Brain Runtime Topology & Deploy Model

Authority: 00_MISSION_CONTROL/runbooks/brain-services/RUNBOOK_Brain_Service_Topology.md.

Service topology with local agents on MCP 8788, operators and watchers on HTTP 8787, relational authority, Qdrant semantic projection, and GRIFF-Map hourly and realtime maintenance.

Plane	Live owner
Agent recall	`GRIFF-Brain-MCP`, loopback `8788/mcp`
Health/status + governed writes	`GRIFF-Brain-HTTP`, loopback `8787`
Runtime code	`02_MEMORY_BRAIN/runtime/griffai-memory`
Relational authority	`inventory.active.db` with WAL, FTS and graph
Semantic projection	`embeddings.db` and Qdrant `griff_memory_v1`
Structure projection	GRIFF-Map realtime delta + hourly full metadata FTS

Both Brain processes run High priority. CUDA is used for embeddings, semantic-edge maintenance and cross-encoder reranking. Qdrant is green and CPU-backed. Model residency can make working-set and dedicated VRAM usage look high while services are idle; judge availability by /health, /ready, lane diagnostics and the GPU/device receipts, not Task Manager utilization alone.

The final verified gates are: router matrix 11/11, full suite 1,570 passed with 11 skips, A+ 28/28, clean install 8/8 and platform boundary fail count zero. Counts such as memory items are live observations and must not be frozen as health requirements.
