+Ops notes (new capabilities added to the launcher for entrypoint-driven
+images): recipe `model = ""` now skips the positional model (image's own
+entrypoint selects it via MODEL_PATH env); docker path now injects
+NODE_RANK + MASTER_ADDR env (their launcher requires them; CLI flags go
+through `"$@"` and win for the standard flags). First boot failed with
+PP=2 (launcher default pp=nnodes) → the ds4-vision fork asserts
+TP×PP against device count → recipe pins `pipeline_parallel_size = 1`.

+#
+# Image: aidendle94/sparkrun-vllm-ds4-gb10:production-3.73-vision (Docker Hub,
+# arm64, pushed 2026-09-06). The "vision" aiden line: their pinned
+# serve-ds4-flash-spark.sh launcher (env-driven; ds4-vision 0.20 branch)
+# wraps a compiled vLLM wheel (B12X MLA sparse attention, b12x MoE/linear,
+# instanttensor load, FULL_AND_PIECEWISE cudagraphs, async scheduling,
+# deepseek_v4 tokenizer/tool/reasoning parsers).
+#
+# Model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp (157 GB, 78.5 GiB/node at
+# 2x; cached in the NAS hub at snapshot 6821d6ad). Their launcher resolves
+# the model from the MODEL_PATH / MODEL_REVISION_OVERRIDE env vars, so this
+# recipe leaves `model` EMPTY — the launcher skips the positional model for
+# entrypoint-driven images (added capability, see AGENTS.md).
+#
+# Launcher env contract (read from the image's /opt/vllm-src/serve-ds4-
+# flash-spark.sh): requires NODE_RANK, MASTER_ADDR, VLLM_HOST_IP,
+# NCCL_IB_HCA, NCCL_IB_GID_INDEX, NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME, GLOO_SOCKET_IFNAME,
+# UCX_NET_DEVICES, TP_SOCKET_IFNAME (all injected by the sm121 docker path;
+# NODE_RANK/MASTER_ADDR as env since their launcher doesn't parse them as
+# CLI flags). Defaults used here: TP=2, no spec (MTP/DSpark both off),
+# GMU 0.80, KV cap 24.4 GiB (SPARK_KV_CACHE_MEMORY_BYTES), max-model-len
+# 500K, max-num-seqs 4, max-num-batched-tokens 8192, B12X_MLA_SPARSE
+# attention, prefix caching on, flashinfer autotune on.
