- `[2026-07-14]` **char-rp-reasoning seat: Deckard-PKD → NEO-CODE = Heretic2-Thinking (Qwen3.6-27B)** — R36 gate PASSED (tools 0.967, #355 runaway ELIMINATED). #355 was MODEL-level (Deckard emitted qwen3_coder XML malformed → mangled args → retry-runaway), NOT the reasoning-budget bug; NEO-CODE emits it clean. Custom llama.cpp KEPT (qwen3_coder parse — stock b8840 predates it — + PR#25544). Committed f960a73; full record auto-memory [[charrp-custom-llamacpp-pr25544]].
