Prime's directive via pewpew-dev. Images are built on nh3-dev from a clean
archive of vh/pewpewstudio (26bba3c; hamr over gitea SSH via BuildKit --ssh)
and loaded on nh3-docker. Caddy serves the SPA and strips /api/ in front of
the backend. It refuses foreign Host headers inside a route block, because the
Host rewrite would otherwise bypass the backend's TrustedHost. The DB, assets
and the app-edited shop config live on named volumes inside nh3-docker's
nightly vzdump. Verified: SPA, /api/machines and /api/generate/workflows 200;
foreign Host 400.
Prime ruled albok subsumes note intake (1530). The wing is like personal/notes
(albok-personal 1511, not service-restricted); health reads 7 wings ready.
Nemi's token was re-minted with read+write on the new wing and vaulted over
albok/token-nemi. /srv/nemi/inbox is lkraven:nemi-drop 2770 with a default ACL,
plus u:lkraven:rx on /srv/nemi, so Nemi reaches it from lkraven's user manager,
whose groups predate nemi-drop. Both paths are verified by the playbook.
Prime (18:05, via albok-dev): go to h2o and fix forward, do not fall back to
INC. albok-dev removed the chapter margin first (the two published nonfiction
titles declared visibility: public). switch-to-h2o.sh ran 18:05:13, h2o healthy
18:07:40; /health at the pin, /decide/shared 200, 422 over the cap, inline image
answers, image URL refused by the shim and by vLLM's media-domain backstop.
rollback-to-inc.sh stays on the host as an artifact only.
The v2 walk on h2o (17:05-17:45) held notes at 0 adult but moved two margins
past albok-dev's pre-named rollback line: library/nonfiction adult 0 -> 79 (one
textbook chapter at 0.531 on the book profile, INC 0.438, with 77 concepts
inheriting) and fleet/memory personal 6 -> 18. rollback-to-inc.sh ran 17:47:46,
INC healthy 17:48:11. compose.yaml is INC again.
Prime's CI fix A. ana-docker's runner sits on HDD mirrors with no SLOG; synced
8 KiB writes measured ~34 ms there vs ~2.7 ms on nh3-docker (same probe, one run,
n=3 each). Repos opt in with runs-on: nh3-docker; the runner carries no
pfi-fleet label. Its config is tighter because nh3-docker also runs NH3 DNS and
the post office: docker_host '-' (verified absent in the job, present on the
ana-docker baseline), capacity 1, jobs capped at 4 GiB / 6 CPUs, a network per
job. The deploy playbook takes runner_config; each runner's homepage name is
its runner name.
Prime ruled the cutover ("do it", 16:40, via albok-dev) after the judge's
note question was re-fitted (albok-nemi 0.1.18). switch-to-h2o.sh ran 17:02:23,
the GPU 1 gate passed, h2o healthy 17:04:54. Checks on :8033: /health at the
pin, /decide/shared 200, 422 over the cap, inline image answers, image URL
refused by the shim, vLLM media-domain backstop refuses (400). compose.yaml is
h2o again; rollback-to-inc.sh stays the one-step way back.
Prime (via albok-dev): understand why h2o failed and re-fit the judge. One
vLLM on GPU 3 behind two fronts: :8034 with the shim's yes/no floor at 0.801
exactly as the cutover ran (same judge stamp), :8035 with SHIM_NOUL_FLOOR=0 and
a distinct stamp (h2o-lightning-4b+noul-floor-0). Both refuse image URLs; the
vLLM --allowed-media-domains backstop is now verified (400, no fetch).
albok-dev withdrew the judge sign-off on fleet-scale evidence and brokkr
concurred: over 10,841 texts judged by both models, h2o flagged 242 adult at
0.5 against INC's 88, and no threshold reproduces INC's set. rollback-to-inc.sh
ran 14:03:28, INC healthy 14:03:56, /decide/shared smoke 200 x3.
compose.yaml is INC again; the h2o compose is kept as compose.h2o.yaml with
switch-to-h2o.sh (GPU 1 free-memory gate, falls back to INC). It now carries
Prime's inline-images-only setting: LIGHTNING_IMAGE_URLS=off on the front
(verified live: an https image URL is refused before any fetch, inline images
still answer) and vLLM --allowed-media-domains media.invalid as a backstop.
rollback-to-inc.sh no longer leaves timestamped compose copies behind.
The :8033 seat now serves h2oai/h2o-lightning-4b @ b43f759b on vLLM 0.30.0 with
byte-pinned KV (4.48 GiB, 135,558 tokens) behind services/h2o-decision-front:
32k refuse-not-trim admission, the seat's bearer token, and /decide +
/decide/shared translated onto /v1/systemone for albok-nemi's judge. URL, port,
token and stack name are unchanged. INC down 13:08:18, h2o healthy 13:11:27.
Post-checks on the live seat: /health at the pinned revision; JevBench public
205/231 (= bench); 422 over the cap; 16q at the cap warm 2.0-2.16 s; seat peak
16,164 MiB under 4 concurrent 16q x 32k calls against a 16,847 budget.
compose.inc.yaml + rollback-to-inc.sh restore Intern-Decision-4B in one step.
The temporary GPU 3 eval seat (stacks/h2o-eval) is down.
Prime's call via brokkr: h2o-lightning-4b replaces the intern-decision seat once
albok-dev re-validates Nemi's sensitivity judge on it. services/h2o-decision-front
builds on infra-hermes's admission proxy (30f36f2): 32,000-token refuse-not-trim,
the seat's bearer token, and intern-decision-serve's /decide/shared mapping onto
/v1/systemone so the judge runs unchanged. stacks/h2o-eval serves it on GPU 3
:8034 exactly as benched (vLLM 0.30.0 + unmodified vendor shim; weights hashed
against HF b43f759b). INC keeps serving production on GPU 1.

compose.yaml.pre-0.1.17 beside it on the host).
Prime, 2026-10-09: "vh gets albok-everything". playbooks/nh3-albok-vh-viewer.yaml
joins vh to albok-read, albok-personal and albok-feedback on nh3-albok and
authorizes his four Macs' public keys for vh; verified at a fresh login that
every wing's .browse/ lists and reads.
The withdrawal harness gains a macOS driver (run-mac.sh: every mountable FUSE
backend, a read-only smoke of the real wings, results copied back), env
overrides for a non-container client, and summarize.py. Sanity-checked as vh
from the Linux container before staging.
Replica of a browse view on nh3-albok, Linux sshfs 3.7.3 client in an ephemeral
container on nh3-dev, N=5 per condition. Fresh open of a never-opened child
through a cached listing: ENOENT 5/5 with sshfs defaults and 5/5 with hour-long
client caches. Null control (no rename) opens 5/5; held fd and failed-rename
positive controls read 5/5. Replica removed afterwards.
Also closes the post-clear checks in persistent-memory: fv-ml1 GPU 0/1 plateau,
nh3-nas usage, and the mislabelled sfsrv-ana pre-pbs4 item.
Pinned to gitea.phasefinal.com/pfi/albok-service:0.1.16@sha256:b28559ec782f1ce93e89c5eb55c7418561667dde38ff819bb18bb53e2d1f2ddf,
deployed by albok-dev at 1943 (healthy in 20 s; compose.yaml.pre-0.1.16 beside it on the host).
Verified 2026-10-06 for comfy-dev: the gateway keeps no request or response
content. A canary sent through 'gen' appears in none of SpendLogs' text columns,
LiteLLM's container log, any ana-docker container log, or flash-next's log
(positive controls hit on the same stores). In 24h, 0 of 281,432 spend rows
carried messages, response or proxy_server_request. Langfuse is retired, there
are no DB-stored callbacks, and LiteLLM_ErrorLogs is empty. The per-request
no-log flag skips third-party callbacks but not the proxy's own spend-log
callback (v1.97 source), so the guarantee is this setting. Comment-only change;
the live file was updated in place with no restart.
HF_HOME, TORCH_HOME and NLTK_DATA now point under /app/whisperx-env (the
/tank bind mount). Before, ~6 GB of models sat in the container layer and
every recreate threw them away. The cache was copied across (98/2/78 files,
apparent sizes identical).
HF_TOKEN is now a placeholder. Measured: with an invalid token, cached gated
pyannote models still load (huggingface_hub falls back to the cache on the 401),
and public models still download (HTTP 200). Scriberr only checks that the token
is non-empty. Re-verified on GPU 3: pyannote community-1 and WhisperX+3.1
diarization both exit 0 from the /tank cache with no downloads.
Scriberr: pyannote's diarization models are gated, and Scriberr had no Hugging
Face token, so every diarized job died at the diarize step (WhisperX after a full
CPU transcription). HF_TOKEN now passes through compose; the value is only in the
host .env (vault fv-ml1/hf-token). The separate pyannote env had torchcodec 0.16
(needs torch >=2.11/CUDA 13) beside torch 2.8, so pyannote 4 had no
AudioDecoder. Pinned to 0.7 by hand on the live env; patch 0003 makes it
durable at the next rebuild. WhisperX's adapter defaults to cpu/small/float32,
now documented. Both paths verified on GPU 3 with a real multi-speaker clip.
pbs-nh3: the backups-mirror prune job now keeps the primary's history
(last 3, daily 14, weekly 8, monthly 12, yearly 5). Dry-run: keep 738,
remove 3,194 across 32 groups; first run at the job's 00:00.

Layout: GPU 0 = cyberprev (KV 16 -> 15 GiB, 1.29x), erp-seat (moved from
GPU 1, KV 8.49 -> 5.5 GiB, 1.32x), voices (ctx 8,192 -> 40,960, its native
maximum, KV 6 GiB, 1.07x), coder (moved from GPU 1, ctx 16,384 -> 32,768,
the card maximum, 2.35x), parakeet-nemo. GPU 1 = gen-small (moved from
GPU 0, 5.5 GiB, 1.76x), meromero-rp (22 GiB, 1.32x), intern-decision.
Sizing rule: KV >= 1.25x max context rounded up to 0.5 GiB, checked against
7 days of LiteLLM traffic and the engines' own KV-usage logs. Each card keeps
spare memory for its bursty tenant (parakeet's cap on GPU 0, intern-decision's
32k call on GPU 1). YaRN extensions are not enabled: they do not fit, and the
Qwen cards warn static YaRN degrades short prompts.
gen-small gets --override-generation-config max_new_tokens 32768. It applies
only to requests that omit max_tokens (vLLM get_max_tokens) and answers 9
runaway ~260k-token replies in 7 days; the longest normal reply was 6,357.
Applied with playbooks/fv-ml1-rebalance-20261005.yaml (boot-check guard and
health/KV verification per seat); all nine seats healthy, gateway smoke
tests pass.
meromero-rp sized its KV from --gpu-memory-utilization, and vLLM's profile
counts co-booting neighbours as its own non-torch memory. Three boots gave
20.37 / 26.74 / 29.04 GiB of KV, and the 2026-10-05 Docker-move restart cut
GPU 1 free memory to 3,981 MiB, below intern-decision's 32k-token budget.
Coder read negative KV on every co-boot. Both are now pinned, so util only
gates the boot check (meromero util 0.52 -> 0.47, just above its footprint).
GPU 0 plateaus at ~60 MiB free 1-2 days after a boot (Beszel), so
gen-small's KV drops to 5.5 GiB (461,215 tokens, 1.76x) and parakeet-nemo
stays on GPU 0 with room for its 3,840 MiB cap. GPU 3 stays clear.
Applied with playbooks/fv-ml1-kv-pin-20261005.yaml: GPU 1 free 3,981 ->
11,801 MiB, GPU 0 495 -> 5,039 MiB right after boot; all nine seats healthy.
The db/ and runs/ bind mounts are root:docker 2775 since the 2026-09-14 tree
normalisation; the app runs as 1000:1000, so SQLite could not create its journal
and every write returned 500 (found at v0.40.2).
HunyuanVideo-Foley, MMAudio and ControlFoley load their Hugging Face dependencies
from pinned snapshots staged on the model store. Without this they look in the
container's ephemeral cache and download again on every recreate. Requested by
comfy-dev; HF_HUB_OFFLINE deliberately not set.
Since skaldsong v0.39.0 the structured pipeline passes call the LiteLLM
gateway directly; with no key every story generation fails 401 at its first
pass. Operator ruling 2026-10-05: the shared all-agents key until Skaldsong
v1.0 final, then a project-scoped key. The stack passes an explicit
environment list, so the .env line alone does not reach the container.
