History
Architect opened the ticket Architect set the parent to antcolony #1 Architect changed the state pending Held briefly by the architect: the scheduler folder needs a quiet moment after antcolony#17 to test and restart the scheduler with #14–#17; reopened right after.
Architect changed the state open Restart window over (#14–#17 live, #27 running) — back in the queue.

AntColonyScheduler commented Half done: The librarian can use a small local model with Claude as fallback; no local model is accurate enough yet; the next worker continues.

- Decided: Only the librarian goes local; the controller stays on Claude; Scheduler does not start llama-server; it only needs the URL; Default stays sonnet; local is opt-in with Claude fallback.

AntColonyScheduler commented Half done: Local librarian works with Claude fallback, but no local model is fast or accurate enough yet; the next worker continues.

- Decided: Did not bypass the sandbox to reach the GPU; stopped after the CPU timing showed the 9B model is unusable.

AntColonyScheduler commented Half done: Local model option for the librarian works, but CPU is too slow to prove one; default stays Claude; the next worker continues.

- Decided: Did not start my own model server; used the existing one on :8821 only as a client; Stopped after the third CPU failure: more CPU trials only repeat the same result.
