Frank 219a097b39 docs(vault): one page per endpoint, forever -- 45 era pages fold into three
Every payload swap a live endpoint has ever run is now one row in that
endpoint's Eras table, with its rollback path in the same row. No per-attempt
page, no per-swap ledger, nowhere else.

- Added: LLM/frank-archon.md (radiance, 2x R9700 TP=2), LLM/frank-dragoon.md
  (halogen flash-server, 19 eras), LLM/frank-zealot.md (llama.cpp PrismML fork
  on the 3090). Each carries Current shape, Eras, Laws, wire contract, files.
- Deleted: 45 per-payload runbooks -- the frank-dragoon line (11 including the
  pre-name halogen/kingjones/kairic/CIRU/eemin/agentionai/dflash2 pages and the
  benchmark page), the frank-zealot line (llama.cpp/vLLM/ik_llama/SGLang eras),
  the frank-archon line (vLLM/FreeToken/R9V/llama.cpp/radiance eras), plus
  frank-medium, frank-npu and the ubatch/PCIe one-offs that owned nothing.
- Rewired: every wikilink and markdown-path reference to a folded page points
  at the endpoint page instead; the three Research see-also lists and the
  ubatch sweep's runbook link included. No anchored links existed in the set.
- Regenerated both index pages as pure locators -- one row, one clause, no
  numbers -- so the docs_completeness locator law holds for all 153 pages.

tests/docs_completeness.bats green: index links every page, no unresolved
links. The pages moved to .AGENTTRASH/20261018-doc-dedupe/LLM/ (gitignored,
and git history holds every byte).

vLLM Index

RETIRED (2026-08-18). The vLLM service on Dankclaw was replaced by the CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp runtime (v3). These pages are historical reference. See frank-dragoon.
