+# Website + README pass — audit findings and fix plan (2026-07-01)
+
+Scope: the `website/` Astro subproject (mlx-bun.dev), `README.md`, and the
+`docs/reference/` sources that feed both. Audited read-only against current
+main **and against the published `v0.0.8` tag** (what installers actually
+get). Every claim below was verified in source (`git show v0.0.8:…` for
+release attribution), not doc-vs-doc.
+
+## 0. The one decision that gates everything
+
+**The site and README already document v0.0.9 behavior.** The published
+v0.0.8 binary serves on **port 8090, bound to all interfaces**; main (and
+every doc: README, quickstart, http-api, the synced server-config page)
+says **8080 + loopback**. A fresh `brew install` user today follows the
+quickstart and every curl example fails. The five auto-synced reference
+pages likewise already describe `--max-tokens`, logprobs, `--sft-scope`,
+and `/v1/completions` — all post-tag.
+
+Two coherent options:
+
+- **(A) Recommended: cut v0.0.9, then deploy the site.** All docs become
+  true simultaneously; nothing below needs version annotations. The
+  release-notes draft already exists (`docs/planning/release-notes-v0.0.9.md`).
+- **(B)** If v0.0.9 is not imminent: hold site deploys, and treat every
+  item marked *v0.0.9* below as blocked. (Reverting docs to 8090 is churn
+  for nothing — don't.)
+
+The rest of this plan assumes (A); each item is still marked
+**[safe-now]** (true for v0.0.8 users too) or **[v0.0.9]** (true only
+after release).
+
+## 1. Mechanism: how site content is produced
+
+- **Generated (cannot drift):** 5 pages built from `docs/reference/*.md`
+  by `website/scripts/sync-reference-docs.mjs`, run on every
+  dev/build via the `astro:config:setup` hook in `astro.config.mjs`:
+  `server-api.md`, `server-config.md`, `training.md` → `reference/`;
+  `library-api.md`, `embedding.md` → `guides/`. Generated copies are
+  gitignored. This works well — verified accurate against main.
+- **Hand-written (tracked, CAN silently drift, and did):** `index.mdx`,
+  `getting-started/{introduction,installation,quickstart,models}`,
+  `guides/{http-api,troubleshooting}`, `reference/cli.md`, `about/*` (4).
+  The three that drifted are exactly the ones duplicating CLI/model facts:
+  `reference/cli.md`, `getting-started/models.md`, `guides/http-api.md`.
+- **Not synced at all:** `docs/reference/{memory,models,orpo-quickstart,distribution}.md`.
+  The first three are user-facing and site-worthy; distribution.md is
+  maintainer-ops, keep repo-only.
+
+### Mechanism bugs
+
+1. **Deploy trigger misses the source docs.** `.github/workflows/deploy-site.yml`
+   triggers only on `paths: website/**`. Edits to `docs/reference/*.md`
+   alone never redeploy — the "cannot drift" pages drift *in production*
+   until the next unrelated website commit. **Fix [safe-now]:** add
+   `docs/reference/**` to the paths filter.
+2. **"Edit page" links on the 5 generated pages 404.** Starlight's global
+   `editLink.baseUrl` points at `website/src/content/docs/…`, but those
+   files are gitignored, so GitHub 404s. **Fix [safe-now]:** have the sync
+   script inject per-page `editUrl:` frontmatter pointing at the real
+   source (`docs/reference/<file>.md`).
+3. **Local dev/build needs Node ≥ 22.12** (Astro 6). The machine default
+   is nvm Node 18 → `bun run build` fails locally; CI uses Node 22 and is
+   fine. **Fix [safe-now]:** add `"engines": { "node": ">=22.12.0" }` to
+   `website/package.json` and a one-liner in `website/README.md`
+   (`nvm use 22` or `bunx --bun astro build`).
+
+### Build health (measured)
+
+- Build: **green** — 18 pages, pagefind index, sitemap (built with Node 22 semantics via `bunx --bun astro build`).
+- Internal links: **all 17 unique internal hrefs resolve** to built routes.
+- GitHub `blob/main` links (22 unique): **all targets exist** in the repo.
+- Assets: `public/{CNAME,install.sh,favicon.svg}` present.
+- The only broken-link class is the editLink bug above.
+
+## 2. WRONG (fix first — actively misleads)
+
+| # | Where | Claim | Truth | Gate |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| W1 | Site quickstart/installation/index-hero, README (lines 96/108/208/235/286), synced server-config | server on `localhost:8080`, loopback | **v0.0.8 = port 8090, all interfaces**; 8080+loopback is post-tag (8ee691d) | **[v0.0.9]** — resolves itself under option (A) |
+| W2 | `website/…/reference/cli.md:29` | `--no-kv-quant` / `--kv-bits <n>` | Never existed. Real flag: `--kv-quant config\|off\|4\|8` | [safe-now] |
+| W3 | `website/…/reference/cli.md:30` | `--adapter id=dir` | Syntax is `--adapter <dir>` | [safe-now] |
+| W4 | `README.md:304` | "Published to npm as `mlx-bun` (current: 0.0.4)" | 0.0.8 | [safe-now] |
+| W5 | `getting-started/models.md:19` + `introduction.md:33` | "Currently MiniCPM5 plus the Gemma-4 quants… Qwen 3.x is next on the roadmap" | **Qwen3.5-4B is supported in v0.0.8** (support.ts at tag) — and `about/comparison.md:39` already says so; the site contradicts itself | [safe-now] |
+| W6 | `README.md:39`, `installation.mdx:22` | pin example `MLX_BUN_VERSION=v0.0.4` | Use `v0.0.8` (or drop the pinned example) | [safe-now] |
+
+## 3. STALE (true once, now behind)
+
+- S1 `getting-started/models.md` table: add the Qwen3.5-4B row (copy the
+  README's row: 3.1 GB, 8 GB, thinking + tool calling). [safe-now]
+- S2 `guides/http-api.md:85-89` endpoint list: `/stats`, `/fit`,
+  `/library`, `/downloads` existed at v0.0.8 and are undocumented
+  [safe-now]; `/v1/completions`, `/v1/embeddings`, `/health`,
+  logprobs/top_logprobs are **[v0.0.9]**.
+- S3 `about/benchmarks.md:6`: "mlx-optiq 0.2.1" — oracle venv now runs
+  0.2.4; also "clean-machine re-measure is pending" (line 35) — refresh or
+  date-stamp when the re-measure lands. [safe-now, low priority]
+- S4 README "Status" section: reflect the v0.0.9 wave (CI gate now exists,
+  Tier-0 generics, mlx-lm tool parity) — **[v0.0.9]**.
+
+## 4. MISSING (goals with no page)
+
+- M1 **Memory system — goal 5 — has ZERO website presence.** The
+  README sells it; the site never mentions it. `docs/reference/memory.md`
+  is accurate and site-worthy. **Fix:** add to the sync MAP →
+  `guides/memory.md` ("Personal memory") + a home-page feature card + a
+  sidebar entry. Read path (init/status/open/search/agent tools) shipped
+  in v0.0.8 [safe-now]; `memory synthesize` as a real pipeline is
+  **[v0.0.9]** (f7dad8f is post-tag) — under option (A) publish the whole
+  page at once.
+- M2 **CLI reference covers 7 of ~21 verbs.** Missing and in v0.0.8:
+  `gen/generate`, `bench`, `train`, `train-watch`, `memory`, `pi`, `help`
+  [safe-now]. Missing and post-tag: `embed`, `gc`, `fuse`, `convert`,
+  `upload`, `perplexity`, `setup` alias **[v0.0.9]**. **Structural fix:**
+  stop hand-writing it — create `docs/reference/cli.md` as the tracked
+  source (or generate from `printHelp`) and add it to the sync MAP, so the
+  CLI page can never drift again.
+- M3 **Model management** (`get`/`scan`/`ls`/`gc`, cache layout, gc safety
+  rails): `docs/reference/models.md` is accurate + site-worthy → sync to
+  `guides/model-management.md`. gc verb is **[v0.0.9]**; the rest safe-now.
+- M4 **Drop-in mlx-lm replacement — goal 1 — has no page.** It's v0.0.9's
+  headline (mlx_lm.server endpoint/flag/sampler/logprobs parity, same
+  port/host defaults, `fuse`/`convert`/`perplexity`/`upload` tool parity).
+  **Fix [v0.0.9]:** new `guides/drop-in-mlx-lm.md` — "stop
+  `mlx_lm.server`, start `mlx-bun serve`, same curl works" with the
+  parity table and the deliberately-not-ported list.
+- M5 **Tier-0 generic models** (UniversalDense, 11 archs, L1-gated,
+  bit-exact goldens for llama/qwen2/gemma2): reframes the scope story from
+  "a few models" to "runs what mlx-lm runs; *optimizes* the targets".
+  Rewrite `models.md` around the targeted-vs-generic tier split (`ls`
+  already labels it). **[v0.0.9]**.
+- M6 **The lab — goal 6 — is invisible.** ORPO training (orpo-quickstart
+  is accurate + site-worthy), DSpark speculative decoding, the curve
+  designer (`/curves` UI ships in v0.0.8!), diffusion-gemma, the
+  train-watch dashboard. **Fix:** new `about/lab.md` (or top-level "The
+  lab") presenting these as the experimental playground with GitHub links
+  into docs/design + docs/investigations; sync orpo-quickstart →
+  `guides/fine-tuning-quickstart.md`. Mostly [safe-now] (frame as
+  experimental); `--sft-scope` mention is [v0.0.9].
+- M7 **README link coverage:** memory paragraphs (137–145) should link
+  `docs/reference/memory.md` + `docs/design/memory-synthesis.md`; the
+  model table (155) should link `docs/reference/models.md`; nothing links
+  to **mlx-bun.dev** anywhere except install.sh — add a "Docs:
+  https://mlx-bun.dev" line at the top. [safe-now]

+
+### Six-goals legibility scorecard (today → after)
+
+| Goal | Today | After |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 Drop-in mlx-lm replacement | implicit ("OpenAI-compatible") | M4 page + home card names mlx_lm.server explicitly |
+| 2 JS library / Mac apps | ✅ library + embedding guides | unchanged (already good) |
+| 3 Memory/quality/speed | ✅ benchmarks + correctness + fit | S3 refresh |
+| 4 One command <60s, 4 paths | ✅ home hero + installation | W1 port fix is the blocker |
+| 5 Memory showcase | ❌ absent | M1 guide + home feature card |
+| 6 Playground | ❌ absent | M6 lab page + home card |
+
+- **Home page:** the 6 feature cards cover goals 1–4 twice and 5–6 never.
+  Swap/add two cards: "Personal memory" (goal 5) and "The lab" (goal 6);
+  make the Protocols card say "drop-in for mlx_lm.server" (goal 1).
+- **Reading order** is otherwise sound: hero → install → quickstart →
+  guides works; introduction.md and why.md duplicate two paragraphs
+  verbatim — acceptable, but keep them in sync or have intro link out.
+
+### README
+
+- The 60-second promise is buried at line 92 inside the *fourth* install
+  path. Move it into the opening: "one command, chatting in under a
+  minute" as the first bold claim, install one-liner immediately after —
+  matching the website hero (they should tell the same story; today the
+  README leads with the product-bet essay).
+- Add the six goals as an explicit bulleted frame (the "What mlx-bun is"
+  section at line 120 is close — reorder it to map 1:1 and give the memory
+  system and the lab their own H2s with doc links).
+- Add the mlx-bun.dev docs link at the top (M7).
+- Keep README ⊆ website: README states, website explains — every README
+  section should end with a link to the corresponding site page once M1–M6
+  land.
+
+## 6. Execution order
+
+1. **[safe-now, no release needed]** W2–W6, S1–S3, M7, mechanism fixes
+   (deploy paths filter, editUrl injection, engines field). Note: do NOT
+   deploy the site after these until step 2, because the synced pages
+   already carry v0.0.9 content (W1).
+2. **Josh: cut v0.0.9** (release-notes draft exists).
+3. **[with v0.0.9]** W1 becomes true; land M1–M6 + S4 + README
+   restructure; deploy once. New synced pages = add 4 entries to the
+   sync-script MAP (cli, memory, models→model-management,
+   orpo-quickstart→fine-tuning-quickstart) + sidebar entries + link
+   rewrites for the new routes.

+# CLI reference
+
+Every mlx-bun verb. Commands are shown as `mlx-bun <verb>`; from a clone the
+identical command is `bun src/cli.ts <verb>`. `mlx-bun help <verb>` (or
+`mlx-bun <verb> --help`) prints the full flag list for any command.
+
+Model arguments are **substring queries** against the registry (`e4b`, `26B`,
+`12B-it`); a query matching more than one model errors out and lists the
+candidates — just make it more specific.
+
+Bare `mlx-bun` with no verb runs `serve` — the appliance path: first run
+downloads a starter model, serves it, and opens the chat UI.
+
+> Verbs marked **(v0.0.9)** ship in v0.0.9; everything else is in v0.0.8.
+
+## Serving & chat
+
+### `serve` — run the server
+
+Start the OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible server plus the status page and browser
+chat UI.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun serve                              # default model, http://localhost:8080
+mlx-bun serve e4b                          # pick a model by substring
+mlx-bun serve gemma --memory-budget 18     # ...with admission control (GB)
+mlx-bun serve e4b --no-open                # don't open the browser chat UI
+```
+
+Common flags (full list in [server-config.md](server-config.md)):
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|---|---|
+| `--host <addr>` | Interface to bind (default `127.0.0.1`, loopback only; `0.0.0.0` to expose) |
+| `--port <n>` | Listen port (default 8080) |
+| `--memory-budget <GB>` | Reject loads/requests that can't fit the budget |
+| `--kv-quant config\|off\|4\|8` | KV cache quantization: per-layer `kv_config.json`, bf16, or uniform bits (default `config`) |
+| `--adapter <dir>` | Mount a LoRA adapter at startup (`--adapter-path` accepted as the mlx_lm.server alias) |
+| `--batch <n>` | Continuous-batched bf16 serving (default 1 = serial) |
+| `--temperature` / `--top-p` / `--top-k` / `--max-tokens` | Server-wide sampling defaults (per-request fields still win) |
+| `--l1` / `--l2` / `--l3` | Parity tier: bit-exact to mlx-lm / bit-exact to mlx-optiq / best performance |
+| `--no-open` | Don't auto-open the chat UI |
+
+Endpoints: `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/completions`, `/v1/messages`,
+`/v1/responses`, `/v1/models`, `/v1/adapters`, `/health`, `/stats`, `/fit`,
+`/library`, `/downloads` — status page at `/`, browser chat at `/chat`. Full
+schemas in [server-api.md](server-api.md).
+
+### `pi` — built-in coding agent
+
+Run the pi coding agent's terminal UI in-process against a local model —
+nothing to install. Reuses a healthy running server, otherwise starts one for
+the session.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun pi                          # interactive agent session
+mlx-bun pi -p "explain this repo"   # one-shot: print the reply and exit
+```
+
+### `harness pi` — connect your own pi
+
+For people who already use
+[pi](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent): installs a small,
+reversible discovery extension that registers the local server as a pi
+provider.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun harness pi              # then: pi --provider mlx-bun
+mlx-bun harness pi --remove     # disconnect
+```
+
+### `generate` (alias `gen`) — one-shot generation
+
+Load the model, generate, print, exit — no server. Renders through the chat
+template by default; `--raw` feeds the prompt verbatim. Sampling and
+decode-path levers mirror `serve` (`--temperature`, `--seed`, `--l1/--l2/--l3`,
+`--kv-quant`, …).
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun generate gemma "a haiku about metal shaders"
+mlx-bun gen e4b --prompt "…" --max-tokens 512 --seed 42
+```
+
+### `embed` — text embeddings **(v0.0.9)**
+
+One-shot embeddings from a local Qwen3-Embedding model (last-token pooled,
+L2-normalized — bit-exact vs mlx-lm). One JSON vector per input line.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun embed --text "hello world"
+echo -e "line one\nline two" | mlx-bun embed --json
+```
+
+For a server endpoint, `mlx-bun serve <embedding-model>` then
+`POST /v1/embeddings`.
+
+## Models & disk
+
+Full guide: [models.md](models.md).
+
+### `get` — download a model
+
+Resumable, checksum-verified download into the standard Hugging Face cache
+(plain HTTPS, no Xet — no 0% stalls).
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun get mlx-community/gemma-4-12B-it-OptiQ-4bit
+mlx-bun get 12B                  # no "/" = registry query; re-gets/refreshes the match
+```
+
+### `scan` — index your cache
+
+Re-index the HF cache into the registry (config + safetensors headers only,
+never tensor bytes) so `ls`, `serve`, and `fit` can find models by substring.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun scan
+```
+
+### `ls` — list models
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun ls                          # size, params, quant, capabilities
+mlx-bun ls --vision --max-size 10GB # filter
+mlx-bun ls --all-revisions          # one row per cached snapshot
+```
+
+### `gc` — reclaim disk **(v0.0.9)**
+
+Delete superseded snapshots and the blobs only they reference. Prints the plan
+by default; `--yes` actually deletes.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun gc          # dry-run: what would be reclaimed
+mlx-bun gc --yes    # delete
+```
+
+### `fit` — memory contract
+
+Deterministic memory assessment: does it fit, what's the max context, predicted
+tok/s. Weights bytes from safetensors headers, KV bytes/token from the config,
+calibrated prefill transient, wired-memory ceiling.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun fit gemma --ctx 32768          # for this machine
+mlx-bun fit gemma --ctx 8192 --skus    # across the Apple Silicon lineup
+```
+
+## Training & model creation
+
+Full reference: [training.md](training.md); guided walkthrough:
+[orpo-quickstart.md](orpo-quickstart.md).
+
+### `train` — LoRA fine-tune
+
+SFT / DPO / ORPO on your data, with the full memory stack (flash-CCE head,
+prefix-sharing, segmented backward) on by default. Saves a mountable adapter.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun train e4b --data ./prefs                     # ORPO (default) on {prompt,chosen,rejected}
+mlx-bun train e4b --data ./prefs --method sft        # SFT on {messages|text}
+mlx-bun train e4b --data ./prefs --dry-run           # inspect the plan, don't train
+```
+
+### `train-watch` — live training dashboard
+
+Tails an adapter dir's `metrics.jsonl` and renders live loss / speed / memory.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun train-watch ~/.cache/mlx-bun/mlx-bun-finetunes/orpo-e4b
+```
+
+### `fuse` — merge an adapter into the base **(v0.0.9)**
+
+Folds LoRA deltas into the base weights and writes a standalone snapshot; a
+quantized base keeps its exact quantization layout. Flag names match
+`mlx_lm.fuse`.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun fuse e4b --adapter ./adapters --save-path ./fused_model
+mlx-bun serve ./fused_model
+```
+
+### `convert` — quantize a model **(v0.0.9)**
+
+Quantize an HF model (local path, downloaded model, or repo id) into a local
+MLX snapshot — uniform 4/8-bit, or mixed-precision via `--target-bpw`
+(sensitivity sweep + per-layer bit knapsack). `--upload-repo` pushes the result.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun convert Qwen/Qwen3-4B -q                      # uniform 4-bit
+mlx-bun convert Qwen/Qwen3-4B --target-bpw 4.5        # mixed precision
+```
+
+### `upload` — push to the Hugging Face Hub **(v0.0.9)**
+
+Native push-to-hub, no Python: creates the repo if needed, uploads via the
+git-LFS batch protocol, commits. Flag names match `mlx_lm.upload`.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun upload --path ./fused_model --upload-repo you/my-model
+```
+
+### `perplexity` — evaluate on your data **(v0.0.9)**
+
+`mlx_lm.perplexity` methodology exactly, over a **local** `.jsonl`/`.txt` file.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun perplexity e4b --data-path ./corpus.jsonl
+```
+
+## Memory
+
+### `memory` — the personal wiki
+
+A local, durable memory for the assistant: a git-tracked Markdown wiki at
+`~/.mlx-bun/wiki` that loads into every `mlx-bun pi` / `mlx-bun serve` session.
+Full guide: [memory.md](memory.md).
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun memory init              # create the wiki (idempotent); import + schedule
+mlx-bun memory status            # path, article count, git + schedule state
+mlx-bun memory open [article]    # open in Obsidian (falls back to Finder)
+mlx-bun memory search <query>    # search articles from the terminal
+mlx-bun memory synthesize        # conversations → cross-linked articles, all local
+mlx-bun memory schedule --at 03:00
+```
+
+`setup` is an alias for `memory` **(v0.0.9)**.
+
+## Measurement
+
+### `benchmark` (alias `bench`) — measure our stack
+
+Runs mlx-bun by itself on this machine and records to the eval DB.
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun bench e4b --tokens 256 --runs 3
+```
+
+For quotable **cross-stack** numbers use `./benchmark.sh` from the repo — it
+preflight-gates on an idle machine and runs the mlx-lm/optiq comparison legs,
+writing `benchmarks-h2h-<date>.md`.
+
+### `evals` — recorded runs
+
+```sh
+mlx-bun evals                # table: when, model, KV mode, tok/s, TTFT, peak, commit
+mlx-bun evals --raw          # JSON lines for scripts/jq
+```
+
+## Everything else
+
+- `help [verb]` — overview, or per-verb help (same as `<verb> --help`).
