Kernel-only release from a clean archive of v0.0.12; everything else is
carried from 452a592. Offline backup first; READY in 0.74 s, schema 13, apps
up 7. The existing hermes runtime gained process = python3 and the one-off
task_argv (hermes -z, --accept-hooks, no --yolo), and its argv moved to the
launcher's chat form. check-config valid; config_gen 21489c1f0fff3c10.
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.
Built in-session from a clean archive of the tag (kernel, connector base and
terminal wheels; everything else carried from 7f95e54). Ran after the 21:30
vzdump of VM 111, with an offline backup of the schema 12 database first.
check-config accepted the new [tasks] table and the tasks artifact mapping
(host nh3-svos, the terminal's artifact_host). Kernel READY in 1.17 s,
schema 13, apps up 7. nh3-dev's current moved to 452a592; svos-terminal 0.0.4
registered manifest revision 4, which was pinned without a card.
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.
Satellite agents get their OWN key under the infra-ops identity instead of a
copy of the fleet key, so one can be revoked by deleting a line. The list is
playbooks/files/infra-ops-satellite-keys (target short hostname + public key).
bootstrap-infra-ops-user.yaml now writes the fleet key plus that host's
satellite keys, exactly, so a re-run keeps listed keys and removes unlisted
ones. satellite-1 (SHA256:KEFUjceF...) is authorized on esh-nas only (Prime,
2026-10-13); the playbook re-run there installed both keys, and the fleet key
still logs in with sudo.
Prime's ruling 2026-10-13. esh-nas (10.0.50.50) had no infra-ops user, so key
login was refused. The same steps as bootstrap-infra-ops-user.yaml (uid/gid
850, fleet key, NOPASSWD sudoers with log_output and the BULK_DATA carve-out,
visudo-validated) ran inside the container from its host. Verified with a
direct ssh infra-ops@10.0.50.50 and sudo -n whoami = root.
A user unit's default PATH lacks ~/.cargo/bin, so every zellij call from
app-terminal failed to launch (rc 127 under the unit's environment), and the app
reported degraded from the U13 cutover on. With PATH set, the kernel logged
app-terminal up at 15:56:40Z; the pinned manifest is unchanged and no card was
raised.
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.
The vendor shim silently trims state at 32,000 tokens; the admission proxy is
what turns the seat contract into a loud refusal, so it must front the shim in
any deployment. Committing it with the Amendment 1 confirmation driver so
executing the swap does not depend on a bench scratch dir surviving.
Admission via thin wrapper (vendor shim unmodified; no shim config knob exists).
Gate re-run clean at every depth with usage honest; 16q32k warm 2,033 ms;
4x concurrent 16q32k peak 15,566 MiB vs 16,847 budget; boot matrix replaces the
unmeasured 280 s figure (cold median 153.6 s, warm-cache saves nothing, eager
slower). Wyrd itemised: 8 diffs, h2o net -2. h2o passes every Supersede clause
under the accepted 32,000-token refusing contract; seat swap is the operator's
call.
First bench-first run (prereg brokkr-smithy 2e0539f). H2O-lightning-4b is a
short-route candidate: public 205, battery CI lower bound +0.0023, fits the
GPU 1 budget at every shape — but its shipped shim silently trims state at
~32k and fails the long-input gate by the letter. Clef-flash lateral in both
precisions (Wyrd -0.0333 in both; bf16 does not fit at rest). RSI-Jev v6.1
loses on decision quality (public -23, Wyrd -0.0548). INC holds the seat.
Torn down; weights kept (model-runtime 116 GB).
Measured: bf16 ladder across six sizes, calibrated 32k shape cells with
O(q*state) wire accounting, bs=1 memory/latency curve, Engine-vs-vendor
fidelity rows, Stage 4 control quant trio (battery monotone in weight error),
flash calibrated-NVFP4 with survive rules applied by the letter, and the
Amendment 2 GPU 1 budget (16,851 MiB) re-read against every fit clause.
Halted before the INC bench-copy arms and mini/27B/small-size NVFP4 arms;
stated plainly. Weights kept pending operator ruling (80 GB).
