The offload inventory grows a column, because "seven callers of the resident
model" stopped being the useful fact. Which of them is offloaded, and under
which half of the rule, is. Three are resident-only on purpose and the table
now says why rather than leaving it to be rediscovered.
The three-outcome table is the part that was not obvious from the rule as
written. A configured-and-asleep workstation names the gap; a box with no
workstation block does not, because naming a gap requires a gap.
Both fixtures, run from homesrv across the LAN with the proxy env stripped.
Routing: 84.4% full / 93.5% intent-only at p50 329ms through the cascade, against
72.7% / 77.9% at p50 0.80-1.04s for Qwen3-1.7B. Talk: 25/27 against 20/27, with
knowledge 9/9. Nudges 15/15. Settles #485's first assumption by measurement.

The remote model cannot be a llama-server that is simply left running: a
resident 7-14B holds 16GB against the CPT runs the card is for. So what
is always up on the workstation is a supervisor, and llama-server is
loaded while the card is free.
Still not a scheduler. It arbitrates nothing between callers, and Maven
never asks it to start anything.
483 is an umbrella and its children are the work, so what it owes them is
the shape they must all obey. docs/offload.md records it: the degradation
rule and where its line falls, admission control rather than a GPU
arbiter, the embedder staying on homesrv because it backs the classifier,
and the inventory of what runs a model on the box today.
CLAUDE.md gets a pointer, because an agent about to add a model caller or
touch a daemon seam needs to know this before it starts, not after.
