* feat(settings): add declarative runtime-settings field registry
One fieldSpec row per RuntimeSettings field, with a reflection
completeness spec so a field added without a registry row is a red
test instead of a silently-dropped setting (the #10845 bug class).

* refactor(settings): drive ToRuntimeSettings/ApplyRuntimeSettings from the field registry
Behavior-preserving: ~350 hand-written per-field lines become two loops
over runtimeSettingsFields, gated by a To->Apply->To round-trip spec.

* feat(settings): baseline-driven startup merge for persisted runtime settings
ApplyRuntimeSettingsAtStartup compares the live config against
DefaultRuntimeBaseline (option-less-run defaults incl. kong-injected
flag defaults) instead of per-field == 0 guards. Fixes persisted
lru_eviction_max_retries, tracing_max_items, agent_job_retention_days,
memory_reclaimer_threshold, galleries and autoload flags being
silently ignored at boot.

* fix(settings): registry-driven startup merge, applied before consumers
loadRuntimeSettingsFromFile becomes a thin wrapper over
ApplyRuntimeSettingsAtStartup and runs at the top of New(), before
model configs capture app-level defaults. WithThreads stops eagerly
resolving 0 so a persisted thread count survives restart while
LOCALAI_THREADS still wins (#10845); the physical-core fallback moves
after the merge.
Also: run.go now injects the memory-reclaimer threshold unconditionally
so the option-less boot matches DefaultRuntimeBaseline and a UI-saved
threshold survives restart.

* refactor(settings): file watcher delegates to the registry merge; shared API-key merge
Manual edits to runtime_settings.json now behave like a boot-time load
(env still wins) instead of the inverted diverged-from-startup guard
that ignored most manual edits. MergeAPIKeys dedups env keys in one
place for the endpoint and the watcher.

* docs(settings): document unified runtime-settings precedence
Document the single env/CLI > runtime_settings.json > defaults rule,
applied identically at boot, on POST /api/settings, and on manual file
edits, plus the two known limitations (default-valued env vars are
indistinguishable from unset; API-changed fields hot-apply on the next
restart only). Also add a completion debug log when the watcher applies
runtime_settings.json.

* test(settings): reset the global VRAM cap leaked by the round-trip spec
The round-trip spec applies vram_budget=12GiB, whose post-loop hook
installs a process-global default cap; without a reset every spec
ordered after it runs under that phantom budget. Also drop a stale
enumeration in the ApplyRuntimeSettings doc comment.

The `--generated-content-path` and `--upload-path` defaults were the fixed
shared locations `/tmp/generated/content` and `/tmp/localai/upload`. On any
multi-user host these collide across accounts: macOS routes `/tmp` to the
shared `/private/tmp` for every user, so whichever account starts LocalAI
first creates the parent with 0750 perms and every other account then fails
startup with:
unable to create ImageDir: "mkdir /tmp/generated/content: permission denied"
unable to create UploadDir: "mkdir /tmp/localai/upload: permission denied"
The same happens on Linux once a stale root-owned `/tmp/generated` (e.g. from
a prior `sudo` run) is left behind. This bites the desktop launcher and any
app embedding the raw binary (Wingman, nib-desktop), which start `local-ai
run` with no path flags.
Default both paths under the OS temp dir (`os.TempDir()`, honoring `$TMPDIR`;
already per-user on macOS) namespaced by the current UID
(`TMPDIR/localai-<uid>/...`), so accounts never collide while the paths stay
ephemeral. Wired via new kong vars in main.go so every consumer of the raw
binary inherits the fix. All content subdirs (audio, images) derive from
`GeneratedContentDir`, so they are fixed transitively.
As defense in depth, the launcher also anchors these two paths under its own
per-user data directory (mirroring the #10610 fix for data/config), extracted
into a testable `BuildRunArgs`.

feat: add shell completion support for bash, zsh, and fish
- Add core/cli/completion.go with dynamic completion script generation
- Add core/cli/completion_test.go with unit tests
- Modify cmd/local-ai/main.go to support completion command
- Modify core/cli/cli.go to add Completion subcommand
- Add docs/content/features/shell-completion.md with installation instructions
The completion scripts are generated dynamically from the Kong CLI model,
so they automatically include all commands, subcommands, and flags.
