Root 84%→54%, storetank 87%→79%, worktank 62%→86%. → `servers/irv-ml1/README.md`
+- `[2026-10-05]` **ana-docker Traefik `readTimeout` 60s → 10m on both entrypoints** — the Traefik v3 default cut skaldsong's 2.5 G registry blob PUTs at exactly 60.0 s (16/16 deploys failed since 05-28). Static file on host, not in `stacks/`. → `servers/ana-docker/README.md`
 - `[2026-10-05]` **Embedder routing split (Prime 0030, via albok-dev, confirmed directly): `qwen3-embedding` = esh-ml1 primary / nh3-ml1 failover; new `qwen3-embedding-bulk` = nh3-ml1 primary / esh-ml1 failover, for albok writes** — LiteLLM `order` (read at source, v1.97.0); failover proved by stopping nh3-ml1 tei-embed (bulk 6/6 → esh-ml1, 200s). Gateway restart = 43 s outage. albok-service key granted the bulk alias; Nemi key not. TEI weights revision unpinned on both (model_sha null). → `stacks/litellm/conf/config.yaml`
 - `[2026-10-04]` **albok-service moved to nh3-albok, a VM that runs only albok (albok-dev relaying Prime)** — nh3-docker's socket containers and plaintext tcp/2375 were root over the restricted wings; nh3-pve-2 vmbr0 VLAN-aware by reboot; PBS ns `nh3-pve-2`; copy verified by digest (dir st_size differs on ext4, not data). → `persistent-memory.d/2026-10-04-albok-service-moved-to-nh3-albok.md`
 - `[2026-10-04]` **The whole fleet is on PVE 9.2.21 and PBS 4.2.7** — per-host traps (pfi-pve's grub-pc on UEFI, esh-pve's dead bridge port, nh3-pve's missing 7.0 headers, PBS via guest agent) and what a pfi-pve reboot costs. → `persistent-memory.d/2026-10-04-fleet-on-pve-9-and-pbs-4.md`

-Nothing acute. `/storetank` dropped from 92% → 64% after a prune pass
+**2026-10-05 cleanup (Prime):** Docker went from 968 GB to ~527 GB. 318 old pullable tags were removed (arbo except
+v1.17.0 + v1.16.2, vllm, old comfyui cuda12.6/12.8 tags, CUDA base images, python:3.11, tts-generation-webui,
+llama.cpp), plus dangling images and build cache unused for more than 30 days: +441 GB. Home entries untouched for more
+than 2 months were deleted: +82 GB (aimodels, granite-4.1-8b-bf16, r16-vmoan-harness, r17smoke/separator, morpheus,
+neovim, panns_data, small scripts/logs, old `.cache` dirs, 13 old HF cache entries). Kept although old, because they
+are live: `act-runner` (act_runner.service), `arbo-webhook.py`, `ytvc-webhook.py`, `arbo-deploy.sh`,
+`deploy-engine.sh`, `dotfiles` (stow target for `.zshrc` and friends) and `fzf-git.sh` (sourced by `.zshrc`).
+⚠ An old mtime does not make a file unused: daemons started in May never update atime. Check `/proc/*/{cwd,cmdline,fd,maps}`,
+units and symlinks before deleting.
+Not done: ~81 GB of locally built TTS seat images with no container (qwen3-tts, ace-step, vibevoice, zonos, parakeet,
+kyutai-tts, old dots-tts, stable-audio-open). They cannot be re-pulled, and the asset-engine still lists several of
+those seats, so the TTS owner decides.

+Before that: nothing acute. `/storetank` dropped from 92% → 64% after a prune pass
 on the native-toolchain side; keep an eye on it since model weights
 and training outputs accumulate steadily (misbehavior starts around
 ~95% on either ext4 or ZFS).
