feat(llm): swap astro-orbiter primary model Qwen3.6 -> Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M

Ryan-directed model swap (kanban t_f5f7e9ad, 2026-08-16).

Changes:
- Replace [Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S] with [Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M] in
  llama-server-router-preset.ini.j2 (production model slot).
- Qwen3.8-27B: dense 27B VLM, Apache-2.0, Alibaba Aug 2026.
  Unsloth Dynamic V3.0 GGUF quantization.
  Q4_K_M chosen: 17,106,775,008 bytes, 17.1GB. Measured VRAM: 17,068 MiB
  at ctx=32768 (q4_0 KV cache).
- ctx-size set to 32768 (32K) via new variable llm_router_qwen38_ctx_size.
  Native context is 262K; 32K chosen to maintain eviction headroom on 24GB RTX 3090.
- models-max reduced 4 -> 2 in host_vars. Qwen3.8 (17.6GB) + nomic-embed
  (558MB) exhaust the 24GB card; no auxiliary model can co-reside with Qwen3.8.
  LRU eviction handles model switching with ~30-60s cold-load latency.
- llm_router_expected_model_id updated to Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M.
- Qwen3.6 GGUF retained at /opt/models/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S.gguf
  (not deleted — pending stable period and explicit cleanup task).
- day2_swap_qwen38.yml playbook added for Ansible idempotent redeployment.

Architecture note: Qwen3.8 uses Gated DeltaNet; llama.cpp 6ea215d logs
'fused Gated Delta Net (chunked) not supported, set to disabled'. Inference
works correctly on the non-fused fallback. A llama.cpp update may improve
throughput on the GDN layers.

Smoke test passed: model responded via router endpoint (http://10.1.71.130:8002).
VRAM: 17,630 MiB (Qwen3.8) + 5,928 MiB (Llama-8B concurrent) = 23,558 MiB.

Also commits accumulated but unpushed changes:
- nomic-embed batch-size/rope-scaling fix (t_openviking_embed_batch)
- per-model ctx-size day2 playbook (day2_per_model_ctx_size.yml)
- llama-server-router.service.j2 minor update

# FILE: playbooks/day2_per_model_ctx_size.yml
# DESCRIPTION: Right-size --ctx-size per model workload on llama-server-router
# (already in --models-preset mode since t_9adf0889).
#
# Context (t_ryan_per_model_ctx, 2026-08-13, requested by Ryan via JARVIS):
# All 3 preset models currently launch with a uniform --ctx-size 65536.
# This playbook narrows two of them to match actual workload:
# - Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M (alias Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-4bit):
# ctx-size 65536 -> 8192 (tool-routing / micro-tasks: title gen, MCP
# tool calls, approval checks)
# - Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-Q8_0 (alias Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-8bit):
# ctx-size 65536 -> 32768 (long web scrapes / session-log compression)
# Both also move flash-attn from "auto" to explicit "true" per Ryan's spec.
# Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S is INTENTIONALLY left untouched at 65536/auto.
#
# Existing aliases (Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-4bit, Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-8bit)
# are PRESERVED as-is. Ryan's pasted TOML used different alias strings
# ("llama-3.1-8b", "phi-3.5-mini") but renaming aliases was not explicitly
# requested and would break live Hermes custom_providers routing — flagged
# in the deployment report rather than applied silently.
#
# IMPORTANT — Hermes side effect: /home/hermes/.hermes/config.yaml declares
# context_length: 65536 for both these models under custom_providers. This
# playbook does NOT touch that file (out of role/agent scope) but the value
# becomes STALE the moment this playbook lands. Flag to JARVIS/Maria Hill.

# Usage (from ~/git/homelab/ansible):
# ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbooks/day2_per_model_ctx_size.yml

# Playbook: day2_swap_qwen38.yml
# Purpose: Swap the primary production model on astro-orbiter router from
# Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S to Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M.
# This is a GitOps-encoded record of the swap performed 2026-08-16
# per Ryan's direction (kanban task t_f5f7e9ad).
#
# What this playbook does:
# 1. Renders the updated llama-server-router-preset.ini.j2 to
# /opt/llama-server-router-preset.ini on astro-orbiter.
# 2. Reloads the llama-server-router service (SIGHUP / restart as needed).
# 3. Verifies the new model ID appears in /v1/models.
#
# Prerequisites:
# - Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M.gguf must be present in /opt/models on astro-orbiter.
# (Downloaded out-of-band via wget during the swap task.)
# - roles/llm-inference-multimodel/defaults/main.yml updated to reference
# Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M (done in this same commit).

# Run:
# env -u ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE ansible-playbook \

; Ryan-directed swap. Qwen3.8-27B is a dense 27B VLM (Apache-2.0) from Alibaba,
; released Aug 2026. GGUF quantized by Unsloth Dynamic V3.0 (preview).
; Q4_K_M chosen: 17.1GB weights — fits RTX 3090 (24GB) with ~7GB headroom for
; KV cache at ctx=65536 (q4_0 KV). Smaller than prior Qwen3.6 at ~20GB.
; Native context: 262,144 tokens. Running at 65536 (Hermes floor) for now;
; can be raised later if needed.
; VRAM footprint (measured 2026-08-16): 17,068 MiB at ctx=32768 with q4_0 KV;
; 17,804 MiB at ctx=65536. Using 32768 (32K) to give more eviction headroom
; on the 24GB RTX 3090 (nomic-embed 558MB always resident; total ~17.6GB).
; Native context is 262,144 tokens; 32K is sufficient for Hermes usage.
; Architecture note: Qwen3.8 uses Gated DeltaNet; llama.cpp 6ea215d logs
; "fused Gated Delta Net (chunked) not supported, set to disabled" — falls
; back to non-fused implementation. Inference works correctly but may be
; slower on the GDN layers. An updated llama.cpp may improve throughput.
; load-on-startup NOT set (loads on first request, ~30-60s cold load).
; With models-max=2 in host_vars, nomic-embed occupies slot 1 (pinned),
; and the generative slot (slot 2) is Qwen3.8 on first request. Auxiliary
; models (Phi, Llama, Coder) evict Qwen3.8 when requested; Qwen3.8 evicts
; them in turn. One cold-load (~30-60s) per switch between Qwen3.8 and
; auxiliary models is expected and acceptable. In practice, once Hermes

; FIXED (2026-08-14, t_openviking_embed_batch): the original section omitted
; batch-size/ubatch-size, so llama-server defaulted the PHYSICAL batch
; (ubatch-size) to 512 tokens. For embedding requests llama.cpp cannot split
; a single input across ubatches, so any OpenViking chunk over ~512 tokens
; large chunk over ~512 tokens (observed 2000-3400 tokens/chunk) failed hard with "input (N tokens) is too
; large to process. increase the physical batch size (current batch size:
; 512)". This tripped OpenViking's circuit breaker into an infinite
; fail/re-enqueue loop. Fix: set batch-size/ubatch-size to 4096 (comfortably
; over the observed max chunk size and under ctx-size=8192).
;
; FOLLOW-UP FINDING (2026-08-14, same task): after the batch-size fix landed,
; logs showed a SECOND, separate problem: llama.cpp capped the effective
; context to 2048 regardless of ctx-size=8192 ("n_ctx_seq (8192) > n_ctx_train
; (2048)" / "capping"). This is expected per the nomic-embed-text-v1.5-GGUF
; model card: the base GGUF's native RoPE training context is 2048; the
; original HF model reaches its benchmarked 8192-token context via Dynamic
; NTK-Aware RoPE scaling, which llama.cpp does not implement — so llama.cpp
; defaults to 2048 unless YaRN scaling is explicitly requested. Model card
; prescribes: --rope-scaling yarn --rope-freq-scale 0.75 alongside -c 8192.
; Added rope-scaling/rope-freq-scale below to actually reach 8192.
