Progress update, 13 Jun 2026

Updates are bullet-point summaries generated with AI from my commits and build notes, then checked by me. Project articles and learning notes are written by me.

Wrote the remaining-implementation plan for a less capable model to execute: complete code for every file, exact commands, nothing inferred. It ran steps 1 to 3 and the code matched the plan, but it left the generation script uncommitted, so the work existed only on disk.
The generation script hardcoded Ollama’s port. Swapped both the URL and the model name to environment variables, because the development machine runs llama.cpp on 8899 and the Pi will run something else.
localhost in that variable resolves to the dev container, not the host serving the model. host.docker.internal is the fix, and it is the kind of thing that reads as “the model is down”.
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json was listed as created in the previous session’s notes and did not exist. Described, never written. The first instance of a note recording an intention as a fact.
