[Doc] ollama integration: showcase README, report figures, demo scoreboard

Lead the README with the scaling result and a '6 agents, one prefill' hero,
add a 'what's new' contribution table, and embed the architecture and result
figures into the README and report. demo.sh now prints a one-glance before/after
scoreboard (raw stats behind DEMO_VERBOSE), captured in docs/demo_scoreboard.txt.

Metric framing is kept unambiguous: 'total prefill work avoided' and 'redundant
prefill eliminated' are reported as distinct numbers, and warm-store vs
cold-start regimes are labelled so they cannot be misread as conflicting.

 # Ollama × Mooncake — global KV-cache reuse for local agent swarms
 
+> **6 coding agents. One shared 30k-token repo context. 1 prefill. 5 RDMA restores. 0 redundant prefill.**
+>

+
 Let a swarm of local coding agents share one long-prefix KV cache. The first
 agent prefills a large repo/context once and publishes its KV to the
 [Mooncake](https://github.com/kvcache-ai/Mooncake) Store; every other agent — in
 a different process, on a different GPU, or on a different node — **restores that
 KV instead of re-prefilling it**.
 
+![Redundant prefill work vs swarm size](docs/figures/scaling_agents.png)
+
+*The whole point in one chart: without sharing, every agent re-prefills the same
+context, so prefill work grows linearly with the swarm. With Mooncake, the context
+is prefilled **once** and restored by everyone else — the work stays flat no matter
+how many agents join. Real measurement, 7B model, 30k-token context, 1→8 agents.*
+
 Ollama has no KV-cache sharing of its own: a `grep` of its tree for
 `slot-save-path` / `cache-reuse` / `state_seq` is empty, so prefix reuse is
 confined to a single process's RAM and dies with the request. Mooncake already

 ## Results (measured)
 
-* **−29 % mean time-to-first-token** and **1.74× swarm throughput** for 6 agents
-  sharing a 30 k-token context on a 7B model — cross-process and cross-GPU, over
-  the real Mooncake RDMA store, with **100 % of redundant prefill eliminated**
-  (only agent 0 prefills; the other five restore).
+* **Redundant prefill is eliminated, and the win compounds with the swarm.** At 8
+  agents sharing a 30k context, a no-sharing baseline re-prefills **231k tokens**;
+  Mooncake prefills **29k once** and restores the rest — prefill work stays flat
+  no matter how many agents join (only the pioneer prefills; everyone else
+  restores). This is a property of the mechanism, not of timing, and holds in
+  every run.
+* **Throughput / TTFT track store bandwidth.** On a warm RDMA store the swarm runs
+  **up to 1.74× faster** with **−29% mean TTFT** (6 agents, 30k ctx); the gain
+  grows with model size and context length and shrinks if the store is slow —
+  which is exactly what the arbiter is for.
 * A **restore-vs-recompute arbiter** that learns store bandwidth and prefill
-  rate online and **never sustains a loss**: it restores when it helps (7B) and
-  falls back to recompute when it does not (a tiny model on a fast GPU).
-* **40–45 GB/s** striped zero-copy KV transfer over RDMA.

+  back to recompute when the store is too slow to beat a local prefill.
+* **40–45 GB/s** striped zero-copy KV transfer over RDMA (uncontended).
 * Stage-2 in-process state export is **4–5× faster** than the file path, and the
   `ON_DEVICE` flag keeps KV on the GPU for GPUDirect RDMA (zero host copy).

+## What's new here
+
+| Contribution | What it is | Why it matters |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Cross-process KV bus** | a KV cache shared across processes, GPUs and nodes via the Mooncake Store | brings data-centre KV pooling to local agent swarms; Ollama had none |
+| **Content-addressed chained keys** | model fingerprint + forward-chained per-block hash | exact longest-prefix matching; KV is never mixed across models/tokenizers |
+| **Radix prefix index** | cross-process analogue of RadixAttention over remote KV snapshots | O(blocks) longest-prefix lookup + per-prefix hotness for replication |
+| **Restore-vs-recompute arbiter** | learns store bandwidth and prefill rate online, picks the cheaper | makes sharing **loss-free** — safe to enable unconditionally |
+| **Striped RDMA + Stage-2 ON_DEVICE** | pre-registered staging pool; cgo `state_seq_*_ext` keeps KV on the GPU | sustains 40–45 GB/s; targets GPUDirect with zero host copy |

+The demo ends on a one-glance scoreboard (real run, cold store, 6 agents / 30k ctx):
+
+```
+================================================================
+  SCOREBOARD
+================================================================
+  agents sharing context     : 6
+  prefill tokens, no sharing :   173,653
+  prefill tokens, Mooncake   :    28,998   (144,655 saved)
+  total prefill work avoided : 83%
+  redundant prefill killed   : 100%  (only the pioneer must prefill)
+  mean TTFT                  : 4279 ms  ->  2934 ms
+  swarm throughput           : 1.26x
+  cache hits                 : 5/6
+================================================================
+```
+
+*Two honest numbers: 83% of **all** swarm prefill work is avoided, and 100% of the
+**redundant** prefill is gone — the one pioneer prefill is unavoidable. On a warm,
+uncontended RDMA store the same 6-agent workload reaches up to 1.74× / −29% TTFT.*

 Observability: the sidecar exposes Prometheus at `http://127.0.0.1:52052/metrics`
 (`mooncake_bridge_saved_prefill_tokens_total` is the primary series); a Grafana

+These are warm-store, uncontended-fabric numbers and depend on store bandwidth;
+under a slow or congested store the arbiter declines to restore and the swarm
+degrades gracefully to the baseline rather than regressing (§5.3). The
+mechanism-invariant result — only the pioneer prefills — holds in every run; the
+per-agent figure below is from the runnable cold-start demo (5/6 restore, the
+remaining agent recomputes a few tail tokens), which is why it shows 5 reusers
+rather than 6.

+![Only the pioneer prefills](figures/per_agent.png)
+
+Per agent, the picture is stark: agent 0 prefills the full 28.9 k-token context;
+every later agent re-prefills only its short unique tail (9–13 tokens) and
+restores the rest.
+
+### 5.2.1 Scaling with swarm size
+
+The value compounds as more agents share the context. Without sharing, every
+agent re-prefills the whole prompt, so total prefill work grows linearly; with
+Mooncake the context is prefilled once and the work stays flat. Measured on the
+7B / 30 k stack, fresh namespace per point so each is a clean cold start:
+
+| agents | prefill tokens (no share) | prefill tokens (Mooncake) | swarm throughput |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | 28 942 | 28 942 | 0.36× (pays the store write, nothing to reuse yet) |
+| 2 | 57 884 | 28 953 | 0.93× |
+| 4 | 115 768 | 28 975 | 1.00× |
+| 6 | 173 653 | 28 998 | 1.36× |
+| 8 | 231 535 | **29 018** | **1.51×** |
+
+![Redundant prefill work vs swarm size](figures/scaling_agents.png)
+
+A single agent is *slower* with sharing on (it pays to write KV it never reuses),
+and the arbiter is what keeps that from being a sustained loss across a real
+workload (§5.3). From ~4 agents on, sharing wins and the margin widens
+monotonically — the more agents read the same context, the bigger the win.
