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.

Prowlarr
Prowlarr is the indexer management layer for the *arr stack. It hosts the indexer definitions and exposes them as Torznab feeds and downloads; Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, and Readarr query those feeds and receive results.
Host: FrankBook-Pro (podman machine) — Access: direct port 9696 (no
reverse-proxy vhost; the *arr stack is exempt by construction from the Anubis
guard chain) — Docs: https://wiki.servarr.com/prowlarr

Indexer queries flow through Prowlarr; a grab hands off to the querying app's own qBittorrent download client. Feeds are per-indexer:
http://prowlarr:9696/{indexerId}/api?apikey={GLOBAL_KEY}&t=caps|search|tvsearch|movie|music|book&...
http://prowlarr:9696/{indexerId}/download?link=...&file=... (torrent handoff)
| App | Indexer row | Prowlarr id | Categories | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Radarr | Prowlarr-YTS | 7 | [2000] | ✅ grabbed + imported 2160p Dark Knight 2026-08-30 |
| Sonarr | Prowlarr-Nyaa | 4 | [5000] | ✅ connection validated (202) |
| Lidarr | Prowlarr-Nyaa | 4 | [3000] | ✅ connection validated (202) |
| Readarr | Prowlarr-Byrutor | 3 | [7000] | indexer valid; download client parked |
The global API key is in config.xml (<ApiKey>); per-application keys are
only used by Prowlarr's own sync calls, NOT by the feeds. The arr download
clients authenticate to qBittorrent with the permanent WebUI password stored
in /home/dank/.qbpass (mode 600, owner dank) on Dankserver — see
qBittorrent for why that password must be pinned in the conf file.
Readarr caveat: Readarr is abandoned upstream; its qBittorrent client
cannot authenticate against newer qB Web-API versions (Authentication failure on the connection test while Sonarr/Lidarr/Radarr pass with the same
credentials — root cause: qB ≥ 5's 204 empty-body login success, fixed fleet-
wide by pinning qB to 4.6.7). The books pipeline is parked pending a Readarr
successor; the indexer row itself is healthy.
Gotchas (verified live 2026-08-30)
- The feed route is
/{indexerId}/api. There is no/torznab/{id}/feed— that path (and any other unmatched path) hits the Forms-auth catch-all and gets302 → /login?returnUrl=…. An arr following the redirect parses the login HTML and fails with a cryptic'/' is an unexpected token … Line 54XML error that looks like an auth problem. It is a path typo. Source:NewznabController([HttpGet("{id:int}/api")]+ absolute/api/v1/indexer/{id}/newznab). - The arr's Torznab joiner is
TrimEnd(baseUrl,'/') + apiPathwith NO separator.baseUrl="…/7/" + apiPath="api"silently becomes…/7api. Either keep the leading slash onapiPath("/api") or end the baseUrl with/api. - Categories in the indexer row must be a subset of what the feed's
capsadvertises; extras log "does not support the following categories" and some feeds reject them. - A freshly created indexer row defaults to all-off. If

Search proves TV + music chains 2026-08-30: Sonarr returned 76 live releases for an anime term, Lidarr 18 for YOASOBI – THE BOOK, all via the Prowlarr-Nyaa feed. - The v1 API collection is
/api/v1/applications(not/api/v1/app); GET responses carryfields: []— real settings values live inprowlarr.db→Applications.SettingsJSON (read-only inspection). - Instance name/
InstanceName=Prowlarrinconfig.xmldoes NOT prefix the API/feed routes on this build (they answer at root; the/Prowlarr/...prefix 302s to the SPA). - Application auto-sync model (v2): Applications are first-class rows in
the
Applicationstable; each of the four app rows (sonarr/radarr/lidarr/ readarr) carries the real baseUrl+apiKey withSyncLevel=FullSync. The earlier v1-era failure wherePOST /api/v1/applications/testthrewUnable to cast object of type 'NzbDrone.Core.Thing…'(v1 could not deserialize Radarr 6.3's newer response types) is historical — it was the reason the manual Torznab rows were created in the first place. - Prowlarr runs
