+# Fleet gotchas — the ones that cost hours
+
+Each: symptom → cause → fix. Read before bench re-runs, config edits, downloads, rebuilds.
+
+## 1. Bench silently "completes" with no new data
+- **Symptom:** `--all` prints "ALL TIERS COMPLETE" instantly, no GPU activity, no new JSON.
+- **Cause:** `--all` skips tiers recorded completed in `results/state.json`; tier JSONs still on disk.
+- **Fix:** BOTH steps before re-running:
+  `rm -f results/<model>_tier*.json` AND strip that model's entries from `results/state.json`
+  (`completed` list; see SKILL.md §4 re-run protocol snippet).
+
+## 2. `error: invalid argument: --load-mode` / "upstream command exited prematurely"
+- **Symptom:** model never appears ready; llama-swap `/logs` shows upstream exit right after spawn.
+- **Cause:** flag sets differ between fork bases. `--load-mode mmap` exists only on modern
+  builds; older ROCmFPX PR#98-era builds want `--mmap`. Similar drift for other flags.
+- **Fix:** `<binary> --help | grep <flag>` before writing every profile. Never copy a flag
+  block between builds blindly.
+
+## 3. Missing pre-created directories (`--slot-save-path`, mmproj paths)
+- **Symptom:** spawn fails, upstream exits; `/logs` may show path error.
+- **Cause:** llama-swap spawns the binary directly — no mkdir. CIRU `--slot-save-path
+  /tmp/ciru-strix-slots` and any mmproj/sidecar path must pre-exist.
+- **Fix:** `mkdir -p` every directory referenced in a `cmd:` before restart.
+
+## 4. Global LD_LIBRARY_PATH poisons the ROCmFP4 fork
+- **Symptom:** ROCmFPX/ROCmFP4 binary loads wrong ggml/llama libs, crashes or picks wrong backend.
+- **Cause:** the fork binary has its own RUNPATH; a systemd-global LD_LIBRARY_PATH shadows it.
+- **Fix:** LD_LIBRARY_PATH belongs INSIDE the macro/profile: `env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path> <binary> …`.
+  Never in the systemd unit or shell profile.
+
+## 5. Model listed but broken
+- **Symptom:** id present in `/v1/models`, requests hang or 500.
+- **Cause:** llama-swap lists models even when files are missing/deleted; failure only surfaces at spawn.
+- **Fix:** `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9292/logs | tail -50` FIRST, before any other debugging.
+
+## 6. `api_chat()` sends `cache_prompt: False`
+- Keep it. Matches CIRU README eval methodology; harmless elsewhere. Changing it makes
+  T2 numbers incomparable to the existing fleet results.
+
+## 7. `uv cache clean` kills the bench venv
+- **Symptom:** `ModuleNotFoundError: datasets` mid-T2.
+- **Fix:** `uv pip install --python ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 datasets`
+  (verify with `…venv/bin/python3 -c "import datasets"`).
+
+## 8. Big models OOM T1 at pp32768+
+- llama-bench long prompt-processing frontiers blow up VRAM+KV on 100 GB-class models.
+- **Fix:** skip the long frontiers, or run llama-bench manually with short frontiers and hand-write
+  `results/<model>_tier1.json` matching the schema (see SKILL.md §4).
+
+## 9. Truncated downloads
+- **Symptom:** GGUF loads garbage / checksum mismatch / corrupt metadata.
+- **Cause:** aria2c can report "done" on a truncated file.
+- **Fix:** verify `stat` size vs HF API, README checksums (CIRU-STRIX: ALL 5), GGUF header via
+  `scripts/gguf_walk.py`. Never skip.
+
+## 10. Two benches at once
+- Single GPU — concurrent benches OOM/destroy timings.
+- **Fix:** `pgrep -fa bench_framework.py` before launch; `pkill -f bench_framework.py` + re-check
+  (llama-bench children can survive) before relaunch.
+
+## 11. MTP self-draft flags
+- Custom ROCmFPX quants with self-draft MTP need `-md <file>` pointing at the SAME gguf.
+- MTP benefit shows in live-server timings only, NOT in llama-bench T1 — don't chase it there.
+
+## 12. T4 HumanEval fake 100%
+- **Rule:** verify `total == 164` in `results/<model>_tier4.json`. Smaller total or 100% with tiny
+  details list = silent skip bug; re-run. Errors count as failures by design.
+
+## 13. Thinking toggles
+- ON for T4 (HumanEval) + GSM8K (standing user rule). OFF for MMLU/ARC/HellaSwag and T6 IFEval.
+- Wrong toggle collapses scores to ~10–30% and poisons the comparison table.
+
+## 14. Phantom model ids
+- Never fabricate/guess model ids in commands, configs, or reports. Check live `/v1/models`
+  on the target host whenever an id is in doubt.
+
+## 15. Disk exhaustion
+- miche /home ~1.6 T (87 % used 2026-08-29); byte /home 931 G at **99 % — needs attention**.
+- Purge retired model files immediately after retirement ("head-to-head, delete losers").
+  Check `df -h /home` on both hosts before any download.
+
+## 16. CIRU-STRIX bench specifics
+- T1 MUST use `bench_bin: api_timing` — `--ple-sidecar` is server-only, llama-bench cannot load it.
+- Mid-bench decode errors (positions-decreasing / speculative-batch 500s): check the HF repo
+  discussions for a runtime fix BEFORE rebuilding anything.
+
+## 17. Hermes config is write-blocked
+- `~/.hermes/config.yaml` on miche rejects agent writes. Use `hermes config set …`.
+- Provider entries stay discover-only: `discover_models: true`, no static `models:` dict.
+
+## Version pins (verify, don't trust)
+- CIRU runtime: tag `v1.1` = commit `baba5e0` (`build-gfx1151/bin/llama-server --version`).
+  **Never `v1.0.0-h121`** — MTP+cache-prefix state sync bug → 500 "sequence 0 positions are
+  decreasing" / "failed to process speculative batch".
+- qwen4exp arch: upstream PR #27742 is base-model only, NO MTP. Flash-Next MTP lives only in the
+  CIRU runtime (LaurentZuijdwijk fork deleted 2026-08-29).
+- ROCmFPX flagship tree has uncommitted patches — never `git reset`/`pull`; worktree for updates.

+description: Manage and benchmark the two-host local LLM fleet (miche Strix Halo + byte R9700) behind llama-swap. Use when SSHing to miche/byte, editing llama-swap config, adding/retiring models, serving via the 9292 proxy, running bench_framework tiers, regenerating or pushing the fleet bench page, or debugging spawn/OOM/bench-state failures.

+
+# Strix Halo Fleet Management & Bench
+
+Two-host local LLM fleet behind llama-swap. All work happens over SSH from this machine.
+Read `GOTCHAS.md` in this skill directory before ANY bench re-run or config change — 17 failure modes that cost hours, each with symptom + fix.
+
+## 1. Hosts, access, services
+
+| Host | SSH | Hardware | User | Config |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| miche | `ssh rain@miche.local` | Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 "Strix Halo", Radeon 8060S gfx1151, 128 GB unified | rain (home `/home/rain`) | `/home/rain/AI/llama-swap/config.yaml` |
+| byte | `ssh melon@byte.local` | R9700 + RX 9070XT, 32 GB VRAM | melon | `/home/melon/AI/llama-swap/config.yaml` |
+
+Both run llama-swap as a **systemd USER service** on `0.0.0.0:9292` (OpenAI-compatible:
+`/v1/models`, `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/completions`, `/health`, `/logs`, `/metrics`,
+`/api/models/unload`).
+
+```bash
+# after any config.yaml edit (NO --watch-config; restart is mandatory):
+ssh rain@miche.local 'systemctl --user restart llama-swap'
+# verify:
+ssh rain@miche.local 'curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9292/v1/models'
+# spawn failures appear ONLY here (llama-swap lists models even when files are gone):
+ssh rain@miche.local 'curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9292/logs | tail -50'
+# unload a model without waiting for TTL:
+ssh rain@miche.local 'curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9292/api/models/unload'
+```
+
+Remote login shells are **zsh**: `echo ===` fails (`=cmd` expansion). Quote delimiters.
+
+### Hermes (on miche)
+
+`~/.hermes/config.yaml` is **agent-write-BLOCKED** — use `hermes config set` for provider changes.
+Providers: `custom:llama-swap` → `http://localhost:9292/v1`, `custom:byte-llama` →
+`http://byte.local:9292/v1`, both `discover_models: true`, NO static `models:` dict.
+**Never re-add a hardcoded `models:` dict** — it pins the catalog and goes stale.
+Hermes auto-discovers from `/v1/models` on every model-picker run.
+
+## 2. Fleet inventory
+
+Refresh (single source of truth — never trust the table below for debugging):
+
+```bash
+for h in rain@miche.local melon@byte.local; do
+  echo "== $h"; ssh -o BatchMode=yes $h 'curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9292/v1/models | python3 -c "import json,sys;[print(m[\"id\"]) for m in json.load(sys.stdin)[\"data\"]]"'
+done
+```

+711 family, Genesis, Ornith-DualView, DwarfStar, DS4 variants, Ling-3.0-flash, Laguna family.
+
+## 3. Config conventions
+
+miche config layout: `macros:` then per-model profiles. Match existing entry style
+(byte style differs slightly — variable names differ, follow byte's file).
+
+Key macros (see `GOTCHAS.md` #4, #2, #3 before touching):
+- `llama_server`: **stock Vulkan daily driver** — `env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/llama.cpp-vulkan-gfx1151/lib <bin> …` — LD_LIBRARY_PATH lives INSIDE the macro, never global (shadows ROCmFP4 fork RUNPATH).
+- `ciru_strix_server`: CIRU runtime v1.1 (IU4 WMMA + NVMe-paged FP8 PLE + MTP depth 3).
+- `rocmfpx_server` / `dualview_server` / `heretic_server` / `ds4_server`: wrapper scripts `~/AI/llama-swap/*.sh` setting per-build LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+- `server_common` (`--host 0.0.0.0 --no-webui --timeout 7200`), `llama_common` (`-ngl 999 --no-mmap -fa 1 --jinja`), `rocm_common` (no `--jinja` — ROCmFPX needs `--chat-template-file`), `kv_moe`/`kv_dense`, `sampler_think*`, `tpl_qwen`/`tpl_gemma4`, `mmproj_*`.
+- Globals: `healthCheckTimeout: 900`, `globalTTL: 900`, `logToStdout: proxy`, `includeAliasesInList: true`, `performance.every: 15s`.
+
+Profile pattern: `name:`, `description:`, `cmd: >-` composing macros, one `--alias <id>` per
+alias, `capabilities: {in: [text, image], out: [text], context: <n>}` block matching
+`--ctx-size`. CIRU-STRIX entry additionally: `--ple-sidecar <dir>` (mandatory),
+`--ple-cache-mib 4096`, `--slot-save-path /tmp/ciru-strix-slots` (**dir must pre-exist**),
+`--spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 3 --spec-draft-p-split 0.10`.
+
+### Add / retire = THREE places
+
+1. llama-swap `config.yaml` entry (+ `mkdir -p` any slot/sidecar dirs) → `systemctl --user restart llama-swap` → verify `/v1/models` + `/logs`.
+2. `~/AI/strix-halo-fleet-bench/bench_framework.py` `MODELS` dict (fields: `model_file`, `mmproj`, `template`, `bench_bin`, `has_mtp`, `card_name`, `params`, `size_gb`, `base_arch`, `color`; `bench_bin` ∈ default vulkan | `rocmfpx` | `dualview` | `ciru-hip` | `api_timing`; `api_only: True` for external-API models).
+3. `~/AI/strix-halo-fleet-bench/gen_page.py`: `META` (+ `SPECS` as `(total_B, active_B, file_GB)`, `ORDER`).
+
+Retiring = reverse all three + move id from `ORDER` to `ORDER_RETIRED` + **delete model files
+immediately** (disk is finite; byte was 99%). Never fabricate model ids — trust live `/v1/models`.
+
+## 4. Bench framework (miche `~/AI/strix-halo-fleet-bench/`)
+
+```bash
+cd ~/AI/strix-halo-fleet-bench
+python3 bench_framework.py --model <id> --all          # all tiers
+python3 bench_framework.py --model <id> --tier <1|2|3|4|6>
+python3 bench_framework.py --status                    # completion state
+python3 bench_framework.py --model <id> --resume       # resume interrupted
+python3 bench_framework.py --model <id> --tier 1 --mtp-off
+```
+
+- Tier 2 imports `datasets` lazily — run under the venv that has it:
+  `~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3` (verify `import datasets` first; `uv cache clean` breaks it → `uv pip install --python ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 datasets`).
+- External-API models (`deepseek-v4-*`, `glm-5.2`) carry `api_only: True` in `MODELS`; `--all` then runs tiers 2/3/4/6 only (no CLI flag for this).
+- **No concurrent benches — single GPU.** `pgrep -fa bench_framework.py` first; kill zombies `pkill -f bench_framework.py` and verify dead.
+- `api_chat()` sends `cache_prompt: False` globally — keep it (CIRU eval methodology).
+- state.json is flock'd; `--all` SKIPS tiers marked completed.
+
+Tiers: **T1** speed (llama-bench frontiers pp/tg short/medium/…; `api_timing` for sharded >50 GB and ANY custom-runtime/PLE model — `ple_sidecar` is server-only, llama-bench cannot load it); **T2** knowledge MMLU 200 / ARC 237 / GSM8K 200 / HellaSwag 300 (thinking OFF for MC, ON for GSM8K); **T3** NIAH long-context, cap comparison at ctx ≤ 131072; **T4** HumanEval 164 (thinking ON, 8192 tok, errors = failures); **T6** IFEval (thinking OFF). **Standing rule: thinking ON for T4 + GSM8K** — off collapses scores to ~10–30%.
+
+Results on disk: `results/<model>_tier<N>.json` + `results/state.json` (`{"completed":[{model,tier,completed,error}]}`).
+
+Schemas (verified 2026-08-29):
+- T1 `{model, tier, mtp, results:[{label, pp, type: pp|tg, avg_ts, stddev_ts, model_n_params, model_size, backend}], timestamp}`; api_timing rows add `method: "api_timing"`.
+- T2 `{model, tier, benchmarks: {mmlu, arc_challenge, gsm8k, hellaswag}, timestamp}`.
+- T3 `{model, tier, tests: {single_niah[], single_niah_summary[], multi_needle[], variable_tracking, aggregation[]}, timestamp}`.
+- T4 `{model, tier, "pass@1", passed, total, details[], timestamp}` — **verify `total == 164`**; a fake 100% = silent skip bug.
+- T6 `{model, tier, accuracy, passed, total, details[], timestamp}`.
+
+### Re-run protocol (mandatory, gotcha #1)
+
+```bash
+rm -f results/<model>_tier*.json
+python3 - <<'EOF'
+import json
+p = "results/state.json"
+s = json.load(open(p))
+s["completed"] = [e for e in s["completed"] if e["model"] != "<model>"]
+json.dump(s, open(p, "w"), indent=1)
+EOF
+```
+Forgetting state.json = instant "ALL TIERS COMPLETE" with zero new data.
+
+### Page
+
+```bash
+python3 gen_page.py    # reads results/*.json -> fleet_bench.md + fleet_bench.html (real numbers off disk only)
+scp fleet_bench.html melon@byte.local:~/Desktop/fleet_bench.html
+```
+Keep `META` / `SPECS` / `ORDER` (active) / `ORDER_RETIRED` in sync; reconcile `ORDER`
+against live `/v1/models` when refreshing (it drifts). External-API models live in
+`META_FRONTIER`/`ORDER_FRONTIER`.
+
+## 5. Engine map
+
+| Binary / build | Serves | Access |
+|---|---|---|
+| `/opt/llama.cpp-vulkan-gfx1151/bin/llama-server` (stock Vulkan, nisavid pkg) | gemma4-26b-hauhau, godoter-27b, qwen36-35b-heretic-apex, ornith-1.5-apex-i-quality, embedding, reranker | `llama_server` macro |
+| `~/AI/Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-IU4-runtime/build-gfx1151` (v1.1 `baba5e0`) | qwen38-flash-ciru-strix-iu4 | `ciru_strix_server` macro |

+| `~/AI/llama-swap/.venv/bin/python3 ~/AI/llama-swap/*-server.py` | img-*, stt_*, tts_qwen3 | direct python |
+
+Bench binaries (`bench_bin` in `MODELS`): default `/opt/llama.cpp-vulkan-gfx1151/bin/llama-bench`
+(libs `…/lib`); `rocmfpx` `~/AI/ROCmFPX/build-strix-rocmfp4/bin/llama-bench`; `dualview`
+`build-dualview`; `ciru-hip` build-ciru; `api_timing` through llama-swap at
+`http://localhost:9292/v1` — REQUIRED for sharded >50 GB and PLE-sidecar models.
+
+**Never `git reset/pull` the flagship ROCmFPX tree** (uncommitted patches) — use a worktree.
+CIRU runtime build: `ROCM_ROOT=/opt/rocm ./scripts/ciru/build-linux-amd.sh`, tag `v1.1`
+(commit `baba5e0`); **never `v1.0.0-h121`** (MTP+cache-prefix state-sync bug → 500
+"sequence 0 positions are decreasing" / "failed to process speculative batch"). Verify:
+`build-gfx1151/bin/llama-server --version` must show `baba5e0`.
+qwen4exp arch merged upstream (PR #27742) base-only, NO MTP; MTP for Flash-Next exists only
+in the CIRU runtime (LaurentZuijdwijk fork deleted — no longer needed).
+
+## 6. Verification checklist — every operation
+
+| Operation | Verify |
+|---|---|
+| Config edit + restart | `systemctl --user is-active llama-swap` + `/v1/models` shows new/changed ids + `/logs` clean (no "exited prematurely") |
+| Model add | id in `/v1/models`; warm-load: 1-token chat completes; slot/sidecar dirs exist; `--help` flags valid for that binary |
+| Bench re-run | state.json entries removed AND `rm results/<model>_tier*.json` before launch; after: each `results/<model>_tier*.json` fresh mtime, T2 has all 4 benchmarks, T4 `total==164`, T6 `total==541`-ish non-zero |
+| New runtime build | `llama-server --version` commit matches intended tag |
+| Download | `stat` size vs HF API + README checksums (CIRU: ALL 5) + GGUF header via `scripts/gguf_walk.py`; aria2c can report done truncated |
+| Retire | id gone from `/v1/models`, `MODELS`, `ORDER`; present in `ORDER_RETIRED`; files deleted; results/*.json kept |
+| Page push | `python3 gen_page.py` exits 0, scp returns, `ssh melon@byte.local ls -la ~/Desktop/fleet_bench.html` newer than generation |
+| Bench hygiene | `pgrep -fa bench_framework.py` empty before starting |
+
+## 7. One-command fleet status
+
+`scripts/fleet-status.sh` in this skill dir. Prints: service state, model count + ids, disk,
+bench state, running benches, on both hosts.
+
+## 8. "Full bench new model" runbook
+
+1. **Download** GGUF (+mmproj / MTP draft / PLE sidecar). Verify every README checksum, size vs HF API, GGUF header (`scripts/gguf_walk.py`).
+2. **Custom runtime?** Build (CIRU: `ROCM_ROOT=/opt/rocm ./scripts/ciru/build-linux-amd.sh`), verify `--version` commit. Check upstream/HF discussions for runtime fixes before rebuilding anything mid-bench (gotcha #16).
+3. **llama-swap**: add profile matching file style; `mkdir -p` slot/sidecar dirs; check flag set vs `--help` (`--load-mode mmap` vs `--mmap` differs per fork base, gotcha #2); restart; verify `/v1/models` + `/logs`.
+4. **Warm-load** through proxy: 1-token `/v1/chat/completions`, expect full load (healthCheckTimeout 900 covers MoE ~2 min loads).
+5. **Framework**: add `MODELS` entry (`bench_bin`: `api_timing` if PLE/sharded); clear any stale state (`--all` skips completed).
+6. **Bench**: no other bench running → `python3 bench_framework.py --model <id> --all`.
+7. **Validate results**: T4 `total==164`, T2 4 benchmarks, T3 rows non-empty.
+8. **Page**: add META (+SPECS, ORDER) → `python3 gen_page.py` → `scp fleet_bench.html melon@byte.local:~/Desktop/fleet_bench.html` → verify mtime on byte.
+9. **Report**: speed TG/PP, MMLU, ARC, GSM8K, HellaSwag, NIAH, HumanEval, IFEval, vs-fleet comparison table (condensed names, params only; A4B = MoE, no suffix = dense — never mislabel), page pushed to byte.
+   Head-to-head quants: bench both, delete the loser; lighter quant wins if quality holds.
+   API benches: verify API keys first; source `.env` in Python, not bash.
