Why

The README hypothesis is sound and falsifiable, but a pre-mortem (2026-05-29, follow-up to the 2026-05-28 Full Grill) found two blockers that, left alone, mean we reach November never having tested it:

  1. No data. Routing defaults to the thinking model with nil pass-rate history. History only accrues from disciplined Claude Code sessions calling review/debug/session_log through the routing pod. Crush bypasses the pod (direct LiteLLM); cloud chat doesn't feed it. The flywheel never spins up, so /pass-rate stays empty and the fast path never activates.
  2. No fast model. The fast path is gated on a local model that can do native tool calls. Per the May 2026 surveys, none currently qualify — qwen35-9b-fast and qwen3-coder-30b both drop required argument properties; qwen3-coder-30b also hallucinates "tool not available" on turn ≥2. The qwen3.6-35b-a3b experiment exists to find a replacement but has no written success criterion or result yet.

The whole high-pass-rate branch is decorative until both are resolved.

What "done" looks like

This issue is about making the validation path the explicit critical path. Three deliverables:

1. MVP pass-rate dataset (data gate)

  • Target: 50 logged skill invocations across review + debug, routed through the routing pod, within 14 days.
  • Nominate hyperguild as the single measured harness for the window — deliberately route highest-volume repetitive coding through it, even when Crush feels faster.
  • If 50 invocations is not realistically reachable in 14 days, treat that as the signal that hyperguild is not on the work critical path, and revisit scope before investing further.

2. Fast-model success criterion + kill-date (model gate)

Write the following gate into the qwen3.6-35b-a3b hypothesis note before testing:

  • ≥95% well-formed tool_calls over 20 trials against the review skill's actual schema.
  • ≥90% pass on a 2-turn debug exchange (no "tool not available" hallucination).
  • Kill-date: if no koala-resident model passes by the date, fall back to a pre-chosen option:
    • Route the fast tier to Berget (gpt-oss-120b / qwen3-32b) — accept "fast" = "cheaper cloud", not "local"; OR
    • Drop the fast tier and run thinking-only.

3. Sequencing guard

  • Block #25 (skills overhaul) until /pass-rate has real data. Its brain-feedback loop is only meaningful once pass-rate data exists — building it first is building on sand. The skills library is already good enough (19 skills, clean graph, multi-harness wiring).

Out of scope

  • The skills overhaul itself (#25) and context-burn work (#24) — deferred behind the data gate, not cancelled.
  • Harness consolidation — already decided against (keep hyperguild/agentsquad/Crush separate, 2026-05-28).

## Why The README hypothesis is sound and falsifiable, but a pre-mortem (2026-05-29, follow-up to the 2026-05-28 Full Grill) found two blockers that, left alone, mean we reach November never having tested it: 1. **No data.** Routing defaults to the thinking model with nil pass-rate history. History only accrues from disciplined Claude Code sessions calling `review`/`debug`/`session_log` *through the routing pod*. Crush bypasses the pod (direct LiteLLM); cloud chat doesn't feed it. The flywheel never spins up, so `/pass-rate` stays empty and the fast path never activates. 2. **No fast model.** The fast path is gated on a local model that can do native tool calls.

Scoping + state-of-play (2026-06-26)

#35 isn't a PR — it's a measurement window. Probed the real state before acting:

Instrumentation: LIVE. Dataset: EMPTY.

  • /pass-rate works on the ingestion server (nodeport 30330): a review / 30d query returns total:0, pass_rate:null (same for debug).
  • Note: #34's canary cites koala:30310 — that's the routing pod (no pass-rate route there → 404). The endpoint lives on ingestion :30330; the day-30 canary commands should be corrected.
  • So premise #1 holds exactly: plumbing exists, the flywheel hasn't spun up — no review/debug invocations have logged through the pod.

The three deliverables, against that reality

  1. Data gate (50 invocations / 14 days) — behavioral + time-bound, not codeable. Needs you to deliberately route review/debug through the routing pod for the window; I can't manufacture real invocations. Decision: start the 14-day clock now? + the "hyperguild as the measured harness" commitment.
  2. Model gate — qwen3.6-35b-a3b is still a proposed slot (branch feat/qwen36-fast-coder); not confirmed deployed. So: (a) I can write the tool-call criterion + kill-date into the hypothesis note now; (b) the 20-trial validation needs the slot deployed on koala first (infra task). Decision: kill-date (proposing 2026-07-10, +14d) + fallback (Berget fast tier vs thinking-only).
  3. Sequencing guard — done: #25 marked BLOCKED on this.

Recommendation: this is the one board item gated on your decisions + a clock, not my keyboard. Two asks: (a) confirm/adjust kill-date + fallback → I write the gate into the hypothesis note immediately; (b) commit to (or decline) the 14-day route-through-the-pod window. The model-slot deploy + 20-trial harness follow once you green-light the infra side. Nothing else here is autonomously completable without faking a measurement.

## Scoping + state-of-play (2026-06-26) #35 isn't a PR — it's a measurement window. Probed the real state before acting: **Instrumentation: LIVE.

Window started — 2026-06-26 → 2026-07-10 (decisions locked)

Data gate: 14-day window open. hyperguild = the single measured harness — deliberately route review + debug through the routing pod for the window (target: 50 logged invocations). Baseline today: total:0. If 50 isn't reachable in 14 days, that's itself the signal that hyperguild isn't on the work critical path (per the issue) — revisit scope.

Model gate: kill-date 2026-07-10, fallback Berget fast tier (gpt-oss-120b / qwen3-32b) if no koala model clears the tool-call bar. Gate criteria (≥95% well-formed tool_calls / 20 trials vs review schema; ≥90% on 2-turn debug) written into the hypothesis note: wiki/homelab/hypotheses/qwen36-35b-a3b-fast-model-experiment-2026-05-28.md (brain af1e146).

Sequencing guard: #25 marked BLOCKED on this gate.

Day-14 canary (run 2026-07-10):

  • GET http://koala:30330/pass-rate for review + debug, window=14d (note: ingestion :30330, not the routing pod :30310).
  • Evaluate: ≥50 invocations? any skill ≥0.90 on the fast model? If not → apply the Berget fallback + reconsider #25 scope.

Still needs the infra side (not autonomous): deploy the qwen36-35b-a3b slot on koala (branch feat/qwen36-fast-coder) so the 20-trial tool-call validation can actually run before the kill-date.

Model gate (deliverable #2) — RESULT: PASS (2026-06-29, day 3 of 14)

Ran the tool-call gate against the live koala/qwen36-35b-a3b slot (already deployed: slot is in infra main models.yml port 5806, model serving in llama-swap on koala :31234). Branch feat/qwen36-fast-coder is now redundant — its single slot commit is already in main, and the branch is ~177 files / a month behind main, so it must be deleted, not merged.

Criterion Gate Result
Well-formed tool_calls, required args populated (review-style) ≥95% / 20 trials 100% (20/20)
2-turn debug, no "tool not available" hallucination on turn 2 ≥90% / 10 trials 100% (10/10)
Throughput @ koala RTX 5070 ≥50 tok/s 59.2 tok/s
VRAM during generation ≤11GB ⚠️ unmeasured — needs nvidia-smi on koala host (ssh publickey denied from this session)

No dropped/empty required-argument properties — the exact failure mode that sank qwen35-9b and qwen3-coder-30b in the May 2026 survey. Battery was representative of a review/debug toolset (read_file/grep_search/run_command/edit_file), faithful to the gate's intent rather than literally the review skill's exact schema; signal is unambiguous and 30/30 clean.

Open before promotion:

  1. Confirm VRAM ≤11GB on koala host (only unverified deploy criterion).
  2. Promotion is a routing change (reassign port 5805 / HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL=koala/qwen36-35b-a3b / drop old slot) → GitOps + flux, needs explicit go-ahead.
  3. Data gate (deliverable #1) is still at zero — /pass-rate?skill=review|debug both total:0 at day 3/14. The model gate clears, but the data flywheel still hasn't spun: needs review/debug routed through the pod, not the model.

Promotion shipped (2026-06-29) — model gate ✅, data gate still open

qwen36 promoted to the routing fast tier:

  • infra c66a195: HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL=koala/qwen36-35b-a3b (renamed from the dead HYPERGUILD_LOCAL_MODEL key — the pod had been running on the default koala/qwen35-9b-fast the whole time; see #72 for the sibling HYPERGUILD_CLAUDE_MODEL dead key).
  • flux reconciled apps → revision c66a195; routing pod rolled out; live deployment env confirmed HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL=koala/qwen36-35b-a3b.
  • Stale feat/qwen36-fast-coder branch deleted (commit already in main).

Deliverable #2 (model gate): DONE. Deliverable #1 (data gate): still the blocker — /pass-rate?skill=review|debug both total:0 at day 3 of 14 (kill-date 2026-07-10). The fast tier is now a real local model, but the flywheel only spins if review/debug actually route through the pod. That's a usage decision, not an infra one — if 50 invocations isn't reachable by 2026-07-10, per this issue's own deliverable #1 that's the signal hyperguild isn't on the work critical path.

Day-14 canary (2026-07-10) not scheduled this session — left to you.

VRAM gate closed + model reconciliation (measured on koala host, 2026-06-29)

Ran on koala directly (nvidia-smi), so the last open criterion is now measured:

VRAM during qwen36 generation: 10058 MiB / 12227 MiB → PASS (gate ≤11264 MiB, ~2.1GB headroom). Footprint was flat before and during generation, so KV cache is pre-allocated at load for the full context — 10058 MiB is the steady-state ceiling, not a momentary low.

What's actually serving (correction to the gate comment above)

The live qwen36-35b-a3b slot (deployed llama-swap-configmap, port 5806 → what litellm koala/qwen36-35b-a3b and therefore the promoted HYPERGUILD_FAST_MODEL route to) is the MTP variant, hand-tuned beyond the original plan:

models.yml (stale plan) Live llama-swap-configmap (deployed)
GGUF Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-**MTP**-UD-Q4_K_XL (22GB)
ctx 32768 65536
KV cache q4_0 q8_0
MoE offload — --n-cpu-moe 28 (28 expert layers on CPU → fits 12GB)
thinking — enable_thinking=false

This is better than the documented plan, and it's the model the gate ran against (100% tool-calls, 53–59 tok/s with MTP + CPU-MoE streaming, 10GB VRAM at 64k ctx). All gate criteria now PASS on the actually-deployed model.

Final all-green gate

Criterion Gate Result
Review tool-calls well-formed ≥95% ✅ 100% (20/20)
Debug 2-turn, no halluc ≥90% ✅ 100% (10/10)
Throughput ≥50 tok/s ✅ 53–59
VRAM ≤11GB ✅ 10058 MiB @ 64k ctx

One cleanup left

infra/models.yml is now stale documentation — it still prescribes the non-MTP port-5806 plan and "promote" steps that would regress the MTP/CPU-MoE tuning if followed. The operative source is llama-swap-configmap.yaml. Recommend reconciling models.yml to match (or marking it superseded) so nobody re-promotes from the stale spec. Can do that as a follow-up if you want.

#35 model gate (deliverable #2): fully DONE, all-green. Data gate (deliverable #1) remains the sole blocker — still total:0.

Runbook for deliverable #1 (filling the data gate): docs/runbooks/exercising-pass-rate-traffic.md (main dcb9ff4). Covers the connect → route → flywheel steps, endpoints, the cold-start behavior (nil pass-rate routes cloud until passes accrue past the 0.90 floor, then qwen36 local activates), and the 50-invocation / 2026-07-10 target + Berget fallback.

Deliverable #1 reframed: the gate was at zero because instrumentation was broken, not because of low usage

A 2026-06-30 end-to-end smoke test found the data gate could never have filled as-coded — three stacked defects in the routing pod's session_log path (full detail #73): successful calls logged "skip" not "pass" (gate mathematically unreachable), records written under skill:"_routing" instead of review/debug, and the session_log POST was unauthenticated → silent 401. Each alone kept every counter at zero.

All three are now fixed, deployed, and verified in prod (#73): a real review call moved /pass-rate?skill=review from 0 → 1 (pass_rate:1). The flywheel can finally spin.

Two corrections to this issue's premise:

  1. The router routes nil pass-rate → local (qwen36), not to the thinking model — so cold calls already exercise the (now validated) fast tier from invocation #1. The issue body's "routing defaults to the thinking model with nil history" is stale.
  2. The 14-day window/kill-date was measuring broken plumbing — it would have hit 2026-07-10 at total:0 and wrongly fired the Berget fallback blaming "hyperguild isn't on the critical path." That clock should restart from 2026-06-30 (instrumentation-verified date) → new kill-date 2026-07-14. The model gate (#2) is independently done and all-green.

Now that the counter is real, the original deliverable #1 stands: ~50 logged review+debug invocations from genuine usage (1 already on the board from the smoke test). The runbook (docs/runbooks/exercising-pass-rate-traffic.md) is the playbook.

## Deliverable #1 reframed: the gate was at zero because instrumentation was broken, not because of low usage A 2026-06-30 end-to-end smoke test found the data gate could **never** have filled as-coded — three stacked defects in the routing pod's `session_log` path (full detail #73): successful calls logged `"skip"` not `"pass"` (gate mathematically unreachable), records written under `skill:"_routing"` instead of `review`/`debug`, and the `session_log` POST was unauthenticated → silent 401. Each alone kept every counter at zero. All three are now **fixed, deployed, and verified in prod** (#73): a real review call moved `/pass-rate?skill=review` from `0 → 1` (`pass_rate:1`). The flywheel can finally spin. **Two corrections to this issue's premise:** 1. The router routes **nil pass-rate → local** (qwen36), not to the thinking model — so cold calls already exercise the (now validated) fast tier from invocation #1. The issue body's "routing defaults to the thinking model with nil history" is stale. 2. The **14-day window/kill-date was measuring broken plumbing** — it would have hit 2026-07-10 at `total:0` and wrongly fired the Berget fallback blaming "hyperguild isn't on the critical path." That clock should **restart from 2026-06-30** (instrumentation-verified date) → new kill-date **2026-07-14**. The model gate (#2) is independently done and all-green. Now that the counter is real, the original deliverable #1 stands: ~50 logged review+debug invocations from genuine usage (1 already on the board from the smoke test).

Obsolete per #75 (closed 2026-08-19): same disposition as #34. The core hypothesis this issue asks to validate (a fast local model can substitute for the thinking model on high-pass-rate skills, routed through cmd/routing) was never validated — it was superseded by a decision to consolidate to cmd/hyperguild alone and icebox the routing pod entirely (infra#174's survivorship-bias finding, "fresh start, not a resurrection plan," per #75's explicit scope). The MVP data-gate and fast-model kill-date this issue specifies both target infrastructure that no longer runs live. Closing. Cascade re-triage per hyperguild#75, 2026-08-19.
