Every fv-ml1 link on the Homepage dashboard was broken. Measured against the
live dashboard API before the fix: 16 entries pointing at the dead 10.250.50.54
and zero at the live 10.251.50.54, covering gen, M.O.G.-SEC, Scriberr, Embed,
Rerank, Reward, Coder, Dockge and six dormant seats.
The miss was structural, not careless. fv-ml1-rename-sweep.sh works from an
allowlist assembled from files that mention the HOST, and a homepage.href label
mentions only an IP -- so every stack whose sole stale reference was a label
fell outside it. The allowlist now covers those 24 files, and records how to
derive the list next time (grep the old address, subtract history) rather than
enumerating from memory.
History is still untouched, and the exclusions are now written down with the
reason each one keeps the old address: recorded benchmark results, whose
base_url is part of a measurement's provenance; the one LiteLLM comment
preserving a retired hand-test endpoint; and the cutover runbooks, where the old
address is the subject matter.
Two bugs found while applying it, both fixed here:
- deploy-stack.sh rejected any stack name containing a dot, so qwen3.5-122b,
qwopus3.5-122b and mistral-medium-3.5 could not be deployed by the script at
all. The check exists to stop path traversal, which means rejecting ".." and
"/" -- not every dot. Traversal is now rejected explicitly and tested.
- stacks/scriberr/.env.example allowed CORS only from the dead IP and from
scriberr.ana.internal, which no longer resolves; the box is at the fv site
and DNS already carries scriberr.fv.internal. The live .env had both stale
origins, i.e. an allowlist with nothing reachable in it.
Host side, applied separately: canonical pushed for the 16 stacks whose only
difference from the host was this renumber, and an in-place address-only fix for
the nine whose host copy has genuinely drifted or has no canonical copy, so that
drift survives for a deliberate reconciliation instead of being clobbered. Every
compose.yaml on fv-ml1 now reads 10.251.50.54. The labels themselves only take
effect at container creation, so the running containers still need recreating.
Move the ~22-service flat "AI Systems" group off the Main tab into a new
four-tab layout (Main / AI / Infrastructure / Toolchain). The AI tab sorts
the inference fleet by function into seven groups:
AI - Inference gen, char-rp, char-rp-reasoning, Granite summarizer
AI - Eval & Retrieval Selene, Skywork Reward, Qwen3 rerank/embed, image-bench
AI - Gateways & Chat LiteLLM, Asset Engine, Gateway Chat, Open WebUI, ...
AI - Speech (TTS) Chatterbox Fast, Kokoro, mOrpheus
AI - Audio Tools Parakeet ASR, YT Voice Clipper
AI - Image & Media ComfyUI, Arbo
AI - Dormant stopped rollback seats + retired auditions
Relabel each stack's homepage.group so canonical stacks/ matches the live
containers on ana-ml2, ana-docker, and irv-ml1. Dormant stacks were refreshed
with `docker compose up --no-start` so they carry the new label while staying
stopped (compose-start rollback preserved). settings.yaml drives tab/order/
columns; services.yaml and README updated to the new scheme.
R36 gate (2026-07-14) validated NEO-CODE ships on all axes: tool-calling 0.967
(attach_tool 1.00, 0 runaways — #355 eliminated), prose genre-artifact-fine
(less clichéd than gen), refusal uncensored-as-spec + CSAM-clean.
#355 root cause was MODEL-level, not the reasoning-budget-forcing bug: Deckard
emitted Qwen's native qwen3_coder XML tool format malformed -> llama.cpp leaked
the closing tags into the arg value -> Bifrost attach_tool schema error -> retry
-> reasoning runaway to max_tokens. NEO-CODE emits the same native format cleanly
on the same seat/parser -> no schema error -> no runaway. The fix was the model
swap; there was never a wrong parser (the XML is Qwen3.5/3.6-native).
- reasoning seat: Deckard-PKD (Qwen3.5) -> NEO-CODE=Heretic2-Thinking (Qwen3.6-27B) Q5
- samplers: card defaults (temp 1.0 / top_p 0.95 / top_k 20 / min_p 0.0), DRY dropped
- ctx: 256K max; custom llama.cpp kept (qwen3_coder parse + PR#25544 belt-and-suspenders)
- persistent-memory ACTIVE 1 marked resolved
The char-rp-reasoning (Deckard) seat now runs llamacpp-charrp:custom-latest via a
new LLAMA_REASONING_IMAGE var (Magidonia char-rp stays on stock — no reasoning bug).
Fixes Worldtree #355 at the source (budget multi-terminator handles Qwen3.5's
<tool_call> reasoning end-tag). Live 2026-07-13: Deckard loads on Blackwell, serves
coherent, reasoning bounds at the 400 budget. Rollback via .env LLAMA_REASONING_IMAGE.
Operator wanted a reasoning-RP model that tolerates DRY (RpR-v4 forbids rep/DRY -> a
1/30 loop tail). Ran the full A/B on brokkr's 30-prompt D1 suite (content-only, slop-scored):
- Deckard-PKD (Qwen3.5-27B, DavidAU creative tune) WON: 0/30 loops, 0/30 refusals, clean
managed reasoning (native Qwen3.5 <think>/enable_thinking), DRY-tolerant, ~57 tok/s,
runs on the base llama-swap b8840 image. -> now the char-rp-reasoning seat (:8018).
- RpR-v4: 0 refusals but 1/30 loop (no-DRY). Pantheon-27B: clean slop but 7/30 explicit
refusals + needs the newer ggml-org/llama.cpp image (Qwen3.6 won't load on b8840).
Snowdrop + Gembrain (Gemma-4): floored (llama.cpp can't manage their reasoning without
the vetoed template hacks). Losers kept on disk as alternates.
- char-rp (Magidonia) unchanged; gen unchanged. gateway char-rp-reasoning -> Deckard
sampler (temp 1.0/top_p 0.95/top_k 40/min_p 0.05; DRY server-side).
char-rp -> TheDrummer Magidonia-24B-v4.3 Q6_K (Magistral prose, ~65 tok/s,
zero refusal, tight POV) via llama.cpp (:8016).
char-rp-reasoning -> ArliAI QwQ-32B-RpR-v4 Q5_K_M (abliterated managed reasoning,
~52 tok/s, reasoning surfaces in reasoning_content) via llama.cpp (:8018).
- New canonical stack stacks/char-rp-gguf/ (llama-server x2, GPU0-pinned, ~86/97G
co-resident with gen). GGUF sidesteps the vLLM-NVFP4 + Mistral-tokenizer traps that
killed the Angel serve. Never Ollama.
- Best-of-breed per seat: no single dense 24-32B is both an elite non-thinking prose
seat AND a clean managed-reasoning seat on llama.cpp (Magidonia [THINK] boundary is
loose; Cydonia-R1 <think> runs away; QwQ is template-managed). Pantheon-Reasoning-27B
stays rejected (re-censors in <think>; RpR-v4 abliterated reasoning is the fix).
- Gateway rewired: char-rp->:8016, char-rp-reasoning->:8018, Mistral/QwQ samplers,
dropped the Qwen enable_thinking kwarg. One-model Magidonia fallback documented.
- Retired the ms32-24b-angel stack.
