Frank a5fe045b58 docs(vault): one fact, one owner — repair the doubled pages, single-source the facts
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.

# Authentik Processes
The three core containers of the [[Authentik]] stack on Dankclaw. The two
outpost units are not covered here — they live on [[Authentik]] and
[[Authentik Outpost Reference]]. Server and worker run the same image; the
`command` selects the role (`server` / `worker`). Data persists under
`/home/dank/Containers/authentik/` as bind mounts (repo policy — no named
volumes), moved from `/home/dank/authentik/` in the 2026-09-01 quadlet
standardization; the retired stubs this page replaces recorded the pre-move
paths `/home/dank/authentik/data` (server and worker) and
`/home/dank/authentik/postgres` (database).
## authentik-postgres
The PostgreSQL 16 database for Authentik — the only stateful store in the stack
(users, flows, sessions, events). Sessions, caching, and WebSockets moved to
PostgreSQL in 2025.10 (Redis removed).
- **Image:** `docker.io/library/postgres:16-alpine`
- **Data:** `/home/dank/Containers/authentik/postgres` (bind mount; no named
volumes)
- **Health:** `pg_isready -d authentik -U authentik`
- **Retired wording:** the stub called this a "Compose service … in
`dankclaw/compose.yaml`"; the compose stack is gone and the unit is a quadlet.
- The side-by-side with `gitea-postgres` (network, published ports, secret
source, boot persistence) is owned by [[Postgres]].
## authentik-server
The Authentik server — the core, the admin API, and the embedded Caddy outpost.
It also serves the login page at `https://auth.franksdank.cloud`.
- **Unit:** `dankclaw/authentik/quadlet/authentik-server.container`
(`authentik-server.service`)
- **Image:** `ghcr.io/goauthentik/server:2026.8.3` (`command: server`)
- **Port:** `9000` (published) — the outpost, the admin API and the login UI all
live here
- **Data:** `/home/dank/Containers/authentik/data` (bind mount, shared with the
worker)
- **Health:** recorded by the retired stub as
`http://localhost:9000/-/health/`; superseded — [[Authentik]] → Operations
owns the live probe.
- **Retired wording:** the stub described "the Caddy `forward_auth` vhosts"
proxying here; the chain Caddy actually runs is [[Authentik]] → Caddy
integration.
## authentik-worker
The Authentik worker — background tasks: event processing, provider
synchronization, scheduled flows, and certificate renewal.
- **Unit:** `dankclaw/authentik/quadlet/authentik-worker.container`
(`authentik-worker.service`)
- **Image:** `ghcr.io/goauthentik/server:2026.8.3` (`command: worker`)
- **Runs as:** `0:0` (rootless: container root maps to the host user that owns
the data dir)
- **Data:** `/home/dank/Containers/authentik/data` (bind mount, shared with the
server)
- **No port** — the worker has no HTTP endpoint.
