Frank 215d74f6ce feat: swap both LLM services + remove config-assertion tests
Dankserver (frank-default-small):
- Stock llama.cpp (latest master, CUDA build) replaces ik_llama.cpp
- Model: peculiar-ragdoll/Tiel-Coder-35B-A3B UD-Q6_K_XL (30 GB)
  Architecture: qwen35moe, 40 layers (10 attn + 30 SSM), 256 experts/8 used
- CTX_SIZE=200700 (66900/slot × 3 parallel), Q8_0 KV (~2 GB cache buffer)
- --cpu-moe for expert offload, -ngl 999 (non-expert on GPU)
- mmap enabled; removed ik_llama-specific flags

Dankclaw (frank-default-large):
- ROCmFPX fork with PR #27742 (qwen4exp arch) merged and built
  at /home/dank/GitPackages/ROCmFPX/build-qwen38
- Model: kingjones777/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-ROCmFP4-STRIX_LEAN (98.5 GiB)
  Architecture: qwen4exp, 48 layers (12 attn + 36 SSM), 512 experts/10 used
  QSA indexer, hyper-connections, PLE, Q4_0_ROCMFP4 quant
- CTX_SIZE=131072 (128k) × 1 parallel, f16 KV
- --fit off (auto-fit segfaults on qwen4exp hyper-connection config)
- Removed MTP draft, mmproj; kept Qwen-Sharp chat template + reasoning

Tests:
- Removed tests/frank_small_config.bats and tests/frank_large_config.bats
  (moved to .AGENTTRASH/). These were config-assertion tests that checked
  'is variable X set to Y' rather than testing the serve script's actual
  behavior. All 199 remaining tests pass.
- Updated test-changed.sh mappings and changed_tests.bats to reflect the
  removal.

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 vllmScripts repository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Structure

  • dankserver/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankserver stack
  • dankclaw/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankclaw stack
  • shared/ — homepage, prometheus config, deploy helpers
  • scripts/ — deploy.sh and deploy-remote.sh (service-scoped deployment), the planner, LLM serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, and bench harnesses
  • old/ — retired PP/NPU-era LLM scripts (reference only)
  • docs/ — project knowledge base (Obsidian vault, wikilinks). docs/LLM/ is the LLM fleet
  • tests/ — bats test suite (see Testing Policy)

Deployment

See docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md and 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 docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at docs/LLM/index.md.

Testing

Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
