+## Distributed Prefill KV Cache Network
+
+Kakeya can use trusted peer Mac minis as an **immutable prefill-cache tier**.
+Every node advertises model/cache compatibility through the existing P2P
+`CapabilityService`; a cold inference node queries local and remote caches in
+parallel, imports the longest valid token-prefix snapshot once, computes only
+the missing suffix, and keeps autoregressive decode entirely local.
+
+This is not remote attention and not coherent shared RAM:
+
+```text
+tokenize + chained prefix hashes
+        │
+        ├── local lookup ──────────────┐
+        └── P2P lookup over gossip ────┤ choose longest compatible prefix
+                                       ▼
+                         stream one immutable KV snapshot
+                                       ▼
+                         local suffix prefill → local decode
+```
+
+Key properties:
+
+- exact model/tokenizer/quantization/RoPE/cache-format compatibility;
+- longest **contiguous** prefix reuse — arbitrary holes are never reused;
+- memory-bounded LRU storage with leases and cache epochs;
+- point-to-point chunked gRPC publish/fetch with SHA-256 validation;
+- failure-safe fallback to local prefill;
+- Thunderbolt/LAN/Tailscale endpoint priority;
+- node registration, inference groups, token accounting and topology UI.
