The same text again was answered from what the engine kept of the last
reading, in a tenth of the time: the check read 4.9 s, then 0.5 and 0.5.
Each judgment now begins with a line of its own.

ctl guard judge check, and POST /api/v1/guard/judges/check, time three
judgments of a 280-token prompt, then a burst at once, against the
policies' wait: ok, tight or slow, about how many requests a second can
be judged, and what to do. server init runs it once the judge is up and
says a machine too slow before the next steps; the wait is not changed
without asking. BACKLOG reordered by what goes wrong where installed.

judge ask showed Qwen3Guard's controversial verdict as "safe (Violent)"; it
now says controversial, which a policy's judge.controversial counts. The
stray-judge note called a judge no policy asks any more "served as a model
clients use"; a model with role: guard is now said to be a judge no policy
asks.

Llama Guard 3 1B could not tell ordinary coding requests from harmful ones:
on the PoC it scored "continue" 0.51, "continue the code above" 0.89 and
"how do I kill all child processes in bash" 0.92 unsafe, against 0.97 to
1.00 for harmful requests, at Q4_K_M and Q8_0 alike, with its own template.
A site had "continue" refused. Qwen3Guard-Gen 0.6B gave the ordinary ones
0.15 at the most and the harmful ones 1.00, in 0.8 GB on CPUs.
- format qwen3guard: its prompt written out as its template writes it, for
requests and answers, and its Safe / Unsafe / Controversial verdict read;
controversial counts as the policy's judge.controversial says, safe by
default.
- judge.models: judges asked in turn, the first that answers deciding; a
failure is recorded against the judge that failed. guard judge use sets
the order, replacing categories none of the judges names.
- known judges (Qwen3Guard 0.6B/4B/8B, Llama Guard 1B/8B): guard judge
enable serves any of them, --gpu the 4B on the roomiest GPU class as a
standard model; the leader fetches and serves one a policy names that the
catalog lacks.
- server init installs qwen3guard-0.6b with the baseline's categories.
- a judge reads a long text by its start and end, which fit its context,
rather than overflowing it and refusing the request under fail: closed.

guard.enabled (unset is on) makes every policy check nothing while false,
live: llmgw ctl guard off/on set it in the cluster's settings, and ctl
status, ctl guard list and the guardrails page say when they are off.
A refusal by a judge names the hazard it saw - judge: S6,Specialized
Advice - and the verdict is kept with the request in a new usage column,
guard_rule, shown by ctl request, the request log and the guardrails page.
llmgw ctl guard judge ask has a judge read a text, past the cache, and shows
its raw answer and how it is read; the endpoint is kept out of the audit so
no text is recorded.

llmgw ctl guard judge status lists each judge model the policies ask:
in the catalog, as a judge, replicas ready, its last failure to answer, and
what is wrong in words. enable serves the missing one through model serve -
Llama Guard 3 1B on CPUs, role guard, under the name the policies give it -
with --replace for a model of that name that is not a judge; the console has
it under Do. GET /api/v1/guard/judges, and the summary's judges, put the
problem on ctl status and the console's Overview.
A Llama Guard file served from the mirror page is added as a judge, under
the name the policies ask, rather than as a model clients use the policies
never find. ctl says plainly when the API answers with a page.
