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.
Temporary diagnostic for the class of bug story 83ff386d47c6 hit
2026-05-23: POST /generation/start returned 202, then total silence
— no log, no DB state update, py-spy showed event loop idle with no
GenerationRunner frame anywhere. Strongly suggests a created_task()
result not held → GC'd → silent destroy.
PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1 emits "Task was destroyed but it is pending"
and "Task exception was never retrieved" warnings to stderr; that
should distinguish lost-task from cancelled-task on the next attempt.
Per skaldsong-dev's note, remove once they wire proper task-exception
capture upstream.

The compose set SKALDSONG_DB_PATH + SKALDSONG_RUNS_DIR, but skaldsong's
app reads SKALDSONG_HOST_SQLITE_PATH + SKALDSONG_HOST_RUNS_ROOT (per
its Dockerfile ENV defaults). Our values were orthogonal — the app
fell back to Dockerfile defaults pointing at /app/data/... which is
NOT bind-mounted, so every --force-recreate wiped the SQLite DB +
runs/ tree along with the ephemeral container layer.
Surfaced by skaldsong-dev (althing thread 01KS4DPF6SXTBP4Q360JZVWPNT)
after the operator noticed stories vanishing on every deploy.
Confirmed on ana-docker: container had a 40KB skaldsong-ui.db sitting
in /app/data/, while /opt/docker/conf/skaldsong/db/ on the host was
empty. Rescued the live DB to the bind-mount target before recreate.
Fix: rename env vars to match what the app reads. Bind targets stay
at /app/state/{db,runs} (parent-dir mount for SQLite WAL+SHM).
Two corrections surfaced by the first end-to-end deploy that didn't
land in the pre-flight align:
- SPA static assets are at /app/spa, not /app/web/dist (Dockerfile
COPYs the SvelteKit build output flat into /app/spa, not into
/app/spa/dist). Mismatch caused /health to 500 with
"RuntimeError: File at path /app/web/dist/index.html does not
exist."
- SKALDSONG_HOST_CORS_ORIGINS must be a JSON array literal in .env.
Pydantic-settings parses complex-typed env vars via json.loads();
bare URL string fails first-boot with SettingsError.
Container now reports Up (healthy) on ana-docker; /health 200.
skaldsong-dev surfaced three contract corrections before the first
deploy:
- WORLDTREE_TOKEN (outbound HTTP Bearer) was missing — separate code
path from SKALDSONG_BIFROST_JWT_KEY (inbound HS256 verify) but
same secret value.
- WORLDTREE_BASE_URL replaces SKALDSONG_WORLDTREE_API_URL (the
former is what the app actually reads).
- SKALDSONG_HOST_WIZARD_AGENT_ID was missing entirely — must pin to
skaldsong:wizard-v2 to inherit the existing Worldtree agent slot;
blank would burn another slot of the 50-per-key Heimdall quota.
Registry-pull pattern matching Worldtree: CI on vh/skaldsong builds and
pushes gitea.phasefinal.com/vh/skaldsong:<sha>, this playbook pulls +
recreates. SHA-pin only per current preference; no :latest moving-tag
advance yet (revisit once /health exercises Worldtree + Kokoro reach).
Host port 8300 (host) → 8000 (container). Persistent state under
/opt/docker/conf/skaldsong/{db,runs}.
Bifrost endpoint URL 10.250.50.70:8300 will need a paired
BIFROST_CLIENT_ALLOWED_HOSTS update on corviduo-dev Worldtree at first
deploy.
