copilot has been commented out on every machine with "deliberately off". This
is what replaces it: minuet-ai in virtual-text mode against qwen3-coder-30b on
mainframe's 3060. Nothing leaves the LAN -- llm.rcjohnstone.com has no public
A record, uses the internal CA, and Caddy source-IP gates it.
⚠ Route is /v1/completions, NOT /infill. Measured through the proxy:
/v1/completions returns 200 with FIM tokens in a raw prompt, /infill is 404
because LiteLLM does not expose it. llama.vim wants /infill, which would mean
talking to llama-server directly and bypassing the virtual key -- and on the
work laptop that key IS the policy boundary making Anthropic and PRC models
403. Not worth routing around for an editor plugin.
⚠ max_tokens is 32 on purpose. Measured on the real path at 48: `def add` came
back with `sub` and `mul` attached, so most of the latency was spent generating
text that would be discarded. Stop tokens include a blank line for the same
reason.
⚠ Expect occasional multi-second pauses: llama-swap is -np 1 with a ttl, so a
completion after another model was used pays a full reload. ~10 s cold,
0.7-1.3 s warm, measured end to end through the work key. Accepted because
concurrent agentic work is not viable on this hardware anyway.
Virtual text rather than a cmp source because there is no completion engine
installed here, and ghost text is the copilot-shaped one. Silent no-op when
LITELLM_KEY_NVIM is unset, so the headless NAS is unaffected.
Replaces the previous repo, which had split into two histories that never
met (mainframe on a dead GitLab remote, the laptops on Gitea) with 146
dirty files across three machines and the NAS never enrolled at all.
Branch-per-machine is gone. One main, with host differences expressed as
small files under hosts/<hostname>/ rather than as branches, so there is
nothing to merge. The reconciled zsh layer reduces 15-33 line forks to
1-7 effective lines per host; distro differences (oh-my-zsh prefix,
syntax-highlighting path, fd vs fdfind) are probed in common/ instead.
Fresh history: the old one carried six plaintext credentials, 45 MB of
mail caches, browser caches and vendored binaries. 5,096 tracked files
and 144 MB become 462 files and 2.6 MB. The .gitignore is now an
allowlist, which is what keeps that true.
Root cause of the rot: ~/.local/bin was a symlink to scripts/ with GOPATH
inside it, so every go install wrote into version control (2.2 GB on the
work laptop). PATH now points at the repo instead of the reverse.
Also: Hyprland replaces sway and is sourced in two halves so $browser is
defined before use; singleton automations carry ConditionHost= alongside
host-layer-only placement; ddns moves from cron to a guarded timer;
package manifests and pkg-snapshot/pkg-restore replace the X11-era
install_scripts/; networkmanager-dmenu added to system76 (the binding
always existed, the package never did).
