- scripts/erp-tune-gx10/pull-verify-jenerallee78.sh + base-pin-jenerallee78-shards.txt:
revision-pinned root-shard pull, 32/32 sha256+size vs brokkr-smithy pins, index
set-equal to stock, STOCK tokenizer set installed over the repo's (which bakes in
a 256-token truncation); repo originals kept as *.repo
- scripts/erp-tune-gx10/run-06-gx10.json + launch-run-06.sh: run-05 config with the
base swapped, recipe-r6, survivors-r5 verbatim, stock template path
- docs/runbooks/gx10-run-06.md: pull/verify record, free-check result (encode
reproduces run 5 exactly), hf download --include gotcha, gate naming
(erp-seat-base-ara / erp-tune-v6)
Operator-directed question (via brokkr): which weights at
/home/infra-ops/models/gemma4-26b-a4b-it-bf16 — stock or the heretic abliteration?
Answer from bytes: STOCK google/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it, byte-for-byte. Three-way match:
local shard sha256 (1127684971/aab47033) == HF download etags == stock repo LFS
oids, and download commit 4d7ae498 == stock HEAD. The recipes' -heretic-bf16 label
is a naming error (run-04 provenance was right; refusal telemetry confirmed). All
of runs 3/3c/4/5 trained from stock. Plausible cause: the selected llmfan46 26B-A4B
Heretic abliteration ships GGUF-only, so the bf16 safetensors pulled was stock.
Operator decision post-RESCUED verdict: point the LiteLLM trial alias at the
run-5 tuned seat (erp-tune-v5 on gx10:8098) for hand-testing prosody/feel in
Open WebUI. Rewrote the trial config block to run-5 reality, including the
now-MEASURED refusal-erosion note (k=25 both arms, de-gated + stated) replacing
the run-3c 'safety axes unmeasured' warning. Verified end-to-end: trial ->
erp-tune-v5 returns coherent output through the gateway. Container restarted to
re-read the bind-mounted config (up -d alone is a no-op for a config-only change).
First arm of the ERP-seat line where the capability gate did not fail. The
dependency-forcing slot (GovReport+QMSum, 3.46% of loss) broke the
diversity<->coherence coupling run 4 (STILL-COUPLED) and 3c (20x LR cut) could
not — structure of the loss was the lever, not its mass; INERT did not fire.
T4 8/8 (run 4: 5/8), t4_dissect noise 0.9062 vs run-3 0.5625, diversity held.
Reported-beside: T3 8->6 (new loss), RP-length partial fail, refusal erosion
(de-gated/stated), free-check base 5-6pp below run 4 (vLLM 0.28.0 unchanged).
Seat erp-tune-v5 served on gx10:8098 pending the operator's seat/ear decision.
ana-ml2 is up but not reachable cross-site from ESH (return-route gap on ana-ml2,
no SSH access to fix it). New stacks/ana-ml2-proxy: a pinned alpine/socat relay on
ana-docker (host net) exposing 10.250.50.70:2354 -> ana-ml2 10.250.50.54:2375.
Homepage docker.yaml ana-ml2-docker re-enabled pointed at the proxy. Verified:
esh-docker-vm reaches ana-ml2's docker (29.3.1) through it; /api/services returns
in 0s with 111 services; ana-ml2's inference seats (gen, coder, embed, rerank,
reward, image-bench, dockge) render. Reversible: point back at 10.250.50.54:2375
and compose-down the proxy once ana-ml2 routes to ESH.
The 2026-09-06 headscale cutover retired irv-ml1's wg0 tunnel IP 10.100.79.3
(now 10.6.110.50). Repointed all LIVE canonical refs to the DNS NAME so the next
move can't re-break them: homepage.href/siteMonitor labels across 25 stack
composes, load-bearing env defaults (asset-engine INFERENCE_HOST, open-webui
AUDIO_TTS_OPENAI_API_BASE_URL, skaldsong SKALDSONG_TTS_BASE_URL, zonos-gateway
ZONOS_URL, dia), homepage services.yaml manual cards (Voice Design Studio,
IRV-ML1), and servers/irv-ml1/ssh-target. Updated the stale 'WG tunnel' comment
to the mesh reality.
Left as-is: README curl-examples and .env.example comments (docs), and historical
mentions in CLAUDE.md/persistent-memory. NOTE: applying the label repoints to the
RUNNING irv-ml1 containers needs a recreate per service (labels read at creation);
deployed .env values are separate from these canonical defaults.
WhereTF (operator-directed, brokkr-smithy-dev; nh3-dev:8093, user-systemd Bun
service): manual Homepage card under Apps (can't auto-discover) + DNS alias
wherethef.nh3.internal -> nh3-dev.
While adding the card, found Homepage's /api/services was hung (dashboard
degraded since the 2026-09-06 irv-ml1 move): its docker.yaml still pointed
irv-ml1 at the dead 10.100.79.3, and ana-ml2 (10.250.50.54:2375) is unreachable
from esh-docker-vm — either dead host hangs the whole aggregation on its TCP
connect timeout. Repointed irv-ml1 to 10.6.110.50 (verified reachable via mesh)
and disabled ana-ml2 (reversible, noted). /api/services now returns in 0s with
96 services; WhereTF renders.
ext-tts / tts-1 / tts-1-hd / gpt-4o-mini-tts (all openai/zonos) were pinned to
irv-ml1's pre-move address 10.100.79.3:8198, dead since the 2026-09-06 headscale
cutover to 10.6.110.50 — so ext-tts through the gateway hung. Reported by
tts-dev/svos-dev.
The 4 aliases are DB-backed (store_model_in_db), so their api_base was updated
via the admin API to the DNS name http://irv-ml1.nh3.internal:8198/v1 (not a
fresh IP — that just re-arms the trap on the next move). The container cannot
resolve *.nh3.internal via split-horizon DNS, so this adds an extra_hosts entry
mapping the name to 10.6.110.50. Verified: container resolves the name and a
live ext-tts/sindra call returns 200 + valid MP3.
Run 5 = the dependency-forcing corpus arm: airoboros-3.2 OUT of the 20% slot,
govreport/clean-v1 (496) + qmsum/clean-v1 (97) IN, at run 4's lr 2e-04 with
everything else held. kvasir byte-identical (survivors-r5 = survivors-r4 minus
airoboros plus the two new roots whole). Operator authorized the launch to
infra-ops directly; grant operator-2026-09-07-rnd-run5.
Canonical copies of the config, launcher and survivors builder; runbook
docs/runbooks/gx10-run-05.md. Launch gates all passed (7/7 root shas + shard
hashes, survivor join 8,212 = recipe, holdout disjoint, window_count==1 on all
593 slot rows, realized [mix] slot loss 3.46% vs preregistered 3.4%). 524 steps.
persistent-memory current-state updated: run 5 LAUNCHED + training.
The standing link board grew from a flat oldest-first list with a per-row
× into a manageable board: newest links lead, favorites stay on top, and
several dead links can go in one pass.
- Ordering: order_for_display() renders pinned rows first, then newest-first
within each group (the board is an append log, so newest = most recently
posted — the row you usually came to grab).
- Pin/favorite: a per-row ★ toggles pinned state via POST /b/<name>/pin.
State lives in a .pins sidecar dotfile (one content id per line), NOT
inline in links.md — so links.md stays a pure atomic-append log (many
sessions post concurrently) and a row's content id never changes just
because it was pinned. remove_link_entry drops a removed row's pin;
orphaned pins are inert (renderer only stars a live id).
- Multi-select delete: checkboxes feed POST /b/<name>/unlink-many (repeated
'sel' content ids), with a select-all box and a live count. The per-row ×
stays for single removal.
- One <form> with formaction buttons, so checkboxes, ×, ★, and bulk delete
coexist without nested forms AND all work with JS off; JS only adds
select-all and the live count. Per-row × confirm reads desc/url from
data-* attrs, so an arbitrary posted description can't break into the JS.
- Every action is keyed by content id, never row position — same race-safety
the existing × has, extended to the bulk path.
- Fixed pre-existing undefined --fg/--bg CSS refs in the board styles.
Tests: +19 (pins round-trip, ordering, orphan-inert, remove-unpins, /pin
and /unlink-many endpoints, board render + order). Full suite 102 passing.
Deployed to nh3-dev booth.service; verified live (newest-first, pin
round-trip, bulk delete) against the real 31-row board with no data loss.
The A record and the CLAUDE.md fleet row both still named 10.100.79.3,
the wg0 lifeline that went dormant in the headscale cutover — so the
name resolved to a dead door and the row read like an outage waiting to
be misdiagnosed.
- dns/internal.yaml: irv-ml1 10.100.79.3 -> 10.6.110.50 (Irvine's real
LAN, 10.6.110.0/24, advertised fleet-wide as a mesh subnet route).
Resolve to the LAN IP to match the host->LAN-IP model every other
entry uses; mesh node IP 100.64.0.6 recorded in the note. Comment
rewritten: Irvine is no longer numbered out of NH3's 10.100.79.0/24.
- CLAUDE.md: fleet-table row and GPU-placement rule updated to the mesh
reality (wg0 lifeline dormant, access via headscale mesh).
Verified: all three AdGuard resolvers (ana/esh/nh3) return 10.6.110.50;
name pings live ~11ms; reachable from a mesh node and from a colo host
behind a subnet router.
Changes the risk profile of the pending ledger-dev -> svos-dev rename, so it
belongs in memory rather than only in the thread: retire is the correct verb
(delete refuses any handle carrying mail) and it can be undone by declaring the
name again.
Also records that both deploy findings landed in althing's own INSTALL.md,
where they sit beside the journal_mode=WAL setting that causes them rather than
in a procedure doc that only describes working around it.
The tools had been on 3.6.0 while the container sat on 3.0.0 for seven days, so
the operator verbs failed with "no tool named delete_handle" — they live in the
post office, not the client.
Image built on nh3-dev from a clean tree at 4d26226 and pushed under the
claude-bot namespace; the compose pin moves to the new digest rather than
floating on the tag, since this container is the fleet's whole message bus.
The backup procedure this file documents earned itself again: at stop time the
database was 23.8 MB with a 5.9 MB WAL beside it, so a plain copy would have
produced a database that opens cleanly, smokes green, and is missing the day's
mail. Stop, explicit checkpoint to a zero-byte WAL, copy, then verify counts on
both sides — 76 handles, 995 messages, 1022 recipients, integrity ok.
Post-deploy the same counts came back with handles.retired_at present, and the
memory cap and OOM guard were confirmed by `docker inspect` rather than by
reading the yaml, which is what that file asks for and the only check that can
tell a working cap from a decorative one.
Bus down about four minutes.
Records the fifo-relay fix and — more usefully — the two shapes that were tried
and rejected, so the next person does not re-derive them: a pipeline breaks cwd
persistence because every stage runs in a subshell, and a plain file is
invisible until the command ends. The absent `wait` is deliberate and is pinned
by a test, because it looks exactly like an oversight.
Corrects this file's own claim that infra-ops is sudo-less on nh3-extdev. It is
not: `sudo -n whoami` returns root. The wrong row would send a session looking
for a privilege path it already has.
Also flags that the althing tools are at 3.6.0 while the post office container
is still on 3.0.0, so the new handle verbs cannot work yet.
Found by using the tool for real work rather than by smoke-testing it. A bare
`sudo -n whoami` through ssh_run returns `running` with no output and wedges the
session permanently; the same command piped through `cat` returns everything.
Reproduced on both macOS and Debian, so it is the harness rather than a platform
quirk, and it matters because infra work is sudo work.
The workaround goes in CLAUDE.md where a session will actually hit it. The
proper fix is a protocol change — run the command through a pipe and read
PIPESTATUS — and is deliberately not attempted here.
Also records where the dsh work stopped: the package is updated but the running
web process is still on the old code, left alive on purpose because there is no
LaunchAgent to restart it into.
The alias requirement is gone for anything inside 10.0.0.0/8, so the tooling
note no longer tells sessions to add an alias first — that instruction was
about to send people back to raw ssh, which is what it was written to prevent.
Records the SureFire carve-out and why it is host-specific rather than a /24:
pfi-pve shares 10.250.250.0/24 with two tenant machines, so a subnet deny would
have taken our own hypervisor with it.
Records the operator's ruling that esh-macbook-air is regenerable surface and is
not to be backed up, so a future session finds a settled decision rather than
re-discovering an unbacked-up machine and re-raising it.
Also records the real blocker on the MCP server, found by trying to use it: it
addresses hosts only by exact ssh_config alias, and 15 of the 28 hosts in
servers/ have no alias at all. The allowlist is not what limits coverage, so
widening it would not have helped.
