 ## Docker image builds
 
+**All node operations go through `sm121` commands** — `serve` (with
+`--build-node`), `stop`, `logs`, `health`, `bench`. Do NOT `scp` + `bash
+build.sh` or `docker run/stop` over raw SSH: the launcher owns the upload,
+the tmux build session, the checksum label, the label-based container
+management, and the stop-wait verification. Raw SSH/docker is allowed only
+for one-off diagnostics the launcher cannot express (hung-worker `docker
+rm -f` by name, log forensics) — and those get noted in the shift history.
+
 A recipe's `docker_image` is built on demand from `docker-images/<docker_image_dir>/`
 (default `<dir>` = recipe name). `sm121 serve --build-node <n>` (or the
 standalone `sm121 build`) uploads the dir to a node, runs `bash build.sh` in a

+## r18 16 GiB 4x boot-verify (2026-09-08) — PASSED (capacity-only, no re-bench)
+
+Queue item closed. `glm53-flash-nvfp4-r18-4x-dcp4` (KV pin 16 GiB,
+`--kv-cache-memory-bytes 17179869184`) boots clean on 4nodes-switch in
+~6 min: 47.48 GiB weights/node, **GPU KV cache 7,738,490 tokens** (≈ the
+expected 7.7M @ 16 GiB DCP4 — exact hit), CUDA graphs captured, API live,
+completion generating. No OOM, no re-bench (quality 161/176 already
+recorded 09-06). Stale "10 GiB" comments in the four r18-4x* recipes
+corrected. AGENTS.md gained the "all node operations via sm121 commands"
+rule (raw ssh/docker only for one-off diagnostics).

+`62f6385c` (tree `6361a741`) — 13 commits over the r27 pin, 29 files,
+**zero requirements/cmake changes** (GitHub compare API), so the r27 image
+tree's dep gates hold. Content: prefill/decode compute-time sharing +
+interleaved bounded parallel prefills (the admission-block pain from the
+agent-serving findings), chat-template rendering parity (instruction
+checkpoints), GLM boundary restore across DCP/DFlash groups, partial
+prefix-cache hits. b12x unchanged (e8ad299b, RoCEnante already in).
+
+New recipe `glm53-flash-r28-4x-dcp4`: clone of the r27 4x-dcp4 recipe
+(160/176, 46.8/62.4 t/s) with `[build.versions]` overriding
+`VLLM_PIN`/`VLLM_TREE`/`VLLM_PRETEND_VERSION` — same build dir
+(`glm53-jovian-r27`), distinct image tag `glm53-jovian-r28:local`,
+override folds into the build checksum (separate image, no r27 rebuild).
+A/B target: r27 4x DCP4 160/176 + 46.8 t/s; 2x (162/176, 27.4 t/s) after
+the 4x verdict.
