What

One default flip plus observability: BUILTIN_UBATCH 128 -> 512.

The 128 default (PR #564, May 24, no recorded rationale) diverged from llama.cpp's own LLAMA_SERVER_DEFAULT_N_UBATCH = 512 and missed the CUDA SSM SSD kernel gate (n_tok > SSM_SSD_MIN_TOKENS, 128, strict — ssm-scan.cu:829) by exactly one token, forcing every default recurrent (mamba) prefill onto the sequential-scan fallback.

Changes:

  1. BUILTIN_UBATCH 128 -> 512 (resolver/types.rs) + the gpu-tune planner's own copy (recommended_ubatch now clamps to 512), with corrected setting descriptions ("physical prefill chunk size", not "decode micro-batch").
  2. Forward the resolved n_ubatch / flash_attn llama_context lines into mesh.log (allowlist gap, same class as the FA-line bug feat: Add discover meshes feature to console UI #2), so config landing is observable without compute-buffer fingerprinting.

Out of scope (separate native PR): the SSD gate itself (n_t >= 128) and per-prefill scan-vs-SSD path logging — that lives in the vendored llama.cpp patch queue.

Proof it wins — Granite-4.0-h-1b (recurrent)

Same binary (ce683ca), same protocol, same safetensors, 2 passes; config landing verified per-leg by compute-buffer fingerprint in the retained mesh.log.

Metric Mesh 128 (default) Mesh 512 Delta vLLM 512 closes gap to vLLM
C1 TTFT p50 (s) 0.670 0.415 -38% 0.248 62%

C8 decode tok/s 22.2 39.4 +77% 32.5 now ABOVE vLLM
C8 burst clear (8 cold reqs, s) 9.40 6.63 -29% - -

Proof it is recurrent-specific — Qwen3-1.7B (dense, negative control)

Metric Mesh 128 Mesh 512 Delta
C1 TTFT p50 (s) 0.907 0.973 noise
C1 decode tok/s 148.3 148.4 flat

Proof of mechanism — why it fires

Evidence 128 default 512
SSD kernel gate n_t > 128 (ssm-scan.cu:829, strict) misses by 1 token -> sequential scan SSD path runs
CUDA compute buffer (n_ubatch fingerprint, granite) 579.83 MiB 783.09 MiB
llama.cpp native default (LLAMA_SERVER_DEFAULT_N_UBATCH) - 512 (ours was the divergence)

Cost: +203 MiB CUDA compute buffer. No regression found on any leg.

Verification

  • cargo test -p mesh-llm-config -p mesh-llm-commands -p mesh-llm-host-runtime -p skippy-runtime: 2979 passed, 0 failed (11 ignored).
  • cargo fmt --check clean; xtask repo-consistency (no-console-print, ci-crate-lists, release-targets) all green.

Follow-ups queued (not in this PR)

  • Native PR: SSD gate inclusive (n_t >= 128) + per-prefill scan-vs-SSD path logging (vendored llama.cpp patch queue).
  • Re-measure recurrent prefill serialization (max_prefill_sequences_per_iteration = 1, iteration_scheduler.rs:1373) under ubatch=512 — the dominant C8 TTFT residual (3.97 vs 1.47 s).
  • Dense-side gap (2.8x prefill, chunked-prefill priority, CUDA graphs on decode) is llama.cpp kernel/fusion work, explicitly not a config lever.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change raises the default ubatch value to 512, preserves throughput-profile settings, exposes related runtime logs and configuration metadata, updates tests and descriptions, and enables PR-isolated caching for the SDK CI slice.

Changes

Ubatch tuning and runtime observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update ubatch recommendations and profile authority
crates/mesh-llm-commands/src/gpus/tune/...
The planner uses 512 as the ubatch bound. Recommendation writes preserve effective throughput-profile values. Tests validate the updated recommendations and generated configuration.
Align resolver defaults and runtime reporting
crates/mesh-llm-host-runtime/src/inference/skippy/resolver/..., crates/skippy-runtime/src/logging.rs
The resolver default changes to 512. Throughput-profile resolution expects a batch-sized ubatch. Selected llama.cpp context lines are forwarded as runtime events.
Expose ubatch and prompt-cache configuration
crates/mesh-llm-config/src/model/built_in_schema/presentation.rs, crates/mesh-llm-ui/src/features/app-tabs/configuration-defaults-runtime.ts
Disk KV-cache settings receive prompt-cache presentation metadata. The ubatch descriptions document physical prefill chunks and kernel thresholds.

SDK CI cache isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Change SDK cache isolation
ci/slices.yml
The SDK slice changes from no cache to PR-isolated caching.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 33544

The ubatch and observability updates introduce no newly established blocker, but existing unresolved cache, control-plane, and certification defects remain at the current head. In particular, malformed durable cache state can crash generation requests, so this should not merge without explicit acceptance of those outstanding risks.

Add a boundary test for the 512 clamp.

This assertion verifies the default plan returns 512, but it does not verify that recommended_ubatch clamps a batch above 512. Add a tuning input with batch > 512 and assert that the recommended ubatch remains 512.

3209-3216: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The lifecycle_under_traffic phase can pass without overlapping traffic.

time.sleep(0.05) is the only synchronization between submitting the request and issuing prune and clear. On a loaded runner the worker thread may not have reached prefill in 50 ms, so prune and clear can complete before any traffic exists. The gate at Lines 2851-2864 then asserts only request success, the presence of prune and clear, and final_manifests == 0, all of which hold for a fully serialized run. The certification claim "lifecycle operations are safe under traffic" is not proved.

Wait on an observable server-side signal instead of a fixed sleep, for example poll management_json("GET", "/api/runtime/kv-cache") until activity or usage shows the in-flight request, and record that observation in the phase so the gate can assert real overlap.

ROOT_MANAGERS is held across store open and startup reconciliation.

acquire holds the single global ROOT_MANAGERS mutex while it runs open_store_for_acquire (up to 100 ms of retry sleeps) and store.reconcile_startup(), which walks manifests, segments, prefix links, and orphans. The lock covers every root, so one large durable cache stalls unrelated acquire calls on other roots during model load.

Consider recording an in-progress marker for the root, releasing the map lock, then re-acquiring it to insert the finished Weak.

status() parses every manifest on the disk tier.

restorable_summary calls list_manifests and then load_manifest for each key. status() calls it on every invocation, and the owner-control and HTTP status routes call status() on demand. Each manifest holds one HandoffSegmentRef per segment; crates/skippy-cache/src/l3/tests.rs builds manifests with 9,504 refs each, so a warm cache makes each status call parse many MiB of JSON. The doc comment on line 164-165 promises a cheap read.

Consider caching the counts and updating them on spill, evict, and reconcile, or maintaining the totals in the index instead of recomputing them per call.

- Around line 277-293: Update the SKIPPY_L3_BUDGET_BYTES parsing flow to
distinguish an unset variable from a present but unparsable value, and emit a
Warning event for malformed values before falling back to
DEFAULT_L3_BUDGET_BYTES. Preserve the existing zero-value warning and valid-byte

- Around line 409-419: Update PayloadGeometry::plan to enforce documented
maximums for both geometry block count and planned cut count, returning None
before materializing an oversized plan so L3Tier::spill_inner falls back to
fixed-size cutting. Add a production-descriptor test that records and verifies

transposed-V geometry rather than relying on the 9,504 fixture.

In `@crates/skippy-server/src/kv_integration/exact_state.rs`:
- Line 558: Update the load flow around locate_longest and the token_ids slice

statistics.median on empty successful-request sequences for baseline and
phases["restart_l3"]["requests"], returning None for an all-failed phase while
preserving the existing ratio behavior safely. Update write_l3_lifecycle_report

certifications continue through the gate-report path.
- Around line 3272-3275: Make cleanup in the outer finally block total: ensure
shutil.rmtree runs even when stop_server raises, while preserving any original

run_l3_lifecycle’s intermediate artifact behavior.

Nitpick comments:
In `@crates/mesh-llm-host-runtime/src/runtime/kv_disk_config.rs`:
- Around line 136-149: Update apply_live_kv_disk_limits so auto_budget_bytes
performs its recursive cache-root scan before acquiring NODE_KV_DISK_CACHE’s
write lock. Compute and retain the auto budget beforehand, then acquire the lock

preserving existing Fixed, Auto, and Off behavior.

In `@crates/skippy-cache/src/manager.rs`:
- Around line 153-178: The acquire flow should not hold the global ROOT_MANAGERS
mutex while open_store_for_acquire or reconcile_startup performs potentially
slow work. Add an in-progress marker for the requested root, release the mutex
before opening and reconciling the store, then re-acquire it to publish the
completed Weak while preserving existing same-root deduplication, limit
validation, cleanup, and error handling.

In `@crates/skippy-cache/src/tier.rs`:
- Around line 540-554: Make status reads cheap by removing the per-call manifest
scan from Tier::restorable_summary. Cache or maintain the matching manifest
count and token total through spill, eviction, and reconcile paths (or use
equivalent index totals), then have restorable_summary read those maintained
values while preserving segment_footprint_bytes reporting.
- Around line 280-302: Run the required skippy-cache validation before merge:
cargo test -p skippy-cache --lib, evals/skippy-cache-family-bench.sh with an
artifact directory, and the matching Thoughtworks cells in
evals/skippy-competitive-benchmark.py for c64, c128, and c256. Compare against
an artifact with identical model bytes, runtime configuration, hardware, and
workload manifest; record the commit SHA, commands, artifact path, cached/new

only after an exact release build, and do not promote the change if relevant
benchmarks regress without explicit reviewed rationale.

In `@crates/skippy-server/src/kv_integration/config.rs`:
- Around line 112-121: Update the payload-promotion branch in the configuration
function to emit an Info event whenever ResidentKv is changed to KvRecurrent,
including when resident-kv was explicitly requested. Use the function’s existing
event-emission mechanism and identify the effective payload in the event so it

In `@evals/agentic-replay.py`:
- Around line 3209-3216: Update the lifecycle_under_traffic phase around
primary_request and traffic_request to wait for an observable server-side cache

Return a failure exit status for failed node operations.

print_response prints each per-node error and then returns Ok(()). The JSON branch also returns before it checks the results.

Therefore, status, prune, and clear exit successfully when one or all requested nodes time out or reject the operation. This breaks automation and can report an incomplete destructive operation as successful.

Print all results first. Then return an error if any result contains a non-null error.

Quarantined bytes count against the budget but no code path ever removes them.

rescan_usage_bytes adds QUARANTINE_DIR to the managed total, so quarantined objects consume budget. No function in this file removes anything from quarantine/: enforce_budget_to_model, clear_model_inner, and collect_unreferenced_segments only touch manifests, prefix links, and segments.

Two reachable paths fill quarantine without bound:

  • reconcile_startup (Line 569) quarantines every manifest that fails validate_committed_manifest. After a MANIFEST_VERSION bump, decode_manifest rejects every pre-existing manifest, so the whole previous cache moves into quarantine and stays there. The doc comment at Line 52 states a version bump makes older entries "misses, never migrations", but they are retained as permanent budget consumers rather than dropped.
  • read_segment and manifest_for_prefix quarantine on each verification failure.

Once quarantine approaches budget_bytes, reserve_write cannot free enough and every write returns InsufficientSpace. The manager then reports the tier as Degraded permanently.

Choose one contract and apply it consistently: either age out or cap quarantine/ during reconcile_startup, or exclude it from managed_usage_bytes and bound it separately.

and_then(|value| value.parse::<u64>().ok()) collapses a malformed value into None, so the code applies the 32 GiB default without any event.

Bound transposed-V geometry before materializing the cut plan.

The runtime exporter emits n_embd_v_gqa transposed-V runs per layer. PayloadGeometry::plan then creates block_count * ceil(token_count / window_rows) labeled cuts, with window_rows capped at 64. L3Tier::spill_inner materializes all cuts before writing them. No producer or consumer caps this count, and 9,504 is only a measurement fixture.

Add a production-descriptor test that records the block and cut counts. Enforce a documented limit on both counts and return None before creating an oversized geometry plan, so the tier falls back to fixed-size cutting.

Guard the median calls against an all-failed phase.

statistics.median raises StatisticsError on an empty sequence. If every request in disk_off_cold or restart_l3 carries an error, the generator yields nothing and evaluate_l3_lifecycle_gates raises before run["gates"] is assigned. run_l3_lifecycle then never calls write_l3_lifecycle_report, so a failed certification produces a traceback instead of the gate report that names the failing requests.

A raise from stop_server in the cleanup path masks the original failure and leaks the scratch directory.

stop_server now raises when a port stays occupied or the PID survives (Lines 1358-1361).

The lifecycle_under_traffic phase can pass without overlapping traffic.

time.sleep(0.05) is the only synchronization between submitting the request and issuing prune and clear. On a loaded runner the worker thread may not have reached prefill in 50 ms, so prune and clear can complete before any traffic exists. The gate at Lines 2851-2864 then asserts only request success, the presence of prune and clear, and final_manifests == 0, all of which hold for a fully serialized run. The certification claim "lifecycle operations are safe under traffic" is not proved.

Wait on an observable server-side signal instead of a fixed sleep, for example poll management_json("GET", "/api/runtime/kv-cache") until activity or usage shows the in-flight request, and record that observation in the phase so the gate can assert real overlap.

status() parses every manifest on the disk tier.

restorable_summary calls list_manifests and then load_manifest for each key. status() calls it on every invocation, and the owner-control and HTTP status routes call status() on demand. Each manifest holds one HandoffSegmentRef per segment; crates/skippy-cache/src/l3/tests.rs builds manifests with 9,504 refs each, so a warm cache makes each status call parse many MiB of JSON.

distinguish an unset variable from a present but unparsable value, and emit a
Warning event for malformed values before falling back to
DEFAULT_L3_BUDGET_BYTES. Preserve the existing zero-value warning and valid-byte
handling in the budget_bytes match.
- Around line 409-419: Update PayloadGeometry::plan to enforce documented
maximums for both geometry block count and planned cut count, returning None
before materializing an oversized plan so L3Tier::spill_inner falls back to
fixed-size cutting. Add a production-descriptor test that records and verifies
the block and cut counts, covering the runtime exporter’s n_embd_v_gqa
transposed-V geometry rather than relying on the 9,504 fixture.

In `@crates/skippy-server/src/kv_integration/exact_state.rs`:
- Line 558: Update the load flow around locate_longest and the token_ids slice
to clamp the reread manifest’s token_count to the available query/identity token
length before importing or slicing, preventing a concurrent spill from causing
an out-of-bounds panic while preserving the stored count when it is valid.

In `@evals/agentic-replay.py`:
- Around line 2773-2781: Update evaluate_l3_lifecycle_gates to avoid calling
statistics.median on empty successful-request sequences for baseline and
phases["restart_l3"]["requests"], returning None for an all-failed phase while
preserving the existing ratio behavior safely. Update write_l3_lifecycle_report
to format missing median or ratio values without raising, so failed
certifications continue through the gate-report path.
- Around line 2904-2907: Update the l3-report artifact rendering around the
run["gates"] fields so partial run artifacts without a gates key are handled
gracefully. Report the completed run status and available metrics without
raising KeyError, while preserving the existing output for artifacts that
contain gates; anchor the change to the l3-report formatting block and
run_l3_lifecycle’s intermediate artifact behavior.
- Around line 3272-3275: Make cleanup in the outer finally block total: ensure
shutil.rmtree runs even when stop_server raises, while preserving any original
exception. Update the nested stop helper to clear process before invoking
stop_server so the outer cleanup does not retry the same process after a
shutdown failure; use the existing stop_server, process, and scratch_root
symbols.

In `@scripts/ci-two-node-split-smoke.sh`:
- Around line 314-318: Update kill_tree to resolve the native Windows PID from
/proc/$pid/winpid before invoking taskkill.exe, then poll process liveness after
termination and return nonzero if the process remains alive. Preserve the
existing successful cleanup behavior only after confirmed termination so
run_durable_restart_probe does not restart across a live process boundary.

Nitpick comments:
In `@crates/mesh-llm-host-runtime/src/runtime/kv_disk_config.rs`:
- Around line 136-149: Update apply_live_kv_disk_limits so auto_budget_bytes
performs its recursive cache-root scan before acquiring NODE_KV_DISK_CACHE’s
write lock. Compute and retain the auto budget beforehand, then acquire the lock
only for resolving, publishing, and applying limits through the cache manager,
preserving existing Fixed, Auto, and Off behavior.

In `@crates/skippy-cache/src/manager.rs`:
- Around line 153-178: The acquire flow should not hold the global ROOT_MANAGERS
mutex while open_store_for_acquire or reconcile_startup performs potentially
slow work. Add an in-progress marker for the requested root, release the mutex
before opening and reconciling the store, then re-acquire it to publish the
completed Weak while preserving existing same-root deduplication, limit
validation, cleanup, and error handling.

In `@crates/skippy-cache/src/tier.rs`:
- Around line 540-554: Make status reads cheap by removing the per-call manifest
scan from Tier::restorable_summary. Cache or maintain the matching manifest
count and token total through spill, eviction, and reconcile paths (or use
equivalent index totals), then have restorable_summary read those maintained
values while preserving segment_footprint_bytes reporting.
- Around line 280-302: Run the required skippy-cache validation before merge:
cargo test -p skippy-cache --lib, evals/skippy-cache-family-bench.sh with an
artifact directory, and the matching Thoughtworks cells in
evals/skippy-competitive-benchmark.py for c64, c128, and c256. Compare against
an artifact with identical model bytes, runtime configuration, hardware, and
workload manifest; record the commit SHA, commands, artifact path, cached/new
prompt tokens, evictions, throughput, and TTFT. Use SKIPPY_CACHE_SKIP_BUILD=1
only after an exact release build, and do not promote the change if relevant
benchmarks regress without explicit reviewed rationale.

In
`@crates/skippy-server/src/frontend/local_generation/token_generation/kv_restore.rs`:
- Line 44: Update the source check in ExactStateRestore telemetry to use the
shared source constant or enum variant for the L3 source instead of the literal
"l3"; preserve the existing fill_ms and rewarm_enqueued behavior.

In `@crates/skippy-server/src/kv_integration/config.rs`:
- Around line 112-121: Update the payload-promotion branch in the configuration
function to emit an Info event whenever ResidentKv is changed to KvRecurrent,
including when resident-kv was explicitly requested. Use the function’s existing
event-emission mechanism and identify the effective payload in the event so it
appears in mesh.log, while preserving the current promotion behavior.

In `@evals/agentic-replay.py`:
- Around line 3209-3216: Update the lifecycle_under_traffic phase around
primary_request and traffic_request to wait for an observable server-side cache
activity or usage signal via the existing management_json endpoint before
issuing prune and clear, rather than relying on time.sleep. Record the observed
overlap in the phase result and update the phase gate to require that
observation in addition to request success and lifecycle responses.

Approving.

The 128 → 512 default is well-argued: it matches llama.cpp's own LLAMA_SERVER_DEFAULT_N_UBATCH, and the n_tok > SSM_SSD_MIN_TOKENS gate being strict at 128 makes the old default miss the SSD kernel by exactly one token. The falsification reference and the measured TTFT/decode numbers are in the constant's doc comment, which is the right place for them. The effective_tuning_profile guard is the correct fix for the shadowing problem — a profile-set ubatch stays authoritative and gpu tune reports it as Preserved rather than overwriting it. Forwarding the llama_context: n_ubatch / flash_attn dump lines gives a live deployment a way to prove which value the runtime actually constructed with. All 91 checks pass, merges clean onto its base.

Two nice-to-haves, neither blocking:

  1. ci/slices.yml flips the sdk slice from cache_mode: "none" to "pr-isolated". That has nothing to do with the ubatch gate and is invisible from the title — worth either a line in the description or a separate PR, so a future bisect over SDK cache behaviour does not land on a ubatch commit.

  2. ubatch is the physical prefill chunk, so the compute buffer scales with it — 512 is roughly 4× the 128 allocation. build_tune_plan applies BUILTIN_UBATCH flat and does not scale it against the fit target the way it scales context. On a small-VRAM card with a large model that is a real allocation increase at exactly the moment the fit is tightest. If the 22 GiB-class targets in the recommendation tests are the intended floor, saying so somewhere would help; if smaller cards are in scope, a fit-aware clamp is probably worth a follow-up.

…gate

The 128 default (PR #564, no recorded rationale) diverged from llama.cpp's
own LLAMA_SERVER_DEFAULT_N_UBATCH = 512 and missed the CUDA SSM SSD kernel
gate (n_tok > SSM_SSD_MIN_TOKENS, 128, strict) by exactly one token on every
default recurrent prefill, forcing the sequential-scan fallback.

Measured on granite-4.0-h-1b (2026-09-08 competitive bench, same binary and
protocol): TTFT p50 0.670 -> 0.415 s (C1) and 6.38 -> 3.97 s (C8), C8 decode
22.2 -> 39.4 tok/s. Dense negative control (Qwen3-1.7B) flat. Cost: +203 MiB
CUDA compute buffer.

Also aligns the gpu-tune planner copy, corrects the setting description
(physical prefill chunk size, not decode micro-batch), and forwards the
resolved n_ubatch / flash_attn llama_context lines into mesh.log so config
landing is observable without buffer-size fingerprinting.

#1719)

## What this does

Replaces estimate-only memory planning with measured-reality-driven
planning — converging on the vLLM/SGLang budget-driven shape while
keeping one thing they don't have: the actual buffer sizes llama.cpp
allocated at init.

Stack position: #1707 (ubatch-512) → **this PR** → PR-2 (scheduler).
Base branch: `paul/builtin-ubatch-512`.

## Commits (each independently reviewable)

1. `b0042574e` — structured memory-plan events + measured buffer sizes
on native log lines (observability)
2. `d98b428b6` — native log aggregator keeps per-kind measured-buffer
high-water marks (CPU-offload lines excluded by construction), exported
as `measured_native_buffers()`
3. `e98dcff0b` — reconciliation at model-ready: charged proxy vs
measured sizes + residual free memory, machine-readable on every start
(both solo start paths)
4. `c3c03eb7b` — budget-driven context planning over a measured
footprint (utilization target default 0.88, vs vLLM 0.92 / SGLang 0.9 —
slightly more conservative for mesh co-hosting + unified-memory
page-out); the 85% tax ladder remains the fallback for fresh processes
and unusable measurements
5. `f52954019` — lane-scaled compute charge (measured ≈192 MiB/lane on
the 5080) + model-keyed footprint (stale/foreign high-water marks
degrade to the ladder; measured state cleared on every model-load reset)
6. `b4dc59f46` — **bug fix**: `election::total_model_bytes` returned the
checkpoint *directory* inode size (4096) for SafeTensors checkpoint dirs
— every safetensors bench leg planned with `model_bytes=4096` (phantom
KV budget, blind fit guard). Now sums flat regular files.

## Evidence (white.local, RTX 5080 16 GiB, agentic-replay harness, 2
ABBA passes, 16 measured requests/leg, identical manifests, vLLM 0.27.1
control)

| Leg | Mesh decode tok/s (this PR) | vLLM decode tok/s | Mesh TTFT p50
| vLLM TTFT p50 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| granite C1 | 163.75 | 237.51 | 0.415s | 0.247s |
| granite C8 | **38.85** | 34.23 | 3.155s | 1.485s |
| qwen3 C1 | 148.35 | 177.90 | 0.975s | 0.317s |
| qwen3 C8 | 30.21 | 39.65 | 3.732s | 1.840s |

0 failures on granite (16/16 × 2 both arms). One failed request across
all legs: qwen C8 pass-1 — admission fail-loud, `resident KV capacity
admission rejected request: 206 token deficit (capacity=32768)`; the
request (32,974 tok) exceeds honest capacity, where the pre-fix phantom
headroom would have accepted it. Recorded as the fix working, not a
regression.

Planner event chain captured in-run (`RUST_LOG=info`; note serve hides
info events without it):

- granite: `model_bytes=2930319597` (the fix — was 4096), ctx 32768,
slots 4 auto → reconciliation: **charged 3.99 GB compute proxy vs 0.69
GB measured, residual 17.9 GB free**
- qwen: `model_bytes=4079423234` → reconciliation: charged 3.99 GB vs
0.69 GB measured, residual 17.96 GB free

## Honest scope

On the single-node path the 85% tax was not the binding constraint for
context depth on roomy nodes — the ladder already reaches the native
window. What the measured path buys is correctness in both directions
(measured per-token KV ≈ 2× the estimate on bench legs → the correct
plan is shallower, not deeper). The remaining under-allocation (~11 GiB
idle on Granite) lives in the flat 4-lane cap and the split planner's
compounding taxes. Lanes-from-budget was evaluated and deliberately
**not** taken: lanes 8 is strictly worse on this model/box (19.98 vs
39.4 tok/s C8 decode) and lanes are not memory-free (compute ≈192
MiB/lane — now charged). Idle-VRAM spend moves to the re-plan seam and
PR-2.

## Tests

- skippy-runtime 124/124 · mesh-llm-host-runtime 2983/2983 ·
mesh-llm-routing 23/23
- `cargo fmt --check` clean; `xtask repo-consistency` green
(no-console-print, ci-crate-lists, publish-crates)

Artifacts:
`white:~/tmp/white-bakeoff-20260908/out/memplan-evidence-{granite,qwen}-c{1,8}/`
(per-pass server logs, requests, charts, binary/runtime SHA-256).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Context planning now uses measured memory usage to select more
suitable context lengths and reconcile planned resources with actual
allocations.
* Memory planning diagnostics now provide clearer breakdowns of model,
compute, and key-value cache usage.
* Runtime memory measurements now aggregate high-water marks across
supported devices while excluding host-pinned and CPU buffers.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Directory-based model sizes are now calculated from their immediate
regular files, improving resource estimates for packaged models and
symlinked snapshots.
