Frank d56db43aa3 llm: patch 04 - glm5 KV pool carries draft + hidden-state groups
The dflash boot cleared the unifier and the kpool tail (02/03) and died on
KV capacity: on the generic path the mamba states are NOT aliased into the
MLA pages (the glm5 tensor layout's whole point), so the capacity estimator
demanded ~30.6 GiB fixed against 0.92 GiB available (the plan's KV reserve
registry only knows the target's 13,600 B/token).

Patch 04 keeps the aliased glm5 pool and appends the drafter's uniform
group and per-layer hidden-state groups beside it: grouping partitions
hidden + draft specs, the layout returns a 10-tuple, the builder sizes one
shared backing allocation (pool + extras), and the memory estimator adds
the extras. Patch 04b extends the GLM registry kv_bytes_per_token by the
drafter (4,096 B/token) and hidden-state (5 x hidden x 2 B/token) costs so
the expert plan reserves enough.

Local smoke tests (CPU torch + real spec classes) validate grouping shape,
layout recognition, builder block math and memory accounting against
synthetic GLM+draft+hidden spec sets. Apply-verified: reproduces shas

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 vllmScripts repository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Structure

  • dankserver/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankserver stack
  • dankclaw/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankclaw stack
  • shared/ — homepage, prometheus config, deploy helpers
  • scripts/ — deploy.sh and deploy-remote.sh (service-scoped deployment), the planner, LLM serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, and bench harnesses
  • old/ — retired PP/NPU-era LLM scripts (reference only)
  • serverAppConfigs-docs/ — project knowledge base (Obsidian vault, wikilinks). serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/ is the LLM fleet
  • tests/ — bats test suite (see Testing Policy)

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.
