Frank a5fe045b58 docs(vault): one fact, one owner — repair the doubled pages, single-source the facts
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.

# vLLM Index
> **RETIRED (2026-08-18).** The vLLM service on Dankclaw was replaced by the CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp runtime (v3). These pages are historical reference. See [[frank-dragoon]].

## vLLM Architecture
- [[VLLM Overview]] — Complete vLLM documentation including installation, CLI, API, and key arguments
- [[RAM CPU Offloading in VLLM]] — CPU RAM offloading mechanisms, swap space, and memory configuration
- [[Hybrid CPU GPU Processing Dankserver]] — NVIDIA GPU with system RAM hybrid processing
- [[Shared Memory Architecture Dankclaw]] — AMD ROCm unified memory and APU configuration
## Model Deployment Guides
