v0.22.0:0 - configurable vllm port; gitea-release tooling; coexistence roadmap

- Configure Sparks gains a vLLM port field (blank => 8888, our launch-cluster.sh
  default); VLLM_PORT plumbed configureSparks -> sparkConfig.yaml -> main.ts env
  -> config.py. So an adopter whose vLLM listens elsewhere (e.g. 8000) can fix
  the "vLLM unreachable" health check without rebuilding the package.
- Harden numeric env parsing (config._env_int): a blank or malformed port now
  falls back to its default instead of crashing daemon startup (closes a P3
  tech-debt item; the Configure panel passes unset optional fields as "").
- Add scripts/gitea-release.sh + `make release` to publish the built s9pk to
  Gitea Releases, so the OpenClaw adopter pulls updates with a read-only token
  instead of being hand-sent the package.
- Capture the OpenClaw/Johnny-5 coexistence epic and the "control plane, not a
  job runner" stance in ROADMAP.md and Current state.

 - **Infra gotcha (safety):** passwordless sudo is NOT configured on spark2 — design unprivileged probes for any Spark feature (the badge uses `ip`, not `sudo wg show`). spark2 sits on the `starttunnel` WireGuard subnet (`10.59.211.6/24`, survives reboot). Owner declined SSH-key rotation after the 2026-06-12 history scrub (only the key *name* leaked) — don't re-flag.
 - **Hosting:** self-hosted Gitea — remote `gitea`, branch `master`, over SSH; push after committing. (Wart: commit `8d839e3` is mislabeled `v0.13.0:4` but contains through v0.18.0:0.)

Sequence: (1) **configurable `VLLM_PORT`** — DONE in tree, staged as **v0.22.0:0** (Configure-Sparks field, blank ⇒ 8888; + `_env_int` hardening in `config.py` so a blank/bad port no longer crashes startup, killing a P3 tech-debt item). **Not yet built/installed/committed — awaiting go/no-go.** (2) local-path/fine-tuned models (in ROADMAP under Dashboard).

+## Cluster coordination — OpenClaw coexistence (committed 2026-06-17, from Johnny 5 report 2026-06-16)
+
+Driven by the one other Spark Control adopter (a colleague running OpenClaw + cron jobs against his own dual Sparks; report at the date above). His cluster is configured differently from ours (vLLM on **both** Sparks, port 8000, raw `docker run`, container `vllm-gemma4`) and an automated cron physically swaps models — so his notes are partly *portability gaps* (the package hard-codes our layout) and partly *coordination gaps* (his dashboard and his crons fight over the GPU).
+
+**Design stance (decided):** Spark Control is the **control plane / GPU arbiter, not a job runner.** Recurring business pipelines (his "Daily Vol" generator; our own future scheduled jobs) live in *separate* application services that *call* Spark Control's swap API. The dividing line is what a scheduled job *does*: control-plane actions (swap a model, warm it, restart a service, run a health sweep) are in scope for an in-package scheduler; business logic (scrape / summarize / build / deploy) stays in the app layer. Swaps are already API-driven (`POST /api/swap` → `GET /api/swap/{id}` / `…/stream`, `POST /api/swap/{key}/validate`) and non-browser clients pass the CSRF guard, so an external scheduler can drive swaps **today** — the items below add the *safety* layer, not the capability.
+
+Sequenced:
+1. **Configurable `VLLM_PORT`** — DONE, v0.22.0:0. Field in Configure Sparks (blank ⇒ 8888); numeric-setting parsing hardened so a blank/bad value falls back instead of crashing startup. Was the immediate "vLLM unreachable" bug for an adopter on port 8000.
+2. **Local-path / fine-tuned model support** — see the dedicated item under "## Dashboard" below. Independently wanted; his merged `ten31-v2` (a directory, not an HF repo) is the motivating case.
+3. **Configurable topology** — make the service→Spark→port map and container names configurable so the package stops assuming our exact layout. Lets an adopter monitor vLLM on *both* Sparks, use a different container name, and stop the Parakeet probe from hitting a vLLM that shares its port — without forking. (Covers report P4 multi-Spark vLLM, P5 container name, and the Parakeet-port collision #6.)
+4. **Coordination layer** — build when our own automation actually lands (zero value until something other than the dashboard swaps models):
+   - **Swap lock** with holder + TTL (`POST` / `GET` / `DELETE /api/swap/lock`). An external scheduler acquires it before swapping; the dashboard then refuses manual swaps and shows who holds the GPU and until when. Enforced by the swap path, not advisory.
+   - **Swap-event webhook** (`swap_complete` / `swap_failed`) to a configurable URL, so downstream consumers update their provider config when the running model changes.
+   - **Schedule visibility** — read-only view the dashboard surfaces, *registered by* external schedulers (Spark Control does not own the schedule).
+
 ## Near term
 - parakeet-asr long-audio memory guard — **deferred 2026-06-15, low priority.** A duration cap on `/v1/audio/diarize`: Sortformer runs the whole file in one pass (`diarizer.py:128-135`) over Spark 2's *shared* 128 GB unified memory (also feeding Kokoro/embeddings/Qdrant), so one giant single file can thrash into swap. **Precautionary — no observed incident**, and the production consumer (Recap Relay) already chunks via `/diarize-chunk` (~5-min, already bounded), so the only exposed path is a consumer POSTing one huge file to the full `/diarize`. When picked up: add a configurable `MAX_DIARIZE_SECONDS` guard in `diarizer.py` right after `duration` is computed (~line 130) → raise → HTTP 413 in `main.py` (mirrors the existing `MAX_UPLOAD_MB` 413); ship via the Reapply-patches action (restarts the live parakeet-asr container → needs go/no-go). Leave transcription out of v1 (upstream/un-patched file; parakeet-TDT handles long audio better). Revisit only if a consumer starts sending long single files.
 - Controlled concurrency sweep of the audio endpoints in a quiet window — replace the reasoned in-flight cap (2, ceiling 3) with the measured knee.

A dialog shows the key plus a ready-to-paste command for adding it on the target machine.

+## matrix-bridge bot tile (optional)
+
+If you run the matrix-bridge bot container on a Spark, set its SSH user in **Configure Sparks** (e.g. the user that owns `~/matrix-bridge`) and a tile appears under "Always-on services" with status, Update, Restart, Stop/Start, and View logs. Status is docker-state only (no HTTP health), so a `running` badge means the container is up, not necessarily that the bot is connected.
+
+The **Update** button runs `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/<branch> && docker compose up -d --build` as that SSH user. For it to reach your git remote:
+
+1. `~/matrix-bridge` must be a clone of the repo (not loose files). Gitignored secrets (`.env`, etc.) survive a `git reset --hard`.
+2. If that user has more than one SSH key, pin the remote's key so git doesn't offer the wrong one first (a common `Permission denied (publickey)` cause). In the user's `~/.ssh/config`:
+
+   ```
+   Host <your-git-host>
+       Port <port>
+       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+       IdentitiesOnly yes
+   ```
+
+3. Spark Control's own package key must be authorized for that SSH user (Show Public Key → add to their `authorized_keys`) unless it's the same user Spark Control already uses for that Spark.
+
 ## Adding a new model
 
 1. Add an entry to `image/models.yaml`. Required fields: `display_name`, `repo`, `size_gb`, `mode` (`solo` or `cluster`), `vllm_args`. Optional but recommended: `description` (one paragraph — what the model is, what it's good for, how it differs from others; renders below the meta tags in each card), `capabilities` (tags like `[vision, reasoning, tools]`), `expected_ready_seconds`.
