Decoy Deploy
DECOY SUP deployment — running ./deploy --decoy [scope flags], 5-phase spinup, behavior.json plumbing, audit semantics, hot-patch path. Three GPU tiers via --gpu {v100,rtx,rtx-a} (V100 → gemma4:26b, RTX 2080 Ti non-A pool → gemma4:e4b on B2R/S2R, RTX 2080 Ti A-pool → same model, separate physical cards). Inputs deployments/decoy-controls/config.yaml + /mnt/AXES2U1/feedback/decoy-controls/{controls (un-namespaced), {preset}_v{version}/{dataset} (feedback, needs --preset)}/. Outputs deployments/decoy-{controls,feedback-...}/runs/{run_id}/. Does NOT cover RAMPART AD enterprise (see /rampart-deploy) or GHOSTS NPC clients (see /ghosts-deploy). Cross-type CLI shape, fail-loud contract, and SSH key matrix live in CLAUDE.md.
From the source SKILL.md
DECOY = synthetic user persona VMs that simulate human computer use. Each SUP is a brain (MCHP / BrowserUse / SmolAgents) optionally driven by a PHASE-tuned behavior.json. Brain naming scheme [Brain][Version].[Model] is in CLAUDE.md.
