Frank a7329d190f feat(qwen38): the BF16 reference instrument - build it, drain once, record logits
Two tools the KLD gate depends on.

build-qwen38-bf16-rad.sh converts the checkpoint to a BF16 .rad with NO recipe
line, so every tensor stays bf16 - the reference must not carry the quantization
it is there to measure. It gates before writing 335 GiB: the checkpoint present
and fully verified by the fetcher's own verifier, the peak-disk bill (350,000
MiB: the checkpoint's 343,323 plus margin, because the .rad is built beside it),
an existing output retired to ~/.AGENTTRASH by --force instead of deleted, and
--plan-only before the real convert. --max-ctx 32768 is a declare-time check, not
a weight change: dropped, the resolver is handed the checkpoint's 262,144 window,
which at fp8 cache is 258.8 GiB on a 192 GiB machine.

run-qwen38-bf16.sh serves that container in three modes - kldref (record the
reference logits), score (record an arm's logits against that reference), calib
(open the Gram tap for the imatrix). It drains frank-archon and restores it on
every exit path, and the two logits modes ride ONE step size
(FRANK_QWEN38_MNBT, default 2048) and ONE window (FRANK_QWEN38_MAX_MODEL_LEN,
default 32768) so a reference and an arm cannot be measured at different shapes:
that is the whole validity of the KL number. Four slots over 2,048 matches
frank-archon.env's operating point (MAX_SEQS=4, MAX_BATCHED_TOKENS=2048); the
smaller host pool (12,288 vs 49,152) buys residency, which moves speed, not
logits. calib keeps 65,536 - decode-bound serving, never the gate.

kldref refuses before the drain when the corpus's longest record cannot fit the
declared window (limit = window x 3 chars, the pessimistic tokenizer bound; the
measured corpus is 38,263 chars, 2.6x inside 32,768). It runs on --dry-run too,
so the check is visible before a 20-minute drain is spent. 12 seam tests, each
red-proofed by neutralising the gate it pins.

# run-qwen38-bf16.sh — RUNS ON DANKSERVER. Boot a container over the campaign's
# ONE measuring shape for the phases that need both R9700s. The engine owns the
# cards, so frank-archon is stopped first and restored on every exit path — the
# autoresearch pattern: stop, never mask (the unit file in /etc/systemd/system
# is a symlink into the checkout and mask fails on a relinked unit; the deploy
# restores it).
#
# kldref --kld-record the reference log-probabilities: the engine
# runs /home/dank/corpora/out/kld.jsonl (197 prompts, 50,432
# scored positions, score tail 256) through prefill, writes
# /home/dank/campaign/qwen38-w5nl64/kld-ref, and EXITS. The
# model behind it is the BF16 container from
# scripts/build-qwen38-bf16-rad.sh — the vendor checkpoint's
# own numbers, which is what makes it the zero point.
# score RAD OUT --kld-ref score ONE container against that recording and
# EXIT: the FP8-native anchor, the served iq4r, and every
# arm. Deliberately the SAME engine pin, the same TP, the
# same step size, the same fp8 KV, --deterministic and no
# speculation as kldref — KL and top-1 agreement are only
# comparable across boots when everything except the weights
# is identical, so this mode is one argv with --model and
# the two --kld-* flags changed, never a second shape.
# RAD must sit under the models dir (the container reads it
# through the ro /models mount); OUT lands on a writable
# mount because --kld-out F also writes F.rows beside it.
# calib serve on :7770 with the calibration tap open
# (RADIANCE_CALIB_DIR + RADIANCE_CALIB_TOKENS=12000000). A
# separate driver — scripts/calib-push.py --port 7770
# --container qwen38-bf16 --corpus
# /home/dank/corpora/out/calib.jsonl — pushes the corpus; at
# 12M pooled positions the engine writes the Grams and the
# tap switches itself off (calib-push prints TAP_DONE). Stop
# this script after that; the trap brings frank-archon back.
#
# Shape: the vendor's bf16 calibration lines — expert_tiered placement with the
# weights disk tier, deterministic (the resident set pinned to the loader's plan,
# so a recorded reference and a scored candidate see the same one), no
# speculation, fp8 KV, a 32,768-token window, the PLE n-gram table pinned to RAM,
# and the production chat template rather than the one baked into the container —
# every scored container is asked the same tokenised questions the reference
# answered. The window is 32,768 because this corpus is long: measured on
# Dankserver 2026-10-27, kld.jsonl is 197 records with a longest of 38,263
# characters (longest prompt FIELD 36,855, median record 27,228), which is ~9,600
# tokens at the pessimistic chars/4 and ~7,700 at the ratio this repo actually
# measured on the K3 corpus (380,143 chars = 76,568 tokens, chars/4.97). A 16,384
# window cleared that by 1.7x; 32,768 clears every record of both corpora by at
# least 2.6x, and the kldref gate below re-checks it against the file on disk.
#
# NO --vram-kv-mib: it was REMOVED at 1.3.0 and naming it is a boot refusal, not
# a no-op — verified on the pinned image 2026-10-27: "E --vram-kv-mib was
# removed: the card is split between the weights and the cache from what the
# model needs." The budget resolver derives the per-card split from
# --host-pool-mib and --gpu-headroom-mib, and those two are deliberately NOT
# production's 49,152 / 1,536 (frank-archon.env:77): the pool decides WHICH
# experts stay resident, so it buys speed and never logits — the shape the gate
# has to hold identical is the kv dtype, the slot count, the step size, the spec
# depth and the window. It is also the only figure that fits: a 335 GiB bf16
# container cannot be booted against a 49 GiB resident set on a 192 GiB machine,
# and a prefill-only pass does not care that the disk tier paces at ~3 GiB/s.
#
# The step size is ONE value for the recording and every scoring pass:
# FRANK_QWEN38_MNBT, default 2,048. The gate's whole claim is that the reference,
# the served iq4r and every arm rode one shape, so the ceiling is set by the
# TIGHTEST payload the gate boots rather than by the bf16 reference: the quantised
# expert FILE tiers (the served iq4r, the arms) stream only at MNBT<=2048 and
# refuse the widened form above it, and 2,048 is what production holds anyway.
# Recording the reference at 32,768 would therefore measure a shape the payloads
# cannot reproduce; at 2,048 the 50,432 positions cost more steps, which is still
# one drained window. Calibration keeps the wide 65,536 — grams are not logits,
# nothing downstream is compared against a step size, and that is where a big
# step pays (a disk-tier step costs the same at 1 token as at 64k).
#
# usage: scripts/run-qwen38-bf16.sh kldref|calib|score RAD OUT [--dry-run] [--image REF]
# (RAD and OUT are score's two positionals: RAD is a container under the models
# dir, OUT the report path whose directory is created if missing)
# --dry-run print the exact `podman run` argv, one shell-quoted argument a
# line, and exit 0: the service is NOT stopped, nothing is
# mounted, nothing is written — the offline test seam. It still
# validates the argv's own shape (paths through the /models mount,
# a step size that is a number), because an argv that could not
# boot is not worth printing.
# --image REF override the digest pin (a probe boot, or the test seam)
#
# knobs: FRANK_QWEN38_MODELS (the dir mounted at /models), FRANK_QWEN38_RAD (the
# bf16 container, kldref only), FRANK_QWEN38_CAMPAIGN (holds kld-ref/ and
# calib/), FRANK_QWEN38_KLD_CORPUS, FRANK_QWEN38_TPL (the template copy
# the container reads through /models), FRANK_QWEN38_LOG_DIR, and
# FRANK_QWEN38_MNBT — the step size shared by kldref and score (2,048 is
# the file tier's ceiling and production's own value, four slots and all),
# and FRANK_QWEN38_MAX_MODEL_LEN — the window every mode boots at (32,768;
# see the corpus census above, and raise it together with the corpus).
# kldref refuses (exit 2) when the longest record of the corpus it is about to
# read is longer than MAX_MODEL_LEN x 3 characters — chars/3 being the
# pessimistic token:char ratio, so the script says no before the engine finds out
# inside a drained window, after the checkpoint work is already done. score
# refuses when the reference dir is absent, when RAD is not on disk or not under
# the models mount, or when OUT already exists: the trash law means a second
# score over the same name is a deliberate act, and two numbers in one file is
# how a campaign loses its own history.
# Engine stdout goes to $LOG_DIR/qwen38_bf16_<mode>.log — the boot ledger is the
# record of what the resolver actually gave the cards; the journal never sees it.
