Frank af5ddfc54c chore(scripts): env files carry knobs plus the reason, not the swap ledger
Every KEY=value is byte-identical to the previous revision (diffed against
git show HEAD: -- 28/25/20 keys). What left is the per-swap narration: the
archon header drops 207 lines of era prose, dragoon 127, zealot 104. Each
header now keeps the format lock, the digest/identity law, and one line per
knob explaining what a reader editing that line cannot recover anywhere.

The facts moved to their one owner: LLM/frank-archon.md, LLM/frank-dragoon.md,
LLM/frank-zealot.md. One stale claim dies with the trim -- the dragoon header
still said the KV pool is ONE 200,704-position budget behind 2 slots, which
contradicted its own 401,408 paragraph; the page carries the correct ledger.

Also kills two wrong arithmetic claims in the zealot header: the q8_0-V and
CTX_SIZE=401408 rungs each free 3,840 MiB at the 524,288 pool, not 8,192 and
not ~6.7 GiB.

# ONE OWNER: shape, payload identity, eras, laws and every measured number live

# state dir's tune/ subdir carries rad-tune's kernel-selection cache; the engine

# (inside the image), so the cache only survives on a host mount.
# Container identity is the SERVICE name: one name across systemctl and
# `podman ps`; the runtime changes, the name does not. The legacy list retires
# every predecessor identity that could hold the GPUs or the port.

# --- engine shape (the boot ledger arbitrates every number below) ---------
# TP=2 needs the 2026-09-20 board (x8/x8 on root ports): a collective cannot be
# dispatched on a card whose PCIe chain lacks atomics. Radiance's wire is
# libr4d's own, not RCCL.
FRANK_ARCHON_TP=2
# Lossy WHT 6-bit wire for large all-reduces (publisher's production choice). It
# stays EXACT for single-sequence decode and any step of <= 25 rows — see
# MAX_SEQS x (1 + SPEC_TOKENS) below.
FRANK_ARCHON_TP_WIRE=wht6
# Decode slots. A slot costs KV, never decode; the pool is sized to this
# contract and nothing more, so a FOURTH full-height conversation is REFUSED as
# too large to fit — never squeezed, paged or truncated. That is Frank's
# explicit trade: the freed MiB went to the expert slab.
FRANK_ARCHON_MAX_SEQS=3
# Served window. The engine treats `kv group tokens >= max-model-len` as a HARD
# limit, and models.yml contextWindow MUST quote this number (over-length is a
# refusal, not a truncation). The pool is sized for seqs x maxlen, not one
# sequence.
FRANK_ARCHON_MAX_MODEL_LEN=200000
FRANK_ARCHON_PLACEMENT=expert_tiered
# Pinned host pool for expert rows that do not fit VRAM. It moves WITH
# VRAM_WEIGHTS: the pair and this pool serve the per-rank resident set together,
# so cutting the slab spills here — under-sizing it is a boot failure (36,864
# refused a boot). The ledger's coverage line is the referee, not this file.

FRANK_ARCHON_GPU_HEADROOM_MIB=96
# ONE budget per card: VRAM_WEIGHTS + VRAM_KV <= 30,969 MiB, the ceiling the
# engine's own budget table prints (derivation and the slab/pool price: the
# page's VRAM laws). Idle KV VRAM is ALSO the expert cache's spillover, so a
# bigger pool pays twice — which is why the pool sits at the contract and the
# slab takes the rest.

# fp8 is the ONLY rung below bf16 on this engine: one kv_dtype for the whole

FRANK_ARCHON_KV_DTYPE=fp8
# The checkpoint's own MTP head at depth 2: this fleet's ladder was measured at
