✓ Rename junk-rig → Tersler in the repo: commands tersler-*, services tersler-*, /opt/tersler, /etc/tersler, install/tersler.conf, image hostname (2026-11-10)
✓ Migrate the rig: ~/tersler, sudo ~/tersler/install/rename-from-junk-rig.sh (2026-11-10, done)
Afterwards: clients and SSH config from junk-rig.local / 10.6.67.113 to tersler.local; delete ~/junk-rig on the rig; optionally rename this PC's checkout ~/src/junk-rig
Replacement CPU (IT-Hardware Möhling, ordered): check the underside, then test A1 + D1; if channel D works, move to one stick per channel (A1/B1/C1/D1) and rerun the bandwidth and Strata speed tests
✓ Strata: image input (strata-vision + ISTA mmproj) and 262k context
Agent tests at 262k with a long (>131k) conversation
lean_bench: a "with Python" track (sandboxed run_python tool) next to the thinking-only score
Opus reference run, thinking only, via claude -p --tools "" on the Team plan (needs claude → /login)

Measure plug_zone, x_off/y_off, case_dx/case_dy and the free wall area (hardware-notes.md)
Print shroud/p100_front_duct.scad (duct card-end down + wall plate); 4× M4×50 + 4 nuts, foam tape
How is the old 92 mm fan held? The plate expects screws from outside into 3.4 mm pilot holes (max. wall + 8 mm long)

Measure both P100s: card_h, card_t, cooler gap, and any holes, tabs or bracket on the tail end (hardware-notes.md)
Put the values into shroud/p100_shroud.scad, check with cutaway = true, export the STL
Test-print a thin slice of the sleeve (set trans_len/flange small) to check the fit on the card tails before the full print
Print the shroud in PETG/ASA, sleeve opening on the bed, no supports
Fit the fan: 4× M4 × 45 + nuts; line the sleeve with foam tape

4× M4 × 45 bolts + nuts, foam tape, filament
Thermal paste (if the cooler has none), C13 power cord
Open-frame mount: standoffs + a board or plate; a support strut for the fan/shroud

Build the disk image: image/build-image.sh, then dd it to the SSD (image/README.md)
✓ Run scripts/check-updates.sh: the fork is at 83a7f0839, 29 own commits past d90ec36a3 (changelog)
Plan: first bring-up on the pinned d90ec36a3 (reproduce the video's numbers), then build + bench the head
✓ Pick the model, a Qwen3.8-27B Q6_K GGUF with the MTP head:
- Set MODEL_URL (+ MODEL_SHA256, MODEL_HF_REPO) in install/tersler.local.conf (copy from tersler.local.conf.example)
- Optionally pre-download it (~22 GB) to a USB disk to save time later
Optional dry run of the installer in an Ubuntu 24.04 container or VM. The base, cuda and build stages need no GPU, so this tests the fork's build with our flags:
```
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD":/tersler ubuntu:24.04 bash -c \
  'apt-get update && apt-get install -y sudo curl && cd /tersler && \
   ./install/install.sh base cuda build'
```
(stage_base needs linux-headers-$(uname -r), which may not exist in a container. Drop it there if it fails.)
Get nvflash ready on the USB stick (fallback only, if Above 4G Decoding isn't enough), from a trustworthy source

Inspect the board (bent socket pins!) and keep the PnP cap (ASUS RMA needs it)
CPU + cooler + 16 GB in A1, PSU, onboard VGA, no GPUs yet. Does it POST?
Later: 3× 16 GB DDR4 RDIMM 2Rx4 (same type as the one in A1) into B1/C1/D1, then memtest86+ one pass
Note the BIOS version (later updates need a working v3 CPU, which we have)
BIOS: Above 4G Decoding = Enabled; VT-d stays enabled; set the fan headers (CPU_FAN1)
Boot from the SSD (the image from image/), then ssh tersler.local

Power off. P100 #1 into PCIE6, P100 #2 into PCIE4; PCIE3/PCIE5 stay empty
Power: native EPS → P100 #1, the card's Y-adapter (both legs) → P100 #2
Shroud + fan on, the fan at full speed for now
Boot. If it's black or loops: BAR1 fallback

The repo is already in ~/tersler (from the image); pull any later changes over
✓ sudo ./install/install.sh → reboot when told → sudo ./install/install.sh again (resumes)
✓ sudo ./install/install.sh verify: driver 580, BAR1 16 GB each, x16 links, P2P OK, iommu=pt
✓ sudo systemctl start tersler-llama, then journalctl -u tersler-llama -f

✓ tersler-bench, record the result in docs/changelog.md. Target ≈ the video's 66.7 / 49.2 tok/s
✓ Thermals: sustained load < ~75 °C (20 min: max 55/63 °C, fan pwm ≤177, cardboard duct; tersler-loadtest)
✓ Fan control: tersler-fan-control --discover → --test chip/pwmN → set FAN_* and FAN_CONTROL=1, then rerun install.sh config services
Try GPU_POWER_LIMIT 125/150/175 and write the results down
Try P2P on vs off (LLAMA_P2P=0)
Optional: try Kindi's ternary 27B with the same prompts, mainly for long context and agent use (research.md)
