 ## Current state / in-flight
 
+_As of 2026-07-10 — session ran three Vuong-authorized peer tasks: brokkr TTS audition (DELEGATED, in-flight),
+comfy-dev ComfyUI bump (attempted → ROLLED BACK, blocked on comfy-dev), biweekly scan cron (SETTLED). Full detail
+in the 2026-07-10 Recent-decisions entries. Immediate fresh-context pickup:_
+
+- **🔊 TTS AUDITION (research-slot) — env+harness build DELEGATED to a background agent (IN-FLIGHT).** Stand up
+  Higgs TTS 3 (`bosonai/higgs-tts-3-4b`, ungated despite NC) + ZONOS2 (`Zyphra/ZONOS2`, Apache) + Chatterbox
+  baseline (already running `chatterbox-fast` :8197) on irv-ml1's **A6000** (~30G free; 3090 full w/ mOrpheus),
+  SEQUENTIAL load. Harness = text→WAV per model + **TTFA/RTF** logging. Protocol (READ IT):
+  `~/development/brokkr-smithy/research/R17-nvv-extraction/erp-voice-nvv-corpus/tts-audition-protocol.md`. Decider =
+  NVV/expressive naturalness; deliver blind-A/B web-listen + latency table → **operator ranks** (not me). brokkr
+  delivers the ~15-20 prompt set AFTER the env's up. **⚠️ FRESH-CONTEXT PICKUP: a background general-purpose agent
+  (spawned 2026-07-10) is doing the build; its WORK persists on irv-ml1 but its completion-ping/agent-ID likely
+  won't route post-/clear → on resume VERIFY the build state DIRECTLY on irv-ml1 (`ssh irv-ml1`; look for a
+  `tts-audition` work area under /worktank or /home/lkraven, pulled models, the harness) instead of waiting for the
+  agent.** irv-ml1 = lkraven, docker-group, NO sudo; A6000 = docker device 1.
+
+- **🖼️ COMFYUI BUMP → v0.27.1 — comfy-dev GAVE THE GO + FULL RECIPE (2026-07-10); re-attempt on fresh context.**
+  Target CORRECTED to **v0.27.1** (the ACTUAL latest; operator said "v25" but wants latest + Krea-2 needs ≥0.25 so
+  0.27.1 covers it; braced for breakage). irv-ml1 `comfyui` currently healthy on rolled-back 0.24.1. Prior attempt
+  crash-looped (SageAttention ABI vs torch 2.13; DISABLE_UPGRADES bumped the venv but NOT the ComfyUI git checkout
+  — see the 2026-07-10 Recent-decisions entry). **comfy-dev's atomic recipe (althing thread 01KX655V — run "your
+  way", bundle to avoid a broken intermediate):** (1) git-advance `/comfy/mnt/ComfyUI` → tag **v0.27.1** +
+  `pip install -r requirements.txt` **as uid 1000** for new deps; (2) torch 2.13.0 rides along (expected, for LTX);
+  (3) **rebuild SageAttention vs torch 2.13.0** so `--use-sage-attention` works — IF the recompile fights, DROP the
+  flag as fallback + **FLAG comfy-dev** (SageAttn is load-bearing for WAN speed + tied to their per-workflow
+  AttentionSelector workaround for the Qwen-black bug, so they re-validate); (4) re-pin `DISABLE_UPGRADES=true`. Net
+  = `/worktank/comfyui/venv-snapshot-comfyui-0.24.1-20260710.tar` (crash-loop → roll back like last time + ping).
+  **PING comfy-dev when healthy on 0.27.1** → they run their 3-tier validation (node-schema diff vs their saved
+  105-node baseline → validate_graph_templates.py → smoke renders across families) + own the workflow-breakage
+  triage. Optional: add `decord` (uid 1000) for the pre-existing ComfyUI-RMBG SAM3Segment warning if trivial, else
+  skip. **⚠️ comfy-dev's GO is currently UNACKED; it's a RISKY re-attempt (crash-looped once) and the operator said
+  "wait for comfy… before WE go back" → the fresh context should SURFACE to the operator (comfy-dev GO'd + v0.27.1
+  recipe ready) and confirm before executing, NOT silently auto-run.**
+
+- **📅 BIWEEKLY LANDSCAPE-SCAN CRON — SETTLED.** Live systemd --user timer on nh3-dev (next auto-run 2026-07-15
+  09:00 PT), dedicated `brokkr-scan-dev` handle, notify = `post --to brokkr-smithy-dev` (Vuong ruled inbox-post,
+  no phone-push). Fully validated end-to-end. Nothing owed; watch for a brokkr-scan-dev first-dwarf-arm routing
+  hiccup flag on the 15th.
+
+- **📬 althing:** a harness-tracked wake-listener was armed for comfy-dev's reply. **A /clear kills the monitor
+  loop → the fresh session must re-arm (`/althing:monitor`)**; the 📬 banner surfaces new peer mail on next prompt
+  regardless.

 ## Recent decisions
 
+- `[2026-07-10]` **ComfyUI 0.25.x bump on irv-ml1 ATTEMPTED → FAILED → ROLLED BACK (snapshot saved it).** comfy-dev
+  requested (Vuong-authorized) bumping the irv-ml1 `comfyui` stack (mmartial image, `/opt/docker/compose/comfyui/`,
+  0.24.1) to 0.25.x for Krea-2 + LTXV 2.3. **TWO FINDINGS: (1) `DISABLE_UPGRADES=false`/USE_PIPUPGRADE bumps the
+  VENV (torch 2.12.1→2.13.0 + deps) but does NOT advance the ComfyUI CODE checkout** (`/comfy/mnt/ComfyUI` =
+  `/worktank/comfyui/run/ComfyUI` stayed 0.24.1 — pinned/detached git, comfy-dev's domain). **(2) the torch bump
+  broke SageAttention** (2.2.0 `_fused.so` undefined-symbol `c10::impl::cow::materialize_cow_storage` vs torch
+  2.13.0) → `--use-sage-attention` (REQUIRED launch flag in COMFY_CMDLINE_EXTRA) crash-looped ComfyUI. Net: broke
+  the working state, zero 0.25.x payoff. **ROLLBACK WORKED**: pre-bump 16G venv snapshot
+  `/worktank/comfyui/venv-snapshot-comfyui-0.24.1-20260710.tar` restored (torch 2.12.1 + working SageAttention),
+  re-pinned DISABLE_UPGRADES=true, recreated → healthy on 0.24.1, serving :8188. Broken venv parked at
+  `/worktank/comfyui/run/venv.broken-torch213-20260710`. **CORRECTED PATH (sent comfy-dev, thread 01KX655V):**
+  comfy-dev git-advances the ComfyUI checkout to 0.25.x + reqs → I handle the torch bump + SageAttention
+  rebuild-against-2.13.0 + re-pin (snapshot stays as the net). **LESSON: mmartial `DISABLE_UPGRADES` gates ONLY
+  the venv pip-upgrades, NOT the ComfyUI git checkout; a torch bump breaks compiled exts (SageAttention) →
+  rebuild-after is mandatory.** Bump BLOCKED pending comfy-dev's git-advance. Stack: A6000 (NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1),
+  lkraven-owned compose+venv (uid 1000, no sudo needed), COMFY_CMDLINE_EXTRA OOM flags preserved.

+- `[2026-07-10]` **Biweekly open-weight-releases scan cron set up for brokkr-smithy (Vuong-authorized).** Durable
+  systemd **--user** timer on nh3-dev (`brokkr-landscape-scan.timer`, OnCalendar `*-*-01,15 09:00:00`
+  America/Los_Angeles, Persistent=true; linger on) → `.service` → wrapper `~/.local/bin/brokkr-landscape-scan.sh`
+  runs headless `claude -p "$(cat ~/.config/brokkr-landscape-scan/prompt.txt)" --dangerously-skip-permissions` in
+  `~/development/brokkr-smithy` (ALTHING_HANDLE=brokkr-smithy-dev; **explicit PATH** — the --user minimal-PATH
+  footgun; per-run logs `~/.local/state/brokkr-landscape-scan/`). Prompt = brokkr's payload verbatim (LLM/image/TTS
+  new-release sweep → ranked synthesis → commit+push+notify). VALIDATED: git-push non-interactive (BatchMode
+  ls-remote to gitea, passphraseless key — no agent), headless claude auth (READY smoke). VALIDATED END-TO-END 2026-07-10 (manual run, exit 0):
+  web-sweep→synthesis→commit `2ed2f29`→PUSH of scan #2 (open-weight-releases-2026-07-24.md); triaged dwarf input +
+  caught baseline errors, quality strong. **HANDLE-COLLISION caught+FIXED** — the headless scan shared handle
+  brokkr-smithy-dev with the LIVE session + raced its inbox (eitri's dwarf-reply got stolen by the live monitor);
+  registered a dedicated **brokkr-scan-dev** handle (`add-handle`, driver=none) + repointed the wrapper + rewired
+  step-5 notify → `althing-cli post --to brokkr-smithy-dev` (NO vuong althing handle exists — confirmed). model=default
+  + `--max-turns 80`. First run under the new handle = 7/15. Off-cycle 07-24 doc is a validation artifact (scheduled
+  1st/15th runs date to their own run-date, no collision) — operator naming-convention call pending.
+  **NEXT AUTO-RUN 2026-07-15 09:00 PDT.** Manual validation/first run = `systemctl --user start
+  brokkr-landscape-scan.service`. Open w/ brokkr (thread 01KX63G6): confirm notify-Vuong handle/mechanism + session
+  handle + model/turn-cap. **NEXT brokkr task (operator-sequenced after this): TTS audition env** — Higgs-TTS-3 +
+  ZONOS2 + Chatterbox baseline, TTFA/RTF + blind-A/B web-listen (thread 01KX6371; needs GPU-placement + HF-token
+  feasibility pass first; brokkr delivers the prompt set after the env's up; protocol doc in brokkr-smithy repo).
