Frank's order: 4 slots, a 700k pool, round UP if the resolver cannot land it exactly. The cache target is MAX_SEQS x MAX_MODEL_LEN, so the demand is 800,000 fp8 tokens; the resolver funds ~91-93 % of demand (three boots of evidence on the endpoint page), which clears 700k, and the VRAM has to come from the expert plane -- which has to go somewhere, so HOST_POOL_MIB moves with it. expert_vram_floor (core/place/planner.cpp:100-104) is exactly plane + 2 units - host_room, and the live boot ledger pins that plane at 67.60 GiB a rank (23.73 GiB floor at 44,928 of room), so 49,152 drops the floor to 19.61 GiB and leaves the cache ~6.9 GiB: enough for the whole target, with the leftover returned to the experts. Costs, both real: pinned host RAM 87.75 -> 96.0 GiB (the pool is pinned once per rank) and ~3.2 GiB a card of expert residency, read over the x8 Gen5 link when the router picks a host-resident expert. The boot ledger's vram_kv line is the referee; if it comes back under 700,000 tokens HOST_POOL_MIB goes up 1024 and this redeploys. TTM_MIN_MIB 150,000 -> 162,000 for the new pin ledger (2 x pool + PLE 48,824 + prefix 8,192 + MNBT 2,048 + the auto checkpoint store, now 40 slots of 112 MiB = 161,848 MiB), and the bats ledger guard now counts the checkpoint store because it grows with the slot count. The two env-value assertions in that seam are bumped with the values they guard.

AI Disclosures:
- Slop rating: 2/5 - Actively using, actively de-slopping, repository mostly human owned, lacks formal process.
- Completeness: Unfinished, planning planned, no plan yet
- Datacenter model/spend: Less than $20 of Deepseek 4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash
- Local model: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next
slop rating of 2 or lower indicates human reading is a worthwhile exercise, and that Frank has read the code and knows the architecture.
slop rating of 2 indicates that while this project is human owned, no human contribution process exists and/or release is agentically driven.
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.
