16 — Produce the upstream llama.cpp collaboration package

Status: ready-for-agent

Mandatory fresh-session context

  • Read RALPH-CONTEXT.md completely before changing code.
  • This issue is DGR-016 in prd.json.
  • Read the evidence README for every dependency listed below.
  • Inspect current code and git status; historical text and previous agent claims are not evidence.

Description

As a maintainer, I need narrow upstreamable proposals so that our patch burden can shrink without asking llama.cpp to own Meshnet networking.

Expected durable outputs

  • Narrow upstream patches/tests
  • Generic API design note
  • Human-ready llama.cpp outreach package
  • evidence/DGR-016/README.md

Acceptance criteria

  • Separate generic llama.cpp hooks from Meshnet protocol/control-plane code.
  • Prepare minimal reproducible examples and tests for range-aware loading, boundary input/output, and layer-filtered KV.
  • Compare the proposal with Nakshatra and prima.cpp evidence and explain why the API is generally useful.
  • Preserve one scoped commit/patch per concern against the exact upstream pin.
  • Produce an outreach document suitable for Georgi/llama.cpp maintainers; actual sending remains a human action.
  • Targeted pytest tests pass
  • python -m compileall packages tests passes for Python changes
  • git diff --check passes
  • Default tests remain deterministic, model-download-free, API-credit-free, and GPU-free
  • Full deterministic pytest -q passes, or the exact pre-existing unrelated failure is recorded with a clean-tree reproduction
  • Pinned native C++ target builds and focused CTest/protocol tests pass where native code is touched
  • llama.cpp patch stack applies cleanly to the exact pinned commit where patch code is touched
  • Read .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/RALPH-CONTEXT.md and this story issue completely before changing code
  • Read and verify every dependency evidence README before relying on dependency behavior
  • Preserve all pre-existing working-tree changes and stage only files belonging to this story
  • Write .scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-016/README.md with files changed, exact commands and real results, limitations, compatibility notes, and dependent-story handoff
  • Update only this story issue to Status: done after every acceptance criterion and quality gate passes

Dependency handoff

  • DGR-010 must have passes: true; read ../evidence/DGR-010/README.md and verify its referenced files/commands.

Finish contract

  • Create the task evidence directory and durable handoff required above.
  • Preserve real failures and blockers; never fabricate benchmark, model, test or hardware output.
  • Change this issue to Status: done only after all criteria pass.
  • Emit <promise>COMPLETE</promise> only after the evidence handoff exists.
