- `[2026-07-08]` **RP-SEAT CAMPAIGN CLOSED — char-rp = Magidonia-24B-v4.3 (128K), char-rp-reasoning = Deckard-PKD
  Qwen3.5-27B (256K); both GGUF/llama.cpp on ana-ml2 GPU0 alongside gen (35B-A3B, util 0.37), ~4G GPU0 margin.**
  Arc: (1) replaced broken Angel NVFP4 with Magidonia prose + QwQ-RpR-v4 reasoning (b268f93); (2) max-context via q8_0
  KV (f570604); (3) canonical samplers for all 4 gateway seats, dvalin-derived + char-rp A/B-tuned (aac4bcf);
  (4) rebalanced gen 0.40→0.37 to fund char-rp 128K (f49c4e4); (5) RE-A/B'd the reasoning seat (operator wanted a
  DRY-tolerant model): **Deckard WON** on brokkr's frozen scorer (composite 2.176, 0/30 loops, 0/30 refusals) over
  RpR-v4 (3.716, 1/30 loop), Pantheon-Reasoning (1.383 but 7/30 refusals), Snowdrop+Gembrain (llama.cpp
  template-incompat) — deployed (5f79b40); (6) Deckard→256K (41305bf); (7) dvalin CONFIRMED Deckard samplers = the
  live A/B set is canonical (4954ca0). **GATE LESSON: a llama.cpp reasoning seat needs a STOCK template that natively
  opens `<think>`/`enable_thinking` (Qwen3.x/QwQ pass; ChatML + Gemma-4 fail) — no monkeypatching. INFRA: llama-swap
  b8840 can't load Qwen3.6/Gemma-4 archs → `ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-cuda` (pulled on ana-ml2).**
