Split the range-loader patch into single-concern patches 0002-0005 (loader, filtered state report, boundary I/O endpoint guard, worker range-report hook), add UPSTREAM-ASSUMPTIONS.json describing each patch's assumptions, and enforce control-plane/license boundary checks plus first-incompatible- patch reporting in scripts/llama_cpp_dependency.py apply/reverse/verify. 7 passed in tests/test_llama_cpp_dependency.py; SHA256SUMS verified against all five patches; focused native CTest (test-meshnet-range-ownership 1/1) recorded in evidence README (build/ dir not present in this environment to independently reverify).
Distributed GGUF Runtime evidence
Specification status: planning artifacts only. No distributed GGUF runtime is implemented. DGR-017 cleanup is complete; no runtime implementation story has completion credit.
prd.jsonis authoritative.
Authority and classes
Evidence supports but never overrides prd.json. Valid classes are model-free, fixture, real-model, real-hardware, and release; lower classes cannot satisfy higher-class acceptance. Legacy DGR-001..016 directories remain unchanged for DGR-017 provenance audit and confer no completion credit.
Future story layout
Each DGR-017..071 story writes evidence/<ID>/README.md with summary, exact changed files, exact commands and real outputs, limitations, compatibility/migration notes, and dependent-story handoff. Machine-readable contracts, manifests, metrics, and raw logs live beside it. Never fabricate output.
Real runs record exact model SHA and all split hashes, tokenizer, quant/recipe, llama.cpp pin+patch identity, backend/driver/toolchain, host/hardware/network, commands/environment (without secrets), raw parity/performance/resource results, and evidence class. Models live on configured mounted-drive storage, never /home.
Routing certification records prove only the exact exercised backend/model/recipe lane. Compile-only, fixture, failed, or unavailable lanes remain registered-dark. V4 cache/state evidence must show KV and CSA/HCA/SWA/indexer/compressor data remain shard-local/session-keyed; route recovery evidence must show cache miss plus re-prefill/restart, not migration.
