Context: 262144 was measured before it was deployed -- 24.72 GB on GPU 0 and 29.14 GB on GPU 1 of 34.21 GB each, ~5 GB of headroom on the busier card, and a 140,069-token prompt prefilled through the single slot in 134 s to prove the window is real. The 114688 wall was the vLLM predecessor's arithmetic, not this runtime's. Throughput, measured through the service: 1.0-1.4k tok/s prefill from 4k to 140k, 43.8 tok/s decode on a 512-token generation, 41-71 % DFlash2 acceptance, and the prefix cache re-prefilling 4 of 998 tokens on a repeated prompt. The signals move with the runtime, so the fleet's rules and dashboard are re-cut rather than renamed: vllm: series do not exist any more, and two of the old rules watched things llama.cpp does not export at all (KV-pool fill, p95 latency). Those are retired with the reason written down, and LlmSpecDecodeOff takes one of the slots -- a lost drafter is the failure no client can see. The observability seam now fails if any rule names a series the endpoint does not export, which is what would have caught the stale vllm: expressions. omp models.yml (outside the repo) is updated in the same pass: contextWindow 262144, and the full reasoning-effort map, because Qwen3.8's template answers 500 on 'high' -- verified against the live endpoint, low/medium/xhigh answer 200. Subagents run at high.
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.
