Two related changes shipped together. The stack rename is independent
but adding `vllm-reward` to the existing `vllm-qwen3` would have made
that name actively misleading.
**Rename:** `stacks/vllm-qwen3/ → stacks/vllm/`. Updated all in-repo
references (README.md root, servers/ana-ml2/, stacks/llama-swap/,
configs/restic/ana-ml2/, docs/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md). Two
intentional history mentions retained (servers/ana-ml2 + stacks/vllm
README).
**Add `vllm-reward` service:** serves Skywork-Reward-V2-Llama-3.1-8B-AWQ
on port 8003. The AWQ output is a locally-quantized model (not from HF),
so bind-mounts `/tank/aimodels/llm:/local-models:ro` rather than the
shared HF cache. Model config.json declares LlamaForSequenceClassification
which vLLM's pooling runner picks up automatically — produces a single
reward score per input via /classify.
**Flag note:** the user's spec listed `--task classify`, but vLLM 0.19.1
deprecated --task in favor of --runner pooling (model architecture in
config.json drives the classification head). Compose uses --runner
pooling with a comment explaining the substitution.
**GPU memory:** no rebalance needed — production had already tuned
EMBED/RERANK down from 0.40 to 0.20 each (canonical .env.example now
matches reality). Adding REWARD at 0.30 totals 0.70, leaving ~14 GB
headroom on the 48 GB Ada.
**Server-side:** brought existing vllm-qwen3 down, mv'd
/opt/docker/compose/vllm-qwen3 → /opt/docker/compose/vllm, appended
REWARD_* lines to existing .env (preserving API_KEY/HF_TOKEN), deployed
new compose via scripts/deploy-stack.sh, brought all 3 services up.
**Smoke tests:**
- /health on 8001/8002/8003 → 200
- /v1/models on 8003 → lists Skywork/Skywork-Reward-V2-Llama-3.1-8B-AWQ
with max_model_len 16384
- /classify with a sample conversation → returns LABEL_0 with prob 0.9999
(single-output regression-style reward score, expected shape for a
reward model)
Bundles the post-2026-04-21 work that built out the two-layer backup
architecture (PBS for VM images + restic for file/DB), plus the cross-
site mirror and the disaster-recovery runbook.
- configs/restic/esh-docker-vm/profiles.yaml: drop the obsolete
*_offen_backup_data exclude (offen sidecars retired fleet-wide
2026-04-23; restic now covers the equivalent scope directly).
- configs/restic/esh-vm-db/: new profile for the dedicated DB VM
(10.0.50.60), with pre-backup pg_dumpall + mongodump hooks.
- configs/rsync/: ana-nas → nh3-nas (04:00 daily, runs as lkraven)
and nh3-nas → ana-nas (05:00 daily, runs as root because DSM
rest-server-nh3 writes mode-400 files only root can read).
- docs/runbooks/pbs-deployment.md: 9-phase PBS rollout runbook,
refined during the 2026-04-22 deployment with per-hypervisor
namespaces, NFSv3 + ZFS-case-insensitivity workaround, and the
Synology syno_acl flatten step.
- docs/runbooks/disaster-recovery.md: blast-radius runbook ordered
Tier 0 → 5 (ana-nas → hypervisors → Docker hosts → VMs → specialty);
references incident memory + recovery-step playbooks per consumer.
