`[2026-08-02]` **The mimir-inbox / #377-read-path arc — deploy, four bugs found+fixed+verified, a cloned voice, all in one long session (2026-08-01→02).**
The browser-facing half of the #377 Muninn ingestion arc, end to end: mimir-inbox stood up, the write path proven, the read path chased through four defects to a verified-working state, and a character voice cloned into the TTS zoo. Peers: mimir-dev (the app), muninn-dev (gate/watcher spec), worldtree-dev (Worldtree app layer + the #380/#381/#382/#383 fixes), ratatoskr-dev (a consumer + the rigorous verifier).
## mimir-inbox deployed (#377)
- **New infra-ops stack, canonical eshpfi `stacks/mimir-inbox/`; live corviduo-dev `10.250.50.152:8091`** (co-located w/ muninn-gate :8090 + the worldtree-personal muninn watcher). Full deploy detail + procedures → auto-memory `reference_mimir_inbox_deploy`.
- **Placement decision (operator, reversed):** 7-31 he ruled mimir-inbox stays OFF corviduo-dev (shared/NFS mount); 8-01 he REVERSED to CO-LOCATE. Trigger: muninn-dev's code-check showed staging is NOT same-fs-constrained (gate reads staging metadata + passes path strings; `os.replace` is inside `ingestion_root`) — staging's real constraint is **path-identity across writer/gate/watcher**, which co-location buys outright while dodging NFS failure modes. I HELD the reversal for the operator's direct word (data/hosting on a team-managed box, reversing his own ruling) even against 3 peer relays — vindicated as the right instinct; muninn-dev agreed.
- Build: **`uv sync --no-dev --frozen`, SINGLE-STAGE** (project installs editable-linked to `src/`, so src/ MUST stay beside .venv — a multi-stage "copy only .venv" dies at import/404s assets). uid 1000, host-net bind 10.250.50.152:8091, TCP-liveness healthcheck (deliberately NOT gate-coupled). Redeploy = refresh build context (**preserve the on-server `.env`!**) → `docker build -t mimir-inbox:0.0.1 -t mimir-inbox:<sha> .` → `compose up -d`. Version stays 0.0.1 across dev commits → tag the image w/ the source SHA too. Live commit progression `0478452`→`c8ab38f`→`2dcc77e`→**`8ece117`** (3 redeploys).
- mimir-inbox key on the gate bumped [read,submit]→**[read,submit,control]** (cancel/retry); brokered via a 0600 drop on nh3-dev (never on the althing bus).
## The read-path bug chain (worldtree-dev's, all found via this arc)
- **#380 wing-blind indexing:** the book-ingest path upserted concepts into a hardcoded `main` Chroma collection while wing search reads the `fiction` collection → P&P written to disk but `search_library` returned total 0. A silent-success defect ("complete/69 indexed" was right about the WRITE, wrong drawer). Root-caused off MY physical evidence (files on disk + search empty). Fixed b164 + a one-shot `--reindex <job_id>` (re-upsert into the right wing collection + delete stray `main` rows).
- **#381 stale Chroma client:** the personal api opens its Chroma client before the watcher's cross-process writes → **a freshly-ingested/re-indexed book is NOT queryable until the api is restarted.** Proven by my restart-diagnostic (pre-restart total 0 → post-restart hits, same index). Workaround until fixed: `docker restart worldtree-personal-worldtree-api-1` after any ingest/re-index. Filed as #381.
- **#382 unreliable Mimir grounding (the subtle one):** post-#380-fix the index was correct, but Mimir's grounding was INTERMITTENT — some sessions navigated the opaque job-hash dir (`mimir-f3887c9b97b7`) to the content, others distrusted the correct vector hits and **silently answered from training knowledge** (worst of the looks-fine-isn't family). ratatoskr-dev caught it; I'd been over-confident ("Mimir read Austen back to you") having verified the INDEX, not the GROUNDING. Fixed b166 with BOTH shapes: a self-describing `_index.md` per wing job-dir (resolves the hash dir to its title) + a Mimir prompt rule (wing-scoped hits ARE library content, never discard on a name mismatch, never substitute training). **Verified: ratatoskr-dev re-ran 3× fresh sessions → 3/3 grounded**, citations in note-extracted language not raw Austen. #382 CLOSED.
- **DCC (Dungeon Crawler Carl, job `b59c147c5ce0`) backfill:** `--reindex` FAILED ("job not found in any state dir" — predates state-tracking). SETTLED = **no re-file** (the b166 prompt rule already grounds it even without an `_index.md`; ratatoskr confirmed incidentally); an `_index.md` rides whenever DCC is next re-ingested.
- **#377 mimir-inbox banner bug (mimir-dev's, `8ece117`):** `/health-banner` misattributed an unwritable `ingestion_root` to the WORKER, rendering "The worker is not running." for a running worker — a false lead pointed at infra-ops's half of #377. Fixed (guard split into two banners); I confirmed from the DEPLOYED handler (not just the test) that `ingestion_root_writable:False` now renders "The ingestion root is not writable."
## muninn-gate → muninn-dispatch 0.1.5
Rebuilt `muninn-gate` off `vh/muninn-gate` main `bc04c4c` (dispatch 0.1.4→0.1.5) so the gate serves the new `concept_schema`/`concept_schema_source` row fields (computed gate-side). Gate version unchanged 0.0.14 (dual-tag the SHA). Build needs the vh gitea token as a BuildKit secret (`--secret id=gitea_pw`, UV_INDEX_GITEA_USERNAME=vh, drop+shred). Recreate with `compose up -d` (NOT bare restart — needs the new image). Verified: P&P job serves `concept_schema='fiction'`, `concept_schema_source=null` (null correct — pre-b164 job). Registry tags by commit SHA — `v1.0.0bNNN` docker tags don't resolve; use the deployed SHA (confirm `--reindex` present before using an image for a data-op).
## donut voice (65-frost → Zonos gateway)
Operator: "pick up 65-frost, use that bundle as a voice for a character named donut." 65-frost = a **Booth id** (`~/booth-data/65-frost/`) holding a curated yt-voice-clipper dataset (`dataset-…-curated.zip`: 4 clips + manifest, all SPEAKER_02 = Princess Donut). **Zonos gateway voice registry = a filesystem drop:** `<Name>.wav` in the voices dir (44.1kHz mono s16 PCM) auto-registers as `voice:"<name>"` on **startup** (needs a restart). The LIVE dir is the bind mount `/opt/docker/compose/zonos-gateway/voices/` (lkraven-writable), NOT the working tree. Built `Donut.wav` from seg000 (best clip), dropped it, restarted → `voice:"donut"` live in the gateway AND the Asset Engine's make form. Also copied to the build-source tree `~/zonos-gateway/voices/` for rebuild-durability (true canonical = the gitea repo, not yet CI-wired). Auditioned in booth `donut-voice`.
## Zonos streaming (no gateway change needed)
ratatoskr wanted play-as-it-arrives. `/v1/audio/speech` ALREADY streams — chunked `StreamingResponse`, opens native `/tts/generate` with `stream=True`, wraps as a streaming int16 WAV with `0xFFFFFFFF` placeholder sizes (meant for progressive `<audio>`). Verified TTFB 0.44s vs 6.84s total, `transfer-encoding: chunked`, dials preserved. ratatoskr's proxy was rewriting the placeholder header → forced buffering. Fix was theirs (pass chunks through); shipped + confirmed (TTFB 0.46s progressive). The Asset Engine (ana-docker:8200) IS the fleet "TTS zoo" (~20 audio svcs w/ irv-ml1 endpoints); zonos-gateway registered there, state=ready.
## Lessons (also in Tried-and-abandoned)
- **Verifying the INDEX (search returns hits) is NOT verifying GROUNDING** (does the agent trust+use them vs. silently answer from training). Check that citations are note-extracted, not model-knowledge. ratatoskr caught this after my over-confident "it works."
- **Reading the DEPLOYED artifact > trusting the test** for "is the fix live" — the test proves the source is right; reading the running code proves the artifact is, which is what an on-call actually meets.
- Held a boundary-box/data reversal for the operator's DIRECT word against 3 peer relays — the right call (peer relay ≠ operator consent; the placement guard was vindicated).
