Frank a5fe045b58 docs(vault): one fact, one owner — repair the doubled pages, single-source the facts
Structural repair:
- 13 pages were the same document twice (each exactly 2x its HEAD size),
  a second frontmatter block whose closing fence had been glued onto a body
  line by a frontmatter rewrite that re-read its own output. Un-doubled by
  cutting at the second frontmatter and keeping the copy whose body is a
  superset; the orphan census reports 0 lost tokens against HEAD.
- log.md: one entry per date, bare `## YYYY-MM-DD` headings, newest first —
  66 dated headings merged into 34, titles demoted to bold leads, every
  content line verified present. The file had been descending at the head
  and ascending at the tail.

Ownership moves:
- New `LLM/frank-medium.md` is the locator for the retired Dankserver
  endpoint: era windows quoted from each era page's own banner, no numbers
  restated, and the two unresolved date conflicts recorded instead of
  silently resolved. `frank-archon.md` links to it instead of restating the
  pre-rename window.
- The four Pipeline-Parallelism stubs (frontmatter only, no body) are gone;
  `Multi-Node Runtimes.md` owns runtime construction, launch, mixed-vendor
  verdicts and cross-split spec decode, and the four links that pointed at
  the stubs were repointed at it or at the drafter page.
- Authentik's three stub pages fold into `Authentik.md`, with the process
  detail and the outpost reference split out so the parent stays under the
  length hint.

Verified corrections (host census + live probe, 2026-10-19):
- The MXFP4 checkpoint two pages called the "on-disk rollback" is gone:
  /home/dank/models/ holds StillDeadcode, rad and tpl.jinja. Stated once, on
  the era page that owns that payload; the swap page now links to it.
- frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4: the 4.24/7 accept rate belongs to the DFlash2
  arm measured on the FP8 target, not to the MXFP4 era; the 3-family soak run
  census is kept once (155 requests) instead of twice (~120 and 155).
- Fleet shapes re-confirmed against the live endpoints before touching any
  page: 3x200000 fp8 KV, 2x200704, 2x262144.

Index rows are regenerated, not hand-carved. Net -1,849 vault lines.

frank-medium (retired) — the Dankserver endpoint before frank-archon

frank-medium was the LLM service on Dankserver port 7770. It is not a live endpoint: the same port is frank-archon today, and frank-archon owns every shape served from 2026-09-26 onward, including the frank-medium → frank-archon name cutover dated 2026-10-10 in AGENTS.md. This page owns only the locator — which era page holds which payload's evidence — and carries no measurements: every number stays in the era page that measured it.

Eras

Windows are quoted from each era page's own banner; no date here is derived.

Window Runtime Payload Shape Page Rollback
2026-09-15 → 2026-09-16 llama.cpp, ROCmFPX fork pinned at commit 36e9acd Qwen3.8-27B-Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT.gguf (custom tensor type 103) single card; the fork is the only loader frank-medium-rocmfpx re-fetch the GGUF, rebuild the fork

[[frank-medium-batch-ubatch]] is not an era: it is the batch-versus-ubatch sweep run on the layer-split pair at its deployed shape, and its numbers belong to that campaign. [[frank-medium-model-swap]] is likewise a campaign ledger — the record of the 2026-09-20 swap procedure — while the procedure itself is owned by Model Swap and Rollback.

Laws

None restated. Each era page carries its own laws and links them to the technique page that owns the mechanism (PCIe Link and Atomics, Llama Cpp Multi-Device Splits, DFlash DSpark Speculative Decoding, Llama Cpp Serving Sizing, Dual-R9700-Cooperation).

Open questions

Two date claims in the era pages do not reconcile, and both are left standing rather than silently corrected:

  • frank-medium-rocmfpx.md banner says the MXFP4 stack replaced that era and, in the next sentence, names frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2 as the active successor. The MXFP4 replica era and the llama layer-split era both open on 2026-09-16, so which one directly followed the ROCmFPX fork cannot be settled from the repo.
  • frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4.md dates its own retired era to 2026-10-10, while frank-archon's Eras table opens on 2026-09-26. The gap is either an unrecorded fortnight on that endpoint or a stale banner; nothing else in the repo covers 2026-09-26 → 10-10 for port 7770.

Files

No repo files own this endpoint: its units, env and serve scripts were renamed to frank-archon on 2026-10-10 and are owned by frank-archon. scripts/old/ holds retired serve scripts from these eras as reference only.
