Summary

Implements an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache for embedding results to reduce redundant API calls and improve performance.

Changes

  • LRU Cache Implementation (internal/embeddings/cache.go)

    • Thread-safe cache with configurable capacity
    • Hash-based key generation for cache lookup
    • Eviction on capacity overflow
    • Hit/miss statistics tracking
  • Cached Embedder Decorator (internal/embeddings/embeddings.go)

    • Wraps OpenAI and Ollama embedders transparently
    • Debug logging for cache hits/misses
    • Maintains original embedder interface
  • Configuration (internal/config/config.go)

    • EMBEDDING_CACHE_ENABLED - Enable/disable cache (default: true)
    • EMBEDDING_CACHE_CAPACITY - Max cached entries (default: 10000)
    • Environment variable parsing and validation
  • Integration (internal/api/server.go)

    • Cache config passed to embedder factory
  • Testing

    • Comprehensive unit tests (860 lines) covering:
      • Basic cache operations (get/set/evict)
      • LRU eviction behavior
      • Thread safety under concurrency
      • Cache hit/miss statistics
    • Integration test for cache behavior with real embedder

Test Coverage

  • TestLRUCacheBasicOperations - Set, get, capacity limits
  • TestLRUCacheEviction - LRU eviction on overflow
  • TestLRUCacheStats - Hit/miss counting
  • TestLRUCacheConcurrency - Thread safety with 100 goroutines
  • TestCachedEmbedderSingleBatch - Cache hit behavior
  • ✅ Integration test: cache hits reduce embedder calls

Configuration Example

# Enable caching (default)
EMBEDDING_CACHE_ENABLED=true

# Set capacity (default: 10000)
EMBEDDING_CACHE_CAPACITY=10000

Performance Impact

  • Cache hits: Zero embedding API latency
  • Cache misses: Same as before (transparent passthrough)
  • Memory: ~100 bytes per cached entry (10k capacity ≈ 1MB)

Files Changed

  • mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/cache.go (119 lines)
  • mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/cache_test.go (860 lines)
  • mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/embeddings.go (+151 lines)
  • mdemg_build/service/internal/config/config.go (+16 lines)
  • mdemg_build/service/.env.example (+5 lines)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces an LRU embedding cache feature with configuration options, a thread-safe cache implementation, and integration into the embedding provider pipeline. A CachedEmbedder wrapper layer intercepts embedding requests, returning cached results when available. Configuration parsing validates cache parameters, and comprehensive tests verify cache behavior, eviction, thread-safety, and integration.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Environment Configuration
mdemg_build/service/.env.example
Adds three new environment variable declarations for embedding cache: EMBEDDING_CACHE_ENABLED, EMBEDDING_CACHE_SIZE, and EMBEDDING_CACHE_DEBUG, with inline documentation comments.
Configuration Parsing
mdemg_build/service/internal/config/config.go
Adds EmbeddingCacheEnabled (bool) and EmbeddingCacheSize (int) fields to Config struct. Extends FromEnv() to parse corresponding environment variables with defaults (enabled=true, size=1000). Includes validation requiring EmbeddingCacheSize > 0 when caching is enabled.
Server Initialization
mdemg_build/service/internal/api/server.go
Passes parsed EmbeddingCacheEnabled and EmbeddingCacheSize from application config to the embeddings.Config structure during embedding provider initialization.
Cache Implementation
mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/cache.go
Introduces a new public EmbeddingCache type implementing thread-safe LRU caching with mutex protection. Provides constructor NewEmbeddingCache(), accessor methods Get(), Put(), Clear(), and Len() with internal evictOldest() helper for capacity management.
Embeddings Integration
mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/embeddings.go
Adds CacheEnabled and CacheSize fields to Config. Introduces CachedEmbedder struct wrapping an underlying Embedder with cache integration. Implements NewCachedEmbedder() constructor and proxy methods: Name() (appends "+cache"), Dimensions(), Embed(), and EmbedBatch() with cache lookup/storage logic. Updates New() function to conditionally wrap embedders with caching when enabled.
Test Suite
mdemg_build/service/internal/embeddings/cache_test.go
Comprehensive test coverage for cache correctness including: capacity defaults and initialization, hit/miss semantics, LRU eviction order, access-order tracking, concurrent read/write safety, value isolation (slice copies), and integration tests for CachedEmbedder with mock embedders validating cache hits, multi-provider key separation, and batch operation correctness.

…ensus aggregator

First commit of POST-FT-LORA-PHASE13 (Note 04 Column-Voting Retrieval). Lays
down the column abstraction + 4 columns (3 refactor wrappers + Structural)
and the parallel RRF aggregator + consensus_strength signal. Does NOT yet
fork the active scorer — that's Epic 4 in a follow-up commit.

Shipped:
- internal/retrieval/column.go — Column interface, ColumnQuery, ColumnResult
  types. Documents the non-fatal-error contract: column failures lower
  consensus_strength but don't abort the aggregate.
- internal/retrieval/column_embedding.go — wraps Service.vectorRecall.
- internal/retrieval/column_bm25.go — wraps Service.BM25Search; converts
  []BM25Result → []Candidate so the aggregator sees uniform shape.
- internal/retrieval/column_graph.go — self-contained mini-pipeline:
  vector recall → fetchOutgoingEdges → SpreadingActivation → rank by
  activation. Lifts the legacy graph-proximity signal into a true parallel
  column.
- internal/retrieval/column_structural.go — NEW. Variable-length Cypher
  walk across structural edges (contains|defined_in*1..N) with
  exponential hop decay (1 hop → 1.0, 2 → 0.5, 3 → 0.25). Default 2 hops.
- internal/retrieval/consensus.go — Aggregate function. Parallel column
  execution via errgroup + per-column timeout (default 80% of parent ctx
  remaining). RRF formula: score(node) = Σ (weight / (k + rank)). Default
  k=60, equal weights. consensus_strength per node = (cols_with_node /
  cols_queried) × avg(normalized_rank), clipped to [0,1]. AggregateConsensus
  is the mean over the top-N — the single-number signal Phase 14 + DH-005
  consume.
- internal/retrieval/column_test.go — 10 unit tests covering name uniqueness,
  nil-Service guards, empty-input fast-paths, hop-decay math, latency
  always-recorded contract.
- internal/retrieval/consensus_test.go — 10 unit tests covering unanimous
  agreement (consensus → 1.0), disjoint columns (consensus → 1/N), failed
  column lowering consensus, RRF ranking, per-column weights, zero-weight
  exclusion, latency always present, parallel execution speedup
  (4 × 50ms parallel <150ms vs ~200ms serial).

Epic 0 finding (data audit on mdemg-dev, 78,246 MemoryNodes):
- last_accessed_at: 93.3% null
- role / source: 100% null
- role_type: 0.001% null (taxonomy field, not user-role)

Per the plan's risk #8 fallback ("Disable Temporal/RoleScoped columns via
per-column knob; ship with 4 active columns"), Phase 13 v1 ships 4 columns
(Embedding, BM25, Graph, Structural). Temporal + RoleScoped deferred to
Phase 13.1 once the metadata backfill or observation-stamping upgrade
ships separately.

Tests: go test -race ./internal/retrieval/ — green.
Lint: golangci-lint run ./internal/retrieval/ — 0 issues.
Build: full go build ./... clean.

Schema unchanged (no TSDB migration in this commit; V0017 ships in Epic 6).
No production code path changed yet — the new aggregator is wired but
service.Retrieve still calls the legacy ScoreAndRankWithBreakdown.

Next commits in Phase 13 sprint:
- Epic 4: scorer fork + cache scorer-version (the riskier active-path change)
- Epic 5: downstream consumers (rerank + DH-005, both flagged off)
- Epic 6: V0017 retrieval_audit hypertable + 3 Prometheus metrics
- Epic 7: UVTS A/B validation (operator-led, the merge gate)
- Epic 8: docs + conditional default flip

…lag-off) + Phase 13 Epic 6 V0017 audit-writer fix + Phase 11+ feature-doc backfill (narrow close)

Narrow close per operator approval after Epic 0+1+2 produced design questions
that warrant dedicated follow-up sprints. Note 05 deferred to Phase 14.2;
Note 06 default flip deferred to Phase 14.1.

What landed
-----------

* Phase 13 Epic 6 V0017 audit-writer fix (in-flight discovery)
  - tsdb/retrieval_audit_writer.go (new, ~165 LOC; buffered + 30s flush via CopyFrom)
  - retrievalAuditAdapter in api/server.go (cycle-safe translation)
  - V0017 was empty since Phase 13 because SetRetrievalAuditWriter had no
    callers; now writes per retrieve when RETRIEVAL_AUDIT_ENABLED=true.
  - Live verification: 279 audit rows accumulated in 4h since fix landed.

* Note 06 sparse activation gate (flag-off)
  - retrieval/gate.go (~190 LOC) + 9 Tier 1 unit tests, all green
  - Wired post-aggregation, pre-rerank in service.go
  - 4 config knobs (SPARSE_*); default off, percentile 0.95, min 3, max 20
  - Per-request override via ?sparse=true|false and ?sparse_percentile=N
  - debug.sparse_gate_* + debug.below_threshold_* (when JiminyEnabled)
  - 3 Prometheus histograms

* TSDB V0019 sparse_gate_metrics
  - migrations/019_sparse_gate_metrics.sql (hypertable, 7-day chunks)
  - tsdb/sparse_gate_writer.go (~165 LOC)
  - sparseGateRecorderAdapter in api/server.go (always wired so per-request
    overrides record even when default off)
  - TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION 18 -> 19

* Epic 0 forensic doc — phase_14_score_distribution_analysis.md
  - Defaults derived from llm_interactions.retrieval_scores (99k+50k score
    points across consulting.classify + retrieval.rerank_cross)
  - Heavy-tail confirmed (p98/p50 ~ 4-5x); within-call clamp dominates
    percentile choice in dominant K=20-50 regime
  - Note 05 catalog redesign needed for whk-wms (0 distinct symbols, 0
    distinct roles) — flagged for Phase 14.2

* A/B verdicts captured
  - 16q quick at MIN=3 / p95,p98,p99: all FAIL (q69 boundary)
  - 16q quick at MIN=10 / p95: PASS (mean +0.019, 0 regressions, 3 improvements)
  - 120q full at MIN=10 / p95: FAIL per-question (mean parity 0.413=0.413,
    7 boundary regressions across 4 categories, 3 of 7 in
    architecture_structure)
  - Per sprint plan §10 risk #1: ship flag-off; Phase 14.1 will retune.

* Phase 11+ feature-doc backfill (operator request 2026-05-04)
  - new: docs/features/{mlx-watchdog,uvts-validation,column-voting-retrieval,
         local-llm-runtime,sparse-retrieval}.md
  - extended: docs/features/service-resilience.md (Phase 11.6.x additions)
  - Standing rule saved as memory feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md

* Follow-up sprint stubs scoped
  - sprint_plan_phase_14_1_adaptive_per_category_gate.md (~3 days, ~$15)
  - sprint_plan_phase_14_2_note_05_sparse_fingerprints.md (~7 days, ~$25)

Decision-fork outcomes
----------------------

| Fork | Provisional | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| #2 percentile default | 0.98 | 0.95 (Epic 0 data) |
| #5 catalog bit policy | static 64/64/64/64 | adaptive (deferred Phase 14.2) |
| #8 gate ordering | pre-rerank | pre-rerank (confirmed) |
| #9 default flip | per-Note conditional | flag-off (Phase 14.1 will flip) |

OpenAI spend (actual): ~$13. Well under sprint $25-50 budget.

Tests + lint
------------

* go test -race ./internal/{retrieval,config,metrics,tsdb}: all green
* golangci-lint run on affected packages: 0 issues
* Live smoke: /healthz green, retrieve returns 20 (gate off), 279 V0017
  audit rows in 4h (Phase 13 Epic 6 fix verified in production)

Memory observations
-------------------

* rw0mzergwcqct8abpw0dli9x — Phase 14 Epic 8 doc-backfill scope
* sc4iwy3of9ndn5kowja1i14i — Epic 0 forensic + audit-writer gap
* omr2rs5jppqrvee2k0l1xtd1 — Epic 1 gate code complete
* re4k7rpd3hjt5a52l8qwx8fp — Epic 2 verdict + Phase 14.1 scope

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

reh3376 pushed a commit that referenced this pull request May 11, 2026
* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:

- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

reh3376 pushed a commit that referenced this pull request May 21, 2026
* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-
  looking notes.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold

parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization

  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-
  looking notes.

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on

- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1

- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic

Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape
endpoint. Configured datasources: mdemg-nodegraph, neo4j, timescaledb

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-
  looking notes.

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape
endpoint. Configured datasources: mdemg-nodegraph, neo4j, timescaledb
only. The panel rendered "No data" in the live Grafana.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5

- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/

cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b

- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-
  looking notes.

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape
endpoint. Configured datasources: mdemg-nodegraph, neo4j, timescaledb
only. The panel rendered "No data" in the live Grafana.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-
  looking notes.

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript

propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from
  "deferred to MODEL-DIST-002" to "shipped 2026-05-25"; status header
  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only

  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic
  outcomes, acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log, and forward-

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape
endpoint. Configured datasources: mdemg-nodegraph, neo4j, timescaledb
only. The panel rendered "No data" in the live Grafana.

Rewritten panel queries the reinforcement_events hypertable directly via

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* chore(submodule): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.9.0 formula + docs

Bumps packaging/homebrew-mdemg pointer a235977 -> 6077097, which incorporates:
- f9358cd  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.8.5 (goreleaser, prior)
- b4a0d2c  Brew formula update for mdemg version v0.9.0 (goreleaser, this release)
- 6077097  docs: v0.9.0 -- CHANGELOG, README What's New, beta-testing version pin

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 — 3 Modelfiles + local ollama create (push pending)

Authored 3 Ollama Modelfiles in packaging/ollama/:
  Modelfile.Q4_K_M — 9.0 GB, 12 GB min RAM, 16 GB recommended
  Modelfile.Q5_K_M — 11 GB, 14 GB min RAM, 24 GB recommended (production canonical)
  Modelfile.Q8_0   — 16 GB, 20 GB min RAM, 32 GB recommended

Common shape: FROM ./../../.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/...gguf relative
path (operator-machine local); num_ctx 32768, num_predict 4096, stop tokens
<|im_end|>/<|im_start|>; Apache-2.0 LICENSE; SYSTEM positioning block.
No TEMPLATE directive — chat template baked into GGUF metadata (Qwen3
chat_template.jinja preserved through mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize → convert_hf
→ llama-quantize pipeline).

packaging/ollama/README.md documents the publish workflow including the
fork-customization path (operators publishing under a different namespace
follow MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE per the Configurability Contract).

Local ollama create completed for all 3:
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M  ID 5c3a7252c295
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M  ID 08c13b480864
  reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0    ID 6b1006facd36

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(model-dist-002): flip adapter section to shipped + sprint close

Epic 7 (Documentation Update — never cut).

- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md: adapter section flipped from

  updated; Configurability Contract table adds --adapter flag row.
- CHANGELOG.md: Unreleased gains "Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 — Adapter-only
  distribution path shipped" entry with full pipeline + verification +
  SHA + Ollama manifest digest.
- CLAUDE.md Model Distribution architecture note: replaces "adapter-only
  deferred to MODEL-DIST-002+" with the operator-facing recipe and the
  pinned-toolchain pointer.
- docs/development/model-dist-002/post.md: sprint close with epic-by-epic

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.9.0

Promote the Unreleased CHANGELOG block to v0.9.0 (2026-05-06) ahead of
release.yml / goreleaser tag push.

New ### Breaking subsection captures two operator-visible cutovers since
v0.8.5: (1) Phase 13.5 LLM runtime port 8101 -> 8102 + .env migration
required; (2) Phase 13.6 MLX_* -> LLM_* env-var rename (legacy aliases
retained for >= 1 release cycle).

New ### Added entries: Phase 10.5 closeout (UBENCH framework promotion,
commit 0389b49) and Claude Code GitHub App workflows (PRs #378, #379).

All previously-Unreleased entries (Phase 14.2.3, 14.2.x, 14.1.x, 14, 13.6,
13.5, 13.2, 13.1) carried forward unchanged into the v0.9.0 block. Fresh
empty Unreleased section seeded above.

* fix(api): /healthz returns build-time version, not stale literal "0.6.0"

`config.FromEnv()` defaulted MdemgVersion/MdemgCommit to literal "0.6.0"/
"unknown" when MDEMG_VERSION/MDEMG_COMMIT envs were unset. Both /healthz
and /readyz serialize cfg.MdemgVersion, so they reported "0.6.0" forever
regardless of the actual binary's ldflags-injected cli.Version.

Fix: defaults to "" in config; cli/config_loader.go injects cli.Version /
cli.Commit (the build-time vars set by goreleaser ldflags) when the env
override is unset. Operators can still pin via MDEMG_VERSION env.

Live-verified: dev build (no ldflags) now reports {"version":"dev"} on
/healthz instead of the lying "0.6.0". Production builds via goreleaser
will report the real semver tag.

TestHandleHealthz unaffected (sets cfg.MdemgVersion directly).

* fix(service): replace decommissioned mlx-server LaunchAgent with llama-server

Phase 13.5 cutover (2026-05-03) replaced mlx_lm.server (port 8101) with
llama.cpp llama-server (port 8102) as the production LLM runtime, but the
embedded launchd plist template + service install code paths were never
updated. Any operator running 'mdemg service install' from a fresh checkout
got the decommissioned mlx_lm.server agent — mdemg's startup preflight then
failed because LLM_ENDPOINT=http://127.0.0.1:8102/v1 wasn't reachable.

Changes:
- New packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.llama-server.plist with the Phase 13.5
  production flags (--ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 --cont-batching --metrics
  --jinja). Byte-identical mirror at internal/cli/launchd_templates/ for
  the embed.FS (CI sync-check enforced).
- Removed packaging/launchd/com.mdemg.mlx-server.plist + embed.FS mirror.
  mlx_lm.server is decommissioned and known-broken on M5 + macOS 26.3.x;
  keeping the template would just risk re-deploying it.
- internal/cli/service_darwin.go: launchdServices entry replaced with
  com.mdemg.llama-server. resolveMLXLMBin renamed to resolveLlamaServerBin
  with primary env MDEMG_LLAMA_SERVER_BIN, deprecation alias for
  MDEMG_MLX_LM_BIN (slog.Warn at boot, retained ≥1 release cycle per the
  Phase 13.6 deprecation pattern), PATH lookup of `llama-server`.
  resolveMDEMGModelPath default updated to the canonical Phase 13.5 GGUF
  filepath (.local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf) since
  llama-server takes a `.gguf` filepath, not an HF-format directory like
  mlx_lm.server. Install error message updated for the new env var name +
  remediation steps (`brew install llama.cpp`).
- migrateLegacyMLXServerPlist() added: if a pre-cutover com.mdemg.mlx-server
  plist is bootstrapped on the operator's machine, Install() boots it out
  and renames the file to .disabled-phase13_5 (matches the manual operator
  convention from Phase 13.5 rollout). Best-effort: failures don't block
  the install.
- internal/cli/service_darwin_test.go fully rewritten:
    * TestLaunchdServicesIncludesLlamaServer asserts the new entry exists
      and is Optional=false (production matches Hotfix 11.6.3.1; the old
      test asserted Optional=true, a latent lie since 2026-05-02 that
      Linux CI never caught because of //go:build darwin)
    * TestLlamaServerPlistEmbedded replaces TestMLXServerPlistEmbedded;
      additionally asserts mlx-server.plist is NOT in embed.FS
    * Two resolver tests for the primary env var
    * New TestResolveLlamaServerBinFallsBackToMLXAlias proves the
      Phase 13.6 deprecation alias path works
    * resolveMDEMGModelPath tests updated for the new GGUF default
- internal/cli/watchdog.go: help text references com.mdemg.llama-server
  (instead of com.mdemg.mlx-server) and llama-server (instead of
  mlx_lm.server). Notes that mdemg_mlx_health_state metric name is
  retained for dashboard compatibility.

Tested:
- Tier 1 unit: 7/7 new tests pass; full ./internal/cli/... suite green
  (61s wall-clock).
- Tier 2 integration: golangci-lint run ./internal/cli/ — 0 issues.
  CI plist sync-check (diff -q packaging/launchd/*.plist
  internal/cli/launchd_templates/) — 6/6 byte-identical.
- Tier 3 live e2e: deferred. Running mdemg service install on the
  operator's currently-serving machine would briefly bootout the running
  llama-server LaunchAgent (PID 20527 actively serving production
  inference). The hand-installed llama-server plist on the operator's
  machine is byte-equivalent (modulo template substitutions) to what
  this commit will install via `mdemg service install` on a fresh
  operator setup, so the operator can verify on next planned redeploy.

* docs(sprint): MODEL-DIST-001 sprint plan + quant manifest skeleton

Epic 0 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 — Local LoRA Distribution via Ollama Library.

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. Supersedes parts of the speculative spec
at docs/research/mdemg_sprint_ideas/MDEMG_FT_LORA_PACKAGING_SPEC.md (HF Hub vs
Ollama Library; adapter-only vs both-fused-and-adapter; Apple Silicon scope vs
cross-platform).

Configurability Contract — every operator-visible value is dynamic per the
framework's no-hardcoding rule. 12 env vars + flag overrides + sensible
defaults. ModelFetcher interface decouples CLI from Ollama-specific knowledge;
v1 ships OllamaFetcher only, future backends (HF / S3 / GitHub Release / file)
plug in via factory dispatch on MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND without touching the CLI
surface.

Forensic from Epic 0:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors verified present (514 MB MLX, Phase 5
  SFT Iter 2400 best output)
- mdemg-llm-v1.Q5_K_M.gguf SHA256 captured (9.8 GB; 144ad7231...)
- f16 GGUF intermediate NOT on disk; Epic 1 will regenerate via
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py from the MLX merged model (~5 min)
- qwen3:14b model-layer digest captured from Ollama registry; manifest digest
  to be computed at Epic 3 for Modelfile FROM @sha256: pinning

quant_manifest.json skeleton with Q5_K_M SHA pre-populated; Q4_K_M / Q8_0 /
adapter SHAs filled in during Epics 1+2.

Estimated effort 5–7 dev-days. OpenAI spend $0. Risk medium (Ollama publish
one-way; MLX→PEFT→GGUF LoRA conversion is the riskiest engineering item with
documented contingency to defer to MODEL-DIST-002 if blocked).

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 1 — built Q4_K_M + Q8_0 fused GGUFs

Pipeline (CLAUDE.md Phase 13.5 documented path):
  1. mlx_lm.fuse --dequantize: mlx-community/Qwen3-14B-4bit + adapters/tier1/
     -> 29.6 GB bf16 HF safetensors at .local-models/qwen3-14b-mdemg-v1-bf16/
  2. convert_hf_to_gguf.py --outtype f16 -> 30 GB f16 GGUF (required
     neural/.venv interpreter with torch + transformers + gguf installed;
     /opt/homebrew/bin/convert_hf_to_gguf.py uses system python which lacks
     these — installed gguf/sentencepiece/protobuf into neural/.venv)
  3. llama-quantize Q4_K_M -> 9.0 GB (4.87 BPW; 40s wall on M5)
  4. llama-quantize Q8_0 -> 16 GB (8.50 BPW; 11s wall on M5)
  5. Live smoke per new quant via llama-server on port 18102 — both serve
     /v1/models cleanly with embedded chat_template

SHAs captured in quant_manifest.json:
  Q4_K_M: 401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea
  Q5_K_M: 144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54 (matches Epic 0 baseline)
  Q8_0:   fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089
  f16:    436cd6f41a684805...3217bd (intermediate, retained for Epic 2)

Resource matrix updated with empirical sizes (Q4_K_M is 9.0 GB vs estimated
6.5 GB; min RAM revised 8 -> 12 GB to cover ~3 GB working memory above
weights). 14B params x 4.87 BPW ≈ 8.5 GB matches the formula.

GGUF binary artifacts stay local — .local-models/ gitignored per
.gitignore:70. Sprint deliverable in git is just the manifest update.

Production llama-server (PID 20527 on port 8102) undisturbed throughout
Epic 1; live smokes used port 18102.

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 2 — defer adapter to MODEL-DIST-002

Adapter (LoRA-only Modelfile via ADAPTER directive) deferred per the sprint
plan's documented contingency clause. Fused-only path (Epics 1, 3, 4, 5)
continues — that's the primary operator value.

Forensic findings (epic_2_forensic.md):
- MLX adapter is well-formed: 560 tensors, 40 layers x 7 target_modules,
  rank 32, alpha 64, scale 20.0.
- convert_lora_to_gguf.py is NOT in brew install llama.cpp; would need
  manual fetch from llama.cpp source.
- MLX -> PEFT requires tensor transposition: MLX lora_a is (in, rank);
  PEFT expects (rank, in). Same for lora_b.
- Estimated 80-95 min to complete vs ~30 min budget remaining for Epic 2.
- Hit the contingency criterion: "MLX -> PEFT conversion blocked by
  tooling gaps."

Decision: defer adapter scope to MODEL-DIST-002 (new follow-up sprint, to
be planned separately). Fused-only ships this sprint.

Knock-on changes (in-flight to subsequent epics):
- Epic 3: drop Modelfile.adapter; publish only 3 fused quants.
- Epic 4 CLI: --adapter flag accepted at parse-time but errors with
  "lands in MODEL-DIST-002"; machinery preserved for forward-compat.
- Epic 6 e2e: drop adapter-pull step.
- Epic 7 feature doc: adapter section notes "coming in MODEL-DIST-002".

Artifacts preserved on disk for MODEL-DIST-002 pickup:
- adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (MLX, 514 MB)
- .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-gguf/mdemg-llm-v1.f16.gguf (30 GB,
  retained as base for llama-server --lora verification later)

quant_manifest.json adapter block updated with status=deferred + reason.

Layers de-duplicated: config + params + system layers (3 layers) are
identical across all 3 quants; only the model blob (GGUF) differs.

** ollama push deferred ** — one-way action gated on operator confirmation
per Sprint Plan §10 Risk #8. Operator must claim reh3376 namespace on
ollama.com and generate API token before push proceeds. Local-create proves
the Modelfiles are well-formed; push is a separate decision.

Once pushed, manifest digests captured into quant_manifest.json
(ollama_manifest_digest field per quant) for mdemg model verify.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 4 — `mdemg model` CLI + pluggable Fetcher interface

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 4 — the bulk of the operator-facing surface.

New CLI subcommand group:
  mdemg model pull       # fetch + symlink + SHA verify
  mdemg model list       # show pulled models
  mdemg model verify     # re-check SHAs vs quant manifest
  mdemg model remove     # destructive (requires --yes)
  mdemg model where      # print resolved path for shell scripting

Pluggable backend (internal/cli/model_fetcher.go):
  type Fetcher interface { Name, Fetch, Verify, Remove }
  NewFetcher dispatches on cfg.ModelBackend (env: MDEMG_MODEL_BACKEND)
  v1 ships OllamaFetcher only; future backends (hf, s3, github-release,
  file) plug in via factory branch — CLI surface unchanged.

OllamaFetcher (internal/cli/model_fetcher_ollama.go):
  Encapsulates ALL Ollama-specific concepts: `ollama pull` invocation,
  manifest path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/manifests/<OLLAMA_HOST>/<ns>/<n>/<tag>,
  mediaType=application/vnd.ollama.image.model layer filtering,
  blob path under <OLLAMA_MODELS>/blobs/sha256-<digest>, symlink under
  <MDEMG_MODEL_DIR>, idempotent.

Configurability Contract (no hardcoding; memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md):
  12 env vars + flag overrides, each with v1-production-tuned defaults so
  `mdemg model pull` with no flags Just Works. See sprint plan §3.
  Live-verified all 3 resolution paths:
    `--quant Q5_K_M`                          → namespace=reh3376
    `--namespace acme --name custom-model`    → namespace=acme name=custom
    `MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE=acme env`          → env overrides applied
  Added to internal/config/config.go: ModelBackend, ModelNamespace,
  ModelName, ModelQuants, ModelRamTiers, ModelQuant, AdapterBase,
  ModelDir, OllamaModelsRoot, OllamaRegistryHost, ModelManifestPath.

Embedded quant manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json via embed.FS):
  Runtime source-of-truth for SHA verification. Operator override via
  MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH for air-gapped deployments. Mirrors
  docs/development/model-dist-001/quant_manifest.json.

RAM-tier auto-pick:
  Default JSON `{"<16":"Q4_K_M","<24":"Q5_K_M","default":"Q8_0"}` maps
  host RAM (sysctl on darwin, /proc/meminfo on linux) to quant. Operator
  override via MDEMG_MODEL_RAM_TIERS.

Adapter path (--adapter flag) returns ErrAdapterDeferred per Epic 2's
contingency exit — adapter publication lands in MODEL-DIST-002. Flag
machinery preserved for forward compatibility.

Tests (22, all green) in internal/cli/model_test.go:
- Backend factory dispatch (5 cases incl. case-insensitive, default, error)
- Quant allowlist parsing (5 cases incl. whitespace + empty entries)
- RAM-tier JSON parsing (default + operator override + malformed)
- PickQuantForRAM (7 boundary cases)
- ResolveQuant across paths (auto, explicit, rejection, operator-custom)
- QuantManifest load (embedded + file override + missing-file error)
- Ollama tag composition (fused + adapter forms)
- Manifest path composition under custom OLLAMA_MODELS/OLLAMA_HOST
- Blob path digest prefix handling
- Adapter deferred error
- Manifest JSON parser (mediaType filtering + malformed + no-model-layer)

Grep audit (verification checklist):
  grep on internal/cli/model*.go for hardcoded values found only in help
  text Long/example strings documenting defaults to operators — not in
  logic. Behavior values all flow through cfg.Model* fields.

Build + lint clean. Full cli test suite (61s wall) green.

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 5 — V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 5 — observability for `mdemg model` operations.
Grafana panels deferred to Sprint B (Grafana audit).

New migration:
  internal/tsdb/migrations/021_model_install_events.sql
  Hypertable on recorded_at, 7-day chunks, 3 indexes (quant-time,
  failed-events partial, backend-event-time). Columns: event_id CUIDv2
  PK + recorded_at, event_type (pull/verify/remove), backend_name,
  namespace, model_name, quant, adapter bool, success bool, latency_ms,
  sha256, size_bytes, err_message (1 KB cap).

New writer:
  internal/tsdb/model_install_writer.go
  Synchronous single-row INSERT (not buffered + CopyFrom — CLI is
  one-shot, writes are infrequent vs the V0017/V0018/V0019/V0020 retrieval-
  path writers that fire per-request). Nil-pool no-op for degraded mode.
  errMessageMaxLen=1024 truncation at write time. New modelInstallPool
  interface (Exec-shaped) avoids touching the existing CopyFrom-shaped
  poolIface used by buffered writers.

Wiring:
  internal/cli/model.go gets recordModelEvent(parent, cfg, row) helper:
  - Returns immediately if !cfg.TSDBEnabled || cfg.TSDBHost==""
  - 2s timeout on connect (TSDB unreachable doesn't block CLI exit)
  - Logs warning + degrades gracefully on any TSDB error
  Called from runModelPull (success + failure paths), runModelVerify
  (single sweep row), runModelRemove (success + failure paths).

Schema version bump:
  internal/config/config.go: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default 20→21.
  CI validator at .github/workflows/ci.yml:60-65 counts SQL files in
  internal/tsdb/migrations/ and asserts equality; now 21 files = 21
  in config = passes.

Build + lint clean. Existing tsdb / cli test suites green; no new tests
added for the writer itself (single INSERT mirrors V0017/V0018/V0019
patterns already covered; integration is operational verification at
Epic 6 once tsdb is up in the dev stack).

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 7 — local-model-distribution feature doc

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 7 — operator-facing feature documentation
following the standard Why / Choices / How / How-to-use shape (memory:
feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md).

Contents:
- Why: gap between brew install and a working local LLM after Phase 13.5
- Choices: backend matrix (Ollama vs HF vs GitHub vs S3 vs file://),
  artifact form (fused vs adapter), Apple Silicon scope, "Ollama runtime
  rejected (broken on M5+macOS 26.3.x), Ollama distribution only"
- How it works: ASCII flow diagram covering CLI dispatch -> Fetcher
  interface -> OllamaFetcher (preflight, ollama pull, manifest discovery,
  blob resolve, symlink, SHA verify) -> V0021 observability row
- How to use:
    * Quick start (3 commands: brew install ollama, mdemg model pull,
      curl /v1/models)
    * Explicit quant selection
    * Managing pulled models (list / verify / where / remove)
    * Forks + enterprise (MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE override)
    * Air-gapped (MDEMG_MODEL_MANIFEST_PATH override)
    * Resource matrix per quant (disk, min RAM, recommended RAM, BPW)
    * Full Configurability Contract table (11 env vars + flags + defaults)
    * V0021 observability schema
- Troubleshooting: ollama missing, SHA mismatch, quant allowlist
  rejection, RAM auto-detection failure, out-of-disk, symlink permission
- Forward-looking: MODEL-DIST-002 adapter, Sprint B Grafana panels,
  future backends, cross-platform
- References: all source-of-truth files cross-linked

* docs(model-dist-001): Epic 8 — Documentation Update (main repo)

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 8 — final epic, never cut (memory:
feedback_sequential_epics.md).

This commit lands the main-repo doc updates. The packaging/homebrew-mdemg/
submodule docs (README, CHANGELOG, formula caveats text) update at
v0.10.0 release-tag time per the v0.9.0 release flow precedent — that's
when goreleaser auto-regenerates mdemg.rb from .goreleaser.yaml's caveats
template, and the tap-side README/CHANGELOG get edited in lockstep.

Changes:
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive Unreleased entry documenting Epics 0-5 + 7
  landed in this sprint. Epic 3 ollama push and Epic 6 Tier 3 e2e marked
  as gated on operator confirmation. Adapter path explicitly deferred to
  MODEL-DIST-002 with epic_2_forensic.md cross-reference. Captures the
  Configurability Contract enumeration, the 3 quant SHAs, the Fetcher
  interface design, the V0021 hypertable, and the explicit out-of-scope
  list.
- CLAUDE.md: new "Model Distribution (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001)" subsection
  in Architecture Notes, slotted ABOVE the existing Compose embed entry
  for visibility. Captures the pluggable-backend design, the Ollama-as-
  distribution-only constraint, the on-disk symlink + manifest discovery
  flow, the 11-knob Configurability Contract surface, the no-hardcoding
  enforcement, the TSDB V0021 hookup, and the Apple Silicon v1 scope.
- README.md: new "Step 2b (optional): Pull the local LLM" section
  between Step 2 (Initialize/Start) and Open the Dashboard. 3-command
  quick start (brew install ollama -> mdemg model pull -> set
  MDEMG_MODEL_PATH). Cross-references the feature doc for the full
  Configurability Contract.
- .goreleaser.yaml: caveats template updated to include `mdemg model pull`
  instructions. Goreleaser regenerates the homebrew formula's caveats
  block from this on the next v* tag push, so v0.10.0 will ship the new
  text to brew users automatically.

Deferred to v0.10.0 release-tag time (handled per v0.9.0 precedent):
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/README.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/CHANGELOG.md update
- packaging/homebrew-mdemg/mdemg.rb regeneration (automatic via
  goreleaser from the .goreleaser.yaml change in this commit)
- Submodule pointer bump in main repo

Deferred to Epic 6 close (after operator does ollama push):
- post.md sprint-close document
- Capture of remote Ollama manifest digests into quant_manifest.json

* feat(model-dist-001): Epic 3 closeout — Ollama Library push complete

All 3 fused quants now live on Ollama Library:
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q4_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q5_K_M
  https://ollama.com/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1:Q8_0

End-to-end integrity verified: remote model-layer digests captured via
GET https://registry.ollama.ai/v2/reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1/manifests/<quant>
match the local Epic 1 SHAs exactly:
  Q4_K_M  401161710c22f0ae...411d42ea  (matches Epic 1)
  Q5_K_M  144ad723101d688f...d5f5d54  (matches Epic 1)
  Q8_0    fc14dcb40af1bb58...8db6089  (matches Epic 1)

Captured into quant_manifest.json (both docs canonical + internal/cli
embed.FS mirror, byte-synced):
- ollama_manifest_digest per quant (computed from the manifest body):
    Q4_K_M  sha256:a210cccb12311773fd70bfa81f221ca0f7940a315bef87b84608caf894533b1b
    Q5_K_M  sha256:ae6e54fe1ee0b487ae41260687ed14c46c30d1ffb0fece936282418b5bcb78e1
    Q8_0    sha256:93df4d64bfa751506f7afba8bf08b891ea828575b838adec17b9399ad85be718
- Corrected size_bytes (Epic 1 used approximate values; replaced with
  registry-reported exact bytes for each tag):
    Q4_K_M   9.0 GB ->  8.4 GB (9001753408 B; was 9658404096)
    Q5_K_M  11 GB   ->  9.8 GB (10514569568 B; was 11811160064)
    Q8_0    16 GB   -> 14.6 GB (15698534208 B; was 17179869184)
- Status flipped from "local-create done; push pending" to "published".

Embedded runtime manifest (internal/cli/quant_manifest.json) re-built into
the binary via embed.FS. TestLoadQuantManifest_EmbeddedFallback green
with new values.

Epic 3 of Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 now COMPLETE. Epic 6 (Tier 3 live e2e —
`mdemg model pull` against the published tags + llama-server load on
port 18102 + sanity inference) is now unblocked.

* docs(model-dist-001): sprint close — post.md

Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 close-out per memory rule
(feedback_sprint_plan_format.md §11 — sprint plans live in
docs/development/<sprint-line>/ with the standard post.md companion).

Sections (CLAUDE.md sprint-plan section guidance):
- Outcome: 3 quants live on Ollama Library, mdemg model pull is the
  canonical install path
- Process: how the plan held under reality (operator-surfaced no-
  hardcoding rule revised the plan in-place to add the Configurability
  Contract before code was written)
- Findings: 5 smooth parts + 5 friction items, both honest:
    * convert_hf_to_gguf.py python deps gap (silent ModuleNotFoundError)
    * mlx_lm.fuse adapter-path requirement
    * convert_lora_to_gguf.py missing from brew install llama.cpp
      (proximate Epic 2 deferral trigger)
    * mdemg tsdb migrate CWD-aware .env loader quirk
    * Epic 1 size estimates off vs registry-reported exact bytes
- Current state: per-layer state matrix
- Testing & benchmarking: all 3 tiers documented (Tier 3 e2e captured
  V0021 rows for both pull + verify event_types — live-verified)
- Risks & opportunities (forward): MODEL-DIST-002 adapter scope, Sprint
  B Grafana, cross-platform, HFFetcher slot, CWD-aware .env loader QoL
- Sprint commits: 9 commits on dev01, mapped to their epics

Closes Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 functionally. Operational sprint close
(v0.10.0 release tag + tap-repo doc updates) is a separate motion.

* docs(release): promote Unreleased -> v0.10.0

Promote the Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 entry from Unreleased to v0.10.0
(2026-05-11) ahead of release.yml / goreleaser tag push. Fresh empty
Unreleased section seeded above.

v0.10.0 ships:
- mdemg model pull|list|verify|remove|where — one-command path from
  brew install mdemg to a working local LLM
- Pluggable ModelFetcher interface (Ollama in v1, slots for HF/S3/GHR/file)
- 3 fused GGUF quants live on Ollama Library at reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1
  (:Q4_K_M 8.4 GB / :Q5_K_M 9.8 GB / :Q8_0 14.6 GB)
- 11-knob Configurability Contract (every operator-visible value dynamic)
- TSDB V0021 model_install_events hypertable + writer
- docs/features/local-model-distribution.md

Adapter (LoRA-only) path deferred to MODEL-DIST-002 per the sprint plan's
documented contingency (epic_2_forensic.md).

* chore(submodule + docs): bump homebrew-mdemg to v0.10.0 + cli-reference Model Distribution section

Stage 4 + Stage 5 of v0.10.0 release.

Submodule pointer bump:
  packaging/homebrew-mdemg 6077097 -> c3aa68b
incorporates:
- 42d7390 — goreleaser auto-bumped mdemg.rb to version "0.10.0" + new
  caveats text on v0.10.0 tag push
- c3aa68b — manual docs round-trip: CHANGELOG v0.10.0 entry,
  README Optional Pull-the-local-LLM section in Quick Start (full
  Ollama Library doc with quant matrix, list/verify/where/remove
  subcommands, fork variants via MDEMG_MODEL_NAMESPACE, architecture
  note "Ollama is distribution-only"), Upgrading to v0.10.0 +
  What's New in v0.10.0 blocks, default-LLM rotation history extended,
  mdemg_beta_testing.md version pin v0.9.0 -> v0.10.0

docs/user/cli-reference.md (per Stage 5 user request to align refs
with current codebase):
- New ## Model Distribution top-level section before ## Synergy
  Optimization (model command group is GroupID="config" in root.go
  but a top-level cli-ref section is cleaner for discoverability).
  Documents all 5 subcommands (pull, list, verify, remove, where) with
  flag tables, usage examples, the full Configurability Contract (11
  knobs), the architecture note (Ollama is distribution-only).
- Updated Environment Variable Reference with new "Model Distribution
  (Sprint MODEL-DIST-001, v0.10.0)" subsection — 11 env vars +
  defaults table.
- Updated Command Tree Summary with the new model subcommand group
  slotted between Configuration and Advanced.

docs/user/api-reference.md unchanged: Sprint MODEL-DIST-001 added zero
HTTP endpoints (CLI-only sprint; observability via TSDB V0021 row
writer is server-side internal). Audit also surfaced ~25 routes of
pre-existing drift between code and docs (mostly path-parameter
notation: `/v1/backup/` in code vs `/v1/backup/{id}` in docs — same
routes — plus 3 undocumented /api/graph/* endpoints and 2
undocumented /v1/admin/features/{restart,stop} actions). That drift
is out-of-scope for v0.10.0 and belongs in its own follow-up sprint.

* feat(cli): add mdemg model run wrapper (follow-up #1 to MODEL-DIST-001)

One-shot or interactive REPL chat against the configured LLM endpoint
(default: llama-server at port 8102 per Phase 13.5). Closes the gap
operators noted between `ollama run` and the mdemg framework.

Two modes:
- One-shot: `mdemg model run -p "hello"` or positional arg after `--`
- Interactive REPL: no prompt; reads stdin line-by-line, accumulates
  conversation history across turns

Pure stdlib HTTP (no llmclient retries/breakers/recording). CLI
invocations are intentionally NOT recorded to llm_interactions — this
is an ad-hoc exploration tool, not a production code path; keeping the
training-data corpus clean.

Every operator-visible value is dynamic per the no-hardcoding rule:
  --endpoint   override cfg.EffectiveLLMEndpoint
  --model      override cfg.LLMModel (final fallback: mdemg-llm-v1)
  --prompt/-p  one-shot prompt (omit for REPL)
  --system/-s  system message
  --temperature (default 0.7)
  --max-tokens (default 1024)
  --timeout    (default 60s)

Live-verified end-to-end on the operator's running llama-server on
port 8102 with mdemg-llm-v1: one-shot worked; system+prompt with
--model override worked.

13 unit tests in model_run_test.go covering: message composition
(system first, no-system skip, history preservation), config
resolution (flag > cfg > final fallback), OpenAI-compat HTTP shape,
error paths (HTTP error, inline error object, no choices, timeout),
trailing-slash endpoint normalization, body-bounding helper. All green.

Renamed local body-bounding helper to `truncateRunBody` to avoid name
collision with a same-named helper in internal/cli/data.go.

* docs(api): document 19 previously-undocumented endpoints (follow-up #2)

Audit of internal/api/server.go (167 routes) vs docs/user/api-reference.md
surfaced 19 genuinely missing endpoints. v0.10.0 commit noted this as
out-of-scope; this commit resolves the gap.

Audit method: extract mux.HandleFunc registrations from server.go, extract
documented "VERB /path" headings from api-reference.md, normalize both to
strip path parameters and trailing prefix slashes, diff. Of the initial
24-entry code-only set, 5 are false positives (combined headers like
"POST /v1/admin/features/start|stop|restart" cover the individual verbs;
"GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics" covers both methods on one route).

Added sections:

Jiminy / J17 (10 endpoints, all under "## Jiminy Inner-Voice"):
  GET|POST /v1/jiminy/protocol/metrics    # snapshot + reset
  GET /v1/jiminy/protocol/status          # per-session J17 state
  POST /v1/jiminy/checkpoint              # tier-transition checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/resume-protocol         # restore from checkpoint
  POST /v1/jiminy/extension               # operator-driven tier hold
  POST /v1/jiminy/strict                  # toggle strict mode per session
  POST /v1/jiminy/reformulate             # advisory -> imperative rewrite
  POST /v1/jiminy/classify                # pre-Write/Edit pass/deny gate
  GET /v1/jiminy/latest                   # most recent guidance (warm store)
  POST /v1/jiminy/warm                    # eager cache warmup

Memory / Graph (3 endpoints, under "## Memory Operations"):
  GET /v1/memory/graph/topology           # node/edge counts per layer
  GET /v1/memory/graph/neighborhood       # local 1-3 hop walk
  GET /v1/memory/spaces                   # root listing of all spaces

Observability (2 endpoints, under "## Metrics & Monitoring"):
  GET /v1/metrics/trends                  # TSDB time-series query
  GET /v1/prometheus                      # Prometheus scrape endpoint

Dashboard / Viz (4 endpoints, new "## Dashboard / Visualization (internal)"
section before MCP Server Tools — operator-internal endpoints backing the
browser dashboard at /ui/):
  GET /api/graph/data                     # force-directed graph data
  GET /api/graph/fields                   # schema field catalog
  GET /api/graph/health                   # explorer health
  GET /viz/topology                       # standalone HTML topology view

Each entry has handler-signature-derived request/response shape, query
parameter table, sample curl/JSON examples following the existing
api-reference convention. TOC updated with new "Dashboard / Visualization
(internal)" entry and renumbered tail.

Out of scope (deliberate, deferred):
- 28 "docs-only" entries from the audit are confirmed false positives
  from prefix-matching path normalization (code registers /v1/memory/nodes/
  with trailing slash and routes the suffix; docs spell out the full
  /v1/memory/nodes/{node_id}/archive form correctly)
- /v1/symbols root path is partially covered by /v1/symbols/relationships
  + /v1/symbols/{id}/relationships in docs; root listing endpoint
  documentation can land later if/when its handler grows specific shape
- /v1/conversation/observations covered indirectly by the flag-for-org
  endpoint documentation

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 0 — sprint plan + audit harness

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 0. Builds the per-panel audit harness:
walks every panel in deploy/docker/grafana/dashboards/*.json, extracts
rawSql/sql targets, substitutes Grafana macros (\$__timeFilter,
\$__timeFrom/To, \$__interval, \$__unixEpoch*) + template variables
(\$space_id, \$instance + multi-value variants like \${space_id:raw}),
executes via docker exec mdemg-timescaledb-1 psql, classifies each
panel target as PASS / EMPTY / FAIL / SKIP.

Tier 1 unit tests (17 tests, all green):
- Template-variable substitution: time_filter / from-to / unix epoch /
  interval / interval_ms / space_id (3 syntaxes) / instance (3
  syntaxes) / multi-macro composite query
- Table extraction (FROM/JOIN with alias, case-insensitive, no-table)
- Panel walking (flat, nested rows, targets-with-sql vs no-sql)

Smoke test against mdemg-overview.json IMMEDIATELY validated the
operator's "diminished observability" report — 5 of 13 panels FAIL,
1 EMPTY, 7 PASS on the front-page dashboard:
  FAIL  Request Rate
  FAIL  Error Rate
  FAIL  Circuit Breakers
  FAIL  Requests by Status
  FAIL  Rate Limit Rejections
  EMPTY Request Latency Distribution (t0; t1/t2 PASS)

The original 11-panel sample missed these because it sampled different
panels. Lesson: trust the rigorous audit, not the sample. Sprint
proceeds to Epic 1 (full audit across all 146 panels) immediately.

* feat(grafana-audit): Epic 1 + 2 — full audit + findings

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epics 1 + 2. Per-panel rigorous audit of all
165 target executions across 146 panels in 8 dashboards.

Headline:
  PASS  125 (76%) — executes, returns rows in 24h window
  EMPTY  19 (12%) — executes, 0 rows
  FAIL    3 (2%)  — SQL error
  SKIP   18 (11%) — non-SQL panel types

Harness fix mid-Epic-1: \$__interval substitution was wrapping the
value in quotes, but Grafana convention has panel SQL provide its own
outer quotes — producing doubled quotes and 18 false-positive FAILs.
Fixed: substitute bare value. Verified by re-run: 20→3 FAILs.

Real failures (Epic 2 findings):

(a) 3 SQL bugs on mdemg-llm-routing.json — all three panels hardcoded
    `mdemg-dev` (unquoted) in WHERE clauses instead of '\$space_id'
    template variable. PG parses `mdemg-dev` as subtraction.

(b) 5 schema-drift EMPTYs — panel filter expects metric_type or labels
    shape that doesn't match server emission:
    - mdemg_j17_events_total: panel 'counter', server 'gauge'
    - mdemg_rsic_action_total: panel status='success', server status='completed'
    - 2 more suspected pending full-SQL inspection.

(c) 2 missing-server-side metrics — mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total
    and mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50 not emitted. Will be
    documented; server emission is follow-up.

(d) ~11 sparse-data EMPTYs — panel SQL correct, no rows in 24h window.
    Widening time-range in Epic 4.

Projected post-Epic-3/4: 133 PASS, ≤11 EMPTY, 0 FAIL.

* fix(grafana): Epic 3 — 5 panels recovered (3 FAIL + 2 schema-drift)

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 Epic 3. Minimum-change JSON edits to fix
category (a) SQL bugs and category (b) schema-drift EMPTYs identified
in Epic 1/2.

mdemg-llm-routing.json (3 panels, all category-a SQL bugs):
  - LLM call distribution by model_name (24h)
  - LLM latency p50 / p95 / p99 by task × model
  - LLM error rate % by task_name (selected range)
  Bug: WHERE clause was `(\$space_id = '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` —
  the first \$space_id was unquoted, so PG parsed `mdemg-dev = ''` as
  `column "mdemg-dev"` which doesn't exist. Also breached the
  no-hardcoding rule (memory: feedback_no_hardcoded_values.md).
  Fix: wrap the first variable reference in quotes → `('\$space_id' =
  '' OR space_id = '\$space_id')` — a proper string-literal comparison
  that also serves as the All-spaces guard the panel author intended.
  Verdict: 3 FAIL -> 3 PASS. mdemg-llm-routing is now 4/4 PASS.

mdemg-j17.json :: Total Events (1 panel, category-b drift):
  Panel filtered `metric_type = 'counter'` (Prometheus naming
  convention because metric is `mdemg_j17_events_total`). Server
  actually emits `metric_type = 'gauge'`. 6,393 rows in 7d; 0 panel
  matches. Fix: align panel filter to `'gauge'`.
  Verdict: EMPTY -> PASS.

mdemg-rsic.json :: Action Success Rate t0 (1 panel target, category-b
drift):
  Panel filtered `labels->>'status' = 'success'`. Server actually
  emits `'completed'` (181 rows in 24h; 0 panel matches). Fix: align
  panel filter to `'completed'`. The t1 'failed' target retained
  unchanged — its EMPTY result is now accurate observation (server
  emits no `'failed'` actions; 0 = legitimate zero).
  Verdict: 1/2 EMPTY -> PASS, 1/2 EMPTY accurate-zero.

Audit verdict counts:
  Before: 125 PASS, 19 EMPTY, 3 FAIL, 18 SKIP
  After:  130 PASS, 17 EMPTY, 0 FAIL, 18 SKIP

Remaining 17 EMPTYs (Epic 4 disposition):
  - 5 category-c emission regression — 4 rsic metrics stopped at
    2026-05-07/08 (server-side investigation queued as follow-up)
  - 2 category-c never-emitted — Rate Limit Rejections, p50 latency
  - 8 category-d sparse-data on ft-training — widen time-range
  - 1 mdemg-jiminy :: Effectiveness Trends — CTE pending inspection
  - 1 mdemg-rsic :: Action Success Rate t1 (accurate-zero)

* docs(grafana-audit): Epic 4 + 7 — feature doc + sprint close

Sprint GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 closeout (Epics 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 combined as a
single doc-only commit; Epic 5 deferred and Epic 6 deferred-to-operator
as documented in post.md).

New: docs/features/observability-dashboards.md (286 lines) — full
operator-facing inventory of the 8 dashboards with:
- Per-dashboard purpose + panel count + primary tables
- Audit verdict table (130/17/0/18 post-Epic-3)
- Epic 3 fix log: 3 SQL bugs + 2 schema-drift filters
- Known gaps in 3 buckets: (c) emission regression (4 May-7-8 metrics,
  current codebase has zero refs — server removed emission), (c)
  never-emitted (mdemg_rate_limit_rejected_total +
  mdemg_http_request_duration_seconds_p50), (d) sparse/zero data on
  this dev TSDB (ft-training tables)
- Refresh expectations per table
- Operator playbook for re-running scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py
- Forward-looking: CI integration, coverage expansion, server-side
  emission restore

New: docs/development/grafana-audit-001/post.md — sprint close per
memory rule, covers process / smooth-parts / friction / sprint-plan
vs reality / current state / risks-opportunities / commits.

Epic deferrals (documented in post.md):
- Epic 5 (coverage expansion for 11 unused TSDB tables): deferred
  because most target tables are zero on this dev TSDB. Adding panels
  would create more EMPTYs, defeating the goal.
- Epic 6 (Tier 3 browser e2e): deferred to operator; not blocking.

CHANGELOG Unreleased entry covers the sprint at high level + cross-
references the feature doc.

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 0 — sprint plan + workspace prep

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 picks up the adapter-only path deferred from
MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 2. Resolves the tooling gap documented in
epic_2_forensic.md.

Workspace prep:
- Vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from llama.cpp source (master, pinned
  2026-05-21) into scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/ with MIT LICENSE attribution
  and a README documenting refresh policy. brew install llama.cpp ships
  convert_hf_to_gguf.py but NOT convert_lora_to_gguf.py; vendoring is the
  cleanest path (vs requiring operators to clone llama.cpp source).
- pip install peft==0.19.1 + accelerate==1.13.0 + psutil==7.2.2 into
  neural/.venv (the same venv that has torch + transformers + gguf from
  MODEL-DIST-001 Epic 1). PEFT is needed for PEFT-format schema validation
  + as a dependency of convert_lora_to_gguf.py.
- Inspected convert_lora_to_gguf.py — expects directory with
  adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors in PEFT layout. Confirms
  the MLX → PEFT direction is `lora_A: (rank, input)` and
  `lora_B: (output, rank)` (script line 41-42 docstring).

Sprint plan in 12-section v1.0 format. 7 epics, 1-2 dev-day estimate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(model-dist-002): Epic 1-3 — MLX adapter → PEFT → GGUF LoRA + live verify

Sprint MODEL-DIST-002 Epics 1, 2, 3 (combined commit).

Epic 1 — MLX → PEFT converter (scripts/mlx_adapter_to_peft.py + 14 unit tests):
  Reads adapters/tier1/adapters.safetensors (514 MB MLX format, 560 tensors,
  Phase 5 SFT Iter 2400 best). Per the analysis in MODEL-DIST-001
  epic_2_forensic.md:
    Key rename: model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_a
                -> base_model.model.model.layers.<N>.<module>.lora_A.weight
    Tensor transpose: lora_a (input,rank) -> (rank,input)
                     lora_b (rank,output) -> (output,rank)
  Emits PEFT-format adapter_config.json + adapter_model.safetensors.
  Single-adapter PEFT layout (.lora_A.weight, not .lora_A.default.weight)
  required by convert_lora_to_gguf.py.

Epic 2 — PEFT → GGUF LoRA (scripts/vendor/llama_cpp/convert_lora_to_gguf.py):
  Pinned to llama.cpp release b9000 (self-contained version; upstream master
  refactored to a conversion/ Python package with 30+ model files, excessive
  vendoring scope). README documents refresh policy.
  Output: .local-models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf
    SHA256: 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
    Size: 257 MB (vs ~9 GB fused Q5_K_M; ~35x smaller download)
    Tensor count: 560 (matches expected 40 layers x 7 target_modules x 2)

Epic 3 — Live verification (docs/development/model-dist-002/verification.md):
  Side-port llama-server on 127.0.0.1:18103 with f16 base + adapter; sanity
  prompt vs production 8102 fused model returns semantically-aligned outputs
  on the same prompt — both describe MDEMG as a knowledge-graph memory
  system. Confirms the MLX-PEFT-GGUF chain is structurally correct.

Iteration during Epic 2 (worth noting):
  - Initial vendored convert_lora_to_gguf.py from upstream master failed
    with ImportError (refactored to use conversion/ package). Pinned to
    b9000 release which is self-contained.
  - Initial PEFT keys used .default.weight suffix (multi-adapter layout);
    convert_lora_to_gguf.py rejected with \"Not a lora_A or lora_B tensor.\"
    Switched to single-adapter layout (.weight) which the script accepts.

Test results: 14/14 Tier 1 tests green; PEFT output loads via
peft.PeftConfig.from_pretrained; GGUF emission completes with all 560
tensors; runtime adapter application produces coherent outputs.

* feat(cli): enable mdemg model pull --adapter (MODEL-DIST-002 Epic 5+6)

Lifts the ErrAdapterDeferred guard from MODEL-DIST-001's deferred adapter
path now that reh3376/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter:latest is published.

CLI changes:
- model_fetcher_ollama.go: removed deferral guard from Fetch; switched
  readModelBlobDigest to target application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter
  mediaType for adapter pulls; added destFilename() helper so adapter
  symlinks land at <name>-adapter.gguf (no quant suffix).
- model.go: SHA verify in runModelPull now branches on req.Adapter to
  look up mf.Adapter when pulling the adapter form; tag printout shows
  <ns>/<name>-adapter:latest for adapter pulls instead of the resolved
  fused quant.
- model_fetcher.go: ErrAdapterDeferred sentinel retained for future
  non-Ollama backends that ship fused-only first; not currently returned.
  QuantManifest gained Adapter *QuantRecord field.

Manifest updates (both embedded + canonical):
- adapter SHA256 0cfaf4bae3215a4aea664a8d28ae9a41d73ee740cbcce5c2eef950232cfe1de5
- Ollama manifest digest sha256:57b98b97ede0e340e8c530aabf579136616ba670281fe04b14777164e655c278
- ollama_media_type application/vnd.ollama.image.adapter

Tests:
- Removed TestOllamaFetcher_AdapterDeferred.
- Added TestDestFilename_FusedQuantAndAdapter (6 cases).
- Added TestOllamaFetcher_ReadAdapterBlobDigest_FiltersOnAdapterMediaType.

Tier 3 live e2e: mdemg model pull --adapter completed in 987 ms, SHA
verify ok, symlink at ~/.mdemg/models/mdemg-llm-v1-adapter.gguf, and
llama-server --lora produced coherent inference against the symlinked
adapter ("MDEMG is a knowledge graph memory system...").

* docs(eventgraph-001): sprint plan (Pattern Y1 TSDB-federation)

Sprint EVENTGRAPH-001 — Reinforcement-Event TSDB Hypertable + Graph
Federation. First implementation of Pattern Y1 from the TypeDB-inspired
topology discussion: federate events into TSDB rather than reify them in
the Neo4j graph, preserve graph traversal via a Go orchestration layer.

12-section v1.0 format; 8 sequential epics; ~1.5-2 dev-days; $0 LLM;
low-medium risk (touches the Hebbian hot write path so the new writer
must be fully non-blocking + the Cypher RETURN-shape change must be
backwards-compatible at the Go call site).

Targets ApplyCoactivation only for v1. Other Hebbian entry points
(ApplySymbolCoactivation, CoactivateSession, ApplyNegativeFeedback)
deferred to EVENTGRAPH-003 once the pattern proves out under
production traffic. Pattern Y2 (link-node promotion in Neo4j)
explicitly deferred until a query proves federation-in-Go insufficient.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): V0022 reinforcement_events hypertable (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 1)

One row per Hebbian co-activation pair update. Captures prev/new weight
(plus signed delta), evidence_count_after, eta_effective, surprise_factor,
activation_product, path_sim, role/obs_type of both endpoints, session_id,
direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), and a created_new_edge flag
that distinguishes "new connection formed" from "existing connection
strengthened" at analysis time. trigger_path column will distinguish
ApplyCoactivation from EVENTGRAPH-003's other Hebbian entry points.

7-day chunks (same as V0017-V0021). 4 indexes: per-space time-series,
src+time, dst+time, partial index on (space_id, session_id, time) where
session_id is set. Federation API (Epic 5) needs src + dst lookups for
the graph-neighborhood join.

Buffered + flushed via CopyFrom on TSDB_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC cadence
(default 30s). Pattern matches V0019 (sparse_gate_metrics) buffered
writer, NOT V0021 (model_install_events) sync writer — Hebbian writes
are per-retrieve, far higher volume than CLI-driven model install
events.

Config: TSDB_REQUIRED_SCHEMA_VERSION default bumped 21 -> 22.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(tsdb): buffered reinforcement_events writer (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 2)

internal/tsdb/reinforcement_writer.go — buffered CopyFrom writer mirroring
the V0019 SparseGateMetricsWriter pattern. 30s auto-flush ticker, Close()
drains buffer + flushes final batch, idempotent across multiple Close
calls. FIFO eviction on buffer-full matches the LLMInteractionWriter
precedent; eviction counted in droppedRows for Epic 6 Prometheus
surfacing.

ReinforcementEventRow serializes optional float / string fields via
nullableFloat / nullableString helpers — zero-valued inputs land as DB
NULL rather than 0 / '', so analytic queries can distinguish "no data"
from "actually zero." Required fields (prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, created_new_edge, trigger_path) are never
nullable.

Tier 1 unit tests (9 green):
- Record + Flush writes all rows with correct table + column shape.
- Empty buffer Flush is a no-op (no CopyFrom call).
- Buffer-full evicts oldest, increments droppedRows counter.
- Unlimited buffer (maxBufferSize=0) never drops.
- Nullable serialization: zero-valued optionals → DB NULL.
- Flush error increments FailureCount; SuccessCount/TotalRows unchanged.
- Close drains buffer (final flush triggered).
- Close is idempotent (Close × 2 does not double-flush).
- Auto-flush ticker fires within deadline.

* refactor(learning): expose per-pair telemetry from Hebbian Cypher (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 3)

ApplyCoactivation Cypher RETURN clause extended from "count(*) AS updated"
to 17 per-pair columns: src/dst node IDs, prev/new/delta weight,
evidence_count_after, eta_effective (cfg.LearningEta × etaMult),
surprise_factor, activation_product, path_sim, role_a/b, obs_type_a/b,
session_id, direction (forward/reverse/bidirectional), created_new_edge.

created_new_edge derived from (r.evidence_count = 1) — the ON CREATE
branch sets evidence_count to 1; ON MATCH increments. Reliable proxy
for "new connection formed" vs "existing connection strengthened" at
analysis time.

Plan-deviation disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): the
plan called for 2 rows per pair in asymmetric mode (forward + reverse).
The Cypher mirrors rr.weight = r.weight at all times — forward and
reverse edges carry identical weights. Emitting 2 rows would double-
count without adding signal. Final choice: 1 row per logical pair
regardless of mode, with the direction column carrying the
forward/reverse/bidirectional distinction. Revisit if EVENTGRAPH-003
introduces a Hebbian path where forward/reverse weights diverge.

New helper internal/learning/reinforcement_parser.go translates a
neo4j.Record (or any (key) → (any, bool) getter) into a
tsdb.ReinforcementEventRow. Lives in its own file so service.go
doesn't grow. Defensive against missing keys (zero values), nil values
(zero/empty), wrong types (fallback to zero) — no panics.

Tier 1 unit tests (6 green) cover:
- Symmetric bidirectional + ON CREATE branch
- Asymmetric forward + ON MATCH branch (evidence > 1)
- Missing optional fields → zero values (nullable* writer helpers
  serialize as DB NULL)
- Neo4j int64 → Go int coercion
- nil values → zero/empty
- Wrong-typed values → graceful fallback

Reinforcement rows are captured locally in ApplyCoactivation but not
yet forwarded to TSDB — Epic 4 wires the writer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(learning): record reinforcement events to TSDB (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 4)

learning.Service grows a reinforcementWriter field + SetReinforcementWriter
setter (mirrors the SetStabilityReinforcer back-compat pattern). After
ExecuteWrite returns from ApplyCoactivation, each captured per-pair row
gets the spaceID stamped on it and is enqueued via writer.Record. The
writer is non-blocking; the Hebbian hot path never waits on TSDB.

Configurability Contract — 7 new env vars (no-hardcoding rule):
  - EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED (bool, default true)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SEC (int, default 30, floor 5)
  - EVENTGRAPH_WRITER_BUFFER_SIZE (int, default 1000, 0 = unlimited)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_PAIRS_PER_EVENT_BATCH (int, default 200)
  - EVENTGRAPH_MAX_EVENTS_PER_QUERY (int, default 500, Epic 5 ceiling)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS (int, default 2)
  - EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_LOOKBACK_HOURS (int, default 24)

api/server.go wires the writer's lifecycle:
- Constructed after TSDB client is ready, gated by cfg.EventGraphEnabled
  so EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false cleanly skips construction; learner's
  reinforcementWriter stays nil and the Hebbian path short-circuits.
- Closed alongside the other TSDB writers in graceful-shutdown — buffer
  drains before the process exits.

Tier 2 integration tests (against real TSDB, build tag integration):
- TestEventGraph_Writer_RoundTrip: 3 rows recorded → flush-window
  elapses → SELECT count(*) returns 3.
- TestEventGraph_Writer_DrainOnClose: 5 rows recorded with 1-hour flush
  interval → Close() drains → SELECT returns 5 (verifies the server
  shutdown invariant).

* feat(eventgraph): federation query helper + API endpoint (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 5)

internal/eventgraph/query.go — Pattern Y1 federation helper.
EventsInGraphNeighborhood orchestrates a two-step query:

  1. Cypher graph walk from a seed node — variable-length path over
     CO_ACTIVATED_WITH | GENERALIZES at depth 0..Hops. Returns the
     N-hop neighborhood (DISTINCT node_ids, includes the seed).
  2. TSDB query against reinforcement_events for events where src OR
     dst is in the neighborhood, within the lookback window, ordered
     newest-first, capped at the configured limit.
  3. Go-side join — annotates events with SrcInNeighborhood /
     DstInNeighborhood so the consumer can distinguish "both endpoints
     in the subgraph" from "one endpoint outside the seed's N-hop
     reach but the event still touches our subgraph."

Empty neighborhood (no seed match, hops=0) short-circuits before the
TSDB call. Sub-1-second Since values clamp to 1s. Hops < 0 is rejected
upfront. The handler enforces an additional ceiling of 2 ×
EVENTGRAPH_FEDERATION_DEFAULT_HOPS for runaway-walk protection.

internal/api/eventgraph_handler.go — POST /v1/eventgraph/reinforcement-
neighborhood. Same auth convention as /v1/admin/breakers. 503 when
EVENTGRAPH_ENABLED=false or when eventgraphService is nil (TSDB-down at
boot). 400 on missing space_id / seed_node_id / negative hops / hops >
ceiling. Defaults applied from config when fields omitted from request.

Plan-decision disclosure (per feedback_plan_options_pattern.md): plan
proposed Option A (single endpoint with event_type query param) vs
Option B (endpoint per event class). Final choice: A. v1 has one event
class (reinforcement); the endpoint URL is explicit about that.
EVENTGRAPH-002 can either add a query param or split the URL when a
second event class arrives — no breaking change either way.

Tests:
- Tier 1 (internal/eventgraph/query_test.go, 7 green): request
  validation rejects empty space_id, empty seed, negative hops; interval
  formatting roundtrips; join annotation handles both-inside,
  one-outside, and empty-neighborhood cases.
- Tier 1 (internal/api/eventgraph_handler_test.go, 4 green + 2 skipped):
  method-not-allowed, feature-disabled 503, nil-service 503, invalid-
  JSON short-circuit. Two validation paths skipped — they require a
  non-nil eventgraphService which can't be constructed without a real
  driver; Tier 2 exercises them.
- Tier 2 (tests/integration/eventgraph_federation_test.go, 1 green):
  builds seed--mid--leaf graph + off-node, emits 3 reinforcement
  events touching all four nodes, calls federation at hops=0 and
  hops=1, asserts neighborhood + in-neighborhood flags. The hops=0
  test confirms that mid↔leaf (touching neither seed nor any 0-hop
  neighbor) is correctly excluded.

* feat(observability): Grafana panel + Prometheus counters for reinforcement events (EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 6)

Three new Prometheus counters mirror the V0022 writer's internal atomic
counters:

- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_enqueued_total — rows successfully CopyFrom'd
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_rows_dropped_total — rows FIFO-evicted (buffer full)
- mdemg_eventgraph_writer_flush_failure_total — flush errors

Wiring: the writer accepts a narrow PrometheusCounter interface
(Add(int64)) so internal/tsdb does not import internal/metrics (which
would cycle). api/server.go calls SetPrometheusCounters after the
writer is constructed, passing the three counters from the global
StandardMetrics struct. Nil-safe.

Dashboard: mdemg-graph-topology.json gains a new collapsed row
"Reinforcement Events (EVENTGRAPH-001)" with a single time-series
panel "Reinforcement Event Rate (events/min)" showing all three rates
(enqueued / dropped / flush failures) over the last 24h. Dropped is
colored orange, flush failures red, enqueued the default palette. Tied
to the prometheus datasource.

The existing GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 harness (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py)
only evaluates SQL-target panels — the new panel uses Prometheus
queries, so it lands on the SKIP pile, same as the other 8 Cypher /
Prometheus panels on this dashboard. Audit JSON refreshed.

* fix(eventgraph-001): restore full GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 audit_results.json

Epic 6's targeted audit run (scripts/grafana_panel_audit.py --dashboard
mdemg-graph-topology.json) overwrote the full multi-dashboard audit
results from GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 with the single-dashboard subset (9
SKIPs only). Restoring the full snapshot from commit 0a1e8e1 — that
audit covered all 8 dashboards and is the canonical baseline the
GRAFANA-AUDIT-001 post.md references. EVENTGRAPH-001 did not need to
regenerate it; the new panel uses Prometheus queries, which the audit
harness SKIPs regardless of dashboard.

* fix(retrieval): set Activation on RRF RetrieveResult (EVENTGRAPH-001 fix-commit)

ScoreAndRankRRF's ConsensusResult → RetrieveResult conversion was
silently dropping the Activation field. The legacy ScoreAndRank path at
scoring.go:883 sets Activation: a (where a := act[c.NodeID] is the
spreading-activation map value). The RRF path constructed
models.RetrieveResult{...} with no Activation key, leaving the field
zero-valued.

Net effect: since Phase 13.1 default-on (2026-05-03),
learning.Service.ApplyCoactivation has filtered out every L0 candidate
on the retrieve hot path. The filter is r.Activation >=
LearningMinActivation (default 0.20). With Activation=0, no pair makes
it to the Hebbian Cypher; the function returns nil without writing.

Hebbian learning has been silently no-op on the production retrieve
goroutine for ~24 days. CO_ACTIVATED_WITH edges still exist in the
graph — sidecar paths (CoactivateSession, ApplySymbolCoactivation,
consolidation walks) and pre-Phase-13.1 retrieves wrote them — but the
retrieve-time goroutine has been a silent no-op.

Discovered during EVENTGRAPH-001 Epic 7 live e2e. Three retrieves
produced 0 rows in reinforcement_events. Investigation traced the gap
to the missing Activation field.

Fix: one-line addition in scoring_rrf.go — Activation: act[c.NodeID].
Brings the RRF path to parity with the legacy scorer.

Post-fix verification: rebuilt, restarted server, re-issued 3 retrieves
→ 10 reinforcement events landed in TSDB. Federation API at hops=1
correctly returned all 10 with src_in_neighborhood=true,
dst_in_neighborhood=true. Documented in
docs/development/eventgraph-001/verification.md.

Per CLAUDE.md "Testing — Live System Testing Is Required":
"surprise bugs caught during live smoke get their own follow-up
fix-commit — do not silently roll them into the sprint commit." This
is the precedent-aligned separate commit.

Forward-only: existing graph state is preserved; new retrieves now
correctly emit Hebbian updates. EVENTGRAPH-002 may revisit whether to
backfill the missing 24-day window.

* docs(eventgraph-001): Tier 3 live e2e verification transcript (Epic 7)

Real /v1/memory/retrieve × 3 against mdemg-dev → 10 reinforcement events
landed in TSDB within the flush window. Federation API at hops=1 from a
seed node returned 5-node neighborhood + 10 in-neighborhood events.
Documents the surprise-bug discovery + fix that preceded this transcript
(see fix-commit for scoring_rrf.go::ScoreAndRankRRF Activation
propagation).

Acceptance criteria from sprint plan §"Acceptance Criteria" all PASS.

* docs(eventgraph-001): feature doc + CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md + sprint close (Epic 8)

Final epic — Documentation Update (never cut, per feedback_per_feature_docs_required.md
and the standardized v1.0 sprint plan format).

New: docs/features/event-graph-federation.md (~240 lines, Why / Choices /
How it works / How to use / Forward-looking). Documents:
- Pattern Y1 vs Y2 trade-off (why federation-in-Go now, link-node
  reification deferred until a query forces it)
- Why V0019 buffered-CopyFrom over V0021 sync-INSERT (per-retrieve volume)
- Why ApplyCoactivation first (other 3 Hebbian entry points deferred to
  EVENTGRAPH-003)
- Why forward-only (no source to backfill from)
- Federation pipeline (Cypher walk → TSDB query → Go-side join with
  src/dst_in_neighborhood annotation)
- TSDB schema, API request/response shape, 7 env vars + defaults
- Observability (3 Prometheus counters + Grafana panel)
- Forward-looking sprints

New: docs/development/eventgraph-001/post.md — epic-by-epic outcomes,
acceptance criteria check-off, surprise log (RRF Activation drop +
audit-JSON overwrite + orphan-process port collision), plan deviations
disclosed (1-row-per-pair regardless of asymmetric mode; single-
endpoint over endpoint-per-class), forward-looking.

CHANGELOG.md Unreleased gains the EVENTGRAPH-001 entry — 11 bullet
points covering V0022 migration, buffered writer, Cypher RETURN-shape
change, Configurability Contract, federation helper + API, Prometheus
+ Grafana, Tier 2 + Tier 3 verification, the surprise-bug RRF
Activation fix-commit, and the audit-JSON restore.

CLAUDE.md Architecture Notes gains a new "Event Graph Federation" entry
above the Model Distribution section. Documents the pattern, surface,
deferrals, and the load-bearing fix-commit f307f55 that surfaced 24
days of silent Hebbian no-op on the retrieve hot path.

* fix(eventgraph-001): Grafana panel uses TSDB instead of unconfigured Prometheus datasource

The Epic 6 panel used datasource {type: prometheus, uid: prometheus} but
this Grafana instance has no Prometheus datasource configured — mdemg
exposes counters as JSON via /v1/metrics/snapshot, not a /metrics scrape
endpoint. Configured datasources: mdemg-nodegraph, neo4j, timescaledb
only. The panel rendered "No data" in the live Grafana.

Rewritten panel queries the reinforcement_events hypertable directly via
th…
