Closes out the two blocked moves from #27 with what was actually measured.

GLM-5.2 downloaded and verified (91/91 shards), the GPU wired-memory ceiling was raised to 491520 MB, and the server started — but the model fails to load on mlx-lm 0.31.3:

ValueError: Missing 285 parameters: model.layers.{…}.self_attn.indexer.{k_norm,weights_proj,wk,wq_b}

GLM-5.2's IndexShare shares one attention indexer across every four layers, so the checkpoint carries indexer weights on 21 of 78 layers while stock mlx-lm builds one per layer (57 × 5 = 285). Support is mlx-lm PR #1410 — open, not merged.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash has no deepseek_v4 module in any mlx-lm release.

Decision: stay on cloud GLM, keep the Developer on Qwen3.6-27B, wait for upstream. Weights, serve script, LaunchAgent template and the meter's env flip all stay; the rendered GLM LaunchAgent is uninstalled so nothing crashloops at login. mlx-community/GLM-5-4bit is recorded as a stock-mlx-lm-compatible fallback (verified: indexer on every layer).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Both need model code that no mlx-lm release has. GLM-5.2's IndexShare shares an
attention indexer across every four layers, so stock mlx-lm looks for 285
parameters the checkpoint does not carry; the support PR (#1410) is open, not
merged. deepseek_v4 has no module at all.

Decision: stay on the z.ai cloud for GLM, keep the Developer on Qwen3.6-27B,
and revisit when the PRs land. Weights and launchers stay in place; the GLM
LaunchAgent is uninstalled so nothing crashloops at login. GLM-5-4bit is noted
as a stock-compatible fallback.
