DGR-071: Establish upstream pin, patch, and certification maintenance

Status / triage: specification only; ready-for-agent; passes: false
Execution mode: AFK
Milestone: M5
Dependencies: DGR-069, DGR-070
Blocks (derived): None
Labels: area:maintenance, area:upstream, area:certification, type:operations, priority:p2, ready-for-agent
Evidence class: release
Hardware: optional
Model: deepseek-v4-flash
Upstream: yes

Objective / description

Fresh Ralph session: read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md, source issue .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/issues/071-establish-upstream-pin-patch-and-certification-maintenance.md, and evidence READMEs for dependencies (DGR-069, DGR-070) before changing code. Inspect live source/tests rather than trusting legacy pass states. Objective: Keep beta reproducible and detect upstream/model/hardware drift before it reaches routable nodes.

Acceptance criteria

Add a documented update procedure for llama.cpp pin, numbered patches, protocol/engine versions, V4 target revision, and certification records.
A candidate pin update must apply/build/test in isolation and cannot replace the production pin automatically.
Any changed graph, tensor inventory, boundary, cache/state layout, backend behavior, or performance invalidates affected certification.
Add scheduled model-free checks plus opt-in real-hardware recertification instructions and rollback procedure.
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

Write and verify .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-071/README.md. Until every criterion and applicable gate has real evidence, this story remains passes: false. Legacy evidence is provenance only, not completion credit.
