fix(permissions): narrow rm -rf deny globs to their exact forms

The trailing wildcard on the three rm -rf deny entries spanned path
separators, so Bash(rm -rf /*) matched every absolute path on the
machine rather than the filesystem root, and the ~ and $HOME entries
had the same shape. Narrowed to the exact literal forms.

These rules match literal command text, so they still stop a typo on
rm -rf /, rm -rf ~ or rm -rf $HOME exactly, but they no longer stop a
recursive delete aimed at any other path. That reduced cover is
deliberate, not an oversight.

This is a dedicated programming pass, not lint tidying, and it is what currently blocks `make pre-push`.
+
+MEASURED 2026-08-11 so the next session does not re-derive it:
+
+  29 no-untyped-def   functions with no annotations — the bulk, and genuine per-function work
+  18 no-any-return    mostly downstream of the above
+  12 assignment
+  11 arg-type
+   5 unused-ignore    `# type: ignore` comments mypy says are no longer needed
+   5 union-attr
+   4 var-annotated
+   3 override
+   remainder: misc, dict-item, attr-defined, return-value, call-overload
+
+By file: agents/tatlock.py 15, core/memory_service.py 11, responses/streaming.py 8, responses/service.py 7, core/context.py 6.
+
+THE TWO SHARED ROOTS ARE ALREADY FIXED (dac259a), so what is left has no lever in it. For reference, they were: five conversation lists declared bare, where mypy infers the element type from the first append (a ModelRequest) and then rejects every ModelResponse; and an agent built as Agent(model, system_prompt=...) with no deps_type, inferred Agent[None, str], while every tool it registers takes RunContext[ToolCallTracker].
+
+WORTH KNOWING BEFORE STARTING. Annotating partially made mypy count go UP before it went down — declaring `_agent: Agent | None` took agents/tatlock.py from 22 to 24, because resolving the bare Agent to Agent[None, str] surfaced four argument-type errors the Any had been hiding. Expect that shape: a rising count during this work usually means concealment ending, not damage.
+
+The mypy config is strict — disallow_untyped_defs, disallow_incomplete_defs, warn_return_any, check_untyped_defs, strict_equality — so there is no partial-credit setting to lean on, and weakening it would be the wrong trade for a codebase this central.
+

+  - `pytest tests/` cannot collect at all: tests/e2e/test_orchestration_e2e.py uses an `e2e` marker that is not registered and the config is strict about markers. `make test` passes only because it ignores tests/e2e, tests/integration and tests/contracts.', NULL, '2026-08-11 18:26:58', '2026-08-11 18:26:58.523', '2026-08-11 18:26:58.523', NULL, 'c8c9b6a20cf18ca903fc8c720f70e73d', 2) ON CONFLICT(hash) DO NOTHING;

That key was revoked and no longer exists on Anthropic''s side, so this is dead weight rather than an exposure — but it is dead weight that reads exactly like a live credential to anyone who finds it.
+
+The cost is confusion, not risk. Someone debugging a Claude fallback will find a key present, assume it is configured, and look elsewhere for the failure. The absence of a key is a clear signal; a revoked key is a misleading one.
+
+`.env` is gitignored here and has never been committed, so nothing needs rewriting — the value simply needs removing from the local file, and the line dropping or blanking in `.env.example` if it appears there too.
+
+RELATED, and the reason this is filed separately: the workspace vault holds T-13, "Clear the revoked ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the live Portainer stack". That ticket is scoped to the Portainer stack only. Whoever closes it will reasonably believe the key is gone once the stack is clean, and this copy will survive. The two want doing together even though they commit separately.
+
+Context on the revocation, since it explains why nobody removed this at the time: the key was revoked on 2026-08-09 after being printed into a transcript by a redaction filter that matched on `KEY` appearing after the `=`. In `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...` it appears before, so the filter never fired.

+
+MEASURED 2026-08-11 so the next session does not re-derive it:
+
+  29 no-untyped-def   functions with no annotations — the bulk, and genuine per-function work
+  18 no-any-return    mostly downstream of the above
+  12 assignment
+  11 arg-type
+   5 unused-ignore    `# type: ignore` comments mypy says are no longer needed
+   5 union-attr
+   4 var-annotated
+   3 override
+   remainder: misc, dict-item, attr-defined, return-value, call-overload
+
+By file: agents/tatlock.py 15, core/memory_service.py 11, responses/streaming.py 8, responses/service.py 7, core/context.py 6.
+
+THE TWO SHARED ROOTS ARE ALREADY FIXED (dac259a), so what is left has no lever in it. For reference, they were: five conversation lists declared bare, where mypy infers the element type from the first append (a ModelRequest) and then rejects every ModelResponse; and an agent built as Agent(model, system_prompt=...) with no deps_type, inferred Agent[None, str], while every tool it registers takes RunContext[ToolCallTracker].
+
+WORTH KNOWING BEFORE STARTING. Annotating partially made mypy count go UP before it went down — declaring `_agent: Agent | None` took agents/tatlock.py from 22 to 24, because resolving the bare Agent to Agent[None, str] surfaced four argument-type errors the Any had been hiding. Expect that shape: a rising count during this work usually means concealment ending, not damage.
+
+The mypy config is strict — disallow_untyped_defs, disallow_incomplete_defs, warn_return_any, check_untyped_defs, strict_equality — so there is no partial-credit setting to lean on, and weakening it would be the wrong trade for a codebase this central.
+
+TWO PRE-EXISTING TEST FACTS, both confirmed at HEAD and neither caused by the lint work:
+  - test_tatlock_tool_call_logging_calculator is flaky: failed 2 of 5 full runs, on HEAD and on the lint branch, and fails in isolation at HEAD while passing in isolation after the lint pass. Order- or timing-dependent.
+  - `pytest tests/` cannot collect at all: tests/e2e/test_orchestration_e2e.py uses an `e2e` marker that is not registered and the config is strict about markers. `make test` passes only because it ignores tests/e2e, tests/integration and tests/contracts.', 'backlog', 'high', NULL, NULL, NULL, '2026-08-11 18:26:58.318', '2026-08-11 18:26:58.523', NULL, 'fc047dd080d976c4ca0c551cac8fec93', 2) ON CONFLICT(record_id) DO UPDATE SET type=excluded.type, parent_record_id=excluded.parent_record_id, title=excluded.title, description=excluded.description, status=excluded.status, priority=excluded.priority, assigned_to=excluded.assigned_to, team=excluded.team, decision_ref=excluded.decision_ref, updated_at=excluded.updated_at, deleted_at=excluded.deleted_at, hash=excluded.hash, canonical_version=excluded.canonical_version WHERE excluded.updated_at >= tickets.updated_at;

+The cost is confusion, not risk. Someone debugging a Claude fallback will find a key present, assume it is configured, and look elsewhere for the failure. The absence of a key is a clear signal; a revoked key is a misleading one.

+RELATED, and the reason this is filed separately: the workspace vault holds T-13, "Clear the revoked ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the live Portainer stack".

The two want doing together even though they commit separately.

-# LLM Agent Instructions
-
-This document contains instructions and documentation references for AI assistants working with this codebase.
-
-> **📖 Important**: Before working on this project, read [docs/philosophy.md](docs/philosophy.md) to understand the system vision, architectural patterns, and design goals. All development should work towards realizing those patterns.
-# AGENTS.md
-
-> **Start every session by reading this file.**
-> This file outlines the operational protocols, coding standards, and architectural decisions for this FastAPI project.
-
-## 1. Agent Operational Protocols
-
-### 🧠 Work Patterns (Plan-Act-Reflect)
-* **Plan:** Before writing code, briefly outline your plan. Identify which files you will touch and what the side effects might be.
-* **Act:** Execute the changes in small, atomic steps.
-* **Reflect:** After coding, verify your work. Did you break existing tests? Did you add new tests?
-
-### 🧪 Local Development Setup
-* **Always test locally first** before committing and deploying. The build-deploy loop is slow.
-* **Start the local server** with `./wakeup.sh` - logs are written to `logs/server.log` for easy tailing
-* **Auto-reload**: The wakeup script runs uvicorn in reload mode - code changes are picked up automatically without restart (except for requirements.txt changes)
-* **Test REST endpoints** against `http://localhost:8777` using curl or similar tools
-* **Only deploy** when a phase or feature is complete and tested locally
-* **Environment**: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure for your local setup (Ollama, Redis, Qdrant hosts)
-* **Running tests**: Always use the venv explicitly to avoid environment mismatches:
-  ```bash
-  .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/           # All tests
-  .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/core/ -v   # Core tests only
-  ```
-
-### 🌐 Internal Service Access
-* **git.schweitz.net**: Access via `http://localhost:3002` (direct Gitea) to bypass Authentik SSO
-  * Example: `curl http://localhost:3002/jpmschweitzer/library-desk/raw/branch/main/README.md`
-  * Public repos are readable without authentication
-  * Related repos: `library-desk`, `scheduler`, `core-api`, `portainer-core`
-
-### 🐳 Deployment & Infrastructure
-* **Full stack documentation**: Available in the `portainer-core` repo
-  * Access: `curl http://localhost:3002/jpmschweitzer/portainer-core/raw/branch/main/CONTAINERS.md`
-  * Contains: All service ports, URLs, Redis DB allocations, external domains
-* **Tatlock deployment**:
-  * LAN: `http://192.168.86.149:8000`
-  * External: `tatlock.schweitz.net` (behind Authentik SSO)
-  * Redis DBs: 1 (memory), 6 (benchmarks)
-* **Health check**: `curl http://192.168.86.149:8000/health`
-
-### 🛡️ Git Discipline
-* **NEVER commit to `main` or `master` directly.** Always create a feature branch: `feature/your-feature-name` or `fix/issue-description`.
-* **Commit Messages:** Use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format.
-    * `feat: add user login endpoint`
-    * `fix: resolve database connection timeout`
-    * `refactor: split monolith dependency file`
-* **Atomic Commits:** Keep commits small. One logical change = one commit.
-
-### 📝 Changelog Maintenance
-* **Update `CHANGELOG.md`** with every user-facing change.
-* Format: `## [Unreleased] - YYYY-MM-DD` followed by `### Added`, `### Changed`, or `### Fixed`.
-
-### 🚀 Release Flow
-When changes are ready for deployment:
-
-1. **Ask user if deploy cycle is desired**
-
-2. **Update version** in `pyproject.toml`:
-   - Bug fixes: bump patch version (1.8.3 → 1.8.4)
-   - New features: bump minor version (1.8.4 → 1.9.0)
-
-3. **Update CHANGELOG.md**:
-   - Move items from `[Unreleased]` to new version section
-   - Add release date: `## [1.8.4] - 2025-12-16`
-
-4. **Commit and tag**:
-   ```bash
-   git add -A
-   git commit -m "fix: description of changes"
-   git tag v1.8.4
-   git push origin main --tags
-   ```
-
-5. **CI/CD triggers automatically**:
-   - Gitea CI builds Docker image on new tag
-   - Watchtower pulls and deploys to production
-   - Verify deployment: `curl http://192.168.86.149:8000/health`

-*Reference: [FastAPI Best Practices](https://github.com/zhanymkanov/fastapi-best-practices)*

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- `make setup` now ends with a `pytest --collect-only` pass so a broken environment
+  (missing or mismatched dependency) fails the target itself instead of exiting 0
+  and surfacing later as a confusing test failure (T-47)
+
+## [2.4.3] - 2026-08-08
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Steward routing no longer triggers on words inside its own explanation. Capability
+  extraction reads the declared `DELEGATE:` line instead of substring-matching
+  capability domains across the whole response, where ordinary English routed
+  requests — "description" contains the housekeeper domain "script", "acknowledge"
+  contains "knowledge" and "know". A spurious capability meant a real agent call,
+  including web searches, on queries that needed none.

+- Container crash-loop on fresh builds: cap `opentelemetry-api` below 1.44,

+Privacy-first homelab butler. An OpenAI-compatible orchestration API over local models, with
+household staff agents built on PydanticAI. Python 3.12 / FastAPI, `version = "2.4.3"`.
+Container `tatlock` on `docker-dataplane`, port **8000**. Redis DB **1** (memory), Qdrant for
+vectors.
 
-## Setup & Commands
+## Ports
+
+| | Port | How |
+|---|---|---|
+| Local dev | **8777** | `make run` — uvicorn reload, logs to `build/logs/server.log` |
+| Production | **8000** | container; `http://192.168.86.149:8000/health`, external `tatlock.schweitz.net` behind Authentik |
+
+Test endpoints against `localhost:8777` while developing. `localhost:8000` is the *container*.
+
+## Live contract
+
+`http://localhost:8000/openapi.json` — **5 paths**, `title: OpenAI-Compatible API`, `version:
+2.4.3` (verified 2026-08-09): `/`, `/health`, `/v1/models`, `/v1/chat/completions`,
+`/v1/responses`. `/v1/responses` is primary; `/v1/chat/completions` exists for Open WebUI.
+
+**The spec is the public surface, not the system.** The household capability registry is internal
+and appears nowhere in those 5 paths. Absence from the spec means "not exposed", not "does not
+exist".
+
+## Two traps that make the runtime look like the opposite of what it is
+
+**1. `src/anthropic` loads at startup; `src/ollama` does not — and Ollama is the primary
+backend.** A cold `import src.main` inside the container shows `agents, anthropic, chat, core,
+main, models, responses` — no `ollama`. The only import of it is a *function-body* one at
+`src/anthropic/model_selector.py:230`. Meanwhile `PREFER_CLOUD_BACKEND=false`, so every request
+actually goes to Ollama and the Claude path is off (see **workspace D-11**). Reading the module list
+naively gives you exactly the wrong answer: the package that looks live is the disabled fallback,
+and the one that looks dead is the hot path. Do not conclude anything about backends from
+`sys.modules`; read the config.
+
+**2. In-process singletons are empty outside the app.** `get_household_registry()`
+(`src/core/household_registry.py:334`) in a fresh `docker exec python` returns **0 members**,
+while the running app serves 2 models from it — it is populated at startup. Import the
+module-level definitions or ask the endpoint; never import a singleton and assume it is
+populated.
+
+## Stack decisions that bind this repo
+
+Recorded in the workspace vault, not here. Read before assuming anything about the LLM backend:
 
 ```bash
-make setup          # Create venv and install all dependencies
-make test           # Unit tests (no external services)
-make test-integration  # Integration tests (needs Claude/Ollama)
-make test-contracts # Wire-level contract tests against live service boundaries
-make run            # Start dev server on port 8777
-make lint           # Ruff linter + formatter check
-make typecheck      # Mypy
-make clean          # Remove caches and build artifacts
+/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql --vault /mnt/media/Projects decisions read workspace D-11
 ```
 
-Dependencies are in `pyproject.toml` (`[project.dependencies]` and `[project.optional-dependencies.dev]`).
+**workspace D-11 — the Claude migration is abandoned. Tatlock stays on Ollama.** Do not resume it and do
+not treat its remnants as unfinished work. What you will find, and why none of it is a TODO:
+`ANTHROPIC_MODEL` is set on the container (`claude-sonnet-4-20250514`) and never used because
+`PREFER_CLOUD_BACKEND=false`; `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is a variable reference whose literal was
+revoked 2026-08-09; `docs/claude-integration.md` documents a capability that exists but is
+switched off. The cost is deliberate: reasoning stays at `gemma4:e2b` scale because VRAM is
+shared with Speaches.
 
-## Critical Gotchas
+`REDIS_BENCHMARK_DB=6` is allocated on the container but the benchmarking module was never
+implemented — see the gotcha below. Vestigial, like the Anthropic settings.
 
-**ASGITransport does NOT trigger FastAPI lifespan events.** The session-scoped `_initialize_app` fixture in `tests/conftest.py` calls `initialize_application()` explicitly via `asyncio.run()`. Without this, the Ollama/Claude health checks never run: `_ollama_available` stays `None` (treated as available, so requests go to Ollama) and `_claude_available` stays `None` (treated as unavailable, so the Claude fallback never engages).
+## Critical gotchas
 
-**AsyncIO scope mismatch.** `asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = function` is set in `pyproject.toml`. Session-scoped async fixtures cause `ScopeMismatch` errors. The fix is to use a sync fixture with `asyncio.run()` for session-scoped initialization.

-**The butler persona prompt suppresses local-model tool calling.** With `TATLOCK_SYSTEM_PROMPT` attached, gemma4 reasons about calling the calculator, then answers from memory with wrong arithmetic (a different wrong product each run). `orchestrate_tool_calls()` therefore uses the terse `TATLOCK_ORCHESTRATION_PROMPT`; the persona is applied in `synthesize_from_results()`. Do not reattach the persona prompt to a tool-phase agent. `tool_choice: "required"` via extra_body does NOT force Ollama to call tools — it is advisory at best.

+`asyncio.run()` for session-scoped initialization.
 
-**Claude Sonnet 5+ rejects sampling parameters.** `temperature`/`top_p`/`top_k` return a 400. Use `get_sampling_settings()` from the model selector instead of passing `ModelSettings(temperature=...)` directly to agents that can run on the Claude fallback. The contract test suite pins this (`make test-contracts`).

-**Integration test timeouts.** Set to 120s to match `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT` config (300s for the pure-Ollama fallback test, which cannot be rescued by Claude). Current GPU-resident numbers (2026-07-14, driver 570, gemma4:e2b at ~100 tok/s): Steward analysis ~6s warm, full Steward → orchestrate → synthesize flow 11–25s, librarian-routed queries ~20-25s. The old "~35s steward / ~2 min flow" figures were measured during the CPU-only era (driver mismatch, 13 tok/s) — do not plan against them. Cold start after 2h idle adds ~8s (`OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=2h`). `STEWARD_TIMEOUT` defaults to 60s.

-**`get_benchmark_store` does not exist.** The benchmarking module (`src/core/benchmarks.py`) was never implemented. `scripts/benchmark_analysis.py` also references it and is broken. Do not add mocks for it in tests.
+**Integration test timeouts** are 120s to match `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT` (300s for the pure-Ollama
+fallback test, which Claude cannot rescue). GPU-resident numbers measured 2026-08-07 with
+gemma4:e2b at ~95 tok/s: full Steward → orchestrate → synthesize ~10–13s for simple turns;
+librarian-routed ~20–25s (not re-measured). **A single turn costs 3 sequential Ollama calls and
+~710 generated tokens even for "what is 61 plus 12?"** — mostly the model's own reasoning, paid
+three times. Cold model load is ~36s, avoided while pinned with `keep_alive: -1`; the

+## Commands
+
+```bash
+make setup            # venv + all dependencies
+make run              # dev server on 8777, reload, logs to build/logs/server.log
+make test             # unit tests, no external services
+make test-integration # needs Ollama (and Claude, if enabled)
+make test-contracts   # wire-level contract tests against live service boundaries
+make lint             # ruff linter + formatter check
+make typecheck        # mypy
+make clean            # remove caches and build artifacts
+```
+
+Always run pytest through the venv explicitly, to avoid environment mismatch:
+
+```bash
+.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/
+.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/core/ -v
+```
+
+Dependencies live in `pyproject.toml` (`[project.dependencies]`, `[project.optional-dependencies.dev]`).
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure Ollama, Redis and Qdrant hosts.
+
+**Contract tests before code review.** When the question is "do these two services still agree?",
+`make test-contracts` answers it by observing the live boundary; reading both codebases only tells
+you what should happen. Semantics: unreachable → skip, reachable-but-wrong-shape → fail.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Domain-first under `src/`: `agents/` (steward, librarian, biographer, housekeeper, tatlock_core),
+`core/`, `chat/`, `responses/`, `models/`, `ollama/`, `anthropic/`. Two tiers — the Steward routes,
+Tatlock coordinates. Group new work by domain, not by file type.
+
+## Internal service access
+
+`http://localhost:3002` reaches Gitea directly, bypassing Authentik SSO — verified returning
+`{"version":"1.27.1"}`. Useful for reading a sibling repo's raw files:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:3002/jpmschweitzer/library-desk/raw/branch/main/README.md
+```
+
+The old AGENTS.md pointed at **`portainer-core`** for full-stack documentation. That repo is
+**deprecated** and must not be used as a source of infra facts; it was merged into
+`system-admin-toj/containers/`, where `CONTAINERS.md` is the live inventory.
+
+## Work tracking
+
+Work lives in **pql**, not a markdown TODO. **This repo's vault is standalone** — its tickets and
+internal decisions live here in `.pql/` and `governance/`, and travel with a clone, because
+`.pql/changelog/` is committed and replayed by the git hooks (workspace D-15). The databases are gitignored
+and rebuildable with `pql plan rebuild`.
+
+`pql` is **not** on the non-interactive `PATH` — invoke it as `/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql`.
+From inside this repo no `--vault` is needed; pql anchors at the nearest `.git/` ancestor.
+
+```bash
+/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql ticket list        # this repo's open work
+/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql plan whatsnext     # next unblocked item, with context
+/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql decisions list     # this repo's own decisions
+```
+
+Stack decisions that constrain this service need the flag:
+
+```bash
+/home/jpmschweitzer/.local/bin/pql --vault /mnt/media/Projects decisions list --domain tatlock-api
+```
+
+The workspace domain is `tatlock-api`, not `tatlock` — pql rejects a domain stem that prefixes
+another, and `tatlock` prefixes `tatlock-ui`. A `tatlock-api -> tatlock` symlink at the workspace
+root makes the directory answer to both (workspace D-15).
+
+Note `ticket new --decision D-N` resolves ids within **one** vault, so a ticket here cannot link
+to a workspace decision. Cite the id in the ticket body instead.
+
+## Git
+
+- **History is linear — no merge commits.** Work on `main`, or a short-lived branch that is
+  fast-forwarded and deleted. This repo's AGENTS.md mandated a feature branch for every change;
+  that rule was retired workspace-wide on 2026-08-08 and does not apply.
+- **Conventional Commits**: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `chore:`.
+- **Stage explicitly. Never `git add -A`** — denied by policy, and it sweeps in whatever else is
+  dirty, including secrets.
+- Update `CHANGELOG.md` for every user-facing change, under `[Unreleased]`.
+
+## Releasing
+
+Test locally first — the build-deploy loop is slow. Deploy only when a feature is complete.
+
+1. Ask whether a deploy is wanted; it is not automatic.
+2. Bump `version` in `pyproject.toml` (patch for fixes, minor for features).
+3. Move `[Unreleased]` entries into a dated section in `CHANGELOG.md`.
+4. Stage the changed files by name, commit, tag `vX.Y.Z`, `git push origin main --tags`.
+5. Gitea CI builds and pushes on the tag; Watchtower deploys.
+6. Verify: `curl http://192.168.86.149:8000/health`.

+# Steward Routing & Thinking — Findings
+
+**Outcome: no change shipped.** The Steward stays on `gemma4:e2b` with model
+thinking left at its default (on). Every alternative was measured and every one
+loses. This document exists so the experiment is not repeated on the same
+premise.
+
+Run 2026-08-08 with `scripts/benchmark_routing.py` and
+`scripts/fixtures/routing_fixtures.py` (40 labelled queries, one repeat per
+cell, temperature 0.3 as production sends).
+
+---
+
+## The premise was wrong
+
+The experiment was designed around an observation that the Steward pays ~300
+tokens per turn for reasoning that is generated and thrown away: it calls
+`/api/generate`, gemma4 reasons by default, and **no `thinking` field comes back
+in the response**. Disabling thinking therefore looked close to free.
+
+It is not. The reasoning is not discarded — it is emitted inline in `response`,
+and it is what produces a correct `DELEGATE:` line. Those tokens are the work,
+not waste. Suppressing them costs 12.5 points of routing accuracy.
+
+## Results
+
+| config | exact | under | over | tokens | latency | resident | predicted | co-resident with nomic |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **e2b, thinking** *(production)* | **97.5%** | 2.5% | 0% | 361 | 5179 ms | 1778 MB | 7.8 GiB | yes |
+| e2b, `think: false` | 85.0% | 12.5% | 5.0% | 48 | 1435 ms | 1778 MB | 7.8 GiB | yes |
+| e4b, thinking | 100% | 0% | 0% | 192 | 4726 ms | 3089 MB | 10.6 GiB | **no** |
+| e4b, `think: false` | 97.5% | 2.5% | 0% | 52 | 2269 ms | 3089 MB | 10.6 GiB | **no** |
+
+`think: true` was also measured and landed within one fixture of the default on
+both models, so production's implicit thinking is the same thing as asking for
+it explicitly. Format compliance was 100% in every cell — a `DELEGATE:` line is
+always emitted.
+
+With 40 fixtures and one repeat, each result is worth 2.5 points, so the
+97.5-vs-100 gaps are single fixtures and inside the noise. The latency and token
+medians (40 calls each) and the e2b `think: false` degradation (6 failures with a
+consistent mechanism) are the parts worth trusting.
+
+## Why each alternative loses
+
+**`think: false` on e2b** — 85% exact, and the failures are not random. All three
+multi-capability fixtures under-route, each missing a second capability. Without
+reasoning the model names one capability and stops decomposing. It is not
+degraded across the board; it specifically stops handling compound requests,
+which is where a user would most notice the Butler quietly doing half the job.
+
+**e4b, either setting** — disqualified by memory, not by quality. Ollama predicts
+**10.6 GiB** for it at 16k context. Maximum available on this card is ~7.9 GiB
+(10.4 free − 2.0 GPU overhead − 0.46 minimum), so e4b *always* exceeds the budget
+and evicts every co-resident before loading. Observed directly: loading it threw
+out both `gemma4:e2b` and `nomic-embed-text`. Losing nomic means Tatlock memory
+and library-desk thrash on every embedding call. Note this is not caused by the
+2 GiB reservation — without it, available would be ~9.7 GiB, still under 10.6.
+
+**Lower `OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH`** — the obvious way to free headroom, and it does
+not work. Dropping 16384 → 2048, an 8× reduction, moved the prediction only from
+7.8 to 6.7 GiB. The prediction is dominated by weights and batch size, not KV
+cache. It would also truncate the Librarian's retrieved passages and webber's
+code context for a 14% saving that funds nothing.
+
+**Per-request `num_ctx`** — worse. A single request with a different `num_ctx`
+reloads the shared runner, which **drops the `keep_alive: -1` pin** (expiry fell
+from year-2318 to a 2-hour default) and evicts nomic. Three services share this
+Ollama, so mixed context sizes are a thrash generator, and it fails silently.
+
+**`OLLAMA_NUM_PARALLEL > 1`** — never viable here. e2b already predicts 7.8 GiB
+against ~7.9 available, so there is no room for a second slot at any context
+length. It is also set to 1 deliberately, to avoid batch overflow panics.
+
+## What the two axes actually control
+
+They do not interact, which is the useful part:
+
+- **Model choice** governs VRAM and co-residency. e2b 1778 MB, e4b 3089 MB.
+- **Think setting** governs tokens, latency and routing quality — and costs
+  **nothing** in VRAM. Verified: e2b is resident at 1778 MB with `think` unset,
+  true and false alike, because the KV cache is allocated for the full context at
+  load time and `think` is a per-request generation parameter.
+
+So the only real question is whether 313 tokens and 3.7 seconds are worth 12.5
+points of compound-query routing. On a turn that is already three sequential
+Ollama calls, they are.
+
+## Prerequisite: the extraction fix
+
+These numbers are only meaningful because `_extract_capabilities` was fixed first
+(commit `a905363`). It previously substring-matched capability *domains* across
+the Steward's entire response, so ordinary English in the `REASON:` line selected
+agents — "description" contains the housekeeper domain "script", "acknowledge"
+contains "knowledge" and "know".
+
+That made **prose length a routing input**. Benchmarking against it would have
+shown `think: false` improving routing purely because shorter output produces
+fewer accidental substring hits — a thinking policy derived from a parsing
+artefact. The `adversarial` fixture group is regression coverage for exactly this.
+
+## If this is revisited
+
+The constraint is the single 11 GB card, not the model. A second inference host
+(*forge*) removes it entirely, and e4b's 100% routing becomes reachable without
+evicting anything. Re-run then; on this card the answer is settled.
+
+`scripts/benchmark_routing.py` takes `--models`, `--think` and `--repeats`, and
+restores GPU residency on exit — including on SIGTERM, which the first version
+did not.

+"""
+Benchmark Steward routing quality against model and thinking settings.
+
+Talks to Ollama directly. No Tatlock server, no agents, no tools, nothing is
+executed — the mutating fixtures ("turn on the lights", "update the wiki") only
+ever produce a routing decision. That makes this cheap and repeatable, and it
+isolates the question: does the Steward still pick the right capabilities when
+the model reasons less?
+
+The request body is byte-identical to StewardAgent._call_ollama, plus the
+`think` flag under test, so a cell labelled `unset` is exactly what production
+sends today.
+
+Three thinking settings, because "on vs off" hides the interesting case:
+
+    unset   what production sends now. gemma4 reasons by default, and the
+            response carries no `thinking` field, so those tokens are generated
+            and discarded.
+    true    reasoning requested explicitly and returned in `thinking`.
+    false   reasoning suppressed.
+
+Scoring is deliberately asymmetric. A missing capability under-routes and the
+Butler answers without a tool it needed; a spurious one over-routes, and that is
+a real agent call — a stray librarian is a multi-second web search on a query
+that asked for arithmetic. Over-routing is the predicted failure when thinking
+is off, so `forbid` violations are reported separately rather than folded into
+one accuracy number.

+Labelled queries for the Steward routing benchmark.
+
+Each fixture carries both `expect` and `forbid`:
+
+  expect   capabilities that must appear. Missing one is under-routing — the
+           Butler answers without a tool it needed.
+  forbid   capabilities that must not appear. Over-routing is not cosmetic: a
+           spurious librarian is a real multi-second web call, and a spurious
+           housekeeper can actuate hardware.
+
+`forbid` matters more than `expect` here, because over-recommendation is the
+predicted failure when model thinking is disabled and the Steward has less room
+to discriminate.
+
+The `adversarial` group deserves explanation. Until 2026-08-08 the extractor
+substring-matched capability *domains* across the Steward's whole response, so
+ordinary English in its REASON line selected agents: "description" contains the
+housekeeper domain "script", "acknowledge" contains "knowledge" and "know",
+"economy" contains the biographer domain "my". Those queries invite exactly that
+vocabulary. They now serve as an end-to-end regression: routing must depend on
+what the Steward *decided*, not on the words it happened to use while explaining.
+
+Expectations follow the routing rules stated in the Steward prompt itself
+(src/agents/steward/agent.py), not on what a capability could plausibly cover.
