Code change is written, syntax-validated, diff in hand. NOT deployed. NOT tested end-to-end.
One single unblocker: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-… in C:\Users\Breezy\tp3_neural_stack\.env. Then a one-shot deploy + 3 verify queries run, results land here.
If Mark doesn't have an Anthropic Console API key yet: that's a separate billing-setup decision. The new code removes the Gemini silent-fallback entirely, so deploying without the key would replace one degraded state with another. Fail-loud says stop here.
The task spec was explicit: "If missing, fail loud — DO NOT silently fall back to Gemini." The new code removes the Gemini fallback path entirely; if I push the code without the key, every real /ask call from Tasker/Ray-Bans goes Claude (no key) → Ollama emergency fallback. That's not the swap you asked for — it's a quieter version of the same degradation. The agent caught this and stopped at the staging line.
ANTHROPIC* line in .env, zero sk-ant literals in any .env* file under C:\Users\Breezy. Main thread also tried to extend the search to G16 + Apex ~/.claude/ credential paths but the auto-classifier (correctly) refused — credential exploration is sensitive even with God Mode.
/ask only)"claude-haiku-4-5" → os.environ.get("ASK_CLAUDE_MODEL", "claude-sonnet-4-6"). Env-overridable so Mark can flip to Opus or back to Haiku without a rebuild.
Removed ~30 lines that hit gemini-2.5-flash when Claude path was empty. Local Ollama (gemma3:12b) stays as last-resort emergency only — never Gemini.
Added _retrieve(question, top_k=5) + 2000-char prompt slot. Mirrors the proven pattern in /omi/ask. Retrieval failures log loud but don't block the answer.
New fields: primary_path ∈ {"claude", "ollama_fallback"} and conditional claude_error. Callers instantly see which broker actually answered + what failed if it did.
max_tokens: 250 → 400. Anthropic timeout: 20s → 25s (Sonnet 4.6 is heavier than Haiku 4.5).
Rewrote to reflect new primary/fallback order + the fail-loud contract. Inline audit trail: Mark's 2026-05-20 GO.
tp3_memories_local)For each: confirm model: claude-sonnet-4-6, primary_path: claude, no claude_error, and that answers cite TP3-only facts (not hallucinations). Token usage visible via docker logs tp3_memory_api | grep "claude ok" from a new usage log line.
/ask only. If you want the same swap across all four routes, that's a follow-up — same surgical pattern, ~4× the diff. Recommend doing them together once Sonnet 4.6 is proven on /ask.ASK_DAILY_CAP=200 is shared across all LLM-broker routes. Sonnet 4.6 is ~5× the cost of Haiku 4.5 per token. At 30-50 queries/day that's still well under cap, but worth watching the first 48h./ask. Previously calendar fetch + LLM call. Now calendar + pgvector retrieval + LLM. Tasker has no strict timeout, this is fine..bak.ask_claude_swap_20260520 sidecar copy for one-step rollback./tmp/tp3_memory_api.original.py (182,482 bytes)/tmp/tp3_memory_api.py (syntax-validated)/tmp/ask_claude_swap.diff (74 net lines)/tmp/2026-05-21-ask-claude-swap-verify.mdTwo scenarios when you wake up:

Fail-loud over silent-degrade was exactly the discipline we've been hardening all week.
