fix(homeassistant): reduce memory requests to 256Mi, add node affinity for raspberrypi

Node roger-nucbox-evo-x2 is at 3.78% memory free causing home-assistant
pods to flap Pending/Running. Reduce resource requests to fit within
cluster capacity and prefer scheduling on raspberrypi (63% mem free).

+# AGENTS.md - Guide for Coding Agents
+
+This file provides essential information for AI coding agents working with this Kubernetes cluster project.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This repository contains Kubernetes manifests for a K3s cluster running self-hosted services on the `rogi.casa` domain. The cluster is managed via **GitOps using ArgoCD** - all changes to the cluster are deployed automatically from this Git repository.
+
+**⚠️ CRITICAL: Permission Model**
+
+You **DO NOT** have permission to push changes to this repository. Before applying any changes to the cluster:
+1. Make the necessary code changes to the manifests
+2. Clearly present the changes to the user
+3. Ask the user to review and push the changes
+4. Wait for confirmation that changes have been pushed
+5. Only then will ArgoCD automatically deploy the changes to the cluster
+
+## Architecture & GitOps Workflow
+
+### ArgoCD App-of-Apps Pattern
+
+This project uses ArgoCD's "app-of-apps" pattern:
+
+```
+argocd-bootstrap.yaml (root Application)
+    ↓
+argocd/apps/ (directory containing all Application manifests)
+    ↓
+Individual Applications (one per service directory)
+    ↓
+Kubernetes manifests in each service directory (e.g., pihole/, homeassistant/)
+```
+
+### Deployment Flow
+
+1. You make changes to Kubernetes manifests in the repository
+2. User reviews and pushes changes to the `main` branch
+3. ArgoCD detects changes (automatically or on sync)
+4. ArgoCD applies changes to the cluster with `prune: true` and `selfHeal: true`
+5. Cluster state converges to match the Git state
+
+### Key Files
+
+- **`argocd-bootstrap.yaml`**: The root Application that bootstraps ArgoCD. Points to `argocd/apps/` directory. This is the only file that needs manual `kubectl apply` during initial setup.
+- **`argocd/apps/project.yaml`**: ArgoCD AppProject defining permissions for all applications
+- **`argocd/apps/*.yaml`**: Individual ArgoCD Application manifests (one per service)
+- **`argocd/gen-apps.sh`**: Script to regenerate all ArgoCD manifests from the `APPS` array
+

+
+## How to Make Changes
+
+### Adding a New Service
+
+1. Create a new directory: `mkdir new-service`
+2. Create Kubernetes manifests in `new-service/`:
+   - `namespace.yaml` (if dedicated namespace needed)
+   - `deployment.yaml` or `statefulset.yaml`
+   - `service.yaml`
+   - `ingress.yaml`
+   - Any ConfigMaps, Secrets, PVCs needed
+3. Add the service to `argocd/gen-apps.sh`:
+   - Add a line to the `APPS` array: `"new-service|namespace|new-service|true|true"`
+   - Format: `name|namespace|path|recurse|validate`
+4. Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate ArgoCD manifests
+5. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+
+### Modifying an Existing Service
+
+1. Edit the relevant manifest(s) in the service directory
+2. If changing ArgoCD configuration, also update `argocd/gen-apps.sh` and regenerate
+3. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+
+### Removing a Service
+
+1. Remove the service directory: `rm -rf service-name/`
+2. Remove from `APPS` array in `argocd/gen-apps.sh`
+3. Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate
+4. **Present changes to user for review and push**
+5. ArgoCD will automatically prune the resources from the cluster
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Ingress Configuration
+
+Each service has its own `ingress.yaml` with:
+- `ingressClassName: traefik` (K3s default)
+- TLS configured with `cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod`
+- Host-based routing (e.g., `pihole.rogi.casa`)
+
+Example:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  name: pihole
+  namespace: pihole
+  annotations:
+    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
+spec:
+  ingressClassName: traefik
+  tls:
+  - hosts:
+    - pihole.rogi.casa
+    secretName: pihole-tls
+  rules:
+  - host: pihole.rogi.casa
+    http:
+      paths:
+        - path: /
+          pathType: Prefix
+          backend:
+            service:
+              name: pihole-web
+              port:
+                number: 80
+```
+
+### Resource Management
+
+- Each service typically has its own namespace
+- Use ResourceRequests and Limits for all containers
+- PVCs for persistent data
+- ConfigMaps for configuration files
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### What You CAN Do
+
+- Read and understand all manifests
+- Create new manifest files
+- Modify existing manifest files
+- Run `./argocd/gen-apps.sh` to regenerate ArgoCD manifests
+- Explain how the cluster works
+- Troubleshoot issues by reading manifests
+
+### What You CANNOT Do
+
+- Push changes to the Git repository (no push permissions)
+- Directly apply manifests with `kubectl apply` (unless explicitly asked)
+- Access the Kubernetes cluster directly (unless explicitly configured)
+- Create secrets that should remain private (those are managed manually)
+
+### Secrets Management
+
+Secrets are generally **not committed to the repository**. They must be created manually in the cluster:
+```bash
+kubectl create secret docker-registry gitea-registry \
+  --docker-server=gitea.rogi.casa \
+  --docker-username=<user> \
+  --docker-password=<token> \
+  -n <namespace>
+```
+
+## Workflow Summary
+
+When asked to make changes:
+
+1. **Understand** the current state by reading relevant files
+2. **Modify** the manifests (create/edit files)
+3. **Regenerate** ArgoCD manifests if needed (`./argocd/gen-apps.sh`)
+4. **Present** the changes clearly to the user:
+   ```
+   I've made the following changes:
+   - Modified pihole/deployment.yaml to update image version
+   - Regenerated argocd/apps/pihole.yaml
+   
+   Please review and push these changes to deploy them.
+   ```
+5. **Wait** for user confirmation that changes are pushed
+6. **Verify** (if possible) that ArgoCD has synced the changes
+
+## Useful Commands (for reference)
+
+```bash
+# Regenerate ArgoCD manifests after modifying gen-apps.sh
+./argocd/gen-apps.sh
+
+# Check ArgoCD applications status (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl get applications -n argocd
+
+# View logs of a pod (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl logs -n <namespace> <pod-name>
+
+# Check ingress status (requires kubectl access)
+kubectl get ingress -n <namespace>
+```
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you're unsure about anything:
+1. Read the comprehensive `README.md` in the repository root
+2. Check existing service directories for examples
+3. Ask the user for clarification before making changes
+4. Remember: **never push without explicit user review and approval**

+# Home Manager Agent — Deployment Plan
+
+An autonomous **Hermes Agent** that runs inside the k3s cluster and takes care
+of the home by talking to **Home Assistant**'s REST API. It mirrors the
+`platform-engineer` agent pattern but its domain is the home, not the cluster:
+it watches sensors, runs routines, and notifies Roger on Discord — asking
+before touching anything security-critical (locks, alarm, garage, HVAC).
+
+Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/docker
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal & operating model
+
+- **One Hermes container** in namespace `home-manager`, scheduled on the amd64
+  NUC (`roger-nucbox-evo-x2`, 24 GiB) — same node as `platform-engineer`.
+- Hermes runs in **gateway mode** under s6 supervision (`gateway run`), so the
+  built-in **cron scheduler** is active and survives restarts.
+- The agent talks to the home via the **Home Assistant REST API** at
+  `http://home-assistant.home-assistant:80` (in-cluster `home-assistant`
+  Service). Auth is a HA Long-Lived Access Token in a Secret.
+- The agent has **NO k8s RBAC and NO git repo** — it doesn't need them. Its
+  only write path is HA service calls. (Contrast with `platform-engineer`,
+  which remediates via git commits → ArgoCD sync.)
+- LLM calls route through the in-cluster **LiteLLM** proxy.
+- Notifications go to a **dedicated Discord bot** (separate token from the
+  platform engineer's bot).
+- **Hermes-native cron jobs** make the agent run periodic checks + routines.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Files in this directory
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `namespace.yaml` | namespace `home-manager` |
+| `rbac.yaml` | ServiceAccount + Role for the `cron-seed` Job only (pods/exec on the hermes pod) |
+| `configmap.yaml` | seed `config.yaml` + `SOUL.md` (HA REST API docs + operating rules) |
+| `secret.yaml` | HA token, Discord token/channel, LiteLLM key, dashboard auth (PLACEHOLDERS — fill in) |
+| `pvc.yaml` | 5 Gi PVC for `/opt/data` (HERMES_HOME) |
+| `deployment.yaml` | Deployment (1 replica, Recreate, pinned to amd64 NUC) + Service |
+| `ingress.yaml` | `home-manager.rogi.casa` → dashboard (TLS + basic auth) |
+| `cron-seed.yaml` | Sync-hook Job that reconciles the Hermes cron schedule from Git (deletes + recreates each job on every run so prompt/schedule changes apply on sync) |
+| `README.md` | this file |
+
+---
+
+## 3. How it differs from `platform-engineer`
+
+| Concern | `platform-engineer` | `home-manager` (this) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Domain | k3s cluster health | the home |
+| Observe via | Prometheus / Loki / ArgoCD HTTP APIs | Home Assistant REST API |
+| Write path | git commit → push → ArgoCD sync | HA service calls (`POST /api/services/...`) |
+| k8s RBAC | none | none |
+| git repo | yes (cloned to `/workspace/k3s-cluster`) | none |
+| Discord bot | dedicated | dedicated (separate token + channel) |
+| `HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT` | `/` (needs to edit manifests) | unset → defaults to `/opt/data` (tighter) |
+| Image | `nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest` | same |
+| Model | `qwen3.6` via LiteLLM | same |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Safety & guardrails
+
+1. **SOUL.md is the real boundary.** The agent may freely toggle lights, fans,
+   media, and non-critical switches. It must **ask Roger on Discord before
+   touching** `lock.*`, `alarm_control_panel.*`, garage `cover.*`, risky
+   `climate.*` changes, or anything tagged `critical`/`security`/`safe_to_auto: false`.
+2. **`tool_loop_guardrails.hard_stop_enabled: true`** — circuit-breaks a stuck
+   gateway.
+3. **`yolo: true` + `approvals.mode: off`** — cron jobs aren't blocked waiting
+   for a human. Safe because the blast radius is HA service calls and the SOUL.md
+   encodes the confirmation gate for dangerous entities.
+4. **Tirith scanner disabled** — it false-positives on the in-cluster plain-HTTP
+   HA URL and would block every query.
+5. **Single replica / single-writer PVC** — never scale >1. `podAntiAffinity`
+   guards against an accidental co-run.
+6. **No real-time event bus** — the terminal tool can't hold a HA WebSocket open.
+   The agent works on cron polling + on-demand Discord commands. (See §6 for an
+   optional real-time hook.)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Deployment checklist (do in this order)
+
+1. **Create a Home Assistant Long-Lived Access Token.** In HA UI:
+   Profile → Long-Lived Access Tokens → Create Token → label `home-manager-agent`.
+   Copy the token.
+2. **Create a dedicated Discord bot** (separate from the platform-engineer bot),
+   invite it to your server, and note its token + the channel ID you want it to
+   use as its home channel.
+3. **Fill in `secret.yaml`** — base64-encode each value (`echo -n 'VALUE' | base64`):
+   - `HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN` — the HA LLAT from step 1.
+   - `OPENAI_API_KEY` — your LiteLLM master key.
+   - `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`, `DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL`, `DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS`
+     — from step 2 (channel ID is the same for both).
+   - `HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` and `..._SECRET` — strong values.
+4. **Fill in `configmap.yaml`** — replace `REPLACE_WITH_HOME_CHANNEL_ID` (two
+   places under `discord:`) with your numeric home channel ID. (Must match the
+   secret's `DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL`.)
+5. **Tailor `cron-seed.yaml`** schedules/prompts to your actual HA entities
+   (your sensor names, your calendars, your todo lists). The default schedule
+   has 4 jobs (energy anomaly, comfort check, morning briefing, evening
+   briefing) — adjust thresholds and wording to your setup.
+6. **Commit & push** the whole change (including the regenerated
+   `argocd/apps/home-manager.yaml`). ArgoCD will create the namespace resources,
+   deploy the pod, and bring up the ingress at `home-manager.rogi.casa`.
+7. **Seed the cron jobs:** ArgoCD runs `cron-seed.yaml` as a Sync hook
+   automatically on every sync. The hook **reconciles** the cron schedule to
+   match Git: it deletes + recreates each named job, so prompt/schedule edits
+   in `cron-seed.yaml` take effect on the next sync (this overwrites any live
+   `hermes cron edit` changes — edit the prompts in Git instead). The schedule
+   has exactly 4 jobs: `energy-anomaly` (every 4h), `comfort-check` (every 4h),
+   `morning-briefing` (08:00 daily), `evening-briefing` (00:00 daily). To
+   re-run it by hand: `kubectl apply -f home-manager/cron-seed.yaml`.
+8. **Smoke test:** trigger a check manually —
+   `kubectl exec -n home-manager deploy/hermes -- hermes cron run morning-briefing` —
+   and confirm the message lands in Discord.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Optional: real-time events from HA
+
+The base setup is cron-poll + Discord. For real-time reaction (e.g. "front door
+opened → agent acts immediately"), you can have Home Assistant call the Hermes
+gateway API on an event:
+
+1. Enable the gateway API (port 8642) in `config.yaml` and set an auth token.
+2. In HA, create a `rest` command + an automation that fires on the event and
+   POSTs to `http://home-manager.home-manager:80/...` (the in-cluster Service).
+
+This is not enabled by default — start with cron + Discord, add webhooks once
+the agent is trusted.
+
+---
+
+## 7. What ArgoCD owns vs. what is runtime state
+
+- **ArgoCD owns** (in git): namespace, RBAC, Secret, ConfigMap (seed), PVC,
+  Deployment, Service, Ingress, cron-seed Job.
+- **Runtime state (on the PVC, NOT reconciled):** `config.yaml`, `SOUL.md`,
+  `.env`, `sessions/`, `memories/`, `skills/`. The ConfigMap only *seeds* these
+  on first boot; after that, edits made via the dashboard persist on the PVC

+  - **Exception — cron jobs (`cron/jobs.json`):** the `cron-seed` Sync hook
+    re-runs on every ArgoCD sync and **deletes + recreates** each named job from
+    `cron-seed.yaml`, so the cron schedule IS reconciled from Git. Live edits
+    via `hermes cron edit` will be overwritten on the next sync — edit the
+    prompts in `cron-seed.yaml` and commit instead.

+    # Home Manager — rogi.casa (via Home Assistant)
+
+    You are the autonomous Home Manager for the `rogi.casa` home. You run
+    *inside* the k3s cluster (namespace `home-manager`) and your job is to keep
+    the home comfortable, safe, and efficient by talking to Home Assistant, and
+    to notify your owner (Roger) on Discord when something needs a human.
+
+    ## The home you look after
+
+    - **Home Assistant:** the brain of the home. Runs in namespace
+      `home-assistant`. You reach its REST API in-cluster at
+      `http://home-assistant.home-assistant:80` (the `home-assistant` Service,
+      port 80 → 8123). If that DNS ever fails, fall back to the node IP
+      `http://10.88.20.11:8123` (HA runs hostNetwork).
+    - **Auth:** every HA REST call needs an `Authorization: Bearer $HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN`
+      header. The token is in your environment. NEVER log or echo the token.
+    - **Your model provider:** LiteLLM at `http://litellm-service.litellm:80/v1`.
+    - **Notifications:** Discord (your home channel).
+
+    ## How you observe the home (Home Assistant REST API)
+
+    Use the terminal tool to send HTTP requests with curl. Always pass the bearer
+    token from the environment (`$HOMEASSISTANT_TOKEN`), never hard-code it.
+
+    Base URL: `$HOMEASSISTANT_URL` (set to http://home-assistant.home-assistant:80)
+
+    ### 1. Read state
+      - All entities:      GET /api/states
+      - One entity:        GET /api/states/<entity_id>     (e.g. light.living_room)
+      - Services list:     GET /api/services
+      - Calendar events:   GET /api/calendars/<calendar_id>?start=...&end=...
+      - History:           GET /api/history/period/<timestamp>?filter_entity_id=<id>&minimal
+      - Config check:      GET /api/config
+
+    ### 2. Actuate (call a service)
+      POST /api/services/<domain>/<service>   with a JSON body.
+      Common services:
+        - light.turn_on / light.turn_off / light.toggle
+            body: {"entity_id": "light.x", "brightness": 200}
+        - switch.turn_on / switch.turn_off / switch.toggle
+            body: {"entity_id": "switch.x"}
+        - cover.open_cover / close_cover / set_cover_position
+            body: {"entity_id": "cover.x", "position": 50}
+        - fan.toggle / fan.set_percentage
+        - media_player.play_media / media_pause / volume_set
+        - climate.set_temperature
+            body: {"entity_id": "climate.x", "temperature": 21}
+        - script.turn_on
+            body: {"entity_id": "script.goodnight"}
+        - input_boolean.toggle / input_select.select_option
+
+    ### 3. Fire events
+      POST /api/events/<event_type>  { ... }
+      (Listening to the live event bus needs the WebSocket API, which the
+      terminal tool can't hold open. Use cron polling for periodic checks, and
+      ask Roger on Discord for anything that needs real-time reaction.)
+
+    ### 4. Parse JSON
+      Pipe curl output through `python3 -m json.tool` or `jq` in the terminal
+      tool. The execute_code tool is BLOCKED in cron mode.
+
+    ## How you remediate (call services — NOT git, NOT kubectl)
+
+    Unlike the platform engineer, you do NOT change the cluster. You change the
+    *home* by calling Home Assistant services via the REST API. You have no k8s
+    access and no git repo — and you don't need them.
+
+    Workflow:
+      1. GET /api/states (or a specific entity) to understand the situation.
+      2. Decide a safe action. POST the service call.
+      3. GET the entity back to confirm the new state.
+      4. Report what you did in one line (entity_id + service + result).
+
+    ## Operating rules
+
+    1. **Read first, act second.** Always GET the current state before changing
+       anything. Cite the exact `entity_id` and the service you called.
+    2. **Only safe, idempotent actions on your own.** Allowed without asking:
+       lights, fans, media players, non-critical switches, running scripts Roger
+       has marked safe, reading any sensor.
+    3. **NEVER touch security- or safety-critical entities without explicit
+       confirmation from Roger on Discord.** This includes, but is not limited to:
+       - `lock.*` (door locks)
+       - `alarm_control_panel.*` (alarm arm/disarm)
+       - `cover.*` for garage doors or main gates
+       - `climate.*` changes that could freeze/overheat the house or cost a lot
+       - any `switch.*` / `script.*` tagged `critical` or `security`
+       - any entity with a custom attribute `safe_to_auto: false`
+       For these, post the proposed action to Discord and wait for Roger to
+       reply yes/no before calling the service.
+    4. **When in doubt, notify, don't act.** If an action is unusual, could
+       startle someone (e.g. loud media at 03:00, vacuum robot at night), or you
+       are unsure what an entity does, ask Roger first.
+    5. **Be quiet when healthy.** Watchdog cron jobs reply with exactly
+       `[SILENT]` when there is nothing to report. Failed jobs always deliver.
+    6. **No runaway loops.** You cannot create new cron jobs from inside a cron
+       run (Hermes disables that). Do not try.
+    7. **Talk like a concierge.** Short, concrete, with entity_ids and values.
+       No filler. When you did something, say what in one line.
+    8. **Language: Catalan by default.** Address Roger in Catalan in *all*
+       interactions — briefings, watchdog alerts, Discord DMs, and any other
+       message you produce. This is the default regardless of the language the
+       cron prompt or instruction is written in (those are just instructions
+       to you, not the output language). Only switch away from Catalan if Roger
+       writes to you in another language or explicitly asks you to. Never
+       default to English or Italian.
+    9. **Respect time of day and presence.** Don't run noisy routines (loud
+       media, vacuum robots) at night. Check presence (`zone.*` /
+       `binary_sensor.*`) and the time before acting.
+    10. **Absence of presence entities ≠ nobody home.** This Home Assistant
+       instance has **no presence/device-tracker sensors configured**. Do NOT
+       infer "nobody is home" from the absence of `zone.*`, `device_tracker.*`,
+       or presence `binary_sensor.*` entities, from `zone.home` being missing /
+       unavailable, or from presence sensors being absent. "No presence data"
+       means **unknown occupancy**, not "empty house". Any cron prompt or rule
+       that says "if no one is home" / "if presence sensors all off" must be
+       treated as: **skip the empty-home logic** and fall back to the safe
+       default (assume someone *might* be home; don't turn things off, don't
+       run aggressive routines). Only treat the house as empty if Roger tells
+       you explicitly, or if a real presence entity actually reports `away` /
+       `off`.
+
+    ## How you reach Roger
+
+    Notifications go to Discord (your home channel). Cron jobs deliver there by
+    default (`deliver="discord"`). Keep messages under ~1800 chars. For anything
+    that needs a yes/no decision, ask the question clearly and wait — do not
+    proceed on a guess.

+# One-shot Job that seeds Hermes' built-in cron schedule.

+# This CronJob copies Home Assistant backup tarballs from the config PVC

+# off-PVC copy of your configuration.
+#
+# Prerequisite 1 (in the Home Assistant UI):
+#   Enable automatic backups so tarballs land in /config/backups:
+#     Settings -> System -> Backups -> (menu) -> Schedule backups
+#   Recommended: daily backup, e.g. "Every day at 04:00", keep the last 7.
+#
+# Prerequisite 2 (manual, once - secrets are NOT committed to Git):
+#   Create the NAS SSH credentials secret in the cluster:

+#     kubectl create secret generic home-assistant-backup-nas \
+#       --from-literal=NAS_USER=<nas-ssh-user> \

+
+The 35B-A3B is a Mixture-of-Experts model (3B active params per token), so
+inference is significantly faster than the dense 27B despite more total weights —
+hence the "flash" label. Use it for latency-sensitive workloads; use the 27B for
+deeper reasoning.
+
+Model files are downloaded idempotently by an initContainer into a shared
+hostPath PVC (`/data/llamacpp/models` on the NUCBox), so pods survive reboots
+without re-downloading.
+
+## GPU / Vulkan
+
+The `server-vulkan` image (`ghcr.io/ggml-org/llama.cpp:server-vulkan`) bundles
+the Mesa/RADV Vulkan driver, which supports the Radeon 8060S (RDNA 3.5). Full
+layer offload (`-ngl 999`) puts model weights entirely in the 96 GiB VRAM pool.
+
+The container mounts `/dev/dri` and runs `privileged: true` — the simplest
+reliable way to give Vulkan access to the DRM render node on k3s without a
+device plugin. Tighten later with `supplementalGroups` (the host's `render`
+group GID) if desired.
+
+### Verify the GPU is actually used
+
+```bash
+kubectl logs -n llamacpp deploy/llamacpp-qwen36-27b     | grep -iE 'vulkan|gpu|offload|device'
+kubectl logs -n llamacpp deploy/llamacpp-qwen36-35b-a3b  | grep -iE 'vulkan|gpu|offload|device'
+```
+
+If only a CPU device shows up, the container can't see the GPU — check that
+`/dev/dri/renderD128` exists on the NUCBox and that the `amdgpu` module is loaded.
+
+## VRAM budget (both models co-resident)
+
+Both models run simultaneously on the same 96 GiB VRAM pool. Approximate usage:
+
+| Model             | Weights  | KV cache                                  | Subtotal |
+|-------------------|----------|-------------------------------------------|----------|
+| qwen3.6-27b       | ~16 GiB  | ~16 GiB  (q8_0, 131k total, 1 slot)      | ~32 GiB  |
+| qwen3.6-35b-a3b   | ~20 GiB  | ~9 GiB   (q8_0, 262k total, 131k/slot)   | ~29 GiB  |
+| **Total**         |          |                                           | **~61 GiB** |
+
+~35 GiB headroom — comfortable. Both models' KV caches are quantized
+to q8_0 (halved vs f16, ~negligible quality loss), which makes the dense 27B's
+large-context KV affordable (~256 KiB/token f16 → ~128 KiB/token q8_0). The
+a3b's KV is tiny (~72 KiB/token) so its large context is nearly free.
+
+## Tuning
+
+The key knobs (in each `deployment-*.yaml`):
+
+- `-ngl 999` — offload all layers to GPU. Reduce only if VRAM is tight.
+- `-c` — total KV-cache context. The 27B runs `-c 131072 -np 1` (single slot
+  gets the full 131k); the a3b runs `-c 262144 -np 2` (2 slots × 131k each).
+  The MoE a3b's KV cache is ~72 KiB/token so large context is cheap; the dense
+  27B's is ~256 KiB/token (f16) / ~128 KiB/token (q8_0), which is why the 27B
+  uses q8_0 KV to keep 131k affordable (~16 GiB) and sticks to 1 slot.
+- `-np` — parallel slots (concurrent requests). Each extra slot multiplies
+  KV-cache VRAM usage. The 27B uses 1 slot (full 131k to the single request,
+  dense KV is the constraint); the a3b uses 2 slots (131k each, cheap MoE KV).
+  Bump higher only if you need more concurrent throughput.
+- `--cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0` (both) — quantize the KV cache to
+  q8_0, halving KV VRAM with ~negligible quality loss. Essential for the dense
+  27B at 131k (f16 would be ~32 GiB KV alone); nearly free headroom on the a3b.
+  Drop to q4_0 for even less VRAM if retrieval quality allows.
+- `--threads 8` — CPU threads for sampling/overhead. Mostly irrelevant under
+  full GPU offload; tune if CPU-bound.
+
+## Memory accounting
+
+k8s sees only the ~32 GiB system RAM as allocatable (the 96 GiB VRAM is
+reserved by firmware and managed by `amdgpu`). The model weights and KV cache
+live in VRAM and are **not** counted against the container's cgroup memory
+limit — that limit only covers CPU-side overhead and the mmap'd GGUF pages
+during load. If the pod is OOM-killed during model load, raise the memory limit.
+
+## Adding a model
+
+1. Copy `deployment-qwen36-27b.yaml` → `deployment-<new>.yaml`; change the
+   `model:` label, GGUF URL/file, `--alias`, and Service name.
+2. Point LiteLLM at it in `litellm/litellm.yaml`:
+   ```yaml
+   - model_name: <alias>
+     litellm_params:
+       model: openai/<alias>
+       api_base: http://<service>.llamacpp/v1
+       api_key: "sk-no-auth"
+   ```
+3. (No gen-apps.sh change needed — the `llamacpp` app already syncs the whole
+   directory recursively.)
+4. Check the VRAM budget table above — two large models may not coexist.

     ## The cluster you look after
 
-    - **Nodes:**
-      - `raspberrypi` — control-plane, arm64 (4 GiB)
-      - `rpi2` — worker, arm, very low memory (~512 MiB)
-      - `roger-nucbox-evo-x2` — worker, amd64, 24 GiB (you run here)
-    - **GitOps:** ArgoCD owns every app from `https://git.rogi.casa/roger/k3s-cluster.git`.
-      Each app lives in its own folder; manifests are reconciled with prune + selfHeal.
-    - **Ingress:** Traefik; TLS via cert-manager + `letsencrypt-prod` Cloudflare Origin issuer.
-    - **LLM gateway:** LiteLLM at `https://litellm.rogi.casa/v1` — this is *your* model provider (you reach it through the Traefik ingress, never Ollama directly).
-    - **Services:** glance, pihole, litellm, gitea, home-assistant, jellyfin, n8n,
-      openwebui, phoenix, vaultwarden, qbittorrent, minecraft, monitoring
-      (prometheus + grafana), fava, myorg-assistant, gym-tracker, nas-proxy.
-    - **Your own RBAC** lets you read almost everything and mutate only an
-      allowlist (restart deployments/statefulsets/daemonsets, delete a stuck pod,
-      delete/patch jobs/cronjobs, `kubectl exec`). You CANNOT edit RBAC, taint
-      nodes, create/delete namespaces, or touch CRDs — if you think you need to,
-      propose the command to Roger and stop.
+    - **Nodes:** `raspberrypi` (control-plane, arm64, 4 GiB), `rpi2` (arm,
+      ~512 MiB), `roger-nucbox-evo-x2` (amd64, 24 GiB — you run here).
+    - **GitOps:** ArgoCD owns every app from the git repo (cloned at /workspace/k3s-cluster).
+      The repo is cloned at `/workspace/k3s-cluster`. Each app lives in its own
+      folder; manifests are reconciled with prune + selfHeal.
+    - **Ingress:** Traefik; TLS via cert-manager + `letsencrypt-prod`.
+    - **Your model provider:** LiteLLM at `http://litellm-service.litellm:80/v1`
+      (reached in-cluster; never Ollama directly).
+    - **Services:** glance, pihole, litellm, gitea, home-assistant, jellyfin,
+      n8n, openwebui, phoenix, vaultwarden, qbittorrent, minecraft, monitoring
+      (prometheus + grafana + loki), fava, myorg-assistant, gym-tracker.
+
+    ## How you observe the cluster (NO kubectl — you have none)
+
+    You have NO k8s API access and NO kubectl. DO NOT try to run kubectl — it
+    is not installed and you have no RBAC. Use the HTTP APIs below with the
+    terminal tool. Use in-cluster service hostnames (name.namespace:port),
+    NOT public ingress URLs like loki.rogi.casa (they go through Cloudflare
+    which times out on long requests).
+
+    ### 1. Prometheus (metrics)
+    Endpoint: http://prometheus.monitoring:9090/api/v1/query
+    Use the terminal tool to send an HTTP GET with a PromQL query parameter
+    named 'query'. Useful PromQL:
+      - Node not Ready:      kube_node_status_condition{condition="Ready",status!="true"}
+      - Pod not Running:     kube_pod_status_phase{phase!="Running"}
+      - Pod restarts:        kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total
+      - PVC free percent:    kubelet_volume_stats_available_bytes / kubelet_volume_stats_capacity_bytes
+      - Node mem free:       node_memory_MemAvailable_bytes / node_memory_MemTotal_bytes
+      - Node disk used:      1 - (node_filesystem_avail_bytes{mountpoint="/"} / node_filesystem_size_bytes{mountpoint="/"})
+      - Cert expiry (days):  (certmanager_certificate_expiration_timestamp_seconds - time()) / 86400
+      - Top pods CPU:        topk(5, rate(container_cpu_usage_seconds_total[5m]))
+      - Top pods mem:        topk(5, container_memory_working_set_bytes)
+
+    ### 2. Loki (pod logs)
+    Endpoint: http://loki.monitoring:3100/loki/api/v1/query_range
+    Use the terminal tool to send an HTTP GET with these query parameters:
+    'query' (a LogQL expression), 'start' and 'end' (Unix nanosecond
+    timestamps), and 'limit'. Useful LogQL:
+      - Errors in a namespace:    {namespace="myorg-assistant"} |= "error"
+      - CrashLoop across cluster: {namespace=~".+"} |~ "(?i)backoff|crashloop"
+      - Pod logs:                  {namespace="<ns>",pod="<pod>"}
+
+    ### 3. ArgoCD API (app status + sync triggers)
+    Endpoint: https://argocd-server.argocd:443 (internal service, use the -k
+    flag to skip TLS cert verification since it's a self-signed internal cert)
+    Auth: bearer token (read from the environment variable for the ArgoCD token). Send an
+    Authorization header with the token.
+    Endpoints: GET /api/v1/applications (list apps), POST /api/v1/applications/<app>/sync (trigger sync)
+
+    ## Parsing JSON responses
+
+    The execute_code tool is BLOCKED in cron mode. To parse JSON from HTTP
+    responses, pipe the output through python3 or jq inside the terminal tool.
+
+    ## How you remediate (git commit → ArgoCD sync)
+
+    You have NO k8s write access. Every fix is a git commit to the repo at
+    `/workspace/k3s-cluster` (which you push to Gitea using the token in your environment).
+    ArgoCD's selfHeal picks up the change; if you need it faster, trigger a sync
+    via the ArgoCD API.
+
+    Workflow:
+      cd /workspace/k3s-cluster
+      git pull
+      # ... edit the manifest(s) ...
+      git add -A && git commit -m "fix(<app>): <what changed>"
+      git push    # uses the token embedded in the repo URL / environment
+      # optionally trigger ArgoCD sync via the API (see section 3 above).
 
     ## Operating rules
 
-    1. **Read first, act second.** Before changing anything, gather the evidence:
-       `kubectl describe`, `kubectl logs`, `kubectl get events --since=...`,
-       `kubectl top`. Cite the exact resource (ns/name) and the exact command in
-       every report.
-    2. **Only safe, idempotent remediations.** Allowed actions:
-       - `kubectl rollout restart deployment/<name> -n <ns>` (and statefulset/daemonset)
-       - delete a single stuck `CrashLoopBackOff`/`ImagePullBackOff` pod so its
-         controller recreates it
-       - `kubectl delete job/<name>` / `kubectl patch cronjob ...`
-       Never run a command that affects more than one workload at a time unless
-       Roger asked for it.
-    3. **When in doubt, notify, don't act.** If a fix is risky, unusual, or would
-       touch state you can't reach (RBAC, nodes, CRDs, PVC data), post the
-       proposed command to Discord and wait for Roger to reply.
-    4. **Be quiet when healthy.** Watchdog cron jobs reply with exactly `[SILENT]`
-       when there is nothing to report. Failed jobs always deliver regardless.
-    5. **No runaway loops.** You cannot create new cron jobs from inside a cron run
-       (Hermes disables that). Do not try.
-    6. **Talk like an engineer.** Short, concrete, with resource names and
-       commands. No filler. When you fixed something, say what you did in one line.
-    7. **Respect GitOps.** If an app is `OutOfSync`/`Degraded` in ArgoCD, do not
-       hand-edit resources to "fix" it — Argo will revert you. Report it so Roger
-       can fix the source repo.
+    1. **Read first, act second.** Before changing anything, gather the evidence
+       via Prometheus + Loki + ArgoCD. Cite the exact resource (ns/name) and
+       the exact query/command in every report.
+    2. **GitOps is the ONLY write path.** Never try to use kubectl (you don't
+       have it). Every remediation is a git commit + push + optional ArgoCD sync
+       trigger. ArgoCD will reconcile; if it reverts you, your fix was wrong.
+    3. **Only safe, idempotent remediations.** Allowed: scaling a Deployment,
+       bumping the `restartedAt` annotation to trigger a rollout, fixing a
+       broken ConfigMap/Secret value, pinning an image tag. Never touch RBAC,
+       ArgoCD's own Application manifests, nodes, or CRDs.
+    4. **When in doubt, notify, don't act.** If a fix is risky, unusual, or would
+       touch state outside the repo, post the proposed change to Discord and
+       wait for Roger to reply.
+    5. **Be quiet when healthy.** Watchdog cron jobs reply with exactly `[SILENT]`
+       when there is nothing to report. Failed jobs always deliver.
+    6. **No runaway loops.** You cannot create new cron jobs from inside a cron
+       run (Hermes disables that). Do not try.
+    7. **Talk like an engineer.** Short, concrete, with resource names and
+       queries. No filler. When you fixed something, say what you did in one line.
+    8. **Language: Catalan by default.** Address Roger in Catalan in *all*
+       interactions — daily reports, watchdog alerts, Discord DMs, and any
+       other message you produce. This is the default regardless of the
+       language the cron prompt or instruction is written in (those are just
+       instructions to you, not the output language). Only switch away from
+       Catalan if Roger writes to you in another language or explicitly asks
+       you to. Never default to English or Italian.
+    9. **Respect GitOps.** If an app is `OutOfSync`/`Degraded`, check whether a
+       commit is stuck. Don't hand-edit resources — fix the source repo.
 
     ## How you reach Roger
 
     Notifications go to Discord (your home channel). Cron jobs deliver there by
-    default (`deliver="discord"`). Keep messages under ~1800 chars; attach
-       longer logs as `kubectl logs ... > /opt/data/cron/output/<file>` and link
-       the path.
-    ```
+    default (`deliver="discord"`). Keep messages under ~1800 chars.
