+
+- `[2026-07-09]` **Two parked items closed: phantom `qwen3.6-35b-a3b` alias VERIFIED already-gone; ana-docker
+  docker log-cap SOLVED no-bounce.** (1) **Phantom**: absent from `/v1/models` + `/model/info` (config+DB
+  registry), zero litellm log refs — the parked "400s in /v1/models" note was STALE (already cleaned in the
+  2026-07-08 gen repoint to `-heretic`); bare token survives only in 2 config COMMENTS (lines 76/80). Nothing to
+  remove. (2) **Log-cap**: running containers were UNCAPPED (182M json-logs, top offender 59M) because
+  daemon.json's `max-size 10m/max-file 3` only applies to containers CREATED AFTER a daemon restart — it never
+  reaches already-running ones. No-bounce fix = `/etc/logrotate.d/docker-containers` (**copytruncate** — dockerd
+  opens json-logs `O_APPEND` so truncate-in-place resets cleanly, no sparse-file corruption; `size 10M`,
+  `rotate 3`, `compress`, `su root root`), auto-picked-up by the daily `logrotate.timer`. Force-ran + gzipped the
+  frozen `.1` archives → **182M → ~55M** (44M active + 11M gz), every container kept its multi-week uptime
+  (zero bounce, verified). **LATENT FOOTGUN FLAGGED (not yet fixed, operator's call): daemon.json declares
+  `live-restore:true` but the RUNNING daemon has it FALSE** (daemon.json was edited after the last daemon start,
+  never reloaded) → the NEXT `systemctl restart docker` / crash / pkg-upgrade **bounces ALL ana-docker containers
+  once**. Fix WITHOUT a bounce = `systemctl reload docker` (SIGHUP loads live-restore into the running daemon;
+  log-opts are NOT SIGHUP-reloadable, which is why logrotate — not the daemon cap — is the enforcer for running
+  containers).

+- `[2026-07-09]` **mOrpheus TTS off-the-shelf voice pipeline SHIPPED end-to-end (irv-ml1) + wired into
+  gateway-chat.** Full arc (commits): gen served-name honesty rename aeon→qwen3.6-35b-a3b-heretic (99a4a17,
+  vLLM served-name + litellm refs, so /v1/models + spend-logs name the real model); permanent 2-container stack
+  (01eedd8); gateway-chat auto-voice quoted dialogue (c948013); streaming decode TTFA 4.5s→0.8s (da76829);
+  max_tokens 1200→2400→3500 with a context-clamp (f363fe6, 0655a37 — long lines were clipping at 14.6s, and
+  `repetition_penalty` 1.1 is LOAD-BEARING: at 1.0 the model never stops); AudioContext resume-on-gesture
+  no-sound fix (033f368); pre-chunk by QUOTED SECTION not sentence for prosody (a1f3023→f295cc1); staged clone
+  voices baddy/beatrice/whisper (0655a37 + runtime .wav/.txt in the voices dir); agent voicing prompt (a573514).
+  **Load-bearing config, all encoded in stacks/mOrpheus/: bf16 not FP8, image v0.23.0 not latest, GPU=3090 not

+
+- `[2026-07-09]` **granite→gen `memory_extractor` bind host-synced on demo+personal Worldtree (Vuong-directed,
+  #335 Slice-4).** Changed `model_roles.yaml` memory_extractor `binds.catalog_id` `summarizer`→`gen` (overrides
+  intact: thinking:false/temp0/8192) on BOTH `/opt/worldtree{,-personal}/config`; `memory_distiller` left on
+  `summarizer` (range-scoped sed `/memory_extractor:/,/memory_distiller:/` — the naive global replace would've hit
+  both); backups `*.bak-preqgen-20260709`; validated via each container's OWN yaml parser. **DEMO LIVE on gen**
+  (b43 `d501e516732d` auto-deployed mid-edit + its restart RACED my edit by ~2min → I restarted
+  `worldtree-worldtree-api-1` to activate; healthy, live process resolves memory_extractor=gen). **PERSONAL
+  NOW LIVE on gen too** — Vuong authorized the restart (via wt-dev); restarted `worldtree-personal-worldtree-api-1`
+  after a PRE-FLIGHT that ran the app's OWN `load_model_roles()` (`core/llm/roles.py:121`) against the synced config
+  INSIDE the running `c9986cd` container: `gen` in catalog, all 9 roles resolve, no `DanglingBindingError` → proven
+  safe on the OLDER image BEFORE touching it (model_roles-delta-alone clean; no full-config-set sync needed).
+  StartedAt 20:50:55Z, healthy, resolves gen. **BOTH instances live on gen.** **LESSON:
+  the bind-mount `/opt/worldtree*/config` SHADOWS the baked `/app/config-defaults/` → the deploy alone never
+  updates the ACTIVE config; the host edit is required AND a restart activates it (role registry cached at boot) —
+  pre-stage BEFORE the deploy's restart or you race it.** FOLLOW-UPS (non-blocking): (a) `memory.extractor.user_pass`
+  parity block → self-serve from the b43 baked `defaults.yaml` (pydantic-default no-op); (b) stale `gen` provider
+  description (Mistral-Small-4 → qwen3.6-35b-a3b-heretic) → wt-dev owns the REPO-side `providers.yaml` fix
+  (operator's call — NOT purely cosmetic: the gen/dialogue + classifier entries carry Mistral-Small-4 SAMPLING
+  defaults that drive mask/lofn/forseti/mimir dialogue, so wt-dev re-validates for qwen), host cosmetic sync pairs
+  when it deploys. Gave wt-dev the VERIFIED canonical 4-alias set (backends+samplers read from the LIVE gateway
+  config, not the doc); corrected `docs/pfi/model-sampler-defaults.md` seat 4 (had lagged QwQ-RpR-v4 → Deckard-PKD;
+  live gateway was always Deckard). Operator SCOPED IN the character-RP re-point (2026-07-09):
+  character→char-rp / thoughtful-character→char-rp-reasoning (character-rp per wt-dev's role semantics), moving
+  character RP off the GENERAL qwen onto the dedicated Magidonia/Deckard seats. Relayed to wt-dev w/ the mapping
+  principle + a SAMPLER-OVERRIDE warning (DROP character-rp's old temp0.75/top_p0.85 overrides — carried onto the
+  dedicated seats they'd clobber the canonical RP tuning DOWNWARD) + ratatoskr-reach note (role call is transparent
+  but Magidonia/Deckard quality/latency differs from gen). DONE 2026-07-09: wt-dev committed 5d4fa4a (v1.0.0b44,
+  UNPUSHED — operator drives push); operator directed host-ahead-of-push, so I sourced BOTH config files directly
+  from that unpushed commit (local `~/development/Worldtree` checkout — capital W; `git show 5d4fa4a:config/…`) +
+  mirrored VERBATIM to `/opt/worldtree{,-personal}/config` on demo+personal, paired-pre-flighted via the app's
+  `load_model_roles()` (no DanglingBinding), restarted both → LIVE: character→char-rp, thoughtful-character +
+  character-rp→char-rp-reasoning, memory_extractor→gen preserved. Backups `*.bak-prerp-20260709`. context_window
+  VERIFIED (llama.cpp /props + char-rp-gguf `.env`): char-rp **131072**, char-rp-reasoning **262144** (gave wt-dev
+  to patch the repo from its interim 32768). **HOST AHEAD of repo-remote until the operator pushes 5d4fa4a** (baked
+  config converges with the bind-mount on push+deploy). GOTCHA: demo≠personal — PERSONAL was already partly
+  re-pointed (2026-07-06 AEON-era character→char-rp) so its delta was mostly stale-AEON-descriptions→Magidonia/Deckard
+  + character-rp + stripping personal's char-rp `default_params` temp0.7/top_p0.8 that CLOBBERED the gateway RP tuning
+  downward; DEMO had no char-rp catalog entries at all (b44 adds them). Diffed each instance vs b44 before applying
+  (both deltas = expected changeset only, nothing instance-specific clobbered). wt-dev PATCHED the context_window in **b45/3384a37**
+  (char-rp 131072, char-rp-reasoning 262144). BUMPED HOST-AHEAD on both instances (operator-directed 2026-07-09):
+  mirrored b45's providers.yaml → `/opt/worldtree{,-personal}/config`, restarted, verified LIVE (char-rp ctx
+  131072, char-rp-reasoning 262144, bindings intact); backups `.bak-b44interim-20260709`. HOST now = **b45
+  canonical** (providers.yaml) + b44 (model_roles unchanged b44→b45). STILL PENDING: (1) operator's batched push
+  of **b44+b45** (`5d4fa4a`+`3384a37`) to converge the repo-remote — host is ahead, no fork; (2) user_pass parity
+  block (defaults.yaml — NOT in either, separate). Threads `01KX3SGH`/`01KX48QP` (worldtree-dev),
+  monitor armed. See [[reference_corviduo_dev_emergency_ops]].

+`[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).

 **Open follow-ups (non-blocking — pick one up or not):**
 - **Zonos emotion:** sad axes/text pass on the 3 calibrated voices (only named-sad, untested); emotion-congruent-text pass (validates intensity, may rescue sad id); clone-char (Emmie/Penny/Natalie/Miranda) emotion rows use the mid-region fallback until measured. Presets are **provisional** (neutral-text ear-check was inconclusive). Tools `~/development/zonos-tools/{axes_sweep,strength_ladder,gen_auditions,dial-in-studio,assemble_voice}.py` (run ON irv-ml1; dial-in studio = nohup :8898 on nh3-dev). dvalin thread at rest (`01KXT12FN0AS…`). → `persistent-memory.d/2026-07-18-zonos-gateway-0.2.1-emotion-presets.md`
 - **zonos-gateway CI-wire:** deployed irv-ml1 tree `/opt/docker/compose/zonos-gateway` is still NON-git (hand-updated build context) — git-connect + build-on-push like the other sisters. (Same pattern soong-lab now has.)

+- `[2026-08-02]` **Verifying the INDEX is not verifying GROUNDING** (#382). A `search_library` returning wing=fiction hits proves the content is *retrievable*; it does NOT prove the agent (Mimir) *trusts and uses* those hits vs. silently answering from training. I reported "Mimir read Austen back to you" off a grounded-*looking* answer; ratatoskr-dev caught that grounding was intermittent (some sessions discarded the correct hits and substituted training knowledge). Test the harder claim — are the citations note-extracted or model-knowledge? — and reading the DEPLOYED artifact beats trusting the test for "is the fix live."

 - `[2026-07-30]` **brokkr's WebSearch "verification" CONFIRMED a hallucination — 3 phantom `microsoft/Mage-Flow-{Base,Turbo,Edit}` repo IDs.** brokkr-smithy-dev handed 3 gated-looking repo IDs for an operator-directed model pull; they don't exist (its own web-search fabricated an arXiv ID + project page, twice). Lesson: the HF **registry API is ground truth** — an unauth 401 ≠ exists (`{"error":"Invalid username or password"}` masks private/gated/nonexistent alike), an authed 404 = phantom, and `author=X&search=Y` refutes existence. API-verify every repo ID before a pull; LLM-summarized web fetches confabulate. auto-memory `reference_verify_hf_repo_ids_before_pull`.
