A misplaced ingestion-state move is silent (list_jobs OK, files inert; sole
symptom = job absent from board, job_row->None/404). Verify job is on the board
+ job.dispatch.json survived after any move; don't trust mv exit codes.
worldtree-dev round-2 unblock: mv job complete/->failed/ assumed failed/
existed; it didn't on personal, so mv renamed job1 to 'failed' + nested job2.
Caught + reconstructed via complete/ scratch, no data loss. Lesson: verify dir
exists with [ -d ] before mv-into (empty ls is ambiguous); guard peer fs cmds
with mkdir -p.
worldtree-dev accepted #384 recovery. Wing-git BrokenPipeError ruled a
watch-item (self-heals on DCC round-2 re-run; escalate only if 2-in-a-row).
Recorded a heads-up for a future production delete-by-job_id of 785 April-era
DCC orphans (job_id=b59c147c5ce0, 'main' collection) — to be handled supervised
(backup + scope-confirm + operator-in-loop) after ratatoskr's verify.
worldtree-dev pushed the train (main + tags v1.0.0b168/staging) and verified my
pre-sync matches the commit byte-for-byte. Recorded the next pending op: after
b168 CI-lands on personal, run --reindex of job mimir-6351554e8e8f + #381 restart
on their exact commands.
Synced the boot-gating summarization block + deep-reasoning desc to demo +
personal via deploy-wt-config (health-gated); replied GO. Recorded gotchas:
unpushed-commit fetch falls back to default branch (verify SHA exists), and
paste-sourced YAML needs indent/validate (8-space desc was invalid).
worldtree-dev advance notice: #384/#385 train adds a boot-blocking
'summarization' capability block (vastblueai-gateway/gen) that in-image
muninn/config.yaml references. Must pre-sync into providers.yaml on demo
+ personal via deploy-wt-config BEFORE the image deploy, from the exact
commit. ACKed; recorded as an open watch.
worldtree-dev gave advance notice: standing #381 restart of
worldtree-personal-worldtree-api-1 will be requested when DCC re-ingest
job mimir-6351554e8e8f (fiction wing) goes terminal in a few hours.
ACKed no scheduling constraints; recorded as an open watch so a fresh
session catches the request.
A/B (5 pinned-seed neutral pairs) showed original single-clip seg000
(16.3s) beats the 52s 4-take concat on timbre fidelity — reverted live +
build-source to seg000-alone. Recorded two craft lessons: more reference
audio is not automatically better when takes vary; emotion steering pulls
output away from a cloned voice fast (keep clones emotion-neutral).
Folded the onyx-58 Booth bundle (seg101/seg110/seg148, all Princess Donut
per operator-confirmed misdiarization of seg148) into the Zonos gateway
donut voice reference alongside the original 65-frost seg000. New ref =
52.0s @ 44.1kHz mono s16, deployed to irv-ml1 live bind-mount +
build-source tree; old ref backed up. A/B audition in booth donut-onyx58.
Centered on the resume task: build the infra-ops-owned Worldtree per-deployment
config repo + deploy tooling (operator-directed) with the one-time
worldtree-dev boundary agreement. Also records: The Booth shipped (v0.1.3), the
jackdaw-compose nh3-dev deploy, and the Worldtree #376 arc closed (per-instance
config ruled by-design). Two detail files + the /tmp handoff.
Record the RTXVideoSuperResolution node clone + the nvidia-vfx pip install
(scoped --extra-index-url, uid 1000) in the stacks/comfyui runbook. Flag the
durability split: the node is persistent (basedir/custom_nodes) but nvidia-vfx
lives in the disposable venv (run/), so it must re-run after every fresh
bootstrap. Deliberately not a global PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL (torch-pin safety).
Closes the comfy-dev provisioning ticket.
soong-lab: WT-style CI-deploy step live (SSH deploy@corviduo-dev, compose
pull && up -d from /opt/soong-lab, /api/version health-gate). Dir relocated
+ old retired; dedicated soong deploy key; run #5 green (container recreated,
v0.3.25 live). worldtree-sdk 1.0.0 Python published to vh Gitea PyPI +
acceptance-verified.
Deferred-work capture: Vuong approved wiring soong-lab auto-redeploy; operator
deferred execution to a fresh context. Recorded in Recent decisions with the
mechanism (WT-style CI-deploy step), the blocker (a vh-owned deploy SSH-key
secret), and next-session steps; handoff updated to make it the primary task.
The "5 AM clock" report was a hallucination in another window — clock verified
correct (US/Pacific, NTP-synced), no change.
Mirror the canonical EMOTION-DIALS-SPEC.md from vh/zonos-gateway (now carries
the provisional per-voice emotion presets baked as gateway 0.2.1) and capture
the axes-sweep → bake arc in persistent memory.
Created private vh/zonos-gateway on gitea, imported the previously-unversioned
~/zonos-gateway working tree (source + dials-first spec + voices). Updated the
stack README, spec §8, and the sister-repos table to point at the repo. Remaining
follow-up: CI + deploy key to wire the irv-ml1 deploy tree to the repo.
Captures the production Zonos TTS path that the repo was blind to: stock ZONOS2
:1920 engine (stacks/zonos-engine) fronted by zonos-gateway:0.2.0 :8890, reached
via the LiteLLM ext-tts alias. Documents the emotion-preset system (neutral/warm/
excited/sad/intense/whisper, the simple preset: caller path), the API, and the
measured real-time cost (calibrated steering free at RTF~0.52, cfg1.5 ~0.625 —
still realtime). Flags the gateway source (~/zonos-gateway on irv-ml1) as not yet
in gitea. Marks stacks/zonos (v0.1 Gradio) dead/superseded. Records the emotion-
lever finding (text-priming flat -> native steering works) in persistent memory.
worldtree-dev ruled the four other personal deltas code-default-optional (none
boot-required), cut staging/v1.0.0b125 (workflow 1859 green). Personal now on
b125 (877bb577ad36), healthy, booted off the staged bind-mount, live #365 blocks
byte-exact vs baked, clean boot. Demo + personal both confirmed. .bak-pre-365
rollback on both.
Demo auto-deployed to b125 and passed the boot-FATAL validator live against
the staged bind-mount; staged demo blocks byte-exact vs the baked image.
Personal staged (operator-directed) with the same verbatim blocks + backups,
all b125 checks pass, no restart. worldtree-dev holds staging/v1.0.0b125 until
they rule whether personal's other missing b107-b125 blocks (metrics/kb_audit/
reference_knowledge + affect-debug-observability-allow) are boot-required.
Staged the boot-blocking #365 delta on corviduo-dev DEMO /opt/worldtree/config
per worldtree-dev thread 01KXRE59 (verbatim from their 6a60fe3/b123 blocks):
internal + internal-restricted tiers, four internal-* rules, and the
internal_agent_comms:{enabled:false} gate. Validated via the demo container's
own PyYAML + the exact-set uniqueness guard; no restart (b123 activates off the
bind-mount). Backups .bak-pre-365. Flagged a pre-existing free==pro scope-set
dup to worldtree-dev as a b123 boot-block risk.
worldtree-dev flagged a boot-blocking config delta (commit 6a60fe3/b123, #365
internal-badge layer) needing a pre-sync of the demo policies.yaml + defaults.yaml
before its eventual deploy. Verbatim blocks received (althing 01KXRE59); the two
new scope-sets pre-verified unique vs the demo's 7 existing tiers. No urgency (push
held for heid gates) + FATAL-on-malformed, so deferred to a focused pass and captured
as an open loop (persistent-memory + /tmp handoff) rather than staged at the snapshot tail.
Current state rewritten to the active build task: containerize the production
Zonos2 :1920 TTS engine as a self-contained image (config captured in 14a0004)
and prototype the operator's prosody-priming hypothesis (prime→generate-one-
utterance→parakeet-clip→deliver, adapter-level, engine stays stock). New detail
file + Recent-decisions pointer capture the full plan + the crux (does AR prosody
carry the sentence boundary — A/B the join). /tmp handoff written for the fresh session.
Operator-directed 2026-07-16. Moved the char-rp prose seat (Magidonia-24B,
llama-charrp) from GPU0 to GPU1 (CHARRP_GPU_ID 0->1; recreate llama-charrp
only -- the var is shared with the retired GGUF reasoning service), then
re-optimized every context-relevant seat on both cards to native/max context
with acceptable headroom:
GPU0 (both seats now 256K native, ~14 GB reserve):
- char-rp-reasoning 150K -> 256K (heretic2 stack, util 0.38->0.46, 1.56x)
- gen 256K, max-num-seqs 16 -> 32 (qwen36-27b-aeon, util 0.30->0.42, 5.43x)
GPU1 (~6.7 GB headroom):
- granite 64K -> 128K full-chapter (vllm stack, util 0.18->0.27, 1.50x)
- char-rp 128K native (4 slots), selene/reward/embed/rerank unchanged
All seats gateway-verified healthy. Live .env changes on ana-ml2 with per-stack
backups (*-20260716). Templates updated to match; the qwen36-27b-aeon template
carries a NOTE that its served-name/model still lag the 2026-07-08 gen model swap
(35B-A3B-heretic) -- separate reconciliation. persistent-memory records the full
layout + the util-floor / per-model-KV-cost lessons.
Note: the heretic2-charrp-reasoning stack (char-rp-reasoning's live config) is
still untracked in git -- standing open-loop, its .env change lives server-side only.
Operator-directed 2026-07-16: free ~10GB on ana-ml2 GPU1 to relocate a GPU0
model onto GPU1. granite-4.1-8b (fleet summarizer) was over-provisioned at
util 0.34 / max-model-len 131072 with a flat 0.0% KV usage.
Set GRANITE_GPU_MEM_UTIL 0.34 -> 0.18 and GRANITE_MAX_MODEL_LEN 131072 -> 65536
on the live /opt/docker/compose/vllm/.env (backup .env.bak-pre-granite-rightsize-
20260716), recreated vllm-granite ONLY (shared stack). Result: GPU1 62,641 ->
51,897 MiB used (~10.5GB freed, ~45GB free now); KV 6.45 GiB / 84,528 tok /
1.29x concurrency @ 65536; summarizer verified healthy.
The util drop required the max-len drop: on this shared card the effective KV
slope is ~950 MiB per 0.01 util, and vLLM refuses to start unless the KV pool
holds >= 1x max-model-len -- util 0.15 undershot (est max-len 47184 < 65536,
crash-loop, ~2-3 min summarizer outage) before 0.18 landed. 65536 is granite's
precedented summarizer ctx; a summarizer doesn't need 131072.
.env.example updated to the new util (max-len was already 65536 in the template;
live had drifted to 131072). persistent-memory.md updated (parked item closed).
Operator-directed 2026-07-15. The dedicated Qwen-Image-Bench NVFP4 judge
backend on ana-ml2 GPU1 (:8014) was stopped to reclaim ~32GB after the
arbo -> gen hero-judge switch. Both LiteLLM gateway aliases that pointed at
it -- image-judge and qwen-image-bench -- now repoint to the gen backend
(:8015, qwen3.6-35b-a3b-heretic, vision-intact), held at deterministic
judge sampling (temp 0 / top_k 1 / rep_pen 1.05) with enable_thinking:false
(a reasoning preamble breaks json_object). Verified live: both answer with
:8014 down, so they are definitively on gen.
Incidental: backfilled the canonical char-rp-reasoning litellm block, which
had lagged live since the 2026-07-14 NVFP4+MTP seat repoint (model
deckard-pkd-27b -> char-rp-reasoning, top_k 40 -> 20, min_p dropped,
enable_thinking:true added). Required so pushing the canonical would not
clobber the correct live block.
Live changes applied out-of-band (config push + litellm restart + stack
stop on ana-ml2); live config backup at
config.yaml.bak-pre-imagejudge-20260715. Revert path documented in the
config comment. persistent-memory.md updated (parked item closed).
Split the 53 over-threshold dated log entries (Recent decisions, Tried
and abandoned) into per-entry persistent-memory.d/<slug>.md detail files,
leaving one-line pointers in the index; the 10 short entries stay inline.
Startup index drops 60,527 -> 25,256 bytes (492 -> 270 lines); entry
bodies move verbatim to on-demand detail files, so a fresh session loads
~25 KB instead of ~60 KB and pulls a detail file only when its pointer is
relevant. Top matter (Repo purpose, Tools & conventions, Current state)
is unchanged; both archival back-references preserved.
CLAUDE.md persistent-memory section now documents the index<->detail read
discipline (read the index, pull details on demand, never bulk-read the
dir, commit both together).
Auto-archival still held every dated entry back (all <30 days old); the
July burst begins aging past the 30-day guard ~2026-07-31.
