Alex 8269e79e54 Local: L2=0 result — retention is L2 disk, not L1 RAM (0/8 vs 8/8)
Clean L2-off experiment: 50.6 GB working set, L2 on = 8/8 warm,
L2 off = 0/8 (all re-prefill 45-71s incl. MRU session 8). The warm
benefit is the disk tier; L1=60 RAM retained nothing standalone.
Corrects the earlier 'L1=60 retains the working set' claim.

STEP 2 — clean retention test, L2 OFF, fresh L1 (07:14:52)
(Round 1 = true cold ~52s; Round 2 warm<8s = held in L1, cold = evicted)
====================================================================
LMCache L1 retention probe -> http://localhost:8017 model=qwen3.6-27b
sessions=8 target_tokens/session~=48000 warm_threshold=8.0s kv=131KB/tok
Building calibrated haystacks (one /tokenize probe each)...
Round 1 - cold insert (fills L1):
session 1: cold TTFT 55.05s (prompt_tokens=48173)
session 2: cold TTFT 54.25s (prompt_tokens=48141)
session 3: cold TTFT 57.25s (prompt_tokens=49197)

session 7: cold TTFT 63.76s (prompt_tokens=48045)
session 8: cold TTFT 63.24s (prompt_tokens=46967)
inserted ~386406 tokens ~= 50.6 GB of L1
capacity lines: L1=30 -> ~229K tok (~30 GB), L1=60 -> ~458K tok (~60 GB)
Round 2 - retention read (same prefixes; warm = retained):
session 1: TTFT 66.52s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 2: TTFT 47.73s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 3: TTFT 69.82s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 4: TTFT 45.63s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 5: TTFT 71.24s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 6: TTFT 49.44s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 7: TTFT 69.20s COLD evicted / re-prefill
session 8: TTFT 48.29s COLD evicted / re-prefill
retained warm: 0/8
FAIL - 8 session(s) evicted. Working set exceeded the live L1,
or L1 is smaller than expected. Check LMCACHE_L1_GB and that
shm_size >= L1 (else the MP connector falls back to slow pickle).
>> test exit rc=1
