   - fv-ml1 GPU 0/1 plateau read (Beszel `stats.g.<n>.mu` × 1.024), now ~10-10, since every seat restarted at 0034 10-08.
   - Destroy `zroot/ROOT/debian@pre-patch-20261008` on fv-ml1 ~10-15 if nothing regressed.
   - sfsrv-ana `pre-pbs4` snapshot delete is unverified (infra-ops has no key there; ask infra-hermes).
+  - SVOS thaw fix needs repeats (one clean drill is evidence, not proof): after the nightly 21:30 nh3-pve-2 vzdumps, grep nh3-svos `journalctl -u 'svos-*' --since 21:29` for `startup or service failed`; if one reappears, send svos-dev one line.
   - Re-read nh3-nas usage after the 10-08 GC (79% at 10-07 2350; the mirror prune ran OK).
 - **Verified 2026-10-07/08 (closed):** the 10-07 0800 backup check read all fresh with no DESTROYED/DEGRADED lines; the pbs-nh3 mirror prune ran OK at 00:00 on 10-07 and 10-08; `pre-pve9` snapshots are gone on pfi-pve and esh-pve.
 - **Watching: jekyll on `sec-reasoning` (cyberprev, GPU 0)** since ~1435 10-06 (Prime moved it off gen-large). sec holds 337k KV tokens. jekyll's ~180k context plus a long sec prompt (up to 192k) can overflow it, as gen-large did (preemptions; decode down to 2–16 tok/s). jekyll's context grows ~1k/call toward the 262k ceiling. It runs on the shared all-agents-local key; a key of its own would make its traffic attributable.
