Runs marked unenforced were measured on a suite that requires constrained decoding, on a server shown not to apply the schema: mlx_lm accepts it and ignores it, and a few other servers and models break it. Those numbers do not measure what the suite is designed to measure. They are kept and labelled rather than deleted.

Where it came from

  • Source: webmp3/Sakura-MicroQuality-Kolibri-1-365E-GGUF, file Sakura-Kolibri-1-365E-IQ3_XXS-27.45GiB.gguf; revision not on record.
  • Size: 29,472,035,488 B (stat). sha256 cb53d1ca412ff83029b427a45656be725c2b15a00e8cd080c30e22780bceb788 from the repo's SHA256SUMS; the download script printed "sha256 OK".
  • Download: pardl.sh, 6 ranges, started 2026-10-11 12:53Z, landed 13:23Z, sharing the line with the second Q8_0 pull.
  • Who asked: Alan, "grab the sakura version if it fits, always handy having models to test without fucking around".
  • Quant: IQ3_XXS mix, 3.17 bpw; the GGUF's file_type reads Q8_0 (inherited), and run manifests record model_ftype: Q8_0 for it (manifests) — do not infer the quant from that field.

Seats held: swap seat on demand (an end-to-end test swapped sakura in (reported at 20:03Z) and the seat went back to ornith-9b); it was in the seat again on 2026-10-12 07:32Z. The gauntlet ran in the vacated seat with ornith-9b restored on exit.

Decisions

  • Benched for the swap seat, not for a worker seat: the verdict was "a strong tool-and-screening occupant for the swap seat" and, of consolidating onto it, "Moving everything onto Sakura alone is a no".
  • Registered as a play-seat bench entry on Alan's instruction "stick the sakura kolibri as an available model in the swap seat"; PR #5 merged 2026-10-11, fleetview restarted 19:16Z.
  • Context raised twice on 2026-10-12 at Alan's prompting (see the family decision log).

What went wrong

  • Needle at 32K slots (2026-10-11 14:15Z). 55 needle cases returned HTTP 400 ("request (33864 tokens) exceeds the available context size") because the assistant set -c 131072 -np 4; the harness correctly scored them unmeasured. The published 63.6% (35/55) is a half-coverage number.
  • Stopped needle rerun. The 128K rerun was cut at 83/110 so the swap seat came back on schedule; the run-log row is 65.1% on 83 attempted (the 27 longest omitted).
  • Locked suites broken in the repo. shapegen refused to start because 12 cases had changed without a version bump (shapegen/2), and sitebuild consumes shapegen's data. Not a Sakura failure; no model can score either suite.
  • Resumed-run summary undercount. The Saluki run (same session) exposed that a resumed run prints only that session's rows; none of the Sakura files was resumed.
  • Header/stamp traps (standing checks): model_ftype: Q8_0 in the manifests is inherited, not the quant. The run-log llama_build b11533 (769ced466) is correct for this binary (commit 769ced466 is the rebased Hob-forge patch commit on upstream 6184e92c5); upstream b11533 alone would not load the model. --reasoning-format was not set; profile extraction runs thinking off.
  • Slot config differs between the gauntlet and the live seat (4 x 32K scored; 2 x 128K served): no run-log label covers the live config except the needle-only np2-128k label.
