Chunk 27.0
In this chunk, the assistant finalized the production deployment setup by changing the default `safety_margin` from 5GiB to 10GiB in the memory budget configuration, then comprehensively rewrote the Docker entrypoint, run, and benchmark scripts to use the new memory-budget-driven config model (removing deprecated `partition_workers` and `preload` fields). The updated scripts now generate configs using `memory.total_budget = "auto"` and `pipeline.synthesis_concurrency`, `max_parallel_synthesis`, and `max_gpu_queue_depth` settings. The assistant then built and pushed the `theuser/curio-cuzk:latest` Docker image incorporating all changes. After deployment, the user reported several issues from benchmark runs: the `synthesis_concurrency` default of 4 was too low (should be 18 to match `max_parallel_synthesis`), the benchmark client concurrency of 3 was insufficient (should be at least 4), the benchmark daemon lacked a `status_listen` address preventing the pipeline UI from appearing, and ANSI escape codes in log output needed stripping for the web UI. The assistant acknowledged these problems and began implementing fixes: raising `synthesis_concurrency` to 18 in both run and benchmark scripts, setting benchmark concurrency to a minimum of 4, adding `status_listen` to the benchmark config template, and planning to add ANSI escape code stripping in the vast-manager UI's log rendering.
