# DGR-034 evidence — dense-Llama range-aware GGUF ownership
**Status:** implemented and live-verified on 2026-08-01. `prd.json` remains
the authority for story state.
## What changed
- The pinned llama.cpp patch stack adds `meshnet_owned_layer_start/end` and
filters dense-Llama GGUF registration to `blk.N.*` for the requested
half-open range. `token_embd.weight` belongs to the head; `output_norm` and
`output.weight` (or the tied embedding) belong to the tail.
- The load state exposes a C range report derived from the registered model
buffers, and a project-owned `meshnet-range-report` tool audits the live
registered tensor map. It rejects empty, inverted, out-of-model, missing,
outside-range, unexpected, and endpoint-inconsistent loads.
- `meshnet_node.range_report` accepts only audited tool output. It makes the
range and endpoint flags authoritative from loaded state rather than caller
assertions, and fails closed on malformed ownership or byte counts.
## Real-model memory evidence
Artifact: `Magistral-Small-2509-Q4_K_M.gguf`, 14,333,911,104 bytes, SHA-256
`a17a113480e7f55780ad1d100493c70ac158d1943e578bbdd75acef0872ab7dc`.
It stayed on the configured mounted drive; no artifact was downloaded or put
under `/home`.
The direct non-mmap lane proves resident storage tracks owned tensors:
| Range | Registered tensors | Resident bytes | Process peak RSS |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| `[10, 20)` | 90 | 3,304,898,560 | 3,298,800 KiB |
| `[0, 40)` | 363 | 14,326,026,240 | 14,061,632 KiB |
Raw reports and timings are in `runs/default-mid-a.*` and
`runs/default-full-nommap.*`. The middle range is 23.1% of the full
resident allocation and owns 24.8% of the registered tensors.
## Commands and results
```text
python3 scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py reverse --source-dir build/llama.cpp/source
python3 scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py verify --workspace build/llama.cpp
python3 scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py apply --source-dir build/llama.cpp/source

# the source was then applied for the focused native checks.

python3 scripts/ralph_prd_schema.py validate .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/prd.json
git diff --check && git diff --cached --check
# all exit 0; PRD validation: 55 stories validated
```
The model commands used the same `meshnet-range-report` binary with
`--no-mmap --no-extra-bufts`, first for `[10,20)` and then `[0,40)`; both
returned `ok: true` and their exact output is retained above.
## Changed files
- `packages/node/native/llama/PATCH-STACK.md`
- `packages/node/native/llama/UPSTREAM_LOCK.json`
- `packages/node/native/llama/patches/{series,SHA256SUMS,UPSTREAM-ASSUMPTIONS.json,0006-meshnet-range-report-tool.patch}`
- `packages/node/meshnet_node/range_report.py`
- `tests/test_range_report.py`
- `tests/test_meshnet_range_report_tool.py`
- `.scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-034/*`
## Limitations and dependency handoff
- The mmap loader can retain broad contiguous file spans when GGUF tensor
order places a tail endpoint near the beginning of the artifact; the direct
non-mmap lane is the certified resident-memory result. The raw mmap report
is retained in `runs/default-head.json` and must not be presented as a
physical-RSS saving.
- This story proves loading/ownership only. Partial-range graph execution
remains fail-closed until DGR-035 provides typed dense boundary adapters.
- DGR-037 can bind the worker to `llama_model_meshnet_range_report` or the
strict Python consumer; it must use the reported range, not requested range,
for capability publication. DGR-051 must add its V4-specific ownership
rules separately.
