Last: That price changes my recommendation. At $1,350 the "just pay the difference once" logic I gave earlier is dead, because the difference is no longer ~$150, it's roughly $1,000+. ## Why this k…
Asked: Finn RAM upgrade sizing, dual-5090 local AI vs $200 Claude Max, real bottleneck, then live DDR5 SODIMM pricing.
Measured Finn: 32GB, 1.4GB free, 7GB swap but PSI memory=0 (tight, NOT thrashing); CPU idle; IO is the only live pressure (PSI io ~1.5). Corrected earlier "swap thrash" overstatement.
Pricing (DDR5 SODIMM spike): 64GB(2x32)=$739.99, 128GB(2x64 Crucial CT2K64G56C46S5)=$1,349.99. 128GB is cheaper $/GB ($10.55 vs $11.56); 64GB kit is dominated (expensive + dead-ends 2 slots + likely $740 rebuy).
Decision posture: skip 64GB; either buy 128GB once (CreatorTrack spine needs RAM) OR wait out DRAM spike since not in crisis. Local dual-5090 only justified by CreatorTrack media/GPU pipeline (transcode/Whisper/embeddings), not to rival Opus.
Next: optional — spec 128GB part + a 2nd Proxmox node candidate; map CreatorTrack pipelines to RAM/storage/GPU sizing.
Last: Logged. The pricing decision and the corrected bottleneck read are both in today's note. Net of this whole thread: - Finn isn't on fire. Tight (1.4 GB free) but PSI memory = 0, the 7 GB swap is …

Last: Here's the architecture. The honest headline: your bottleneck isn't the dev servers, it's shared-surface collisions and concurrent schema changes. Solve those two and the hardware question gets easy. …
Last: Your model is right, and you've correctly identified that the merge cost is inherent, not a flaw in the method. Two corrections that change the math more than you'd expect: **The databases aren't on …
Last: The honest answer: at 32 GB total for all of Finn, the production fleet already eats most of it, so your dev work lives inside Console's 12 GB and that's effectively the whole budget. You cannot run 5…
Asked: How to run ~5 AI agents in parallel on the integrated CreatorTrack app, each with live preview, then merge; what changes at 32GB/64GB/128GB Finn RAM.
Decided model: Per-agent git worktree + branch + own dev server + own Postgres DB (TEMPLATE-clone on CT 109, NOT on Console). Timestamped migrations to avoid 0039 collisions. Serial AI-reconciled merge at the end.
Key reframes: (1) DBs live on CT 109, so they don't eat Console RAM; dev servers (Turbopack ~1.5-2GB) are the only squeeze. (2) Decouple agent-editing (0.5GB, cheap) from preview-running; at 32GB total Finn run 5 agents editing but only 2-3 hot previews, round-robined, NVMe swap as cushion. (3) AI semantic merge (catches git's clean-but-wrong auto-merges) relaxes the disjoint-lane requirement; agents CAN all touch the shell. Reconciliation needs per-branch intent notes + full-combined-diff review + end-to-end validation; ~5 branches/wave ceiling.
Next: Offered to write per-agent bootstrap (worktree + TEMPLATE DB clone + env + tunnel hostname + dev-server toggle/round-robin supervisor) + merge-validation dry-run flow. Not yet built.
Last: Ah, Codex (OpenAI's coding agent CLI), not "code words." Different question entirely. Here's what would actually happen if you ran codex inside /home/justinwieb/forge. ## It would work, but b…
