Consolidate genuine duplication in agent/fc_agent into single-source helpers (behavior-preserving; DRY Pass process #594): worker.py - _fail(jid, image_id, exc, verb) — 4 terminal "fail this job" blocks (downloader HTTP-fault + decode, consumer non-transient + generic). - _release(job_ids) (was _release_owned) — the one lease hand-back path; 6 inline release([jid])+unhold sites now route through it. - _stopped(stop_evt) + _abort_if_stopped(jid, stop_evt) — 4 stop-check -and-release blocks and every bare stop-check. - _timed(stage) contextmanager — ~8 monotonic()/_record() timing pairs; records only on clean exit, matching the old skip-on-raise behavior. - _ewma(prev, x, alpha) module fn — 3 EWMA updates in the autoscaler. client.py - _submit(path, payload) — submit / submit_embedding (retrying session). - _post_quiet(path, payload) — heartbeat / fail / release fire-and-forget. detectors.py - Proposers._top(detector, image, cap) — merges components() and panels(). config.py - _bool_env(name, default) — auto_start / auto_scale env parsing. Left alone (recorded): the xyxy→norm-xywh conversion duplicated across models.py/detectors.py (2 copies, independent wrapper modules — sharing would couple them), and the _ensure_embedder/_ensure_proposers pair (same lock shape, different concepts).

FabledCurator GPU agent
A desktop-GPU worker that embeds characters (CCIP) + figure crops for FabledCurator. It talks to FC only over HTTP — it leases jobs, fetches image pixels, runs the models on your GPU, and posts results back. Your FC database and Redis stay private; the agent never touches them.
You run it when you want a burst and stop it to reclaim the card.
0. Host prerequisite — NVIDIA Container Toolkit
Docker needs the toolkit to hand the GPU to a container (else: "could not select device driver nvidia with capabilities gpu"). On Arch/CachyOS:
sudo pacman -S nvidia-container-toolkit
sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker
sudo systemctl restart docker
# verify:
docker run --rm --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.4.1-base-ubuntu22.04 nvidia-smi
1. Get a token
In FC: Settings → Tagging → GPU agent → Generate token (or Rotate). Copy it.
2. Pull (CI publishes it alongside the web/ml images)
docker pull git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/fabledcurator-agent:latest
Local build for development instead:
docker build -t fc-gpu-agent agent/
3. Run (on the machine with the GPU)
docker run --rm --gpus all -p 8770:8770 \
-e FC_URL=http://curator.traefik.internal \
-e FC_TOKEN=<paste-the-token> \
-v fc-agent-models:/models \
git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/fabledcurator-agent:latest
Then open http://localhost:8770 — the control page. Click Start to begin
draining the queue; Pause/Stop to yield the GPU. The -v fc-agent-models
volume caches the downloaded ONNX models so restarts are fast.
Kick off a backfill from FC (GPU agent card → Queue character embedding), then watch the queue counts on the control page (or FC's card) drain.

⚠️ Verify on first run
This part can't be CI-tested (no GPU/models in CI), so confirm against your
installed dghs-imgutils (pip show dghs-imgutils) — see fc_agent/models.py:
imgutils.detect.detect_person(image, level=...)returns[((x0,y0,x1,y1), label, score), ...].imgutils.metrics.ccip_extract_feature(image, model=...)returns a vector (768-d for caformer). If you want the F1-0.94 variant, setCCIP_MODEL=ccip-caformer_b36-24(verify the exact string in imgutils).
If FC's matcher under/over-fires, tune the cosine threshold in
backend/app/services/ml/ccip.py (DEFAULT_SIM_THRESHOLD) and use
GET /api/ccip/overview + /api/ccip/images/<id> to spot-check.
CPU fallback
Swap onnxruntime-gpu → onnxruntime in requirements.txt and drop --gpus all
to grind it slowly on the server instead. Same agent, no card.
