description: "The RETIRED frank-zealot runbook (2026-09-16 → 09-17) — mainline llama.cpp on Dankclaw's RTX 3090 serving ISTA-DASLab Qwen3.8-27B-GSQ-RCO at IQ3_S with the model's own in-file MTP head and the BF16 vision projector: identity, KV arithmetic, deployed flags, the MTP contract, the client contract, and what to check when it misbehaves."

**RETIRED 2026-09-16 → 2026-09-17** (AGENTS.md Runbook Index); superseded by
[[frank-zealot-gemma4-12b]], and :7771 today runs
[[frank-zealot-llama-prism-bonsai2-pq20]] (llama.cpp PrismML fork build 10754,
`Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-PQ2_0.gguf`). The payload is **not** a rollback target any
more: the 2026-10-18 census of `/home/dank/models/` has no GSQ-RCO directory, so
restoring this shape means re-downloading from ISTA-DASLab.
