- CONTEXT_SIZE=1048576 / PARALLEL_SLOTS=4: four conversations, each the full native 262144 window (per-slot window unchanged; slots divide the pool, they never multiply it). - CACHE_TYPE_V=q8_0 / CACHE_TYPE_K=f16: main KV drops 24,576 -> 18,816 B/token (-23.4%); the shared MTP drafter's KV ignores the V type (measured: 2,048 MiB draft pool = the f16 law at 1,048,576 cells). - OT_OVERRIDES: blocks 0-3 on ROCm0 and 45-47 on ROCm1 stay GPU-resident (2.42/2.49 GiB per block, measured); the rest stay CPU-computed. Measured free under load: ~4.9 GB card0 / ~3.4 GB card1; a 5th block on card0 lands at 2.27 GB, under the 3 GB checkpoint floor, so blocks are atomic and 4 is the safe fill. - serve script: --cache-type-k/v env-wired tunables; ONE joined --override-tensor flag (b11030 deprecates repeated flags, and the loader is first-match-wins, so the specific patterns must precede the broad exps=CPU sweep). - seams: the window test asserts per-slot = 262144 at 4 slots; new KV-type test; OT exact-value assertion pins the ordering law.
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.
