gates / consistency-and-conventions (push) Successful in 26s
fix: llama-server start breakage — version detection, flag-validation race, model dir resolution, user-bus pre-flight
User report after the llamacpp app install: 'installed llama.cpp unknown',
valid flags rejected (randomly per run), 'Model not found' for the HF
downloader's own layout, and a systemd user-bus failure over SSH. Detective
(real b10822 binary, FACT) found four independent causes:

- version: llama-server --version prints to STDERR; detect_llama_version's
  2>/dev/null swallowed it -> always 'unknown'. Now captures 2>&1 + accepts
  semver/build tokens (incl. build 1.2.3 edge)
- validation: printf|grep -q under pipefail -> SIGPIPE rc=141 race randomly
  rejected flags present in the 59 KB --help. Now pipe-less grep (no race);
  20x determinism regression test
- model resolution: resolve_model accepted files only, but the HF downloader
  creates <models>/<repo>/file.gguf dirs. Now expands a dir with exactly one
  *.gguf (never silently picks; multi-gguf lists + errs)
- port: llama.cpp default 8080 vs tool/adapter 8088; validation reliability
  means --port is now always pinned in the unit
- user bus: headless/SSH sessions lack XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -> ensure_user_bus in
  lib/common.sh pre-flights all three systemctl --user tools with remediation
  text; pos ai server --no-unit direct-run escape hatch (pidfile) for boxes
  with no bus
- find_llamacpp narrowed to llama-server/llama-server-cuda (bare 'server'
  fallback hazard); installer post-install sanity (version+help execute,
  symlink targets resolve)

Architect decisions DQ1-DQ6 recorded. Tester: 4 new regression files
(version-from-stderr, 25x flag-validation determinism, model dir expansion,
bus pre-flight + E2E) + 3 fixture updates; suite 16 files / 269 checks.

Verified: make gen idempotent; make check OK; make lint 0 FAIL, 0 WARN;
make test 269/269 (~49s); bash -n clean; git diff --check clean.

Maintainer — AGENT_TODO.md Done entry for 2026-09-06 AI-server round

TL;DR

  • Finding: AI-server breakage round (llamacpp install fallout) finished, but no AGENT_TODO Done entry captured it yet. Per repo convention ("move completed work into Done (dated one-line) in the same commit that finishes the work"), a commit is imminent and the edit must ride it. Added ONE new Done entry.
  • Correction: Added a single 2026-09-06 entry at the TOP of Done (newest-last placement), style matching existing entries, ~9 lines, condensing the Detective/Architect/Builder/Tester reports. All other content untouched.
  • Validation: git diff --stat AGENT_TODO.md = 1 file changed, 2 insertions. No gates run (file is not part of gen/check/lint).

Step 1: Locate Done section + newest-last placement

Read AGENT_TODO.md. Done entries are newest-at-top within the section (e.g. the existing 2026-09-06 entries precede 2026-09-05/04/…). The new entry was inserted immediately after ## Done, above the existing "Stabilization pass" entry.

Step 2: Check the existing 2026-09-06 "Stabilization pass" entry for contradiction

Reviewed it (lines 45+). It records the 17-point audit's own scope (help-flag validation, security, tooling, config, tests at 12 files/179 checks). The new round found deeper defects (stderr version detection, SIGPIPE race, dir expansion, port mismatch, user-bus) that the pass did not claim to have covered. No statement in the stabilization entry asserts these were already fixed, so no minimal adjustment is warranted — the entries are complementary, not contradictory. Per the brief, left everything else untouched.

Step 3: Add the new Done entry

Inserted one 2026-09-06 entry at the top of Done, ~9 lines, matching existing style (- **YYYY-MM-DD** — prefix, terse evidence-backed summary), condensing:

  • Detective root cause (b10822 binary: --version→STDERR mg07 hidden by 2>/dev/null; printf|grep -q SIGPIPE rc=141 flag race; resolve_model file-only vs downloader dirs; port 8080 vs 8088)
  • Architect DQ1-DQ6 (help-gated stays; no silent dir-expansion pick; ensure_user_bus pre-flight; --no-unit escape hatch; candidates narrowed; port pinned 8088; installer sanity)
  • Builder F1-F7 + F1 regex edge (build 1.2.31)
  • Tester (4 regression files + 3 fixture updates; 16 files / 269 checks)
  • Verification (gen idempotent, check OK, lint 0 FAIL/0 WARN, test 269/269, bash -n, git diff --check)
  • Post-fix user outcome (XDG_RUNTIME_DIR + linger → Option A or --no-unit)

[DONE]

Report status

Status: MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE

  • Maintenance objective: add ONE Done entry for the AI-server round, newest-at-top, style-matched; adjust stale text only if it contradicts (it did not).
  • Files changed: AGENT_TODO.md (one entry added).
  • Verification: git diff stat above; content diff reviewed.
  • Scope compliance: in-scope corrections only (touched ONLY AGENT_TODO.md); no features, no new standards, no other files.
  • Remaining / deferred items: none for this objective. The edit rides the imminent commit made by the committer (I did NOT commit).
  • Recommended next agent: Orchestrator (commit + handoff).
