Frank 7c4dbebe24 frank-dragoon: lower the context to 200704 (ctx and pool together)
Frank's call the same evening as the native-payload cutover: HALOGEN_CTX and
HALOGEN_KV_POOL_POSITIONS both 262144 -> 200704 (a multiple of 4096, the rung
frank-zealot already runs). The checkpoint's native window is 262,144 and the
engine serves anything below it, so this is a RAM decision, not a capability
limit: the KV reservation drops 7.2 GiB -> ~5.4 (the 2026-10-06 pool measured
14.6), and by the FLAGS.md law -- RAM the pool takes is RAM that n-gram table
loses -- the freed positions become page cache for the 47.68 GiB table that
long prompts read. Engine-side total ~74 GiB instead of 75.8.

The 400-zone law is invariant to the value, so the harness moves WITH the
ceiling: models.yml contextWindow 217088 -> 155648 = ceiling - 45056, keeping
the gap that absorbs the chars/4 under-count (worst-case request ~156.2k vs
the 200,704 ceiling, ~44k margin). Compaction now fires at 85% = 132,300 est
(~136k measured); the 180k target of the 262,144 era is unreachable because
the window itself is 155,648. maxTokens 45056 and the coupled
cap/timeout 65536/7200 are untouched.

Cost stated plainly: with pool == ctx, ONE maximum-length request fills the
pool, so two long conversations never coexist (two of <=100k do). Acceptable
because frank-dragoon carries only the slow role and the security-reviewer
subagent, not the interactive workhorse.

Seam re-keyed: the fit-law test now proves the invariant at the new pair, and
the pool law (ctx <= pool <= slots * ctx) still holds with pool == ctx.

# frank-dragoon.env — tunables for the frank-dragoon endpoint on Dankclaw's
# Strix Halo iGPU (gfx1151), host port 7770.
#
# RUNTIME (2026-10-17, Frank): halogen-flash-server 0.16.2 — the
# closed-source C++/HIP engine (image ghcr.io/peonist-ai/halogen-flash-server,
# digest-pinned below) serving Quat3rnion/halogen-qwen3.8-flash-next-v2-
# abliterated — the NATIVE v2 conversion (2026-10-11) of orcarouter's pinned
# BF16 Qwen3.8-Flash-Next, abliterated — as a podman container under a root
# unit, driven by scripts/serve-frank-dragoon.sh. This CUTS OVER the
# 2026-10-06 Swift1.5-finetune shape; rollback = revert the swap commit and
# redeploy: the swift15 payload stays on disk at
# /home/dank/models/halogen-flashnext-v2/, the 27B-era payload beside it.
#
# MEASURED A/B, both boots on this box, identical battery traffic (engine
# tools with the service stopped, behavior probes against it, 2026-10-17):
# NIAH 18/18 vs 17/18, refusal census 0/5 on both, tool calls and the
# red-PNG vision probe identical, needle hit at both depths of a 21.5k-token
# haystack, decode 50.0 vs 46.8 t/s, cold prefill 1,604 vs 1,425 t/s,
# wikitext-2 PPL 3.968 vs 3.877 (the finetune's edge is gone: +2.3 %) and
# thinking tokens 1,476 vs 784 mean — the finetune compressed reasoning, the
# base thinks ~1.9x longer per answer.
#
# The A/B ran at the card's ctx/pool of 262,144. Afterwards Frank lowered both
# to 200,704 (RAM + the harness's compaction budget); the rates above are the
# ceiling-262,144 record and the production ledger is the 200,704 one.
#
# WHY THE RUNTIME MOVED WITH THE MODEL: the payload is .hgn — per its own
# card it "will not load in transformers, vLLM, or llama.cpp" — and the v2
# .hgn loads ONLY in the flash-server line (the old halogen engine is for
# the 27B p1w4d file; the v2 quickstart pins flash-server). What the move
# buys (card + live probe evidence): MTP spec decode (53-57 t/s greedy,
# 3-10x serial), ~1,640 t/s prefill at 34k, ~72% fewer thinking tokens than
# the censored 27B (905 mean), the ABLITERATED base (refusals should NOT
# return), IMAGE INPUT (the v2 vision tower loads beside the checkpoint —
# red-PNG probe verified on the card; the 27B engine ignored its encoder),
# tool calls verified, and the native 262,144 context — served at 200,704 by
# choice from 2026-10-17 (see SHAPE: the ceiling is a RAM decision, not a
# capability limit).
#
# SHAPE — the knobs that are NOT free, with the arithmetic:
# HALOGEN_CTX=200704 is the PER-REQUEST ceiling and the per-conversation
# hard limit — a prompt over it is a 400 naming the limit, never a silent
# truncation. LOWERED from 262,144 on 2026-10-17 at Frank's direction (the
# checkpoint's native window is 262,144 and the engine serves anything
# below it): every position costs KV pool RAM and shrinks the prompt-cache
# entry (111 MiB at 262,144, ~85 MiB here). The 400-zone law is INVARIANT
# to the value — it says the harness window must sit ~45k UNDER the engine
# ceiling, because the harness clamps max_tokens to contextWindow − est −
# 4096, its chars/4 est UNDER-counts the rendered prompt by ~3 % on
# code/agent traffic, and compaction only fires at 85 % (measured 2026-10-07
# at the old 200,192 ceiling: est 152,938, server 157,388, over by 354).
# Harness contract (models.yml): contextWindow 155648 (= ceiling − 45056,
# the gap that absorbs the estimate error), maxTokens 45056.
# Compaction fires at 85 % = 132,301 est ≈ 136k measured — the 180k target
# of the 262,144 era is unreachable at this ceiling: the window itself is
# 155,648. Worst-case request: prompt + budget <= 155648 − 4096 + 3 %
# est-error ≈ 156.2k <= 200,704 — ~9.5× the 3 % error of margin (robust to a
# ~25 % under-count). Compaction rides on frank-zealot: input ≈ threshold −
# keepRecent(20k) ≈ 112k, inside its 200,704 slot.
# HALOGEN_KV_POOL_POSITIONS=200704 — ONE pool behind HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS=2
# (ledger form: "2 slots over ONE <pool>-position KV pool, each request up to
# HALOGEN_CTX"). With pool == ctx a single MAXIMUM-length request fills the
# whole pool. ~28 KiB/position (FLAGS.md) ⇒ ~5.4 GiB, where 262144 cost 7.2
# and the 2026-10-06 shape's 524,288 measured 14.6. The engine's own preflight
# formula bills a little more than the reservation because it adds block
# scratch and ~115 MiB/slot of O(1) state — quote the RESERVATION for the RAM
# ledger. FLAGS.md law: "RAM the pool takes is RAM that table loses", so every
# position cut is page cache for the 47.68 GiB n-gram table long prompts read.
# HALOGEN_KV_SLOTS=2 restores the w4b-era shape on this box: the MTP
# drafter is NOT slot-locked on this engine (batching and speculation
# coexist — DFlash-era slots>1 law does NOT carry over; the card's own
# quickstart ships 2 slots WITH the head), so the second slot is
# concurrent capacity, not a speculation tax.
# Memory ledger against the box's 121.2 GiB unified (the n-gram table is
# mmap'd page cache beside the checkpoint, not a pinned charge — the boot
# ledger agrees: "mapped 51.2 GB, NOT pinned (Pin::None)"):
# weights ~62.9 GiB locked (0.8 of them the vision tower) + KV ~5.4 +
# working ~5.7 (HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192) ≈ 74 GiB engine-side, with the
# prompt cache (~1.0 at this ctx; 1.3 was measured at 262144) booked
# separately by the ledger; HALOGEN_HOST_RESERVE_GIB=20 keeps the host
# honest; baseline co-tenancy (frank-zealot, ComfyUI, Caddy/observ)
# ~10-15. ~30 GiB margin. The boot ledger is the referee — read it after
# deploy and re-size if the engine prints a clamp.
# HALOGEN_SPEC_ADAPT=0 is MANDATORY (card): the default adaptive policy
# turns the MTP head off for whole requests after low acceptance and
# HALVES decode as a result. Frank accepted the head always-on trade
# (temp 1.0 traffic costs acceptance; the card still ships the recipe).
#
# CLIENT CONTRACT deltas vs the 27B shape (harness side lives in
# ~/.omp/agent/models.yml):
# * SERVER-SIDE SAMPLER EXISTS NOW: HALOGEN_TEMPERATURE/TOP_P/TOP_K set
# the card's thinking recipe (1.0 / 0.95 / 20) as engine defaults, so
# an absent temperature is no longer greedy. models.yml extraBody
# carries the same values — consistent, not load-bearing.
# * HALOGEN_MAX_TOK=8192 is only the DEFAULT for requests that omit
# max_tokens; the harness sends at most its maxTokens 45056. Requests
# over HALOGEN_MAX_TOKENS_CAP (65536) are a 400 naming the cap. Cap and
# queue timeout are COUPLED (FLAGS.md table): 65536 at ~10 t/s serial
# worst case needs > 6550 s; 7200 honors it. Do not move one alone.
# * max_tokens INCLUDES thinking; a reasoning reply over a small budget
# returns empty content with finish_reason "length".
# * Prompt cache is ON by default (PROMPT_CACHE=2): a follow-up turn at
# 100k context re-prefills ~2 s instead of ~88 s cold. No pin needed —
# unlike the 27B engine, auto-sizing fits this box's ledger.
# * Thinking lands in reasoning_content (same as the 27B engine); the
# v2 chat template rejects reasoning_effort outside xhigh|medium|low,
# so the models.yml fold (high->xhigh) still applies.
# * Vision: OpenAI image_url content parts only (the fleet's standard
# contract). >=256 px probe images or the model answers "video".
# * Concurrency at depth is tight now: the KV pool is ONE 200,704-position
# budget behind 2 slots — exactly one maximum-length request fills it. Two
# conversations coexist only while they stay under ~100k each. The
# PER-REQUEST ceiling moved WITH the pool (262144 -> 200704), so the harness
# contract moves too: contextWindow 155648 = ceiling − 45k, never higher.
# * response_format json_object/json_schema unsupported in this line
# (no constrained decoding) — unchanged from the 27B engine.
# * The engine's token protocol has no auth and binds loopback INSIDE
# the container; only the frontend port (8731) is published. Same as
# before. Kernel needs CONFIG_HSA_AMD_SVM (CachyOS ships it) and
# amdgpu.noretry=0 (check at deploy).
# Image: digest-pinned (fetch law: tag pulls silently re-point; the digest
# is what was qualified). 0.16.2 = the version the model card names as its
# quickstart pin; RepoDigest captured at pull on 2026-10-06.
