ChaosNexus Crucible Configuration

Crucible reads crucible.toml from the process working directory. If the file is missing, built-in defaults are used.

Example

# crucible.toml
backend = "candle"                 # "candle" (default) or "colibri"
model_path = "models/granite-4.1-8b"
port = 8080

Fields

Field	Default	Notes
backend	candle	Selects Candle vs Colibri inference implementation
model_path	models/granite-4.1-8b	Path passed to backend initialize
port	8080	Local HTTP bind port (127.0.0.1)

Invalid TOML falls back to defaults.

Generation request params

These are not in crucible.toml; they are per-request on POST /generate:

JSON field	Typical default (engine)
max_new_tokens	128
temperature	0.7
top_p	0.95
top_k	40
anvil_port / anvil_token	omitted (no MCP connect)
