DGR-020: Run the controlled whole-model GGUF baseline

Status / triage: completed; passes: true
Execution mode: HITL
Milestone: M0
Dependencies: DGR-019
Blocks (derived): DGR-054
Labels: area:performance, type:benchmark, priority:p0, gate:hitl, ready-for-human
Evidence class: real-hardware
Hardware: required
Model: generic
Upstream: no

Objective / description

Fresh Ralph session: read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md, source issue .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/issues/020-run-the-controlled-whole-model-gguf-baseline.md, and evidence READMEs for dependencies (DGR-019) before changing code. Inspect live source/tests rather than trusting legacy pass states. Objective: Execute the locked safetensors and whole-model llama.cpp lanes before distributed implementation results can influence the decision.

Acceptance criteria

Run the exact DGR-019 safetensors and whole-model llama.cpp benchmark lanes with locked prompts, lengths, sampling, concurrency, hardware, and artifact/runtime identities.
Record raw machine-readable correctness, TTFT, prefill/decode, throughput, latency, memory, artifact-size, failure, and quality-drift metrics without ingesting distributed implementation results.
Separate quantization/model-fit effects from runtime/kernel effects and preserve failed or unavailable lanes honestly.
Publish a threshold-based go, optimize baseline, or stop decision without changing the locked contract.
Applicable shared quality gates in prd.json pass, and the evidence handoff records exact commands/results, changed files, limitations, and dependency handoff.

Shared quality gates

Targeted deterministic tests pass; Python changes also pass python -m compileall packages tests.
git diff --check passes.
Default tests are model-download-free, API-credit-free, and GPU-free.
Evidence README records exact changed files, commands/results, limitations, and dependency handoff; no fabricated evidence or inherited completion credit.

Evidence handoff

Verified evidence: .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-020/README.md. Legacy evidence remains provenance only and grants no implementation completion credit.
