The cap bounds worst-case generation to ~5 min. Do NOT remove `-n` without a replacement ceiling. Sustained load hits ~84°C even at 92s; the APU is fanless/low-flow.

 ### Rule 13: API Key Injection — Two Patterns (UPDATED 2026-07-16, WAL #1300)
 
+### Rule 14: Hermes Context Detection Uses `max_model_tokens`, NOT `max_input_tokens`
+
+**CRITICAL**: Hermes context detection reads `max_model_tokens` (128K), NOT `max_input_tokens` (64K cap).
+
+- **Abiba and Hermes agents**: `max_model_tokens: 131072` (128K) — unlimited context
+- **Crewmates (ops, tune, verify, auth-keys, build)**: `max_input_tokens: 64000` (64K) — capped
+- If you see `max_input_tokens: 64000` in an Abiba/Hermes config, that's a mistake
+- Using `max_input_tokens` for Hermes agents causes premature context loss
+- Check: `grep -n 'max_model_tokens\|max_input_tokens' ~/.hermes/config.yaml`
+- Expected output: `max_model_tokens: 131072` (not max_input_tokens)

 Agents inject `LITELLM_API_KEY` via ONE of two mechanisms. Both are valid; the contract
 requirement is that the key is a **valid LiteLLM virtual key** (HTTP 200 on /v1/models).

-(Ref: See Rule 10 for default model behavior, with Koby exception)
-
-Koby uses a split-model architecture:
-
-- Primary Model: `deepseek-v4-flash` via `api.deepseek.com` (for reasoning)
-- Auxiliary Models: `gpu-light` (vision/web_extract) and `syslog-auto` (compression)
-- Key Hygiene: `api_key_env` is strictly `LITELLM_API_KEY` or `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`
-- Constraint: Do NOT touch Koby's primary model/provider/compression settings unless explicitly ruled by the captain.

+### Phase 1: GPU Exporters
+
+**NVIDIA (.8 and .110)**:
+1. Download `nvidia_gpu_exporter` binary
+2. Create systemd service `nvidia-gpu-exporter.service`
+3. Start and enable
+
+**AMD (.15)**:
+1. Create Python exporter script at `/opt/amdgpu-exporter/exporter.py`
+2. Parses `amdgpu_top --json -d 1000` output
+3. Exposes key metrics at `:9400/metrics` via Python http.server
+4. Create systemd service
+5. Start and enable
+
+### Phase 2: Prometheus
+
+1. Create `/opt/monitoring/` directory on CT 116
+2. Write `prometheus.yml` with scrape configs for all targets
+3. Add to docker-compose (or separate compose file)
+4. Start container
+
+### Phase 3: Grafana
+
+1. Create `/opt/monitoring/grafana/` directories
+2. Provision Prometheus datasource
+3. Provision GPU fleet dashboard JSON
+4. Provision LiteLLM dashboard JSON
+5. Add to docker-compose
+6. Start container
+
+### Phase 4: Verification
+
+1. Verify all 3 GPU exporters return 200 at :9400/metrics
+2. Verify Prometheus targets all UP at :9090/targets
+3. Verify Grafana accessible at :3001 with dashboards
+4. Verify LiteLLM metrics flowing to Prometheus
+5. ~~Update nginx to proxy `/monitoring/` → Grafana~~ (NOT recommended — nginx sub-path was tried for /grafana/ and reverted per proxmox-monitor; direct :3001 access is the standard)
