The 2 GiB/card that \`rocm-smi\` shows free is not idle: the engine's budget table calls it driver context + the 896 MiB activation arena + 96 MiB headroom, and says the rest is `throughput on the floor`. Its own settle line is the number that matters — `card 0 settled at 2.01 GiB free against 209.19 MiB (the 96.00 MiB --gpu-headroom-mib and 113.19 MiB kept for the static region)` — so 1,849 MiB above the ENGINE's floor is claimable and the real ceiling is 30,969 MiB, not the 29,120 my 1 GiB reserve invented on 2026-10-11. Shipped pair 25600/5120 = 30,720: +1,600 MiB of slab, ~458 MiB above the floor. The slab is already saturated at 24,000 (mover took all of it, 451 KiB slack), so this is the only direction left — KV is at its 3-slot floor (5,063 needed of 5,120). Named prediction, because today's two points say the slab is a THRESHOLD and not a slope (22,208 -> 3,397 t/s, 24,000 -> 3,290 t/s at 43.5k single-stream): this arm buys ~1,600 resident expert slots and ~0 prefill. The point that moves prefill is 26,071 (2026-10-11: 4,379 t/s), fundable only at two slots. Prefill moving > +-3 % here falsifies the threshold reading. Seam: the ceiling gate now derives from the engine's budget table (30,969) and is the single owner of the pair arithmetic; the duplicate I put in the shape test is removed.
Server App Configs
The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.
2026-08-22: the former
vllmScriptsrepository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Deployment
See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md
and serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run
./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after committing changes. It
plans and deploys only the changed services. Use --service NAME for an
explicit single-service retry; inference is restarted only when its own files
(or the shared chat template) changed.
Knowledge Base
The serverAppConfigs-docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at
serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at
serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/index.md.
Testing
Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See
serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
