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.

Command Center Dotfiles
Repo ~/.omp is itself the deployment: packages are home-relative trees
under dotfiles/<pkg>/; scripts/deploy.sh symlinks live files into the
repo checkout. git pull + deploy.sh is the whole propagation story.
Transport decision (agreed with Frank, executed 2026-09-09)
- Ship via full-replica rsync of
/home/dank/.omp/including.gitto<user>@<host>:/home/<user>/.omp/, NOT clone-from-Gitea —maincan be ahead oforigin/main; push is a user-only trigger, so clone would ship stale state. - Deploy runs on-target as the target user:
bash /home/<user>/.omp/scripts/deploy.sh(resolves the repo viagit -C $(dirname $(realpath $0)) rev-parse --show-toplevel, so.gitmust be present at the target path — full-replica transport guarantees this).
Pre-overwrite audit (MANDATORY before first sync on a non-blank host)
Diff every file that deploy.sh --check reports as DRIFT against the repo
copy BEFORE letting quarantine-and-replace run. Host-specific divergence
belongs in an override package, not in quarantine:
- Pull divergent live files from target
(
ssh ... 'cat <path>' > local-staged-copy). - Secret-audit staged copies (grep token/secret/password/key shapes) before anything enters git.
- Compose
dotfiles/zz-<hostname>/on the source machine from those live copies; commit to repo first. - Ship the package dir via rsync, then run deploy sync — override deploys LAST and win over base packages.
deploy.sh mechanics (verified on blankpad)
--check= pure report (ADOPT/LINK/DRIFT lines), writes nothing. Run it first, always.- Default mode = sync: adopt identicals silently, link new,
quarantine-and-replace divergents into
.quarantine/<host>/<ts>/(gitignored; never rm). - Override-target bug (fixed cc2c652):
zz-<host>packages nest base-package dirs internally (zz-blankpad/niri/.config/...); target derivation must strip the nested package segment, else overrides deploy to phantom$HOME/niri/.config/...while real targets keep pointing at canonical copies (visible symptom: check shows 0 actions butreadlink ~/.zshrcpoints at basezsh/.zshrc). - systemd units auto-enable only when ExecStart binary resolves on that
host; dconf packages load via
dconf load /, never symlinks. core.hooksPath=.githooksis armed by deploy.sh per machine — set it once post-transfer even before first sync.
ssh/sshpass transport gotchas (all bit live)
- Resolve the target via mDNS FQDN (
avahi-resolve -4 -n <host>.local); a bare hostname may not resolve. Drop-not-refuse on port 22 = sshd down or firewall default-drop, not auth failure — needs a local/console fix on target. SSHPASS='...' sshpass -e ssh ...inline per invocation; an env passed via the tool's env parameter did not propagate to the sshpass child process.- The remote login shell may be fish: never send bash syntax
(
for/do/done,$?) bare throughssh host 'cmd'; wrap asbash -c "..."or ship a script. See SSH and Remote Access. - File shipping:
ssh 'cat > /remote/path' < localfile(stdin redirect). A here-doc attached to the ssh command is consumed bycat— the intended script body becomes the file content, silently. Verify shipped bytes with an md5sum compare on both ends; do NOT compare/dev/stdinaftercatdrained it (false DIVERGED).
Verification of a completed deploy
Re-run deploy.sh --check → expect exactly zero actions/quarantined/skipped
= idempotent steady state. Spot-check readlink on override files points
into dotfiles/zz-<host>/, not base packages.
