Replace the FreeToken PR587 endpoint (single-GPU: its TP=2 dies in the pynccl.cu ROCm JIT) with the radiance engine on both R9700s, TP=2 via libr4d's fused one-shot all-reduce. Official Qwen/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-FP8 payload at native block-FP8 precision: - scripts/build-frank-primary-rad.sh: staging (quantization_config drop = plugin SELECTION law) -> checkpoint reshape -> rad-convert with ONE --quant rule (PLE rtn fixed-scale); plan-only first. - scripts/stack-qwen38-official-fp8.py: the two value-preserving reshapes (experts byte-stacked into the plugin's stacked layout; PLE's 128 scaleless fp8 shards decoded to one bf16 shard with the checkpoint's own scale; the rtn rule re-encodes at that same scale - codes round-trip exactly and land the one-element scale plane the plugin declares). - scripts/hfget.sh + verified download (131/131 shards sha256-match). - froggeric v22.5 chat template vendored (--override-chat-template). - serve script (pinned ledger: 2x40 GiB pools + 47.7 GiB PLE + prefix host), TTM preflight fixed for kernels with pages_limit only (no pages_max - an absent knob is skipped, not read as zero); pages_limit raised to 52,428,800 pages = 200 GiB on the host pre-cutover. - root unit, relinked; deployer gates image digest + .rad floor 158,000 MiB + health; prometheus re-adds the /metrics job. - rollback: tag frank-primary-freetoken-pr587-20261005 (FreeToken trio + Dockerfile); payload + image stay on disk until the window closes. deploy-remote.sh also carries the parallel session's frank-small payload gates (swift15) - committed here per Frank's direction to commit the tree.
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.
