tegwick a78187c33e Make the sensing loop durable and pin the reserve to Scaleway 
The weekday brief only counts when the file is on origin/main. Hub
events without git objects are failures. The open-weight SoT moves
from the VAULT 850 GiB quota to a dedicated Scaleway bucket (One Zone
IA for R, Glacier for S) so V4-Flash and K3 are economically in-scope.

Catalogs the real DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 (MIT ~167 GiB MoE, not 12B)
and nominates Qwen3.8-27B. Bucket create remains FI-WP-0004-T08.

Freedom Intelligence Daily Brief — 2026-09-13

Month catch-up. Last file on origin/main is 2026-08-14. Hub fi_daily_brief events exist for 2026-09-07…11 with committed=True and no git objects. Those days are not recovered here. This file is a field + ops delta from 2026-08-14, not a resurrection of the missing executor commits.

Headline deltas

  • Loop failure: sensing ran locally on railiance and cleared due without publishing to origin. Rein-aharness dropped git push on 2026-09-04 as an integrity guard; FI now re-grants origin publication as a named completion requirement (FI-WP-0004).
  • DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 is not 12B. Official card: MIT, 284B base / ~13B active (304B with DSpark), ~167 GiB HF tree, 2026-07-31. Automated briefs 08-04…14 re-announced it as a new 12B dense model (license flipped MIT/Apache) and 08-07 claimed it was already on disk. Catalog now records the real model as S, approved, not collected.
  • Qwen3.8-27B (Apache-2.0 dense multimodal, 2026-08-14) and Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B (custom Max licence, multi-TB, ~08-12) shipped in the hole. 27B is a W/R candidate; Max is S-watch only until euro budget is live.
  • Reserve facility: VAULT HD 850 GiB quota is retired as SoT. Scaleway nl-ams object storage is the reserve (One Zone IA for R, Glacier for S). Kimi K3 (~1454 GiB) becomes a few euros/month on Glacier instead of a quota wall.
  • Next pull after the bucket exists: V4-Flash official tree into strategic/ Glacier — it always fitted even the old 850 GiB quota.

Lab implications

  • Finish FI-WP-0004: origin publish in the executor, durability verifier in CI/ops, Scaleway bucket (T08), then collect V4-Flash (T09).
  • Do not treat hub fi_daily_brief as evidence the brief exists until scripts/verify_brief_durability.py is green.
  • Recovering 2026-09-07…11 files from the railiance clone is optional; they were produced by the same failing loop and are not trusted.
  • Hardware envelope hosts are still TBD — R-upgrade of Qwen3.8-27B waits on that as much as on disk.

Notes / caveats

  • Parameter counts and €/GB from primary cards/pricing pages today; re-measure at pull.
  • Qwen3.8-Max open tree licence is not Apache-2.0; do not copy the 27B licence onto it.
  • DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731-12B is not a real repo id.
