Register reserve under agents hub and pin VAULT storage.

Classify freedom-intelligence for State Hub (agents domain), sync FI-WP-0001..0003 with hub IDs, enrich catalog entries with profile/SWOT, and pin the open-weight reserve to D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\ with strategic S-tier policy.

+# Decision: 1TB local NAS + strategic capability reserve
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-24  
+**Status:** accepted  
+**Affects:** `docs/backup-storage-policy.md`, `inventory/collection-policy.md`,
+`docs/hardware-envelope.md`, collection tiers, FI-WP-0001 / 0003
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Storage backend** for the open-weight reserve is a **1 TB minimal local NAS**
+   attached to the lab (operator facility). Weights live there; git keeps catalog only.
+
+2. **Reserve intent** is explicitly **not limited to currently runnable models**.
+   We capture the **most capable open-weight models** that license allows us to
+   retain, even when they exceed today’s inference/training hardware (T4 and beyond).
+
+3. **Runnability** and **reservability** are separate axes:
+   - *Run envelope* → what we can serve or fine-tune now (T0–T3)
+   - *Reserve envelope* → what we store for future ops, training facility, or access loss
+
+---
+
+## Capacity reality check (1 TB)
+
+| Use | Guidance |
+| --- | -------- |
+| Raw device | ~1 TB |
+| Soft quota for model reserve | **850 GiB** (leave ~15% for FS overhead, staging, other lab bulk) |
+| Hard stop | **920 GiB** used on the NAS model tree — stop new pulls |
+| Growth review | At **70% of soft quota (~595 GiB)** re-prioritize; prefer drop easily re-obtained quants over unique SOTA bases |
+
+Full-precision 600B-class MoE weights can be **multi-hundreds of GiB to >1 TB each**.
+On a 1 TB NAS we therefore:
+
+* Prefer **official or well-provenance compressed** distributions (FP8, INT4/GGUF,
+  published quant) when the card supports them for the *strategic* tier  
+* Still catalog the **base model id + revision** as the capability identity  
+* Accept that only a **small number of top-tier giants** fit at once — quality over quantity  
+* Keep the **runnable spine** (P0) always resident so local work does not depend on giants
+
+Rough fit examples (order-of-magnitude; re-measure at download):
+
+| Portfolio sketch | Est. total |
+| ---------------- | ---------- |
+| P0 quant spine only | ~25–55 GiB |
+| P0 + mid P1 | ~80–150 GiB |
+| P0 + **one** SOTA open MoE quant (~300–400 GiB) | ~350–450 GiB |
+| P0 + two large MoE quants | can approach or exceed soft quota — choose carefully |
+
+---
+
+## Collection tiering (updated)
+
+| Tier | Name | Rule |
+| ---- | ---- | ---- |
+| **R** | Runnable spine | Fits current/near hardware; always keep |
+| **S** | Strategic capability | Best open SOTA / near-SOTA; **may be unrunnable today**; high retention |
+| **W** | Watch / optional | Nice-to-have; only if soft quota headroom |
+
+Supersedes the earlier “do not collect full DeepSeek MoE without a separate
+decision” posture: **strategic collection of top open giants is in scope** for
+this NAS, subject to license + soft quota.
+
+---
+
+## Non-goals (unchanged)
+
+* Public model CDN or Hugging Face mirror  
+* Collecting closed weights  
+* Guaranteeing inference of every reserved model on current hosts

+## Follow-ups
+
+- [x] Operator: pin storage path and create `freedom-intelligence/{models,staging,companions}/`
+  - **2026-07-28 interim:** `D:\vault\coulomb\freedom-intelligence\` on workstation VAULT HD (~1.86 TB)
+  - Soft quota **850 GiB** retained (self-imposed; disk larger than original 1 TB sketch)
+- [x] Update pin log in `docs/backup-storage-policy.md` with exact mount path
+- [x] Seed/update catalog entries for strategic tier (S)
+- [ ] FI-WP-0003: prioritize R spine + top S giants under 850 GiB soft quota
+- [x] WSL: `D:` available as `/mnt/d` (verified 2026-07-28)
