The board's card width changed at every group boundary because `columns:` was
being tuned per group under the 2026-08-18 "columns = member count" rule. That
rule is retired: it sets `lg:grid-cols-N` for one group, so it fixes that
group's CARD WIDTH, not its density. Measured on the live board, Notes rendered
a single 1464px card, News and Media 728px, Eval & Retrieval 286px, everything
else 360px. All 20 groups are now `columns: 4` and every card renders at 360.
`.service-name` reserved a 78px status gutter with `padding-right` and relied
on `overflow: hidden` to hold it, but overflow clips at the PADDING box — the
gutter was spill room the title printed straight through. Six cards on the AI
tab rendered their name underneath their own status pill, measured by testing
the title text node's box against the status cluster's. The intended ellipsis
never fired either: it is painted by whichever block's own line overflows, and
that is the anonymous box around the bare title text node, which does not carry
`overflow`. The gutter holds by wrapping now, and the description opts back out
of it with a negative margin since the pill only ever covers the first line.
Scriberr's `homepage.group=AI Systems` named a group absent from `layout:`, so
it had no `tab:` and rendered on all four tabs — the same defect as UltraSeedbox
in 2026-08-18, arriving this time from a container label. Relabelled to
`AI - Audio Tools`, where the other ASR seats already live. The
`homepage.group=AI Systems` sample in the repo-root CLAUDE.md was the source of
the name and now carries the constraint, plus the fact that a labelled
container is discovered from any of the five configured engines and must not
also be listed in services.yaml.
Also: descriptions clamped to three lines so a five-line outlier stops dragging
its row 50px taller than its neighbours; icon ramp overridden off slate-400 ->
slate-700, which was sinking the bottom half of every glyph into the card fill;
bookmark groups and Jellyfin's trailing stream rows brought into the card and
eyebrow vocabulary; group gap 10px -> 22px now that width no longer separates
them.
The icon override sits on `html[class]`, not `:root`: Homepage sets the same
variables on `.theme-slate`, which is on the <html> element, and a class beats
`:root` on the same element.
Verified with Playwright against the live board — per-group card width, card
height spread, and a geometric title-vs-status collision check, before and
after. Before/after captures: http://10.100.10.50:8090/b/homepage-relayout/
Scriberr builds each model backend's Python environment with uv at
container start. uv's default link mode reflinks or hardlinks out of
its cache, which fails on this overlayfs over ZFS combination and
reports it as a failure to clone a metadata file with errno 11,
resource temporarily unavailable. The wording points nowhere near the
cause.
The damage was partial and therefore easy to miss: WhisperX and
PyAnnote came up fine and the application served normally, while the
Parakeet and Sortformer backends were quietly absent. Setting
UV_LINK_MODE to copy trades a little disk and build time for
environments that actually materialise, and the occurrence count for
that error is zero on the following start.
The knob is exposed through the environment so it can be moved back to
the default if a future host does support reflinks.
Scriberr transcribes audio and video locally with WhisperX and
speaker diarization, and it lands on ana-ml2 rather than ana-docker
because the work is GPU-shaped: ana-docker offers eight cores already
shared with fifty containers and thirty-seven gigabytes of disk,
against ninety-six cores, terabytes on /tank and idle capacity on
GPU1. The reservation names device 1 explicitly, since GPU0 is fully
committed to the gen seat, and the container is confirmed to see that
card alone.
The image is built from source, which is not a preference. These are
Blackwell cards at sm_120; the published CUDA image covers Pascal
through Ada only, and the blackwell image the upstream README
documents has never been published at all. The path upstream actually
ships for sm_120 is Dockerfile.cuda.12.9, carrying CUDA 12.9 and cu128
torch, so that is what gets built. The compose header says so, because
the obvious cleanup is to swap in the published image and that would
silently drop the deployment to CPU.
Two configuration details are load-bearing and documented where
someone would go to change them. The application runs as uid 10001
rather than the usual 1000: that Dockerfile moves its user aside for
Ubuntu 24.04's own uid-1000 account and chowns /app accordingly, while
the entrypoint's remapping covers only the data directories, so at
1000 the process cannot open its database and restarts forever behind
a SQLite error that reads as though the machine were out of memory.
Secure cookies stay off while the service is reached over plain HTTP,
or sessions are dropped by the browser and login appears to loop for
no visible reason.
Storage is bind-mounted onto /tank because model weights run to
several gigabytes and the root pool on that host is nearly full.
Also adds the scriberr service alias to internal DNS, following the
existing alias convention so consumers name the service rather than
the box.
