 - **frank-zealot resliced to two windows of exact KV (Frank's call, PR #21).**
   `--ctx-size 786432 --parallel 3` at q8_0 K+V → **`524288 / 2` at f16 K+V**, so
-  both remaining conversations keep the native 262,144 window and the
-  compaction hub reads exact K and V. Halving the pool is what funds it: the
-  f16 pair is 32,768 B/token over the 8 full-attention layers = 16,384.00 MiB,
-  while the old 786,432-position pool would have needed ~24,576 MiB of KV alone
-  on a card that leaves 24,576 addressable. Measured boot: KV **16,384.00**,
-  RS **100.50** (2 cells), compute 1,408.06 + 1,088.07, settled `nvidia-smi`
-  **21,176 used / 2,949 free**, `n_ctx_slot = 262144`, `DropInPaths` empty. The
-  doc's old "f16 needs 26,112 MiB and cannot boot" figure was the 27B's
-  34,816 B/token applied to the 9B — corrected in the runbook.
-- **Rates are floors, and that is recorded as such.** The endpoint had another
-  consumer for the whole measurement window (56 prompts on the other slot in
-  three minutes, 96 % GPU-util), so single-stream decode came back 134.1–141.5
-  (145.8/163.2 in a lighter minute) against the 3-slot record of 168.7,
-  two-stream aggregate 256.6–265.1 against ≈300 across three, and prefill
-  **3,159.5 at 106,282** beat the record's 2,877 while contended. Per-stream
-  concurrency improved (≈130 each vs 102.8); a clean re-measure needs the box
-  quiet.
+  both remaining conversations keep the native 262,144 window and the compaction
+  hub reads exact K and V. **Halving the pool is what funds exact KV** — the law
+  that came out of it is that a KV byte rate belongs to the payload it was
+  measured on: the doc's old "f16 needs 26,112 MiB and cannot boot" figure was
+  the 27B's 34,816 B/token applied to the 9B. The measured boot ledger is on
+  [[frank-zealot]] (Current shape), which is also where the 32,768 B/token
+  derivation and the seam's fit gate live.
+  - **Rates are floors, and that is recorded as such.** The measurement window
+    had another consumer on the other slot (56 prompts in three minutes, 96 %
+    GPU-util) — the exact condition the bench window exists to exclude — so every
+    rate taken that evening is recorded on [[frank-zealot]] as a **FLOOR**, not as
+    the shape's rate, with the instruction to re-measure with the box quiet before
+    a figure is carried anywhere. That is the honest shape of a number measured
+    beside live traffic.
 - **Instrument correction (fleet law).** On the PrismML fork build 10777 the raw
   `/completion` path answers **500 "The model produced output that does not
   match the expected Content-only format"** for a greedy `ignore_eos` run, so
