The base qwen3.6-35-a3b is already ttl: 0 via the `pinned` group.
The three other Qwen 3.6 variants (abliterated, heretic, 27b) had
ttl: 600 → llama-swap auto-unloaded them after 10 min idle, costing
the next request a full reload (~5-15s). Removed so they stay loaded
once warm. Still get evicted by the normal swap when another
non-pinned model is requested — these aren't joining the pinned group,
just losing their idle-unload timer.
Decision recorded in CLAUDE.md ("Stack tree convention") and memory
(convention_stacks_vs_mirror.md):
stacks/<stack>/ canonical / intent. git-tracked.
deploy-stack.sh reads from here.
stacks-mirror/<host>/<stack>/ snapshot / reality. gitignored.
sync-stacks.sh writes here. Used
for drift inspection only — never
a deploy source.
Bug this fixes: deploy-stack.sh was reading from the mirror, so edits
to stacks/llama-swap/config.yaml never reached ana-ml2. Today's
two new model entries (qwen3.6-35-a3b-heretic + qwen3.6-27b) lived
in the canonical for hours but the deploy reported "in sync" because
the script only diffed mirror vs server.
Changes:
* deploy-stack.sh: source switched from MIRROR_DIR/$HOST/$STACK to
STACKS_DIR/$STACK. Header comment + error message updated.
* sync-stacks.sh: header explicitly identifies its role as drift
detection; documents the diff command for comparing canonical vs
mirror.
* stacks/llama-swap/{config.yaml → conf/config.yaml}: matches the
deploy mapping (conf/ in canonical → /opt/docker/conf/ on host).
* CLAUDE.md: "Stack mirror (pull / push)" section rewritten as
"Stack tree convention (canonical vs mirror)" with the role table
+ workflow rules + diff recipe. Layout diagram updated.
