Summary

  • Qualified cyankiwi/Qwen3.8-27B-AWQ-INT4 on vLLM v0.27.1 live against the shared R9700; the new RDNAHybridW4A16LinearKernel closes the dense-INT4 decode-kernel gap that lost the June vLLM-vs-SGLang evaluation on this hardware.
  • Promotes qwen38-27b-vllm to production, parks (not deletes) qwen36-27b-sglang for rollback, drops the throwaway benchmark manifest.
  • Repoints the qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases at the new backend, keeping the alias names for downstream compat (karakeep, omniroute hardcode them).
  • MTP speculative decoding deliberately omitted: verdict-final per prior investigation — wedges to ~0.2 tok/s under concurrent tool-calling traffic on this hardware.

KV cache sizing

The KV pool was being derived from gpuMemoryUtilization, which left it at 3.22 GiB — 99,519 tokens, or 1.02x concurrency at 98000 context. A second full-length request had to queue behind the first. vLLM's own memory profiler reported 6.88 GiB as the ceiling that still fits on this card.

Setting --kv-cache-memory explicitly to 6 GiB (and raising gpuMemoryUtilization to 0.97, which now only has to admit weights + activations + that block rather than size KV itself) gives 187,945 tokens, 1.68x concurrency at 112000 context. Live GPU sits at 88% VRAM with ~3.9 GB free.

Context goes 98000 → 112000, covering Hermes' measured p100 (112K) so routine sessions stop truncating. maxInputTokens follows to 103808.

Measured concurrency sweep vs the SGLang 3.6 baseline:

conc Qwen 3.8 vLLM SGLang 3.6 baseline
C1 15.36 tok/s 14.96 tok/s +3%
C8 40.11 tok/s 36.24 tok/s +11%
C16 76.12 tok/s 34.49 tok/s +121%

Bug found while verifying: the L3 KV store was being deleted every run

The kv-offload guard's 160Gi free-space floor was never reachable on the qwen38 node — 500G disk with ~370G held by everything else, so df reported 131G free even with an empty store. Every run took the "below floor" branch and rm -rf'd the tier. Confirmed live:

avail: 128291444K (floor: 167772160K)
below floor, wiping the L3 store

The store was 4K at inspection. The tier reporting a 95.7% external prefix-cache hit rate was being wiped daily. Fixed by lowering the floor to a satisfiable 80Gi and evicting oldest-first (blocks are write-once, so mtime is a usable recency signal) walking 30/14/7/3/1/0 days and stopping as soon as it is back above the floor. Applied identically to qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml so the two copies cannot drift.

Note

The 80Gi floor is a judgement call — it is the largest round number this disk can actually satisfy. The original 160Gi was intended to protect rook-ceph's mon store; that protection is now thinner, but 160Gi bought no protection at all since it only ever produced a full wipe.

Review remarks addressed

  • No-op liveness probe → real /health check. The startup probe owns the load/compile window, so liveness only runs against a serving engine; slack thresholds (20 × 30s) keep a saturated GPU from being mistaken for a dead one.
  • Free-space floor enforced only periodically → still periodic, but now incremental rather than all-or-nothing, and hourly instead of daily. A quota-enforcing storage class is the real hard cap; it costs the L3 tier its local-disk latency, so it is deliberately not taken and is marked in-file.
  • MD022 on the handoff doc → doc deleted. It described a paused, unsafe live state (Flux suspended, production stopped) that no longer exists.

Breaking change

qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases now serve Qwen 3.8 via vLLM instead of Qwen 3.6 via SGLang. Max input context drops from 171808 to 103808 tokens.

Hermes' model.context_length has been set to 112000 (root + all seven profiles) to match what is served, and compression.threshold raised 0.7 → 0.9 — at 112K context the old 0.7 put the compression trigger at ~63K, below Hermes' own p90 of 94K, which would have fired a summary prefill on most sessions. The three documented prerequisites for a higher threshold (auxiliary.compression.model, timeout, abort_on_summary_failure) were verified in place first.

Warning

Review limit reached

@Tanguille, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 30 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

AI Automated Review (incremental)

Analysis engine: omniroute@http://litellm.ai.svc.cluster.local/v1 (openai)

Recommendation: Approve. The incremental delta (commit 7221746) is internally consistent and correct.

Change-by-change findings

  • qwen38-27b-vllm.yaml: maxModelLen raised 96000→98000 and a new --mamba-cache-dtype bfloat16 flag added. The comment correctly explains the conv-state cache is a separate pool from --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype, and that bfloat16 is the floor vLLM supports — consistent with the sibling qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml which already uses --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype bfloat16. The 98000 ceiling is below vLLM's stated ~100000 estimate, so it fits.
  • litellm/instance/models.yaml: both aliases' maxInputTokens updated 87808→89808, matching maxModelLen (98000) − maxOutputTokens (8192) = 89808 exactly. Comment updated to match.

must_check

  • Validate manifest against target cluster version: Not independently re-run this run; the PR test plan reports kubectl kustomize and apply --dry-run=server clean, and the delta only changes two scalar values plus one well-formed flag pair in an existing valid manifest. No structural change introduced.
  • Resource quota / limit changes: None. CPU/memory requests/limits, PVC sizes, and GPU budget are unchanged by the delta; only context length and cache dtype changed.

Standards Compliance

No documented convention violated. The no-op liveness probe (exec: ["true"]) carried over from qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml is a known, previously-flagged gap that fails safe (never kills the pod), not a blocker.

Unknowns or Needs Verification

  • The 98000 fit relies on the author's live boot measurement ("vLLM's own estimate tops out at 100000"); I could not re-verify the actual KV-pool headroom without a live cluster. If the offload tier + bfloat16 Mamba caches do not free enough room, the pod will fail to start — but readiness/startup probes would surface that immediately rather than silently misbehaving.
  • Flux resume/reconcile remains an open post-merge step per the PR body; not verifiable from the diff.

vLLM v0.27.1's new RDNAHybridW4A16LinearKernel closes the dense-INT4
decode-kernel gap that lost the June vLLM-vs-SGLang evaluation on this
hardware. Live-qualified against the SGLang 3.6 baseline: C1 +28%, C8
+14%, C16 +199%.

- promote qwen38-27b-vllm to production (replicas 1, parallelSlots 16,
  cudagraph_capture_sizes capped per vLLM #39010, MTP deliberately
  omitted per the tool-calling wedge)
- port the OffloadingConnector RAM+disk KV tier from qwen36-27b-vllm to
  raise context from 32768 to 96000 (Hermes hard-requires >=64K and
  measures p90 94K); vision stays loaded (unlike the qwen36 config's
  --language-model-only) since Hermes' auxiliary.vision uses it
- park qwen36-27b-sglang (replicas 0) instead of deleting, for rollback
- drop the throwaway qwen38-27b-benchmark manifest
- repoint the qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases at the new backend,
  keeping the alias names for downstream compat (karakeep, omniroute);
  maxInputTokens corrected to match the real ceiling

BREAKING CHANGE: qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases now serve
Qwen 3.8 via vLLM instead of Qwen 3.6 via SGLang. Max input context
drops from 171808 to 87808 tokens.
…ntext to 98K

--mamba-cache-dtype (conv-state pool, separate from the already-set
--mamba-ssm-cache-dtype which only covers SSM state) was left at the
model-config default. Setting it to bfloat16 too freed ~0.23 GiB,
raising the GPU KV pool from 99,809 to 107,428 tokens at the same
gpuMemoryUtilization ceiling — real headroom, not a quality tradeoff,
since bfloat16 is already the precision floor we accept elsewhere.

That let maxModelLen go from 96000 to 98000 (106000, closer to Hermes'
p95 of 106K, didn't fit — vLLM's own estimate at this budget tops out
at 100000). Updated Hermes' context_length and litellm's
maxInputTokens to match the real ceiling.
Deriving the KV pool from gpuMemoryUtilization left it at 3.22 GiB -- 99,519
tokens, or 1.02x concurrency at the old 98000 context, so a second full-length
request had to queue behind the first. vLLM's own memory profiler reported
6.88 GiB as the ceiling that still fits on this card.

Set --kv-cache-memory to 6 GiB and raise gpuMemoryUtilization to 0.97 (it now
only has to admit weights + activations + that block, not size KV itself).
Measured on the R9700: 187,945 KV tokens, 1.68x concurrency at 112000 context.

Context goes 98000 -> 112000, which covers Hermes' measured p100 so routine
sessions stop truncating; litellm maxInputTokens follows to 103808.

Concurrency sweep vs the SGLang 3.6 baseline:
  C1  15.36 vs 14.96 tok/s
  C8  40.11 vs 36.24 tok/s (+11%)
  C16 76.12 vs 34.49 tok/s (+121%)

Review remarks:
- Replace the no-op liveness probe with a real /health check. The startup probe
  owns the load window, so liveness only runs against a serving engine; slack
  thresholds (20x30s) keep a saturated GPU from being mistaken for a dead one.
- Run the kv-offload free-space guard hourly instead of daily. hostpath enforces
  no quota, so this job is the only control; hourly bounds the exposure to one
  hour of writes. Noted in-file that a quota-enforcing storage class is the real
  fix and why it is not taken.
- Drop the session handoff doc: it described a paused, unsafe live state
  (Flux suspended, production stopped) that no longer exists.

Fix the bench script's hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name, which made every request
fail silently after the cutover and report 0 tok/s.

…y run

The guard's 160Gi free-space floor was never reachable on the qwen38 node: the
disk is 500G with ~370G held by everything else, so df reported 131G free even
with an empty store. Every run therefore took the "below floor" branch and did
`rm -rf /kvoffload/*`. Confirmed live -- the last job logged
`avail: 128291444K (floor: 167772160K) / below floor, wiping the L3 store`
and the store is currently 4K. The tier that reports a 95.7% external prefix
hit rate was being deleted daily.

Two changes, applied identically to qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml so the copies cannot
drift:

- Floor 160Gi -> 80Gi, a value this disk can actually satisfy.
- Evict oldest-first instead of wiping: blocks are write-once, so mtime is the
  recency signal the old comment claimed did not exist. The cutoff walks
  30/14/7/3/1/0 days and stops as soon as it is back above the floor, so an
  overshoot costs a slice of cold blocks rather than weeks of warm ones. An
  unreachable floor now degrades to "keep the last 24h" instead of erroring.

This is what makes the hourly schedule safe; hourly plus wipe-all would have
destroyed the cache 24x a day. qwen36's guard moves to hourly to match.

Also from review:
- Fix the same hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name in spectest.py, not just
  concsweep.py -- spectest has no exception handling and would traceback rather
  than silently report 0. Both now take the model as an optional 2nd argv,
  matching the existing _port() convention instead of adding an env var.
- Trim comments that restated neighbouring comments or git history.

The eviction ladder exited 0 even after walking all the way down, so a
node whose free space was short for reasons other than this cache
reported a healthy guard run until it filled up.

The aliases now serve Qwen 3.8, so the 3.6 names were actively
misleading. Renamed atomically across every consumer that hardcodes
them: karakeep's image model, the PR-review action's fallback, the
proxy's omniroute fallback chain, and the alias definitions.

Hermes' own profile configs live in its PVC and were updated in the
same pass.

Two assumptions baked into these queries, both worth checking before trusting a panel: (1) rule names carry a window-derived suffix (Pyrra names the default 28d window's rules with a `4w` suffix, e.g. `up:count4w`); the `Window suffix` variable interpolates that suffix into every query, so select the entry matching your spec.slo.window (28d is the default). (2) Pyrra v0.10.1's kubernetes operator does not emit the objective/target as a queryable Prometheus series, so the `objective` dashboard variable is a manually-entered percentage (matching the selected SLO's spec.slo.objective) used only to compute error-budget-remaining locally; it is not read from Prometheus and will silently mismatch if left at its default while viewing a different SLO.",

qwen38-27b-vllm has taken all traffic, so the parked qwen36 sglang and
vllm manifests were dead weight -- and their kv-offload guard CronJobs
kept sweeping two multi-hundred-thousand-file stores hourly for models
that never serve.

Removes both manifests and everything left dangling by them: the
sglang-rdna4 Renovate rule (no image left to track), the sglang Grafana
dashboard link and its chart toggle, and the kustomization entries.

Comments naming the deleted services are repointed rather than dropped
-- muse-glimmer's scale-down condition named qwen36-27b-vllm, which
would have sent a future operator looking for a service that no longer
exists.

The 0.97 this shipped with broke a documented hard constraint: the R9700
is shared with Jellyfin transcoding, and the ~4.6 GB free at 0.875 is
that reservation, not slack. At 0.97 free VRAM measured 3.41 GB -- under
the reservation, so a concurrent transcode would contend or OOM.

The raise was also based on a misreading. vLLM logs 'skipped memory
profiling ... does not respect the gpu_memory_utilization config' when
--kv-cache-memory is set, so the KV pool never came from the 0.97 at
all; the explicit flag was doing the work by itself.

Sizing KV at 5 GiB instead keeps 112K context and measures 5.46 GB free
(0.86 GB over the reservation). It also benchmarks faster at the
concurrency end than the 0.97 build did: 53.93 vs 40.11 tok/s at 8,
100.82 vs 76.12 at 16.

The dashboard ship-list carried sglang-dashboard because production ran
SGLang. Removing the qwen36 lane dropped it without adding the vLLM
equivalent, which would have left the new engine with no dashboard at
all -- `only` is a static ship-list and does not follow what is
deployed.

operator.mode defaults to auto, so vllm-dashboard publishes only while a
vLLM InferenceService exists and self-suppresses instead of rendering
blank if qwen38 is ever parked.

litellm dashboard: drop the 542-line vendored copy for grafana.com
24965. It was forked because 24965's $job/$instance vars query
litellm_proxy_total_requests_metric_created, which litellm did not
export -- every panel came up blank. v1.97.0 exports that series (91
live) and all 10 metrics the dashboard queries; $model resolves too.
Revision pinned: no Renovate manager covers grafanaCom.

llmkube dashboards: list both runtimes we ship manifests for and let
operator.mode: auto decide. vllm follows qwen38, llamacpp follows
muse-glimmer, so parking or scaling either no longer needs an edit here.

`only` stays: auto gates only the three runtime dashboards, so dropping
it would ship four that render blank regardless -- verified pyrra is
absent (llmkube-slo) and we export drm_* not amdgpu_* (amd-gpu-
observability), plus quota/model-router need features we don't deploy.

- Drop 6 redundant `namespace: ai` declarations; the Flux Kustomization
  sets targetNamespace and three of four siblings already omit them.
- Drop --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype: it defaults to following
  --mamba-cache-dtype, so both flags plus five lines argued one setting.
- Remove two citations to files that do not exist in this repo
  (docs/hermes-config.md, project_vllm_toolcalling_specdecode.md); the
  numbers they backed are already inline.
- Lead the gpuMemoryUtilization comment with INERT rather than a HARD
  CEILING banner over a field vLLM logs that it ignores.
- Correct the memory comment: measured 13.3Gi steady state (8Gi of it
  tmpfs), not the inherited '24Gi base' figure.
- models.yaml no longer claims the rename was atomic with hermes --
  hermes' profiles live on its PVC and were edited by hand.
- Renovate: match the hf://repo@sha source form too, so the primary
  serving model's weights digest is tracked (3 of 5 models -> 5 of 5).
- Docs: engine-benchmarks still named SGLang as production, the bench
  recipe port-forwarded a deleted Service, and sglang-blockers described
  a retired setup in the present tense.

* feat(llmkube): add qwen 3.8 benchmark lane

* feat(llmkube)!: cut Qwen 3.8 over to production, retire Qwen 3.6 SGLang

vLLM v0.27.1's new RDNAHybridW4A16LinearKernel closes the dense-INT4
decode-kernel gap that lost the June vLLM-vs-SGLang evaluation on this
hardware. Live-qualified against the SGLang 3.6 baseline: C1 +28%, C8
+14%, C16 +199%.

- promote qwen38-27b-vllm to production (replicas 1, parallelSlots 16,
  cudagraph_capture_sizes capped per vLLM #39010, MTP deliberately
  omitted per the tool-calling wedge)
- port the OffloadingConnector RAM+disk KV tier from qwen36-27b-vllm to
  raise context from 32768 to 96000 (Hermes hard-requires >=64K and
  measures p90 94K); vision stays loaded (unlike the qwen36 config's
  --language-model-only) since Hermes' auxiliary.vision uses it
- park qwen36-27b-sglang (replicas 0) instead of deleting, for rollback
- drop the throwaway qwen38-27b-benchmark manifest
- repoint the qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases at the new backend,
  keeping the alias names for downstream compat (karakeep, omniroute);
  maxInputTokens corrected to match the real ceiling

BREAKING CHANGE: qwen-3.6/qwen-3.6-fast litellm aliases now serve
Qwen 3.8 via vLLM instead of Qwen 3.6 via SGLang. Max input context
drops from 171808 to 87808 tokens.

* perf(llmkube): shrink Mamba conv-state cache dtype, raise Qwen 3.8 context to 98K

--mamba-cache-dtype (conv-state pool, separate from the already-set
--mamba-ssm-cache-dtype which only covers SSM state) was left at the
model-config default. Setting it to bfloat16 too freed ~0.23 GiB,
raising the GPU KV pool from 99,809 to 107,428 tokens at the same
gpuMemoryUtilization ceiling — real headroom, not a quality tradeoff,
since bfloat16 is already the precision floor we accept elsewhere.

That let maxModelLen go from 96000 to 98000 (106000, closer to Hermes'
p95 of 106K, didn't fit — vLLM's own estimate at this budget tops out
at 100000). Updated Hermes' context_length and litellm's
maxInputTokens to match the real ceiling.

* perf(llmkube): size Qwen 3.8 KV pool explicitly, raise context to 112K

Deriving the KV pool from gpuMemoryUtilization left it at 3.22 GiB -- 99,519
tokens, or 1.02x concurrency at the old 98000 context, so a second full-length
request had to queue behind the first. vLLM's own memory profiler reported
6.88 GiB as the ceiling that still fits on this card.

Set --kv-cache-memory to 6 GiB and raise gpuMemoryUtilization to 0.97 (it now
only has to admit weights + activations + that block, not size KV itself).
Measured on the R9700: 187,945 KV tokens, 1.68x concurrency at 112000 context.

Context goes 98000 -> 112000, which covers Hermes' measured p100 so routine
sessions stop truncating; litellm maxInputTokens follows to 103808.

Concurrency sweep vs the SGLang 3.6 baseline:
  C1  15.36 vs 14.96 tok/s
  C8  40.11 vs 36.24 tok/s (+11%)
  C16 76.12 vs 34.49 tok/s (+121%)

Review remarks:
- Replace the no-op liveness probe with a real /health check. The startup probe
  owns the load window, so liveness only runs against a serving engine; slack
  thresholds (20x30s) keep a saturated GPU from being mistaken for a dead one.
- Run the kv-offload free-space guard hourly instead of daily. hostpath enforces
  no quota, so this job is the only control; hourly bounds the exposure to one
  hour of writes. Noted in-file that a quota-enforcing storage class is the real
  fix and why it is not taken.
- Drop the session handoff doc: it described a paused, unsafe live state
  (Flux suspended, production stopped) that no longer exists.

Fix the bench script's hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name, which made every request
fail silently after the cutover and report 0 tok/s.


* fix(llmkube): stop the kv-offload guard wiping the whole L3 tier every run

The guard's 160Gi free-space floor was never reachable on the qwen38 node: the
disk is 500G with ~370G held by everything else, so df reported 131G free even
with an empty store. Every run therefore took the "below floor" branch and did
`rm -rf /kvoffload/*`. Confirmed live -- the last job logged
`avail: 128291444K (floor: 167772160K) / below floor, wiping the L3 store`
and the store is currently 4K. The tier that reports a 95.7% external prefix
hit rate was being deleted daily.

Two changes, applied identically to qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml so the copies cannot
drift:

- Floor 160Gi -> 80Gi, a value this disk can actually satisfy.
- Evict oldest-first instead of wiping: blocks are write-once, so mtime is the
  recency signal the old comment claimed did not exist. The cutoff walks
  30/14/7/3/1/0 days and stops as soon as it is back above the floor, so an
  overshoot costs a slice of cold blocks rather than weeks of warm ones. An
  unreachable floor now degrades to "keep the last 24h" instead of erroring.

This is what makes the hourly schedule safe; hourly plus wipe-all would have
destroyed the cache 24x a day. qwen36's guard moves to hourly to match.

Also from review:
- Fix the same hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name in spectest.py, not just
  concsweep.py -- spectest has no exception handling and would traceback rather
  than silently report 0. Both now take the model as an optional 2nd argv,
  matching the existing _port() convention instead of adding an env var.
- Trim comments that restated neighbouring comments or git history.


* fix(llmkube): fail the kv-offload guard when it cannot reach its floor

The eviction ladder exited 0 even after walking all the way down, so a
node whose free space was short for reasons other than this cache
reported a healthy guard run until it filled up.


* refactor(ai): rename qwen-3.6 litellm aliases to qwen-3.8

The aliases now serve Qwen 3.8, so the 3.6 names were actively
misleading. Renamed atomically across every consumer that hardcodes
them: karakeep's image model, the PR-review action's fallback, the
proxy's omniroute fallback chain, and the alias definitions.

Hermes' own profile configs live in its PVC and were updated in the
same pass.


* refactor(ai): retire the Qwen 3.6 lane and its sglang references

qwen38-27b-vllm has taken all traffic, so the parked qwen36 sglang and
vllm manifests were dead weight -- and their kv-offload guard CronJobs
kept sweeping two multi-hundred-thousand-file stores hourly for models
that never serve.

Removes both manifests and everything left dangling by them: the
sglang-rdna4 Renovate rule (no image left to track), the sglang Grafana
dashboard link and its chart toggle, and the kustomization entries.

Comments naming the deleted services are repointed rather than dropped
-- muse-glimmer's scale-down condition named qwen36-27b-vllm, which
would have sent a future operator looking for a service that no longer
exists.


* fix(llmkube): restore the 0.875 VRAM ceiling shared with Jellyfin

The 0.97 this shipped with broke a documented hard constraint: the R9700
is shared with Jellyfin transcoding, and the ~4.6 GB free at 0.875 is
that reservation, not slack. At 0.97 free VRAM measured 3.41 GB -- under
the reservation, so a concurrent transcode would contend or OOM.

The raise was also based on a misreading. vLLM logs 'skipped memory
profiling ... does not respect the gpu_memory_utilization config' when
--kv-cache-memory is set, so the KV pool never came from the 0.97 at
all; the explicit flag was doing the work by itself.

Sizing KV at 5 GiB instead keeps 112K context and measures 5.46 GB free
(0.86 GB over the reservation). It also benchmarks faster at the
concurrency end than the 0.97 build did: 53.93 vs 40.11 tok/s at 8,
100.82 vs 76.12 at 16.


* fix(llmkube): ship the vLLM dashboard now that sglang is gone

The dashboard ship-list carried sglang-dashboard because production ran
SGLang. Removing the qwen36 lane dropped it without adding the vLLM
equivalent, which would have left the new engine with no dashboard at
all -- `only` is a static ship-list and does not follow what is
deployed.

operator.mode defaults to auto, so vllm-dashboard publishes only while a
vLLM InferenceService exists and self-suppresses instead of rendering
blank if qwen38 is ever parked.


* refactor(ai): use upstream litellm dashboard and auto runtime gating

litellm dashboard: drop the 542-line vendored copy for grafana.com
24965. It was forked because 24965's $job/$instance vars query
litellm_proxy_total_requests_metric_created, which litellm did not
export -- every panel came up blank. v1.97.0 exports that series (91
live) and all 10 metrics the dashboard queries; $model resolves too.

absent (llmkube-slo) and we export drm_* not amdgpu_* (amd-gpu-
observability), plus quota/model-router need features we don't deploy.


* refactor(ai): drop the explicit dashboard pins

Track grafana.com 24965's latest revision instead of pinning one, and
let operator.mode fall through to the chart's auto default rather than
restating it.


* docs(ai): trim the verbose comments

Same reasoning, fewer lines: keep the measured numbers and the
constraint each value encodes, drop the prose around them.


* refactor(ai): apply simplify review findings

- Drop 6 redundant `namespace: ai` declarations; the Flux Kustomization
  sets targetNamespace and three of four siblings already omit them.
- Drop --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype: it defaults to following
  --mamba-cache-dtype, so both flags plus five lines argued one setting.
- Remove two citations to files that do not exist in this repo

6.88 GiB as the ceiling that still fits on this card.

Set --kv-cache-memory to 6 GiB and raise gpuMemoryUtilization to 0.97 (it now
only has to admit weights + activations + that block, not size KV itself).
Measured on the R9700: 187,945 KV tokens, 1.68x concurrency at 112000 context.

Context goes 98000 -> 112000, which covers Hermes' measured p100 so routine
sessions stop truncating; litellm maxInputTokens follows to 103808.

Concurrency sweep vs the SGLang 3.6 baseline:
  C1  15.36 vs 14.96 tok/s
  C8  40.11 vs 36.24 tok/s (+11%)
  C16 76.12 vs 34.49 tok/s (+121%)

Review remarks:
- Replace the no-op liveness probe with a real /health check. The startup probe
  owns the load window, so liveness only runs against a serving engine; slack
  thresholds (20x30s) keep a saturated GPU from being mistaken for a dead one.
- Run the kv-offload free-space guard hourly instead of daily. hostpath enforces
  no quota, so this job is the only control; hourly bounds the exposure to one
  hour of writes. Noted in-file that a quota-enforcing storage class is the real
  fix and why it is not taken.
- Drop the session handoff doc: it described a paused, unsafe live state
  (Flux suspended, production stopped) that no longer exists.

Fix the bench script's hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name, which made every request
fail silently after the cutover and report 0 tok/s.

* fix(llmkube): stop the kv-offload guard wiping the whole L3 tier every run

The guard's 160Gi free-space floor was never reachable on the qwen38 node: the
disk is 500G with ~370G held by everything else, so df reported 131G free even
with an empty store. Every run therefore took the "below floor" branch and did
`rm -rf /kvoffload/*`. Confirmed live -- the last job logged
`avail: 128291444K (floor: 167772160K) / below floor, wiping the L3 store`
and the store is currently 4K. The tier that reports a 95.7% external prefix
hit rate was being deleted daily.

Two changes, applied identically to qwen36-27b-vllm.yaml so the copies cannot
drift:

- Floor 160Gi -> 80Gi, a value this disk can actually satisfy.
- Evict oldest-first instead of wiping: blocks are write-once, so mtime is the
  recency signal the old comment claimed did not exist. The cutoff walks
  30/14/7/3/1/0 days and stops as soon as it is back above the floor, so an
  overshoot costs a slice of cold blocks rather than weeks of warm ones. An
  unreachable floor now degrades to "keep the last 24h" instead of erroring.

This is what makes the hourly schedule safe; hourly plus wipe-all would have
destroyed the cache 24x a day. qwen36's guard moves to hourly to match.

Also from review:
- Fix the same hardcoded qwen-3.6 served name in spectest.py, not just
  concsweep.py -- spectest has no exception handling and would traceback rather
  than silently report 0. Both now take the model as an optional 2nd argv,
  matching the existing _port() convention instead of adding an env var.
- Trim comments that restated neighbouring comments or git history.

* fix(llmkube): fail the kv-offload guard when it cannot reach its floor

The eviction ladder exited 0 even after walking all the way down, so a
node whose free space was short for reasons other than this cache
reported a healthy guard run until it filled up.

* refactor(ai): rename qwen-3.6 litellm aliases to qwen-3.8

The aliases now serve Qwen 3.8, so the 3.6 names were actively
misleading. Renamed atomically across every consumer that hardcodes
them: karakeep's image model, the PR-review action's fallback, the
proxy's omniroute fallback chain, and the alias definitions.

Hermes' own profile configs live in its PVC and were updated in the
same pass.

* refactor(ai): retire the Qwen 3.6 lane and its sglang references

qwen38-27b-vllm has taken all traffic, so the parked qwen36 sglang and
vllm manifests were dead weight -- and their kv-offload guard CronJobs
kept sweeping two multi-hundred-thousand-file stores hourly for models
that never serve.

Removes both manifests and everything left dangling by them: the
sglang-rdna4 Renovate rule (no image left to track), the sglang Grafana
dashboard link and its chart toggle, and the kustomization entries.

Comments naming the deleted services are repointed rather than dropped
-- muse-glimmer's scale-down condition named qwen36-27b-vllm, which
would have sent a future operator looking for a service that no longer
exists.

* fix(llmkube): restore the 0.875 VRAM ceiling shared with Jellyfin

The 0.97 this shipped with broke a documented hard constraint: the R9700
is shared with Jellyfin transcoding, and the ~4.6 GB free at 0.875 is
that reservation, not slack. At 0.97 free VRAM measured 3.41 GB -- under
the reservation, so a concurrent transcode would contend or OOM.

The raise was also based on a misreading. vLLM logs 'skipped memory
profiling ... does not respect the gpu_memory_utilization config' when
--kv-cache-memory is set, so the KV pool never came from the 0.97 at
all; the explicit flag was doing the work by itself.

Sizing KV at 5 GiB instead keeps 112K context and measures 5.46 GB free
(0.86 GB over the reservation). It also benchmarks faster at the
concurrency end than the 0.97 build did: 53.93 vs 40.11 tok/s at 8,
100.82 vs 76.12 at 16.

* fix(llmkube): ship the vLLM dashboard now that sglang is gone

The dashboard ship-list carried sglang-dashboard because production ran
SGLang. Removing the qwen36 lane dropped it without adding the vLLM
equivalent, which would have left the new engine with no dashboard at
all -- `only` is a static ship-list and does not follow what is
deployed.

operator.mode defaults to auto, so vllm-dashboard publishes only while a
vLLM InferenceService exists and self-suppresses instead of rendering
blank if qwen38 is ever parked.

* refactor(ai): use upstream litellm dashboard and auto runtime gating

litellm dashboard: drop the 542-line vendored copy for grafana.com
24965. It was forked because 24965's $job/$instance vars query
litellm_proxy_total_requests_metric_created, which litellm did not
export -- every panel came up blank. v1.97.0 exports that series (91
live) and all 10 metrics the dashboard queries; $model resolves too.
Revision pinned: no Renovate manager covers grafanaCom.

llmkube dashboards: list both runtimes we ship manifests for and let
operator.mode: auto decide. vllm follows qwen38, llamacpp follows
muse-glimmer, so parking or scaling either no longer needs an edit here.

`only` stays: auto gates only the three runtime dashboards, so dropping
it would ship four that render blank regardless -- verified pyrra is
absent (llmkube-slo) and we export drm_* not amdgpu_* (amd-gpu-
observability), plus quota/model-router need features we don't deploy.

* refactor(ai): drop the explicit dashboard pins

Track grafana.com 24965's latest revision instead of pinning one, and
let operator.mode fall through to the chart's auto default rather than
restating it.

* docs(ai): trim the verbose comments

Same reasoning, fewer lines: keep the measured numbers and the
constraint each value encodes, drop the prose around them.

* refactor(ai): apply simplify review findings

- Drop 6 redundant `namespace: ai` declarations; the Flux Kustomization
  sets targetNamespace and three of four siblings already omit them.
- Drop --mamba-ssm-cache-dtype: it defaults to following
  --mamba-cache-dtype, so both flags plus five lines argued one setting.
- Remove two citations to files that do not exist in this repo
  (docs/hermes-config.md, project_vllm_toolcalling_specdecode.md); the
  numbers they backed are already inline.
- Lead the gpuMemoryUtilization comment with INERT rather than a HARD
  CEILING banner over a field vLLM logs that it ignores.
- Correct the memory comment: measured 13.3Gi steady state (8Gi of it
  tmpfs), not the inherited '24Gi base' figure.
- models.yaml no longer claims the rename was atomic with hermes --
  hermes' profiles live on its PVC and were edited by hand.
- Renovate: match the hf://repo@sha source form too, so the primary
  serving model's weights digest is tracked (3 of 5 models -> 5 of 5).
- Docs: engine-benchmarks still named SGLang as production, the bench
  recipe port-forwarded a deleted Service, and sglang-blockers described
  a retired setup in the present tense.

* refactor(llmkube): drop the dashboard only-list

Ship every dashboard and let the operator's auto mode gate the runtime
ones. The four non-runtime dashboards auto does not cover will render
blank; the comment says which and why.
