tts` on **7772**, which resolves voice names, re-encodes to mp3 and owns the timeout budget. This page is the engine runbook; the endpoint's contract lives with its own page.
+
+**Deployed 2026-10-18.** The chain ran in the order at the bottom of this page — fetch (1.4 GiB, byte + LFS oid verified, 18 s), image build against the pinned commit, unit + network install, container-health gate, warm pass — and the live state still reads the way this page describes it: unit `active` with no drop-ins, container healthy 31 s after the build, **4.0 GiB** resident on a host that kept 17 GiB available, `3 voice(s) registered and warm` in the journal, and no published port anywhere. Two things the first real boot taught: the warm hook's registration body must reach curl through a **file**, not an argument (Troubleshooting), and `STEP 3/13 RUN useradd` is the first honest proof of the image's non-root user.
+
+**Host:** Dankclaw (`192.168.0.143`), rootless Podman, user `dank` — **Port:** 8880, **never published** — **Network:** the private `systemd-frank-tts-engine` bridge (10.89.5.0/24) and no other — **Deployer:** `frank-tts-engine` — **Consumers:** `frank-tts` (7772) and, through it, every voice request in the fleet including [[Open Notebook]]'s podcast renders.
+
+## Facts (verified 2026-10-18 against the pinned upstream commit, the Hub, and the CPU trial on this host)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Engine | `tts-server` from qwentts.cpp, pinned at commit `5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4` (`dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine`). The source is **not vendored**: the image clones that commit and its recorded `ggml` submodule, so the build needs outbound HTTPS and the `cfhash` label is what keeps an unchanged re-deploy offline |
+| Build line | `cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_CCACHE=OFF -DGGML_BACKEND_DL=OFF -DGGML_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS=OFF -DGGML_OPENMP=ON -DGGML_BLAS=OFF -DGGML_CUDA=OFF -DGGML_HIP=OFF -DGGML_VULKAN=OFF -DGGML_METAL=OFF -DGGML_SYCL=OFF -DGGML_RPC=OFF && cmake --build build -j 8` — the exact line the 2026-10-18 trial ran on this box. `GGML_BLAS=OFF` is **forced**: Dankclaw has `libopenblas.so.0` and no BLAS dev headers, so upstream's own `Dockerfile` and `buildcpu.sh` (both of which pass BLAS on) cannot be copied. No `-DGGML_NATIVE` is passed, and ggml defaults it on, so the binary is `-march=native` for the machine that built it: **build this image on the host that runs it** |
+| Image | built locally as `franksdank/frank-tts-engine:latest`, two stages from one digest-pinned base `docker.io/library/ubuntu:24.04@sha256:68ee22004a9109b44973313b02ff7b1de250f1de0f5ecb628d73f579aaff33ac` (index digest resolved 2026-10-18). Runtime stage: `libgomp1` (OpenMP is on), `curl` (the unit's `HealthCmd` runs as `/bin/sh -c`, and the warmer speaks HTTP), uid **10000**, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/app` because ggml builds shared by default and the link-time RPATH names the build tree |
+| Talker | `qwen-talker-1.7b-base-Q4_K_M.gguf`, **1 219 245 248 B**, sha256 `ea393ebaf2167ea23ce9fc18b093822851358a950d7075cd47ab4f6ce23e887d` (the Hub's LFS pointer oid) |
+| Tokenizer | `qwen-tokenizer-12hz-Q8_0.gguf`, **291 150 624 B**, sha256 `1883beeed99348fc35e23dd225e9082f93f6f8c109330a33d935baa8acdbfd94` |
+| Source of both | `https://huggingface.co/Serveurperso/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF`, fetched by `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` into `/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF`, mounted read-only at `/models`. It has to be the **base** variant: the engine refuses every voice registration unless the model reports type `base`, so on `customvoice`/`voicedesign` the cloned-voice product does not exist. A 0.6 B talker (628 905 056 B) exists and is **not** the decided artifact |
+| Memory | **5.7 GiB peak RSS** with both files resident (2026-10-18 trial). No `LimitMEMORY`/`MemoryMax`: a limit would turn a busy moment into an OOM kill in the middle of an utterance |
+| Concurrency | `--max-batch 1`: a serialised FIFO. Warm RTF on this box is 0.55–0.67 against real time 1.0, and that margin is the entire headroom a live stream has; two concurrent syntheses split the same cores and the second caller's first byte additionally waits for the first utterance to finish |
+| Network | `systemd-frank-tts-engine` (10.89.5.0/24, `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network`) and **nothing else**, with **no `PublishPort` at all**. `frank-tts` joins the same bridge and dials `http://frank-tts-engine:8880` |
+| Voices | `/home/dank/voices` mounted read-only at `/voices`, and it is the **warmer** that reads it, not the server: `tts-server` receives reference audio as base64 in a registration body and keeps its registry in memory only |
+| Health | `GET /health` → `{"status":"ok"}`, served by the HTTP thread rather than the synthesis queue, so a busy engine still reads healthy. Probed by the unit (`HealthCmd`, 30 s interval, 120 s start period) **inside the container's namespace**, because there is no published port to probe from outside |
+| Routes | `GET /health`, `GET /v1/models`, `GET|POST /v1/audio/voices`, `DELETE /v1/audio/voices/{name}`, `POST /v1/audio/speech` (`response_format` = `wav` or `pcm`; **default `pcm`**). Everything else is a bare 404. `POST /v1/audio/speech` requires `input`; unknown `voice`, missing `input` and a bad `speed` are 400s, an empty generation is a 502 |
+
+## Why this engine, and not the alternatives
+
+The criterion Frank set on 2026-10-18 was **"whatever is better for live output"**, and live output is decided by time-to-first-audio and by whether the stream stays ahead of real time — not by benchmark throughput. RTF only has to stay under 1.0 with margin; what separates the arms is first-byte latency and **spread**. Measured on this host the same day (CPU; the full A/B is the section *"Decision: arm A for live output (2026-10-18)"* in [[Local TTS and Voice Cloning]], which is the source of these numbers):
+
+| Measure | Resident `tts-server` (arm A, chosen) | Mainline per-request CLI path (arm B) |
+|---|---|---|
+| first audio byte | **86–451 ms** end to end; **94–112 ms** server-side | model load, per request |
+| warm real-time factor while streaming | **0.55–0.67** | 0.93–0.99 |
+| run-to-run spread | **±0.01** | ±0.25 |
+| HTTP surface | serves `/v1/audio/speech` itself | none — façade CLI only |
+
+The spread is the whole argument: at ±0.01 the engine finishes synthesizing 1.5–1.8× faster than the audio plays, every run; at ±0.25 some runs fall behind real time and a live listener hears the stream stall mid-sentence. The rollback path stays in the repo untouched — `TTS_BACKEND=llama-tts-cli` in `scripts/frank-tts.env` still selects the per-request CLI engine, and that file's header documents what it costs.
+
+## Three laws this service lives under
+
+**1. The registry law → the unit warms at boot.** The voice registry is **memory only**: a restart forgets every voice, and re-registering one does **not** warm it — only synthesizing does. A boot that registers nothing leaves the façade answering 400 for every name, which is why `frank-tts-engine.container` carries
+
+```
+ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh
+TimeoutStartSec=900
+```
+
+and the warm pass runs on every start including boot. What it buys is registration (mandatory) plus a measurably smaller first request — and the size of that saving is **not** the number the trial published. **Re-measured on the deployed build, 2026-10-18,** against an empty registry (register, then time the synthesis): the first request for `narrator1` cost **1 883 ms**, the second **1 283 ms**, the third **1 226 ms** — about **0.6 s** of saved silence. A ~110-word request cost **9.4 s** and then **9.8 s**, so request time tracks the audio generated, not snapshot state. The trial's **6.2–8.0 s / first audio byte 5 530 ms / later requests 0.5 ms** ladder does **not** reproduce here; the 0.5 ms figure is an internal state-restore cost that was never an end-to-end request time, and the honest claim is the ~0.6 s above. The `-` prefix is load-bearing: with `Restart=always`, a warmer that exits non-zero would restart the container and crash-loop the endpoint forever. The hook is `podman exec` rather than a host script **because this container publishes nothing** — there is no address the host could dial — and a consequence worth knowing: an exec inherits the unit's `EnvironmentFile`, so the warmer's knobs (`VOICES_DIR`, `HEALTH_WAIT`, `WARM_TEXT`, `REQUEST_TIMEOUT`) live in `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env` beside the engine's own. The deployer runs the same hook a second time so a failed warm becomes a deploy result rather than only a journal line, and so the per-voice numbers land on the console:
+
+```
+frank-tts-engine-warm: voice narrator1 cold=1402ms warm=1812ms
+frank-tts-engine-warm: 3 voice(s) registered and warm
+```
+
+**2. The thread law → nothing is ever pinned.** `tts-server` in this build has **no `-t`/`--threads` flag**: `src/backend.h` computes the CPU thread count as `std::thread::hardware_concurrency() / 2` (its comment: GEMM shares SIMD units across hyperthreads). Thread count therefore follows what the kernel *reports*, not what a cgroup *allows* — so `CPUQuota=`, `CPUAffinity=`, `taskset` or a slice silently changes the engine's GEMM tiling and its timings, with no log line. Nothing in this fleet pins this container. If a neighbour starves it, fix the neighbour.
+
+**3. Streaming is not buffered.** At the same seed, `response_format=pcm` (chunked, codec chunks pushed as they decode) and `response_format=wav` (buffered) differ in **92.2 % of samples**, −41.6 dB RMS. Nothing may compare the two paths, cache one against the other, or assume a seed pins output across `response_format`. `frank-tts` always asks for `wav`; the warmer asks for `wav`; the test seam is forbidden from pinning either.
+
+## The voice registry contract
+
+A voice becomes known to the engine through `POST /v1/audio/voices`, and only these shapes are accepted:
+
+- `{"name": …, "wav_b64": …}` — the reference clip travels as base64 WAV (the engine resamples to 24 kHz internally). **This is what the boot warmer sends.**
+- `{"name": …, "spk_b64": …, "rvq_b64": …}` — the extracted embedding plus the reference codec codes. **`spk_b64` alone is rejected** (`src/tts-server.h:480`): it is `wav_b64` or *both* of the pair.
+
+Whether a registered voice is *embedding-only* or *in-context-learning* is then decided by `ref_text`: `tools/tts-server.cpp:258` selects ICL only when **both** `ref_text` and the reference codes are present. Registering `{name, wav_b64}` with no `ref_text` therefore yields the **x-vector voice** — the shipped default (0.57–0.63 warm RTF against ICL's 0.67) and the only one this fleet can produce honestly, because the audition crops have no trustworthy transcript to put in `ref_text`. The ICL door stays open for batch work like the podcast render: a pack that wants it needs its text in the pack plus one key in the payload built by `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh`.
+
+The packs themselves are host state at `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav` (24 kHz mono PCM), alongside the `reference.spk` / `reference.rvq` extraction and a manifest. Both halves of the voice stack read that directory — `frank-tts` for its name list, the warmer for its registrations — and `tts-server` never opens it. Two naming facts, both from the source: pack names must be **lowercase**, because `tts_voice_name` lowercases every name engine-side while the façade matches the directory name exactly (the warmer refuses anything outside `[a-z0-9._-]`); and `GET /v1/audio/voices` at this commit returns an empty JSON object rather than the voice list (the handler builds the array and never attaches it to the document), so **use the façade's `/v1/voices` for "which voices exist"** and treat the engine's listing route as broken, not empty.
+
+## Status visibility
+
+The engine is scraped by **nothing in Prometheus** and has **no homepage card**, and both are shape decisions rather than gaps. It exposes no metrics endpoint; and since it publishes no port, there is no address the host's status checker (`scripts/homepage-status.py`, which dials `host:port`) or the `dankclaw_default` Prometheus container could reach. That absence is the point of the network shape, not a cost of it (see [[Container Network Namespaces]] for the netavark rule that makes a host-loopback publish useless to a peer container anyway). The pair's public signal is the endpoint in front of it: [[Frank TTS]] carries the card and is what a consumer can dial. Its up-state is visible in four places, and the runbook uses all of them:
+
+- `systemctl --user status frank-tts-engine` — the unit, including whatever the warm hook logged on the way to `active`.
+- `podman healthcheck run frank-tts-engine` — runs the unit's own `HealthCmd` against `/health` on demand and exits non-zero when the engine does not answer. This is also what `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` gates the deploy on (`wait_container_healthy`), precisely because there is no URL to gate on.
+- `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8880/health` — loopback is valid **inside** the container's namespace, which is where the address lives.
+- The journal of the warm pass: `journalctl --user -u frank-tts-engine`, whose per-voice `cold=` / `warm=` lines are the only signal that voices are actually registered — a live HTTP listener with an empty registry still looks healthy.
+
+The **façade** on 7772 is the pair's public surface and carries the probe. Note the honest limit there: a façade that answers `/health` does **not** prove the engine behind it is alive — it reports its backend and its voice list, not an upstream ping. That is exactly why the warm pass is part of the deploy and not only of the boot.
+
+## Files this service owns
+
+| Path | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `dankclaw/voiceservice/Containerfile.engine` | two-stage build of the pinned commit, proven cmake line, digest-pinned base, ships both scripts |
+| `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-start.sh` | image entrypoint (`/app/start.sh`): env → flags, refuses to boot without weights |
+| `dankclaw/voiceservice/tts-engine-warm.sh` | boot warmer (`/app/warm-voices.sh`): register from `reference.wav` (body via a temp file), speak a fixed sentence twice, report cold/warm |
+| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.container` | the unit: bridge only, no publish, env file, two read-only mounts, health probe, warm hook, `Restart=always` |
+| `dankclaw/voiceservice/quadlet/frank-tts-engine.network` | the private 10.89.5.0/24 bridge, with the subnet registry |
+| `scripts/frank-tts-engine.env` | paths and numbers only, with the thread law and the registry law in its header |
+| `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` | weight fetcher: no resume, byte count + LFS oid check, `--verify-only` |
+| `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` → `deploy_frank_tts_engine` | weights gate → build → quadlet → restart → container health → warm |
+| `tests/frank_tts_engine.bats` | the seam: generator output, entrypoint argv, warmer against a stub engine, planner and routing maps |
+
+## Deploy record (host steps, in the order they ran)
+
+Run 2026-10-18 as `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine`, then
+`--service frank-tts`. Steps 1–6 are this service and the façade; only step 7 is
+still open.
+
+1. **Fetch the weights** — `scripts/download-frank-tts-engine-qwentts.sh` (1.4 GiB, byte + sha256 verified, idempotent; `--verify-only` is what the deployer calls).
+2. **Deploy the engine** — `./scripts/deploy.sh dankclaw --service frank-tts-engine` (`--service` is the only way to name one service; `deploy-remote.sh` is the remote half and takes `<target> <git-revision> [service]...`, so never call it by hand with a bare service name). It builds the image (needs github.com once), installs the unit and the network file, gates on the container's health status, then warms.
+3. **Confirm the endpoint is alive** — `podman exec frank-tts-engine curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8880/health` → `{"status":"ok"}`, and `systemctl --user status frank-tts-engine` showing the unit `active` with the warm pass behind it.
+4. **Confirm the voices are known** — the warmer's journal lines name every pack, and once the façade is up `curl http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` is the authoritative list (the façade has exactly three routes: `/health`, `/v1/audio/voices`, `/v1/audio/speech`).
+5. **Measure the ladder instead of trusting the trial** — two identical requests for one voice back to back. The design expected 6.2-8.0 s then 0.5 ms; the deployed container gave **1,883 ms then 1,226-1,283 ms**, so the hook buys ~0.6 s and stays only for the registry reason (law 1). The retired numbers must not be quoted.
+6. **Then the façade on 7772** (its own page), after the engine answered — that order is the whole point of step 6: publishing the façade in front of a dead engine would make every consumer fail at the first voice line.
+7. **Open:** [[Open Notebook]] is still not installed, so nothing renders a podcast yet; the voice leg it waits on now exists.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Meaning | Move |
+|---|---|---|
+| Unit restarts every 10 s, journal says `cannot read /models/…` | weights missing or the mount is empty | run the fetcher; re-deploy |
+| Unit `active`, but every voice name returns 400 from the façade | the engine restarted and lost its in-memory registry, or the warm pass failed | `journalctl --user -u frank-tts-engine` for the warmer's lines; `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh` |
+| Every voice logs `registration failed (HTTP no response)`, with `/usr/bin/curl: Argument list too long` on the line above it | the hook handed the registration body to curl as one argument: the kernel caps a single argument at 131 072 bytes (`MAX_ARG_STRLEN`), and a shipped `reference.wav` base64's to about 1.27 MB | the body goes through a temp file and `--data-binary @file` (2026-10-18). Any pack over ~96 KB trips this, so no small fixture can see it — the seam ships a 300 KB pack for exactly that reason |
+| Everything is ~2× slower after a systemd tweak | a cpuset/cap pin changed `hardware_concurrency()` and the engine resized its thread pools | remove the pin (law 2) |
+| `502` from the façade with `frank-tts upstream request failed` | the façade cannot resolve or reach the engine | `podman network inspect systemd-frank-tts-engine` and `podman inspect frank-tts --format '{{json .NetworkSettings.Networks}}'` — the façade must be attached to the bridge; a `127.0.0.1:8880` or `host.containers.internal:8880` upstream in `scripts/frank-tts.env` is the old shape and cannot work |
+| A voice is missing from the list | its directory has no `reference.wav`, or the name is not lowercase | fix the pack; both are refused loudly by design |
+| `podman exec` in the deploy says `no such file or directory` for `/app/warm-voices.sh` | the image predates the warmer | re-deploy: since 2026-10-18 `build_compose_image` hashes every file the image `COPY`s, not only `Containerfile.engine`, so editing the warmer rebuilds it — see [[deployment]] |
+| The warm pass logs `registered, but the warm synthesis failed` for EVERY voice, while a hand-run `/app/warm-voices.sh` succeeds | `WARM_TEXT` arrived **with its quotes**. podman's `--env-file` does no shell parsing — it takes the literal remainder of the line — so the env-file reader got `"Warm up, one two three."` where `source` gives `Warm up, one two three.`; the quotes plus a backslash then make the synthesis body invalid JSON | the hook strips one matched pair and escapes what is left; prove the value with `podman exec frank-tts-engine env \| grep WARM_TEXT`. The seam pins both readers, because a test that only sources the env file cannot see this |
+| A `502` for `/v1/voices` where the engine answers `200` on `/health` from the same boot | the engine restarted and its in-memory registry is empty again — `/health` is model-loaded, NOT voices-registered | re-run `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`; that is the same distinction the `frank-tts` healthcheck enforces |

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

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

+- `Restart=always` on gluetun (`dankclaw/searxng/quadlet/gluetun.container:37`) so the tunnel reconnects after VPN drops.
 - When gluetun restarts, attached containers inherit the new network state; searxng may need a restart to re-resolve DNS.
+- The gluetun health-check probe cannot open ICMP sockets: it logs `listening for ICMP packets: not permitted: you can try adding NET_RAW capability to resolve this; permanently falling back to plain DNS` (journal 2026-10-18). The unit grants `NET_ADMIN` only; the fallback works, so this is expected noise, not a fault.

+# Open Notebook
+
+open-notebook ([lfnovo/open-notebook](https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook)) is the notebook layer that turns existing notes and sources into a **spoken episode**: an outline, then a dialogue transcript, then one synthesized clip per speaker turn, concatenated with ffmpeg into an MP3. In the fleet it is the consumer that closes the loop Frank's audio stack was built for — the script is written by **frank-zealot**, the voices are rendered by **frank-tts**, and nothing leaves the LAN.
+
+**It is NOT deployed.** This page documents repo-owned configuration — the Quadlet units, the env file, the deployer path, the homepage card — and the contract those files were written against. On 2026-10-18 no `open-notebook` or `open-notebook-surrealdb` container exists on Dankclaw (`podman ps -a` census, 2026-10-18), and the homepage card ships `wip: "down"` with `showLink: false`, so the card is hidden and reported `wip-down`. Re-censused 2026-10-19 and unchanged: no `*notebook*` unit in `systemctl --user list-unit-files`, nothing installed under `~/.config/containers/systemd/` by that name, no container in `podman ps` — the repo's three quadlet files have never been installed on the host. Deploying it is a deliberate next step, not a pending one.
+
+**Host:** Dankclaw (rootless Podman, user `dank`) — **Ports:** 8502 UI and 5056 API, published on the LAN, **no vhost and no Caddy route** — **Deployer:** `open-notebook` (one service, two units) — **Docs:** https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook

+| Database image | `docker.io/surrealdb/surrealdb:v2@sha256:e5d7387e3727bbe2f7cd6d869e48cd34777272258572ead37c9656b25f745723` (`open-notebook-surrealdb.container:66`) — that digest is **SurrealDB 2.7.0** (image built 2026-09-23; measured by running the digest: `surreal version`) |
+| Do NOT use | the `-single` tags (`v1-latest-single`). That variant bundles SurrealDB inside the app image and is deprecated upstream; here it would give the host a second, hidden database |
+| Ports | container 8502 (Next.js UI) + 5055 (FastAPI API) → published `0.0.0.0:8502:8502` and `0.0.0.0:5056:5055` (`open-notebook.container:83-84`). **Host 5055 is taken**: seerr publishes `127.0.0.1:5055` (`dankclaw/seerr/quadlet/seerr.container`, and `ss -ltn` on Dankclaw shows `127.0.0.1:5055` live, 2026-10-18). The API therefore leaves on 5056, which is what forces `API_URL` (below) |
+| Database port | 8000 inside its own namespace, **never published** (`open-notebook-surrealdb.container` has no `PublishPort`). Upstream publishes `127.0.0.1:8000` for debugging (`docker-compose.yml:18`); this unit does not, and the seam asserts that it stays that way |
+| Data | `open-notebook-data:/app/data` (named volume: uploads, LangGraph SQLite checkpoints, extraction caches) **plus** the interim host bind `/home/dank/media/podcasts:/app/data/podcasts` (`open-notebook.container:87-88`); database in the `open-notebook-db` named volume |

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

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

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

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

 ## *arr wiring
 
-Seerr reaches the *arr services on FrankBook-Pro (192.168.0.112, gluetun-NetNS stack inside the Mac's podman machine VM) by IP-based base URLs (`http://192.168.0.112:<port>`), configured inside Seerr's own web settings — not in env or quadlet. The `.lan` hostname variant was deliberately dropped: addn-hosts records are for fleet public-domain hosts, and IP bases match the Mac stack's verified LAN reachability. API keys live in each arr's config.xml on the Mac and are entered through Seerr's settings store.

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

+# Voice Packs
+
+A **voice pack** is the unit of identity for **frank-tts**: one directory under
+`/home/dank/voices`, named by the voice, carrying the reference audio that makes
+the name real plus the pinned engine's own speaker artifacts and a provenance
+record. `voice=narrator1` on `POST /v1/audio/speech` resolves to
+`/home/dank/voices/narrator1/reference.wav` and to nothing else — a name without
+that file is a 400 that lists the names that do exist, because a silent fallback
+voice is how a wrong-voice endpoint stays wrong for weeks.
+
+**Host:** Dankclaw (192.168.0.143) — **Pack root:** `/home/dank/voices`, host
+state that stays out of the repo, mounted read-only at `/voices` by the façade
+unit — **Builder:** `scripts/build-voice-pack.sh` with tunables in
+`scripts/voice-packs.env` — **Seam:** `tests/voice_pack_unit.bats` — **Engine:**
+arm A `qwentts.cpp`, decided in [[Local TTS and Voice Cloning]].
+
+Packs are **world-readable on purpose** (`drwxr-xr-x`, owner `dank`): the façade
+container runs as uid 10000 and reads the mount from outside its own uid map.
+
+## The required files
+
+| File | What it is | Who reads it |
+|------|------------|--------------|
+| `reference.wav` | the crop: 24 kHz mono `pcm_s16le`, **18–25 s** of clean single-speaker audio | the façade (it is the existence gate for the name) and the engine's boot warmer, which base64s it and registers the voice with no transcript |
+| `reference.spk` | the engine's x-vector: **8,192 B** = `enc_dim` 2048 × f32 | the engine, for the ICL/`--ref-spk` path |
+| `reference.rvq` | the engine's RVQ code stream: **5,456–6,864 B**, 16 codebooks × T frames packed at 11 bits = 22 B per 12.5 Hz frame | the engine, for the ICL/`--ref-rvq` path |
+| `manifest.json` | provenance: source path and sha256, crop start/end offsets, sample rate, duration, the tool and engine commit that made the artifacts, and the `voice` name | humans, and the builder itself on its second gate assertion |
+
+`qwen-codec.log` rides along with the extractor's own record of the run; the
+façade ignores anything it does not name and never deletes anything.
+
+Division of enforcement, which is deliberate and not a gap: the **façade** gates
+on `reference.wav` because that is the only engine-agnostic term (see the
+voice-pack law in `scripts/frank-tts.env`); the **builder** is what refuses to
+emit a pack without its engine artifacts; the **engine** registers a voice from
+the WAV alone because its own `POST /v1/audio/voices` refuses a lone embedding —
+it wants `wav_b64` or **both** `spk_b64` and `rvq_b64`. So the artifacts are in
+the pack to make ICL a per-voice opt-in, not to boot it.
+
+## How a pack is built
+
+```bash
+# everything except the extractor: gate, crop, probe, plan, the manifest it would write
+scripts/build-voice-pack.sh --dry-run narrator1 /home/dank/voices
+
+# the real thing, on the host that holds the engine build
+scripts/build-voice-pack.sh narrator1 /home/dank/voices
+```
+
+Crops come from `scripts/voice-packs.env` — per voice: source path, offset,
+duration, and the source's pinned sha256 — and any of them can be overridden on
+the command line (`--source`, `--offset`, `--duration`, `--sha256`, `--tool`).
+`--all` walks `VOICE_PACKS`. The builder assumes no GPU, no container, no fleet
+endpoint and no network: `ffmpeg` cuts the crop, the pinned extractor makes the
+artifacts, and both run `nice -n 19` so a build never competes with the text
+endpoints on that box.
+
+The extractor is `qwen-codec` in the `qwentts.cpp` tree at
+`VOICE_PACK_ENGINE_COMMIT` (`5916bf7c79dbb4e66fc059cdc507a79a23a28bb4`). Its
+usage text, read out of that tree and not guessed:
+
+```
+Usage: qwen-codec --model <gguf> [-i <input>] [--talker <gguf>] [--format <fmt>]
+
+Required:
+  --model <gguf>          Codec GGUF (qwen-tokenizer-12hz-*.gguf)
+
+Optional:
+  --device <name>         Compute device: CUDA0, Vulkan0, MTL0, CPU...
+                          (default: best available)
+  -i <path>               Input. WAV -> encode, .rvq -> decode
+  --talker <gguf>         Talker GGUF (Base only). Encode also extracts the speaker
+                          embedding and writes it next to the .rvq as a .spk file
+  --format <fmt>          WAV output format: wav16, wav24, wav32 (default: wav16)
+
+Output is auto-named next to input : clip.wav -> clip.rvq, clip.rvq -> clip.wav.
+```
+
+Three consequences shape the builder. **There is no `-o`**, so the pack's WAV is
+staged under its final stem and the artifacts land beside it with nothing to
+rename. **`--talker` must be a _Base_ talker** — the customvoice and voicedesign
+GGUFs carry no speaker encoder and the tool says `has no speaker encoder (Base
+only)`. **Encode truncates to the hop boundary**, so the `.rvq` size is arithmetic,
+not chance: `22 × floor(samples / 1920)` bytes, which is where the recorded
+5,456–6,864 B window comes from and why the **effective crop window is
+19.84–25 s** even though the WAV law says 18–25 s. A crop shorter than that is
+refused before the extractor runs, with the number in the message.
+
+The build is staged and published, never assembled in place: `reference.wav` is
+the file the façade reads, so it moves into position **last**, after the
+artifacts and the manifest. A failed extractor therefore leaves a pack directory
+that is not a voice. Nothing is ever deleted — an existing pack is refused unless
+`--force`, and `--force` moves the whole old directory to
+`/home/dank/voices/.AGENTTRASH/<voice>-<UTC>/` and builds fresh beside it.
+
+Measured on the shipped `narrator1` crop (2026-10-18, `--dry-run` against the
+real source): 98.739–118.636 s → `955,378 B` of 24 kHz mono `pcm_s16le`, 19.897
+s, planned `.rvq` 5,456 B — the same byte counts the trial produced by hand, and
+the extractor itself costs 1.8–2.1 s and 1.3–1.5 GiB peak per voice.
+
+## The 10-second gate
+
+Project-wide source-material invariant: **the first 10 seconds of any sample
+file used to generate voices is forbidden material.** An offset that starts
+inside it is refused with exit 1 and a message that names the invariant, before
+a directory is created:
+
+```
+ERROR: source-material invariant violated: the crop must start past the first
+10 s of the source file, and 'narrator1' asks for 4.5 s into … — nothing was
+written.
+```
+
+The same gate is then asserted **from the manifest** that was just written —
+`.crop.offset_seconds >= .invariant.forbidden_source_seconds`, plus the recorded
+sha256 against the source it claims — so a pack cannot reach disk carrying a
+forbidden crop even if the offsets in the env file are edited into nonsense.
+`10` is not a knob: `scripts/voice-packs.env` carries the offsets, the sample
+rate, the windows and the engine facts, but the forbidden region is a constant in
+the builder. `tests/voice_pack_unit.bats` pins both halves (a refusal that
+creates nothing, and one legal crop that builds the whole pack) and applies the
+invariant to every crop in the tracked pack list.
+
+## Adding a fourth voice
+
+1. Pick the source file and hash it: `sha256sum /path/to/sample.wav`. A crop
+   offset is a claim about one exact file, so the digest goes in the env with it.
+2. Find a speech-dense stretch **past 10 s**. The trial's recipe, applied once:
+   `ffmpeg -ss 60 -t 600 -i SRC -af silencedetect=noise=-35dB:d=0.6 -f null -`,
+   build the runs of non-silence, keep runs ≥ 18 s, take the longest (earliest
+   on ties), and cap at 25 s. Aim for 20–25 s: shorter than 19.84 s and the
+   `.rvq` falls under the floor.
+3. Add the four lines to `scripts/voice-packs.env` and the name to
+   `VOICE_PACKS`:
+
+   ```
+   VOICE_PACKS="narrator1 narrator2 narrator3 narrator4"
+
+   VOICE_PACK_NARRATOR4_SOURCE=/home/dank/voice-sources/audiosample4.m4b
+   VOICE_PACK_NARRATOR4_OFFSET=142.31
+   VOICE_PACK_NARRATOR4_DURATION=24
+   VOICE_PACK_NARRATOR4_SHA256=<64 hex>
+   ```
+
+   The name must be lowercase `[a-z0-9._-]`: the façade matches the directory
+   name verbatim while `tts-server` lowercases names internally, so an uppercase
+   name would be reported one way by the façade and another by the engine. The
+   builder refuses one anyway.
+4. `scripts/build-voice-pack.sh --dry-run narrator4 /home/dank/voices`, read the
+   plan, then drop `--dry-run`.
+5. `./tests/run.sh` (the pack-list invariant test covers the new row for free).
+6. Register it with the running engine. The engine's voice registry is
+   memory-only and warm-on-boot, but a restart re-decodes **every** voice (6–8 s
+   each), so adding one pack uses the hook instead:
+
+   ```bash
+   podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh
+   curl -s localhost:7772/v1/audio/voices      # the façade's list, not the engine's
+   ```
+
+   The hook walks `/voices` and registers **every** pack that has a
+   `reference.wav`, on every run — the engine replaces a name it already holds
+   (`tools/tts-server.cpp:148` at the pinned commit: *"Re-registering a name
+   replaces the previous entry."*) — then synthesizes twice per voice and logs
+   `voice <name> cold=…ms warm=…ms` to the unit's journal. The two numbers should
+   be close; see law 1 of [[Frank TTS Engine]] for what they measure. The rootless
+   unit restart — `systemctl --user restart frank-tts-engine.service` — is for when
+   the unit or its env changed, not for a new pack.
+
+## When the extractor's output size changes on an engine bump
+
+The builder treats the two artifact sizes as properties of the pinned engine, so
+an engine bump that changes them **fails the build**: `reference.spk is N B,
+expected 8192 B` or `reference.rvq is N B, expected …`. That is the failure being
+loud, not a bug. Work through it in order:
+
+1. Re-read the tool's own numbers rather than trusting this page: `qwen-codec`
+   prints `SpeakerEncoder] Loaded: enc_dim=…` and `Pipeline] Ready: hop … , …
+   codebooks @ … Hz` on every run, and the pinned tree's
+   `tools/qwen-codec.cpp` documents the packing. `enc_dim × 4` is the `.spk`;
+   `codebooks × code_bits / 8` bytes per frame × frames is the `.rvq`.
+2. Decide whether the new number is intended. A changed `enc_dim` means the old
+   `.spk` files are unreadable by the new engine, so **every** pack must be
+   rebuilt, not just the failing one.
+3. Update the four arithmetic lines in `scripts/voice-packs.env`
+   (`VOICE_PACK_SPK_BYTES`, `VOICE_PACK_RVQ_MIN_BYTES`, `VOICE_PACK_RVQ_MAX_BYTES`,
+   and `VOICE_PACK_RVQ_BYTES_PER_FRAME` if the codebook packing changed) **and**
+   `VOICE_PACK_ENGINE_COMMIT`, `VOICE_PACK_TOOL`, `VOICE_PACK_CODEC_MODEL`,
+   `VOICE_PACK_TALKER_MODEL` to the new build. An env diff that moves the sizes
+   without moving the commit is the mistake to avoid.
+4. Rebuild all three packs with `--force` (the retired directories keep the old
+   bytes readable beside their replacements until a human clears them), then
+   re-run the warm hook: `podman exec frank-tts-engine /app/warm-voices.sh`. That
+   hook registers **every** pack it finds on every run, and the engine replaces a
+   name it already holds — `tools/tts-server.cpp:148` at the pinned commit says so
+   in its own words: *"Re-registering a name replaces the previous entry."* So the
+   rebuilt `reference.wav` is what the running engine speaks afterwards, and the
+   hook's cold/warm pass is what re-snapshots it. A restart
+   (`systemctl --user restart frank-tts-engine.service`) is what an ENGINE bump
+   needs — the registry is memory-only and lives in that process — and the unit
+   runs the same hook on every start anyway, so a restart is never worse, only
+   slower.
+5. `./tests/voice_pack_unit.bats` — the stub in that seam reproduces the packing
+   law, so it needs the same arithmetic update as the env file. The seam's
+   engine-bump test is exactly this scenario with a wrong `.spk` size, and its
+   assertion — no `reference.wav`, no manifest — is the property that matters.
+
+## Host state (census 2026-10-18, read-only)
+
+- `/home/dank/voices/` holds `narrator1`, `narrator2`, `narrator3`, each with
+  `reference.wav`, a `reference16k.wav`, and a `manifest.json` **in the trial's
+  own schema** (`kind: voice-reference-pack`, a silence-scan record). They carry
+  **no** `reference.spk` / `reference.rvq`: the trial's artifacts live in its own
+  work directory (`/home/dank/voice-audition/qwentts/voices/`, and only for
+  narrator1 and narrator2). The builder's first real run is therefore a
+  migration, and it should be a `--force` run per voice so the old directories
+  are retired rather than left half-updated.
+- The three source files (`/home/blank/audiosample.mp3`,
+  `audiosample2.m4b`, `audiosample3.m4b`, digests pinned in
+  `scripts/voice-packs.env`) live on the workstation, not on Dankclaw; the
+  builder reads them from `$VOICE_PACK_SOURCE_DIR=/home/dank/voice-sources`, so
+  they have to be copied there once before a build.
+- `VOICE_PACK_TOOL` points at the trial's build tree
+  (`/home/dank/voice-audition/qwentts/qwentts.cpp/build/qwen-codec`, checked out
+  at exactly `5916bf7c`), and the two GGUFs live at
+  `/home/dank/models/Qwen3-TTS-GGUF/`, the engine slice's fetch target — that
+  path and its fetch state belong to [[Frank TTS Engine]].
+- Whether the façade (7772) and the engine (8880) are up and serving is deploy
+  state on [[Frank TTS]] / [[Frank TTS Engine]] — read it there, not from this
+  census.
+
+## Known gaps, on purpose
+
+- **No transcript in the manifest.** ICL wants a `ref_text` that matches the
+  crop, and the trial's machine transcripts came back wrong ("Demon Souls" for
+  *Dark Souls*). Transcribing on the host is not a fix, so the pack carries none
+  and the engine registers the WAV-only voice, which is what its boot warmer
+  does anyway. When ICL becomes a per-voice opt-in, the curated transcript
+  belongs in this manifest — a human-supplied field, not something the builder
+  can derive.
+- **No 16 kHz variant.** The packs the trial left behind carry
+  `reference16k.wav` for the `llama-tts-cli` rollback engine; arm A is native
+  24 kHz, so the builder emits one reference. `--force` retires the whole
+  directory including that variant, so if the rollback engine is ever revived:
+  `ffmpeg -i reference.wav -ar 16000 -c:a pcm_s16le reference16k.wav`.
+- **No loudness pass.** The trial's pipeline also measured and normalised
+  (two-pass `loudnorm`, `astats`, `ebur128`, spectrograms) to a `-16 LUFS` spec.
+  None of that is in the pack law, which asks for 24 kHz mono inside the
+  duration window, so the builder does only that; a future engine that is
+  loudness-sensitive should get the pass as an explicit, documented step.

+Promtail reached end-of-life on 2026-03-02 and Grafana Labs directs new installs to Alloy.

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

+# Authentik Outpost Reference
+
+Configuration lookup for the [[Authentik]] deployment: the live proxy-provider
+inventory behind the guarded vhosts, the provisioning rules the embedded outpost
+enforces, this fork's OAuth2 relying-party quirks, the LDAP provider objects, the
+self-serve user-settings flow, and the live database shape. What the service is,
+how it is deployed, wired and operated is [[Authentik]]; the three core
+containers are [[Authentik Processes]].
+
+## Live proxy-provider inventory
+
+Live provider inventory (read from the `authentik-postgres` container with
+read-only `SELECT`s, 2026-10-18). Nine proxy providers, all attached to outpost
+`7e39655b-58d3-4fe6-a80a-513f31051217` ("authentik Embedded Outpost", 9
+members in `authentik_outposts_outpost_providers`), all with
+`internal_host = http://caddy:8017`, all carrying the **same three flow
+UUIDs** (`default-authentication-flow`,
+`default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent`,
+`default-provider-invalidation-flow`), and each backed by an Application
+(the `slug` column below):
+
+| Provider pk | name | external_host | app slug |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | embedded-outpost | `https://www.franksdank.cloud` | caddy |
+| 2 | search-proxy | `https://search.franksdank.cloud` | search |
+| 4 | prometheus-proxy | `https://prometheus.franksdank.cloud` | prometheus |
+| 5 | romm-proxy | `https://romm.franksdank.cloud` | romm |
+| 6 | files-proxy | `https://files.franksdank.cloud` | files |
+| 7 | loki-proxy | `https://loki.franksdank.cloud/` | loki |
+| 8 | grafana-proxy | `https://grafana.franksdank.cloud/` | grafana-guard |
+| 10 | seerr-proxy | `https://seerr.franksdank.cloud/` | seerr-guard |
+| 13 | marreta-proxy | `https://marreta.franksdank.cloud` | marreta |
+
+That is exactly the Caddyfile's guarded set (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:283-423`), so
+the lockstep rule in [[Authentik]] holds today. Two corrections against the 2026-09-02 table:
+**pk 13 (`marreta-proxy`) was added** when Marreta went onto the chain, and
+**pk 3 (`hermes-proxy`) no longer exists at all** — `select … where id=3`
+returns zero rows, so it is deleted, not "dormant"; its vhost survived but is
+exempt-by-construction (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:179-191`). OAuth2 relying parties,
+not proxy providers, so the proxy outpost does not deserialize them: pk 9
+`grafana` (`grant_types = {authorization_code}`), pk 12 `Seerr OIDC`
+(`grant_types = {}` — empty, i.e. still in the state the token-endpoint rule
+below rejects), and pk 14 `Open WebUI`
+(`grant_types = {authorization_code,refresh_token}`). Trailing slashes on
+`external_host` (the runbook-recipe style) and bare origins both intercept
+correctly — the outpost matches on hostname.
+
+## Provisioning rules for proxy providers
+
+Two provisioning rules, each verified live by an outage:
+
+1. **All three flows are required.** A ProxyProvider created via raw API/ORM
+   with any of `authentication_flow`/`authorization_flow`/`invalidation_flow`
+   null wedges the embedded outpost's config fetch: the Rust side rejects the
+   whole config JSON (serde: `invalid type: null, expected a formatted UUID
+   string`), logs `Failed to fetch outpost from API, retrying in 3 seconds`
+   forever, and **everything behind the outpost dies at the next outpost
+   reload** — including hosts whose providers were fine (verified 2026-09-02
+   when three providers provisioned without any flows took down every guarded
+   vhost after a server restart). Backfill all three flows (copy from pk 1:
+   `default-authentication-flow`,
+   `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent` (the implicit-consent
+   authorization flow, `default-invalidation-flow`) and the retry loop
+   recovers on its next 3-second cycle. The silent killer: while the outpost
+   process keeps its last good in-memory config, everything works — the
+   outage only surfaces on restart/reload.
+2. **Every proxy provider needs an attached Application.** The outpost
+   resolves the post-login redirect through the provider's application; a
+   provider with no app completes the login (authentik session established)
+   but bounces to authentik's own user UI (`/if/user/#/library`) instead of
+   the app. No error is logged anywhere — the SSO "works" and the app never
+   appears. Create the Application with `provider_id` set (the UI does this
+   automatically; raw API/ORM drives must do it explicitly).
+
+## OAuth2 relying-party quirks (this fork, verified live 2026-08-31)
+
+The Grafana RP provider (`grafana`, pk 9, confidential client) was created and
+verified end-to-end via `ak shell` ORM drives. This fork's OAuth2 provider
+implementation diverges from upstream in ways that bit us; all verified live:
+
+- **Application row required.** `OAuth2Provider.objects.create()` does not
+  create the single-table-inheritance `Application` row; without it the flow
+  executor can never complete an authorize request. Create both rows.
+- **`grant_types` defaults to empty.** Until the provider's `grant_types`
+  contains `"authorization_code"` (enum value with underscore), the token
+  endpoint rejects every exchange with `invalid_request`.
+- **Token endpoint is form-encoded + Basic-auth only.** A JSON body makes
+  `parse_token_request` see no `grant_type` → `unsupported_grant_type`;
+  POST-body client secrets are not accepted — authenticate the confidential
+  client with `Authorization: Basic base64(client_id:client_secret)`.
+- **Provider resolution is by `client_id` query param** on the global
+  `/application/o/authorize/` route; per-slug authorize paths do not exist in
+  this build. Token/userinfo live at `/application/o/token/` and
+  `/application/o/userinfo/?api=1`.
+- **Property-mapping evaluator is broken → userinfo returns `sub` only.**
+  `PropertyMappingEvaluator.evaluate(*args, **kwargs)` forwards kwargs to
+  `BaseEvaluator.evaluate(expression_source)`, so the first context kwarg
+  becomes the *expression source* instead of the context; every call raises a
+  swallowed `PropertyMappingExpressionException` and the claim is skipped.
+  Scope-grant filtering has the same class of bug: `ScopeMapping` has no
+  provider FK (linkage lives in the `ProviderPropertyMapping` through model),
+  so `filter(provider=...)` always yields an empty queryset and tokens asked
+  to carry scopes get zero. Net effect: userinfo/introspection answers with
+  `{sub}` only — email/groups/entitlements claims cannot be delivered by this
+  build until the evaluator is patched or upgraded. Clients consuming this
+  provider must key identity off `sub`.
+- Scope mappings for this provider exist — `grafana-email-scope` and
+  `grafana-profile-scope` are both rows in `authentik_core_propertymapping`
+  (read-only `SELECT`, 2026-10-18) — and will start emitting claims the moment
+  the evaluator bug is fixed; no config change is needed then.
+
+## LDAP provider objects (provisioned via `ak shell` ORM)
+
+The LDAP outpost's own deployment — unit, image digest, published ports, token
+env var — is in [[Authentik]]. The objects it serves:
+
+Read from the live database (read-only `SELECT`s against the
+`authentik-postgres` container, 2026-10-18):
+
+| Object | Value |
+|---|---|
+| LDAP provider | `Jellyfin LDAP` (pk 11), base DN `dc=franksdank,dc=cloud`, `search_mode=direct`, `bind_mode=direct` |
+| Bind DN | `cn=svc-jellyfin-ldap,ou=users,dc=franksdank,dc=cloud` *(unverified 2026-10-18: base DN confirmed in the DB, the `ou=users` path was not probed — an LDAP bind needs the bind secret)* |
+| Service account | `svc-jellyfin-ldap` (user pk 8). **It is not passwordless**: its password field is a real hash, not Django's `!`-prefixed unusable marker (`starts_with(password,'!')` → `f`) — an earlier revision's "passwordless/unusable" claim is wrong, which matters because an account with a usable password can sign in through the ordinary password flow *(unverified 2026-10-18: whether anyone holds that password)* |
+| Bind token | exactly one row for pk 8, **`intent=app_password`**, non-expiring — an earlier revision recorded `intent=verification`; the live value is `app_password` |
+| RBAC role | `svc-jellyfin-ldap-search`, carrying exactly one object-level permission `authentik_providers_ldap.search_full_directory` (verified via `guardian_roleobjectpermission`) |
+| Groups | `jellyfin_users`, `jellyfin_admins` (both exist in `authentik_core_group`) |
+| Application | name `Jellyfin`, **slug `jellyfin-ldap`** (an earlier revision said slug `jellyfin`, which does not exist) |
+
+Hard-won rules (the first is now contested by the live database):
+
+- **Token intent: contested, do not trust either value blindly.** An earlier
+  revision asserted that a bind token with `intent=app_password` is rejected by
+  the flow's password stage with `Invalid password` and only
+  `intent=verification` passes. The live token for `svc-jellyfin-ldap` is
+  `app_password` (`authentik_core_token`, 2026-10-18), so either the rule is
+  wrong or the current Jellyfin bind path is not that token. Nothing observable
+  settles it today: the LDAP outpost's retained log holds only its 5-minute
+  `initialized direct binder` / `Update providers` config cycles and no bind
+  activity *(unverified 2026-10-18: no bind was performed — reproducing it
+  requires the bind secret)*. Re-verify with a real bind before changing the
+  token's intent either way.
+- **Search needs `search_full_directory`.** Without the RBAC grant the
+  outpost returns only the bind user itself — a `(memberOf=…)` filter then
+  matches zero entries and the plugin logs `Found no users matching X`.
+  The permission is object-level on the provider; grant it via an RBAC role
+  and retest.
+- `ak shell` import path for the provider model in 2026.8:
+  `from authentik.providers.ldap.models import LDAPProvider`.
+  *(unverified 2026-10-18: importing it outside a configured Django shell fails
+  with `ImproperlyConfigured`, and no `ak shell` was driven against the live
+  auth service for this check)*
+
+## Self-serve user-settings flow (password change)
+
+Users change their own account details through the `default-user-settings-flow`
+(`https://auth.franksdank.cloud/if/flow/default-user-settings-flow/`) — the
+target of the homepage footer's "account" link. It is a `stage_configuration`
+designated flow, so it renders every bound `ConfigurableStage` for the logged-in
+user.
+
+Stages, in execution order (the `FlowStageBinding.order` field, not the M2M
+insertion order):
+
+| order | stage | type | what it does |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 20 | `default-user-settings` | `PromptStage` | name / email / locale **+ password** |
+| 100 | `default-user-settings-write` | `UserWriteStage` | writes the prompt data to the user |
+
+**Password change is a prompt field, not a stage.** The `UserWriteStage`
+writes whatever the preceding `PromptStage` collected: for the key `password`
+it calls `user.set_password(value)` (`stages/user_write/stage.py`). So the fix
+is a `password` field on the `default-user-settings` prompt
+(`field_key=password`, `type=password`, `required=False`, order 204) — NOT a
+`PasswordStage`. A `PasswordStage` is an *authentication* stage: its
+`validate_password` runs `authenticate()` against the backends to check the
+*current* password; it never sets a new one. (A `PasswordStage` was added on
+2026-09-25 and removed the same day for exactly this reason.)
+
+Two ORM gotchas: `Flow.stages.add()` fails on this through model
+(`Can't bulk create a multi-table inherited model` — `FlowStageBinding` is
+MTI), so create the `FlowStageBinding` row directly with an explicit `order`;
+and a prompt field is a `Prompt` row linked through `PromptStageField`
+(`prompt_stage` + `prompt`; the order comes from `Prompt.order`).
+
+**A blank password must not set an empty password.** `set_password("")` would
+make the account log in with no password, so a validation policy
+(`default-user-settings-no-empty-password`, bound to the prompt via
+`PromptStageValidationPolicy`) denies the form when `prompt_data["password"]`
+is `""` and allows it when set. Verified with the `PolicyEvaluator`
+(empty → deny, set → allow, absent → allow) and end-to-end by driving
+`UserWriteStageView.update_user` on a throwaway user (new password valid, old
+invalid).
+
+## Live database shape
+
+For live DB truth prefer the postgres container, and it works without any
+credential — the local socket is trusted, so a read-only audit is just
+`podman exec -i authentik-postgres psql -U authentik -d authentik -At -f -`
+with SQL on stdin (quoting SQL through ssh+zsh otherwise fights you). Verify
+before guessing: 2026.x renamed both tables and columns, and the models are
+MTI all the way down — `authentik_core_provider` holds `id`, `name` and the
+three `*_flow_id` columns; the proxy table is
+`authentik_providers_proxy_proxyprovider` (doubled `proxy`) and its PK column
+really is **`oauth2provider_ptr_id`** (proxy providers inherit the OAuth2
+table in 2026.8), the LDAP table is
+`authentik_providers_ldap_ldapprovider` with PK `provider_ptr_id`;
+`authentik_core_application` attaches to a provider through `provider_id`
+(its PK is `policybindingmodel_ptr_id`, not `id`), and `authentik_outposts_outpost`
+is keyed by `uuid`. So `Provider.objects.filter(type=…)` raising `FieldError`
+is the same story from the ORM side: `type` lives in the subclass tables.
+Never select secret columns (`client_secret`, `key`, `password`) into a log.

+# Authentik Processes
+
+The three core containers of the [[Authentik]] stack on Dankclaw. The two
+outpost units are not covered here — they live on [[Authentik]] and
+[[Authentik Outpost Reference]]. Server and worker run the same image; the
+`command` selects the role (`server` / `worker`). Data persists under
+`/home/dank/Containers/authentik/` as bind mounts (repo policy — no named
+volumes), moved from `/home/dank/authentik/` in the 2026-09-01 quadlet
+standardization; the retired stubs this page replaces recorded the pre-move
+paths `/home/dank/authentik/data` (server and worker) and
+`/home/dank/authentik/postgres` (database).
+
+## authentik-postgres
+
+The PostgreSQL 16 database for Authentik — the only stateful store in the stack
+(users, flows, sessions, events). Sessions, caching, and WebSockets moved to
+PostgreSQL in 2025.10 (Redis removed).
+
+- **Image:** `docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine`
+- **Data:** `/home/dank/Containers/authentik/postgres` (bind mount; no named
+  volumes)
+- **Health:** `pg_isready -d authentik -U authentik`
+- **Retired wording:** the stub called this a "Compose service … in
+  `dankclaw/compose.yaml`"; the compose stack is gone and the unit is a quadlet.
+- The side-by-side with `gitea-postgres` (network, published ports, secret
+  source, boot persistence) is owned by [[Postgres]].
+
+## authentik-server
+
+The Authentik server — the core, the admin API, and the embedded Caddy outpost.
+It also serves the login page at `https://auth.franksdank.cloud`.
+
+- **Unit:** `dankclaw/authentik/quadlet/authentik-server.container`
+  (`authentik-server.service`)
+- **Image:** `ghcr.io/goauthentik/server:2026.8.3` (`command: server`)
+- **Port:** `9000` (published) — the outpost, the admin API and the login UI all
+  live here
+- **Data:** `/home/dank/Containers/authentik/data` (bind mount, shared with the
+  worker)
+- **Health:** recorded by the retired stub as
+  `http://localhost:9000/-/health/`; superseded — [[Authentik]] → Operations
+  owns the live probe.
+- **Retired wording:** the stub described "the Caddy `forward_auth` vhosts"
+  proxying here; the chain Caddy actually runs is [[Authentik]] → Caddy
+  integration.
+
+## authentik-worker
+
+The Authentik worker — background tasks: event processing, provider
+synchronization, scheduled flows, and certificate renewal.
+

-1. **All three flows are required.** A ProxyProvider created via raw API/ORM
-   with any of `authentication_flow`/`authorization_flow`/`invalidation_flow`
-   null wedges the embedded outpost's config fetch: the Rust side rejects the
-   whole config JSON (serde: `invalid type: null, expected a formatted UUID
-   string`), logs `Failed to fetch outpost from API, retrying in 3 seconds`
-   forever, and **everything behind the outpost dies at the next outpost
-   reload** — including hosts whose providers were fine (verified 2026-09-02
-   when three providers provisioned without any flows took down every guarded
-   vhost after a server restart). Backfill all three flows (copy from pk 1:
-   `default-authentication-flow`,
-   `default-provider-authorization-implicit-consent` (the implicit-consent
-   authorization flow, `default-invalidation-flow`) and the retry loop
-   recovers on its next 3-second cycle. The silent killer: while the outpost
-   process keeps its last good in-memory config, everything works — the
-   outage only surfaces on restart/reload.
-2. **Every proxy provider needs an attached Application.** The outpost
-   resolves the post-login redirect through the provider's application; a
-   provider with no app completes the login (authentik session established)
-   but bounces to authentik's own user UI (`/if/user/#/library`) instead of
-   the app. No error is logged anywhere — the SSO "works" and the app never
-   appears. Create the Application with `provider_id` set (the UI does this
-   automatically; raw API/ORM drives must do it explicitly).
-
-
-## OAuth2 relying-party quirks (this fork, verified live 2026-08-31)
-
-The Grafana RP provider (`grafana`, pk 9, confidential client) was created and
-verified end-to-end via `ak shell` ORM drives. This fork's OAuth2 provider
-implementation diverges from upstream in ways that bit us; all verified live:
-
-- **Application row required.** `OAuth2Provider.objects.create()` does not
-  create the single-table-inheritance `Application` row; without it the flow
-  executor can never complete an authorize request. Create both rows.
-- **`grant_types` defaults to empty.** Until the provider's `grant_types`
-  contains `"authorization_code"` (enum value with underscore), the token
-  endpoint rejects every exchange with `invalid_request`.
-- **Token endpoint is form-encoded + Basic-auth only.** A JSON body makes
-  `parse_token_request` see no `grant_type` → `unsupported_grant_type`;
-  POST-body client secrets are not accepted — authenticate the confidential
-  client with `Authorization: Basic base64(client_id:client_secret)`.
-- **Provider resolution is by `client_id` query param** on the global
-  `/application/o/authorize/` route; per-slug authorize paths do not exist in
-  this build. Token/userinfo live at `/application/o/token/` and
-  `/application/o/userinfo/?api=1`.
-- **Property-mapping evaluator is broken → userinfo returns `sub` only.**
-  `PropertyMappingEvaluator.evaluate(*args, **kwargs)` forwards kwargs to
-  `BaseEvaluator.evaluate(expression_source)`, so the first context kwarg
-  becomes the *expression source* instead of the context; every call raises a
-  swallowed `PropertyMappingExpressionException` and the claim is skipped.
-  Scope-grant filtering has the same class of bug: `ScopeMapping` has no
-  provider FK (linkage lives in the `ProviderPropertyMapping` through model),
-  so `filter(provider=...)` always yields an empty queryset and tokens asked
-  to carry scopes get zero. Net effect: userinfo/introspection answers with
-  `{sub}` only — email/groups/entitlements claims cannot be delivered by this
-  build until the evaluator is patched or upgraded. Clients consuming this
-  provider must key identity off `sub`.
-- Scope mappings for this provider exist (`grafana-email-scope`,
-  `grafana-profile-scope`, Python-syntax expressions) and will start emitting
-  claims the moment the evaluator bug is fixed — no config change needed then.

-- **Search needs `search_full_directory`.** Without the RBAC grant the
-  outpost returns only the bind user itself — a `(memberOf=…)` filter then
-  matches zero entries and the plugin logs `Found no users matching X`.
-  The permission is object-level on the provider; grant it via an RBAC role

Do not put a `$2a$14$` prefix in the template: it would render a double-prefixed, invalid hash (2026-08-22 incident — every basicauth vhost returned 401 for every password). `tests/deployment_flow.bats` pins the render contract.
+After rendering, the line reads `dankuser <hash>` (one complete hash) — `tests/deployment_flow.bats:96-99` pins the `dankuser` name and the single-hash form, and `tests/caddyfile.bats:75` pins the bare `dankuser REPLACE_WITH_HASH` template. Do not put a `$2a$14$` prefix in the template: it would render a double-prefixed, invalid hash (2026-08-22 incident — every basicauth vhost returned 401 for every password; `tests/caddyfile.bats:67-72` forbids the prefix). `tests/deployment_flow.bats` pins the render contract.
 
-The homepage (and SearXNG, Hermes, Prometheus, RomM, Copyparty) use `forward_auth` (Authentik SSO) rather than basicauth; see [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]]. The basicauth hash above is still rendered for the vhosts that keep it (Grafana, Pi-hole).
+Everything else authenticates, not basicauth. The guarded set — `www.` (homepage), `search.`, `grafana.`, `prometheus.`, `loki.`, `seerr.`, `marreta.`, `romm.`, `files.` — proxies **all** traffic to `anubis:8923`, which verifies the client and forwards it back to Caddy's internal listener `http://:8016`; Authentik's proxy-provider mode serves the login inline (this build exposes **no** `forward_auth` endpoint) and forwards authenticated traffic to `http://:8017`, where the request is routed straight to its app (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:14-24,283-423`). The exempt-by-construction set never enters that chain: `auth.` (the IdP itself), `ai.` and `gitea.` (own logins), `hermes.` and `hermesadmin.` (app-enforced passwords), `pihole.` (the basicauth edge above), and the media/*arr vhosts. Grafana left basicauth on 2026-09-01 and is an OAuth2 relying party against Authentik (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:122-132`). See [[Homepage]] and [[Authentik]].

The store also still holds leaf certificates for names the Caddyfile no longer defines — `sonarr.`, `chat.`, `comfyui.`, `ntfy.`, `jellyfin.` (`.franksdank.cloud`) each have a directory there (host `ls`, 2026-10-18) — retired vhosts leave certificates behind, which is harmless but is the record that those names once existed.
 
 ## Gotchas
 
-- A bare compose container is **not** boot-persistent: after the 2026-08-26 reboot Caddy stayed down for hours because `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive shutdown's explicit stop. It now runs only from its quadlet unit — do not re-add it to `compose.yaml`.
+- A bare compose container is **not** boot-persistent: after the 2026-08-26 reboot Caddy stayed down for hours because `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive shutdown's explicit stop. It now runs only from its quadlet unit, and the repo has no `dankclaw/compose.yaml` left to re-add it to (`ls`, 2026-10-18).
 - `admin off` disables the config file watcher: rendered changes then sit on disk while Caddy serves its stale in-memory config until the container is recreated, and nothing logs an error (2026-08-22: a broken basicauth hash survived several deploys this way). `tests/caddyfile.bats` forbids `admin off`.
 - The basicauth template must stay a bare `REPLACE_WITH_HASH` token (no `$2a$14$` prefix) — the rendered value is the complete hash. A double prefix silently rejects every password with 401; no Caddy error is logged.
-- A new vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]].
+- A public vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]]. The deliberate exception is an **internal-only** name: `hermes.franksdank.cloud` and `hermesadmin.franksdank.cloud` are in `addn-hosts` and the Caddyfile but have no public record, which is what keeps them LAN-only — DNS-01 issuance needs no public A record (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:173-179`).
-- The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]].
+- The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]]. *(unverified 2026-10-18: hairpin behaviour is only observable from a WAN-side client; nothing on the LAN or in this repo can prove it)*
 - Caddy serves HTTPS on 443 and HTTP on 80 (redirects). The router needs no 80/443 port forward for LAN use.
 - `transport http {versions h2c 1.1}` on a vhost makes Caddy send an h2c
   upgrade preface; .NET/Kestrel backends (Jellyfin) reject it and Caddy turns
   the failure into a 502 while the same port answers 200 over plain HTTP/1.1.
-  Match the transport to what the backend speaks: Jellyfin = default HTTP/1.1,
+  Match the transport to what the backend speaks: Jellyfin = default HTTP/1.1
