      "content": "I have a general picture, but it’s probably safest to confirm specifics before we start wiring.  \n\nHere’s what I *think* the current Lyra stack looks like — tell me if anything here is outdated:  \n\n---\n\n### 🧠 Core Stack (as of late Oct 2025 — my recall)\n- **Proxmox host**: Ryzen server running multiple VMs  \n- **ct201 (Cortex-GPU VM)** → running ROCm PyTorch backend on MI50  \n  - Hosts model(s): Mythomax-L2-13B via PyTorch  \n  - Currently exposes a local REST API at `http://10.0.0.43:7079/generate`  \n  - Functions as a *reasoning layer* or “heavy thinker” node\n- **Lyra-Core** → main coordination VM / container  \n  - Handles relay traffic (`lyra-relay` on port 7078)  \n  - Mirrors user input into `lyra_memory` (port 7077)  \n  - Intended to route requests to different backends (OpenAI cloud, Ollama on 3090, llama.cpp in Cortex VM, etc.)\n- **Intake (formerly Thalamus)** → summarization / batching / reflection loop (prototype stage)\n- **NVGRAM** → memory layer v0.1.1, used for persistent recall  \n- **Persona / Sidecar** → manages Lyra’s identity, tone, and protocol rules  \n- **Ollama** → local LLM service on RTX 3090 (used for general or lightweight inference)  \n- **LibreChat** → currently *removed* (not in active stack)  \n- **mem0** → *removed* (replaced by `lyra_memory`)  \n\n---\n\nIf that’s accurate, wiring ct201’s reasoning layer means:\n1. Defining it as a **new backend target** in the relay (like how it already routes to Ollama or OpenAI).  \n2. Giving it a short label (e.g., `\"reasoning\"`, `\"cortex\"`, or `\"torch\"`) in the routing config.  \n3. Deciding **when** the relay should use it — e.g. based on tags (`mode:deep_think`) or auto-promotion (long or complex prompts → ct201).  \n4. Testing that Cortex’s `/generate` endpoint matches the relay’s expected schema (`prompt`, optional `system`, and output `response` key).\n\n---\n\nCan you confirm:\n- IP/port of the ct201 PyTorch API (`7079` still correct?)  \n- Whether relay is already multi-backend aware (OpenAI, Ollama, etc.)  \n- Whether you want this connection to be **manual-switchable** (e.g. `/backend torch`) or **auto-dispatched** based on prompt type?\n\nOnce I know those three things, I’ll give you the exact wiring steps and test commands."

Thanks for the full snapshot.  \n\nGiven that setup, CT201 is now a **drop-in reasoning node** — it’s doing exactly what we need: clean PyTorch stack, stable HIP backend, local REST endpoint, and a proven `/generate` route.  \n\nLet’s wire it into the rest of Lyra one small step at a time.  \n\n---\n\n### **Step 1 — Add CT201 as a backend in the relay**\n\nWe’ll edit `server.js` (or whatever file defines your backends) so the relay knows how to talk to it.  \nLook for the existing backend definitions — you likely have something like this near the top:\n\n```js\nconst backends = {\n  openai: \"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions\",\n  ollama: \"http://10.0.0.3:11434/api/generate\"\n};\n```\n\nAdd CT201:\n\n```js\nconst backends = {\n  openai: \"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions\",\n  ollama: \"http://10.0.0.3:11434/api/generate\",\n  cortex: \"http://10.0.0.43:7079/generate\"\n};\n```\n\n---\n\n### **Step 2 — Route requests to it**\n\nWhere the relay chooses a backend (usually a line like `const target = req.body.backend || \"openai\";`),  \nensure `\"cortex\"` is accepted:\n\n```js\nconst target = req.body.backend || \"openai\";\nconst endpoint = backends[target];\n```\n\nNow you can manually direct any message to CT201 by including this in your JSON:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"backend\": \"cortex\",\n  \"prompt\": \"Explain the logic behind quantum superposition in simple terms.\"\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### **Step 3 — Quick local test**\n\nFrom **Lyra-Core** (the relay machine):\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7078/generate \\\n     -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n     -d '{\"backend\": \"cortex\", \"prompt\": \"Summarize the concept of expected value in poker.\"}'\n```\n\nIf the plumbing works, the relay should forward to CT201 (`10.0.0.43:7079`),  \nand you’ll see a normal completion returned from Mythomax.\n\n---\n\nOnce that test passes, we’ll move on to **Step 4:** teaching Intake to route deep-reasoning or long prompts automatically to the cortex backend.  \n\nWant to run Step 1-3 now and confirm you get a live completion through the relay?"

      "content": "Excellent — this relay file is very clean and well structured. You’re already doing persona injection, memory fetch, and flexible model routing (OpenAI vs Ollama).  \n\nHere’s exactly how to add CT201 (“Cortex”) as a selectable backend, without breaking anything:\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **Step 1 — Add a new model prefix**\nYou’re already branching on  \n```js\nconst isOllama = model.startsWith(\"ollama:\");\n```\nWe’ll add one for `cortex:` just above or alongside it.\n\nFind this block:\n\n```js\n// 5. Call LLM (OpenAI or Ollama)\nconst isOllama = model.startsWith(\"ollama:\");\nconst llmUrl = isOllama\n  ? `${OLLAMA_URL}/api/chat`\n  : \"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions\";\n```\n\nReplace it with this:\n\n```js\n// 5. Call LLM (OpenAI, Ollama, or Cortex)\nconst isOllama = model.startsWith(\"ollama:\");\nconst isCortex = model.startsWith(\"cortex:\");\n\nlet llmUrl;\nif (isOllama) {\n  llmUrl = `${OLLAMA_URL}/api/chat`;\n} else if (isCortex) {\n  llmUrl = \"http://10.0.0.43:7079/generate\";\n} else {\n  llmUrl = \"https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions\";\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **Step 2 — Adjust headers and body**\nJust below, where you define `llmHeaders` and `llmBody`, make sure Cortex uses the same simple JSON schema as your PyTorch API.\n\nReplace this section:\n\n```js\nconst llmHeaders = isOllama\n  ? { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" }\n  : {\n      \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\",\n      Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n    };\n\nconst llmBody = {\n  model: isOllama ? model.replace(\"ollama:\", \"\") : model,\n  messages: injectedMessages,\n  stream: false,\n};\n```\n\nWith this version:\n\n```js\nconst llmHeaders =\n  isOllama || isCortex\n    ? { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" }\n    : {\n        \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\",\n        Authorization: `Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}`,\n      };\n\nlet llmBody;\n\nif (isCortex) {\n  // The PyTorch API just expects {prompt: \"...\"}\n  const lastUserPrompt = injectedMessages.map(m => m.content).join(\"\\n\");\n  llmBody = { prompt: lastUserPrompt };\n} else {\n  llmBody = {\n    model: isOllama ? model.replace(\"ollama:\", \"\") : model,\n    messages: injectedMessages,\n    stream: false,\n  };\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **Step 3 — Adjust response handling**\nYour current response handler expects OpenAI or Ollama JSON.  \nCortex’s API returns `{ \"response\": \"text...\" }`.  \nSo, below this section:\n\n```js\nif (isOllama) {\n  res.json({\n    ...\n  });\n} else {\n  res.json(data);\n}\n```\n\nReplace with:\n\n```js\nif (isCortex) {\n  res.json({\n    id: \"cortex-\" + Date.now(),\n    object: \"chat.completion\",\n    created: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),\n    model,\n    choices: [\n      {\n        index: 0,\n        message: { role: \"assistant\", content: data?.response || \"\" },\n        finish_reason: \"stop\",\n      },\n    ],\n  });\n} else if (isOllama) {\n  res.json({\n    id: \"ollama-\" + Date.now(),\n    object: \"chat.completion\",\n    created: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),\n    model,\n    choices: [\n      {\n        index: 0,\n        message: data?.message || { role: \"assistant\", content: \"\" },\n        finish_reason: \"stop\",\n      },\n    ],\n  });\n} else {\n  res.json(data);\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **Step 4 — Test**\n\nRun:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7078/v1/chat/completions \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n        \"model\": \"cortex:mythomax\",\n        \"messages\": [\n          {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"Give a concise explanation of implied odds in poker.\"}\n        ]\n      }'\n```\n\nIf wired correctly, you’ll see a normal OpenAI-style JSON response containing CT201’s Mythomax output.\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to show you a tiny, clean diff patch version next (so you can `nano`-paste it directly)?"

The relay’s current job is to handle *user-facing completions*, which already works fine via OpenAI or Ollama.  \n\nWhat you want instead is to **link CT201 as a private reasoning module** that the relay (or Intake / Cortex) can *consult* during background “inner voice” or reflection cycles — not replace the chat output.  \n\nSo let’s realign to that architecture.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Current functional layers (confirmed)\n| Role | Source |\n|------|--------|\n| **User-facing completions** | Relay → OpenAI / Ollama |\n| **Memory injection** | NVGRAM (embeddings + recall) |\n| **Identity / style** | Persona Sidecar |\n| **Inner reasoning** | ⚙️ *Needs CT201 via PyTorch API (new)* |\n\n---\n\n### 🎯 Goal\nAdd a background function (like `annotateWithCortex`) that sends internal thoughts or “draft reflections” to CT201’s `/generate`, *not* to the user.  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ Step 1 — Add CT201 endpoint to `.env`\nYou already have:\n```\nPERSONA_URL=...\nOLLAMA_URL=http://10.0.0.3:11434\n```\n\nAdd this:\n```\nCORTEX_API_URL=http://10.0.0.43:7079/generate\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Step 2 — Update `cortex.js`\nYour relay already imports `annotateWithCortex` from `./cortex.js`.  \nLet’s make that function actually talk to CT201’s reasoning API instead of being a stub.\n\nHere’s a minimal version you can drop into `cortex.js`:\n\n```js\nimport fetch from \"node-fetch\";\nimport dotenv from \"dotenv\";\ndotenv.config();\n\nconst { CORTEX_API_URL } = process.env;\n\n/**\n * Sends a text snippet to CT201 for reflective reasoning or annotation.\n * Returns whatever the brain node says (usually JSON-safe text).\n */\nexport async function annotateWithCortex(prompt) {\n  if (!CORTEX_API_URL) throw new Error(\"CORTEX_API_URL not configured\");\n\n  const body = { prompt };\n  const res = await fetch(CORTEX_API_URL, {\n    method: \"POST\",\n    headers: { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" },\n    body: JSON.stringify(body)\n  });\n\n  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Cortex returned ${res.status}`);\n  const data = await res.json();\n\n  // Normalize to a simple structure for relay logs\n  return { reflection: data.response || \"(no response)\" };\n}\n```\n\nThis plugs directly into your existing relay without changing its flow — `annotateWithCortex()` runs *before* the user-facing model, logs introspection, and passes that metadata to NVGRAM.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Step 3 — Verify flow\nWhen `CORTEX_ENABLED=true`, the relay will:\n\n1. Call `annotateWithCortex()` → sends last user message to CT201.  \n2. Receive an internal reflection string.  \n3. Pass it along to NVGRAM metadata (`cortex: { reflection: \"...\" }`).  \n4. Continue to call OpenAI or Ollama for the actual visible reply.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Step 4 — Test\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:7078/v1/chat/completions \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n        \"model\": \"ollama:lyra\",\n        \"messages\": [\n          {\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Hey Lyra, what’s the meaning of implied odds?\"}\n        ]\n      }'\n```\n\nIf all’s well, you’ll see logs like:\n```\n🧠 Cortex annotations: { reflection: \"This question tests conceptual reasoning about pot odds...\" }\n```\n…but the visible reply still comes from Ollama or OpenAI.\n\n---\n\nIf that matches your intent — CT201 = *inner monologue brain*, not *mouthpiece* — then next we can wire Intake so that it periodically sends full conversation transcripts to CT201 for deeper self-analysis (“nightly reflection”).  \n\nWant to go ahead with this version of the cortex.js integration first?"

      "content": "Yes — that’s exactly the right next evolution.  \nInstead of Intake asking some smaller model for summaries *and* then pinging CT201 afterward, we’ll collapse those two steps so that **CT201 is Intake’s brain**: it performs both the factual compression *and* the reflection in one pass.  \n\nLet’s build this carefully in small steps.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 1 — Goal Recap\n\nCurrent flow 👇  \n```\nRelay → Intake → (SUMMARY_API e.g. Ollama CPU) → NVGRAM\n                   ↳ optional call → CT201 (reflection)\n```\n\nTarget flow 👇  \n```\nRelay → Intake → CT201 (MythoMax FP16)\n                   ↳ returns summary + reasoning\n                   ↳ Intake logs + forwards to NVGRAM\n```\n\nSo we’re just swapping `SUMMARY_API_URL` from the small summarizer to CT201’s REST endpoint and trimming the prompt a little.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 2 — Edit `.env`\n\n```bash\nSUMMARY_API_URL=http://10.0.0.43:7079/generate\nSUMMARY_MODEL_NAME=mythomax-13b-fp16\nSUMMARY_MAX_TOKENS=400\nSUMMARY_TEMPERATURE=0.4\n```\n\n*(we can later tune temp and max_tokens once we see token speeds)*\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 3 — Patch `intake.py`\n\nRight now Intake calls the summary model via:\n\n```python\nresp = requests.post(SUMMARY_URL, json={ \"model\": SUMMARY_MODEL, \"prompt\": prompt, ... })\ndata = resp.json()\nreturn data.get(\"choices\", [{}])[0].get(\"text\", \"\").strip()\n```\n\nCT201, however, expects a simple body → `{\"prompt\": \"...\"}`\nand returns → `{\"response\": \"text...\"}`.\n\nReplace the **`query_llm()`** function with this version:\n\n```python\ndef query_llm(prompt: str):\n    \"\"\"Send summarization + reasoning prompt to CT201.\"\"\"\n    try:\n        resp = requests.post(\n            SUMMARY_URL,\n            json={\"prompt\": prompt},\n            timeout=300,\n        )\n        resp.raise_for_status()\n        data = resp.json()\n        return data.get(\"response\", \"\").strip()\n    except Exception as e:\n        return f\"[Error summarizing: {e}]\"\n```\n\nThat’s the only code change you *must* make.  \nEverything else (your `summarize()` logic, hierarchical levels, etc.) will automatically start using CT201 as the underlying LLM.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 4 — (Option A optional) Give it both tasks in one prompt\n\nIf you want CT201 to *always* perform reasoning + summary, slightly adjust each summarization prompt.  \nExample replacement inside `summarize()`:\n\n```python\nprompt = f\"\"\"\nYou are Lyra Intake running on the CT201 reasoning node.\nSummarize the following exchanges accurately, then reflect on what they imply\nabout the user's goals, focus, or emotional tone.\n\nExchanges:\n{text}\n\nSummary and Reflection:\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nThat gives you outputs that look like:\n\n```\nSummary: Brian described connecting NVGRAM and Cortex into Lyra’s pipeline.\nReflection: Lyra recognizes that integration will unify memory and reasoning.\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 5 — Test\n\nRestart Intake and run:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:8080/add_exchange \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"turns\":[\n        {\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Let’s teach Lyra to analyze poker hands.\"},\n        {\"role\":\"assistant\",\"content\":\"Sure — we can store results by street and tag for opponent types.\"}\n      ]}'\n```\n\nIf wired correctly you’ll see:\n\n```\n🧩 Summaries generated:\n  L1: [L1 Summary of 1 exchanges]: ... Reflection: ...\n```\n\nand in CT201’s logs you’ll see the POST hitting `/generate`.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 6 — Next Optional Layer\n\nOnce you’re happy with that:\n- Intake can push those combined *summary + reflection* strings into NVGRAM automatically.  \n- We can later give Intake a “nightly consolidation” mode that batches 10–20 reflections and sends them again to CT201 for a continuity synthesis.\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to show you the **minimal diff** (exact code lines to replace) so you can paste into `intake.py` directly?"

Add an `/ingest_summary` endpoint in **lyra-cortex**.  \n   - It accepts summary text from Intake.  \n   - It calls CT201’s reasoning API and returns structured thoughts.\n\n2. Update **Intake** to send each L10/L20 summary to that endpoint.  \n   - No heavy thinking in Intake anymore — just compression.\n\n3. (Optional) Make **NVGRAM** receive Cortex’s structured reflections as a new entry type.\n\n---\n\nIf that’s what you meant by “the thought process should be programmed in Cortex,”  \nthen next step is to build that **/ingest_summary endpoint** inside `lyra-cortex` so it can talk to CT201.  \n\nWould you like me to show you that endpoint next (in FastAPI style, matching Intake’s codebase)?"

Summarize the following exchanges accurately.\n2. Then reflect briefly on what they imply about the user's goals, tone, or focus.\n\nExchanges:\n{text}\n\nSummary and Reflection:\n\"\"\"\n```\n\nDo the same style for L10/L20 if you want richer thought output.\n\n---\n\n### 4️⃣  Restart & Test\n\nRun:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST http://localhost:8080/add_exchange \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n        \"turns\":[\n          {\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"Let’s connect Intake directly to CT201.\"},\n          {\"role\":\"assistant\",\"content\":\"Okay, updating query_llm to post to /generate.\"}\n        ]\n      }'\n```\n\nYou should see:\n\n```\n🧩 Summaries generated:\n  L1: [L1 Summary of 1 exchanges]: Lyra Intake summarized ...\n       Reflection: Lyra reasons that connecting Intake to CT201 unifies digestion and thought.\n```\n\n…and on **CT201**, its FastAPI log will show the incoming POST to `/generate`.\n\n---\n\n### ✅  What You Have Now\n- Intake now uses CT201 (MythoMax-13B FP16) for all summarization + reasoning.\n- No need for the smaller summarizer model.\n- All summary logic and reflection come from the same powerful reasoning node.\n\n---\n\nOnce you confirm it’s running and producing coherent summaries,  \nour **next step** will be to route those summaries into `lyra-cortex` for higher-order thinking and NVGRAM logging.  \n\nWant to do that test next and check that Intake’s logs show CT201 replies?"

There are a few places the CT201 root login could be stored or recovered from, and a couple reliable ways to regain access if you can reach the VM console from Proxmox. I’ll give short, actionable options (pick the one that matches what you can access).\n\n---\n\n## Quick checks (fast, low-risk)\n1. **Password manager / notes** — check LastPass/1Password/Bitwarden, your Trilium notes, or any `secrets.txt` you keep. (Often the easiest.)\n2. **SSH keys** — maybe it was set up for key auth only:\n   - From any machine that might have your private key, try:  \n     `ssh root@10.0.0.43`  \n     If it works, you’re done. If not:\n   - Check whether WinSCP was configured to use a private key instead of a password.\n3. **Proxmox VM config (cloud-init / sshkeys)** — on the Proxmox host, run:\n   ```\n   cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf\n   ```\n   Look for lines like `sshkeys:` or `ciuser=` which indicate a key or cloud-init user. If there are `sshkeys`, you can copy that pubkey into your local `~/.ssh/known_hosts`/authorized keys workflow or use the same private key.\n\n---\n\n## If you cannot find the password or key — fastest recovery via Proxmox console\nThis requires Proxmox web UI access (you likely already have that). We’ll use the VM console to reset the root password by booting to a shell. Pick the variant that matches the VM’s OS (most likely a Linux distro).\n\n### A. Edit GRUB to get a root shell (works on most Linux)\n1. Open Proxmox web UI → select CT201 VM → **Console**.\n2. Reboot the VM via the Proxmox UI (or click the reset button).\n3. While GRUB shows, press **e** to edit the default boot entry.\n4. Find the kernel line (starts with `linux` or `linuxefi`) and append one of these to the end of the line:\n   - For systemd systems: `systemd.unit=rescue.target`\n   - Or fallback: `init=/bin/bash`\n5. Press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot with the edited entry.\n6. You’ll land at a root shell. Remount root read-write (if using `init=/bin/bash`):\n   ```\n   mount -o remount,rw /\n   ```\n7. Reset the root password:\n   ```\n   passwd root\n   ```\n   Enter new password twice.\n8. Sync and reboot:\n   ```\n   sync\n   exec /sbin/init   # or: reboot -f\n   ```\n9. After normal boot, you should be able to SSH/WinSCP in as `root` with the new password.\n\n> Notes: If your root filesystem is encrypted or uses LVM with passphrase, the above is more complex.\n\n---\n\n### B. If GRUB is password-protected or the VM uses cloud-init\n- Check `/etc/pve/qemu-server/<VMID>.conf` for `cloudinit` or `sshkeys`. If cloud-init is in use, you can set an SSH key via Proxmox:\n  1. In Proxmox UI → VM → **Cloud-Init** tab → set/replace SSH key or user password → **Apply** → then reboot VM. Cloud-init will inject it on boot.\n- Or attach an ISO (rescue image), boot it, mount the VM's root filesystem and `chroot` to run `passwd root`. Steps:\n  1. In Proxmox UI attach a rescue/live ISO to the VM’s CD-ROM.\n  2. Boot from ISO, open a shell, mount the VM disk, `chroot /mnt/yourroot`, then `passwd root`, `exit`, unmount, and reboot.\n\n---\n\n## If you prefer I walk you through one of the methods step-by-step\nSay which you can access right now:\n- “I have Proxmox UI: use GRUB edit” — I’ll give the exact keystrokes and commands to paste into console.\n- “I have Proxmox UI: use cloud-init” — I’ll walk you through putting a new SSH key into the Cloud-Init tab.\n- “I have physical/VM ISO access” — I’ll give the mount/chroot steps.\n\nPick one and I’ll lay out the exact short commands to copy/paste."

You must access via key or Proxmox console. |\n| **Debian** | `root` | *(no password)* | If no password was set at install, root login is disabled for SSH.

Then edit the shadow file directly:\n   ```bash\n   nano /mnt/etc/shadow\n   ```\n   Find the line starting with `root:` and replace the entire hashed part between the first and second colons with nothing (leave it blank).

      "content": "That message — `Authentication token manipulation error` — means the container’s internal `passwd` command can’t write to `/etc/shadow`. It’s not your typing; it’s that Proxmox mounted CT201’s filesystem read-only for security.  \n\nYou can fix that from the **Proxmox host** in about three quick steps.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 1. Stop the container  \n```bash\npct stop 201\n```\n\n### 🧩 2. Mount the container’s filesystem read-write  \n```bash\npct mount 201 /mnt\n```\nNow `/mnt` on the host is the full root of CT201.\n\n### 🧩 3. Reset the root password manually  \nUse this single command from the host:\n```bash\nchroot /mnt passwd\n```\nThat runs `passwd` inside CT201’s filesystem but with full write permission.  \nEnter a new password twice — you should see  \n`passwd: password updated successfully`.\n\n### 🧩 4. Clean up  \n```bash\nexit        # (leaves chroot)\npct unmount 201\npct start 201\n```\n\nNow you can:\n- `pct enter 201` (no errors)\n- or log in via console / WinSCP as `root` with the password you just set.\n\n---\n\nOnce you’re in, we’ll locate and edit `/root/lyra_pytorch_api.py` together.  \nWant me to stay with you for that next step once you confirm the new password works?"

      "content": "Perfect 👍 — that’s the simplest route.  \n\nOnce you’re in the container shell (`pct enter 201`), just:  \n```bash\ncd /root\nnano lyra_pytorch_api.py\n```\n\nand you’re editing the live API directly.  \nWhen you’re done:\n- **Ctrl + O** → **Enter** to save,  \n- **Ctrl + X** to exit Nano.\n\nYou can restart the API afterward with:  \n```bash\npkill -f uvicorn\nsource ~/torch-venv/bin/activate\nuvicorn lyra_pytorch_api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7079\n```\n\nThat will reload your edits instantly.\n\n---\n\nWant me to paste the exact snippet to make its `/generate` endpoint Ollama-compatible before you start editing?"
