- shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml: the llamacpp reuse recording rule divided cached by prompt, but llama.cpp's prompt_tokens_total EXCLUDES cached tokens (its own HELP line), so the ratio was unbounded — measured 77 on a fully-warm frank-large, meaning LlmPrefixCacheCollapse could never fire on that side. Now cached / (cached + prompt), with the traffic floor counting both terms too; the header documents the unit trap. Also fixed the LlmEndpointDown description: frank-large's CIRU llama.cpp build DOES export the llamacpp:* family (verified live), so the alert covers all three endpoints. - shared/grafana/provisioning/dashboards/llm-fleet.json: re-cut for two namespaces. Every panel reads both (the endpoint picker selects); the KV-pool-fill panel retired 2026-09-16 returned with vllm:kv_cache_usage_perc; the latency p95 panel returned with the vLLM histograms (TTFT/ITL/e2e); the alerts panel is scoped to the fleet's Llm.* rules; the stale halogen-era description is gone. All 21 panel expressions validated against the live endpoints. - runbook + log + Observability: prefix caching measured, not inferred — reuse happens at 1,648-token block granularity (attention block size padded to the mamba page size); an identical 13,021-token prompt went 2.30 s cold to 0.68 s warm with 9,888 tokens (76 %) reused, while a 2,521-token prompt registered zero hits. Rule counts corrected to 6 alerts + 3 recording rules. ./tests/run.sh: 325 pass.
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.
