Dialectic benchmark (8 hermes-fleet questions): Qwen3-4B answered in 2-12 s but often wrongly (invented facts, 'no information' on things memory holds); the 9B answered correctly. All Honcho dialectic levels now use the 9B (rift .env). Its VRAM goes to the 9B's KV pool: at 2 x 16k, concurrent deriver + dialectic hit 'failed to find free space in the KV cache'. 9B 6.3 GB + embed 2.2 GB = 8.4 GB.
