For redeploying curator while away with nobody to restart the agent:
- _process now distinguishes a TRANSPORT error (curator down/redeploying, 5xx,
401/403/408/409/429, or our lease reclaimed mid-flight) from a genuine job
fault. On a transport error it hands the job back (best effort) and signals
the loop to back off — instead of calling fail(), which would burn the job's
server-side attempt budget (MAX_ATTEMPTS=3) and permanently error good jobs
across a redeploy. Job-specific 4xx (404 image gone) still fail so they don't
re-lease forever.
- lease loop retries with capped exponential backoff (poll_idle → 60s) and
resets on the first successful lease, so a long outage is gentle and recovery
is automatic within ≤60s of curator returning. Sleeps are interruptible so
Stop / pool-shrink stays responsive.
- AUTO_START env (default on in compose) resumes the worker on container start,
so a host reboot / crash-restart (restart: unless-stopped) self-heals with
nobody at the desktop.
- control UI shows a "waited out" counter + an "curator unreachable, holding
work" banner so the recovering state reads as recovery, not failure.

Lift recall on small/local concepts (glasses, cum, stomach-bulge, xray,
lactation) that the whole-image SigLIP vector washes out: the GPU agent now
embeds figure crops with SigLIP too, stored as kind='concept' regions, and the
suggestion rail scores each image as a BAG (whole-image + every concept crop),
taking each head's MAX over the bag. The whole-image vector is always in the
bag, so this can never score lower than before.
Model-agnostic by construction: the server ANNOUNCES the embedding model
(HF name + version) in the lease, so the agent loads whatever the heads were
trained in and stays in lock-step — a model swap is a server setting + a
re-embed migration, never an agent change.
- agent: model-agnostic CropEmbedder (torch/transformers get_image_features,
fp16 on CUDA, inference-locked); worker branches on job.task — 'ccip' emits
figure(CCIP)+concept(SigLIP) in one pass, 'siglip' emits concept-only so the
back-catalogue backfill never churns figure/CCIP regions; torch cu124 +
transformers in the image.
- server: lease announces embed_model_name/embed_version; score_image is
max-over-bag (version-filtered region embeddings); enqueue_gpu_backfill
'siglip' gates on a missing concept region (drains the back-catalogue,
retries failures, no double-enqueue); daily siglip-backfill beat; UI button;
/api/ccip/overview reports images_with_concept_siglip.
- v1 scope: suggestion rail only — auto-apply stays whole-image (conservative;
heads' thresholds were calibrated on whole-image). Bulk-apply bag = follow-up.
