New page [[frank-medium-batch-ubatch]]: the sweep's method (one invocation per cell, a VRAM sampler per cell, 64k prefill measured AT 64k depth), the full batch x ubatch matrix, the depth-0 control, the deployed-shape VRAM table, and the limitations — including the one that cost me two runs, that amdgpu does not return ~26 GiB at once, so a reload after a kill fails with "unable to allocate ROCm0 buffer" and reads exactly like a configuration that does not fit. AGENTS.md: the batch lesson now carries the measured curve (the peak at 512, the 10 % loss at 2048, the irrelevant logical batch, the invariant decode) instead of the "~3.3 vs ~1.7 GiB" figure, which was measured at the bench's shape; at the deployed shape the asymmetry is 2.41 against 1.30. Fleet row and the frank-medium section now say 35:30 and batch 6144x512. Runbook: deployed flags, the split history with the ubatch-512 table, the fault note, and the verified VRAM (6.44 / 6.90 idle, 6.23 / 6.64 under two concurrent requests). Dual-R9700-Cooperation: the live capability table (card 0 ReqEn+ against card 1 ReqEn-, x1 effective link on card 1) and an honest label on the M.2_2 riser premise — it is ASUS's spec sheet, not a measurement, and CPU-attached does not imply Routing+ on this board (00:08.3 is CPU-side and Routing-). log.md: the round trip recorded, newest first.
Server App Configs
The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.
2026-08-22: the former
vllmScriptsrepository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Deployment
See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md
and serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run
./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after committing changes. It
plans and deploys only the changed services. Use --service NAME for an
explicit single-service retry; inference is restarted only when its own files
(or the shared chat template) changed.
Knowledge Base
The serverAppConfigs-docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at
serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at
serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/index.md.
Testing
Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See
serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
