* 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.

* feat(addons): build no carrier for a frontend with add-ons off

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
follow the gate. An absent key (an older server) counts as on.

* docs(addons): describe the addons feature gate

The --addons-enabled row now says the UI hides the add-on entries and
every add-on, fine-tuning and quantization route answers 503. A new
subsection describes the addons key of /api/features, the 10 s frontend
cache as per-instance state, and that a frontend with add-ons off needs
no owner address or key directory. The fine-tuning and quantization
pages say they are off with --addons-enabled=false.

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

OwnerConfig.validate required an absolute root for every role, so a
frontend named a path under the data directory that nothing was allowed
to open. Only the owner has a state root now: validate checks it when
the instance is the owner, and the frontend role leaves Root empty.
Nothing on a frontend reads or creates it.

* fix(addons): make the carrier signing key optional for the owner

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
the whole file made a moved owner refuse its own root. The identity file
now holds the owner ID and storage ID only. An older file that still has
an address loads, and the address is ignored. A different owner ID or
storage ID is still refused.

identity match. Say so, and keep the caveat about absolute paths in the
journal.

* fix(addons): refuse library-source routes on a frontend

A frontend must keep no owner state, but the library-source routes, the
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.
Reads are refused too: the carrier has no verb for them. Owner and
combined roles are unchanged.

* fix(addons): put the reason in the unavailable body

WriteUnavailable wrote the plain text "addon request failed", and the
library-source refusal put its reason in an X-LocalAI-Reason header.

Write the LocalAI error envelope instead, with a message, a type and the
code "unavailable", and keep the 503 status. The message names the
cause: add-ons are off on this instance, the add-on owner is not
reachable, or library sources are managed on the owner. Remove the
header.

* 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

Replace the frontend limits that said a frontend refuses the library
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.

and say in /api/instructions that a frontend forwards these routes.

* 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
GET /backends/library/updates. The in-process client reads the
library installer, and the HTTP client calls the route. The six
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,
the route-feature registry and the feature docs.

* 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.

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.

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 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.

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

* 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.

* test(http): cover listing-free default lookup on every usecase route

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.

Documented as a per-instance exception in the model configuration docs.

* refactor(config): split the header cache into a generic cache

The GGUF header cache mixed two things: the mechanics (bounded LRU keyed
by path and identity, per-instance file, debounced atomic save, tolerant
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

Ettore Di Giacinto db929f4a08 test(config): assert every usecase flag is a distinct bit
FLAG_MOTION and FLAG_UPSCALE were both declared as 1 << 26 on separate
branches, and a merge combined the two const blocks without a conflict.
Add a spec that checks every flag from GetAllModelConfigUsecases() is a
single bit that no other flag uses, so a collision fails the tests.

FLAG_MOTION itself moves to 1 << 27.

Stefan Walcz 950c271710 [router] fix: re-seed the knn corpus index when the vector store comes back empty (#12267)
fix(router): re-seed the knn corpus index when the vector store comes back empty

The corpus manager records a store as synced by file fingerprint and
embedding fingerprint. The local-store backend behind it is an in-memory
gRPC process the model loader may evict (active-backend cap, memory
pressure) or the idle watchdog may kill, and relaunch on the next
request — empty. The file is unchanged, so EnsureLoaded returned early
and the router went blind: every probe fell back with similarity 0 while
corpus/stats kept reporting the full count.

Measured on a production router (LOCALAI_MAX_ACTIVE_BACKENDS=6, four
resident models + two router stores): loading any further backend
evicted a store, and the idle watchdog killed both after 15 minutes;
/stores/find returned 0 hits against a 100-line corpus file whose stored
vectors matched fresh embeddings with cosine 1.000.

Two parts, because the knn classifier is built once and cached
(GetOrBuildClassifier), so the sync at build time is otherwise the only
one for the process lifetime:

- corpus.Manager remembers one vector it inserted (probe) and, on the
  synced path, asks the live index for it. A miss means the index was
  relaunched — fall through and re-seed from the file (no re-embedding).
- The router middleware wraps the knn classifier's store so every
  lookup runs EnsureLoaded first; the loader gets the raw store, so its
  probe never re-enters the wrapper. A sync error fails the lookup
  closed, like the build-time load.

Specs: corpus package (relaunched empty store is re-seeded under an
unchanged file), middleware (relaunched index behind the cached
classifier is re-seeded instead of falling back; the spec is red without
the wrapper). The test fake now answers Search for inserted vectors.
Folds in the maintainer's follow-up (router-corpus-reseed-after-store-relaunch): reviewed and accepted.

52a6d62bbc fix: return correct HTTP status codes for saturation and no-nodes-available (#12113)
* feat: return 429 when backends are saturated

When backends are at capacity (per-model max_concurrent or the
process-wide --max-concurrent-backend-requests ceiling), the response
was 503. The OpenAI SDK, litellm, and most agent harnesses key on 429
for rate-limit backoff and treat 503 as a hard error.

Both saturation paths now return 429 with the existing Retry-After
header and type: "rate_limit_error" in the JSON body. The per-model
admission middleware keeps admission_rejected as the code field so
existing alerts that match on it still fire.

Non-saturation 503s are unchanged: model cold-loading (with progress
body), model-load failure cooldown, PII detector fail-closed, and
classifier unavailable. These mean "not ready" rather than "busy".

* fix: return 503 when scheduler has no available nodes

When the scheduler cannot find any healthy node to serve a model —
all nodes are full and eviction cannot free a slot, or a node_selector
excludes every candidate — the error fell through to 500. A 500 tells
clients something is broken when the condition is transient and
retryable.

The router now wraps these errors with a new ErrNoAvailableNodes
sentinel. The HTTP error handler maps it to 503 via applyNoAvailableNodes,
following the same pattern as applyBackendAdmission (429). Unrelated
scheduler errors (DB timeouts, registry lookups) still return 500.

Three return sites are wrapped:
- resolveSelectorCandidates: selector matches zero healthy nodes
- scheduleNewModel eviction-busy: all models have in-flight requests
- scheduleNewModel eviction-failed: eviction itself errored

The existing scheduleAndLoad wrapper ("no available nodes: %w") preserves
the sentinel through the chain via errors.Is, as does ModelRouterAdapter.

Ettore Di Giacinto 5ed67be0bf fix(failover): skip a target that answers HTTP 501 instead of failing the chain
The non-OpenAI endpoints (depth, detection, face_*, voice_*, images,
video, 3d) map a backend's gRPC Unimplemented to an echo 501 without the
gRPC status. The retry loop did not see a capability gap, and IsRetryable
is false for 501, so the client got 501 and the next target was never
tried. Treat a returned or written 501 as a capability gap.

Rerank no longer sends top_n 0, which the upstream rejects. A
mid-stream upstream error frame now fails the call instead of ending
it as a short success. Temperature 0 is forwarded. An upstream 429
becomes ResourceExhausted, which failover skips like Unimplemented.

A localai-proxy config sends its own name upstream when upstream_model

reaches the upstream as messages.

A chain request reached a cloud-proxy target with the client's model,

636c43baa5 fix(openai): return HTTP errors for pre-stream failures and report per-slot context (#12204)
* fix(capabilities): report the per-request context with split KV slots

With parallel slots and kv_unified:false, llama.cpp gives each slot
n_ctx/n_parallel, padded up to a multiple of 256. /models/capabilities
still reported the full n_ctx. A client that budgets a request against
context_size then overflows at a fraction of it.

EffectiveRequestContextSize returns the per-slot size in that case and
the full context otherwise. With the unified KV cache, the grpc-server
default, one request may use all of n_ctx. The capabilities endpoint
and the router's prompt trimmer now use it.

* fix(openai): return an HTTP error when a stream fails before any chunk

A streamed chat request set the SSE headers, then waited for the
backend. When the backend failed before the first token, LocalAI sent
a 200 with a `data: {"error":...}` chunk and [DONE]. Clients that do
not parse error chunks saw an empty reply. cogito's LocalAI client was
one of them: nib users got "streaming decision produced no content"
instead of the context overflow that caused it.

Nothing has been written at that point, so the handler now returns the
error as a normal HTTP response. A failure after the first chunk keeps
the in-stream error chunk.

A prompt that exceeds the context is now a 400 on both paths, as in
the OpenAI API and llama-server, and no longer a 500. The message is
kept whole, because clients read the token counts from it.

Ettore Di Giacinto df1a40f9c0 fix(distributed): hash the config as persisted, not as defaulted
The revision was computed after SetDefaults, which folds in things that
are not persisted configuration: the GGUF guess, the hardware defaults,
and app-level options such as threads.

The GGUF guess is the damaging one. It parses the model file to fill in
values like context size, and when that parse fails it falls back to a
different default. Whether a multi-gigabyte file on network storage
parses at a given moment is not a property of the configuration, so one
unchanged YAML produced two different revisions depending on when it was
read. The controller rejected every request carrying the other one, and
the model stayed unroutable until the stored value happened to match
again. This is why it never reproduced against a model directory with no
weights in it: the guess is skipped there and both values agree.

The app-level defaults are the same class of bug with a slower fuse:
changing threads in the settings UI changed every model's revision and
made every model unroutable.

The revision is now stamped when the file is parsed, before any defaults
are applied, so it is a function of the file alone.

syncKnownUsecasesFromString rebuilds KnownUsecaseStrings by ranging
GetAllModelConfigUsecases, which is a map. Go randomizes that order per
call, and the field is part of the serialized config, so one unchanged
YAML hashed to a different config revision on every load.

A model that derives a single usecase hid the problem. One that derives
several, such as a chat model with an mmproj, alternated between as many
revisions as there are orderings. The router treats a revision it did
not establish as a config change, so requests failed with "stale model
config revision" until the stored value happened to match again.

Sorting the list makes the revision a function of the file alone.

Ettore Di Giacinto 04735cd1f6 fix(distributed): stamp config revision at load time
The request middleware merges the caller's prediction parameters into
its copy of the model config. core/backend.ModelOptions then hashed
that copy, so the revision identified the request body rather than the
persisted configuration.

EstablishModelConfigRevision stores the first revision it sees and
requires an exact match afterwards. The first request after a restart
therefore pinned the model to its own temperature, top_p and stop
values, and every later request that sent different ones failed with
"stale model config revision". No config edit was involved.

The loader now stamps the revision when it materializes a config,
before any request override reaches it, and ModelOptions reads that
stamp. Model administration keeps hashing the same persisted config, so
both paths agree on one revision per configuration.

Richard Palethorpe d10374f849 feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus (#10652)
* feat(router): make KNN a first-class classifier with a persisted, curated corpus

Add `classifier: knn` — similarity-weighted voting over labelled
example prompts. Unlike score/colbert it needs no classifier model:
label knowledge lives in a corpus seeded and curated through the
admin API, so routing decisions are deterministic, auditable, and
grounded in graded experience rather than a model's opinion.

Epistemic gate: corpus entries below knn.similarity_threshold cannot
vote; when none clears it the classifier activates no labels and the
router uses the fallback — a prompt unlike all labelled experience is
treated as undecidable, not guessed. Decisions record
nearest_similarity (also on fallback rows) so admins can see how far
the nearest labelled experience was; the Routing tab explains
out-of-corpus fallbacks and shows per-label corpus counts.

Persistence: one JSONL file per router under
<data path>/router-corpus (text, labels, vector, embedder
fingerprint). The file is the source of truth; the local-store index
is rebuilt from it at classifier build time and stays a pure
in-memory index. Entries recorded under a different embedding model
re-embed on load. Also corrects the docs' false claim that
local-store collections persist — the embedding cache never survived
restarts (and still doesn't); the corpus does.

Corpus input is API-only by design (entries may contain example user
content): POST /api/router/{name}/corpus seeds (labels validated
against declared policies, embedded server-side, indexed
immediately), GET .../corpus/stats inspects — label counts only,
entry texts are never returned by any surface — DELETE .../corpus
wipes. Admin-gated like the sibling router endpoints, and exposed as
MCP tools (seed_router_corpus / get_router_corpus_stats /
clear_router_corpus) in both the httpapi and inproc clients with
coverage-test route mappings.

Plumbing: VectorStore gains SearchK (top-K was hardcoded to 1);
local-store gets InsertBatch/Delete as optional fast paths;
RouterConfig gains a knn block (embedding_model, k,
similarity_threshold, vote_threshold, store_name) with meta-registry
fields; the classifier dropdown now offers knn and the
previously-missing colbert; embedding_cache is ignored (with a
warning) for knn — it IS an embedding-KNN lookup; the stale
/api/instructions intelligent-routing entry is rewritten (it
described a classifier that no longer exists); swagger regenerated.

Tests: KNN vote/gate specs with hand-computed vote shares, corpus
manager suite (restart reload without re-embedding, fingerprint
re-embed, dedupe, hostile store names), middleware specs (corpus
routing, gate fallback, config validation, cache-wrap refusal),
corpus endpoint specs pinning the texts-never-returned contract, MCP
catalog + route-mapping gates, and a Playwright spec for corpus
stats and the out-of-corpus decision detail.

* feat(router): name consulted corpus neighbours in knn decisions

Every knn decision (decision log rows and the /api/router/decide
response) now carries neighbors: the K retrieved corpus entries by
descending similarity - including ones below the epistemic gate, which
is what makes fallback decisions diagnosable - each as {id, similarity,
labels}. The id is the entry's content hash (first 8 bytes of the
SHA-256 of its text, hex): stable across reseeds and re-embeds, and
text-free, so an external platform that seeded the corpus can recompute
text->id on its own copy and bucket decisions by corpus region (per-
region reliability accounting) without corpus text ever leaving the
server. A corrupt index payload surfaces as an id-less neighbour at a
real similarity instead of disappearing.

* refactor(router): deduplicate knn plumbing and cut corpus hot-path waste

Post-review cleanup of the knn-first-class-router branch; no behaviour
changes on the API surface.

Reuse/altitude:
- RouterKNNConfig.ResolvedStoreName is now the single source of the
  router-corpus-<name> default (was hand-derived in four files).
- corpus.ResolveKNNRouter + corpus.Seed carry the shared model
  resolution and seed validation; the REST endpoints and the assistant
  MCP client are thin transport adapters over them, with sentinel
  errors mapped to HTTP statuses at the echo boundary.
- middleware.NewClassifierDeps assembles the classifier dependency set
  once for all five entry points (OpenAI, Anthropic, realtime, decide,
  corpus) instead of five hand-copied literals.
- router.AllClassifiers feeds both the status endpoint and the
  unknown-classifier error, ending the classifier-list drift.
- Per-classifier requirements moved out of validateRouterPolicies into
  their buildClassifier arms; the knn arm owns its embedding_cache
  opt-out instead of a name-check in the shared wrap tail.
- adminOnly replaces four inline copies of the admin gate in the
  middleware routes.
- localVectorStore.Search delegates to SearchK (identical traces).

Efficiency:
- Manager.Add embeds outside the manager mutex and appends to the
  JSONL file (O(new) instead of O(corpus) rewrite); a torn tail from a
  crash mid-append is tolerated on read and repaired on next write.
- Stats memoises per store keyed on the file's stat fingerprint and no
  longer takes the manager mutex, so the 5s status poll stops parsing
  vector-laden JSONL and stops blocking behind seeds.
- KNN Classify decodes each neighbour payload once (was twice) and
  builds refs and votes in a single pass with one fallback return.
- Corpus file writes fsync before rename/close.
- The corpus manager is built eagerly in newApplication (sync.Once
  dropped); test helper dead branch removed.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 58ea2f5d79 feat(ui): give Operate and Studio a front door, and fix two layout regressions (#11305)
* feat(ui): give Operate a front door and fold six rail groups into four

Opening Operate ran firstVisiblePath() and landed on Backends, because
Backends happens to be written first in operateConsole.groups. The section
that should answer "is anything wrong" opened on a package manager, and
nothing was reported until you visited it.

Adds /app/operate. Its one irreplaceable block is "Needs attention", which
is empty when nothing is wrong and says so in a line rather than rendering a
reassuring green panel. It collects stale backends, failed operations and
unhealthy nodes. Everything else on the page is a summary you could already
assemble by visiting four others.

The rail regroups from six headings to four: Inference and Activity were both
"the runtime right now", Access and System were both administration. No
destination is removed and no gate changes, so isConsoleItemVisible and
consolePaths are untouched. Overview leads the first group, which is what
makes firstVisiblePath() return it without knowing it exists.

Rail entries now carry a signal beside the label. This does not replace the
sidebar badge and is not built as if it does: the badge stays on the
always-visible sidebar entry for the reason recorded in Sidebar.jsx, that the
rail exists only on Operate routes and can be collapsed. The signals are
orientation while inside Operate, so they are aria-hidden and nothing urgent
depends on them alone.

OperateSummaryContext polls once for the whole console, following
OperationsContext, which exists because per-consumer setInterval against one
endpoint was the defect it fixed. It is mounted by ConsoleLayout for the
Operate console only, so "poll only while in Operate" needs no route check.
Built on usePolling, so it pauses on a hidden tab. Operations are read from
OperationsContext rather than polled a second time, and each source degrades
to no-signal on its own so one dead endpoint cannot blank the rest. It reads
the cached GET /api/backends/upgrades and never the POST that forces a real
registry check.

Traces and Usage get no signal yet: /api/traces returns the list, so a count
would mean fetching every trace to render one number. A counts endpoint is
the honest fix and is scoped separately.

Full e2e suite green (369 passed, 4 skipped), including a render-smoke entry
for the new route.

* feat(ui): open Studio on what this machine can actually make

Studio was a tab strip over six generators that opened on Images, which was
never a decision, only the first entry in BASE_TABS. Nothing said which
modalities this installation could run, so the way to learn that video had no
model was to pick the tab and find an empty select.

Adds an overview tab and makes it the fallback. Explicit tabs still win, so
existing deep links keep working; anything unrecognised or gated now lands on
the overview rather than Images.

Each tab carries a dot: filled when an installed model advertises that
modality, hollow when nothing serves it. That is the feature in one detail,
turning the strip from navigation into a report of what the machine can do
before anything is clicked. The dot is aria-hidden because the overview states
the same facts in words and the dots change as models load.

Two kinds of unavailable, which had to stop looking alike:
  - switched off, via a permission: no tab and no lane, unchanged
  - available with no model: a lane, and a route to installing one

Studio now owns one MODALITIES table so the tab strip and the overview cannot
disagree about what exists, and calls useModels() once, unfiltered, grouping in
the browser. useModels(capability) fetches the whole list and filters locally,
so a hook per modality would have been six identical requests to
/api/models/capabilities on every mount. There is a test for that.

Recent outputs read every localStorage store through a new
readAllMediaHistory(), which avoids mounting five hooks that carry save timers
the overview has no use for. 3D is read separately through use3DHistory rather
than folded in: its entries are GLB blobs in IndexedDB, so they cannot come
from the same synchronous read.

Typical cost is the median of this machine's own history, not a guess, and
renders as a dash when there is nothing to go on.

* fix(ui): stop the stat cards and the console rail breaking on small screens

Two unrelated causes behind one report that /app/manage looks wrong when the
window is narrow.

The stat cards were being laid out by the wrong rule at every width. Two
different components both claimed `.stat-grid`: the dashboard card strip that
holds .stat-card children, and the detail-pane StatGrid the split views
introduced further down App.css. Being later, the second won every shared
property, so the cards got its 120px columns and its 1px hairline gap in place
of their own 180px columns and spacing-md. Four cards were packed onto a row
that fits two, labels wrapped to three lines and clipped, and the icon crowded
the value. Renamed the strip to `.stat-cards`, after the children it actually
holds, which also removes the mismatch of a `.stat-grid` container full of
`.stat-card`s. The split-view component keeps `.stat-grid` and its BEM parts.

The expanded console rail had no bounded height. Thirteen destinations stacked
in one column is taller than a phone, so opening the menu pushed the page's own
heading past the fold: the menu replaced the page rather than annotating it.
Capped at 55vh with internal scrolling below 768px, so the content behind stays
reachable.

Both are asserted on behaviour rather than markup: no stat-card label may be
clipped, the card gap must not be the detail pane's hairline, and expanding the
rail must leave the page heading on screen.

amber #f1b95d the site spends only on the thing asking for a decision. Eyebrows
go mint. Dividers become an opaque #29384a hairline rather than alpha over a
varying surface, which is what makes stacked surfaces read crisply on the site.

Light is derived, not inverted. The site ships one theme and never had to
answer this, but the app does: blue darkens to #2f62d8, mint to #0d8b60 and
amber to #8a5d0b, all clearing 4.5:1 on a cool paper ground, where the
dark-mode values sit near 2:1. Same three roles, different values.

Three files restate the palette because CSS variables cannot reach them:
cmTheme.js (the whole CodeMirror theme), VoiceVisualizer and WaveformPlayer
(canvas). Left alone they would have quietly kept the app half-Nord.

The `.lane` primitive replaces the near-identical row CSS that OperateOverview
and StudioOverview had each written: a full-bleed row on a hairline that insets
on hover, with no card and no shadow. Callers supply only the column template.
Both pages now use it, along with `.lane-head` for section rhythm and a
`.page-pad` container for top-level pages outside a console shell — without
which Studio sat flush against the sidebar with its eyebrow clipped.

Studio's tab strip wraps rather than running off the edge at narrow widths.

* feat(ui): put Home's resident models on lanes and give the footer one line

Home's status line was three chips saying a thing was true. It now reports
figures: how many models are resident, how many nodes are healthy, what share
of memory is in use, set in tabular monospace so the digits line up. A chip
answers whether; a figure answers how much, which is what someone opening the
page at a glance is after.

Resident models move from status chips to lanes, with the id set in a new
`.lane__name--id` because an id is something you might type or paste and the UI
face makes it read as a label. /api/system-information carries only the id, so
there is deliberately no backend or memory column: inventing one would mean a
server change this does not make.

The footer was three centred rows and cost the bottom sixth of every page for
chrome. It is one line now, version left and links right, wrapping to centred
when the viewport is too narrow to hold both. Every link it had, it keeps.

* fix(ui): correct three contrast failures and stop a guaranteed-404 poll

A contrast audit of the new palette found three values below WCAG AA, one of
which the previous commit message claimed was fine:

- White on the #4f8cff button is 3.22:1, which is large-text only. The website
  does exactly this, but a button label in an app is not large text, so the
  label goes to dark ink at 5.88:1. Light mode keeps white, which is 5.44:1 on
  its darker blue.
- Light-mode success was 4.08:1 on paper, not the 4.5 claimed. Darkened to
  #0a734f, 5.56:1.
- Nord red was already 4.28:1 on raised surfaces, a pre-existing miss carried
  over unexamined. Lifted to #c96f78, 5.02:1.

Lanes gain the two states they were missing: a 44px target on coarse pointers,
matching what EntityRail already does so the two list idioms feel the same
under a thumb, and a reduced-motion variant that keeps the background feedback
while dropping the hover inset, which is a position change.

The Operate summary no longer asks for /api/nodes on a single-node install. The
cluster API answers 503 when distributed mode is off, so it was a guaranteed
miss every fifteen seconds; it is now gated on useDistributedMode, the same
condition the rail already uses for the Nodes entry.

* fix(ui): restore the gap between overview blocks, and stop claiming zero nodes

Two defects a design review surfaced.

`.lane-head:first-child { margin-top: 0 }` was meant to stop the first block on
a page carrying a top margin. But every <section> makes its lane-head a first
child, so the reset applied to all of them and the gap between blocks vanished:
"Sections" sat flush against the attention row above it. The header supplies its
own bottom margin, so a uniform top margin is correct everywhere.

The Cluster summary read "0 nodes" on a single-node install, which looks like a
fault when the cluster API is simply switched off. It now says "Single node".

Dark is the identity rather than a preference: localai.io ships one theme and
it is this one, so an install should look like LocalAI before anyone has chosen
anything. The OS setting no longer selects light on first load. The toggle
still does, and a stored choice wins forever after, which the tests assert
both ways.

* feat(api): count traces server-side and give the Operate overview real totals

The overview's headline block had no source. /api/traces returns the trace
list, so "37 errors in 24h" meant fetching every buffered exchange to count it
in the browser — waste that grows with the buffer, to produce three integers.

Adds GET /api/traces/summary: totals, failures, p95 and a bucketed series for
sparklines, over a window that defaults to 24 hours and is capped at a week.

Deliberate calls, each with a spec:
- A 4xx is the caller getting it wrong, not the installation being unhealthy,
  so only 5xx and transport errors count as failures.
- p95 is a nearest-rank percentile rather than the slowest request, which is
  what a max would report and what makes latency panels lie.
- Buckets are oldest-first so a sparkline reads left to right, and the slice is
  never nil: nil serialises as null and breaks .map() on the other side, which
  is a silent runtime error rather than an empty chart.
- Exchanges outside the window are not counted at all.

The route is registered before /api/traces/:id so "summary" is not captured as
a trace ID.

On the client, Traces and Usage gain the rail signals they were shipped
without, the Observability section summary now states counts instead of listing
its destinations, and an installation that has served nothing says so rather
than showing three zeroes dressed as telemetry.

Sparkline is a bare stroke with an emphasised endpoint and no axes: the figure
above it already states the value, so its only job is the shape.

* fix(ui): stop the memory chart calling a trade-off an error

The VRAM-by-context chart rendered any build over the limit in error red, and
escalated the verdict to the error tone as soon as two context sizes crossed
it. But an over-limit build still installs — #11288 keeps a test on exactly
that — so red overstates what is happening. A model that fits at 32k and not
64k is a trade-off, not a fault.

Over-limit bars and the limit line now use the warning tone, which is the
constraint colour used everywhere else in this branch: know what you are doing,
not you may not. The error tone is reserved for "fits nowhere", where the model
genuinely cannot run on this host.

* feat(ui): give the new surfaces orchestrated motion

Uses the reveal system already in the codebase rather than adding a library:
pageReveal, .reveal-stagger and staggerStyle() were built for exactly this, and
anime.js would be ~17KB duplicating four lines of CSS for list reveals.

The overview's headline figures, attention rows and section lanes stagger in,
as do Studio's modality lanes and recent outputs, so a page assembles in the
order it is read instead of appearing all at once.

Two additions beyond stagger. Rail signals transition on opacity when a poll
lands, so a number changing reads as an update rather than a jump cut, and it
stays on the compositor so it cannot reflow the rail. The attention block
animates its left edge in — the one thing on the page that should announce
itself, and on the border rather than the text so nothing moves under a reader.

Both are dropped entirely under prefers-reduced-motion, alongside the lane
hover inset already handled.

* feat(ui): put the generators on a hairline field stack and record the request

The workbench treatment from the mocks, applied where it costs least: both
changes land on shared surfaces, so all six generators get them at once rather
than drifting apart page by page.

The control column stops being a shadowed card of boxed groups and becomes a
hairline field stack — the panel is the page's left half, not an object
floating on it — with uppercase micro-labels matching the eyebrow treatment
used elsewhere. Because .media-controls is shared, Images, Video, 3D, Speech,
Sound and Audio FX all move together.

RequestPanel shows the request the form actually built, with a copy-as-curl.
LocalAI is API-first and Studio is the best place in the app to teach its own
endpoints: the form stops being a black box, and a result worth keeping can be
reproduced from a shell without reverse-engineering which fields the page sent.
It records what was sent rather than what the form currently holds, and renders
nothing until a request has been made — a panel describing a request nobody
made is a tutorial, not a record. Wired into Images and Speech.

Rounded, filled, asymmetric bubbles fight a system built on hairlines, and they

had already given up its bubble; this finishes the job.

Both roles now run full width down one column, separated by a rule, each with a
mono role label. The user turn keeps a left edge in the action tone so the two
are still told apart at a glance, without a fill or a corner radius. The
avatars go: the accent and the label carry the speaker, so the glyph was
decoration once neither side had a bubble.

Saying who is speaking in words rather than in geometry is also what survives
being read aloud, printed, or looked at by someone who cannot pick the sides

* feat(ui): dress the API reference in LocalAI's palette

The Swagger page was the last surface still shipping in someone else's colours,
which is conspicuous now that everything it links from is dark.

Swagger UI has no theming hook, so rather than fork it we serve our own index
ahead of the library's wildcard and restate the palette over its stylesheet.
The library's own bundle and assets are still what load, so a swagger-ui
upgrade cannot silently break the page — this is a skin, not a fork.

Two things needed real care. Swagger tints the entire operation row per method
via .opblock.opblock-post and friends, so the palette had to match that
specificity rather than reach for !important; the method now lives on one edge
instead of washing across the row, because a page where every row is a status
colour has no status colour left. And the filled method chip put white on pale
green, which was the least readable thing on the page — it is an outlined mono
chip now, carrying the method in its border and text.

Palette values are copied from theme.css rather than referenced: this page is
served by Go and never sees the app's CSS. The comment says so, and says to
keep them in step.

* fix(ui): make tall split-view pages reachable, repair the Agents header, scale titles

Three things found by actually using the app rather than measuring it.

**Host was unusable.** The shell above a split view is overflow:hidden so the
document cannot grow, which left anything taller than the viewport simply
unreachable — and Host stacks a resources card, four stat cards and a tab bar
above its split, so the bottom of the pane fell off at every window height with
nothing to scroll. Every sweep I ran for this was horizontal, which is why it
kept coming back clean.

The page now scrolls inside the pinned shell. The pane keeps its own scroller:
letting it grow instead pushes the document taller and stretches the rail to
match, which is the regression e2e/discover-height.spec.js exists to catch, and
which the first version of this fix duly caused.

**The Agents header controls were unstyled** — "Create Agent" was rendering
with the browser's default chrome. The markup had been mangled at some point:
six unrelated classes merged into one string on the link, and the label and
button left with none at all and empty icons. Repaired, with the inline flex
replaced by a shared .header-actions class.

**Page titles take the editorial scale from the site**: larger, tracked at
-0.04em, on a line height near 1, so a two-word title reads as a statement
rather than a label. The typeface is unchanged — DESIGN.md keeps the existing
type system — so the whole difference is scale, tracking and leading, which is
where the site gets its voice from. This was the biggest reason the running app
still did not look like the mocks.

Richard Palethorpe 49ef40a187 feat(classifier/VAD): support voice control on low power devices (#10804)
* feat(llama-cpp): route Score through the slot loop

Score previously bypassed the slot loop with a direct llama_decode: a
conflict guard aborted the whole process if scoring raced generation, the
config validator had to reject score alongside chat/completion/embeddings,
and every candidate re-decoded the full shared prompt.

Add SERVER_TASK_TYPE_SCORE to the (patched) upstream server so score tasks
are scheduled like any other slot work: generation and scoring serialize
naturally, the shared prompt is decoded once per call, and the slot's
prompt cache carries the conversation prefix across calls. Context
checkpoints at the score boundary and at the cache-divergence point keep
SWA/hybrid/recurrent models (e.g. LFM2.5) from re-prefilling the whole
prompt per candidate: warm-turn scoring on a 6-option set drops from ~8s
to ~0.5s on a desktop CPU.

The conflict guard and the validation split are removed; declaring score
with generation usecases on one config is now supported and shares the
slot cache.

Classifier-mode responses: instead of autoregressive generation, each user
turn is prefill-scored against the option list (router.ScoreClassifier

canned reply and tool call are emitted through the existing response
machinery. Below-threshold turns take the configured fallback (none /
canned reply / generate); empty transcripts and unaddressed turns (wake
word not mentioned) skip scoring entirely. The scoring probe defaults to
the latest user message only — small scorers echo canned replies from
prior turns back as the top option otherwise.

Built for hardware that can afford prompt processing but not decode: with
slot-based Score the option list stays KV-cached across turns, so a turn
costs roughly one forward pass over the new words.

session_update_error events now carry the validation cause instead of a
generic message.

* fix(realtime): bound the VAD tick's scan window and buffer retention

The VAD tick loop re-scanned the entire input buffer every 300ms and only
trimmed it on zero-segment ticks or commits. Audio that keeps producing
segments without a committing pause (steady noise a mic pipeline lets
through, music, continuous speech) grew the buffer toward the 100MB cap
with each tick rescanning all of it — O(n^2), measured at ~3.3ms of silero
per buffered second: past ~90s retained, ticks run back to back and pin
~4 cores until the stream stops.

Silero's recurrent state only carries a few hundred ms of context, so
rescanning old audio buys nothing. Clip the slice handed to the VAD to the
largest silence the commit test can need to measure (server_vad silence
window or the semantic eagerness fallback) plus a warm-up margin, and
rebase the returned segment times so every downstream consumer keeps
whole-buffer coordinates. An open turn whose clipped window is all silence
now commits (the silence outran the window) instead of being discarded as
no-speech. Independently, retain at most 90s of raw buffer, rebasing the
live-feed and EOU cursors on trim — this also bounds the previously
unbounded VAD-error path. Turn boundaries are otherwise unchanged: no
forced commits, no new coordinator states.

pipeline.turn_detection.vad_window_sec can widen the scan window; values
below the automatic floor are ignored. The tick body is extracted into
vadTick so specs can drive turn detection synchronously (same shape as
classifySoundWindow); the babble reproduction that pinned 4 cores now
plateaus under 10% of one core.

* perf(llama-cpp): score all candidates in one batched decode

One scoring call is now a single SERVER_TASK_TYPE_SCORE task: the slot
decodes the shared prefix (prompt + longest common candidate token
prefix) once, then forks one sequence per candidate off it
(metadata-only for the unified KV cache, copy-on-write for recurrent
state) and decodes every candidate's unique tail in one llama_decode.
Previously each candidate was its own task that restored the boundary
checkpoint and re-decoded its full tail sequentially, paying
per-candidate task and decode overhead.

The context reserves SERVER_SCORE_FORK_SEQS extra sequence ids (and
recurrent-state cells) beyond the parallel slots via the new
common_params::n_seq_score_forks. Forking requires the unified KV cache
(already this backend's default) since per-sequence streams would shrink
n_ctx_seq; an explicit kv_unified:false disables forking and Score calls
that need it fail cleanly. Candidates beyond the fork/output budget
decode in successive chunks.

Wire contract and scores are unchanged: per-token logprobs are stitched
from the shared region and the forked tails. Verified bitwise
deterministic call-to-call and independent of candidate order (no
cross-fork leakage via equal-length candidate swap); ranking matches the
per-candidate implementation on the drone battery (winner softmax
0.99996 vs 0.99997), and >16-candidate chunking, prefix-of-another and
empty candidates all pass.

Measured on a desktop CPU: warm /api/score calls 0.52s -> 0.23s; warm
realtime classifier turns 196-303ms. The 9-candidate drone turn decodes
~17 unique tail tokens in one batch instead of nine sequential ~220ms

* feat(realtime): classifier argument slots via constrained completion

Hybrid classify-then-complete: a classifier option's canned tool call can
declare typed argument slots (number | enum | string, with defaults and
prompt hints) referenced as "{{name}}" in the arguments template. When
the option wins, the slots are filled by a short grammar-constrained
completion that continues the exact scoring prompt — rendered by the same
cached ScoreClassifier, so the llama.cpp prompt cache is already warm —
with the chosen route JSON re-opened at the first slot field. A GBNF
grammar pins the field skeleton and frees only the values; temperature 0,
a couple dozen tokens at most (~300ms on a desktop CPU for two slots).

Slot declarations and hints ride the option descriptions in the shared
system prompt, informing scoring and the fill alike at no per-turn token
cost. The localai.classifier.result event carries the final arguments and
a fill_latency_ms. On inference failure the slots' defaults apply; a slot
without a default fails the response (or falls through with
fallback.mode: generate). Slot filling requires completion alongside
score in the scoring model's known_usecases.

Verified end-to-end on the Pi drone demo: "fly forward three meters" in
distance mode classifies forward and infers {"distance": 3, "units":
"meters"} in ~310ms, and the drone flies exactly 3 units.

* feat(realtime): prewarm the classifier scoring prompt on registration

Swapping a session's classifier option list (a voice-switched command
mode, for instance) made the next turns pay a full re-prefill of the new
option-list prompt — measured 2.4s vs 0.3s warm on a desktop CPU, and
worse: on hybrid-memory models like LFM2.5, whose state cannot be
partially rewound (llama.cpp can only restore checkpoints), *every*
probe change re-prefilled from scratch whenever the last checkpoint
missed the probe boundary, so even same-list turns intermittently cost
full prefills.

Registering an option list (pipeline seed or session.update) now fires a
best-effort background prewarm: two throwaway scores with distinct
probes. The first prefills the new option-list prompt; the second,
diverging exactly where per-turn probe text starts, plants the backend's
rewind point (KV checkpoint) at the stable-prefix boundary that every
real turn reuses. The prewarm hides behind the canned mode-switch reply
— by the time it finishes speaking, the cache is warm. Idempotent per
option set, detached from the registering request's lifetime.

Measured on the drone demo (LFM2.5-1.2B, desktop CPU): first turn after
a mode switch 2374ms -> 340ms; intermittent same-list full prefills
(1.3-2.1s) all -> under 0.5s. For clients that swap lists frequently,
options: [parallel:2] on the scoring model additionally keeps one slot
per list via prefix-similarity routing (+26MB RSS, unified KV).

* perf(llama-cpp): checkpoint scoring at the caller-declared stable prefix

Hybrid-memory models (LFM2.5 shortconv, Qwen3.5 deltanet — where new
small models are headed) cannot rewind their state, so any prompt-cache
reuse that needs a rewind falls back to a full re-prefill. For classifier
scoring that meant every probe change re-processed the whole option-list
prompt: the server's checkpoints were placed reactively (at wherever the
previous task happened to diverge), so a checkpoint past the next
divergence was erased rather than restored — measured as intermittent
2-10s turns on prompts with a 95%+ common prefix.

The classifier now computes the probe-invariant prompt prefix once (the
byte-wise common prefix of two synthetic probe renders) and declares its
length with every Score request; the server maps it to a token boundary
and forces a KV checkpoint exactly there on each score prefill. That
checkpoint sits at or before every future divergence under the same
option list, so it always survives and always restores — repeat scoring
costs probe+candidates regardless of how the probe changes.

Also:
- prewarm reruns on every option-list registration instead of memoizing
  per list: with boundary checkpoints a redundant rewarm costs two
  probe-sized decodes, while skipping one after a slot eviction (three
  lists sharing fewer slots evict in LRU cascades) silently moves a full

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto ff299df453 perf(http): gzip responses, cache hashed assets, bound the trace endpoints (#11056)
Three measured HTTP-layer regressions on a live deployment, fixed together
because they all shape the bytes on the wire.

1. No compression. The server sent no Content-Encoding regardless of what
   the client asked for, confirmed with curl straight at 127.0.0.1:8080 so
   it was not an ingress artefact. Adds gzip middleware, on by default and
   configurable via LOCALAI_DISABLE_HTTP_COMPRESSION and
   LOCALAI_HTTP_COMPRESSION_MIN_LENGTH (default 1024 bytes so tiny bodies
   are not wastefully wrapped). Streaming routes are skipped explicitly:
   an SSE Accept header, a WebSocket upgrade, and the completion / SSE /
   log-tail path prefixes, because whether a completion request streams is
   decided by the request body, which the middleware runs too early to see.
   Already-compressed formats (woff2, png, mp4, ...) are skipped too; gzip
   made those marginally larger. Measured over the embedded React build:
   JS+CSS 2815 KB raw to 808 KB gzipped (3.48x).

2. No cache headers on content-hashed assets. Vite hashes the filenames,
   so a given /assets/ URL can never change content, yet they shipped with
   no Cache-Control, ETag or Last-Modified, and the browser re-fetched the
   whole bundle on every navigation with no conditional request available.
   /assets/* now carries public, max-age=31536000, immutable. index.html
   stays no-cache so a deploy is picked up, and the unhashed locale JSONs
   get a short TTL rather than the immutable one.

3. Unbounded trace endpoints. /api/traces returned 21,033,606 bytes in
   4.65s and /api/backend-traces 3,471,682 bytes in 1.50s, and the admin
   UI polls both every few seconds. The ring buffer holds up to 1024
   entries, each embedding full input_text payloads. Both list endpoints
   now take limit / offset / full, default to 50 entries, and strip the
   heavy fields (request and response bodies plus headers for API traces,
   body and data for backend traces) unless full=true. Every trace gets a
   process-lifetime ID and GET /api/traces/{id} and
   /api/backend-traces/{id} serve the full record, which is what the UI
   fetches when a row is expanded. The list body stays a JSON array;
   paging metadata rides in X-Total-Count, X-Trace-Offset and
   X-Trace-Limit. Reproducing the live shape in a test, the polled payload
   goes from 21,131,097 bytes to 7,201 bytes.

localai-org-maint-botandEttore Di Giacinto 4be6e22b5f feat(webui): surface user, client IP and user agent in API traces (#10886, #10887) (#10907)
The Operate → Traces "API Traces" panel already recorded who made each
request (user_id/user_name) but never showed it, and did not capture the
caller's network identity at all. Operators asked to see the requesting
user (#10886) and the client IP + user agent (#10887) so a trace can be
attributed to who/what issued it.

Backend: add ClientIP and UserAgent to APIExchange and populate them from
echo's c.RealIP() (honours X-Forwarded-For / X-Real-IP behind a trusted
proxy) and the request's User-Agent header. Both are omitempty and the
/api/traces swagger response is map[string]any, so this is additive.

UI: add a sortable "User" column to the API traces table and a metadata
block (User / Client IP / User Agent) at the top of the expanded row
detail. Fields render only when present, so older buffered traces and
unauthenticated/local requests degrade cleanly.

Adds an e2e spec covering the new column value and the expanded metadata.

Richard Palethorpe 3fa7b2955c feat(pii): NER tier engine — privacy-filter.cpp backend + NER-centric PII filter (#10360)
Squashed feat/pii-ner-tier-engine rebased onto master (was 45 commits; see
backup/pii-ner-tier-engine-prerebase). Net change:

- privacy-filter.cpp: standalone GGML engine for the openai-privacy-filter
  PII/NER token classifier, wired as a LocalAI gRPC backend (CPU/CUDA/Vulkan).
  TokenClassify moves off the patched llama.cpp path onto this backend.
- PII filter reworked to be NER-centric (encoder/NER detection tier scanning
  whole conversations as one document), with a recreated bounded restricted-
  regex secret-matching pattern detector tier alongside it (per-model
  pii_detection.builtins / .patterns + core/services/routing/piipattern).
- Detection labelled by source (ner vs pattern); backend trace / confidence /
  debug observability; analyze/redact exposed as a synchronous API.
- Instance-wide default detector policy + per-usecase default-on; request
  filtering extended to completions, embeddings, edits & Ollama.
- React UI: NER-centric PII editor, detector-models table, pattern/builtins
  editor, middleware default-policy UI.
- Gallery: privacy-filter-multilingual token-classify model + NER install
  filter; token_classify known_usecase; batch sized to context for NER models.
  privacy-filter backend registered in the backend gallery (cpu/vulkan/cuda-13
  meta + image entries with a capabilities map) matching its CI matrix jobs,
  and an /import-model auto-detect importer (PrivacyFilterImporter, narrow
  privacy-filter GGUF detection) replacing the prior pref-only registration.

Reconciled against master's independent evolution:

- Dropped master's PIIPatternOverrides feature (global-pattern runtime
  overrides + /api/pii/patterns API + runtime_settings.json persistence). The
  per-model NER + pattern-detector design supersedes it; it was built on the
  global redactor pattern set this branch replaced.
- Reverted the llama.cpp Score carry-patch (0006-server-task-type-score):
  removed the patch and restored master's grpc-server.cpp Score RPC (direct
  llama_decode, slot-loop bypass) and LLAMA_VERSION pin, plus master's
  model_config validation forbidding score + chat/completion/embeddings on
  llama-cpp. token_classify is unaffected (it runs on the privacy-filter
  backend, not llama-cpp).

Richard Palethorpe 085fc53bbc fix(router): production-ready request router + auto-size batch for embedding/rerank (#10104)
* fix(router): score classifier production-readiness

Conversation trimming runs through the classifier model's chat template
and trims by exact token count, sized to the model's n_batch which is
now scaled to context so long probes can't crash the backend. Missing
chat_message templates are a hard error at router build time. Router-
facing factories (Embedder/Scorer/Reranker/TokenCounter) re-resolve
ModelConfig per call so a model installed post-startup doesn't bind a
stub Backend="" config and silently fall into the loader's auto-
iterate path.

New 'vector_store' backend trace recorded inside localVectorStore on
every Search/Insert — including the backend-load-failure path that
previously vanished into an xlog.Warn — with outcome tagging
(hit/miss/empty_store/backend_load_error/find_error/insert_error/ok).
Companion cleanup drops misleading similarity:0 and input_tokens_count:0
from non-hit and text-mode traces.

Gallery local-store-development aliases to 'local-store' so the master
image satisfies pkg/model.LocalStoreBackend lookups from the embedding
cache.

Misc: llama-cpp TokenizeString reads the correct 'prompt' JSON key
(the original bug); ModelTokenize nil-guard; non-fatal mitm proxy
startup; PII 'route_local' renamed to 'allow' with docs/UI in sync;
model-editor footer no longer eats the edit area on small screens;
several config-editor template/dropdown/section fixes.

Tests: e2e router specs (casual/code-hint + long-conversation trim),
vector_store trace specs, lazy-factory specs, gallery dev-alias
resolution, Playwright trace badge + scroll regression.

* feat(backend): auto-size batch to context for embedding and rerank models

Embedding and rerank models pool over the whole input in a single physical batch (n_ubatch). With batch left at the 512 default, the backend rejects longer inputs with "input is too large to process", silently capping a large-context embedder (e.g. 8k/32k) at 512 tokens. Size n_batch to the context for these single-pass usecases, mirroring the existing FLAG_SCORE behaviour; an explicit batch: still wins.

Extracts EffectiveContextSize/EffectiveBatchSize from grpcModelOpts so the effective decode window has one home for other callers to reuse.

Adds an e2e-aio regression test that embeds a >512-token input. The AIO embedding model is switched to nomic-embed-text-v1.5 (2048 context) because the previous granite model was capped at 512 tokens and could not exercise the larger batch.

* fix(gallery): raise arch-router scoring output cap via parallel:64

Scoring decodes the whole prompt+candidate in a single llama_decode and

caps causal output rows at n_parallel, so the default of 1 aborts with
GGML_ASSERT(n_outputs_max <= cparams.n_outputs_max) on multi-token route
labels. Set options: [parallel:64] on both arch-router quant entries to
lift the cap; kv_unified (the grpc-server default) keeps the full context
per sequence, so this does not split the KV cache.

* feat: forward reasoning_effort to the backend so jinja models honor it

reasoning_effort was only mapped to the binary enable_thinking toggle and
otherwise reached Go-side templates — it was never sent to the backend. So
jinja-templated models whose chat template keys on reasoning_effort (gpt-oss
Harmony, LFM2.5) could not be driven by it: LFM2.5 ignores enable_thinking and
kept emitting <think>.

Forward the effective reasoning_effort to the backend as a chat_template_kwarg
(mirroring enable_thinking) in grpc-server.cpp, and put it in PredictOptions
metadata (gRPCPredictOpts). Add a config-level default: ModelConfig.reasoning_effort
and Pipeline.reasoning_effort, resolved by ModelConfig.ApplyReasoningEffort
(request value overrides config default, none->disable / level->enable, an
operator's reasoning.disable wins). request.go now uses that helper.

realtime pipeline disable thinking on models that only honor reasoning_effort

enhancement attenuates (bright input bands that go dark in the output).

Computed client-side via a Hann-windowed STFT over both clips (a small

* test(react-ui): make UI coverage deterministic, tighten the gate

UI e2e line coverage swung ~1pp run-to-run (39.1% <-> 40.2%), which forced
a loose 0.8pp tolerance on the monotonic gate — a band wide enough to let
a real ~300-line regression through silently. The swing was a bug, not
inherent jitter: the 'Create Agent navigates' spec ended on the URL
assertion, so AgentCreate.jsx's ~400 lines were collected only when its
render happened to beat the coverage teardown.

Wait for the page to actually render (assert its heading) so those lines
are covered every run. With the race gone, repeated runs land within
~0.013pp of each other, so:

- tighten UI_COVERAGE_TOLERANCE 0.8 -> 0.1 (noise floor, not a drift band)
- set the baseline to the real, reliably-achieved value (39.0 -> 39.86)

Localised by running the V8-coverage suite repeatedly and diffing per-file
line coverage; AgentCreate.jsx was the sole ~1pp flipper.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 4a2cc64d07 feat(reasoning): honor per-request reasoning_effort on chat completions (#10082)
The OpenAI `reasoning_effort` field only reached the prompt template; it
never toggled the backend's thinking. Map it onto
ReasoningConfig.DisableReasoning (which becomes the enable_thinking gRPC
metadata) in the request merge, so reasoning_effort="none" disables
reasoning per request: the use case from #10072 (run a single Qwen3-style
model and turn reasoning off for low-latency tasks while keeping it on
for others).

Effort levels (minimal/low/medium/high) enable thinking unless the model
config explicitly disabled it (reasoning.disable: true wins and is never
re-enabled by a request); "none" always disables.

Closes #10072

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 06e777b75e feat(distributed): gated X-LocalAI-Node response header (middleware + wrapper) (#9976)
* feat(distributed): add per-request node ID context holder

Introduce pkg/distributedhdr, a leaf package carrying a per-request
*atomic.Value holder for the picked worker node ID from the
SmartRouter (core/services/nodes) up to the HTTP response writer
wrapper (core/http/middleware). Avoids the import cycle that a shared
key in either consumer would create.

Exposes NewHolder, WithHolder, Holder, Stamp, Load, Inherit. The
holder is atomic.Value so cross-goroutine publish from the router to
the response writer wrapper is race-clean.

* feat(distributed): add ExposeNodeHeader middleware + response writer wrapper

New ApplicationConfig.ExposeNodeHeader bool + --expose-node-header CLI
flag / LOCALAI_EXPOSE_NODE_HEADER env var (default off; the node ID
reveals internal topology and is opt-in).

The middleware creates a per-request *atomic.Value holder, attaches it
to c.Request().Context() via distributedhdr.WithHolder, and wraps
c.Response().Writer with a custom http.ResponseWriter that sets the
X-LocalAI-Node header on first Write / WriteHeader / Flush by reading
the holder. Implements http.Flusher, http.Hijacker, Unwrap so it
composes cleanly with Echo and http.NewResponseController.

request.go propagates the holder onto derived contexts via
distributedhdr.Inherit so the holder survives the correlation-ID
context replacement.

Unit + race-clean concurrency + integration specs.

* feat(distributed): stamp node ID in router and wire middleware to inference routes

ModelRouterAdapter.Route stamps the picked node ID into the
per-request holder via distributedhdr.Stamp(ctx, result.Node.ID) right
after replica selection.

Wire ExposeNodeHeader middleware to:
- OpenAI chat/completion/embeddings + audio transcriptions/speech + image generations/inpainting
- Anthropic /v1/messages
- Ollama /api/chat, /api/generate, /api/embed, /api/embeddings
- Jina /v1/rerank
- LocalAI /v1/vad

The middleware's wrapper reads the holder on first byte and sets the
X-LocalAI-Node response header before delegating to the underlying
writer. Per-request scope means no race under concurrent multi-replica
routing.

* fix(distributed): thread request context through backend Load + cover ctx propagation

Five non-OpenAI backend helpers were silently using app.Context instead
of the request context for the gRPC backend call: transcription, TTS,
image generation, rerank, VAD. Effect: distributedhdr.Stamp in the
router callback was a silent no-op for these paths, AND client
cancellation didn't propagate to in-flight inference.

Thread c.Request().Context() (or the equivalent input.Context after
the request middleware has installed the correlation-ID derived
context) through each helper and into ModelOptions via
model.WithContext(ctx). ImageGeneration's signature gains a leading
ctx parameter; in-tree callers (openai image, openai inpainting,
openai inpainting_test) are updated to match.

ModelEmbedding gains a leading ctx parameter for the same reason; the
openai and ollama embedding handlers pass the request context through.

chat_stream_workers.go defers the initial role=assistant chunk
emission until the first token callback so the wrapper's lazy
X-LocalAI-Node lookup against the loader runs AFTER ml.Load has
stamped the per-modelID node ID; semantically identical for clients
(role still arrives before any text).

Regression test core/backend/ctx_propagation_test.go pins ctx
propagation for all five helpers.

Docs updated to enumerate the full endpoint coverage of the
--expose-node-header flag.

Richard Palethorpe 6a80e23733 feat(middleware): Model routing, PII filtering, Cloud model proxies (#9802)
Add a routing middleware stack and a cloud-proxy backend.

* cloud-proxy: a Go gRPC backend that forwards OpenAI- and
  Anthropic-shaped chat requests to upstream providers, with an
  optional translate mode (OpenAI request -> Anthropic /v1/messages
  -> OpenAI response) and full tool-calling support.

* routing: admission control, content-aware model routing
  (embedding cache + classifier + rerank + Arch-Router score),
  PII detection/redaction (regex + NER) with streaming filter and
  OpenAI/Anthropic adapters, and a per-user/per-key billing recorder
  backed by GORM or in-memory storage.

* middleware: UsageMiddleware records usage via the billing recorder,
  plus admission, route-model, usage-stamp and trace middlewares.

* observability: BackendTrace ring buffer stores full request bodies
  (capped), MITM proxy emits structured trace events, and router
  classifier decisions surface at /api/router/decide.

* gallery: Arch-Router-1.5B (Q4_K_M and Q8_0).

* UI: cloud-proxy model-editor fields, classifier system-prompt and
  score-normalization config, and a Traces page rendering request
  bodies.
