FRANK_ARCHON_MAX_SEQS 3 -> 2. At 1.8.1 the budget resolver sizes the KV cache from the cache bound (--max-model-len x --max-num-seqs), --gpu-headroom-mib and --host-pool-mib, and the shipped CLI has no KV-size flag (the --vram-weights-mib/--vram-kv-mib pair was removed at 1.3.0). The live boot ledger reads that cache at 4.20 GiB = 556,348 tokens = 2.8 sessions at 200,000, so a third full-height conversation is refused while /health answers green and the harness advertises capacity the engine cannot honour. Two slots is what the shape actually serves at the full window; a slot costs KV, never decode, and the fused TP all-reduce drops from 9 rows to 2 x (1 + spec) = 6, still inside wht6's 25-row bit-exact bound. FRANK_ARCHON_HOST_POOL_MIB back to 44928 and FRANK_ARCHON_TTM_MIN_MIB back to 150000, reverting PR #30. That raise bought cache the resolver never hands out: the two boot ledgers differ in exactly one line -- host_pool 44.47 -> 45.09 GiB -- while vram_weights (25.81 GiB) and vram_kv (4.20 GiB / 556,348 tokens, both ranks) are byte-identical, so the extra 640 MiB sat unclaimed in the host pool while the TTM floor moved out from under the preflight's arithmetic. The compute-bound cap on --host-pool-mib is unchanged either way (45,568 -> 22,222 MiB of experts either side of the 22,222 clamp). The bats seam pins the new contract: MAX_SEQS=2, pool 44,928, and the ledger floor that computes to 148,920 MiB at that pool against the 150,000 minimum.
