Direct question on Let's make sure j is reachable fro the outside world we'r. No tools needed.
</think>

**Current state:** j has OpenVPN to `marauder.saiden.dev` (tun0 = `10.8.0.18 ↔ 10.8.0.17`), but the VPN server doesn't route client-to-client — fuji can't reach j over the VPN, so a roaming Pilot device on that same VPN won't either.

**Three options for outside-LAN access:**

| option | effort | UX | security | router changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **A. Tailscale** | 2 min install on j | `ssh madcat-ts` from anywhere; MagicDNS hostname | strong (WireGuard, identity-based ACLs, key rotation) | ❌ none |
| **B. Fix existing OpenVPN** | server-side change | reuse existing infra | depends on cert mgmt | ❌ none on MikroTik, but server config edit on `marauder.saiden.dev` |
| **C. MikroTik port-forward + DDNS** | 5 min config | direct `ssh -p N <ddns-host>` | weakest — exposes 22 to scanners; needs fail2ban + key-only | ✅ NAT rule + DDNS |

**Recommendation: A (Tailscale).** Cleanest, most secure, zero router config, works from cellular/café wifi/airplane wifi without thinking about it. Free for personal tier. The OpenVPN keeps doing its current job (whatever that is — looks like just the marauder.saiden.dev mesh for prod), Tailscale becomes the "I'm roaming and need j" path.

Concrete plan if A:
1. On j: `curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh && sudo tailscale up`
2. Browser auth flow — pick which tailnet (existing or new)
3. j gets a `100.x.y.z` IP + MagicDNS name (e.g. `junkpile.tail-xxx.ts.net`)
4. Add fuji `~/.ssh/config` Host block: `madcat-ts → <j-tailnet-name>` for an off-LAN alias
5. Pilot device (laptop/phone) needs Tailscale client too — install + log into same tailnet

Want me to go with A, or pick a different option?

**But** — status bar shows `marauder Connected` under MCP. That contradicts §10.3 ("marauder CLI not installed on j"). Let me probe deeper for hidden persona quirks and verify the MCP situation.

<think>
Pilot asks about Ok this is supposed to be a "blank" generic cart - check . Straightforward.
</think>

Probe result: the blank agent is honest and clean, but flagged a real inconsistency.

**Identity scrub — passed**
- No BT-7274, no Saiden, no marauder-os, no Pilot/callsign baggage in its self-description.
- Only behavioral directives it admits to are operational reflexes (P01/02/10/14/15) — tool-agnostic, as planned in §10.6.
- Self-IDs as "madcat base agent." Volunteers it has no persona, no memory, no TTS, no visor.

**MCP truth — leaks marauder branding**
- One MCP server wired: literally named `marauder`, command `marauder mcp`.
- Config: `/home/madcat/.config/opencode/opencode.json`.
- Plugin path the agent reported: `~/Projects/madcat/opencode/` (so a fork *was* made under the gen-7 tree per §10.6 step 2, but the binary/server is still called `marauder`).
- Agent's own honest take: *"The gap between 'what the prompt claims is unavailable' and 'what tools are actually registered' is real."*

**Gaps vs. AGENTS.md §10**
1. §10.3 said `marauder` CLI is **not installed** on j — that's now stale. A `marauder` binary exists and is wired as MCP.
2. The plugin neutralization (§10.6 step 2) was supposed to rewrite "all marauder-os strings to neutral madcat strings" — but the MCP server name itself is still `marauder`. Cosmetic leak; not behavioral, but visible in the status bar on every session.
3. The agent's identity prompt apparently still claims "no MCP servers wired" — out of sync with reality. Either prompt needs updating, or the bootstrap hook needs to inject the actual tool surface.

Want me to dig into what tools that `marauder mcp` actually exposes, or have the blank agent rename the MCP entry to `madcat`?

The `core.md` at `~/.config/opencode/agents/core.md` on madcat is clean — properly neutralized per §10.6 step 1. Highlights:

**Frontmatter**
- `mode: primary` (default agent on session start)
- Tools omitted → inherits all available (base + MCP when present)

**Identity block (sanitized as intended):**
> *"You are the **madcat base agent** — the default core assistant on the gen-7 madcat sandbox. You currently run on **opencode** as your host runtime, on the `madcat` user on `junkpile`. You are a **blank base agent**: no inherited persona, no preloaded organizational identity, no claims about your own architecture beyond what is observable."*

No BT, no marauder-os, no Saiden Tactical Systems. No persona/cart/visor/TTS/sealed-auth references. ✓

**What it explicitly disclaims having:** persistent memory, persona system, TTS, visor, sealed-auth, vaultkeeper dispatch, image gen, camera control.

**Reflexes carried over:** P01, P02, P10, P14, P15 (tool-agnostic ones, per §10.6 plan).

**Substrate-aware passages:** mentions `~/Projects/madcat/`, the `madcat-base` plugin, MQTT subscriber, `madcat_*` stub tools, `session.created` bootstrap hook. Tells the agent to use new capabilities as they come online and probe before assuming.

**Why identity still slipped in the probe:**
1. Identity is asserted *once* in the header, not reinforced by a directive like *"if asked who you are, always say madcat base agent."*
2. The Build agent fallback has **no custom prompt** — when Tab cycled to Build (or when MCP/Core got pulled), identity vanished entirely.
3. The prompt itself says "run on opencode as your host runtime" — so when Build said "I'm OpenCode," it wasn't even wrong by Core's own framing, just collapsing runtime into identity.

The prompt is correct content-wise. The leak is structural: no reassertion directive, no Build-side prompt, and runtime-vs-identity is fuzzy.

Christened. **`sinanju`** — Grace-Blackwell, red comet of the rack.

hostname              →  sinanju
/etc/hostname         →  sinanju
/etc/hosts            →  127.0.0.1  sinanju
```

Sudo is passwordless for `madcat` — confirmed via `sudo -n`.

**Next housekeeping when you're ready:**
1. **SSH alias rename** — fuji-side `~/.ssh/config` still says `Host madcat` → keep the alias (it's the user/role) or add `Host sinanju` parallel? Your call.
2. **MikroTik DNS** — register `sinanju.local.sazabi.pl → 192.168.88.108` so the rest of the mesh can find her by name.
3. **Static DHCP lease** — pin .108 on the router so she doesn't drift.
4. **AGENTS.md** — §1 needs a rewrite: junkpile → sinanju, x86_64 → aarch64 Grace, brew/rust/uv state reset to "fresh".

Want me to pop those in parallel — DNS + static lease via mikrotik tools — and draft the AGENTS.md §1 patch?

Pilot asks about install and run Nemotron 3 Super 120b there . Straightforward.
</think>

Confirmed — the model is **`nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-NVFP4`** (Nemotron-H hybrid Mamba/Transformer, latent-MoE, 12B active of 120B, ~60 GB on disk in NVFP4). NVIDIA published it specifically for Blackwell — sinanju is exactly the target.

Let me quickly scope what's already on the box before recommending a path.

Pilot wants to know about install and run Nemotron 3 Super 120b there . Facts first.
</think>

Sinanju is ready hardware-wise: **GB10, sm_12.1, driver 580.142** (NVFP4-capable), 3.1 TB free, Python 3.12, docker present. No CUDA toolkit and no HF cache — fine, we'll go containerised.

**Right model for this rig:** `nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Super-120B-A12B-NVFP4` (~60 GB on disk, 12 B active of 120 B sparse, fits unified memory with KV headroom).

**Pre-flight (any path):**
```bash
ssh sinanju 'sudo usermod -aG docker madcat'   # then reconnect
ssh sinanju 'docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-base-ubuntu24.04 nvidia-smi'  # verify nvidia-container-toolkit wired
```
HF or NGC token needed depending on path — per P29 I'll route storage through vaultkeeper, never echo it.

Three viable paths — pick one:

[Assistant]
<think>
Pilot wants to know about install and run Nemotron 3 Super 120b there . Facts first.
</think>

Pick a path:

| | path | what you get | friction |
|---|---|---|---|
| **A** | **NVIDIA NIM container** (`nvcr.io/nim/.../nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b`) | Pre-tuned, OpenAI-compat `/v1` on :8000, auto-picks NVFP4, NIM-side optimisations | Needs NGC API key (free dev account); least control |
| **B** | **vLLM + HF weights** (`vllm/vllm-openai:latest --model …NVFP4`) | OpenAI-compat too, pull straight from HF, full knob access (KV cache, parallelism, sampling) | Verify arm64 image + vLLM ≥ 0.7 has Nemotron-H NVFP4 kernels; HF token if model is gated |
| **C** | **TensorRT-LLM** | Top throughput on Blackwell NVFP4 | Build engine, deepest setup on a fresh box — save for tuned production |

**My call:** A first to get it answering today, then B in parallel as the controllable backend for gen-7 work. Skip C until you actually need the throughput.

Which one — **A**, **B**, **A+B in parallel**, or want me to also stand up an OpenAI-compat reverse-proxy on sinanju so the rest of the mesh hits a single endpoint?

probe query. Have the answer.
</think>

What it does:

1. **Activates the venv** so `vllm` and `hf` are on PATH.
2. **Stops ollama** to free unified memory (one container, one CUDA context — clean.)
3. **Pulls the NVFP4 weights** (~60 GB) to `~/models/nemotron-3-super-120b-nvfp4`. `hf_transfer` parallelises chunks, expect 3-5× faster than naive download. Resume-safe.
4. **Serves with vLLM** — bare metal, OpenAI-compatible, listening on all interfaces port 8000.

`--gpu-memory-utilization 0.85` of 119.7 GiB = ~101 GiB cap → ~60 GiB weights + ~40 GiB KV cache headroom. Plenty for batch.

Run `./go.sh` in the left pane. First boot:
- ~10-20 min for download (depending on HF mirror speed)
- ~1-2 min for model load
- ~30 sec for KV cache warmup
- Then `INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000`

If anything trips, errors will be Python tracebacks straight to stdout — no docker logs indirection. Much easier to iterate.

## vLLM booting clean — all kernels picked the fast path

**Status:** `active (running)` 41 s, Main PID 136906, peak RAM 5.2 GB, no errors.

**What it picked (Blackwell-optimal):**
- Architecture: `NemotronHForCausalLM` (hybrid Mamba-2 + attention)
- Quant: ModelOpt **NVFP4** detected → `FlashInferCutlassNvFp4LinearKernel` GEMM + `FLASHINFER_CUTLASS` MoE
- Attention: `FLASHINFER` backend
- Sampling: FlashInfer top-p/top-k
- KV cache: `fp8_e4m3` (saves ~50% over fp16)
- Mamba SSM cache: `float32` (correct — required for stability)
- Compile: `VLLM_COMPILE` (Inductor) + `FULL_AND_PIECEWISE` CUDA graphs, capture sizes 1→512
- Async scheduling + chunked prefill on
- TP=1, single GPU, world=1

**Currently:** weight load phase. Loading 74.8 GiB shards from EXT4 NVMe.

**One advisory (non-fatal):** vLLM noted *"Auto-prefetch disabled — checkpoint 74.8 GiB > 90% of available RAM 40.14 GiB."* That heuristic is for discrete-GPU staging; on Spark's **unified memory** it's a false alarm — weights stream straight to the same DRAM pool the GPU uses. Slightly slower first load, no functional impact. Could revisit by setting `VLLM_USE_PREFETCH=1` later if startup feels sluggish.

**ETA:** weight load ~30-60 s on Spark NVMe + CUDA graph capture ~30-60 s → first token ready in roughly **90-150 s from boot**. So ~50-110 s left.

Tail it live or I can re-poll in 90 s:

**Not yet — still in weight load phase.**

The `[110B blob data]` lines repeating every ~35 s are tqdm progress bars (journald rejects them as binary, so they show as blob hints). One bar every 35 s = shard-loading tick. Memory is ramping (79 GiB used now vs 83 a moment ago — torch is shuffling pages).

Confirmed — **API socket not bound yet, model still loading**. ~3 min into load, no listener.

NemotronH is hybrid (Mamba-2 SSM + attention) and 120B at NVFP4 = 17 shards × ~4.4 GiB each. With auto-prefetch off, it's serial mmap+dequant per shard. Realistic ETA on Spark NVMe: another **2–4 minutes** for shards, then **30–90 s** of CUDA-graph capture before the listener binds.

Tell me when you want me to re-poll, or run this to live-tail it:

## Clean run — 4/17 shards (24%), 2:37 in, no OOM

```
Mem:  used 77Gi   buff/cache 20Gi   free 22Gi   available 41Gi
```

Pace ~40 s/shard (a touch slower than last attempt — page cache was flushed, Marlin has different read pattern). 13 shards left → **~8-9 min** to finish weight load. Then **CUDA graph capture for sizes [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32]** instead of last time's [1…512] — should be quick AND fit in memory.

## Spark-verified alternatives (from eugreugr/spark-vllm-docker recipes)

All confirmed running solo on a single DGX Spark with `./run-recipe.sh <name> --solo --setup`.

### Coding-specialized (best for opencode)
| recipe | notes |
|---|---|
| **qwen3-coder-next-fp8** | Qwen3 Coder Next, FP8 — purpose-built for agent/tool-calling code workflows |
| qwen3-coder-next-int4-autoround | INT4 — more KV headroom, slight quality hit |

### Frontier general-purpose (100B+)
| recipe | notes |
|---|---|
| **openai-gpt-oss-120b** | OpenAI's open-weight GPT 120B, MXFP4 |
| qwen3.5-122b-fp8 | Qwen 3.5 122B dense FP8 |
| qwen3.5-122b-int4-autoround | Same, INT4 |
| glm-4.7-flash-awq | GLM 4.7 Flash AWQ — Zhipu's frontier reasoning model |

### Fast / MoE (low-latency, high-concurrency)
| recipe | notes |
|---|---|
| **qwen3.6-35b-a3b-fp8** | 35B MoE, **3B active** — very fast, newest Qwen |
| qwen3.6-35b-a3b-fp8-dflash | + DeepFlash optimizations |
| qwen3.5-35b-a3b-fp8 | Older sibling |
| gemma4-26b-a4b | Google Gemma 4 MoE, 4B active |
| minimax-m2.7-awq / m2.5 / m2 | MiniMax M2 family AWQ |

### Smaller Nemotron
| recipe | notes |
|---|---|
| nemotron-3-nano-nvfp4 | ~9B Nemotron, blog reports 67 tps on Spark |

### Too big for one Spark
- qwen3.5-397b-int4-autoround — needs 3-4× Spark cluster

### My picks for your stack
- **opencode coding loop** → `qwen3-coder-next-fp8` (built for tool-calling, smaller than Nemotron, faster turn-around)
- **fast assistant** → `qwen3.6-35b-a3b-fp8` (3B active = sub-second responses)
- **frontier reasoning** → keep Nemotron-3 Super or try `glm-4.7-flash-awq` for variety

Want me to switch the systemd unit to one of these, or stand up a second container on a different port for A/B?

 query. Have the answer.

Found it. **vLLM Nemotron-3-Super-120B** Docker container (`vllm-nemotron`) is holding **97 GB / ~120 GB** GPU memory (`--gpu-memory-utilization 0.80`). Not enough left for Flux Dev fp16 (~24 GB) or even fp8 (~16 GB + T5 + VAE + workspace ≈ 25–30 GB).

The downloads I started are bare curl on disk — they're not eating GPU memory.

Three options, pick one:

1. **Stop Nemotron, run Flux, restart Nemotron after** — cleanest for the smoke test
   ```bash
   ssh madcat 'docker stop vllm-nemotron'
   # ...test Flux...
   ssh madcat 'docker start vllm-nemotron'   # if it has --restart, otherwise re-run go.sh
   ```

2. **Restart Nemotron with lower GPU budget** — coexist with ComfyUI; needs ~30 GB free for Flux fp8 split-file
   ```bash
   # Restart vllm container with --gpu-memory-utilization 0.55 instead of 0.80
   # Trade: smaller KV cache → shorter effective context for Nemotron
   ```

3. **Skip Flux Dev, use a GGUF quant (~6–8 GB)** — coexists trivially with vLLM at 0.80
   - Switch the example to `flux1-dev-Q4_K_S.gguf` + `t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-Q4_K_M.gguf`
   - Needs `ComfyUI-GGUF` custom node installed
   - Quality drops slightly but runs alongside Nemotron with no surgery

Which way? My recommendation is **#1** for the smoke test (downloads are nearly done, no point not testing the real fp16/fp8 pipeline once), then we can document #3 in the README as the coexistence option.

Here's what I have on `ssh madcat`:

**Host / access**
- Alias `madcat` in fuji `~/.ssh/config` → `madcat@10.0.0.2` (junkpile, Ubuntu 24.04, x86_64 + RTX 2000 Ada GPU)
- Key: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519`; agent-forward with `ssh -A madcat` for github (auths as `aladac`)
- Doctrine: EEMS id **6179** (`self.doctrine.madcat-ssh-alias`)

**User**
- `madcat` uid 1006 / gid 1008, groups `sudo` (passwordless NOPASSWD) + `chi` (linuxbrew write via gid 1000)
- Shell `/bin/bash` (5.2.21); `~/.bashrc` sources brew, cargo, uv envs **before** the non-interactive guard so `ssh madcat 'cmd'` works
- `~/.zshenv` retired

**Purpose**
- Gen-7 madcat sandbox. OS-level isolation from fuji `chi` prod (marauder mcp, visor, EEMS). Trivial nuke via `userdel -r madcat`. Aligns with `/run/madcat/sessions/<id>/` UDS + `madcat/v1/*` MQTT topic namespace.

**Toolchain** (brew + rustup): opencode 1.14.48, rust 1.95.0 stable, node 25.9.0, uv 0.11.7, sqlite3 3.53.0, ffmpeg, llama-cli, gh, mosquitto-clients. System gcc + openssl 3.6.2.

**On-host repos** (`~/Projects/`): `madcat` (gen-7 monorepo), `madcat-legacy` (gen-6 rsync from fuji), `marauder-protocol`, `marauder-hq`.

**State**: zero EEMS access (intentional sandbox isolation), MQTT broker on `j:1883` rejects anon, opencode primary agent synced from fuji `core.md` (pending neutralization per AGENTS.md §0.1 / §10).

---

**One flag**: I don't have **"sinanju"** registered as a codename for this host. EEMS only has `project.uplink.phase21-sinanju` (a voice subcommand) and `reference.forge` (= junkpile's existing logical name).

Is "sinanju" a new alias you want to establish for the madcat sandbox, or were you thinking of something else?

- `self.doctrine.madcat-ssh-alias` id **6189** stored (supersedes 6179 via `supersedes` edge)
- `reference.sinanju` id **6190** stored (mirrors `reference.forge` style; FORGE/junkpile left intact as separate historical machine)
- Old id 6179 left in place but marked superseded — say the word if you want it forgotten

**AGENTS.md** edits (all stale → correct):
- Hostname: `junkpile` → `sinanju`
- IP: `10.0.0.2` → `192.168.88.108`
- Arch: `x86_64 + GPU` → `aarch64 / NVIDIA Grace + GB10, 119 GiB`
- All `madcat@j*`, `chi@junkpile`, `j:1883`, "on j", "from j" → sinanju
- §0 doctrine reference updated to 6189 + 6190
- §1 table expanded with host/arch/cpu/gpu/ram/kernel/os rows
- §1 ssh alias row notes `RequestTTY yes` + `IdentityAgent none`
- §1 added "Alternate aliases on the same host" line (`sin` / `sinanju` = chi shell)

<think>
Direct question on I don't seem mcp's on chi@sin. No tools needed.
</think>

Reason MCPs got dropped: fuji's two MCPs are **not portable as-is**:

- `browse` → `@saiden/browse@0.4.0`, **private package** symlinked from NFS (`/Volumes/junkpile-projects/browse`)
- `core` → `marauder mcp`, **the marauder binary itself** (Saiden internal, doesn't build/run on sin without major lift)

Realistic options for sin:

**A) Sync @saiden/browse to sin** — clone/rsync the browse repo to sin, `npm link`, get the same browse-mcp working. Loses NFS auto-update, but functional parity.

**B) Install public MCPs** — sin gets useful tooling, just different from fuji:
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` — file ops
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-fetch` — HTTP
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-github` — GH operations
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking` — reasoning aid
- `@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory` — knowledge graph
- `@infisical/mcp` — secrets (already on fuji globally)

**C) Both** — port browse + add public MCPs

**D) Skip MCPs on sin** — leave it as just provider + agent

Which? I'd default to **C** if you want sin to be a proper workstation — browse is genuinely useful for the ollama-driven workflow, and the public MCPs are cheap installs.

Done. **5 MCPs wired on chi@sin**, all via `npx -y` so no install step required (opencode spawns + npm fetches on first use):

| MCP | package | purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `filesystem` | `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` (2026.1.14) | scoped to `/home/chi` |
| `memory` | `@modelcontextprotocol/server-memory` (2026.1.26) | knowledge graph |
| `sequential-thinking` | `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking` (2025.12.18) | reasoning aid |
| `playwright` | `@playwright/mcp` (0.0.75) | browser automation (alt to saiden browse) |
| `infisical` | `@infisical/mcp` (0.0.23) | secrets — matches fuji |

**Dropped vs fuji**:
- `core` (marauder mcp) — binary not on sin, no EEMS DB
- `browse` (@saiden/browse) — private NFS-linked package; **playwright** substitutes for ~80% of "browse the web"
- `fetch` — was in my draft, dropped (needs uvx, not installed for chi)

Restart opencode TUI on sin, press the MCP shortcut — should now show all 5 spinning up. First invoke per session takes ~5–15s while npx fetches the package; subsequent calls are instant (cached in `~/.npm`).

Want me to install `@saiden/browse` properly (clone repo to sin, `npm link`)?

**Repo ready. Build env mostly ready. 3 deps missing.**

**~/Projects/marauder-os state**
- Branch: `master`, clean, up-to-date with origin
- Latest: `58b6a78` (sync: optional broker override)
- Version: `0.3.0` — same version the fuji binary reports (`marauder 0.3.0+2c35336`)
- Targets: 2 binaries — **`marauder`** (the MCP) + `marauder-status`
- Default features: `mqtt + mikrotik + local-embed + catapult` (full fat build)
- Private dep: `marauder-protocol` from `saiden-dev` via git+ssh

**Build env on chi@sin**
| have | missing |
|---|---|
| ✅ rustc/cargo 1.95.0 | ❌ `libssl-dev` (openssl-sys) |
| ✅ build-essential, cmake, pkg-config | ❌ `libsqlite3-dev` (rusqlite needs headers) |
| ✅ github SSH auth as `aladac` | ❌ `protobuf-compiler` (likely for marauder-protocol prost build) |

**Suggested next step** (one command, ~30 s install):
```
ssh sin 'sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev protobuf-compiler'
```

Then `cargo build --release -j8` should go. Expect ~5–15 min cold build (heavy deps: rumqttc, fastembed/ONNX runtime, git2, mikrotik-rs).

Want me to install the deps and run the build, or stop here?

Prompt queued in id 20. Ping me when done ("check") and I'll grade it against R3 ground truth (GB10 LPDDR5X ~273 GB/s vs A100 HBM2e ~1.5–2 TB/s — diffusion is bandwidth-bound, so GB10 should run **multiple times slower** despite unified memory winning capacity).

**qwen3-coder-next R3 → ✓** (28.0s) — **clean correct**: "memory bandwidth, not raw compute or memory capacity". Right diagnosis, reasonable numbers (~400-500 GB/s GB10 estimate, real is 273; better than gpt-oss's 1200 hallucination). Much improved over prior single-shot (which was self-contradictory ◐). Firing A3.

**E1 → ✗** (1.3s) — same crammed-sentence + "opencode" capture as qwen3.5:35b.

**qwen3-coder-next:latest card: 3✓ / 1◐ / 1✗** — **ties granite for best**, and ~2× faster overall (totals: granite ~58s, coder-next ~33s).

**granite vs qwen3-coder-next head-to-head:**
| Prompt | granite | coder-next |
|---|---|---|
| R3 bandwidth | ✓ 47.3s | ✓ **28.0s** |
| A3 bash | ✓ 2.4s | ✓ **1.2s** |
| N1 IDK | ✓ **666ms** | ✓ 843ms |
| G2 FOXHOUND | **✗** 3.4s | ◐ 1.2s |
| E1 intro | ◐ 4.3s | **✗** 1.3s |

Different failure modes: granite ✗ on fact recall, coder-next ✗ on identity grounding. Both ◐ the opposite. Granite's calibration (IDK speed) beats coder-next's; coder-next's raw throughput beats granite's by 2×.
