mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 3a02f29edc fix(proxy): propagate model env and accept direct keys (#12940)
* feat(proxy): accept direct upstream API keys

Support direct credentials for models created in the UI. Keep env and
file references as mutually exclusive alternatives. Use model env for
frontend probes and omit credentials from structured config logs.

* feat(distributed): isolate model environments in worker processes

Forward complete model environment snapshots through backend installation.
Restart worker children when overrides change or are removed, and include
keyed snapshot identities in frontend install coalescing.

Cover wire compatibility, routing, real worker children, and option copying;
document rollout requirements and control-transport security.

* fix(worker): serialize installs by model replica

Different backend names can target the same process slot. Hold a slot
lock through startup, readiness, and operation attachment so concurrent
installs cannot reuse another configuration or an unready child.

Keep the endpoint command stub aligned with the environment-aware install

Stefan Walcz 6d7e8171be feat(agents): per-model output cap for agent job completions
Agent jobs (/api/agent/jobs, local and on distributed agent workers) run
cogito against a LocalAI client that sends no max_tokens of its own, so
every completion gets the client's fixed default of 16384. max_iterations
bounds the number of turns and loop_detection repeated tool calls, but
neither stops one completion that keeps generating, and 16384 is the same
for a small tool-picking model and a reasoning model that thinks at length.

Add agent.max_generation_tokens to the model config. When set, both job
paths apply it to the client with SetMaxTokens; requests that carry their
own cap still win, so cogito's length retry can raise it. Unset keeps
today's behaviour.

The specs run each job path against an MCP fixture and a recording LLM
endpoint and check the max_tokens the completions carry; they fail when
either call site drops the cap.

pos-ei-don 073adc50c9 feat(sglang): map reasoning_effort to per-level thinking budgets
The Go side already forwards the request's effort as
Metadata["reasoning_effort"], but the sglang backend only read
enable_thinking: every level got the same model-level thinking_budget,
so low/medium/high produced identical reasoning.

- New model option `effort_budgets:low=…;medium=…;high=…` picks the
  budget of the request's level; unlisted levels and requests without an
  effort keep `thinking_budget`. Parsing reuses _parse_thinking_budget.
- A level listed in effort_budgets turns reasoning on for that request,
  so levels the Go side does not know cannot silently disable it.
- ApplyReasoningEffort now treats `xhigh` and `max` as thinking levels.
  Before, they left DisableReasoning unset, so with a model default of
  "off" asking for more reasoning produced none.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 0b5cab414a feat(galleryop): limit concurrent backend operations (#12888)
* feat(config): add a limit for concurrent backend operations

Add --max-concurrent-backend-operations
(LOCALAI_MAX_CONCURRENT_BACKEND_OPERATIONS) and the runtime setting
max_concurrent_backend_operations. It sets how many backend install,
upgrade and delete operations run at the same time. The default is 1,
which keeps the current behaviour. Values below 1 become 1.

The runtime value is also kept in an atomic, so the scheduler that reads
it never races with a settings change. The setting shows in the Settings
page under Backends. This commit only adds the setting; the next one
uses it.

* feat(galleryop): run backend operations in a bounded pool

One goroutine read both gallery channels and ran each operation inline,
so one slow backend operation held every operation behind it, model
operations included. In distributed mode the manager also visited the
nodes one at a time and waited for each up to the install timeout.

Backend operations now go through a scheduler that runs up to
max_concurrent_backend_operations of them at once. Operations start in
the order they arrive. Install, upgrade and delete of one backend share
a key and never overlap; an operation that waits for its backend does
not hold a slot, so independent operations pass it. Cancelling a queued
operation drops it at once. The limit is read on every scheduling step,
so a runtime change applies without a restart. With the default of 1 the
behaviour is the old single worker. Model operations get their own loop
and stay serial.

In distributed mode the manager sends one operation to its nodes in
parallel, up to the same limit, and keeps the result in node order. A
per (node, backend) lock keeps a live operation and the reconciler from
sending the same operation to a node together; the reconciler skips a
row that is locked and checks that the row still exists before it sends.
Timeouts are unchanged.

The download progress timers were plain package variables. They are
atomics now, because operations can run in parallel.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto c60a2e47d6 feat(backends): timestral.cpp forecast backend and /v1/forecast API (#12885)
* feat(grpc): add a Forecast RPC for time-series models

Add Forecast to the backend service with columnar request and response
messages: flat row-major arrays, NaN for missing values, and one message
per series so a caller can send series of different shapes in one call.
The response keeps the request order.

Wire the RPC through the server, client, embedded client, connection
evicting client, in-flight tracking client and the base backend, which
answers unimplemented. core/backend gains a Forecast helper that stamps
the model identity and records a trace, like the other single-purpose
RPCs.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(config): add the forecast usecase

FLAG_FORECAST marks a model as a time-series forecaster. The timestral-cpp
backend declares it as its default usecase, so a config with that backend
needs no extra lines. The backend is also listed as a non-text backend, so
a forecast model is never offered as a chat model. It shows up in the
gallery filter and in the capability list.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(api): add POST /v1/forecast

Take one or more numeric series and return quantile trajectories for the
next prediction_length steps. Targets are [variates][steps] or a flat
array for one variate; JSON null marks a missing value. Past and known
covariates and categorical codes are checked for length before the
backend sees them. Quantiles default to 0.1, 0.5 and 0.9 in the backend.

The route is gated by a new default-on forecast API feature. The endpoint
is listed in the swagger spec, the /api/instructions index, the UI model
filter and the capability symbols.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(backends): add the timestral-cpp forecast backend

Wrap the timestral.cpp C ABI with purego, the way the other ggml
backends do: libtimestral is built from a pinned commit with ggml
embedded, and the Go binary loads it at start.

Forecast validates the counts against the array lengths, groups the
series by shape, makes one library call per group and puts the results
back in the order the caller sent them. Quantiles default to 0.1, 0.5
and 0.9, and a level the model does not have is refused with the list of
valid ones. A mutex guards the handle because the library is not
reentrant. Request size is bounded by two model options.

The unit specs use a fake library. The integration specs and a gRPC
spec run against the 5M F32 model that test.sh downloads and checks
against a fixed SHA-256.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* build(backends): register timestral-cpp in the build and the library

Add the CPU image to the backend matrix for amd64 and arm64, plus an
Apple silicon entry that is not built or tested yet. The image has no GPU
keys because the engine runs on the CPU only. Wire the make targets, the
path filter and the dependency bump bot.

The library entries were generated with backendcatalog. The images are
not published yet, so the release entries are unpinned until a
maintainer runs --repin. The gallery reader test now counts the names in
the library instead of a fixed number, so adding a backend does not
break it.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5 go-vet

* feat(gallery): add the Timestral forecast models

Add Timestral 5M, 28M, 123M and 209M as F32 entries, each with its F16
build as a variant. Q8_0 and the K-quants are left out until the quality
question is settled. Each entry runs on the timestral-cpp backend, on
the CPU only.

The weights use Mistral's Modified MIT licence, which bars use by
companies above a monthly revenue threshold. The first paragraph after
the summary says so, the licence file is installed next to the weights,
and the revenue-restricted-license tag makes the entries filterable.

The memory each build needs has not been measured, so no size is set.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-sonnet-5-5

* docs(forecast): document /v1/forecast and the Timestral models

Add a feature page with the request and response shapes, the error
cases, the model options and the licence note. List the engine in the

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 7c74d26555 feat(addons): run the add-on owner as its own workload (#12867)
* feat(addons): generate and load a static carrier key set

A split deployment needs the owner and the frontends to share
certificates and a signing key that outlive a process. The loopback
carrier makes fresh keys at every start, so it cannot serve that.

GenerateCarrierKeys writes a CA certificate, an owner leaf and a
frontend leaf, and the frontend signing key pair. It drops the CA key,
so nobody can issue a third leaf, and it refuses to overwrite any file.
LoadCarrierConfig reads only the files of one role and refuses key
files that group or other users can access.

The owner never forwards, but NewCarrier still requires a signing key,
so the owner config gets a throwaway key in memory instead of the
frontends' private key.

* feat(addons): add util addons-carrier-keys

An operator who runs the add-on owner and its frontends as separate
workloads needs a way to make the shared key set. The command wraps
GenerateCarrierKeys: --out names the directory and --owner-host, which
can repeat, sets the names the owner certificate is valid for. It prints
which files belong on the owner and which on the frontends.

* feat(addons): add the owner and frontend roles to local-ai run

Every local-ai run process is its own add-on owner, so a distributed
deployment cannot scale its frontends: replicas that share a data
volume fight over the owner lock.

--addons-role selects combined (today's behaviour, the default), owner
or frontend. The owner and frontend roles also take --addons-owner-address
and --addons-carrier-dir, and the owner takes --addons-owner-listen. They
use the fixed carrier identities and the key set from the carrier key
directory. The frontend role has no add-on root, so it never creates the
add-ons folder. A bad role setup stops startup with a message that names
the flag.

* feat(addons): keep the frontend role away from owner state

A frontend holds no add-on state, but it still wrote the library
sources file of the data path, which is the owner's file. The frontend
role now skips the library option and reads only the galleries named by
the flags, and logs a warning when it has no account database, because
its pins are then kept per frontend.

The add-on manager rejects a relative root even for a forwarding
frontend, so the frontend config names the absolute path where an owner
would keep its state. Nothing creates or opens it, and a spec checks
that the data path stays empty.

* test(addons): run the owner and frontends as separate applications

The split roles are only useful if an owner and its frontends work as
separate processes that share nothing but the carrier keys and the owner
address. A spec now builds them as separate Application values with
their own data paths and keys from GenerateCarrierKeys.

It covers a frontend that lists apps and reads add-on status through the
owner, two frontends on one key set, a frontend that starts while the
owner is down and answers unavailable, a second owner refused on the
same root, and an owner that restarts on the same root and address and
still serves the installed add-on to the same frontend.

* docs(addons): describe running the owner as its own workload

An operator who runs several frontend replicas had no documented way to
stop each one from being its own add-on owner. The add-ons page now has
a section for the owner and frontend roles: one owner replica with its
own volume and a recreate-style rollout, a stable owner address, key
generation and per-role mounts, a Compose example, what a restart and an
owner outage look like, the models-path limit, and the frontend limits.
The singleton section names the roles and the distributed-state mode,
and the distributed mode page links to the new section.

* feat(addons): gate the addons feature in /api/features

One function, Application.AddonsFeature, decides whether the add-on
side is on. A combined or owner process answers true when add-ons are
enabled and the owner manager exists. A frontend answers true when the
owner answered the carrier's audience call within 2 s, and keeps that
answer for 10 s so /api/features does not dial the owner per request.

/api/features reports the result as "addons", and fine_tuning and
quantization take the same value, because both are add-ons. The
frontend cache is per-instance state.

* feat(addons): answer 503 on every add-on route when add-ons are off

With --addons-enabled=false the real add-on, fine-tuning and
quantization routes and services are not registered. One catch-all per
prefix answers the typed unavailable response of an absent owner, for
any path under it, so a client cannot tell which routes exist. The
response is the one the gateway already writes (gateway.WriteUnavailable
over typedError), not a second format.

With add-ons on, the same routes sit behind RequireAddonsFeature, which
reads Application.AddonsFeature, so a frontend that cannot reach the
owner gives the same answer. The per-user feature middleware still runs
after the gate. No endpoint is added, so the swagger, /api/instructions
and RouteFeatureRegistry surfaces do not change.

addonConfigFor already returned the zero config before it read a role
flag when add-ons are disabled. Say so on the way out: when a role,
owner address, listen address or carrier directory flag is set, log one
info line that the flags are ignored. A frontend with
--addons-enabled=false needs no owner address and no key directory,
loads no keys and builds no carrier.

* feat(ui): hide add-on entries when the addons feature is off

The UI reads features.addons from /api/features. When it is false:
the sidebar shows no Add-ons entry and no pinned apps, the 404 page
lists no add-on destination, the shell does not call /api/addons/pins
or /api/addons/builtin, and /app/addons, /app/addons/*, /app/fine-tune
and /app/quantize lead back to /app. The Build hub tabs for add-ons,
fine-tuning and quantization were already keyed on features and now

no owner address or key directory. The fine-tuning and quantization

* fix(addons): give a frontend no add-on state root

OwnerConfig.validate required an absolute root for every role, so a

NewCarrier required an Ed25519 signing key of every instance, so the
owner role loaded a throwaway key in memory that it never used. The
owner never signs an outbound request, so it now needs none:
NewCarrier accepts an empty key when the instance is the owner and
still requires a whole key from a frontend, and a malformed key is
refused for both. LoadCarrierConfig no longer generates one. The owner
still verifies frontend signatures with frontend-sign.pub.

* Keep the owner address out of the add-on identity file

The owner address is runtime configuration, so storing it and comparing

ApplyLibraries call and the startup official-libraries step still opened
and wrote addons/sources.json in its data path.

Mark the frontend role in the add-on config, also when add-ons are off.
On a frontend, LibrarySources returns the unavailable error,
ApplyLibraries does nothing and the startup step skips the store. The
six /api/library/sources routes answer 503 with the body that the add-on
feature gate writes, and an X-LocalAI-Reason header names the cause.

cause: add-ons are off on this instance, the add-on owner is not

* feat(addons): serve library calls on the add-on owner

Add the carrier verbs a frontend needs to work on the library through
the owner: library-list, library-add, library-update, library-enable,
library-disable, library-remove, library-backend-resolve and
library-backend-releases. A call carries the operation in one
LibraryCall field of the wire request, so an old owner rejects it as an
invalid binding. Every verb but the three reads is a mutation, and the
reply is an envelope of data or a typed error, so a frontend gives the
status the owner's own routes give.

The owner serves them through gateway.LibraryAdmin, implemented in the
application on the same LocalAdmin as the owner's HTTP routes. It runs
the owner's administrator check before any store call.

Add two peer-authenticated reads that take no actor and leave the
audience reply unchanged: GET /addons/capabilities (protocol, calls and
the owner's OS and architecture) and GET /addons/library/snapshot (the
gallery-relevant source list and its version).

Split the backend install: Installer.Resolve is the owner's half
(resolve, pick the meta backend for the asker's capability, pin by
digest) and returns a Plan; the node that installs runs the collision
check and the gallery install itself. Move the source administration
behind library.Admin and add library.ReconcileInfos for a source list
read from the owner.

* feat(addons): forward library routes from a frontend to the owner

A frontend refused the library-source routes and did not serve the
backend library routes. Forward them instead, and keep the owner the
only writer of the sources.

The library-source routes work on library.Admin: the local store on a
combined or owner process, the carrier on a frontend. The frontend
checks the calling account (a legacy API key is refused with 401), and
the owner checks the administrator right again before any store call.
With add-ons off, a frontend answers these routes with a 503.

A frontend asks the owner for its source list every 60 seconds through
the peer-authenticated snapshot call and rebuilds its model and backend
gallery lists, and the official-libraries switch, only when the version
changed. If the owner does not answer, it keeps the last lists and marks
them stale. Changing official_libraries on a frontend is refused with
409.

The backend library install is split. The owner resolves the entry and
pins the image; the frontend runs the gallery install on its own node,
with its own size limit and strict mode. A frontend refuses library
calls to an owner that does not serve them, or that runs on another OS
or architecture.

* docs(addons): document library operations on a frontend

routes with what happens now: the library sources and the backend
library go through the owner, the gallery lists follow the owner every
60 seconds, official_libraries is set on the owner, and the owner and
the frontends must run on one OS and architecture.

Add specs for the split owner: a frontend lists sources through the
owner, a source added on a frontend reaches the owner and then the other
frontend after a refresh, a write with the owner down answers 503 with
the error envelope, official_libraries answers 409 on a frontend and a
change on the owner reaches the frontend's gallery lists, the lists are
kept and marked stale while the owner is down, a platform mismatch and a
legacy API key are refused, and a frontend installs a backend into its
own path from the owner's plan.

* feat(addons): check the shared models path with a probe

Exports write into the models path of the owner, and frontends load
models from their own path. A wrong mount fails silently: the export
succeeds and the model never appears.

The owner writes a probe file with a random nonce into its models path
at start. A frontend fetches the nonce over the carrier and checks at
start, then every 60 seconds, that the same file is visible at the same
absolute path. On a mismatch it logs an error, reports model_exports
false and blocks its export and import routes. The owner refuses an
export or import while its own probe is missing, and keeps running if
it cannot write the probe. An unreachable or older owner gives
"unknown" and leaves exports on.

* feat(addons): let frontends run the backend update check through the owner

In named-user mode a frontend has no user to act as, so the background
backend update check failed there. Add one read-only system call for
the release lookup. The owner accepts it only on the peer-authenticated
route from a pinned frontend, only for backend-releases, and without an
actor. Calls through /addons/forward cannot carry the mark, and every
user-facing call still goes through the administrator check.

* feat(mcp): expose the backend update check as a tool

Add list_backend_library_updates, a read-only tool for

library source routes stay out of the catalog: the assistant has no
per-call actor and no approval card for library changes.

* feat(api): add export status routes for fine-tuning and quantization

The add-on UIs could not know that model exports are blocked until a user
hit the refusal of the export route. Add GET /api/fine-tuning/status and
GET /api/quantization/status. Each returns {"model_exports": bool}, from
the same check that drives the model_exports key of /api/features.

The routes sit behind the add-ons gate, so they answer 503 when add-ons
are off. They are listed in the swagger spec, the instructions registry,

* feat(addons): disable exports when the models probe fails

The fine-tuning and quantization pages now read the new status route
and turn off the export form, the checkpoint export button and the
import button when model_exports is false. A short reason shows next
to the control. A failed or slow answer leaves the controls on, as the
server does for an unknown check.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto f1ff707b97 feat(addons): list and install backends from a library (#12816)
* feat(addons): add the add-on runtime, navigation and first-party add-ons

Add the add-on runtime to LocalAI: manifests, the host operation broker,
admin gating by account role, the add-on UI bundle builder and the SDK
for add-on pages. Move the navigation to Chat, Models, Add-ons and
Settings, with pinned add-ons in the sidebar and an Add-ons drawer.

Ship the first-party add-ons (voice, face, fine-tuning, quantization) as
packages for linux/amd64, linux/arm64 and darwin/arm64. Intel macOS
(darwin/amd64) is enabled in the platform files.

Squashed from the review branch. The tree is unchanged; the pre-squash
history is kept on a local backup branch.

* fix(gosec): tighten file modes and annotate false positives

Write job state, configs and imported models with mode 0600, clean
the paths that are read from disk, and mark the route tables, the
header name and the retry jitter as reviewed false positives.

* fix(addons): keep API keys off recovery mutations and same-site cookies

POST /api/addons/dispatch forwarded the recovery and update
mutations to the owner for any administrator key, which skipped the
browser-session rule of their own routes. Refuse those actions
there. Also apply the same-origin rule to the legacy token cookie,
not only the session cookie, because the global CSRF check lets
same-site requests through.

Do not fail the start of LocalAI when an add-on library cannot be
refreshed; log it and keep the installed add-ons up.

* fix(addons): refuse a reinstall that would migrate retained data unbacked

An upgrade takes a verified backup before the new package migrates
the data. A reinstall over retained data has no running generation
to stop, so the new package would migrate it without one. Refuse a
reinstall whose data format differs from the retained one.

* feat(ui): move settings under the operate hub

The Operate hub already has Settings as a tab, so the sidebar no longer shows a separate Settings entry. The /app/settings route stays, and the hub tab still reaches it. The navigation test now expects Chat, Models and Add-ons as the primary items.

* fix(addons): accept same-host browser requests that carry no fetch metadata

Browsers do not send Sec-Fetch-* headers over plain HTTP on an address
that is not localhost, so every add-on request from a LAN address was
refused as cross-site. Keep refusing a Sec-Fetch-Site value other than
same-origin. When the header is absent, accept the request only if its
Origin, or failing that its Referer, names the same host and port as
the request.

* fix(ui): show the server's reason when an add-on request is refused

A 403 or 400 answer showed a generic message and hid the reason in the
response body, so a refusal by the browser guard could not be told from
a missing permission. Show error.message from the body as the server
sent it, and keep the generic text when the body has none.

* feat(addons): run the add-on owner in the normal binary

The owner was only enabled when an embedding host set the add-on config,
so a normal run answered every add-on request as unavailable.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode
(default named-user, or local-owner; anything else stops startup).
The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the
carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory.
--addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely.

Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off
the owner stays off and a warning says how to use local-owner.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(addons): keep the loopback owner address stable across restarts

The single-node loopback transport took a new ephemeral port at each
start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to
start when the address differs, so every start after the first failed
with "invalid addon owner configuration".

Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port,
mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop
with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because
another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate
stay in memory.

* feat(addons): let add-on pages keep the host modules they were written against

A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a
few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a
host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it.

Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a
directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of
the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the
page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source
resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory.

Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host
components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models,
resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons,
the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of
the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state)
and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page.

The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the
query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls
through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests
that keep the copies equal to the originals.

* feat(addons): ship Studio and Talk as add-ons instead of built-in pages

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in
the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning
and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists
them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way.

Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio
and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform
matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the
shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with
the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage
keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them.

In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat
joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries
(the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses
(/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on
pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered
only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it.

The release workflow and its tests now list seven add-ons.

* test(ui): run the Studio and Talk specs against the add-on bundles

The pages are add-ons now, so a spec that draws one installs the real
built bundle first: the apps list names it and its module and style
sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves
them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk
fixtures call it.

Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the
model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the
legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the
add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group.

Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script
error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the
add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with
the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed.

* fix(ui): centre the icon of a built-in tile in its icon box

The drawer drew the icon of a built-in tile (Studio's palette was one)
in a bare 40px box. Only the placeholder box was laid out as a centred
grid with the 20px size, so the real icon sat in the top-left corner at
the size of the page text.

Give the built-in tile the same classes as the placeholder box, and
check in a browser that the icon is centred.

seven packaged add-ons. Describe the SDK additions the pages use:
components, hooks, icons, openApp and portal. Say on the Studio page
that it is installed from the drawer.

* feat(addons): register an official add-on library by default

Add gallery/addons/index.yaml, a YAML index of the four first-party
add-ons (fine-tuning, quantization, voice, face) in the library format.
The entries come from addonpkg catalog over locally built linux/amd64
packages, so the digests pin those images.

On the first start, when the owner has no sources.json, register the
raw GitHub URL of that index on master as the "official" library and
write the file. The file is then the record: a library the admin
removes stays removed, and an existing file is never changed.

and one drawer entry. Recognition, Library, Text to speech and From a
recording are tabs of that page, drawn with the same tab strip the
recognition page already used. The tab is the first path segment
(voice/library), as in the Studio add-on, and the form that adds a voice
is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new).

The old page names stay declared in the manifest. Each one redirects to

* test(ui): build the add-on bundles once for the whole run

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist

The "a result made through a hand-off records which result it came from"

cold load: the page shows "Loading" until the add-on module has run, and
the next assertion had the default five seconds. The load takes about
two seconds on an idle run and seven to ten under CPU load, so the spec
failed on a loaded machine with the hand-off note not yet drawn.

With the CPU throttled to 6x and eight busy loops running, it failed on

* fix(addons): carry the identity page styles in the Face add-on

The Face page is drawn with the shared identity views, but its style sheet
held only the clip and error rules. The page, card, model list, known-faces
table, enrol sheet and distance scale classes had no rules. They looked
right only when the host had already loaded the style sheet of its own
Faces page, which a visit through the add-on drawer does not do. Opened
that way, the cards had no gap, the model list showed bullets, and the
install buttons ran into the names.

The Face sheet now holds the same identity rules as the core sheet, so the
page looks the same whichever way it is opened.

The rules for narrow screens (single-column pairs, smaller tool padding,

The pins come from GET /api/addons/pins through the navigation context, and the apps from the add-on registry, which the drawer feeds on every list read, so the links follow the drawer.

* feat(addons): add a kind to library entries and read unknown kinds tolerantly

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is
absent), backend or model. Every index written before kinds existed stays
valid and its entries are add-ons.

A reader keeps the entries of the kinds it knows and skips the others
without reading their fields, so a newer kind never makes an older host
refuse the whole index. The refresh result and the library state report
how many entries were skipped and of which kinds, and the refresh logs a
warning. A kind that is not a plain kind name still makes the index
malformed. Search lists add-ons unless the caller asks for a kind, and
Resolve returns add-ons only, so an add-on install cannot be pointed at
a backend image.

A library policy may name the signer with an anchored identityRegex
instead of an exact identity, so builds from master and from tags both
verify. An add-on install refuses a policy that carries one.

* feat(backends): install a backend from a library entry

A library can now list backends. An entry of kind backend names the
image of the backend gallery by digest, and POST /backends/library/install
installs it on the local node. The gallery stays the source of truth and
its install path is the one used: the library resolves the entry, takes
the signature policy from the library, pins the image by digest and calls
the same install as the gallery. Installing a name that came from a
gallery, another library or by hand is refused and changes nothing.

The signature policy of a backend library names the signer with an
anchored identityRegex, so images signed by the merge workflow on master
and on tags both verify. A pattern that is not anchored is refused.

An install is bounded by a size limit per kind: add-ons keep 512 MiB and
a backend image defaults to 8 GiB, set with --addons-backend-max-bytes.
The limit reads the manifest after the signature check and before any
layer is fetched. The metadata of an installed backend records the
library it came from.

scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog renders entries from
backend/index.yaml and pins them against the registry. The pilot is the
CPU build of local-store, in gallery/backends/index.yaml. The library is
registered on the first start only with --addons-backend-library, which
is off by default.

* feat(ui): show the kind of library entries and install backends from them

The Browse tab lists the entries of every kind this host reads and marks
each one as an add-on or a backend. A backend installs through the
backend route and not through the add-on lifecycle: the confirmation
says that the backend gallery is not changed and that a backend runs
native code, and a refusal of the host, such as a name installed from
another origin, is shown with its own reason. The details give the kind,
the alias and the signer pattern.

The library editor can name the signer with a pattern. Without this a
save would drop the pattern of a backend library. The Libraries tab
reports the entries a refresh skipped because their kind is not read.

* feat(backends): report the steps of a library install as a job

A backend install from a library ran inside the request and showed
nothing until it ended. It is now a job of the gallery service, the
kind the backend gallery installs use. The request answers with the job
ID and GET /backends/jobs/{id} reports the step as the phase of the job:
resolving, verifying, size, fetching and writing, with the byte progress
of the fetch. A job that fails keeps the phase of the step that failed
and gives the reason. A second install of the same name is refused while
one runs.

The downloader and the gallery install report their stages through an
optional hook, so the steps are the real ones and not a guess. The
Browse tab lists the steps of the entry being installed, marks the one
that failed, and omits the signature step for a library that does not
require one.

The library installer also gets Updates and a route that lists the
installed library backends with a newer build in their library, for the
next change.

reinstall is not offered for a library backend, because the gallery does
not list it.

When the cached index of the library lists another build in the channel
of the installed version, the row says "Update available" and offers an
Update button. The button starts the same install as the Browse tab, and
the detail shows its steps. Nothing is upgraded on its own. The check
says nothing when the library no longer lists the installed version and
has several channels, instead of guessing one.

* feat(gallery): add the model library entry shape and its reader

A model library entry is the shared library envelope (kind, id, name,
version, description, license, urls, tags, icon, channel, policy,
schemaVersion) plus a model body: url, backend, size, files,
configFile, overrides, variants and promptTemplates. The envelope lives
in the catalog package so the other kinds can move to it.

A gallery entry converts to a library entry and back to the same
gallery entry. Floats are written so they read back as floats, and an
empty variants list stays distinct from an absent one, because both
occur in the real index.

The reader is strict: unknown fields, duplicate ids, a second document
and a flow-style list are refused. An entry of another kind is skipped
and reported, as in the add-on reader. The gallery index stays the
default and is not changed.

* feat(gallery): render the model library from the model gallery

scripts/models/cmd/modelcatalog reads gallery/index.yaml with the same
structs the host reads it with, converts every entry to a library entry
and back, and fails if any entry does not come back equal. It writes
gallery/models/index.yaml and the golden files for the tests. The
output is deterministic, and the gallery is only read.

The golden files are a digest pair for every entry (the gallery entry
and the library entry made from it) and a readable gallery and library
pair for each kind of entry: plain, with variants, with an empty
variants list, with a config file, with a size, with a backend, with
floats in the overrides, without a url, without files and with a
multiline description.

All 2212 entries of the index round trip. The gallery struct does not
read a few keys (last_checked, parameters and four stray capitalised
keys); the host drops them when it loads the index, so the library does
not carry them, and the command reports them.

* feat(gallery): add --model-index-source to read the model library

--model-index-source selects the file the host reads the models of the
official gallery from: gallery (the default) or library. With library
the gallery named localai reads the model library, from
--model-library-url or the file in the repository, and keeps its
configured name and URL on every entry. A gallery the owner added keeps
its own index, and add-on and backend galleries never take this path. A
library that cannot be fetched or read is an error and not a fall back
to the gallery, so the setting is never silent.

The tests round trip every entry of the real gallery index, compare it
with the golden files, check the rendered library file reads and agrees
with itself, and cover the strict reader, the kinds it skips, prompt
templates, number types, empty lists and the setting.

* feat(cli): add local-ai library to manage library sources

local-ai library has list, add, remove, enable and disable. It works on
the source store the server reads (addons/sources.json under the data
path), so it also works with the server stopped. A source has a kind
(addon, backend or model); the store records whether it is a shipped
default, and removing a default leaves a tombstone so it does not come
back at the next start.

The shipped model and backend gallery indexes are default sources next
to the official add-on library. Defaults are added at every start when
they have no record yet, and an existing file that holds no default is
left alone as before.

The --model-index-source and --model-library-url flags are removed: a
model library is added as a model source, and the gallery entry says it
is a library.

* feat(addons): let a source of your own win an entry over a default

ignored for that entry. When two sources the user added list it, search
and resolve are refused with an error that names the entry and both
sources, and nothing is picked silently. Among shipped defaults nothing
changes.

The tests cover a user source over a default, a tie between two user
sources, a default ignored once a user source wins, and the case where
disabling a source ends the conflict.

* feat(cli): map the gallery flags to library sources at startup

--galleries and --backend-galleries keep loading the same JSON. At
startup each entry they name also becomes a source the user owns, of
kind model or backend, so local-ai library list shows it. The mapping is
additive: an entry whose kind and URL is already a source (a shipped
default, one added with the CLI, or one mapped at an earlier start) is
not added twice, and a derived id never collides with another source.

The sources then decide which galleries the server reads: a gallery
whose source is disabled or removed is left out, and a model library or
gallery added with local-ai library add is added. A list set by the flags
still replaces the shipped defaults. If the store cannot be opened, the
galleries stay as the flags set them. The autoload switches are not
touched.

* refactor(library): use id for every kind and seed the default libraries

The backend entries of the library used addonId while the model
entries use id. Release now has the field ID, written as id for every
kind. ReadIndex reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, for
add-ons and backends, and refuses an entry that holds both names. The
backend index and the catalog generator write id.

The shipped libraries are default sources. The pilot backend library is
now on by default, like the official add-on library, and the model
library is a new default model source, official-models. The server
reads it next to the localai gallery. A source the user removed stays
removed, and a source the user adds is added to the defaults.

The model catalog header held a backtick that ended its raw string, so
the generator did not build. The header no longer has it.

* feat(library): choose the default model source by build

A build read both the localai gallery and the official-models library
by default, so every model was listed twice. Now a build reads one of
them. library.ModelSource names it: "library" or "gallery". The model
source that is not chosen is still shipped, as a disabled default, and
local-ai library enable turns it on.

The value is a Go variable set at link time with -ldflags, because the
same source tree makes both kinds of build and a constant would need a
commit to change. It is "library" in the source, so a build from
master, go build and go test read the library. Only the exact value
"gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
without a model source.

The Makefile sets it from LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE. When that is not set, a
commit that carries a tag gets "gallery" and any other commit gets
"library". .goreleaser.yaml passes the same variable and defaults to
"gallery". The release workflow sets it to "library" on a tag, which is
the cutover.

A default source is seeded once, so a data directory that an earlier
build seeded keeps its enabled flags. Switch it with local-ai library
enable and disable.

Tests assert the master default, the tagged default before the cutover
and after it, and that a mistyped value reads the library. The model
library header now says that CI checks it and when a build reads it.

* ci(library): check the model library and cut over on tag

No workflow checked gallery/models/index.yaml, so it could go stale
when gallery/index.yaml changed. A new workflow, model-library.yml, runs
on pull requests and on master when the gallery, the library, the
generator or core/gallery change. It runs the generator tests and the
library shape tests (the file decodes, it has the library shape, every
real entry round trips), then renders the library again from
gallery/index.yaml and fails on any difference with git diff
--exit-code. The error message gives the command that fixes it.

release.yaml gets the cutover. On a tag, a step sets
LOCALAI_MODEL_SOURCE=library before GoReleaser runs, and
.goreleaser.yaml links it into the binary. Without that step a tagged
build reads the gallery. The step is the one place to remove when the
gallery is retired.

* feat(library): make the model library the source of the gallery

The library, gallery/models/index.yaml, was rendered from the gallery.
Now it is the source and models are edited there. modelcatalog reads
the library and writes gallery/index.yaml, a generated copy that stays
only so releases before the cutover keep working.

The gallery file is written in the shape the host reads: the same
field order, floats such as 1.0 keep their form, and an empty variants
list stays apart from an absent one. The command converts every
library entry to a gallery entry and back, loads its own output the way
the host does, and fails when an entry comes back different.

The gallery copy drops what the library cannot carry: last_checked,
parameters and four capitalised keys (Base Model, Context Length,
License, Training Data). The gallery struct has no field for any of
them, so the host ignored them on load. Every run lists these keys and
how often the file being replaced still had each. Loading the old and
the new gallery with the host structs gives equal entries for all
2212 models.

The tests that read the library and the golden files follow in the
next commit.

* ci(library): check the library and that the gallery is its copy

The model-library workflow assumed the gallery was the source. It now
checks the library file, the new source. The library decodes, every
entry has the library shape, every entry converts to a gallery entry
and back, and the gallery reader loads the generated gallery and sees
the same names, file uris and digests. The workflow then generates
gallery/index.yaml again and fails on any diff with git diff
--exit-code. The message says the file is generated, not to edit it by
hand, and gives the command that regenerates it.

The tests in core/gallery read the library file now. The round trip
runs library to gallery and back on all 2212 real entries, a new test
compares the checked-in gallery with the generated copy so go test finds
a hand edit too, and the golden digests and samples are written from
the library. The version of an entry is no longer compared with a digest
of its content, since an edit to the library does not change it.

The docs say the library is the source, the gallery file is a generated
copy for releases before the cutover, and edits go to the library. The
agent guide for adding models says the same.

The list carries kind, default, removed (a tombstone), suspended and the
conflict message of a source that clashes with another one. A change to
a model or backend source applies to the running server. A deleted
source drops its gallery by address; a removed default keeps its record.

Add the runtime setting official_libraries (default on), with the flag
--official-libraries. When it is off, every shipped default source of
the three kinds is suspended: it is not read, stays in the store marked
default, and comes back when the setting is on again. Sources the user
added are not affected.

* feat(ui): list library sources of all three kinds in the Libraries tab

The Libraries tab of the Add-ons page now lists the sources of the
add-on, backend and model kinds from the new library routes. It has a
kind filter with counts, a Default badge, the state of each source
(enabled, disabled, removed, or off while the official libraries are
off), turn on and off, a Restore button for a removed default, and the
conflict message next to a source that clashes. Adding a source takes a
kind and, for backends and models, an index format.

Settings gets the toggle "Use official libraries" for the
official_libraries setting.

Add unit tests for the list and the kind filter, and a Playwright spec
that runs on a fresh test server started with --library-sources (its own
config, port 8097): it lists the three kinds, adds a model source,
disables and removes a default, checks the conflict message and the
official libraries toggle.

* feat(library): extend the backend body to carry what the gallery carries

The backend library entry only held an image and its digest. The backend
gallery holds more that matters at install and in the UI, so the library
could not replace it. Add the missing fields to the backend kind and keep
the strict reader.

New fields, all refused on an add-on entry:

- mirrors: ordered fallback images of the same backend, each oci://.
  The install pins them with the digest of the artifact.
- capabilities: a map from a host capability to a backend id. An entry
  with capabilities and no artifact is a meta backend. It has no digest,
  os or arch, is listed for every platform, and installing it installs the
  backend its capability names, in the same library and channel.
- license, urls, tags: display metadata, bounded and checked as text.
- icon: an https URL. The add-on ui.icon stays a path in the package. The
  host never fetches the icon.
- mutable: the artifact is a moving tag, such as a development image. The
  entry has no digest. The install resolves the tag to a digest, verifies
  that image and records the digest it installed.
- schemaVersion: the envelope version. A higher one is refused.

The index bounds grow to 8 MiB and 4000 entries, because the backend
library lists every image for every platform. Release now holds lists, so
the add-on staging compares it with Equal instead of ==.

* feat(library): render the backend library from the whole backend gallery

Add the conversion between a gallery backend and its library entries in
core/gallery, and make scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog build the
library from the gallery and the gallery from the library.

The library now holds all 1093 gallery entries as 1088 backends, because
five names appear twice in the gallery with the same content and are
folded. That is 934 concrete backends and 154 meta backends, written as
1240 entries: a backend built for several platforms has one entry for
each, with the digest of that platform image.

- 539 release entries are pinned by the digest the registry serves for the
  platform.
- 543 development entries (master-* tags) keep their tag and are mutable.
  The install pins them.
- 4 release entries are not pinned, because the registry has no image for
  them: cpu-qdrant-store, metal-qdrant-store, cpu-gemxcpp and
  vulkan-gemxcpp. They are marked mutable and no digest is invented.
  Render them again with --repin once the images exist.

The generator can import a gallery once, pin the release images again, and
write the gallery file from the library without the network. Before it
writes it converts every backend to the library and back and fails if one
does not come back equal. A policy is no longer written on each entry,
because the host takes the policy of the library source.

* test(library): check that every backend gallery entry round trips

Prove that the backend library can replace the backend gallery. The golden
input is the real backend gallery from before the library became the
source: 1093 entries, kept under core/gallery/testdata/backend_library
with the pins the library holds and the digest of each generated entry.

TestBackendLibraryRoundTripsEveryRealGalleryEntry converts each entry to
library entries, writes them as an index, reads them as a host does,
validates them and converts them back. It asserts that all 1093 entries
come back equal on every field the gallery reader uses, and logs the
count. The five names that appear twice in the gallery have the same
content, so the twin is checked against the first one and folded.

The other tests check the library file in the repository: every entry
passes the host checks, every backend round trips, every meta backend
names concrete backends the library has, a development entry keeps its
master-* tag and has no digest, and the golden digests still match. Unit
tests cover each field, the fields the library cannot carry, which are
refused rather than dropped, and entries of one backend that disagree.

An entry with no artifact, digest, os or arch no longer writes them as
empty strings, so a meta backend and a mutable entry stay short.

* feat(library): make the backend library the source of the backend gallery

Flip the source the way the model library did. The backend library,
gallery/backends/index.yaml, is where backends are edited. The backend
gallery, backend/index.yaml, is now generated from it by
scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog and stays only so releases before the
cutover keep working. It no longer has anchors or hand-written order, and
it holds 1088 backends: the five names that were listed twice with the same
content are folded.

Which source a build reads is set at build time, like the model source:

- core/library.BackendSource is "library" or "gallery". Only the exact value
  "gallery" selects the gallery, so a mistyped value cannot leave a build
  with no backend source.
- A build from master reads the library. The Makefile reads the gallery for
  a commit that carries a tag (LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE), and GoReleaser
  defaults to the gallery.
- A step in release.yaml sets LOCALAI_BACKEND_SOURCE=library, so a tagged
  build cuts over by itself.
- Both sources are shipped and one is enabled. With
  --addons-backend-library=false every build reads the gallery.

The server hands the shipped backend library to the gallery reader as a
library, so the Backends page lists it and installs from it the way it did
from the gallery. A backend library the user adds stays with the add-on
catalog. The shipped library is now a backend source, not an add-on one.

The new workflow backend-library.yml runs the tests, regenerates
backend/index.yaml and fails on a diff. It never reads the registry.
backendcatalog --add merges backends written in the gallery shape into the
library, so adding a backend does not mean writing platform entries by
hand; the agent guide says so.

* docs(library): describe the backend library as the source of the backends

  reads (master, tagged before the cutover, tagged after it), the
  --addons-backend-library switch, how to add a backend and generate the
  gallery, and what CI checks.
- addons.md: the full backend entry with the new fields (mirrors,
  capabilities, license, urls, tags, icon URL, mutable, schemaVersion),
  meta backends, development images pinned at install, and the backend
  library section in place of the pilot one.

feat(backends): --disable-backend-install refuses every backend acquisition

A hardening switch for deployments that must run exactly the backend set they
were tested with (production, air-gapped, immutable images, package-managed
hosts). With LOCALAI_DISABLE_BACKEND_INSTALL=1 every install and upgrade path
refuses — gallery, OCI/URL/path, node-scoped, auto-upgrade, boot-time external
backends — HTTP routes answer 403 up front, and a model whose backend is
missing is refused before any download: 409 on the API, an error on preload
and import. Whether a backend is present is asked of the execution target:
the local backend directory on a single node, the workers' listings on a
distributed frontend, which installs nothing itself. Backends already
present, including system-path ones, keep working.

Add --addons-enabled (default true) and --addons-ownership-mode

The node is its own owner: state lives under the data path, and the
carrier uses loopback keys made at each start and kept in memory.
--addons-enabled=false turns the owner off completely.

Named-user mode needs the account database. With authentication off

start. The owner stores its address in its identity file and refuses to

Choose the port once, keep it in the add-on state root (loopback-port,
mode 0600) and reuse it. If the port is taken at a later start, stop
with an error that names the port and --addons-enabled=false, because
another port would break the identity check. The keys and certificate
stay in memory.

* feat(addons): let add-on pages keep the host modules they were written against

A page written for the web UI imports React, the router, i18next and a
few shared components. The add-on builder refuses a bundle that holds a
host file, so moving such a page into an add-on meant rewriting it.

Add a compat mode to the shared builder. It answers those imports from a
directory of stand-ins that read the SDK, bundles the dynamic import of
the page code into the one output file, and collects the style sheets the
page imports. A relative import that is not in the add-on's own source
resolves to the file at the same path under the compat directory.

Widen the SDK for these pages, without a version change: more host
components (spinner, modal, lightbox, model picker) and hooks (models,
resources, voice profiles, operations, MCP client), a style on icons,
the icon names the pages draw, sdk.navigation.openApp to open a page of
the app (only addresses under /app, and the way back as the only state)
and sdk.portal. The shell passes the query string to the page.

The stand-ins cover the router (the tab in the path, the model in the
query), the translator over the host locale files, the core API calls
through sdk.core.fetch, and byte copies of the pure helpers, with tests
that keep the copies equal to the originals.

* feat(addons): ship Studio and Talk as add-ons instead of built-in pages

Studio and Talk were compiled into the web bundle and always listed in
the Add-ons drawer. They are add-ons now, like Voice, Face, fine-tuning
and quantization: a person installs and removes them, the drawer lists
them only while they are installed, and they are packaged the same way.

Move the pages, their components, hooks and helpers into addons/studio
and addons/talk. Each has a manifest, a UI bundle, a release platform
matrix and a catalog template, and is built by the compat mode of the
shared builder. The core API stays where it is: the pages call it with
the signed-in person's session. The history keeps its browser storage
keys. The unit tests of the moved helpers move with them.

In the core, drop the two pages, the Create group of the sidebar (Chat
joins Home and Models in the old layout), the built-in catalog entries
(the catalog is empty) and the talk locale namespace. The old addresses
(/app/studio, /app/talk and the generator links) redirect to the add-on
pages, with the model as ?model=. The Home /studio command is offered
only while the Studio add-on is installed and opens it.

* test(ui): run the Studio and Talk specs against the add-on bundles

sheet are served from the build output, the way the add-on owner serves
them. studio-addon.js holds that helper, and the Studio and Talk
fixtures call it.

Update the specs for the new addresses (/app/addons/studio/studio, the
model as ?model=), the session permission the add-on route needs, the
legacy redirects, the Home /studio command that appears only while the
add-on is installed, and the sidebar without a Create group.

Add specs for the add-ons themselves: every tab draws with no script
error, the shell titles the page once, the old addresses say so when the
add-on is not installed, a button of the page reaches a core page with
the way back, and the drawer lists both only after they are installed.

* feat(addons): make the Voice add-on one page with tabs

The Voice add-on had four pages: recognition, library, create and
speech, and the drawer listed two of them. It now has one page, "voice",
and one drawer entry. Recognition, Library, Text to speech and From a
recording are tabs of that page, drawn with the same tab strip the
recognition page already used. The tab is the first path segment
(voice/library), as in the Studio add-on, and the form that adds a voice
is a view of the Library tab (voice/library/new).

The old page names stay declared in the manifest. Each one redirects to
its tab and keeps the query string, so saved links still open.

the first segment of the target with the declared pages, so a target

Each worker built the Studio and Talk bundles into the same dist

not be loaded". Build once in a global setup before the workers start.

* feat(addons): add a kind to library entries and read unknown kinds tolerantly

A library entry now has an optional kind: addon (the default when it is
absent), backend or model. Every index written before kinds existed stays
valid and its entries are add-ons.

A reader keeps the entries of the kinds it knows and skips the others
without reading their fields, so a newer kind never makes an older host
refuse the whole index. The refresh result and the library state report
how many entries were skipped and of which kinds, and the refresh logs a
warning. A kind that is not a plain kind name still makes the index
malformed. Search lists add-ons unless the caller asks for a kind, and
Resolve returns add-ons only, so an add-on install cannot be pointed at
a backend image.

A library policy may name the signer with an anchored identityRegex
instead of an exact identity, so builds from master and from tags both
verify. An add-on install refuses a policy that carries one.

* feat(backends): install a backend from a library entry

A library can now list backends. An entry of kind backend names the
image of the backend gallery by digest, and POST /backends/library/install
installs it on the local node. The gallery stays the source of truth and
its install path is the one used: the library resolves the entry, takes
the signature policy from the library, pins the image by digest and calls
the same install as the gallery. Installing a name that came from a
gallery, another library or by hand is refused and changes nothing.

The signature policy of a backend library names the signer with an
anchored identityRegex, so images signed by the merge workflow on master
and on tags both verify. A pattern that is not anchored is refused.

An install is bounded by a size limit per kind: add-ons keep 512 MiB and
a backend image defaults to 8 GiB, set with --addons-backend-max-bytes.
The limit reads the manifest after the signature check and before any
layer is fetched. The metadata of an installed backend records the
library it came from.

scripts/backends/cmd/backendcatalog renders entries from
backend/index.yaml and pins them against the registry. The pilot is the
CPU build of local-store, in gallery/backends/index.yaml. The library is
registered on the first start only with --addons-backend-library, which
is off by default.

* feat(ui): show the kind of library entries and install backends from them

The Browse tab lists the entries of every kind this host reads and marks
each one as an add-on or a backend. A backend installs through the
backend route and not through the add-on lifecycle: the confirmation
says that the backend gallery is not changed and that a backend runs
native code, and a refusal of the host, such as a name installed from
another origin, is shown with its own reason. The details give the kind,
the alias and the signer pattern.

The library editor can name the signer with a pattern. Without this a
save would drop the pattern of a backend library. The Libraries tab
reports the entries a refresh skipped because their kind is not read.

in the style of the MCP dropdown. It lists each running add-on that ships
tools with a switch, and a badge shows how many are on.

The chat keeps the ids that are on (addonToolIds) next to the older
boolean, and both are saved with the chat. A chat that has only the boolean
means every add-on. The request sends addon_tools alone when every add-on is
on, and adds addon_tool_ids when only some are. /addons turns all on or all

addon_tools=true still offers the tools of every add-on the caller may use.

narrows that to some add-ons. The list counts only with the opt-in, and a
list that names nothing offers no tool rather than all of them.

The executor drops the tools of add-ons that are not listed and refuses a

* test(ui): check each add-on page has one title when not enabled

The shell names an add-on only where the add-on page cannot mount (not
enabled, failed, no UI, bundle not loaded, no such page). Once the page
mounts it draws its own title, including when it says it is not enabled
on this server, and the shell draws none. The shell code already works
this way; this change states the rule beside the unavailable state and
pins it in the specs.

The shell spec now expects exactly one title in the unavailable states.
The navigation spec checks the Face page without a face model (the
add-on title only) and the Face page of a stopped add-on (the shell
title only).

* feat(addons): upgrade add-ons on their own when the setting is on

A new auto_upgrade_addons setting (flag LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_ADDONS,
default off) lets the owner upgrade an installed add-on when its library
lists a newer version. It follows the backend setting: a startup flag, a
runtime setting, and the same schedule as the backend update check (a
first pass shortly after start, then every six hours).

Each pass fetches the library of every installed add-on, and for each
available update builds the same pinned upgrade command an administrator
sends and runs it through the same lifecycle path. The channel rules, the
signer identity, the digest checks, the SDK compatibility check and the
backup before the upgrade all apply unchanged. The only difference is the
gate: the owner acts on its own setting, so no administrator is asked.
A refused or failed upgrade changes nothing and is logged; a candidate
that failed is not retried until the library lists another digest.

With the setting off, nothing runs and upgrades stay manual.

* test(addons): cover the automatic upgrade setting and document it

The setting defaults to off in the config, the runtime settings and the

owner upgrades an installed add-on through the manager; with it off,
nothing changes, and a change of the setting at run time takes effect on
the next pass. The manager specs show the upgrade goes through the same
pinned path as the manual one, and that a corrupted package, a failed
signature policy, an incompatible release, a missing update checker and
a caller who is not an administrator each leave the installed version in
place. The new specs are added to the lifecycle case inventory.

The add-ons page describes the setting, its schedule and its default.

id, and every writer emits it: the index encoder, the package workflow
templates, the catalog generator and gallery/addons/index.yaml. The
digests in the index did not change.

DecodeIndex still reads addonId as a legacy alias for one release, so
an existing library and a library served by an older tool keep
working. An entry that holds both names is refused. The Apps UI reads
id and falls back to addonId.

Stefan Walcz b56b903c92 feat(config): let model aliases carry an opt-in profile block (system prompt, MCP, client tools) (#12661)
* feat(config): let model aliases carry an opt-in profile block

An alias can now act as a profile of its target through an explicit
`profile:` block carrying system_prompt, mcp (remote/stdio servers, plus
the new mcp.auto) and the new client_tools. ResolveAlias applies only
that block on top of a copy of the target, while Name, Model, Backend
and the persisted revision stay the target's. The loader key is
therefore unchanged and every profile runs on the target's backend
process; today a persona needs a separate model config, which loads the
weights a second time.

The block is opt-in so existing aliases never change: top-level fields
on an alias stay ignored, and an alias without a profile block resolves
to exactly the target. A profile block on a non-alias config is
rejected.

A profile with its own MCP servers caches its sessions under the alias
name (MCPSessionKey), because the cache slot keyed on the target's name
is invalidated whenever its config hash changes and two server sets
would tear each other's sessions down.

mcp.auto enables all configured servers on /v1/chat/completions when the
request does not name any in metadata.mcp_servers, which plain OpenAI
clients cannot send. client_tools: drop discards client tools and
tool_choice before the request is merged (chat completions, responses,
Anthropic messages), so only the model's own MCP tools are offered.
Both keys work on any model and inside an alias's profile block.

* fix(openai): only auto-enable model MCP when MCP is enabled and permitted

mcp.auto turns a plain /v1/chat/completions request into a server-side
MCP request. It now applies the same controls as the dedicated MCP
routes before any server is selected: the instance switch
(LOCALAI_DISABLE_MCP) and, with auth on, the caller's "mcp" feature,
checked with auth.HasFeatureAccess against the auth database that the
chat route now passes to ChatEndpoint.

A denied request is answered as a plain chat, without contacting a
server or adding tools, rather than rejected: the client did not ask
for MCP, it only reached a model that offers it.

Endpoint specs drive ChatEndpoint against a counting MCP fixture server:
MCP disabled and a user with chat but without mcp see no tools and no
connection; MCP enabled and a user with mcp get the fixture tool. The
user specs need the auth build tag (SQLite auth database).

* fix(mcp): resolve profile aliases in the MCP discovery endpoints

GET /v1/mcp/servers/:model, /v1/mcp/prompts/:model and
/v1/mcp/resources/:model looked the model up with GetModelConfig, which
returns the alias stub. A profile alias carries its servers in its
profile block, so the stub has none of its own and the endpoints
reported an empty list for an alias whose chat requests do use tools.

Resolve the alias the way the request middleware does before reading the
MCP config, and open the sessions under MCPSessionKey so discovery shares
the profile's session cache slot instead of tearing down the target's.

* feat(config): opt-in evidence check for profile aliases

A profile with server-side MCP tools (profile.mcp, mcp.auto) runs its
tools on the server and returns only the answer text. On the next turn
the client sends the history back without those tool calls and results,
and the model then tends to skip the tool and answer from nothing. In a
measurement on a follow-up question, 0 of 12 turns called the tool and
the answers carried invented numbers (e.g. "0" where the true value was
9); with the tool trail kept in the history the tool was called 12 of
12 times. A prompt instruction does not reliably prevent this, so the
check sits at the output.

New profile keys:

  profile:
    evidence_check:
      numbers: true   # enables the check
      note: "..."     # optional, defaults to an English note

Rule, per request and stateless: when the check is on, no MCP tool call
succeeded on the server during this request (a call that returned an
error delivers no evidence and does not count), and the final answer contains a
number (\b\d+([.,]\d+)?\b) that occurs in none of the request's input
(the profile's system prompt and every message as received, before
compression), the note is appended after a blank line. "3,5" and "3.5"
count as the same number. In a streamed response the note is one extra
content delta before the finish chunk. Choices that hand tool calls to
the client are not checked. The setting is only read from a profile
block, so plain models and aliases behave as before; a note without
numbers: true is rejected at validation.

Tests (Ginkgo): the number rule (invented number, number from the input,
no numbers, comma/dot decimals, system prompt as evidence, tool ran),
the overlay into the resolved config with plain alias, target and a
top-level key as counter-checks, validation, and ChatEndpoint specs on a
stubbed backend for both paths: note on an invented number, none for a
number from the request, none for a profile without the check, none
after a successful MCP tool call against an in-process MCP server, and
the note again after a failed tool call (arguments that are not JSON).

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto dce91ba7aa fix(backends): prefer installed development builds (#12782)
* fix(ci): capture and surface ginkgo errors in run-coverage.sh

The coverage script ran ginkgo per test root with `|| fail=1`, which
swallowed the exit code. Combined with `make --output-sync=target`,
which buffers all output and flushes at the end, the actual ginkgo
error was invisible in interleaved CI logs. Every test suite passed
but the script still exited 1, and the error message was buried in
22 000 lines of buffered output.

Each ginkgo invocation now captures combined stdout+stderr to a
per-root log file. On failure the last 80 lines are printed to
stderr so the error is visible in the CI log. On success the log is
replayed to stdout so test output remains visible.

The build flags (--tags, --coverpkg) are quoted correctly so values
containing spaces (e.g. --tags="debug auth") are preserved through
eval.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto c7ce0c602c fix: stop listing the models directory on request paths and cache GGUF header reads (#12683)
* fix(http): stop listing the models directory on embeddings and bearer requests

Every embeddings request read the whole models directory before the body
was parsed, even when the body named its model. On a network-backed
models directory this cost seconds per request.

Embeddings now binds the body first and looks up a default model only
when the body has none, like chat. The pre-bind default lookup and the
gpt-4o constant default are gone from that route.

The first-available default lookup skips the directory when the filter
cannot accept an unconfigured file. Every usecase filter rejects files
without a config, so the scan never added results for them. Match-all,
nil and name filters keep the scan.

The bearer token check is now an exact test: a configured name, or one
stat of that name in the models directory. The value is a literal, not a
regular expression, and a name that is not a local relative path never
matches a file.

* perf(config): cache GGUF header reads for model defaults

Model defaults re-parsed the GGUF header on every SetDefaults call, which
runs per request and at startup reload. Put a bounded LRU in front of the
parser, keyed by absolute path and validated by size and modification
time. The cached value is a snapshot of the fields the defaults use, not
the parser output.

A changed size or mtime is a miss. Missing files and parse errors are not
cached, so the existing fallback is unchanged. LOCALAI_DISABLE_GUESSING,
the empty-path guard, the alias early return, the panic recovery and the
context-size default are all kept in front of the cache.

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* feat(config): persist the GGUF header cache per instance

The header cache kept parsed GGUF results only in memory, so every restart
parsed each model file again before its defaults were known. Write the cache
to a per-instance file in the data path and load it at startup. A restarted
frontend with a fixed instance ID starts warm.

The file is versioned and records the estimator inputs (gguf-parser version,
candidate contexts, auto context size, offload count). A mismatch on any of
them makes the file ignored. Each entry keeps path, size and mtime, so a
changed model file is a miss on load. Writes run on one background saver,
debounced, through a temp file and rename. The entry bound applies to the
file as well. Without a data path the cache stays in memory only.

The GGUF header cache mixed two things: the mechanics (bounded LRU keyed

load) and the GGUF fields. Move the mechanics into headerCache[S], driven
by a headerCacheSpec[S] that names the file prefix, schema, fingerprint,
parser and the snapshot encode/decode pair. The GGUF cache becomes one
instance of it.

File names, the identity check, LRU size, debounce, atomic write and the
corruption handling are unchanged. The on-disk JSON keeps the "estimator"
key so existing files still load.

Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-haiku-5-5

* feat(config): share one GGUF header cache file between frontends

Every frontend used to write its own header cache file, named after its
instance ID, so a header read by one frontend was never reused by another.
The cache now uses one file, header-cache.json, in the data path, for all
frontends and for standalone mode. The instance ID no longer changes the
file name.

Frontends share the file in three ways. A save first merges the file's
entries in, so one frontend's write does not drop another's entries. A
miss reloads the file when its modification time has changed, and a hit
never reads it. Writes go to a temp file that is renamed into place, so a
reader never sees a partial file.

Two frontends saving at the same moment can still drop each other's last
entries. That costs one re-parse, never a wrong value, because every
entry is checked against its model file before use.

The shared file is valid only when every frontend mounts the same data
volume. The distributed-mode and model-configuration docs state this mode
and its volume limit.

cover the word directly before them on the same line. The preceding word
must consist of letters (plus '-' and the apostrophe): a word with digits -
an amount, a date, a room number - is never taken, nor is a protected term,
and the search never crosses a line break.

Stefan Walcz e16b9d04cc feat(pii): protected terms that pass the NER filter unchanged
A name model reads many business names as surnames. Measured with
privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German receipts and
invoices: the supplier name ("Hotel Seeblick", "Café Lindenhof", ...)
was masked as LASTNAME (0.78-0.98) or FIRSTNAME in 9 of 12 receipts
that carried one. The supplier is exactly what the upstream model needs
to categorise a receipt, and no score floor helps at those confidences.

pii_detection.protected_terms (inline) and
pii_detection.protected_terms_files (files inside the models path, one
term per line, '#' comments, re-read when size or mtime change) list
values that must pass unchanged. Each whole-word, case-insensitive
occurrence is replaced by a neutral placeholder before the detector
runs; every detection is mapped back onto the original text with the
placeholder parts cut out, so a protected term is never masked or
blocked, the detector never sees it as context, and event offsets keep
addressing the original text. A word extension (extend_to_next_word)
is dropped rather than run into a protected term.

Terms shorter than three characters are ignored. A missing or
unreadable file is logged and skipped: fewer protected terms means more
masking, never less. Paths are verified to stay inside the models path.

Opt-in, empty by default. Covered by Ginkgo specs in
core/services/routing/pii/protected_test.go (detector-visible text,
exact restoration, straddling detections, whole-word/case/line-wrap
matching, the segment path, file loading and reload), a YAML round-trip
spec, registry entries and the middleware/model-configuration docs.

Ettore Di Giacinto 180822c546 fix(mcp): require https for the oauth2 token_url
The client secret is sent to token_url, so a plain http endpoint would
expose it. Reject non-https URLs except for loopback hosts, which keeps
local identity providers and tests working. Document the restriction,
recommend client_secret_env over a literal secret, and note that rotating
a *_env secret needs a restart because sessions and cached tokens are

Stefan Walcz beaeb05e52 feat(mcp): support OAuth2 client_credentials for remote MCP servers
Remote MCP servers could only be authenticated with a static bearer
token. Deployments that put their MCP servers behind an OIDC provider
(authentik, Keycloak, Entra ID, ...) issue short-lived service tokens
instead, so LocalAI had to be given a long-lived key or could not
connect at all.

A remote server entry now accepts an optional "oauth2" block
(token_url, client_id/client_id_env, client_secret/client_secret_env,
scopes, endpoint_params). The token is fetched with the
client_credentials grant by an http.RoundTripper installed on the MCP
client's HTTP client, so streamable HTTP and SSE transports both use it.
The token is cached and refreshed at half of its lifetime; if a refresh
fails the current token is kept until 30s before expiry, after which
requests fail with an error instead of going out unauthenticated.

"token" and "oauth2" are mutually exclusive and inconsistent blocks are
rejected when the model config is loaded. Static tokens behave as
before. MCPRemoteServer now implements fmt.Stringer so the existing
debug logs that print whole server entries no longer write the token
or client secret in clear text.

Stefan Walcz 9b13408c94 feat(pii): extend a detection over the next word (extend_to_next_word)
Address models tend to tag a postal code with high confidence but miss
or under-score the town right after it. Measured with
privacy-filter-multilingual on 24 synthetic German invoices: the postal
code was masked every time, while the town after it stayed in the clear
in 6 of 18 cases (4 not detected at all, 2 tagged CITY at 0.43/0.47,
below the configured floor). Masking the code alone leaves the pair half
redacted: "[REDACTED:ner:ZIPCODE] Ludwigshafen".

pii_detection.extend_to_next_word lists entity groups whose accepted
detections also cover the word that directly follows them on the same
line, with the same action and group. Horizontal whitespace is skipped,
a line break ends the search, and nothing is extended when no word
follows, so a hit never grows over bare whitespace or onto the next
line (or across the segment separator on the multi-message path).

The option is opt-in and empty by default; existing detector configs
behave exactly as before. Covered by Ginkgo specs in
core/services/routing/pii/extend_test.go (fail without the change), a
YAML round-trip spec, a registry entry for the model editor, and the
middleware and model-configuration docs.

mudler-agentandEttore Di Giacinto 895d50385f fix(distributed): converge model configs across frontends (#12558)
* fix(galleryop): announce model changes before the preload

After a gallery install or delete, the replica that ran it replaced its
config loader, then preloaded every installed model, and only then
published the models invalidation. The preload does remote lookups and
checksums for each model, so on a large models directory peers learned
about the change minutes after the originator listed it. When the
preload failed or the operation was cancelled, the event was never sent.

Publish the invalidation, and apply the delete lifecycle, as soon as
the loader holds the new set. The preload still runs afterwards with
its own error handling. Its failure is reported on the operation, but
it no longer rolls back a deletion that peers have already applied.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(distributed): resync model configs from the models directory

Frontends refresh their model configs only when a models invalidation
arrives on NATS. NATS keeps no history, so a frontend that is
disconnected when the message is published never applies the change.
It keeps serving the old config, for example an alias that points at
the previous model, until some later change happens to touch it.

Each frontend now reruns the peer reconcile against the shared models
directory after every NATS reconnect, and every
--model-config-resync-interval (default 30s) when a config file
changed. The pass names no model, so only models whose file changed
get a revision transition, and an unchanged directory costs one read
of the config files.

The reconcile replaced the whole loader with a parse of the models
directory, which dropped models loaded with --config-file and
published a deletion revision for them. Configs defined outside the
directory are now kept, both there and after a gallery install.

* fix(nodes): stop stale frontends from retargeting alias rules

A scheduling rule keyed by an alias derives its target from the alias
mapping of the frontend that reads it. Every frontend keeps its own
copy of the model configs, so after an alias is repointed a frontend
that has not reloaded it still resolves the old target. Two frontends
then rewrote the rule's stored target_model against each other on
alternate reconciler ticks, and the outdated one scaled up the model
the alias used to point at.

The registry already records the accepted config revision of each
model. A frontend now derives a rule's target from its own alias
mapping only when its config revision for the rule's name matches
that record. Otherwise it keeps the stored target_model: it neither
writes the column nor reconciles replicas of the old target. The check
reads the database only for a rule whose stored and derived targets
differ. With no accepted revision on record, the old behaviour stays.

* fix(agent-worker): refuse an unserved LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT at startup

The messaging client now refuses a subject whose root no carrier serves.
An agent worker started with a custom LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT such as
tenant-a.agent.execute used to start and then wait on a subject the
frontend never publishes to. After the subject rules landed it exited
at subscribe time with an error that did not name the setting.

Behaviour change: the worker now checks LOCALAI_AGENT_SUBJECT before it
registers or connects, and exits with an error that names the variable
and says to use a served subject under the agent root, for example
agent.execute. The served roots are not widened: a custom root was
never delivered by the frontend, and a wider set would reopen the
drift the subject rules exist to close. The flag help and the agent
worker docs state the constraint.

* test(nodes): pin the reactions to ErrNoRoute

Three callers react to ErrNoRoute and had no spec: the reconciler's
upgrade drain falls back to the legacy forced install, the reconciler
marks the node unhealthy when a pending op has no route, and the
backend-op fan-out marks the node unhealthy. Each spec drives the real
caller with a scripted no-responders reply and reads the result from
the registry or the recorded requests.

A fourth spec pins the other side: a pending op that times out leaves
the node healthy and only counts the attempt, so mapping timeouts onto
ErrNoRoute would fail here.

* test(messaging): pin client subject checks and fail the carrier suite in CI

Add specs that call Publish, Request, Subscribe, QueueSubscribe,
SubscribeReply and QueueSubscribeReply on a client with no connection.
Each call must return ErrUnservedSubject for bogus.thing and
ErrUnsupportedWildcard for jobs.>. This proves that the subject check
runs before the connection is used, and needs no server.

The NATS conformance suite is the only check that runs the subject rules
against a real carrier. Before this change it skipped without output
when Docker was missing. Now it fails when CI is set, so a Linux runner
without Docker cannot hide it. It still skips on local runs and on macOS
CI, which has no Docker.

Add SubjectNodeBackendInstallProgress to the list of constructors that
must build served subjects, and ask contributors to extend the list.

* docs: state what ErrNoRoute may change, and group the distributed guides

The seams note said MarkUnhealthy was the only state change allowed
on ErrNoRoute. A pending backend op still records the failed attempt,
counts toward the reconciler's retry limit and is dead-lettered after
the maximum attempts. The note now says that MarkUnhealthy is the only
change to the node's own state, and that the per-op accounting is not
a verdict about the node.

The note also documents that the NATS conformance run fails under CI
when Docker is missing. The distributed-seams row moves next to the
distributed-state row in the topics table. The liveness ping spec
header now says no route is a reason to skip the worker, not proof
that the worker is gone.

2fa36e7147 feat(parakeet-cpp): speaker diarization, sound detection and live scene events (#12335)
* feat(parakeet-cpp): load diarization and CED models and companions

Repin PARAKEET_VERSION to parakeet.cpp PR #75's head, which adds
parakeet_capi_model_kind (ABI v8). Bind the new diarization, sound
event and combined scene stream C symbols through the same
purego.Dlsym probe pattern already used for the batched JSON entry
point, so the backend still loads against an older libparakeet.so.

Load now classifies the loaded GGUF by role (ASR, diarization or
sound) via parakeet_capi_model_kind and can load up to two companion
models from Options[] (asr_model:, diarization_model:, sound_model:,
paths resolved against opts.ModelPath), verifying each companion's
kind and freeing every context opened so far on any failure. Free
releases the primary and every companion. AudioTranscription now
names the loaded role when it is not ASR instead of a generic model
not loaded error. The dynamic batcher starts only when an ASR context
ends up loaded, primary or companion.

This is groundwork only: the Diarize and SoundDetection RPCs and the
live scene stream that actually use these new roles land in later
commits.

Zero all four alongside the CppFree calls.

Also route AudioTranscriptionStream and AudioTranscriptionLive through

* feat(parakeet-cpp): add speaker diarization

Implement the Diarize RPC for the parakeet-cpp Go backend, wired to
Nemotron-3-Diarization through libparakeet.so's diarization C-API.

Plain diarization uses parakeet_capi_diarize_pcm; when include_text is
set and an ASR companion is loaded, parakeet_capi_transcribe_and_
diarize_json fills each segment's text instead. Speaker labels are the
decimal index, or "unknown" for -1 (no diarized speaker overlaps).
min_duration_off merges same-speaker segments across a short gap
before min_duration_on drops the segments still too short, then ids
are renumbered. num_speakers/min_speakers/max_speakers/clustering_
threshold have no Sortformer equivalent and are logged at debug
instead of rejected.

Verified against the real Nemotron-3-Diarization + parakeet-tdt_ctc-
110m checkpoints on the two_speakers.wav fixture: correct A-B-A-B
speaker segmentation and matching speaker-attributed transcripts.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): add sound event detection

Wire the SoundDetection RPC to the CED tagger context (p.tagCtx)
loaded by Task 1's role classification. It runs the whole clip
through a one-shot parakeet_capi_sound_stream_* session (window
10s, hop 10s, top_k set to the tagger's class count so every
drained window carries a full score list), averages each class's
score across the drained windows, sorts descending, then applies
the request's threshold and top_k (0 keeps every class).

No tagCtx returns FailedPrecondition; a libparakeet.so missing the
sound_stream symbols returns Unimplemented. Every C call runs under
engineMu, and the stream is always freed, even when a feed or drain
call fails partway through.

Verified against a real ced-tiny-q8_0.gguf on the rooster.wav demo

driver.go's feedSlices) and returns Canceled if the caller gave up,
so a long clip can be interrupted instead of feeding to completion
regardless. The stream is still freed on every path, cancellation
included.

Also narrow engineMu to the C calls: the drained JSON document is
now decoded after the lock is released, splitting soundStreamScores
into a locked soundStreamDrain (opts, begin, feed, drain, free) and

* feat(parakeet-cpp): stream speaker and sound events during live transcription

Add two additive proto fields, LiveSpeakerSegment and LiveSoundEvent,
repeated on TranscriptLiveResponse. When a diarization or sound
companion model is loaded, AudioTranscriptionLive now runs a no-ASR
scene stream (parakeet_capi_scene_stream_begin) beside the ASR
streaming session, feeding it the same PCM slices and forwarding any
closed speaker or sound events alongside the matching ASR delta, or
on their own when a slice has no ASR output.

The scene stream is freed and reopened on a mid-stream Config reset,
flushed with is_last before the closing FinalResult, and degrades
gracefully (a warning, not an error) when begin or a later feed call
fails, so live transcription keeps working ASR-only. Existing live
behavior is unchanged when no companion is configured, and no scene
C call is made in that case.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): keep scene events off the ASR critical path in live

Emit each slice's ASR result right after the ASR feed, before the
scene feed for that slice runs, so a companion diarization/sound
model never adds scene compute latency in front of the delta or
<EOU> that drives realtime turn detection. Closed speakers/sounds go
out afterward as their own response, so a slice with both now
produces two responses, ASR first. The live feed log line now
reports ASR and scene wall time separately.

Re-check the diarization/sound contexts a scene stream was begun
with against the live contexts before every feed, under the same
lock: Free() can race between an ASR feed and the matching scene
feed and free the model the stream borrows. A mismatch now returns
without touching the C side. Freeing the stream itself stays
unconditional; the scene stream's destructor only releases its own
buffers and never touches the borrowed contexts.

Also recover a panicking stub inside the live test goroutine instead
of crashing the test binary, and reset the live decode-lag tracker on
a mid-stream config reset, matching what its own comment already
promised.

context silently overwrote ctxPtr/diarCtx/tagCtx, and Free() only
walks those three fields, so the original primary context was never
freed again.

Reject a companion whose role the primary already holds before its
GGUF is even loaded, freeing everything loadRoles opened so far, the
same way a wrong-kind companion is already rejected.

Also warn, rather than silently fall through, when
parakeet_capi_model_kind reports PARAKEET_MODEL_KIND_NONE for a

sceneBegin started the live diarization/sound companion stream with
the C API's default sound options, whose top_k keeps 5 scores per
window forever until drained. The live scene path never drains sound
scores (only the offline SoundDetection RPC does, with its own fresh
stream), so this window queue on the C side grew for the whole
session's lifetime.

Set opts.Sound.TopK = 0 before starting the scene stream: this
disables score retention while leaving sound event detection (onset/
offset), which the live path actually consumes, unaffected.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): merge diarization segments per speaker, harden Diarize

mergeCloseSegments only compared neighbors in the single start-sorted
segment list, so two same-speaker segments never merged once another
speaker's turn fell between them (A, B, A): the short B segment broke
the adjacency the merge relied on. Group segments by speaker first,
merge within each speaker's own start-ordered run, then re-sort the
result by start so interleaved speakers come back out in timeline
order.

Also harden Diarize's entry points the same way streamFeedDoc/
sceneFeed already are: diarizeCall re-checks p.diarCtx (and, on the
include_text path, p.ctxPtr) under engineMu right before the C call,
so a Free() racing between Diarize's own checks and the lock can no
longer reach the C side with a freed context. When the include_text
call returns NULL, last_error is now read from both contexts and
whichever came back non-empty is reported, since either side of the
pairing can be the one that failed. A WAV decode failure is reported
as InvalidArgument instead of an unwrapped/untyped error.

soundStreamDrain ran every C call under engineMu but never re-checked
p.tagCtx there, so a Free() racing between SoundDetection's own
tagCtx==0 check and this lock could still reach the C side with a
freed context. Re-check p.tagCtx under the lock and return
ModelNotLoaded when it was cleared, mirroring diarizeCall's own
re-check. A WAV decode failure is now reported as InvalidArgument
instead of an unwrapped/untyped error.

* test(parakeet-cpp): cover a mid-session scene feed failure

feedSlicesScene already degrades gracefully when a scene feed call
fails mid-session: it frees the broken stream and carries the ASR-only
session forward. Add a spec covering that path end to end: the scene
stream is freed exactly once, later audio slices still produce ASR
responses, and no speaker/sound events appear before or after the
failure.

* docs: fix the parakeet-cpp companion role table and realtime scene docs

audio-to-text.md's companion option table read "Use on" with a note
that the loader did not enforce the pairing; it now rejects a
companion whose role duplicates the primary's, so restore the
"Allowed on" wording and describe the real enforcement.

openai-realtime.md's live speaker/sound section claimed a mid-stream
session.update resets the companion stream and that it flushes on
session close; neither happens, since the realtime core opens one
live stream (and so one scene stream) per speech turn and closes it
at that turn's commit, with no mid-stream Config in between. Document
that lifecycle instead, state precisely that start/end are seconds
from the start of the turn's own audio, and note that the diarization
model starts a fresh session every turn, so a speaker index is only
meaningful within one turn. The example sound tag ("Rooster", index
17) did not match any real CED label; index 17 in ced-tiny-q8_0.gguf
is "Baby laughter". Replaced with "Chicken, rooster" at its real
index, 99.

* feat(transcription): carry speaker labels on words and streamed segments

A diarizing backend could label transcript segments, but two paths
dropped the label: TranscriptWord had no speaker field, so live
transcription words and word-level timestamps could not carry one, and
the stream=true transcript.text.done event left the speaker out of
its segments.

TranscriptWord gains an optional speaker (proto field 4, additive).
It flows through the live event and result mapping, the JSON word
output of the endpoint and the CLI, and transcript.text.done now
includes a segment's speaker when there is one. Empty labels are
omitted, so responses without diarization are unchanged.

* feat(importers): detect the parakeet.cpp diarization GGUF

The Nemotron-3-Diarization GGUFs are published in
mudler/parakeet-cpp-gguf as nemotron-3-diarization-<quant>.gguf. The
parakeet-cpp importer did not recognise that name, so a direct
`local-ai models import` of the file fell through to another importer.

A direct URL to the file now imports with the diarization usecase. A
repo import still picks ASR weights when the repo also ships the
diarization model, and falls back to the diarization weights only
when there are no others.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): label transcript segments with the diarization companion

A diarization_model companion only fed live speaker events and
Diarize; /v1/audio/transcriptions ignored it.

With the companion attached and diarize=true (the OpenAI endpoint's
default), unary transcription now labels each segment with its
speaker and splits segments at speaker turns; with word timestamps
each word carries its speaker. The stream=true final result labels
each utterance with the speaker who said most of it. Both use the
checkpoint's own diarization over the whole clip, as NeMo's diarize()
does. Words take the speaker whose segments overlap them most, or the
nearest segment within 0.5 s, the same rule as parakeet.cpp's
speaker-attributed ASR.

Docs: the diarization_model row and a paragraph on transcript
speakers; Nemotron-3-Diarization handles up to 8 speakers.

* feat(realtime): speaker segments from committed-turn transcription

Speaker events reached a realtime session only from the live
semantic_vad path, which needs a cache-aware streaming transcription
model. Committed-turn transcription (server_vad, or any offline
model) always asked the backend for diarize=false and dropped the
segments' speakers.

pipeline.diarization (off by default) asks the transcription model for
speaker labels on each committed turn and emits every labelled segment
as a conversation.item.input_audio_transcription.segment event, with
its text, before the turn's completed event. It is opt-in because some
backends fail a diarization request they cannot serve.

* feat(gallery): add parakeet-cpp-realtime-scene-tdt

parakeet-cpp-realtime-scene pairs the streaming EOU model with the
diarization and CED companions; its speaker and sound events need a
cache-aware streaming model. This entry does the same with Parakeet
TDT 0.6B v3 (multilingual, offline) for realtime under server_vad:
set it as both transcription and sound_detection and turn on
pipeline.diarization, and each committed turn gets speaker segments
and sound tags from one parakeet-cpp backend.

Files and sha256 match the Hub and are shared with the existing TDT v3,
diarization and CED-Tiny entries. A real-model spec checks the
combination on a clip with two speakers and a rooster: A-B-A-B speaker
turns, and "Chicken, rooster" among the sound tags. The test loader
now binds the sound entry points like main.go.

* feat(gallery): add CED-Base variants of the parakeet-cpp scene models

parakeet-cpp-realtime-scene and parakeet-cpp-realtime-scene-tdt ship
with CED-Tiny. The -base variants use CED-Base (86M), which tags sounds
more confidently (on the rooster clip "Crowing" 0.65 against 0.49 for
Tiny).

Measured on CPU over a 37 s clip: the live diarization + sound stream
runs at 0.125 of real time with CED-Base against 0.103 with CED-Tiny,
because diarization dominates; sound detection per committed turn costs
0.031 against 0.005. The realtime docs list both and note that any CED
size works as sound_model.

Files and sha256 match the Hub and are shared with the existing
parakeet-cpp-ced-base entry. The TDT variant passes the real-model
scene spec with CED-Base (A-B-A-B speakers, "Chicken, rooster" found).

Ettore Di Giacinto 27ceda46b0 refactor: name the realtime pipeline stages with constants
Review asked for constants instead of the stage literals ("vad",
"transcription", "llm", "tts", "sound_detection") passed to resolveStage,
stageCall and isChainStage, so the uses can be cross-checked. Add
PipelineStage* constants next to the Pipeline type in core/config: the
names match its yaml keys, and core/backend (preload roles) and the openai
realtime endpoint both need them.

Use them in realtime_model.go (stage routing and preload roles),
realtime.go (the voice_recognition preload role) and core/backend
preload.go. model_failover events take their stage from the stageChains
keys, so they now carry the constants too. The failover tests use the
constants for inputs and keep literal wire values in their event
assertions.

hook and loader warning, and the PII middleware metadata in the routes and

Rerank no longer sends top_n 0, which the upstream rejects. A

reaches the upstream as messages.
