# Watch NVIDIA/flare-local-inference upstream.
#
# FLARE moves several times a day (12+ commits in one night), and our clones,
# the per-host agent binaries and the prepared packages all have to agree with
# it: the RoCE proxy ABI is pinned in the repo, the model recipes change, and a
# package prepared with one revision can be refused by another.
#
#   scripts/flare-upstream-watch.sh           # what changed since the pin
#   scripts/flare-upstream-watch.sh --bump    # move the pin to current HEAD
#
# The pin lives next to this file's spec (specs/tech-architecture/
# flare-upstream.pin) as a single line: <sha> <committer-date>.

Before re-running a FLARE experiment, pull and rebuild BOTH sides — the
per-host `flare` agent binaries and the prepared packages must come from the
same revision, or the runtime refuses (see the "proxy ABI" row in
specs/tech-architecture/flare-bringup.md).
